Chapter 56 Picking Up People
Chapter 56 Picking Up People
The Land of Grass, the Village of Grass Ninja.
"Nice to meet you, I am Uchiha Itachi."
Although not everyone in the ninja world knows that Itachi possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, for the ninja villages that pay attention to Konoha, that is all very clear.
Wuwei dared not be negligent: "You've come from afar, it must have been tiring. We have prepared everything Qianyao instructed us to do."
Itachi's face was expressionless, like an iceberg, and he didn't exchange pleasantries with Wuwei.
"We are pressed for time and need to leave now."
Standing beside Wuwei were Wugou and Longshe, who couldn't help but speak up:
"Didn't Senior Qianyao come? We haven't thanked him yet."
Itachi saw that it was the Pure and Dragon Tongue that Chiyo had mentioned, and simply nodded slightly:
"Senior Qianyao is too busy to come, but I will help convey your gratitude."
Wugou and Ryusei were not very clear about the situation in Konoha.
But Wuwei was very clear: "In that case, come with me."
Wuwei led Itachi and his group.
Wandering through the village of Kusagakure.
According to Itachi's observation, Kusagakure and Konoha were completely different countries.
Konoha Village has water, electricity, and gas, while in Kusagakure, only a few places have electricity.
In other places, people still live a very primitive life.
Moreover, the villagers generally looked pale and weak.
Only ninjas are physically strong.
Itachi followed Wuwei to a secluded courtyard, where there was even a guard outside the door.
As an elite Jonin, Wuwei was already the most powerful person in Kusagakure, second only to the elders, and wielded considerable power.
Moreover, because his Fire Release: Heavenly Prison is very suitable for imprisoning prisoners, the Grass Village is preparing to let him succeed as the lord of Hozuki Castle.
However, the situation in Konoha is tense right now, and all the other ninja villages are watching to see what happens next.
Wuwei has not yet gone to the Ghost Lantern City.
When the guards at the gate saw that it was Wuwei coming, they stepped aside.
Wuwei led a large group of people into the room.
Karin and her mother were talking when they were startled to see so many people come in.
"Lord Wuwei, what brings you here?" Karin's mother was rather calm.
If it weren't for Wuwei's order, she would have died already, so she's not too panicked now.
Karin is only 7 years old now, and only dares to hide behind her mother, peeking out her little head to look at Itachi and the others.
Wuwei introduced Karin's mother to her:
"This is Uchiha Itachi, sent by Uchiha Senyao to pick you up. You can leave Kusagakure now."
Karin's mother had almost been drained dry, but she was, after all, a member of the Uzumaki clan with healing abilities.
Over the past week or so, thanks to the various herbs that Wuwei has been using at great expense, I have recovered considerably.
Seeing that he was in good condition, Itachi immediately said:
"Pack your things and come with us. From now on, you'll be Uchiha people."
Karin's mother cast an inquiring glance at Wuwei.
Wuwei nodded, and she obediently picked up her things and followed behind Itachi and the others.
"We don't need to prepare anything, we can leave now."
Itachi took out a letter from his person and gave it to Wuwei: "This is something that Senior Qianyao wants to discuss with you."
"I won't stay any longer." With that, Itachi quickly left with Karin and her daughter.
Itachi is not very good at socializing, and he was just fulfilling Chiyo's instructions.
Especially to outsiders, Itachi appears to be very impolite.
But Wuwei didn't care about those things; instead, he opened Qianyao's letter and started reading it.
Itachi didn't take it out beforehand, obviously to see if he had taken good care of Karin and her daughter.
The letter was long and contained some very exciting information.
It details how the Grass Village was destroyed and what the Box of Paradise actually is.
What a catastrophe it will cause once the monsters inside are released.
Because of the previous cooperation, Wuwei still trusted Qianyao a lot.
That's why he felt incredibly overwhelmed.
The village of Kusagakure is divided into "Kusa no Higanbana" (grass fruits) and "Kusa no Hana" (grass flowers), which can be understood as the hawks and doves.
Kusanagi has always been dedicated to opening the Box of Bliss and restoring Kusagakure.
Kusanagi has always believed that Kusagakure should not possess the Box of Bliss and has opposed opening it.
The technique for opening the Box of Bliss is extremely complex, as delicate and sophisticated as performing brain surgery.
Currently, only the exceptionally talented Mui and Shigeji have mastered the technique in the entire Kusagakure village.
He was originally a member of the Grass Fruit, which is why he learned this technique.
Now Qianyao tells him that even if the Box of Bliss can be opened, what it will give birth to is not hope, but destruction.
Wuwei was somewhat lost.
Fortunately, at least he learned of this information in advance.
Even if Wuwei cannot gain the trust of those fanatical elders of the Grass Ninja Village.
But doing nothing allows for advance preparation and the transfer of risk to others.
He's not opening this box; let whoever wants to open it open it.
Didn't you see that Shigeji has already been eaten?
Qianyao's letter didn't say much else.
However, Wuwei owed Qianyao a debt of gratitude, but the Uchiha clan was too large and powerful, so he could only find an opportunity to repay him later.
……
Itachi and his clansmen, along with Karin and her mother, left the territory of Kusagakure.
At this moment, Itachi instructed his clansmen, "Tokito, we will part ways here. You should return to the clan as soon as possible."
The man didn't say much. After accepting the order, he left with Karin and her daughter, along with a few others.
The weasel found a safe cave and lit a torch.
Then, speaking to his own shadow, he said, "Senior Chiyo, Karin and her mother are already on their way back."
A figure rose from his shadow; it was Qianyao's clone.
"I'll tell the main body to wait a moment."
A moment later, the clone's eyes changed; it was Qianyao's original consciousness that had transformed into it:
"I understand what you just said."
"As expected, Hiruzen Sarutobi has recalled a thousand of his clansmen, who arrived in Konoha last night."
"A thousand!?" Itachi's face showed some surprise. The clansmen being recalled were, of course, referring to the ninjas.
Although Qianyao had previously analyzed that there were quite a few people involved, Itachi was still very shocked when the actual number appeared.
Even if he wasn't politically astute, he understood how terrifying it was for a ninja clan to have thousands of combatants.
Qianyao reassured him, "Don't worry, the Hyuga clan came to form an alliance with us yesterday."
"The other ninja clans in the village won't let the Third Hokage fight us."
"The rest of the time is just waiting for the Third Hokage to expose his power."
Itachi trusted Chiyo completely, so when Chiyo said that, he immediately felt relieved.
"Senior Qianyao, should my next step still be to go to the Land of Earth?"
Qianyao nodded and said, "That's right, remember, we should make a big show of it on the Shikoku Road."
"Yes, I understand." After finishing his business, Itachi added:
"Virginia and Dragon Tongue asked me to convey their gratitude."
Qian Yao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"If you encounter that person in the Land of Earth, call me again. If you don't, then forget it."
"You don't need to worry about the tribe."
"In addition," Qian Yao paused for a moment.
"Sasuke knows why you left the village; he's already been awakened by it."
Itachi's expression was somewhat complicated: "I'm entrusting Sasuke to you, Senyao-senpai."
Qianyao waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will take good care of both Sasuke and Izumi."
"Thank you, Senior Qianyao."
