Harbinger Of Defection

"Sir, are you awake?"

Ryuzetsu knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Yes." Isshiki's consciousness went online and he slowly opened his eyes.

"It has only been half a month since you last woke up. Did something happen?" Ryuzetsu asked respectfully.

"Something happened to that idiot Urashiki. He was really killed this time."

Isshiki controlled Karin's body, his expression wooden.

Isshiki had very little emotional fluctuations, and his personality was much colder than Urashiki, Momoshiki, and the others.

"Lord Urashiki is dead? Hasn't he always been in Suna ninja Village? He even said that he will secretly control Suna ninja Village..." Ryuzetsu was shocked.

The Otsutsuki clan from the unknown world beyond the heavens had actually lost a clansman.

This was something Ryuzetsu did not dare to imagine.

"I'm not surprised. That guy is arrogant. Even if he is a little more cautious than Momoshiki and the others, he is only collecting information. His nature has not changed."

Isshiki snorted coldly. "Right now, I am not sure if that idiot has found a good vessel in advance... There is a high chance that he is not. After entering the second form, his thoughts are wild and driven by instinct. He does not have that kind of brain."

Therefore, Urashiki was probably the first real dead Otsutsuki.

The kind that would dissipate without even having a chance to reincarnate.

"It's the kind that has never come. It's still incomplete. Dying here won't have much of an effect." Isshiki said coldly.

"Sir, didn't you say before that even if Lord Urashiki had turned into that tragic state, he would still be of great use? Moreover, you even risked waking up last time and rescued him from the hands of two experts." Ryuzetsu was respectful.

"He was indeed useful before, but at that time, I was also hesitating about whether or not to make use of him..."

Feeding this kind of Urashiki to Little Jūbi, the strength of God Tree who had evolved from Jūbi was limited.

Even Jūbi, who had been dismembered by Rikudou Sennin, had eaten more than half of Isshiki and absorbed many years of natural energy.

Isshiki estimated that if his Jūbi ate half of Urashiki,

It still can't absorb natural energy like a thousand years ago...

Only a ghost would know how much power this God Tree could unleash.

"Speaking of which, it's all that bitch Kaguya's fault. A thousand years ago, We didn't have any strong people on this planet. As long as it spent some time, it could absorb all the natural energy." Isshiki said.

Although he was ambushed by Kaguya and almost became Jūbi's food, strictly speaking, he was not very angry.

Even if Kaguya didn't make a move, he would make the first move and feed Kaguya to Jūbi. The relationship between the two was extremely subtle.

What really made Isshiki dissatisfied was that Kaguya, that stupid woman, had obtained God Tree and planted God Tree. She only needed to endure for a few more years to turn this planet into a dead planet, and the mission would be completed.

But what was the result?

This fool did not want to destroy this planet, and even gave birth to two children in fear, wanting to fight against Otsutsuki's other clansmen.

That was fine, but in the end, he still had to guide the thoughts of the two children.

In the end, a native monster took advantage of this opportunity to brainwash Hagoromo and Hamura, inciting these two people to rebel and stab Kaguya in the back.

The goal of planting the tree was not achieved, and the purpose of absorbing some natural energy to improve his strength was not achieved. He even became a big villain in the eyes of the natives and was betrayed by his two sons.

He wanted to touch both of them, but he did not hold both of them.

Isshiki thought about it and felt that Kaguya was hopelessly stupid.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Ryuzetsu asked.

"Wait, I found another pure-blooded Otsutsuki clansman who hasn't died completely. This is very good. When he and I successfully reincarnate and return to our peak, I will feed him to Jūbi and plant God Tree again. At that time, no one can stop me."

Isshiki glanced at Long She. "Continue to look after and protect Karin. Don't disappoint me."

Ryuzetsu respectfully agreed.

Isshiki's consciousness fell silent.

Ryuzetsu looked at the sleeping Karin and immediately sat down to carry out her guard mission.

...

Konohagakure.

Kazue took out a scroll, collected Urashiki's body and sealed it. She planned to bring it back to Yuuji.

She had too many things to ask Yuuji.

"Who?" Izumi suddenly looked in a direction.

"It's me... I found out that Kazue Sensei were here, so I came to take a look."

Yakumo carefully walked out from behind a tree.

"You are Kurama Yakumo, sister's disciple?" Izumi was taken aback and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yakumo nodded carefully: "I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"Just focus on the exam. Don't run around, especially look after your other self." Kazue scolded.

Yakumo agreed. "I know. It hasn't been making any more noise recently... But I didn't expect that Sensei has already mastered the art of turning illusory into reality. You're really amazing."

Kazue shook his head and sent Izumi back to the clan to recuperate. Only then did he bring Urashiki's corpse to Yuuji.

"Very good. It seems that everything went smoothly." Yuuji casually glanced at Urashiki's corpse and nodded.

"All of this was arranged by you, right? Many years ago, you arranged for Yamanaka Fuu to be by Izumi's side and then used Yamanaka Fuu to stimulate Izumi's eyes?"

"That's right. It was originally just a try. I didn't expect it to really succeed... Izumi is different from you. Back then, when you awakened Mangekyou Sharingan, it was because you were in a desperate situation. The most effective way for Izumi to open Mangekyou was not to put her in a dangerous situation, but to put her companion that she trust in danger." Yuuji explained.

"It has been arranged for several years, just for a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan... This kind of wisdom is really beyond my reach."

Kazue sat on the chair below and asked doubtfully, "But I don't understand. With your current strength, you don't need Izumi at all, right? At the very least, Shisui and the others can be used by you."

And these people, in the battle against Otsutsuki's clan, it was very difficult to play an important role.

The gap between Kage level and Rikudou Sennin was too great.

"Not for Kage level, but for you." Yuuji said.

"For... me?"

Kazue frowned, and then her eyes lit up. her heart beat faster. "Could it be that you..."

"That's right, it has something to do with Rinnegan." Yuuji was straightforward.

"Ah..."

"What kind of attitude is this? Do you really think that I lack a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan? Don't forget, I have also taken away Urashiki's Rinnegan. I haven't thought of how to use it yet." Yuuji said.

"Then let me use it. With my strength, I should be able to support a pair of Rinnegan." Kazue sat back down and said seriously.

"No, this pair of eyes does not belong to you. I said it before, Izumi has Mangekyou Sharingan, and it is closely related to you... The two of you are blood relatives." Yuuji looked at Kazue meaningfully.

Kazue still didn't understand.

"Do you remember the person you guys besieged in the clan land that day? He is the future Uchiha Sasuke. However, the historical trajectory he is in is very different from our world," Yuuji said.

Kazue widened her eyes in shock.

In an instant, she quickly recalled a lot of information and began to analyze it.

"That future Sasuke's eyes are like a combination of two different patterns..." A chill arose in Kazue's heart.

"Yes, that is the new eye that was born after he merged with Itachi's eyes - the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Eternal... Mangekyou?" Kazue subconsciously covered her eyes.

She understood.

The normal Mangekyou Sharingan would gradually lose her sight as the number of times she used it and the intensity of her use increased. Kazue knew this.

Compared to the past few years, her current vision had greatly declined, so she did not use Mangekyou Sharingan too often.

As for the eternal Mangekyou, she could guess what it meant from the literal meaning.

"Rinnegan does not seem to have the risk of losing sight. So, Rinnegan is actually the eternal Mangekyou who advanced? The eternal Mangekyou is the real middle stage? Kazue was stunned.

She did not expect this result at all.

Yuuji said lightly, "Yes, it seems that you have thought it through. Now you know why I am not willing to tell you how to open Rinnegan, right? Kazue, can you bear this kind of price? Sacrifice your sister and dig up her Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Kazue was stunned on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.

She had never thought of such a possibility.

She had to dig out the eyes of her kin before she could evolve her own eyes?

How could there be such a ridiculous method of advancement in this world!

"Madara dug out his own brother's eyes, and Sasuke obtained his own brother's eyes. Both of them obtained the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Kazue, now it's your turn to make a choice."

Yuuji looked at Kazue, and his voice was flat. "A pair of eternal Mangekyou needs to sacrifice two ordinary pairs of Mangekyou. This is the way your clan can obtain greater strength."

As he spoke, he rubbed Urashiki's corpse and finally found a strange turtle.

Kazue's mind was in a mess. She didn't even know when she left Root's base.

Is that so? So that's how it is?

This was the reason why Yuuji refused to tell her the truth...

Kazue's expression was very ugly.

When they arrived at the clan.

A group of clansmen rushed over to inspect and discuss Izumi's eyes.

Their faces were filled with joy.

However, in Kazue's eyes, the smiles of these people were slowly twisting, as if they were... mocking.

Of course, the mockery was fake.

"Kazue, you're back? I heard that the two of you killed a Otsutsuki who invaded the examination room. You're really amazing!"

"That's right, that guy is the guy that Lord Yuuji failed to kill completely, right? He actually died in your hands. Even Lord Yuuji did not do this!"

"Izumi also has Mangekyou Sharingan. Our clan is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Shut up, She should be called Lord Izumi!"

Fugaku and the others noticed that there was something wrong with Kazue's expression.

"Senior Kazue, are you too tired?" Shisui asked.

"No, I'm fine." Kazue pushed the crowd away and walked to Izumi's bed.

"Sister, you're here." Izumi looked at Kazue happily.

Just like she had done for many years in the past, she was full of dependence on Kazue.

"... You should take good care of yourself. If you can not use those eyes, you don't need to. "

After speaking, Kazue turned around and walked out amidst the sound of astonishment.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why Kazue was in such a bad mood and why she said such inexplicable words.

Fugaku chased after her, wanting to have a chat.

Kazue shook her head, "Clan Leader, I'm afraid that the trouble you've encountered is even greater than mine."

His two sons were killing each other... Furthermore, he did not know if the clan leader had died in that future or if his two sons had dug their eyes out.

Fugaku looked at Kazue in confusion.

What happened?

...

Izumi opened her eyes, and the news of Urashiki being killed quickly spread into the ears of Yondaime.

When Minato heard this news, he raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised.

"Hokage, what happened?" Rasa asked.

"No, it's just a small matter. It's not a big deal." Minato said calmly.

Time passed.

The second exam ended and the top thirty-two people were chosen to enter the third exam.

When all the examinees walked out of the forest, almost everyone focused their gazes on Naruto, full of awe.

Naruto faced these gazes and was extremely calm. He was already used to being the center of attention. Not only did he not feel uneasy, he even felt that these people were very annoying.

"Damn it..." Gaara was covered in dirt and looked haggard as he stared at Naruto.

"Trash will only have the courage to look at me in such an occasion." Naruto crossed his arms and sneered.

"... " Gaara was silent. This was the first time he had been defeated so miserably. The key was that the other party did not even show his true strength.

The Naruto Bijuu had not even used his transformation yet, yet he had defeated the completely transformed Ichibi and chased him away like he was chasing a dog.

Gaara was greatly humilated, and his self-esteem had suffered an unprecedented blow.

But he had no other choice.

"Naruto, don't say that. After all, it is our village's ally."

Most of the others remained silent, and they were so shocked that they did not dare to speak.

Sasuke walked forward and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.

"Hmph, allied countries? A country rich in trash has no value in joining forces. This kind of country, this kind of village, should obediently kneel down and tremble in front of us, just like what these people are doing now."

Naruto pointed at the crowd.

Many people changed their expressions, but in the end, they endured the humiliation and tightly shut their mouths.

Sasuke sighed. "There is no need to be like this..."

Naruto interrupted Sasuke. "You are not in the same tier as these trash. Put away your boring Holy Mother Heart. With this time, you might as well hurry up and cultivate. Don't get too far away from me."

Sasuke frowned. "Naruto, you're going too far."

Hinata walked out and stood beside Naruto. "Sasuke, what position do you have to criticize Naruto? Strength is the key to everything. There is nothing wrong with that."

"I'm not saying that it's wrong to be strong. I'm talking about his attitude..." Sasuke hurriedly said.

Yaku was also standing not far from Sasuke. She looked at Naruto with a burning gaze. She seemed to be full of admiration for Naruto. "Naruto, don't be so sad.."

As long as Naruto saw Yakumo, he would feel annoyed for no reason.

Soon after, the third exam began.

Many geniuses displayed their talents in front of the experts and messengers of various villages. The battle was extremely intense.

Many of the battles made Jonin, who was leading the team on the stage, break out in a cold sweat. He felt that he would have lose if he ended up in the battle.

"Are all the brat nowadays so powerful?"

"There's nothing I can do. There are too many monsters. Just Jinchuriki alone ? has two of them, let alone a few fellows who are no weaker than Jinchuriki of the same age."

The intense elimination round went on and on.
