Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 48 The Show Begins (Please Read On)

Are you alright?

"Yes, it's nothing, thank you, Hikaru."

The mist gradually dissipated, and the figure of light appeared beside Yuzhi, though Yuzhi's expression at this moment was somewhat helpless.

Especially when he saw the Amaterasu Flame still burning around him on the ground, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The moment he saw the flames, he had already guessed that they were made by light.

Madara's eye technique has never been explained, and no one knows what it is.

But no matter how you look at it, it's probably not the Amaterasu technique, and Hagoromo had also made some guesses about it.

Madara always gave people only one feeling—that he was so powerful that he was invincible, and all the power he wielded was terrifying.

Is it possible that one of his eye techniques is to enhance the power of any of his techniques?

Of course, this is just speculation, and judging from his subsequent actions, he really never used Amaterasu.

Therefore, the only thing that can currently unleash Amaterasu is light.

"Furthermore, this Amaterasu is quite different; its form can be controlled like this. Could it be that her other eye technique is Kagutsuchi?"

Yuzhi was secretly curious, but even though he knew the flames were protecting him, he could sense that they might erupt at any moment.

Therefore, he dared not move at all, which led to a very awkward situation.

Kisame and Zabuza both ran away.

The two of them were also thrown back by the huge shockwave, and the powerful force made them realize the danger.

Moreover, they all knew that such a commotion would likely attract more enemies.

In addition, the pressure that the haori brought them was too great, so they made a decision after exchanging a glance.

I'm so slick!

Hikaru had no idea what Haori was thinking. She only glanced at the flames on the ground, and in an instant, the flames vanished without a trace.

"Is your power Amaterasu?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yuzhi finally couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, one of his abilities is Amaterasu."

She glanced at the haori, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

One of the abilities.

Yuzhi was speechless; he was now completely certain that Hikari had indeed had more than one eye technique transplanted into her.

However, he didn't press the matter further. It was impolite to pry into other people's secrets, and now was not the time.

He wasn't sure what Kakashi and Rin's current situation was, and he had to find them quickly.

He didn't want Obito to live so comfortably, especially since it concerned his mission!

"I have two teammates who are missing, I need to go find them."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi spoke softly to the light.

"Also, you'd better avoid using such power if possible."

Why?

Hikaru looked at Haori with a puzzled expression, and after thinking for a moment, she asked curiously.

Are you worried that I'm too conspicuous and will attract attention?

Are you only realizing it now?

Yuzhi felt somewhat speechless, but he changed his perspective and said, "Although I don't have your eyes, I have read some books."

"Books?" Hikaru blinked.

"Yes, while the Mangekyou Sharingan is the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, these eyes have a significant drawback."

Yuzhi's expression turned slightly serious.

"The more you use them, the faster they will be sealed off, until they are completely sealed off and forever plunged into darkness."

These eyes, though they grant you power, also strip you of everything.

So, I hope you promise me that you won't use its power lightly unless you encounter real danger, okay?

Don't you want me to fall into darkness again?

Hikaru looked at Haori quietly, and after a moment she nodded gently: "I promise you, Haori."

"Um"

Hearing this, Yuzhi breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although it was very likely that she had attracted Madara's attention, it was still necessary to keep a low profile from now on.

But he always felt that the light seemed to have misunderstood.

"Captain, does this kid really know something?"

At the cave on the other side of the forest, several masked members of the Mist Shadow Guard looked at the unconscious Lin, and one of them couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Further intelligence indicates that this brat is a disciple of Minato Namikaze."

The leader of the dark forces glanced at his subordinates, thought for a moment, and then spoke up.

"Not only him, but also that white-haired guy, and Minato Namikaze was involved in the entire peace talks between Konoha and Iwagakure."

As his disciple, I suppose I can pry out some information, which would make it easier for us to carry out this sabotage.

Do you really want this damned Konoha to end the war like this? Don't forget the humiliation they inflicted on us!

The hatred between Konoha and Kirigakure has always run deep. Even with the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage dying together, their main conflict remains Konoha.

Perhaps the legends of the past are true—when Konoha was founded, Hashirama Senju invited the various clans that were then in the Land of Fire and are now the Hidden Mist Village.

However, they all refused, so Madara Uchiha personally intervened and drove them all into the sea, which led to the creation of Kirigakure.

Of course, no one can say for sure whether this is true or not, because those powerful families would never admit it.

Similarly, no one dared to ask, but the Land of Whirlpools, which was once very close to Konoha, was destroyed by Kirigakure.

"Is that so? It seems this kid does have some value after all."

As the Dark Division leader recounted the story, the other members of the Hidden Mist Dark Division no longer had any doubts.

"Alright, once she wakes up, prepare to interrogate her for information. Leave one person to guard her, and the rest of you go and clean up any traces."

"Yes, Captain!"

The secret agents immediately responded loudly, and soon they left, leaving only one person to guard the cave entrance.

But after they left, a stone in one corner of the cave suddenly moved slightly and then silently shattered.

Kakashi sprang into action, his crimson eyes fixed on the remaining Mist Ninja, his chakra surging slightly.

"Um?"

The Mist Ninja ANBU also noticed this at that moment, but the instant he turned around, Kakashi had already moved!

The sword in his hand danced lightly, and once Kakashi had landed steadily, the short sword was already sheathed.

And this hidden operative has been silently eliminated by him!

Kakashi took a deep breath and looked at the unconscious Rin, feeling both relieved and guilty.

If he hadn't been so weak, how could Lin have been kidnapped?

Fortunately, the Mist Shadows who intercepted him did not seem to have any intention of fighting to the death. The explosion was so loud that they were worried that more enemies would arrive.

That's why Kakashi was able to catch up quickly and, with the help of the ninja dogs, find Rin's location!

"It's alright, Lin."

Looking at the unconscious Rin, Kakashi sighed inwardly.

"This time, I will absolutely not let the past happen again. I will protect everything!"

However, what Kakashi didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes watching them from underground.

That eerie chakra flowed invisibly within the cave—

"Madara-sama."

In the basement of the Land of Grass, the White Zetsu's head once again emerged from the wall.

"Obito is ready, and he wants to see you now."

"Um."

Ban nodded slightly, and then he asked.

"How are things going with Iwagakure and Konoha?"

"They've already started moving and are heading that way."

Bai Jue truthfully stated that doing all this silently was not difficult for him at all.

"Furthermore, as Madara-sama requested, Iwagakure will arrive earlier, while Konoha will arrive later."

"Then let Obito come to see me."

He nodded, a playful smile appearing on his aged face.

"After so much preparation and waiting, it's time for the show to begin."

As a newbie, I'm begging you to follow along! Following along now will determine everything about a book; neglecting a book too long can easily kill it.

Thank you all, Onz
