Chapter 180: How Can the Dragon Rider Lose?
Chapter 180: How Can the Dragon Rider Lose?
In the Warring States era, although Hei Jue was more concerned with the incarnations of Indra, Uchiha Madara, and Ashura, Senju Hashirama, he still had some understanding of Huyi Xuanyue, who was renowned alongside them.
Huyi Xuanyue was someone who had done his fair share of upholding justice and punishing evil.
However, after living for so many years, how could he not realize that compared to Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, who were dedicated to bringing peace to the ninja world and were willing to sacrifice everything, Huyi Xuanyue did not possess the same sense of mission and responsibility?
Fundamentally, this person lived in his own world and did not want to be disturbed by others.
Just like at this moment.
After reading about the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, Huyi Xuanyue's attention was more focused on the aspect of being the only one awake while everyone else in the world dreamed, rather than enthusiastically envisioning a peaceful ninja world like Uchiha Madara.
If Huyi Xuanyue had also expressed excitement about finally seeing a path to the long-awaited peace, Hei Jue would have found it strange and might have even become cautious.
However, since Huyi Xuanyue said something that fit his character, Hei Jue did not suspect anything.
Under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, whether it was the peace of the ninja world or being the lone awakened one, Hei Jue did not care.
He would let them do as they pleased.
After all, once the Moon Eye Plan, also known as the Infinite Tsukuyomi, succeeded, all their ideals would amount to nothing, and the ultimate outcome would only serve to benefit his mother.
Watching Huyi Xuanyue standing in front of the Uchiha Clan's monument without moving for a long time, Hei Jue smiled and slowly sank into the ground.
The fish had taken the bait.
He was in no hurry to make use of this fish, as Uchiha Obito was currently doing a decent job.
Perhaps one day when the plan stalled, he would give Huyi Xuanyue a nudge in the right direction.
Or perhaps, Huyi Xuanyue would discover the clues on his own and take action.
That would likely lead to a conflict with the Akatsuki.
But after some thought, Hei Jue still didn't consider it a big deal.
It was like cultivating a swarm of poisonous insects; although they would suffer considerable losses due to infighting, in the end, a powerful king insect would emerge.
However, no matter how powerful the king insect became, the only one who benefited in the end would be the cultivator.
The Akatsuki, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara working behind the scenes, and now a new member, Huyi Xuanyue—Hei Jue truly held all the cards.
He really couldn't fathom how he could lose.
"Mother, please be patient and wait a little longer. I will rescue you soon."
With the anticipation of a future mother-and-child reunion, Hei Jue took one last look at Huyi Xuanyue before leaving completely.
Although Huyi Xuanyue did not detect Hei Jue's presence, he still sensed the subtle changes in the atmosphere in the underground room at a certain moment, even though he was conscious.
He did not make a fuss but continued to stand in front of the Uchiha Clan's monument, playing his part, while thinking to himself:
'The whereabouts of the Jinchuriki are top secrets in the major ninja villages, and it is difficult for outsiders to obtain such information, even for the Locking Anterior Village. In this regard, the Akatsuki are quite useful. After all, everyone has their specialty, and they have been investigating the tailed beasts for so many years. With the addition of the White Zetsu as an intelligence-gathering tool, they were able to accurately capture the Jinchuriki one by one, just like in the original story.'
The ninja world was vast.
For Huyi Xuanyue, defeating the Jinchuriki was easy, but finding them was a time-consuming and laborious task.
In this regard, he could afford to wait for the Akatsuki to capture all the tailed beasts before stepping in to reap the benefits.
If pushed to desperation, the other party might even force the creation of an imperfect Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails.
Therefore, it was most reassuring to have control of the tailed beasts and the Rinnegan.
In the following days, Yuyi Xuanyue contemplated many subsequent matters.
He didn't know when Hei Jue had left, but when he sensed the arrival of the Uchiha ninja above, he snapped back to attention. He had come to the Uchiha Clan Monument in the Southern Hideout Shrine to observe, and now that one of Black Quirk's major objectives had been accomplished, it was time to fulfill the other.
Yuyi Xuanyue exited the underground chamber and returned to the main hall.
All the Uchiha ninjas, including Sasuke, were already there. Seeing Yuyi Xuanyue emerge from the underground room, they didn't ask any further questions but merely gave a slight bow.
Understanding Sasuke and the others' feelings at this moment, Yuyi Xuanyue didn't waste any words. His figure flashed, leaving the stage to the person involved.
At this moment, the dusty hall was very quiet.
Sasuke and the others closed their eyes.
Silently, they waited for that man.
Uchiha Itachi!
Ding, ding, ding~~~
The familiar wind chime rang out at the gates of Konoha.
Uchiha Itachi arrived as promised.
Accompanying him was his teammate, Kisame Hoshigaki.
When Kisame first became Itachi's teammate, it was with the purpose of monitoring him, and their relationship could only be described as average.
However, after partnering for so long, Kisame actually had a deep respect for Itachi in his heart.
Upon learning that Itachi would be having his final battle with his little brother, Kisame did not leave on his own. Instead, he handed over the Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails to White Quirk and then accompanied Itachi as usual.
This time, he had no intention of monitoring.
He was merely seeing his friend off, nothing more.
Soon, the crisp sound of the wind chime reached the ears of those inside the gates.
Kamizuki Izumo and Kotetsu Hagane were guarding the gate diligently.
Uchiha Itachi glanced at them.
Knowing that this was an illusion, he ignored their inquiries and walked through the gate, heading towards the Southern Hideout Shrine.
Kisame followed closely beside Uchiha Itachi.
As they drew nearer to a cluster of dilapidated buildings that used to be the Uchiha clan's territory, Kisame turned to look at Itachi, curious about what he was thinking at this moment.
However, Uchiha Itachi remained expressionless from start to finish, giving no response.
Passing through the ruins, the two arrived at the collapsed red torii gate.
Uchiha Itachi looked up at the steps leading upwards and at the end, where the main hall of the Southern Hideout Shrine still retained a hint of dignity despite its dilapidated state. He turned to Kisame and said, "You can leave me here."
Kisame stopped and looked at Uchiha Itachi, "There are quite a few people upstairs. Are you sure you don't need me to get rid of any unwanted company for you?"
"Those people are not unwanted company."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head slightly and then began climbing the steps, one step at a time, towards the main hall.
Kisame didn't follow but watched as Uchiha Itachi's figure gradually disappeared from his field of vision.
As the regular meeting place of the Uchiha clan, the main hall of the Southern Hideout Shrine was quite large.
When Uchiha Itachi crossed the long staircase and reached the front of the hall, he placed his hands on the dusty and decaying doors and pushed them open. In that instant, the blood-red light of numerous Sharingan eyes, filled with hatred and killing intent, shone on the newcomer.
"Uchiha Itachi!!!'
