Bai Cangshu completed the Gourmet Cell enhancement in front of Catherine. He didn't mind her knowing part of his purpose.
He then picked up Uchiha Itachi and Pingzhong Hua and walked outside, leaving Catherine to continue healing Uchiha Shisui with magic.
The convenience of magic was well demonstrated here; this healing power didn't require much consideration for physiological and scientific matters. As long as it didn't exceed its limit, it could heal anything.
"Zhi Shui, recently all villages will likely mobilize for war, moving towards the Land of Fire border. That will be your best opportunity to capture Tailed Beasts."
The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan possesses considerable restraining power over Tailed Beasts; top Uchiha ninjas can directly control Tailed Beasts, including the Nine-Tails.
And Uchiha Shisui, of course, also possesses the ability to capture Tailed Beasts.
Uchiha Shisui's physical injuries were rapidly improving. If this ability of hers could work on him, it could naturally work on Itachi as well.
He knew that from this moment on, if he still wanted to save Itachi, he would become a wild beast constrained by the other party's reins.
But…
If Itachi and I die like this, what will happen to Konoha and Uchiha?
Will they go directly to war, or will the clan members lay down their arms?
There were too many questions that Uchiha Shisui had to verify himself.
Under the emerald green magical light, Uchiha Shisui finally stood up from the ground. His shattered bones had completely recovered at an incredible speed.
At this moment, his vitality was still a bit weak, as if he had suffered a serious illness, but his movements were unhindered, and his Chakra finally began to be extracted and flow again.
He opened his eyes, and the crimson three-tomoe caused Catherine's body to stiffen for a moment. She had previously been hit by Uchiha Shisui's gaze from eight hundred meters away, breaking her Mental defense and trapping her in a genjutsu.
Zhi Shui saw that Itachi and that man had both disappeared. He was silent for a moment before saying,
"You are not ninjas, are you? Can you tell me your true purpose?"
Uchiha Shisui stood up, his demeanor much colder. After this lesson, his attitude towards things had subtly changed.
Catherine saw those Sharingan eyes slightly move, and again felt a strong negative energy invade her brain.
Damn it, Tao Bai Bai didn't restrict this guy from attacking her?!
In fact, Bai Cangshu and Uchiha Shisui had not reached any consensus other than capturing a Tailed Beast and sending it to the Rain Country within 7 days.
Catherine's consciousness suddenly became chaotic. She seemed to see her real-world room, warm and bright, and that guy Ran was also there, curled up on the sofa playing games.
"Catherine, what exactly does that Tao Bai Bai guy want to do? Do you know?"
Catherine was a bit confused, but at this moment, she didn't notice anything unusual and said,
"Tao Bai Bai probably genuinely wants to prey on those rare and exotic beasts. He has strengthened his Gourmet Cell, so he can probably strengthen himself by preying on the Tailed Beasts or even those Summoning Beasts and Sages in this world."
"As for anything else, I'm not sure, but he's most likely going to protect that woman…"
Uchiha Shisui listened to the woman's confession and sighed. So these few people were not actually together. He could hear a lot of fear in the woman's words.
However, he also obtained some useful information. That terrifying guy who called himself Tao Bai Bai probably possessed some special ability to strengthen himself by preying on powerful and rare creatures.
Upon hearing this news, he actually felt relieved.
Firstly, it could explain the origin of the other party's terrifying strength that didn't require hand seals, and secondly, it confirmed that the other party genuinely wanted to "eat" Tailed Beasts.
In this world, most villages actually used Tailed Beasts as a trump card for mutual deterrence.
Those powerful monsters possessed the strength to overwhelm most ninjas, and in their full state, even some Kage-level ninjas would find it difficult to suppress them.
Many ambitious individuals used Tailed Beasts to achieve terrifying goals, including the Nine-Tails attack on Konoha a few years ago.
But that Tao Bai Bai actually wanted to eat Tailed Beasts!
Uchiha Shisui then disappeared. He had to rush back to Konoha as quickly as possible to ensure that Uchiha and Konoha would not engage in internal strife, and then he had to appear before the ninjas of other villages to deter enemy villages and prevent war from breaking out immediately.
He was pressed for time, so much so that he didn't even have time to track where Tao Bai Bai had taken Itachi, and directly left using the Body Flicker Technique.
Bai Cangshu, standing in the rain and mist, shook Uchiha Itachi in his hand. The latter's face was pale and his eyes weak, but he had undoubtedly regained consciousness.
"How about it, Uchiha Itachi, do you think Uchiha Shisui can prevent the Konoha civil war and the outbreak of war?"
Bai Cangshu's tone carried mockery and malice, as if he disdained this kind of light-hearted Uchiha.
But in reality, he wasn't mocking Uchiha Shisui; he was mocking this world…
Bai Cangshu increasingly felt that these mission-derived worlds actually had their own "tone," whether it was called world will or inhibitory force.
Each world had its own set of built-in rules. If you acted according to those rules, you would gain the greatest benefit; otherwise, you would suffer extra "difficulties."
Please... You... Collect 6... Books... Bar...!
For example, the Black Robe World was a chaotic, cunning world where everyone fought for their own selfish desires and interests. Bai Cangshu was in his element in that world. Although he entered the mission world later, he gained the world's general trend and the Homelander's support much faster than Wu Xin, who entered earlier.
The Pirate World, on the other hand, was the opposite. Bai Cangshu's own mission progress was slow, almost constantly encountering enemies beyond specification. In the end, it was with the "help" of Keli and Cindy that he gained the recognition of Black King · Luffy and Garp, successfully evacuating.
And his mission completion rate in the Pirate World was also the lowest.
The Naruto World, on the other hand, was a world with a tragic undertone. The hatred in this world was like an unbreakable chain, stretching for thousands of years.
If the Pirate World emphasized the resolute part of the human heart, then the Naruto World highlighted the fragile and changeable side of the human heart.
Every person who initially harbored good intentions was eventually changed by repeated losses, their original aspirations altered, and dyed with other colors.
In this world, ninjas were always caught in a cycle of revenge and being revenged. Despite possessing extraordinary power, they were still controlled by Daimyo and nobles, manipulated by these interest groups to constantly engage in wars.
Tsk.
Bai Cangshu equally mocked everyone.
His biggest goal in this mission, besides completing the Special Trial · perfect benevolence and supreme goodness, was naturally to achieve an S-rank or higher completion rate so that he could forge the thunder emperor's heart.
In a world like this, nothing could create a greater event than creating hatred and severing hatred.
Bai Cangshu's Transparent World could clearly see the changes in Uchiha Itachi's heart rate. This powerful young man, under 13 years old, was thinking, trying to disguise himself.
His performance in front of Bai Cangshu was, to some extent, much more rational and calm than Uchiha Shisui, more like a mature ninja.
Bai Cangshu lifted Uchiha Itachi's body, then leaned towards Uchiha Itachi's ear and said,
"I know. You're thinking. You're thinking about how to stop me, and…"
"How to refute my words."
"The Uchiha Clan's magnanimity isn't great, so are the Konoha higher-ups' magnanimity great?"
"Ha, they're all cut from the same cloth."
"Itachi, this world is in the hands of those idiots. People like you and Zhi Shui, who possess power, have to fall into endless and meaningless wars at the command of idiots. How pathetic."
Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes. He felt as if he was being tempted by a demon, but strangely… he couldn't control himself from thinking: Uchiha… Konoha… do those struggles really have meaning…
"Don't worry, Uchiha Itachi, I'll take you to see them. Those maggots hiding behind the scenes, manipulating you into war, how frantic they look, hahahaha…"
Pingzhong Hua stood in the distance, listening to that guy's wild laughter, thinking he was probably truly insane.
Does this kind of madman really just want to eat some Tailed Beast?
