Chapter 699 Payne

On the pitch-black sky, the moonlight has long disappeared, only black clouds filled the air, the roar of thunder is still heard endlessly, and the sound of rain is rapid and violent.

Letting the cold rain slap on his face, only two faint gasps remained on the ruined platform.

The aura belonging to the ferret was extremely weak, and the blade pierced through his chest, making his already seriously injured body worse, and his face was bloodless.

Located on the collapsed high wall, bursts of vortex ripples suddenly appeared in the air, and a figure flashed out of the air without any warning.

He was wearing a black raincoat, his right eye was blood red, and mysterious black patterns emerged.

"Is it finally over? The weather looks really bad."

After he said this, his body melted into the air again and disappeared without a trace.

Mud splashed in the ruins, forming criss-crossing canals, flowing wantonly.

This torrential rain seems to never stop, as if it is going to swallow the whole world.

"Hey, Itachi..."

Sasuke, who was lying on the ground, turned his head slightly at this time, looking at Itachi's muddy side face. After calming down, he found that his mood was not as happy and joyful as he imagined, and there was just a kind of emptiness and loneliness that he couldn't even explain.

This man was once the elder brother whom he admired.

is one of the most cherished people.

To this point, Sasuke suddenly didn't want to explore whether it was due to fate or some other reason.

But there are some things that he has to figure out.

Itachi just stared blankly at the dark scene that seemed to be crying, his breath was weak, and his life was like a candle in the wind, which might go out at any time.

Hearing Sasuke's voice, he didn't respond immediately, but still stared blankly at the sky.

"Why did you leave me alone when you attacked all the clansmen?"

Sasuke asked.

Itachi's previous answer did not convince him.

Moreover, the so-called need to use his eyes to reach a higher level was obviously a sudden decision made after being abandoned by Konoha.

No, maybe even this reason is part of his lie.

"Because of the transaction..."

Itachi barely suppressed the pain from the blade piercing through his chest.

"trade?"

"The high level of Konoha needs a chain to restrain my actions. As my only relative in this world, you are the best chain to restrain me. So after you left Konoha, my connection with them has been broken..."

This is an act of distrust.

However, Itachi was not surprised that Konoha would make such a move.

Becoming a rebellious self, no matter what the reason is, is not worthy of trust.

In the past, there was Sasuke as the chain to control him, but once there was a problem with Sasuke, the 'middleman' who connected their trust relationship, it would be a matter of time before the trust problem occurred.

After all, a person who is ruthless enough to attack even his own people, if there is no restraining chain, no one will use it with confidence.

He can destroy Uchiha for the peace of Konoha.

That can also be used for other reasons to attack Konoha.

He left Konoha with the feeling that he would not be trusted by anyone.

He had predicted his current fate many years ago.

For him, this is a script that has long been destined after he left Konoha.

"fraud."

Sasuke replied indifferently. Obviously, he still believes that Itachi did not tell the truth.

This man, from the very beginning, explained another lie with one lie.

The reason why he didn't kill himself at the beginning was definitely not because of the deal with Konoha's senior management.

Therefore, Sasuke's mood at this time is very complicated.

Hearing Sasuke's answer, Itachi's mouth twitched slightly, showing a hint of a smile, his eyes looking at the sky became more and more gloomy, and his life was passing by quickly.

"You have really become stronger, Sasuke, now you have completely surpassed me..."

Sasuke was silent.

He hated the man.

loves this man too.

He is his dearest brother.

is also the object of his revenge.

Feeling so depressed that I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

"In the beginning, I planned to use Zhishui's pupil technique to reverse your will and leave you a last retreat... because no matter what the truth is, a person cannot survive in this world alone. But since you have a new choice and know the truth, it is no longer appropriate for you to stay in Konoha..."

Itachi coughed lightly, and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"In the past, I wanted to change the world as Hokage, but I was so arrogant that I couldn't see anyone other than myself, so I haven't achieved anything until now..."

"To this day, I can still recall the scene when my father took me to the battlefield for the first time. Perhaps at that time, my whole life was dominated by that will..."

"In the end, I am the one who is bound by 'cognition'. So, forgive me, Sasuke, this is the last time...According to your own will...Live..."

Itachi looked at the tearful sky, his vision was already blurred and getting darker.

It was as if a cold tide engulfed his body, making him unable to move, and even the voice of speaking gradually became inaudible.

Sasuke stared blankly at the sky, expressionless.

Facing Itachi's death, he just fell silent without saying a word.

Then he closed his eyes tiredly.

What fell from the corners of his eyes was not just rain, but also tears, falling crystal clear.

Uncontrollable pain, sadness, depression, and emptiness rushed into his heart, making Sasuke feel suffocated like never before.

Although his eyes were closed tightly, the sudden hotness seemed to put his eyes on the stake for execution.

Pain, something wants to wake up from the depths of the eyes, flowing wantonly in the eyes.

Slowly, Sasuke's body returned to calm.

The burning sensation in the eyes also gradually subsided, and the closed eyes slowly opened.

The scenery in front of him was dyed bright red by his eyes.

The world is still the same, but Sasuke felt that he saw something completely different from before, and saw a brand new world.

The corners of his mouth slowly raised, and there was madness in his smile.

Between the heaven and the earth, there is only the sound of the torrential rain, which is still resounding.

And that creepy deep voice.

"Konoha..."

"It seems that the rain won't stop until the early morning..."

On the balcony on the second floor, Liuli, who was only wearing thin pajamas, looked up at the sky with dark pupils. The stars and the moon were not visible, and the dark clouds filled the air. The sudden torrential rain seemed to drown the entire city.

Thunder began to roar in the distant sky, and the electric light shining among the dark clouds in the distance could be faintly seen.

Baishi came from behind, wrapped his hands around Liuli's graceful and soft waist, followed her to look at the rainstorm outside, and expressed his own judgment.

Liuli didn't speak, but frowned, as if thinking about something.

He didn't care about Baishi's hands and feet on him.

"Why, seeing that you are frowning, are you worried about the situation in Lin Zhiguo?"

Although for this operation, he sent a lot of wandering witches to take care of Lin Zhiguo in advance, in order to avoid any irreparable accidents during the operation.

The so-called three armies are not moved, food and grass go first, Baishi has always liked to plan ahead.

What's more, the role of intelligence will not be less important than food.

Before every important war comes, he will focus on collecting intelligence to compare the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides in terms of military, economic, and political aspects.

Although this operation of Lin Zhiguo is not a war, he has also made various arrangements in advance, which is enough to deal with many unexpected situations.

"No, I'm not worried about the situation over there. I'm just worried that he will be completely dazzled by hatred in this battle. In that case, things will become more troublesome than it is now."

The 'he' here naturally refers to Sasuke, the avenger.

Although Liuli didn't intend to stop Sasuke's revenge, she was more worried about Sasuke's mental state after revenge than revenge.

The heart that has been suppressed for a long time suddenly gets a catharsis like a runaway, and maybe it will bring Sharingan closer. In such a change, it is easy to distort the psychology of the person involved, and evolve into an extremely vicious personality.

The 'curse' of Sharingan is not groundless.

Even if one obtains immortal art, there is no 100% guarantee of success to the extent that one can suppress it.

She doesn't want an excellent seedling to suddenly awaken a personality that runs amok and out of control.

That is a huge loss to the Oni Country and the Uchiha Clan.

Liuli's words made Shiraishi nod slightly. This situation is indeed possible.

It is possible that what one obtains after revenge is not relief, but the emergence of another extreme path.

Such personality transformations occurred many times during the Ninja World War.

The pressure accumulated in Sasuke's heart is unimaginable to ordinary people, and it has been accumulated since the most critical childhood.

It was not until now that I was able to vent.

Especially in the process of catharsis, this negative emotion will quickly expand and become the nourishment for the evolution of Sharingan...Under the double rampage, if the willpower of the person is not strong enough, what will happen will be difficult for outsiders to prevent.

"However, it's too late to stop now. Uchiha Itachi has long been determined to die, and the victory of the battle is doomed from the beginning. As for the next Konoha, it is the key..."

In this action called 'Revenge', Itachi is not the subject, but the Konoha executives who used to control Itachi's life behind the scenes.

Itachi is just a springboard for Sasuke to take revenge on Konoha's high-level.

The battle will not end with Itachi's death.

The real battle of revenge will start at the moment Itachi dies.

"Although I don't know the current Konoha and how much preservation power is left, Danzo is very troublesome. He has traded a lot of troublesome things from Orochimaru in the past, coupled with a style of behavior that doesn't care about the process at all... He may have prepared some 'hole cards' secretly, so he has become confident for a while."

Baishi chuckled lightly. From his tone, he didn't hear the meaning of fear. He just expressed this possible guess very calmly.

"Do you want to take this opportunity to test it out?"

Liuli understood Baishi's meaning and pondered slightly.

"If he can reach Danzo. But I guess, he doesn't have that ability to force Danzo to show up in person. Most of Konoha's fighting ninjas are gathered at the root, which symbolizes Konoha's most elite power. They all obey Danzo's command. They are completely different from those two consultants with little real power."

What's more, the roots are full of ninjas who practice secret and forbidden techniques. Although the quality is not comparable to the thorns group of the Ghost Kingdom military, the number is far beyond.

Its sharpness is no worse than that of Naruto directly under Anbu. Even if you count the traits of the root who are not afraid of death, the degree of trouble is even higher than that of Naruto directly under Anbu.

In the past ninja wars, root ninjas have launched suicide attacks more than once, causing huge troubles to enemy ninjas.

If it is just a few people, it is not terrible to have such a will. What is terrible is that the whole root is inheriting this kind of thinking, a group of real dead men.

They will use all means to kill their enemies, including but not limited to suicide.

Therefore, Shiraishi is looking forward to how far Sasuke can force Konoha.

The torrential rain continued.

In the forest, A Fei's figure kept jumping and jumping, and he was running back and forth in the rainforest.

The rain wet his whole body, his right arm disappeared, and it was bare, exposing white flesh and tissue, exposed to the air.

The strange thing is that there is no blood there, just a mass of white with a hollow in the middle, as if there is nothingness inside, without any internal organs.

He was panting heavily, looking very embarrassed.

Because he lost his right arm, he can't even use the wooden escape to connect the seal.

The most powerful means of attack and defense are restricted.

Now the only thing left is hiding and the power of a single kaleidoscope Sharingan.

However, just a single kaleidoscope Sharingan cannot get him out of the next predicament.

Although I really want to use hidden ninjutsu to sneak into the ground and leave, but sneaking into the soil, there is a feeling of being watched.

Not surprisingly, that should be Chiba Shiraishi's earth avatar, who also came here at this time.

Staring at himself all the time in the earth.

Fortunately, its ability is one of the best among the Baijue individuals. If it were the rest of the individuals, they would have been directly killed by the enemy in the soil.

In this operation, not only did he not get Itachi's eyes, but he also lost an arm, which is a big loss.

If he does it all over again, he will definitely stay away from Lin Zhiguo and will not step here.

I really don't know how the group of Bai Jue, who monitors the movement of the ghost country, is doing things. This place is almost surrounded by people from the ghost country, forming a situation of a network of heaven and earth. There is not even a single bubble over there, so it must have been solved by someone?

A Fei was thinking wildly while running forward quickly.

Loss of an arm would at best make him unable to seal and use Wooden Dungeon, but it did not affect his actions.

There was a swishing sound in my ears. Although the sound was very low in the rainstorm, Ah Fei still heard it clearly.

Thorn group.

You don't need to think about who is chasing and killing you.

This group of people is really like a dog skin plaster, sticking to their backs and unable to shake off.

Just when Ah Fei looked back, visually measuring the distance between himself and the pursuer, the moment he turned his head, his hair stood on end.

"Fire EscapeFire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

What came oncoming was an extremely huge flame dragon.

The moment the fire dragon jetted out from the operator's mouth, it galloped like a thunderbolt. Wherever it passed, all the trees were reduced to ashes, scratches and scorch marks were left on the ground, and even the rainwater that fell on the fire dragon evaporated in an instant.

Moreover, in the rain, the size of the fire dragon is reduced, which can be ignored.

Just by visual inspection, the length of this fire dragon is more than ten meters, like a terrifying monster tearing its claws, it comes with its teeth and claws.

The person who can use such a fire escape technique, A Fei knows without thinking, it must be the 'princess'.

Among the ninjas from the Ghost Kingdom chasing her, she is the only one who can use the B-level fire escape technique to such an exaggerated level.

Before the fire dragon reached his eyes, Ah Fei felt his body was hot and hot, and his throat seemed to flow into magma, making his throat dry.

Of course, he has no voice.

"Water Escape Water Shark Bullet Technique!"

A huge shark surged out from the front, its whole body was condensed by thick water, and it drove the heavy rain to kill the fire dragon.

Chichi!

The shark with condensed water was half-swallowed by the huge fire dragon after just one encounter, and the hot steam burst out and filled the forest.

The fire dragon's castration continued unabated, leaving a scorched black track tens of meters long on the ground. The trees and rainwater along the way disappeared without a trace.

Beside the scorched track, A Fei rolled in embarrassment. After stopping, he looked at the track in front of him that extended to the depths of the forest, feeling lingering in his heart.

"A Fei, it seems you need help."

A teasing voice came from behind.

The tall figure stood in the rain, and Guisame's face, hair, and clothes were all wet.

He grinned, looked at A Fei with a smile, and subconsciously touched the shark muscle on his back with his palm.

The torrential rain poured down like a torrent.

"Oh, at this time, I really helped you a lot, Senior Kisame."

Ah Fei heaved a sigh of relief, and stood up from the mud.

He didn't ask what was going on with Itachi. After taking precautions, it was impossible for Kisame to complete the task of capturing Itachi's eyes.

And judging from the traces on Kisame's body, he probably broke out after a fierce battle.

The footsteps near my ear got closer and closer, and then stopped.

On the trees, black shadows stood silently.

The leader was a young girl with long black hair in a black trench coat with a stand-up collar.

Her face was cold, crystal rainwater flowed on both sides of her cheeks, and then flowed down her fair neck into the chest.

Mouth slightly open, breathing lightly, red eyes are extremely conspicuous in the dark night, locked on Kisame and A Fei.

"Hmph, it looks like it will be a difficult battle."

Kisame slowly clenched the big sword shark muscles behind him, and his eyes aimed at A Fei's back intentionally or unintentionally.

In the next moment, when Kisame was about to twitch the big sword shark muscle, a cold voice without the slightest emotion came faintly from the depths of the dark forest:

"Shenluo Tianzheng!"

The voice is old and indifferent, but full of incomparably heavy sense of power.

The leaves are no longer rattling, the falling raindrops are solidified, and the space seems to be still at this moment.

Hearing this voice, Kisame subconsciously let go of the big sword shark muscle, and Ah Fei also heaved a sigh of relief.

Boom!

A strong repulsive force like a hurricane came suddenly, and the trees and ground where the thorn group stood were completely destroyed by this repulsive force.

A barren open space with a range of tens of meters was reclaimed in an instant, and no grass grew.

"Ahem!"

It was too late to deal with such a sneak attack, and the members of the Thorn team fell to pieces on the barren muddy ground, rolling in the mud, even on the armor, there were cracks visible to the naked eye.

Only Yiji stabbed the sword into the ground, stood firmly on the ground, frowned and looked towards the dark part of the forest, where a terrifying aura suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, the silver light of the knife flashed away in the rain.

The figure with long light yellow hair fluttered in the blink of an eye and landed in front of his eyes, and the sickle in his hand swung out like lightning.

Incomparably swift and violent slash.

Ding!

Yiji went straight up, her expression unchanged, and swung the Kusanagi sword in her hand, striking it.

Two huge chakras collided with each other through the weapons in their hands, like two ferocious beasts, making deafening roars, fighting together.

Kaka!

The earth is overwhelmed.

On the barren land under the feet, a pothole several meters in size appeared, and the hurricane was blown up, blowing away the surrounding rainwater and mud.

Yi Ji stared at the old man with long light yellow hair and wearing a gas mask, his eyes were emotionless, and the mysterious eyes of reincarnation were appearing in them.

The corners of his mouth parted unconsciously, revealing a smile of extreme excitement.

"Samsho...Hanzo!"

As she said that, the chakra on her body gushed out again like a torrent, and in an instant, it overwhelmed the aura of the old man with the tendency of crushing.

The cracks in the ground also continued to expand, extending in all directions.

"But... this level is far from enough."

Boom!

The powerful vibration instantly sent the old man flying.

Yiji played a sword flower on the spot, and the figure flew out like a gust of wind, catching up with a blink of an eye at a faster speed.

"Shenluo Tianzheng!"

The air twisted, and a powerful repulsive force was instantly compressed in the old man's other hand.

boom!

Yiji's figure froze in the air for a moment, then snorted coldly, and shook forward with his own flesh and blood, the repulsion force enough to tear steel easily, but he didn't even have the qualifications to shed scars on Yiji's body.

She directly bounced this repulsive force away with brute force.

Firmly clenched the Kusanagi sword in his hand, and swung it close.

The sickle blocked it.

Boom!

The body of the old man smashed into the ground, and the earth and rocks collapsed.

The sickle is full of cracks and is on the verge of cracking.

The Kusanagi sword that continued to press down cut into the old man's shoulder.

"Shenluo Tianzheng!"

boom!

A stronger repulsive force instantly acts on Kazuki's body than before.

Yiji's body couldn't help taking a few steps back, and then she used her body to remove this repulsive force from her body.

Looking away, the old man has stepped back and opened the distance.

He glanced at the sickle in his hand, which was on the verge of collapse, and it could no longer be used.

Then, the old man glanced at Yiji, and quickly put his hands together.

A palpitating chakra came out from the old man.

Yiji's eyes flickered, and her figure flew out, trying to interrupt the opponent's spell.

The old man, who had expected it for a long time, continued to retreat quickly, not giving her a chance to sneak attack. During the process of retreating, his palms were separated by a distance, and a small black ball the size of a finger appeared between the opposing palms.

"Go."

An old and cold voice came from the old man's mouth.

The black ball obeyed the command and flew towards the sky, blending with the dark sky without distinguishing each other.

"Earth Explosion Star!"
