Chapter 298 - – 294 Sasuke In Peril!
Hearing the unknown name, Itachi frowned, "Uchiha Tsukihi?"
This is the first time he has heard this name, so Itachi was a bit confused as to who is this Kunoichi referring to, but after a bit of thinking, Itachi also wondered if she is talking about Ho-san?
But this was only momentary speculation, and Itachi was not even sure.
At this time, Uchiha Sasuke who was unconscious, also regained his consciousness, the first person he looked at was Itachi, and realizing the peril he was in, Sasuke cried, "Nii-san, h-help me!"
Even if Itachi had put up a calm face, he was still anxious about Sasuke, and Sasuke\'s cry for help only made him more restless, he seemed to be in a desperate situation, and the tomoes in his Sharingan were spinning faster and faster.
Oto Yumie smirked at Itachi\'s helplessness.
She did not stop Sasuke\'s cries, for her, the more this Uchiha Brat cries for help the more panicked Uchiha Itachi will become, making him prone to accepting any and all conditions to ensure the safety of his \'dearest\' Otouto..
And she can feel that this approach is working pretty well as even with the mask of that calm face, there was deep restlessness hidden within.
Shinno folded both of his arms over his chest and calmly watched the situation unfold, he was like a spectator, he did not care about the end result, but he was indeed looking forward to the choice that Uchiha Itachi will make.
It did not take Itachi very long to think, and after weighing out things a little he shook his head and said, "I am sorry, I do not know of any Uchiha Tsukihi, as long as you let go of Sasuke, I am willing to follow you without any resistance."
Oto Yumie was already aware of the importance of Sasuke for Itachi, and taking out a Kunai, she pressed it over Sasuke\'s neck, and said, "I have changed my mind, now I want both you and Uchiha Tsukihi."
With his eyes fixed on the blade of the Kunai that rested over Sasuke\'s throat, Itachi\'s chakra fluctuation started to become erratic and violent.
Oto Yumie\'s heart shuddered after sensing those chakra fluctuations, but she still had a smile on her face, "Calm down Uchiha Itachi, or would you rather want your dearest Otouto to die here?" – as she said that, Oto Yumie, put some strengthened in her hand, as a result, the blade of her Kunai which touched Sasuke\'s skin start to cut through it.
Resulting in traces of red blood flowing out of the cut.
Saying that Sasuke was scared would be an understatement, he was literally horrified by what was happening to him, tears rolled down his eyes, he had a pitiful look.
But being the person that he is, Sasuke tried his best to suppress his wailings due to several reasons.
First is that he understood the situation to some extent, if Itachi gave away information about this \'Uchiha Tsukihi\' that these two want then that would be a betrayal to the Clan and the village. But if Itachi did not give away that information, then there is a possibility that he will die tonight.
If Itachi were to sacrifice himself for the sake of his Otouto, then Sasuke would not be able to bear that, but if Itachi does not sacrifice himself for the sake of his Otouto, then Itachi would not be able to bear that.
And last, of all, Sasuke understood that Uchiha must never cry, so if someone saw him crying then he would be looked down upon by them.
But he is still a child, and the fear still acted upon him, causing slight drops of tears to roll down his cheek.
Itachi tried his best to pass a reassuring smile, and said softly, "Do not be afraid Sasuke, I will definitely save you!"
Sasuke could not nod because if he did then the blade of Kunai would cut a deeper wound, but his eyes became firm after he heard Itachi\'s words, and he gritted his teeth to bear the worst because he had faith that Nii-san would definitely save him.
"My… what a touching brotherhood bond we have here!" – mocked Oto Yumie as she licked her lips, and continued, "But Uchiha Itachi are you really sure you can save your Otouto? My patience is limited, and I want your answer now, I want information on Uchiha Tsukihi!"
Itachi stared at Oto Yumie coldly, "I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY UCHIHA TSUKIHI! There is no one in the Uchiha Clan with this name, you can verify this information through all your means, but it won\'t change anything, if someone does not exist then they do not exist…!"
Oto Yumie\'s expression darkened.
Shimura Danzo said to Orochimaru that the Uchiha Clan does not have anyone with the name \'Uchiha Tsukihi\'\' and now that Itachi has also said so, then it\'s possible that \'Tsukihi\' is a pseudonym or a fake name.
Thinking so, Oto Yumie described the physical feature of \'Tsukihi\' as well as some of her abilities, and then asked again, "Now answer me!"
\'She is really after Ho-san!\' - Was Itachi\'s thought, but even if he understood this, Itachi still shook his head, "No one in the clan matches this description."
And what Itachi said is not a lie… There is really no one within Uchiha Clan in Konoha who matches the description.
This was the moment Oto Yumie\' was out of patience, and said coldly, "If you want your otouto back, you will bring Uchiha Tsukihi to me."
After dropping these words, Oto Yumie did not wait for Itachi\'s reply, and just disappeared from her position along with Sasuke.
Itachi looked at Shinno for a second and seeing that he has no plans to act, Itachi ignored him and jumped forward to pursue the Kunoichi.
When Itachi passed by him, Shinno noticed the merging pattern in Itachi\'s eyes, at a glance it seemed to form the shape of three spiraling curves around the pupil, and an eerie aura was oozing off of Itachi\'s body along with palatable chakra fluctuations.
\'It seems Orochimaru is going to be in big trouble…\' – Such an idea took birth in Shinno\'s mind.
Shaking his head, Shinno soon let go of this thought, for one, Orochimaru is a Sannin, and you know what that means, and secondly, Shinno doesn\'t care in the slightest at what happens to Orochimaru, the savvy snake could die for all he cares.
With that out of the way, Shinno closed his eyes and tried to perceive the thing for which he came to Konoha.
After a while, Shinno opened his eyes and turned his head in the direction of the Hyuga Clan.
"Is she there?" – muttered Shinno.
There are only two reasons why he sneaked into Konoha this time, the first is to repay Orochimaru\'s favor, and the second is to find the daughter of Miko and devour her. This is the most important part.
After becoming the Jinchuriki of Moryo, Shinno has obtained a lot of knowledge, and he has also learned that Miko and Moryo are two halves of the same being. Which made him understand that as long as he swallows the power of both, Moryo and Miko, he would gain the powers of both Miko and Moryo, as a result transcending into a greater being, perhaps even superior to Pain who has the eyes of Rikudo Sennin.
But when he reached the Land of Demon and broke into the Palace of Miko, he found out that Miko had already passed on her powers to her daughter, and sent her away, and also placed some kind of Miko specific Fuinjutsu on her daughter which hindered Shinno\'s perception of Shion.
Well, after that Miko was killed by them, and with her death, the sealing technique she placed on her daughter also started to disappear. As a result, Shinno was able to perceive the approximate location of Shion.
Looking in the direction in which he perceived Shion\'s position, Shinno did not delay any longer and hurried over.
He did not tell about his objective to anyone in the Akatsuki, so he wants to swallow Miko\'s daughter as early as he can without alerting anyone.
