Chapter 64: Izanagi
Southeast camp.
Fifteen hundred ninjas have been assembled, but the commander has not arrived yet.
Danzo was stopped by an unexpected visitor.
"Where's Shiratori?"
Setsuna put on the Uchiha Clan's plate armor again after many years. He was fully armed and looked unfriendly.
"Do I need to explain to you? Get out of the way!"
Danzo's expression wasn't much better either. Every time he saw someone from the Uchiha Clan, he would feel irritated from the bottom of his heart.
"Shiratori is my disciple!"
"He is also a ninja from the southeast camp, and I am the commander of the southeast camp!"
At this time, Might Duy passed by outside the big tent, and after seeing Setsuna, he greeted him warmly.
"Elder Setsuna, why are you here?"
"Oh, it's you, Duy…"
Shiratori had previously promised Might Duy, on behalf of Setsuna, that the Uchiha Clan would be responsible for the father's and son's daily needs.
Setsuna was also very considerate and directly hired Might Duy as the family's special physical training instructor.
So, the two sides are quite familiar with each other.
"Are you here to see boss Shiratori?"
"Yes, do you know where he is?"
Might Duy Duy scratched his head, not knowing how to describe it. He looked up and suddenly saw the map on the wall…
"That's it, that valley. Boss Shiratori went there to investigate!"
Looking in the direction of Duy's finger, he was stunned, and then he became furious!
According to the markings on the map, that huge valley… It is exactly the place where the Konoha ninjas plan to encircle and suppress the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!
"Danzo! You—"
"Oh, I forgot just now; Shiratori Uchiha is indeed on a mission there." Danzo answered lightly.
"You damn rat, you disgusting maggot! You did it on purpose!"
Furious, Setsuna grabbed Danzo by the collar.
Danzo waved his hand to signal the Root ninjas not to come forward. He seemed to not care about Setsuna's offensive behavior and just said slowly:
"Where's the evidence? This is just an ordinary patrol mission. Isn't it normal to encounter the enemy? Death is inevitable. Why… You Uchiha Clan are unwilling to die for the village?"
Setsuna stared at Danzo's face, then pushed him aside and walked out quickly.
Now is not the time to argue with this scum. If he doesn't hurry up, he's afraid it will be too late!
"I'm going too!" Might Duy seemed to understand something and wanted to go, too.
"Anyone who leaves the camp without permission will be executed on the spot."
Danzo adjusted his collar and spoke to Might Duy.
"Even if I have to die, I can't—"
"Duy, I order you to stay here! If I don't come back, you will go and inform the Uchiha Clan and explain in detail everything that happened today!"
Setsuna's voice came from outside.
Danzo casually glanced at the very depressed Might Guy and just felt much better.
"This old guy is also gone… Well, this is a good thing; we can kill three Uchiha bastards at once!"
The relationship between Shiratori and Huoji is not harmonious.
Not to mention the troubles Huoji had caused, even in their daily interactions, Huoji liked to act superior.
He values the past and despises the present, looking down on all the current Konoha ninjas. He thinks that compared to the ninjas during the Warring States Period, today's ninjas are just a group of little sheep, and Shiratori's future is not as great as Setsuna said.
When he talked to Shiratori, he always used a lecturing tone so that every conversation that was not friendly would turn into a quarrel between the two.
But now he is dead, died in front of Shiratori, and was burned to ashes by Amaterasu in order to protect the not-so-brilliant family's future.
Nothing is left.
Shiratori, who was daydreaming, was tripped by a stone and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
Gazing at the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, he felt a little complicated. This was the only time he accepted Huoji's advice, but he didn't expect it to be… Running away.
"How embarrassing…"
He muttered to himself.
Four figures rushed out of the woods at an extremely fast speed, surrounding Shiratori from a distance on the shallows of the creek and blocking all his escape routes.
"Run? Why don't you run away, you little bastard?" Raiga's face was ferocious. He was good at wielding two swords and only had one left arm left now.
That damn black flame could not be extinguished once it got on his body. In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to cut off one of his arms. At this moment, he really hated Shiratori!
Of course, compared to his colleagues, he was still lucky; at least he saved his life.
Fuguki Suikazan, Juzo Biwa, Jinpachi Munashi, and Raiga Kurosuki, whose right arm was broken, are now the only four left of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Shiratori managed to stand up, using his sword as support to prevent himself from falling.
The continuous execution of missions during this period had already exhausted his physical strength, and coupled with the accidental encounter with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist…
Haha, as expected, for a transmigrator, staying at home is the truth.
If you rely on knowing the general direction of the plot and wander around blindly, you will fail sooner or later. He felt that he had brought shame to countless transmigrators…
Wherever Shiratori's eyes went, the four people in front of him subconsciously took a step back and then became angry and felt humiliated.
They were frightened by the Amaterasu before and even had some psychological trauma after seeing the Sharingan…
"A bunch of cowards!"
Seeing that no one was the first to make a move, Raiga spat, pulled out his sword, and slowly walked forward.
"Little bastard, don't accuse me of bullying the weak! You will die in great pain…"
Suddenly, a roar came from far away:
"Bullying the weak? Let me see how you, a bunch of bastards, bully the weak!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in red armor came running over and landed in front of Shiratori after a few jumps.
He turned around, looked at his disciple standing there in a daze, and showed a reassuring smile.
"Shiratori, I'm here to save you!"
Shiratori stood there blankly, tears flowing uncontrollably from his eyes.
Setsuna Uchiha was about to comfort him, but what greeted him was a loud roar from Shiratori:
"Why are you here?! Go! Go quickly!"
Old man… You shouldn't have come here!
No one knew Setsuna's physical condition better than him. The old man was almost eighty years old. Due to his age and some old injuries, his opponent doesn't even need to hit him…
"Why?" Looking at Shiratori crying, Setsuna shook his head and patted his shoulder: "I am your teacher."
Because I am your teacher.
This reason… Isn't it enough!
"Hey, let me tell you… How long are you two going to talk? Aren't you being too arrogant?"
Raiga rushed over with a sword in hand.
"Shiratori, no matter what you see next… Don't be surprised." Setsuna activated his Sharingan, formed three seals with his hands, and confronted Raiga fiercely.
Puff!
"This…"
Raiga's sword pierced Setsuna's chest without any hindrance, as if… He had let it hit him on his own initiative!
Wrong!
Raiga suddenly thought of the old blind man…
Setsuna's figure disappeared like a bubble, and almost at the same time, he strangely appeared behind Raiga and slashed with the sword in his hand.
Raiga, who had felt something was wrong before, fell forward in an awkward posture but the tip of the sword still scratched his neck, but the wound was not deep, and it did not touch the artery.
"What is this?!" Raiga covered his neck and stepped back, his face full of horror.
These Uchiha… Why do they have so many weird abilities!
"Let's go together and kill him!" The three others also rushed over and slashed with their weapon.
Setsuna was still not afraid and fought with the four of them!
Fuguki's Samehada smashed his chest, but he appeared beside Juzo Biwa intact and cut a big gash in the opponent's waist with the Kunai.
Jinpachi swung Shibuki, and countless explosive tags instantly exploded and engulfed Setsuna's figure. However, Setsuna appeared in the distance and disrupted their formation with a huge fireball.
Juzo Biwa wanted to kill Shiratori first, so he rushed in front of Shiratori and placed Kubikiribōchō in front of his body. Seeing this, Setsuna used several Fire Style Jutsu to burn Juzo, leaving big charred holes all over his body!
Now, besides Setsuna, only Shiratori knew roughly what happened.
"Izanagi…"
Izanagi, the ultimate Genjutsu unique to the Uchiha Clan!
It can transform things that happen within a period of time that are unfavorable to oneself into dreams and keep things that are favorable to oneself as reality!
The price… It is the permanent blindness of the Sharingan.
Setsuna stood beside Shiratori, breathing rapidly, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead while his left eye flashed with an obviously abnormal red light.
"Old man…"
Shiratori clenched his fists, a little worried.
The duration of Izanagi varies from person to person. Setsuna is too old and does not have Hashirama's cells, so the duration… It will not exceed three minutes.
The most important thing is that Izanagi will not recover the consumed Chakra.
Old man… He can't afford to waste time!
When he first demonstrated this ability but failed to kill Raiga, it was destined that it would be difficult for Setsuna to defeat the enemy with this Forbidden Technique.
"Don't talk…"
Setsuna grabbed Shiratori's arm and looked around.
The four did not choose to attack again but kept a safe distance from Setsuna out of fear.
"Let's go." Setsuna pretended to be calm and pulled Shiratori to leave.
Looking at the backs of the master and disciple, Juzo Biwa asked in a low voice: "Just let them go like this? Should we… Chase them?"
Setsuna's strange ability really scared them.
Hearing this, Fuguki Suikazan gnashed his teeth and said: "Chase him, why not?"
"But the old man's ability…"
"If that strange ability really has no limits, then we are the ones running away now! No need to fight; we just follow that old guy and see how long he can hold out!"
In the previous encounter, they could sense that.
Setsuna Uchiha's physical condition was very poor, and he was barely holding on to the battle.
Even with the help of the unknown Jutsu, he couldn't hold on for much longer…
