Uchiha Sasuke dragged his tired body out of the ANBU building.
He was arrested for no apparent reason last night and was interrogated by ANBU for a whole night.
"Trespassing to the ANBU building..."
Sasuke felt extremely angry when he thought of the charges the ANBU had accused him of.
Before this, he didn't even know where the ANBU building was!
"These incompetent guys in the village let that bastard Itachi escape and then framed me. It's really abominable!"
Inside the ANBU building.
The two ANBU stood in front of the window, watching Sasuke gradually leave.
The ANBU wearing a hawk mask hesitated for a moment and asked: "If we let him go now, is there really no problem?"
The ANBU in the dog-face mask replied calmly: "He must have been framed."
By investigating whether there were injuries, whether there were time witnesses, etc., ANBU had screened all the suspects last night.
When Sasuke was arrested, he was holding the intruder's mask, but this was not enough to serve as irrefutable evidence.
"Who could have done it?"
"It's hard to say!" After a pause, the dog-faced ANBU continued: "The root that exploded with the detonating talisman outside Sunagakure's residence last night is said to have been sent by Danzo-sama to monitor Uchiha Shinji."
The ANBU in the eagle-faced mask was startled for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Someone is targeting the survivors of the Uchiha clan?"
"Well, the above judgment is also the same. Overnight, Uchiha Sasuke was framed, and someone who monitored Uchiha Shinji was assassinated. The other party did not hide his purpose, just to see if we Konoha trusts the survivors of the Uchiha clan.
.”
The dark part of the dog-face mask actually doesn’t tell the whole story.
He suspected that the other party's real purpose was to find out the truth behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, the most powerful family in Konoha!
The ANBU in the hawk-faced mask was also a smart man. He quickly realized this and became angry: "That's too much. What do they think of our Konoha Village!"
The ANBU with the dog face mask sighed.
The village has not yet completely emerged from the haze of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and now it has lost dozens of powerful pupil ninjas from the Uchiha clan.
On the surface, Konoha is still the leader of the five great ninja villages.
But in fact, only his family members know that Konoha is very weak now.
This is also the reason why there were a series of unexpected incidents last night, but the superiors did not order the termination of the fireworks festival, because the more times like this, the more important it is to show that the scene is controlled.
...
Ninja school.
"What, you want to leave the village?"
Iruka was surprised when he heard Shinji's request.
Shinji nodded: "Well, I want to take advantage of the ninja school vacation to go to the land of cats and contract a ninja cat."
"To the land of cats?"
Iruka thought about it.
The Land of Cats is not far from Konoha, and it often issues some tasks to Konoha. It is a close force that has a cooperative relationship with Konoha.
Thinking of the special relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Land of Cats, he looked at his schedule and said, "Well, let's go like this. I'll go with you the day after tomorrow."
Shinji knew that this was Iruka's good intention, but he still shook his head and refused: "Iruka-sensei, I can do it myself!"
After Shinji's repeated insistence, Iruka finally agreed to his request and issued him a temporary pass out of the village.
After getting the temporary pass, Shinji immediately returned to his apartment, packed his bags and set off.
Last night, I spent a lot of time looking for witnesses.
But after all, the root ninja who was monitoring him died inexplicably. No one can say whether Danzo will take advantage of this situation.
So he left the village this time not only to prepare for the next step of seizing Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan, but also to test Danzo to see if the other party would attack him because of the death of the root ninja.
If you stay in the village.
Once Danzo attacks, he can either surrender and put his life in his opponent's hands, or he can only fight and resign himself to fate.
And if you are outside the village.
Even if Danzo launched an attack against an eight-year-old ninja school student, it was unlikely that he would send out jounin-level ninjas to chase him down.
So even in the worst case scenario, Shinji still has the option to first deal with the killers sent by Danzo and then defect.
With such considerations in mind, he acted very quickly and arrived at the village gate in a short time.
call...
After letting out a breath and calming down his mind, Shinji walked towards the checkpoint at the door.
If Danzo wants to take action against him, this is the best place.
However, when he showed his temporary pass to the ninja school, the ninja at the checkpoint simply questioned him and let him go.
"It came out so easily?"
He couldn't believe it until he left the village gate.
Many of the countermeasures he had thought up were of no use. A temporary pass he asked from Iruka solved everything.
"Does Danzo want to quietly kill me outside the village?"
Shinji secretly became vigilant.
Never overestimate Danzo's integrity, that guy has no such thing as integrity!
Then, he spread out a map and reconfirmed the route to the Land of Cats.
After putting away the map, he took a breath and secretly said: "Concentrate all!"
This trip has a lot of distance, and it’s just the right time to practice the ‘breathing technique’.
The development of the body by the 'breathing method' allows him to better control every power of the body.
In the world of Demon Slayer, the fragile body structure of ordinary people is destined to have an upper limit for practicing the 'breathing method'.
Even if you practice to the extreme and get the rumored 'markes', it is just an extreme squeeze on the body.
It is a forced improvement of the body at the expense of overdrafting life.
But the world of tolerance is different!
Because of the existence of chakra, various magical ninjutsu, secret techniques, and even blood inheritance limits, the physical strength of ninjas far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Therefore, for ninjas with chakra, the upper limit of the 'breathing method' is much higher than that of the swordsmen in Demon Slayer.
Bang...
With a muffled sound, Shinji's body rushed out in the direction of the Cat Country like an arrow from the string!
It would take an ordinary person three or four days to travel, but with him blessing the 'breathing method' and driving at full speed, he arrived at the Land of Cats in half a day.
And when he was walking on the streets of the Cat Country, all the ninja cats on both sides stopped and looked at him, focusing on the Uchiha Uchiha clan emblem on the back of his clothes.
The Uchiha clan has always been a partner of the Land of Cats.
From contracting ninja cats, to customizing ninja tools, and gathering information, there is a lot of cooperation between them.
Therefore, it should be a normal thing for Uchiha people to appear on the streets of the Cat Country.
But Shinji's appearance today was a bit unusual.
Because he is the first Uchiha tribesman to step into the land of cats after the Uchiha tribe was exterminated...
