Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 44 Ambush

chirp——

The calls of nightjars hunting were clear and melodious, echoing intermittently through the dark and deep mountain forest.

The caravan moved slowly forward.

In front of the low-lying area is a narrow valley.

The cliffs on the left and right are about ten feet high.

A six-man squad lay prone on the right cliff, disguised as Konoha ANBU members, with two of them watching the clouds gradually disappear into the distance.

The six individuals blended seamlessly with the darkness, resembling patient hunters; they were the Root Organization team led by Yamanaka Kaze and Aburame Torune.

Both were highly regarded by Danzo.

This led to Danzo's death.

They brought Danzo's last remaining loyal followers to intercept and kill the Uchiha defector squad.

"Captains, it looks like a caravan is approaching from ahead," a Root member reported in a low voice.

Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune exchanged a glance, and the former said in a deep voice, "Drive them all into the area covered by the throwing ninja tool traps and take care of them all."

"Yes!" Two Root members, disguised as members of the Dark Guard, disappeared in an instant toward the valley exit.

They understood the mountain wind's decision.

Better to kill the wrong person than to kill the innocent.

We will not let them go.

Even if it were an ordinary caravan, it would prevent the Uchiha defectors from disguising themselves and infiltrating the caravan.

"The commotion in the forest just now could be Asuma's squad or another pursuit team attacking the Uchiha defectors, which I can understand. But the changes in the clouds above..."

The oil-producing woman spoke in a low voice.

"That was definitely caused by swordsmanship. I guess it must have been a strong ninja in the ninja world who attacked the Uchiha defector group. In any case, no one in the Uchiha clan knows such powerful swordsmanship."

The mountain wind whispered.

Aburame Torune said:

"Hmm, hopefully Asuma and the other pursuit team can cause some trouble for the Uchiha group!"

Yamanaka Fu, however, didn't take it seriously. After thinking for a moment, he reminded them, "If you encounter them, be sure to keep your distance and watch out for their control-type eye techniques!"

"My newly bred nanoscale sensory insects reside within your bodies. Once someone is controlled, I can sense your mental and chakra reactions."

They were well-prepared for this ambush.

……

The caravan entered the valley.

Sitting in the back of the truck, Yin Yue looked up, surveyed the towering cliffs on both sides, and fell into deep thought.

If there are already organized groups lying in wait in the Gecheng Mountains, this type of terrain is the most suitable for an ambush.

The task was essentially a reminder to him.

The team is walking into a trap.

This time, it was another mission to annihilate the pursuit team, only the target had changed to a team from the Root organization.

This is the trouble that defectors to Konoha will inevitably face.

"Danzo's remnants?"

Yin Yue had her answer, but she had never imagined that after Danzo's death, members of the Root organization would avenge him.

"All tied up!"

With a smile on her face, Kurenai tied the ninja tool bag for Yinyue, slowly got up, sat down next to Yinyue, and quietly watched his face.

"I'm sorry... I misunderstood you just now."

Suddenly, Mikoto Uchiha's dignified and gentle voice came from across from Yinyue.

Yin Yue lowered his head and looked directly at the other person.

Mikoto Uchiha's gaze was sincere and apologetic, her eyes lowered as she explained:

"I didn't understand your actions just now, so I wanted to stop you. I didn't expect you were just checking her body..."

Although Mikoto still doesn't understand the meaning behind Yinyue's actions, she has indeed misunderstood him.

she knows.

Yin Yue really had no feelings for that little girl.

Do that.

He must have another purpose, one that might help the team escape.

Thinking about it this way, Mikoto, who is always gentle, kind, and understanding, felt it was necessary to apologize to the other party.

It's unpleasant to be misunderstood.

"Ah, why do you need to examine me?"

Hotaru blushed, her curiosity piqued, and looked at Mikoto. The other Uchiha remained unmoved, not daring to gossip too much about Yinyue's private affairs.

Yin Yue shifted her gaze from Uchiha Mikoto's fair and pretty face to the other Uchiha, and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle!"

Upon hearing this, the Uchiha's expressions gradually turned serious.

When Yin Yue said those words.

This means... danger is nearby!

Uchiha Mikoto's pupils trembled slightly, as if she had made a decision in her heart. Her gaze was resolute as she stared at Yin Yue, extended her fair wrist, turned her palm, and asked:

"Could I have a weapon?"

Yin Yue nodded, took the only kunai from the ninja tool bag that Kurenai had tied for him, and handed it to her.

To his relief, when danger came, this chieftain's wife would stand up and fight for the remaining members of her tribe instead of choosing to run away.

Ying's pupils trembled slightly as she stared at the half-face beneath Yin Yue's black hood, wondering what this man meant by preparing for battle.

Meanwhile, Izumi, from the Uchiha group, had a sudden change in expression, inwardly exclaiming:

"No way, this mountain is really dangerous. No matter which way you choose, you're bound to encounter danger?"

Why did Captain Yinyue insist on going into the mountains?

The Uchiha immediately realized what was happening.

Knowing that there was danger in the mountains, Captain Yinyue still went into the mountains. His intention was very clear: he wanted to annihilate the pursuers!

Thinking of this, the Uchiha were excited, each one quietly clenching their fists, ready to fight at any moment.

The caravan moved forward slowly.

Land Acquisition

The first carriage suddenly stopped, followed by Zong Quan's seemingly intimidating reprimand: "Everyone in front, get out of the way! This is a caravan of the Earth Spider Clan!"

Gollum—

The wheels of the caravan came to a stop one after another, and the horses, led by the caravan members, snorted and neighed.

Yin Yue and the others turned to look ahead.

In the dark forest.

Two figures wearing ANBU masks and Konoha gray-white armor slowly emerged.

One of them said dismissively:

"We are Konoha's Anbu. We suspect that a group of rogue ninja has infiltrated your convoy. All personnel must disembark and submit to inspection. Anyone who disobeys will be treated as a rogue ninja!"

Upon hearing this, Zongquan's eyes twitched slightly. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Sir ninja, we are all law-abiding citizens. There is no traitor in our ranks..."

Bang! !

Before Zongquan could finish speaking, another tall ANBU ninja kicked Zongquan in the stomach with great force, sending him crashing into the car wheel.

"Uh..." Zong Quan knelt on the ground, his pupils wide, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and a sharp pain shooting through his abdomen.

But his mind was racing.

In this situation.

It is necessary to avoid offending either side.

He wasn't sure if these Konoha Anbu members could take care of the S-rank rogue ninja in the convoy.

If they can't resolve the situation and betray the rogue ninja, their ultimate fate will be death.

On the second carriage.

Aside from Yin Yue wearing a black robe, all the Uchiha clan's katanas had already been collected. Even Kurenai Yuhi and Nono had changed into the clothing of the Tsuchigumo clan and used transformation techniques to change their faces and bodies.

In the darkness, Yin Yue blended into the ordinary-looking group, her black robe making her inconspicuous.

At this moment, the Uchiha all looked at Yin Yue, waiting for his signal.

"That's the Dark Guard..."

"Uchiha Nanfeng said in a low voice."

"No, it's the root."

Yinyue calmly explained.

The Uchiha members looked bewildered. Root organization?

Only Yin Yue knew that these were just members of the Root organization disguised as members of the Dark Side.

They must have been the group that tracked them down around the same time as Asma and the others on the night of the massacre.

"There should be quite a few enemies lurking on these cliffs. I'll hold them off from the front, you guys handle the assassinations!"

Yinyue briefly assigned the task.

"Yes..." the Uchiha replied in a low voice, then fell silent.

Quan sighed helplessly, realizing she had really run into trouble. Now she could only pin her hopes on the fact that there were no ambushes on the other two paths.
