Chapter 226: Serial Incidents! (Seeking subscriptions and moon tickets!)
"Truly astonishing!"
From atop the stone mound, White Zetsu, only his head protruding, couldn't help but exclaim, "It's too unexpected that two Mangekyo Sharingan have appeared from the Uchiha clan all at once!"
Black Zetsu, the other half, replied, "And that Uchiha Yashiro's is an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Yes, that is strange."
White Zetsu looked puzzled, "I didn't sense the presence of Hashirama Cells on him."
"And clearly, this Uchiha Yashiro absolutely doesn't have another pair of Mangekyo from a brother, or a younger brother, nor a father or son!"
Black Zetsu said sinisterly, "Then there's only one possibility. After Danzō was killed, Konoha obtained Orochimaru's research results. That guy knew the close connection between the Sharingan and Hashirama Cells."
"Konoha is researching it now, and they've eliminated the gaps with the Uchiha."
White Zetsu remarked, "Then this is extremely bad!"
"That Sarutobi Asuma is a huge problem. The situation seems to have exceeded Madara-sama's expectations!"
"That guy actually researched a new method for evolving the Sharingan. Combined with Hashirama Cells, after some time, even Nagato might not be able to deal with such a powerful Konoha!"
"In that case, capturing the Nine-Tails will become impossible!"
Black Zetsu also felt a bad premonition and said, "Perhaps we can make use of this Tenshin Group."
"Also, we must be prepared for the worst."
"That Orochimaru, perhaps we can make some deals with him!"
White Zetsu chuckled lightly upon hearing this, "Using the Rinnegan as bait?"
"That's a rather good choice!"
After speaking, his body completely merged into the stone mound and disappeared.
...
"They got away, damn it!"
Looking at the battlefield, which was now empty, Uchiha Yashiro was somewhat angry.
Uchiha Fugaku was very calm. "The enemy's strength exceeded our expectations. Yashiro, with our strength, we couldn't capture them. Perhaps only the Fourth Hokage or Asuma-sensei could do it!"
Uchiha Yashiro nodded, though he didn't want to admit it.
But that was the reality.
Their Wind Style and Earth Style ninjutsu were able to counter his Susanoo and the unique ocular techniques of his Mangekyo.
This had indeed dealt a blow to his originally soaring confidence.
Uchiha Fugaku could sense that Uchiha Yashiro was feeling a bit down. "You haven't fully utilized the abilities of those eyes yet, don't be discouraged!"
"Madara Uchiha's Susanoo back then was much more powerful than yours now!"
Uchiha Yashiro's spirit was lifted, and he regained his confidence. "Yes, I understand!"
Disengaging his Susanoo, the two met up with Sarutobi Amayo and the others, and then negotiated with the Stone Ninja.
This was, after all, the Land of Earth.
Of course, Uchiha Fugaku was on a mission; otherwise, even in the Land of Earth, he could have ignored them and retreated immediately.
But now, he patiently explained the situation.
Ten minutes later.
Uchiha Fugaku retreated with his group.
The Jonin of the Stone Ninja withdrew their gazes and immediately gave the order, "Move out, report back to the Third Tsuchikage-sama immediately!"
Under the Sage Tree.
Sarutobi Asuma retracted his gaze from the crystal ball, his thoughts drifting to Iwagakure.
It should be about time now.
In Iwagakure.
Clone Uka and Clone Raijin, disguised as two Stone Ninja, were strolling leisurely through the streets of Iwagakure, admiring the completely different style from Konoha.
An hour later.
The two locked onto a target: the Explosion Release ninja, Kari!
Night fell.
Inside the Tsuchikage's office.
Onoki listened to the report, his expression grave. "Susanoo..."
The patriarch of the Uchiha clan, plus another Uchiha clansman who appeared to be even stronger than Uchiha Fugaku and also possessed Susanoo. The two of them, even when working together, could not stop the two members of the Tenshin Group.
And according to the descriptions of his subordinate ninja, one member of the Tenshin Group possessed Earth Style ninjutsu so advanced that it was rarely seen even in Iwagakure.
"Just where did these guys come from?"
Onoki frowned, then began issuing orders as the Tsuchikage.
"Track the whereabouts of the Tenshin Group."
"Bloodline Limit ninja do not need to undertake missions for the time being; remain in the village."
...
And just as Onoki was issuing his orders.
At Explosion Style User Kari's home, Clone Raijin carried the hypnotized Kari and disappeared from the room with Clone Uka.
The two spirited the person away without a sound.
Less than 15 minutes later, a Stone Ninja arrived to deliver the Tsuchikage's orders, only to find Kari's home empty.
"Didn't he already return?"
The Stone Ninja muttered with a frown, then saw a bowl of ramen on the table. He approached and touched it, his expression changing drastically. "It's still warm..."
"No way?"
The Stone Ninja thought of a terrible possibility, his scalp prickling.
He quickly left and inquired with his neighbors. The results were:
Kari had not left the house since his return.
Moreover, two people had visited not long ago.
"Damn it!"
The Stone Ninja immediately rushed to the Tsuchikage's office building.
In less than 5 minutes.
A large number of Stone Ninja began searching throughout Iwagakure.
An hour later, teams began leaving Iwagakure and quickly pursued outwards.
The Stone Ninja acted swiftly. They traced the two Stone Ninja impersonated by Clone Uka and Clone Raijin.
Unfortunately.
The two clones had left Iwagakure using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
They then drew a large tube of blood from Explosion Style User Kari, dumped him in a cave, and set off from the Land of Earth.
Inside the cave, besides Explosion Style User Kari, were the two Stone Ninja they had impersonated earlier.
When daylight broke, Kitsuchi finally arrived with his people and found the location. He saw a note taped to Explosion Style User Kari's back.
[Borrowed some blood, thanks!]
Kitsuchi looked at the note, his expression grim. The Stone Ninja beside him were even more enraged.
"Damn it, they're too arrogant!"
"We must catch those scoundrels!"
"They completely disregard us!"
The Stone Ninja roared.
"Leave two squads to escort them back. The rest of you, continue tracking the Tenshin Group's whereabouts. You must find them!"
Kitsuchi ordered.
...
Kumogakure.
Watching Eight-Tails Killer B singing enthusiastically on the high platform, Clone Mido couldn't help but murmur, "None of the Jinchuriki are normal."
Clone Kagami withdrew his gaze. "Let's go. The Iwagakure job should be finished."
"Once we're done here, the Tenshin Group's name will echo throughout the Ninja World!"
The two exited the crowd. Clone Mido chuckled lightly, "And they'll also become public enemies of the Ninja World, hunted by all the major villages."
"I'm suddenly looking forward to it!"
...
An hour later, Lava Style User Dodai was silently taken out of Kumogakure by the two.
Meanwhile, in the Raikage's office, the Fourth Raikage was listening to his assistant's report on the Tenshin Group.
"Raikage-sama, considering that Iwagakure's Explosion Style ninja was silently taken from the village by the Tenshin Group, it's necessary for us to temporarily keep Bloodline Limit ninja in the village and assign guards."
The Fourth Raikage frowned. Although he didn't believe anyone could abduct someone from his village, he still nodded in agreement with his assistant's proposal.
However, less than half an hour later, he received an unbelievable report.
"Dodai is missing?"
The Cloud Ninja Jonin who came to report was sweating profusely as he nodded. "Yes, Raikage-sama. It has been completely confirmed!"
"Damn it!"
"Damn Tenshin Group, picking a fight with me!"
The Fourth Raikage roared, smashing his desk with a punch. He then crashed through the glass window and leaped outside, shouting, "Immediately relay orders for a full pursuit!"
"I'll catch those bastards myself!"
Inside the office, a Kumogakure Jonin wiped sweat from his brow. "Just as expected!"
The Fourth Raikage's reaction was entirely within their predictions.
