But he does exist!
That beastly bastard is the culprit who caused all of this to happen.
In any case, he should no longer bear the Uchiha surname and continue to live in this world.
"I see."
The hoarse voice rang out, and Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Izumi smiled and said, "Get some rest. Tomorrow is your first ninja mission, so you'll need to get up early."
Sasuke nodded with his head down.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Sasuke, who had just finished breakfast and was heading out, caught a glimpse of two figures in the shadows.
Just as he was about to ignore them and leave, the two masked figures suddenly appeared in front of Sasuke, their eyes fixed on what was behind him.
In an instant, his hands, which he had deliberately kept in his pockets, tightened.
"Uchiha Izumi, I have a mission."
A scroll was handed over directly, and Izumi, who was behind Sasuke, accepted it without any apparent reaction.
After looking at it, he nodded.
"I see."
As is customary, they would teleport away at this point, as it would indicate that Izumi had accepted the mission.
But this time...
"Urgent mission! Register to leave the village at the entrance in fifteen minutes!"
Uchiha Izumi feigned doubt and asked, "So urgent? Do we still need to prepare ninja tools...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the other party replied directly: "Everything is ready. You just need to assemble. Obey orders, Uchiha Izumi!"
Quan smiled and nodded: "Understood!"
Seeing their target cooperate so readily, the two masked men vanished in an instant, but were clearly still in the vicinity.
At this moment, Sasuke, with his back to Izumi, was trying his best to control his emotions.
He knew very well that the other party had lost patience and was about to take action. Otherwise, they wouldn't have only given him fifteen minutes.
This is the root; they want to prevent the third generation from reacting.
The Third Hokage also wanted to test whether that person would reappear, but he would never be willing to provoke him at the cost of that. In this situation, Danzo's stance differed from his.
At this point, it would be too late to notify the third generation, and it would be seen as another test rather than an action.
Is there really no other way?
"Sasuke! Good luck on your first day as a ninja!"
A voice sounded from behind.
Sasuke turned around and smiled, "I'm not a child anymore, so you should keep up the good work, Izumi-neechan!"
The two waved and then turned around.
Their smiles were like the warm sun, but one was heartbroken, and the other was ready to die.
……
The fifteen-minute preparation time is practically nonexistent, as it takes nearly ten minutes to get from here to the village gate.
After Uchiha Izumi left the village, two Root members wearing masks came to greet her.
They subtly surrounded it from the left and right.
Then, without saying a word, the three of them headed north.
We took two breaks in between, and soon night fell.
The three were now within the territory of the Land of Hot Water, preparing to stop and rest once again.
They remained silent, keeping a close watch on Uchiha Izumi from the left and right, and then began their preparations.
However, in Uchiha Izumi's perception, there were more than a dozen chakra beings not far away, who had been following her all the way and were obviously also members of Root.
Such a number meant they could actually attack him at any moment, but according to the Sharingan's perception, those beings did not surround him.
After thinking for a moment, Izumi looked at the guys on her left: "What...are you waiting for?"
Terai, wearing a mask, looked over and said, "You're very smart. Since you're smart, don't ask too many questions."
Uchiha Izumi frowned: "If I hide what Danzo wants, you'll be in a lot of trouble, won't you?"
After a moment of silence, Terai said in a deep voice, "You have many weaknesses... your mother, and that Uchiha brat, these are your weaknesses."
"You've said too much!"
The voice of the masked Root rang out from the right, and then all three fell silent.
No one cares about a dying person.
As for what they were destined to obtain, they weren't worried about not getting it. Just as mentioned earlier, this woman had too many weaknesses.
The night passed in silence.
The next day, they continued their journey in silence. By the time it got dark again, the three of them had reached the border of the Frost Kingdom.
This time, according to Uchiha Izumi's perception, those who had followed her all the way had finally made a move.
But it doesn't seem to be targeting just me, so who else might be coming?
Just as doubt arose, several figures appeared in the distant woods.
"I can't believe such a thing actually exists."
"It's such a hassle to have me do this just to kill a woman."
A man and a woman, both wearing headbands from the Hidden Cloud Village.
Samoi looked at the three Konoha ninjas in front of him, while Darui next to him looked like he hadn't woken up yet.
The Root ninja stepped forward and said, "According to the agreement, you can take one of her Sharingan eyes. Let's do it."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Samoi scoffed, "That's just like Konoha's style... It was the same nine years ago, and it's the same this time."
Terai from the Root unit frowned: "Don't provoke them..."
At that moment, a figure stood on a large tree nearby, looking down at the trees: "Provocation? I think Konoha can withstand provocation now. If you dared to fight, we would have already started fighting nine years ago."
Both of them looked over at the same time.
"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii!"
Terai's eyes narrowed slightly beneath the mask: "If you have other plans, I advise you to abandon them!"
Suddenly, figures flickered in the shadows of the forest; they were a dozen or so Root ninjas who had followed them.
As a result, the two sides were locked in a standoff.
At this moment, Izumi also guessed Root's plan.
Even four years later, Danzo, who had lost an arm in a single encounter, still feared that person.
Nine three-tomoe Sharingan eyes are important, but if that person reappears, the Root will not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, he wanted to die at the hands of the Hidden Cloud Village, while also using his mother and Sasuke to threaten him into handing over the nine eyes.
……
The standoff did not last long.
After both sides restrained themselves slightly, Terai of Root looked at Izumi Uchiha.
"The situation is now clear. Next, you need to hand over the items to us."
Another root also spoke up: "You know very well the cost of refusal. Hand it over, and then die according to your fate. That is your best choice."
Quan raised his head slightly, and his eyes had already formed the three-tomoe Sharingan.
"My fate... was it a fate that I should have died four years ago?"
Izumi smiled and said, "Danzo is still afraid, isn't he? Afraid that lord will suddenly appear, which is why he sent the people of Kumogakure to kill me."
"No... what he's afraid of is that lord reappearing someday in the future, so that you can blame my death on Yunyin."
These words made the three Cloud Village members on the other side frown.
Darui looked up at the large tree beside him: "Lord Yukito, have we been tricked by them?"
Samui said in a deep voice, "Kumakuya never fears any challenge!"
"Shh!"
The wooden figure leaped down and landed steadily in the middle of the group.
"The only people left in the Uchiha clan who could make Danzo fear them, besides women and children, should be Itachi Uchiha, who wiped out the entire clan. He alone is no match for Kumogakure."
Before Izumi could say anything, Terai interrupted him.
"Don't even think about causing us trouble before you die. You only have five seconds to decide. If you don't hand over the item, Uchiha Sasuke and your mother will be dealt with..."
The calm voice was filled with threat.
Uchiha Izumi's clenched hands suddenly relaxed, and she took out a sealing scroll, which she then threw over.
Another Root member reached out and took it, handing it directly to the support who came out from behind.
Ten seconds later, the Root ninja who reappeared nodded and then disappeared from the spot again.
The three members of the Cloud Village observed all the actions but showed no intention of seizing the items.
"Very good, you can get started now."
Terai and another Root member exchanged a glance, then simultaneously stepped back.
Across from him, Yugito sighed as he watched all this: "Only four Uchiha clans survived in the entire ninja world, one of whom was a woman who changed her surname after marrying into the village. Only three true Uchiha remain, yet they are still not accepted by the village..."
