Chapter 23
, 2nd Teak Door
"[Them]? What are they?"
After hearing Fengtian's words, Shisui and Scorpion asked in unison.
The two were completely bewildered at this moment, but judging from Fengtian's expression, their strength must be very strong. Even the usually mysterious Fengtian frowned when he talked about this.
"They are a group of terrifyingly powerful pursuers..."
"Many times, just when I thought the world was ending, they always managed to appear in time and disrupt my plans..."
"If I remember correctly, this is my sixth time..."
Fengtian spoke with a worried expression, his eyes filled with concern.
It was precisely because of their relentless pursuit that Fengtian focused all his newly acquired skills on "survival" methods.
Whether it was the previous Flying Thunder God Technique or this time's Kamui Hollowfication, both were designed to cope with the uncertain future.
After Fengtian finished speaking, Shisui and Scorpion looked completely bewildered.
They understood every single word Fengtian said, but when put together, they were completely baffled.
"Alright, it's not a big problem. Let's proceed as I said before..."
"However, this time it might be a tough trip for Shisui..."
After Fengtian finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhishui, but there was a trace of guilt in his eyes.
"For that grand plan, this sacrifice is nothing..."
Zhi Shui spoke with a determined expression, then quickly left before the two could see him. He was going to complete the mission assigned by Fengtian.
"Tch, what a pointless thing to do..."
Scorpion muttered unhappily as he saw Shisui move.
He merely glanced at Fengtian, sighed softly, then tidied up his puppets, preparing to go to the place arranged by Fengtian to lay an ambush.
After seeing the two move, Fengtian followed behind Scorpion.
The arrangements he had to make were far more complicated than those for Scorpion, but there was nothing he could do about it, since he was the nominal leader of the Twilight organization.
Others only need to focus on fighting, while he has to consider many other things...
...
Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning
"Hey, you two Yukimon-sama, are you serious?"
"Hey, Killer Bee, when are you going to be serious? According to the information from Sunagakure, this isn't as simple as it seems..."
The two teak-wooden figures rested their chins on their hands, staring at Killer Bee, who was still singing, dancing, and rapping in front of them, their faces full of black lines.
"Yo~ yo~, Yuki-mon-sama, there's no need for you to be so nervous about this~"
"In Kumogakure, with me and my beloved ~ Onii-chan protecting us, everything else is trivial~"
Killer Bee didn't seem nervous at all because of Yukito's words; on the contrary, he remained optimistic and continued singing, dancing, and rapping in his bizarre poses...
"I'm serious, Killer Bee! As a Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast as well, I think you should take this matter seriously too!"
Yukimon suppressed her temper and continued, saying that in her opinion, the fact that the One-Tailed Beast's chakra had been drained by a mysterious organization was not good news for them, the Jinchūriki.
Since the opponent was able to successfully extract the One-Tailed Chakra from the heavily guarded Sunagakure, it means that the opponent's strength must be considerable!
Although the overall strength of Kumogakure is greater than that of Sunagakure, they still need to take these unknown organizations and their unknown purposes seriously!
"Yo~ Yukimon-sama, my onii-chan and I are the strongest brother duo in this ninja world~"
"Whatever organization they are—they can't cause any trouble in front of us!"
"Why..."
Upon hearing this, Yukimon was completely defeated by Killer Bee's incredibly optimistic attitude. She began to regret why she had chosen to talk to Killer Bee alone; it was clearly a waste of time.
Recently, she has clearly sensed something inexplicable. Although she has not actually discovered anything, her intuition tells her that she is being closely monitored.
That's why she came to see Killer Bee; she also wanted to know if Killer Bee had sensed anything strange lately.
However, not only did they gain nothing, but they also wasted so much time. Just as the teak door was about to say something more, they realized that Killer Bee had already disappeared...
"It seems we still need to ask the Third Raikage, Lord A, about this."
"I wonder if he's had time to pay attention to these things lately..."
Standing in the empty corridor, Teak Door sighed inwardly at the impermanence of life, and was about to turn around and head to the Third Raikage's office.
However, the moment this thought crossed her mind, her body involuntarily froze, and an inexplicable sense of crisis came like a chilling icy chill.
She turned around abruptly, her sharp eyes seemingly able to pierce through the void, staring intently at a dark corner.
However, her response was not words, but several kunai flashing with a cold light, like shooting stars in the dark night, breaking the silence and coming swiftly with a deadly threat.
A hint of surprise flashed in Teak Door's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, outlining a faint smile.
Her figure moved like a gentle breeze, her movements swift and clean, without the slightest hesitation. The kunai, which would have been deadly, all missed their mark thanks to her skillful evasion.
"It seems you arrived a little faster than I expected..."
The teak door opened its mouth slightly, its voice low and gloomy.
The next moment, a figure appeared suddenly in front of her like a ghost.
Looking closely, the man was dressed as a Konoha ninja, with a handsome face and a short sword on his back.
This person is none other than Uchiha Shisui, an elite ninja of the Uchiha clan in Konoha.
"I see, so that mysterious organization that extracts the chakra of the tailed beasts is from Konoha!"
Teak Door's tone was tinged with disbelief, but even more so with anger and disappointment.
Her eyes flashed with disgust, as if all her goodwill towards Konoha had vanished in that instant.
"Tch! What a bunch of hypocrites!"
The voice from the teak door was full of sarcasm and disdain, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
However, Shisui remained unmoved by her sarcasm. His face remained calm as still water. He slowly drew the short sword from his back, the blade gleaming with a faint, cold light, as if it could freeze everything.
At the same time, his eyes switched to the [Three-Tomoe Sharingan], revealing endless killing intent and determination.
The sword tip lightly touched the ground, yet it seemed to cause the entire space to tremble, and a chilling killing intent quietly spread out...
