Chapter 307 - – 303 I Want To Meet That Squad Leader
"Hehehe… It seems that these Golden Flames are really doing the wonder!" – giggled Tsukihi.
To be honest, she was a bit surprised as she didn\'t really expect that these Golden Flames would be so damaging to this corrosive chakra, and it seems that up until now she has seriously underestimated the power of these Golden Flames of Susanoo.
And since the effect is so good, so Tsukihi would obviously not stop. As such, she increased her effort and worked harder, spurring the Golden Flame with all her strength, as a result turning the entire abdominal cavity into a sea of Golden Fire.
And just as intended, soon the wailing and cry became weaker and weaker, and the movements of the body gradually stopped.
Seeing that Shinno was almost defeated, Tsukihi projected a chakra blade from her Susanoo and cut off one of Moryo\'s Dragon heads. Then she deactivated her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, dispersed the Susanoo, and finally jumped out of that stomach.
As soon as she came out, the first thing she did was to look at her surroundings, and she noticed that no one was present in the immediate vicinity which was a good thing.
Next, all the Stone Soldiers of the Ghost Army also seem to have crumbled and collapsed. At the same time, Moryo\'s gigantic figure started disappearing, and along with it the Golden Flames also went out. Soon, there was only her and unconscious Shinno were present here.
"It seems that I went a bit overboard!" – muttered Tsukihi with a light chuckle.
Caw... Caw…
At this time, a crow flew down and landed on Tsukihi\'s shoulder.
This crow was used by Tsukihi to keep a watch over the surroundings, and now that the crow has landed on her shoulder, this indicates that a large number of Shinobi will soon be approaching here. So, Tsukihi glanced at the unconscious Shinno for one last time, and after thinking over it a little, she decided to leave him here.
Although this opportunity to take away Shinno is good, however, if Shinno disappears here then it will be revealed that the Uchiha Kunoichi fighting him is still alive, which is something Tsukihi doesn\'t want everyone to think about.
She wants everyone to think that the Uchiha Kunoichi fighting Shinno was swallowed by him, and then as a last resort, the Kunoichi used some sort of Kinjutsu that killed her and also defeated Shinno.
Doing this has many benefits, first and foremost, the reputation of the Uchiha Clan will increase, as one of their shinobi sacrificed herself for the sake of the village.
Many Konoha Shinobi have already witnessed her fighting Moryo, so this is a good thing. After all, if Uchiha Fugaku is asked as to who she is, he wouldn\'t really have any explanation. So, her being dead is better, as he will be able to make up a fake identity if necessary.
Secondly, it will save much trouble for Shinichi.
And thirdly, Orochimaru would stop eyeing her, with Uchiha Tsukihi dead, he wouldn\'t be able to do anything more to obtain the perfect body.
As for how to obtain Chimera Technique?
Tsukihi has thought about it, and finally figured out a method that would work perfectly, if it is executed well.
Moreover, if Tsukihi guessed correctly, Shinno is not the only individual currently present in the village, more members of Akatsuki are also present here, probably. So, if Shinno were to suddenly just up and disappear, then that would be somewhat troublesome.
As such, taking him away is not worth the risk. Tsukihi has better plans to make use of Shinno.
With everything clear, Tsukihi once again watched the surroundings to make sure that any trace of her still being alive is not left behind, and with that confirmation, she used Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from this place.
…
On top of the Hokage Rock.
Hiruko with both of his hands over his chest watched the fully liberated state of the artificial Bijuu gradually shrinking, and finally disappearing, and shook his head with a bit of disappointment, "Sigh, what a waste."
By his side stood Zetsu, who said helplessly. "Oh, the entire plan was ruined by fool Shinno, and now he also seems to have lost."
The appearance of the giant monster in the village directly gave away signs of the presence of a third party. And with Sandaime\'s wicked nature, it would be very easy for him to make out the entire situation and understand that a third party intended to cause chaos within Konoha by inducing internal conflict.
So, it wouldn\'t be wrong to say that Shinno\'s indiscriminate behavior and rampage completely ruined their plan.
Hiruko said, "Since the plan failed, I will go and see if he is still alive and bring him back."
Zetsu looked at the distant moon, the eye on his half-black flickered for a while, and he said with a smile, "Please do so."
Although Shinno completely disrupted their plan, he is still a member of Akatsuki. Moreover, his strength this time also showed that he will be quite useful in the future. And because Shinno also knows too much important information about Akatsuki, so he can not be allowed to fall into the hands of Konoha, whether dead or alive.
Otherwise, too much information about Akatsuki will become common knowledge among the five great shinobi villages.
And this is unacceptable for the leader of Akatsuki.
Hiruko nodded and disappeared from his position.
A while after Hiruko disappeared, the air near Zetsu distorted into the shape of a spiral, and the masked man walked out of it. After taking a glance at Konoha, he questioned in a deep tone, "What happened? Why did the plan not work as intended?"
Zetsu sighed and explained everything, from the moment of disappearance of Uzumaki Naruto to the appearance of Shinno\'s artificial Bijuu, his battle with Uchiha Tsukihi, and then Uchiha Tsukihi\'s self-destructing move to take down Shinno.
Hearing everything, the masked man frowned, "Why did Uchiha Tsukihi fight with Shinno?"
Zetsu replied, "I am not sure, but it is probably because of some personal enmity between the two, we will have to confirm it later."
"Is that so?" – masked man muttered, "And according to you Uchiha Tsukihi is now dead?"
Zetsu nodded, "Yes, she was swallowed by that monster, and it appears that she used some self-destructing ninjutsu to take down Shinno in a last-ditch attempt, and died along with it, such a waste."
The masked man sighed, "Such a good opportunity wasted… anyway, that aside, how did Hiruko play out? His strength seems to have improved compared to the time of his battle against Uchiha Tsukihi and Oto Yumie."
Zetsu nodded, "Hmm, his abilities seem to have improved somewhat, especially in terms of speed, I reckon that soon he will be as fast as the Raikage himself."
Hearing Zetsu\'s words, the masked man groaned a little and said, "This guy regards himself as a hardcore follower of Nagato, I must find a way to bring him under my command."
After all, it was the masked man himself who convinced Pain to support Hiruko\'s Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual.
Hiruko does not know of the existence of the masked man and thinks that it was Tendo Pain with the eyes of Rikudo Sennin, who valued him and thus used the power of the organization to support his plans. Therefore, Hiruko is eager to be recognized and regards himself as a hardcore follower and supporter of Pain.
This is also why, when attacking Konoha this time, Hiruko did not argue but directly disguised himself as Uchiha Shisui and attempted to assassinate Sandaime Hokage. Because this was Pain\'s order. Otherwise, how could Hiruko agree to remain such low-key after completing his Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual?
…
While Masked man and Zetsu discussed some things while observing the village, the ninjas led by Sandaime arrived at the scene of battle.
Looking at the originally bustling neighborhood has now turned into a destructed site with not even a single building standing intact everyone felt extreme anger.
At this point, one of the Anbu following the team spotted the figure of unconscious Shinno, and said, "Hokage-sama, this person seems to be a member of Akatsuki Organization."
The five great shinobi villages may have not established a united military front, but they are still willing to exchange all the information about Amatsukami and Akatsuki.
So Konoha has quite a lot of information about the members of the Akatsuki Organization, at least much more when compared to Amatsukami.
After all, the members of Akatsuki do not wear masks and cloaks that hinder perception, moreover, they also have some or other background or origins, which is not difficult for various villages to figure out, unlike the members of Amatsukami who seems to pop out of nowhere.
Upon hearing that it was a member of Akatsuki, Sandaime\'s expression was gloomier. He walked closer to Shinno and asked, "Is he the guy wanted by Kumo for stealing their Kinjutsu?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama, this is him." – The Anbu member nodded immediately.
With that confirmed Sandaime turned his gaze towards the leader of the sensory department who immediately understood the signal and focused, after a while, he looked at Shinno and said with a serious face, "He is that monster!"
Sandaime frowned after hearing this, and at this moment he suddenly remembered Shion, the daughter of Miko of Land of Demons who came to Konoha a few days ago.
Because of the lack of manpower, Sandaime has been unable to send any team for an investigation into the territory of the Land of Demons. So only Hyuga Kuroto was sent to figure out the state of that country and confirm whether Miko is still alive or has already died.
But now that this monster is present here, Sandaime can\'t help but wonder, \'Was that monster the same one that Miko sealed a few years ago because the description of that monster matches very well with this one?\'
Thinking so, Sandaime suddenly turned towards Shinno, and muttered, "If my guess is correct, then I am afraid that he has become a Jinchuriki to that monster, but it really makes me wonder as to how was he defeated so quickly even after liberating the demon?"
