Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 54 Konoha Crush Plan

The moonlight was cold and dim, with only a few scattered stars. The outskirts of the Earth Spider Clan's territory were desolate and deserted.

Muddy roadside.

Yin Yue turned around, her gaze sweeping over the courtyard of the Earth Spider leader, then looking at Yuhi Kurenai behind her, and instructed her:

"Since the Traveler has given me the forbidden technique, the Earth Spider Clan is still useful. I need you to leave the party now and take the Earth Spider Clan to the largest refugee settlement on the border of the Land of Earth."

Except for the northwest direction.

Other directions are safe.

With you leading the team, I feel much more at ease. I'll come find you after this battle is over.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Kurenai blinked her beautiful eyes, and under the light purple eyeshadow, her ruby-like eyes shone with confidence. Her red lips were slightly upturned, and a gentle smile appeared on her made-up face.

This feeling of being trusted by someone she likes is exactly the emotional feedback she needs.

The two had a brief conversation.

Kurenai accepted the mission, instantly leaving the party and returning to the Tsuchigumo leader's courtyard to find Hotaru and the Grand Elder. For her, there were no obstacles on the way, and the mission was indeed not difficult.

Everyone turned to look at Hong's disappearing figure, each pondering their captain's intentions.

Quan raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes revealing envy.

She felt that the captain was considering preventing Kurenai Yuhi, a Konoha Jonin who was not wanted, from witnessing their battle with Konoha ninjas.

"Let's go."

Yinyue and the others continued northwest, leaving the Earth Spider Clan's territory. Ahead lay a continuous mountain range and forest.

It is Mount Xufu, which connects to the border of the Land of Fire, spans hundreds of kilometers, and has vast primeval forests in the ninja world.

The group crossed the plain.

Entering the edge of the forest.

As night fell, the group arrived at a hill. Yin Yue led the group to stop, looked up at the full moon to determine their direction, and then glanced sideways at Kimimaro.

After joining the team, the boy remained quiet until he received instructions from Yin Yue.

Received attention.

Kimimaro stepped out of the ranks and approached Yin Yue. Without saying a word, he took out a black intelligence scroll from his robes and handed it to her: "This is Konoha intelligence that the master asked me to give you."

Yinyue examined the scroll with her eyes, reached out and took it, while Quan thoughtfully held up a torch to illuminate it.

Yin Yue did not open the scroll. Her gaze was calm and still as she scrutinized Kimimaro, asking, "Orochimaru is also interested in the Angry Heaven?"

These words were spoken.

A cold, pale, and effeminate face immediately appeared in the minds of the Uchiha members. Coupled with the other party's reputation for cruelty and his status as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, their bodies gradually tensed up.

Orochimaru!

The "adult" the boy was referring to was Orochimaru, an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha.

Uchiha Nanfeng and the others recalled that before the night of the massacre, Yin Yue was arrested by the police department and imprisoned for the crime of "colluding with rogue ninjas".

The rogue ninja that Yin Yue contacted at the beginning.

It was Orochimaru!

Except for Tamao, the Uchiha members all looked shocked and surprised as they stared at the handsome young man and Yinyue.

Kimimaro remained calm, lightly tapping his chin:

"I am indeed interested. I also knew in advance that you would take this route and would most likely not let go of this forbidden technique, so I infiltrated the Earth Spider clan beforehand."

"And now?"

Yin Yue withdrew her gaze, opened the scroll, and, with the help of Quan's torch, viewed the intelligence information on it.

Kimimaro lowered his head and replied:

"If you were to obtain it, Lord Orochimaru would likely have no other thoughts."

The Uchiha members looked grave, belatedly recalling the words Kimimaro had spoken to Yin Yue after killing Hakuro.

Orochimaru acknowledged Yin Yue and treated him as a friend and ally who could be treated as an equal.

Therefore, their Captain Yinyue seized the forbidden technique that Orochimaru also coveted, and Orochimaru had no objection to this.

"..."

The Uchiha looked at their captain with awe and lingering fear, finding Yin Yue even more mysterious and unpredictable.

From contacting Orochimaru to deliberately get himself imprisoned, to leading them on their escape, and now Orochimaru sending people to pick them up, everything is proceeding smoothly.

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes shimmered as she gazed at the young man's upright back, lost in thought.

Ignoring the various gazes around her, Yin Yue focused her mind on reading the scroll's contents.

As Kimimaro said, the information was very detailed, almost entirely gathered by Orochimaru using all the spies he had planted in Konoha.

Key points include:

"After Konoha issued the order to hunt down the Uchiha defector squad, before dispatching the pursuing ninja, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, held a mobilization meeting and a meeting of clan leaders for all the major clans."

"Konoha sent a cooperation document to its allies to jointly eliminate an S-rank rogue ninja."

"A partial list of members of the Konoha pursuit ninja team, and their approximate current location."

The intelligence report concluded with a list of the pursuing ninja team members and Orochimaru's message:

"Drinking Moon Lord, it's been a long time."

I never expected that the old man would go to such lengths to deal with you, even more so than he did with me back then.

However, you should be careful.

As far as I know.

The old man's rhetoric of using the "Will of Fire" to inspire people at the clan leaders' meeting, along with his appropriate concessions, has already piqued the interest of some Konoha clan leaders.

Some members of the secret agents who are hunting you down have an extremely high level of secrecy.

Even I couldn't find out. I guess it must be some clan leader who chose to get involved personally.

Hopefully, our plan will proceed as scheduled.

I will keep my promise.

After that, I hope you can survive. If you die, the ninja world will lose a lot of fun and anticipation for me, so please be sure to survive.

Best of luck.

—Orochimaru.

After reading, Yin Yue's gaze lingered on the list of the Anbu chasing ninja squads and Orochimaru's calculation of their current locations.

Yinyue focused her attention on one of the names:

"Kakashi Hatake!"

Even Kakashi, now a direct descendant of the Hokage in the Anbu, is willing to be sent out as a pursuit ninja, Konoha has reached the point where there is no one left to use.

Yin Yue carefully put away the scroll, then sucked it into the spatial scroll. Looking at the respectful Kimimaro before her, she said, "Tell me about yourself."

Kimimaro replied:

"As the master said, until you complete the first step of the plan with the master, I will become a weapon in your hands, at your disposal."

Please believe me.

My abilities will not let you down.

This is also why Kimimaro instantly killed Shirou, revealing his strength and the Shikotsumyaku.

"I felt his sincerity."

Yin Yue shifted his gaze from Kimimaro, looking up at the full moon hanging in the sky, and pondered the problem.

Orochimaru's willingness to send the young Kimimaro to his side speaks volumes about the other party's attitude.

Before Kimimaro fell seriously ill, he was Orochimaru's first vessel for reincarnation.

As for Yin Yue and Orochimaru's plan, it was naturally the "Konoha Crush Plan," but it was a concept that he proposed first.

Yinyue's dark eyes reflected the full moon in the night sky, his thoughts a jumble of emotions.

Upon arriving in this world, the first thing he did was to find Orochimaru's mole in Konoha and make contact with him.

The two met.

Yin Yue briefly described to Orochimaru the "Konoha Crush Plan" that Orochimaru had painstakingly researched and the "Uchiha Team's Defection from Konoha Plan" that he had personally planned.

After hearing the first plan, Orochimaru agreed to cooperate with Yinyue.

For Orochimaru at this stage, there's no reason not to support an Uchiha who wants to defect from Konoha.

Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, witnessed Itachi Uchiha complete the impossible shuriken training with his Sharingan.

I have witnessed the power of the Sharingan.

Orochimaru, now a member of the Akatsuki, desperately desires this kind of eye technique, the bloodline limit.

Yin Yue made a promise to Orochimaru.

If he successfully defectes, he will be given three pairs of three-tomoe Sharingan.

The first step of their proposed "Konoha Collapse Plan" was for Yin Yue to lure Konoha's pursuers northwestward.

Head to the Valley of Sanctions, join forces with Orochimaru, and devour the elite troops dispatched by Konoha!
