Chapter 72: Escaped Danzo, but not me
Seeing that Shiba Qinghe and Xiaoyu were playing a riddle in tacit understanding, Xiaonan quickly reacted and asked.
"Is the person coming here someone you know, Qinghe? Should we avoid him first?"
Without much hesitation, Shiba Qinghe said, "Let's retreat first. Xiaoyu, can you not let them find us?"
He didn't plan to meet Uchiha Shisui right now, because Shiba Kiyokawa's identity had nothing in common with Uchiha Shisui, and if they really met, he would be in trouble.
He planned to go to Cat Country to meet Shisui after returning and find out what he wanted to do in Rain Country.
Go as Aizen.
"It's no problem, meow~ Xiaoyu's perception and lurking skills are among the best in the cat country~"
What a reliable cat!
Shiba Qinghe couldn't help but scratch Xiaoyu's chin, and the latter narrowed her eyes and showed a comfortable expression.
Then he stood up and quickly and silently jumped onto the branch on the other side.
Shiba Kiyokawa then led the other three to follow, closely following the route chosen by Xiaoyu.
They left quietly like that.
He came quietly and left quietly, without being noticed by anyone.
Not long after, Shiba Kiyokawa asked Xiaoyu to go to the Cat Village to leave a letter and make an appointment with Uchiha Shisui.
The reply came quickly, and that night he met the worried Uchiha Shisui in the Cat Village.
As soon as they met, Uchiha Shisui said with concern: "That's great, Aizen-kun, I'm glad you're okay! I've been wanting to see you lately!"
Shiba Qinghe was stunned. He didn't expect that Shisui's concern and dependence on him had reached such a deep level without him realizing it.
It seems that even after going to the battlefield, the situation of the Uchiha clan in the village has not improved.
Shisui was visibly lonelier than before.
That's why I am particularly attached to this close friend from a foreign country.
Shiba Kiyokawa lowered his head for a moment, adjusted his expression, and when he looked up again, his acting was natural, revealing just the right amount of bitterness and sadness.
"It seems that we have a tacit understanding, Shisui, I've been looking for you too. Recently, someone from your Konoha came to our Rain Country."
Uchiha Shisui's expression darkened and his voice became deeper.
"Yes, Aizen-kun, I know. Those people are from the root of Konoha.
I want to see you just to remind you of this, they...those people, you have to be careful!"
Shiba Qinghe stared at Uchiha Shisui for two seconds, carefully judging and confirming that this honest and silly boy would not have the intention to deliberately trap him.
So Shiba Kiyokawa skillfully put on a bitter expression and began his performance.
"It's too late for you to remind me, Shisui-kun. Those people in Konoha have already reached a cooperation with Hanzo-sama."
"What do they want to do?" Shisui really took the bait, his eyes instantly became sharp.
It seems that Shisui sneaked into the Rain Country during the day today with the purpose of investigating the movements of the roots.
This kid has finally grown up! Compared to the original novel, he has finally become more intelligent and learned to take the initiative to discover the truth.
It’s a pity that you escaped from Danzo but couldn’t escape from me.
"The Root of your Konoha intends to cooperate with Master Hanzo to eliminate the Akatsuki of our Rain Country in exchange for Master Hanzo's promise to help the Root leader eliminate his competitor for the election of Hokage in the future."
Shiba Qinghe's words instantly ignited Uchiha Shisui's emotions.
"What? Elder Danzo...he actually plans to join forces with outsiders to eliminate his fellow villagers?!"
In fact, whether Danzo has come to the Land of Rain and what specific cooperation he has with Hanzo are all guesses by Shiba Kiyokawa. But so what?
The point is that Uchiha Shisui believed it!
Then Shiba Kiyokawa sighed again pretending to be melancholy.
"Shisui-kun, I am really confused now. The Akatsuki organization gave me hope, vitality and the future!
They are really working hard for the Rain Kingdom and for the land under my feet!
I was born in the Land of Rain. I love this land and this country. I really agree with the philosophy of Akatsuki and want to do something for the Land of Rain.
But I can't betray Master Hanzo of the Salamander.
Shisui-kun, I am actually in a lot of pain."
These words hit Uchiha Shisui's heart hard!
Confused, painful, entangled, caught between two hostile forces, unable to make a decision, all these struggles perfectly hit Uchiha Shisui's current state of mind!
It made him feel the same instantly!
At this moment, in Shisui's eyes, Aizen-kun is simply another self in the world!
His eyes suddenly turned red, and the three-magatama Sharingan opened uncontrollably!
"Aizen-kun, I understand you!"
Uchiha Shisui almost choked as he said this.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa just shook his head slightly at him and gave a broken smile.
“Shisui-kun, don’t try to come to me again.
In the future, if, and I mean if, I am forced to become an enemy of Konoha, or die at the hands of Konoha ninjas, please do not resent the Rain Country, and do not blame those kids from the Akatsuki organization.
We just chose to die for our ideals, and we don’t regret our choice! ”
Afterwards, Shiba Kiyokawa deliberately said many words expressing his attachment to the Rain Country, subtly planting the image of Akatsuki as a just and innocent organization in Uchiha Shisui's mind!
Until that moment, Uchiha Shisui's emotions completely exploded.
"That's enough, Aizen-kun, stop talking! I will save you!
I will find a way to stop Elder Danzo's ambition!
Believe me, I will save you!"
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa clearly saw that in Uchiha Shisui's pupils, the three magatama were spinning rapidly, and there were faint signs that they were connecting into a complete pattern.
Oh no, in this world line, could it be that I am the one who causes Uchiha Shisui to open his eyes?
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly thought with some regret: It's a pity that the Rain Country is still too far away from Konoha.
Otherwise, choose a sunny morning and let Uchiha Shisui open the door in the morning to see his own body nailed to the outer wall of the Hokage Building by a long knife, and blood will be like a hanging painting, leaving long trails.
That must be a picture very suitable for kaleidoscope eyes.
But even without such a scene, the current stimulation is actually enough.
"Are you really willing to help me?" Shiba Qinghe asked softly, his expression full of disbelief.
Uchiha Shisui gritted his teeth, closed his eyes once, and finally, as if he was betting on some kind of resolute belief, he spoke with difficulty but seriously.
"Yes, Aizen-kun, I understand your pain. This time, let me be your helper!"
Shiba Qinghe smiled, his smile was relaxed, but inexplicably revealed a bit of weirdness.
"Thank you very much, Shisui-kun. How about you first tell me what information you know about the Root?"
Uchiha Shisui had no idea that he had fallen into a trap.
He then revealed a lot of secret intelligence of the Root and a lot of information about Konoha.
The wheel of fate has spun around, and Shiba Kiyokawa has found an opportunity to break one of its axles!
And the next step is to wait for the right opportunity to appear and completely break the shackles of fate!
Fortunately, it’s not too late.
