Naruto: New World

Chapter 172 The Dust Settles



A somewhat reckless Uchiha.

Kakuzu came to this conclusion in his mind. It seemed that not all Uchiha were like Manyo, who put great pressure on people.

Earth Escape: Hardening Technique.

His hands hardened and turned black, Kakuzu easily blocked Itachi's attack, and with a swing of his left fist, he knocked the opponent away and crashed into the ruins.

Izumi on the side was shocked and quickly carried Sasuke over to check.

Lei Dun's heart was accidentally destroyed just now, so let's use this trick to get rid of you.

After thinking for a moment, Kakuzu quickly formed seals with his hands and spit out a high-pressure wind ball.

Wind escape · oppression!

Ultra-high pressure wind energy swept across, wreaking havoc and destroying everything around it.

When the energy dissipated, the courtyard was razed to the ground, as if it had been destroyed by a natural disaster.

puff!

A clear sound of kunai piercing flesh reached his ears, and Kakuzu's vision began to rotate. There was doubt in his eyes. Just when his head fell to the ground, he saw Uchiha Itachi standing behind him.

The opponent held a ninja sword in his hand and was maintaining a slashing posture.

So that’s it, was everything just an illusion?

Kakuzu looked around slightly and realized that the surrounding buildings were all intact.

His head fell to the ground and he closed his eyes.

"You can't die even if your head falls off?" Itachi Uchiha retreated to Izumi, his brows furrowed tightly.

Just now, in order to completely kill Kakuzu, he took out his ninja sword and chopped off the opponent's head.

Even so, the standing body and the lack of blood spurting made Itachi conclude that the other party was still alive.

Swish swish!

A horrifying scene appeared. Countless black threads poured in from the broken parts of Kakuzu's torso and neck, shaking like living creatures.

Soon these silk threads 'picked up' Kakuzu's neck again, but it did not return to its original body, but split completely.

From a corner, it turned into three monsters wrapped around his shoulders and the back of his head, connected by strange black lines all over their bodies.

Uchiha Izumi, who had never seen such a situation before, was stunned, holding Sasuke with his mouth slightly open and speechless.

As for Uchiha Itachi, in addition to clenching the kunai in his hand harder, his eyes were firmly locked on the opponent, intending to strike first!

Amaterasu!

boom.

The dark flames instantly wrapped around Kakuzu, and the monster on his right immediately opened its mouth and sprayed water, but once the flames of Amaterasu possessed it, it was impossible to extinguish it.

Don’t stop until the target is burned to death!

This same weird ability was noticed by Kakuzu. He knew that he had underestimated the enemy, so he chose to give up the water heart.

A monster's mask was shattered, and the black flames on Kakuzu's body were extinguished. He no longer hesitated and ran towards Uchiha Itachi at extremely fast speeds.

Itachi, who had just turned on the kaleidoscope and experienced battles one after another, was already unable to stand. He threw a shuriken, then spit out a huge fireball, and quickly pushed Izumi Uchiha away.

"Izumi! Take Sasuke and hide!"

Boom!

The place where he originally stood was blasted to pieces by Kakuzu. The opponent's hands were as bright as black gold. The two monsters were wrapped around their shoulders with black silk threads, exerting full pressure.

"Fire escape! Head hard!"

There was no need to seal at all, the monster on Kakuzu's left shoulder opened its mouth, and violent flames immediately poured out!

wow~

At this moment, a water formation wall appeared out of thin air, blocking Kakuzu and Uchiha Itachi.

Kakuzu turned his head and saw a girl wrapped in a chakra coat on top of the broken house.

The three-tailed jinchūriki?

"Kakuzu, you seem a little embarrassed, but the mission has been completed. Now you don't have to fight anymore. You have saved a life." A white Zetsu suddenly appeared on the ground and said in a tone that made Kakuzu angry.

"Hmph! I will come back when you are on the bounty list!" He was full of momentum, but Kakuzu started to retreat without saying a word.

After all, this mission is a bit special, taking place in the Konoha Ninja Village.

If he hadn't controlled Danzo, a high-ranking person, Kakuzu wouldn't have dared to take such casual risks. His number of hearts was also limited.

In addition to Jiaodu here, Shennong and Red Sand Scorpion also received the retreat signal.

Nohara Lin did not chase, but quickly came to Itachi: "How are you?"

"It's okay." Itachi held on to the wall, turning on the kaleidoscope for the first time and continuing to fight for so long, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Let's go meet Kakashi first, and then look for survivors around us." Leaving Uchiha Itachi in the hands of Izumi, Lin led them out together.

After this ANBU team met, after a while other ANBU teams also received orders from Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and came to support.

However, at this time, the entire Uchiha clan had been almost slaughtered. The person who did it seemed to have chosen a time when everyone was there after investigation!

If Itachi hadn't happened to join the ANBU today, he would have been in the family.

The next morning, news came out that panicked everyone in Konoha.

The huge Uchiha family was wiped out overnight!

There are only a few waning old guys left, as well as the two sons of Fugaku, the former leader of the Uchiha clan, and a girl named Uchiha Izumi.

After Konoha's investigation, it was found that the initiator of the genocide was a tribesman named Uchiha Manyo!

The reason why he did this was because he was looked down upon and bullied by his fellow clan members since he was a child because he was not talented enough to practice ninjutsu.

After years of hard training in swordsmanship, Uchiha Manyo accidentally opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. With a qualitative change in power, he slaughtered the entire Uchiha with one sword strike!

The truth of such an incident coming from Konoha, the Land of Fire, shocked the entire ninja world.

All the forces and the Ninja Village began to check to see if there was anything similar to Uchiha Manyo's, so that they could get some rest in advance.

No matter what the outside world speculates, after several days of investigation in Konoha Village, the genocide crisis has finally been settled.

Uchiha Manyo was also listed as a high-risk person by Konoha because of this incident, and he was also the first high-risk person who was not a Konoha ninja!

All the dead people in the Uchiha clan have been buried, but most of the ruins are still not cleaned up.

In a complete house, Uchiha Itachi and others sat together. In front of them were several other surviving clan elders.

"Itachi, this is the end of the matter. Where did this incident happen and what is the truth? There is no need to investigate in detail. With a few of you, at least the roots of Uchiha are still there."

One clan elder said with a hint.

Although Uchiha Itachi is young, he can completely understand what the other person is saying.

Of course, the genocide cannot be accomplished by Manyo alone, and there must be the cooperation of Konoha's higher-ups!

Not to mention, when clearing the ruins, they also discovered the corpse of the root ninja.
