23 Chapter 23: A moth to a flame? A Wolf in sheep's clothing!
"Uchiha Itachi!"
The Third Hokage growled angrily.
"The Uchiha's really are no good at all! He has such a talent, but why did he have to mix in with Hyuga Nàiluò, a malignant tumor that is endangering our village!"
"So is Uchiha Shisui and Itachi. They really don't care about what Konoha has done for them!"
An angry growl resounded in the Hokage's office.
"Lord Hokage, what is the situation?"
The Anbu Shinobi guarding the door of the Hokage's office knocked and asked in a low voice.
He seemed to have heard the sound of something breaking just now.
"Don't come in! Guard the door and don't let anyone in!"
The high pitched voice of the Third Hokage contained anger that was obvious and anyone could hear it.
The Anbu ninja didn't dare to say more, replied and stepped aside.
In the office, the Third Hokage suppressed his anger and did not continue to vent.
All the forces in Anbu controlled by the Sarutobi clan have already been sent out.
The Anbu ninja who is now outside is an "outsider" to the Third Hokage.
He can not let them know of these things!
"They have long been dissatisfied with the village, and it would be a good thing to expose them earlier."
Mitokado Homura advised.
"They can't escape, even if they win one fight, can they win ten? Can they win a hundred?"
Shimura Danzō shook his head.
As long as these three people die there today, they will have nothing else to be concerned about.
…
By the Naka River.
The ninja from the Sarutobi clan lay motionless on the ground with burns covering his entire body.
The ninjas of the Mitokado clan and the Utatane clan had visible shock in their eyes, and they couldn't help but start paying attention to the ninja who looked like a child.
"Cough…cough…"
The ninja of the Sarutobi clan, who was covered in black burn marks, coughed twice, and tried to wake up, and looked at Uchiha Itachi with a bitter expression on his face:
"What are you waiting for? Kill him! Kill him! I want him to die! I want him to die!"
The group of ninja looked at one another and shot forward at the same time.
However, Uchiha Itachi's expression did not change in the slightest. With a gentle pull of his fingers, an iron net made of steel wires rose up from the ground.
"What? When?"
The group of people were shocked, not knowing when and how Uchiha Itachi did it.
"This group of Shinobi…..so weak…"
Uchiha Itachi thought to himself.
He just arranged the steel wire net with the help of the Great Fireball technique which had obscured him from view, but this so-called elite group of Shinobi didn't even notice it?
'Their fighting quality is probably not as good as a Genin…'
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
After he finished his hand signs, Uchiha Itachi heaved a low sigh, and several fire dragons rushed towards the wire net and smashed into the group of ninja.
Their painful screams resounded!
Soon, the flames dissipated, and the group of Shinobi from the Mitokado clan and the Utatane clan fell to the ground in miserable shape.
"I Really won…"
Uchiha Itachi still couldn't believe it.
How did this group of people live so long?
Haven't they been on the battlefield?
Uchiha Itachi held a Kunai in his hand and walked with vigilance to a ninja who seemed to be better off than the rest of them.
"You…you kid."
The ninja of the Mitokado clan with burnt hair exploded with frustration, and rushed towards Uchiha Itachi.
However, Uchiha Itachi only moved slightly to the side and easily kicked the opponent knocking the air out of his lungs and he then fell to the ground.
"You guys, haven't you been on the battlefield?"
Uchiha Itachi couldn't help asking.
The ninja of the Mitokado clan had a hideous expression upon his face and stared at Uchiha Itachi.
They have never been on the battlefield.
During the war, they were basically active in the Land of Fire, and rarely even went to the border of the land of fire.
With their fighting abilities, how could they be Uchiha Itachi's opponents who had been on the battlefield at the age of four.
"Never mind."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head, hesitated slightly, and then cut the ninja's neck.
He kept reminding himself that this was what they deserved.
With a cold expression, he then killed the group of ninjas who fell on the ground one by one.
Finally, he came to the ninja from the Sarutobi Clan.
The ninja from the Sarutobi clan was already beyond terrified.
In front of a chance of death, there was only a strong desire to survive in his heart.
"Don't kill me, please, let me go, I promise I won't report this to Lord Hokage, please, let me go…"
His voice abruptly stopped, and the ninja of the Sarutobi clan looked at Uchiha Itachi who had already cut his neck silently, and his last expression before his death had returned to his previous hideousness expression.
He seemed to be asking Uchiha Itachi: Why did he want to kill him?
"Itachi…"
Shisui near him had also stopped fighting.
He was besieged by two root ninja and one from the Shimura clan.
These three are much stronger than those who had besieged Itachi, and their cooperation with each other was also excellent.
The three of them lay upon the ground now, but they were not dead yet.
"Shisui-nissan, they must die." Uchiha Itachi said in a voice that was still somewhat immature, saying something that didn't fit his age at all.
"If they do not die, they will then bite the hand that fed them, they would then say that we had attacked them while they were on duty."
(A/N - This phrase means that you act badly toward the person who is helping or has helped you. When you bite the hand that feeds you, you are being unthankful, ungrateful, unappreciative. And that is a lot of "un" words. In other words, you turn against, attack, and even harm someone who is helping you)
"…"
Shisui was silent for a while, and then nodded helplessly.
Although the other party did something wrong, it was still a bit difficult for him to attack a Shinobi from the same village.
However, they have no other way to solve this peacefully.
…
Inside the Hokage building.
All four of them were equally ashamed.
Just now, they saw through the crystal ball that Uchiha Shisui had made up his mind to kill the three ninjas who besieged him.
"These two really are vicious!"
The Third Hokage growled with suppressed anger.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were also full of resentment.
They saw with their own eyes that Uchiha Itachi killed their clansmen one by one like cutting the head off a chicken.
Only Danzo's expression was barely calm.
For him, accomplishing the task is more important than his clan and his subordinates.
It was just a pity that they had failed to complete the task.
"Somethings Wrong!!!"
Danzo suddenly thought of something.
"Why didn't they have reinforcements?"
It's just that the Shinobi who besieged Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi was not their opponent, but what about the rest of the army?
Why didn't anyone arrive and help them?
A bad premonition had formed in the hearts of those present.
"Hiruzen, change the view quickly!"
Utatane Koharu urged.
The battlefield on the other side is probably not as "easy" as they thought it would be!
The crystal ball flashed, and the figure of Hyuga Nàiluò appeared upon it.
They thought that Hyuga Nàiluò had already been done in by the ultimate siege of nearly a hundred Shinobi, and it would be impossible to counterattack!
However, the picture on the crystal ball surprised them:
Hyuga Nàiluò is not like a moth to a flame, but a wolf hiding in a flock of sheep!
The tip of the Kusanagi sword flies through the air, and a ninja would be killed almost every second!
The situation is completely opposite to what they thought! *.
(A.N - A wolf in sheep's clothing is an idiom of Biblical origin used to describe those playing a role contrary to their real character with whom contact is dangerous, particularly false teachers. )
