Chapter 420: The Byakugan Wolf!
Chapter 420: The Byakugan Wolf!
Whoosh!
The air began to distort.
A figure clad in a crimson-clouded black robe appeared high above the valley where the remnants of the Leaf forces were located.
Not far away, a hidden sentry post was specifically set up nearby.
However, the figure was positioned at a blind spot, making it seem eerily mysterious.
"Lord Dan, both targets have been located. Which one should we visit first?"
A pitcher plant emerged from the ground beside this figure and reported.
Indeed, it was Zetsu.
With his incredibly powerful reconnaissance abilities, he was the most suitable for such a task.
"Is that so... Let's pay a 'visit' to the Hokage's son first!"
As the figure in the crimson-clouded black robe with a tiger-striped mask spoke, he vanished from the spot with Zetsu.
Command Cave!
This place was also used by Sarutobi Shinzo as a resting area.
In this escape, he naturally wouldn't put on any 'Hokage's son' airs; having a place to rest was already more than enough.
After being chased over such a long distance, it was only natural that he would be exhausted, and now he was sleeping soundly.
At the same time, he wasn't worried about his safety.
Setting aside the Leaf ninjas guarding outside, he had set up numerous traps in front of the cave himself.
One could say that Sarutobi Shinzo had been cautious enough, but unfortunately, he didn't know about a certain ability called 'spatial manipulation.'
Whoosh! A blood-red, one-eyed figure emerged from the cave wall and slowly extended his right hand towards the figure on the stone bed.
Just as his right hand was about to touch the target...
"Who's there!"
As the startled exclamation sounded, Sarutobi Shinzo, who had been in a deep slumber, sprang into action. His right hand, holding a kunai, thrust towards the black shadow's head.
However, what happened next was beyond his belief.
He found that the kunai in his hand had passed through the other person's head as if the black shadow didn't exist.
"Impossible!" he muttered to himself, and at the same time, he saw the other person's blood-red, single eye, and instantly exclaimed in shock, "Uchiha!"
He truly hadn't expected that the one who had ambushed him would be an Uchiha.
Although they had been causing trouble in the village recently, he didn't think they would go as far as assassinating him.
Slap!
As his right hand grazed the other person's head, it was immediately grabbed by the wrist.
Puff!
At the same time, the other hand snatched the kunai and stabbed it into Sarutobi Shinzo's chest, piercing his heart.
"You..."
Looking down at his chest, Sarutobi Shinzo couldn't comprehend what was happening.
"Little brat, in front of the Uchiha's eyes, your resistance is meaningless!"
In the aged voice, a terrifying suction force reached Shinzo, as if it would tear him apart.
At this moment, he had no strength to resist, and the only hand he could move, his left hand, was shaking behind his back.
In the end, Sarutobi Shinzo was sucked into the black shadow's body.
At this moment, the 'curtain' of black shadows at the cave entrance gathered and formed into Zetsu's figure.
"Let's go!"
The black shadow, the Byakugan Wolf, glanced at the stone bed and then left with Zetsu.
As an Uchiha, his observational skills were naturally not weak.
Even in such dim light, he could see the other person's last small movement before being sucked into the Divine Might Space.
But even after discovering it, he had no intention of paying attention to it.
The reason was simple; this small movement perfectly aligned with his intentions.
A name written in blood.
Uchiha!
Indeed, the other person's last action before dying was to leave this.
One could say that the Byakugan Wolf was completely satisfied with this result; he had no time to destroy it, let alone protect it.
And next, it was time for another target.
A 'familiar' face he had seen a few times.
Uchiha Dohei!
He didn't take this person seriously at all.
If it were an open battle with known intelligence, he might not dare claim certain victory, but in this case, where his information was hidden, and he knew the other person's information in advance, he was certain that the final victor could only be himself.
With Heketsu blocking the sound, the commotion here wouldn't be noticed immediately.
But the thick, bloody smell wouldn't go unnoticed for long, so the Byakugan Wolf had to act quickly.
As for why he killed Sarutobi Shinzo first, it was a matter of 'easy before difficult.' This way, he could at least break even, and if it were 'difficult before easy,' any mishap could result in losing everything.
In the quiet, pitch-black night, inside the treehouse, Dohei slept soundly, as if immersed in a deep dream.
Wu!
The space began to distort, and a figure appeared by the bed.
This time, the dark shadow reached out without hesitation and grabbed the sleeping Lord Tang Ping.
For this was no ordinary elite Jonin like Sarutobi Shinzo, but the renowned 'Purification Flame', whose prowess was renowned even among the Shadow Level Powerhouses.
Facing such a target, even with his confidence in his Byakugan, White Flame Robe dared not be the slightest bit careless.
Slap! His right hand made contact with the target's body.
'Got you!'
White Flame Robe's heart filled with joy.
He hadn't expected it to be so easy to capture his opponent.
Once he pulled someone into his Divine Might Space, no matter how strong they were, they would be like meat on a chopping board, at his mercy.
The air began to distort! This was a sign of Divine Might activating.
However, White Flame Robe, or Obito, was startled.
He realized that Lord Tang Ping had escaped from his grasp and was now at a distance after a quick roll.
He had grabbed his opponent, so it was impossible for them to escape, in theory.
Moreover, he was well aware of his opponent's abilities, so he had a pair of gloves that ensured he wouldn't be quickly reduced to ashes by the flames.
But, to his surprise, his opponent didn't counter with flames! Instead, they used a method he didn't understand to break free from his control.
"No matter how many times, you won't escape!"
Obito spoke in a voice similar to Dan Lord's, aged and confident.
Although Lord Tang Ping had fought the Daimyo Coalition forces alongside the 'Shell Organization' less than half a year ago, he, Obito, had never personally encountered them.
"Who are you!"
Lord Tang Ping gave himself a perfect score for his performance, unafraid of appearing arrogant.
His expression and voice perfectly conveyed the state of encountering a powerful enemy for the first time.
It could be said that with his current acting skills, if he could truly travel back in time, he would be a 'Best Actor' caliber performer.
"You little brat, you're not worthy of knowing my name!"
Obito, disguised as Dan Lord, exuded arrogance. If it weren't for already knowing the truth, he might have been intimidated.
In reality, Obito was extremely uneasy.
He couldn't fathom how Lord Tang Ping had escaped his grasp.
In fact, he had controlled him very firmly.
But Lord Tang Ping had momentarily entered an 'Elemental Transformation' state, breaking free from his control and returning to normal.
The process was so swift, and as no one knew the effects of this technique, Obito was left perplexed.
He was aware of Water Transformation, but he had never imagined that someone could develop an 'Elemental Transformation' ability on top of it, a truly heaven-defying capability.
It could be said that in the Shinobi World, imagination was more important than strength.
Even the most elite warriors, if their imagination was limited, could only achieve so much.
But with unbounded imagination, anything was possible.
After all, the Shinobi World had 'Chakra', an almost universal energy, where the only limit was one's imagination.
"You... you're an Uchiha!"
Lord Tang Ping looked at Obito with a look of 'realization' as he noticed the blood-red Sharingan in his right eye, guessing his identity.
"That's right!"
Hearing Lord Tang Ping's 'guess', Obito dropped the pretense and revealed his identity.
Pinning the blame on the Uchiha Clan was good news for him.
Family!
They were also his targets for revenge.
His goal was to create a new world with Rin, and the old world was destined to be discarded and hated.
Hearing him deliberately shift the blame to the Uchiha, Lord Tang Ping's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with disdain.
If it were others who had wronged him, he could understand, but the Uchiha had been sincerely devoted to him, with no reason to resent them.
However, his repayment had been nothing but trouble... which was why Lord Tang Ping gave him the nickname 'White Flame Robe'.
It was a nickname that truly fit, a name that couldn't be wrong.
As he mused internally, Lord Tang Ping prepared to make his move.
But before he could act, he saw his opponent running away with a bucket.
Facing White Flame Robe's desire to leave, Lord Tang Ping had no choice but to let him go. Unless Uchiha Yai was present, defeating him would be easy, but if he wanted to leave, there was nothing he could do.
Soon, he understood why his opponent had left.
