The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 20 Exposing the Identity

It must be said that when it comes to assassination, Root is the real professional.

The secret technique of using the root-harvesting insects in oil-producing women is a nano-level insect manipulation technique. It hits the target instantly upon contact, destroying cells and rendering conventional protection ineffective.

He was also very patient, knowing that the Uchiha's Sharingan had strong dynamic vision, so he remained hidden in the shadows, holding back his actions, and only quietly released a group of Phosphorous Bad Insects, which silently crawled towards the treetop where Uchiha An was.

Even when the Konoha ninjas were in dire straits on the battlefield, with one after another dying in battle, he was not allowed to move an inch.

His goal was clear: to complete the task assigned by Lord Danzo and kill Itachi Uchiha!

As for other things, those are none of his business!

If Susanoo were active, Itachi Uchiha might be able to keep the Phosphorous Damage Insects out, but who would use Susanoo for fun when not in combat?

If Itachi Uchiha is bitten by a Phosphorous Worm, he will most likely be half-dead, if not killed. Even if we can't finish him off in one go, we can slowly wear him down.

Under normal circumstances, his tactics cannot be considered wrong.

The problem is, this "Uchiha Itachi" in front of us is an imposter!

The toxicity of the phosphorus worm is truly unparalleled. Even if Tsunade were to come, it would probably not be so easy to find an antidote.

However, the Mangekyou Sharingan ability that Uchiha An awakened was "Inaba's White Rabbit," a healing ability that exaggeratedly converts chakra into Yang Release.

Yang Release is a form of chakra that is primarily based on bodily energy. It represents "life creation" and can directly replenish a person's life force, which is completely illogical.

As long as the power of Yang Release is sufficient, creating organs and regenerating limbs are trivial matters, and healing injuries and detoxifying are even easier.

It can be said that his kaleidoscope ability is the natural enemy of all poison abilities.

The Tianke Oil Women's Clan!

Upon being poisoned, Uchiha An activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and regained control of his body.

When the Root ninjas appeared to assassinate him, Uchiha An had a thought, and his blood-red chakra erupted like a volcano, instantly condensing into a half-skull shape, which was then covered with muscles and armor in the blink of an eye, firmly protecting him.

The sharp dagger cut into the energy armor, emitting a piercing shriek that hurt the eardrums. Sparks flew everywhere, but not even a white mark could be left on Susanoo.

The Root Ninja realized his assassination attempt had failed and was about to leave when a large hand, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, came hurtling down on his head like a collapsing mountain, even squeezing the air into visible ripples.

With a "poof," the Root Ninja was chopped into a pile of minced meat. Blood exploded like fireworks, and bone fragments and flesh were deeply embedded in the ground, covering an area of ​​several meters with blood, flesh, and bone fragments.

With a flick of his wrist, Uchiha An sliced ​​off a small piece of flesh from his leg with his short sword and tossed it aside.

The piece of flesh turned purple in an instant, falling to the ground and emitting a purple mist like smoke. The vegetation withered and carbonized at a visible speed, and even the soil turned a strange purplish-black.

The toxicity of these nano-insects was too strong, and he was unable to completely expel the toxins from his body in a short time. With a major battle imminent, he had no choice but to suppress the toxins within that piece of flesh and cut it off.

Without the interference of the phosphorescent insects, the wound glowed with a bright green light, and the muscle fibers wriggled and intertwined like living things. His missing flesh immediately regenerated under the nourishment of Yang Escape, and he was restored to his original state in the blink of an eye. His new skin was even more delicate than that of an infant.

Seeing a group of Root ninjas rush out from the shadows, Uchiha An covered his forehead with one hand to block the mad light flashing in his Sharingan, and laughed loudly, his laughter filled with endless hatred and anger.

"Ha ha……"

"I knew Shimura Danzo wouldn't let this opportunity pass; sure enough, he sent more men to their deaths!"

"Looks like that Aburame Ryoma who died before didn't send any information back!"

"Your oil-woman's bugs have absolutely no effect on me!"

"Oh, right, those disgusting bugs he raises can't break through my defenses at all, and I don't have any information for him to refer to."

"But now you know, right? Aburame Torune!"

Aburame Torune's face was gloomy, showing no sign of being provoked by his provocation. His eyes were cold, and the expression under his mask was like a frozen lake, as if he had no emotions at all.

He stared intently at Uchiha An's Mangekyou Sharingan for a while before frowning and asking:

"You're not Itachi Uchiha, so who are you?"

"Hmm?" Uchiha An tilted his head curiously, a playful smile curving his lips. "Why do you say that?"

"I've seen Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan before, and its pupil pattern is completely different from yours."

"Ah, I see!" Uchiha An exclaimed, seemingly enlightened. "Itachi Uchiha doesn't use his Mangekyou Sharingan casually. Even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio didn't discover this loophole. But you know it so clearly, so..."

His gaze turned icy, his voice gradually deepened, and the killing intent in his eyes solidified as if it were a tangible substance, making the surrounding air seem thicker.

"You were the one who led the men to blockade the Uchiha clan's territory that night, weren't you?"

"Yes, you are Danzo's right-hand man, the one he trusts the most."

"He won't trust Itachi Uchiha; he'll definitely put you in charge of ensuring everything goes according to plan. You'll probably also have the task of gathering information on Itachi Uchiha, right?"

"Discarding a tool after it has served its purpose is one of Shimura Danzo's specialties!"

Sensing the increasingly surging killing intent emanating from Uchiha An, and the deep-seated hatred in his voice, Aburame Torimoto nodded, adding fuel to the fire, and said calmly:

"The evil Uchiha clan should have been wiped out of the village long ago."

These words acted like a fuse, completely igniting the anger in Uchiha An's heart.

"Haha...what an evil Uchiha!"

Uchiha An felt his killing intent boiling over, and he could no longer suppress it. He covered his forehead and laughed wildly again, his laughter becoming increasingly manic and tragic.

Aburame Torune stood there watching, without launching an attack.

He knew that Susanoo consumed a lot of chakra, and the longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for him.

The laughter gradually subsided, but instead of rushing over to fight him irrationally as Aburame Torune had expected, Uchiha An laughed in a strange way.

"Hey, Aburame Torune, I almost forgot, you and Yamanaka Fu are good friends."

His smile gradually twisted, his lips curving into an unnatural arc, and his blood-red eyes gleamed with a morbid light, filled with the pleasure of revenge.

"Your best friend has been murdered. How do you feel right now?"

"what?"

He tilted his head dramatically, feigning confusion, but his eyes were filled with a cruel smile.

"I've heard that people from your root lineage must be ruthless and devoid of human emotions; otherwise, they are failures."

"Looks like you and Yamanaka Fu should have been eliminated long ago!"

"Now that I've helped Danzo clean house, he should be thanking me!"

"Ha ha……"

He laughed wildly, spreading his arms wide, the kaleidoscope in his eyes spinning to its limit.

Under this frenzied mental stimulation, the fluctuations of his chakra became increasingly intense, and Susanoo began to slowly advance towards its third form. The chakra energy outside his body became increasingly solid, and it seemed as if legs were about to grow out.

Having had his sore spot exposed by Uchiha An, Aburame Torune could no longer remain indifferent this time.

His body trembled slightly as he slowly removed his gloves and outer garment, revealing his bare skin, which began to turn purple rapidly.

Upon seeing him like this, the Root ninjas behind him immediately hid far away, retreating as if avoiding a plague, for fear of being contaminated by the nano-poisonous insects on his body.

The phosphorus-damaging insects that infest the roots of oil-producing plants are indiscriminate; once they encounter one, it's basically a death sentence.

"Well, whether you're Itachi Uchiha or not, you're definitely a remnant of the Uchiha clan."

"Killing you would not disobey Lord Danzo's orders."

"In that case, there's no need for any more nonsense. Let's see who's the best."

As soon as the last word was uttered, Aburame Torune's figure transformed into a purple lightning bolt, rushing forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Uchiha An.
