Chapter 298: Three More to Go!

With the success of the sneak attack, Tsukihi was about to weave the hand signs to launch a fire-style Jutsu, but upon noticing that the Dark Chakra coming off from Shinno had suddenly intensified, and his muscles have again started to wiggle, Tsukihi immediately stopped and withdrew backward.

Drip… Drip… Drip…

As the Katana was suddenly pulled out of Shinno's chest, some blood sprouted out of the wound, as well as from Shinno's mouth, and dripped on the ground.

But it soon started to heal, however, Shinno was angered, and covering the still healing wound, Shinno spoke with a gloomy tone, "How dare you…!"

He didn't expect that he would be affected by a Genjutsu even with Moryo sealed inside him.

Tsukihi did not care about Shinno's gloomy tone, she just casually waved her Katana to get rid of the blood on it, and without saying a word, she was analyzing Shinno's changes, especially how his injury was being healed rapidly.

This attack was just a preemptive one, as Tsukihi need to understand the degree of Shinno's regeneration.

It must not be forgotten that the Secret Technique of Physical Regeneration that was passed onto Kuroto by Orochimaru was obtained from Shinno, so Shinno must know how to use that technique perfectly, there is also a possibility that Shinno is also using the Chimera technique, and coupled with the fact that he has also swallowed Moryo, so it is understandable killing him won't be an easy task.

And as expected, within just short few seconds, the stabbed wound on Shinno's chest completely disappeared, but the muscles on his body were still squirming.

Tsukihi's squinted, immediately turned around, and ran away in the opposite direction to of Yui, Shion, and Taruho.

"Want to escape??" – Shinno's eyes were already red by now, and his expression was full of anger.

The stab wound a moment ago did not cause any substantial damage to his body, but the fact that his damn Uchiha bitch has repeatedly annoyed him, angered Shinno, especially when he was immersed in the feeling of infinite power.

And seeing that this damn bitch now wants to run away, how can Shinno allow such a thing to happen?

Smash… Boom… Break… Crack…

The angered Shinno completely disregarded the houses and walls, and like an uncontrolled bull, rushed straight towards Uchiha Tsukihi, everything that came in his path was demolished causing loud sounds to reach even the far end of the village.

Uchiha Tsukihi who was running in the front glanced back, and for a while she was stunned by Shinno's physical strength, being able to demolish houses so easily is not a joke, you know.

But what made Tsukihi more surprised was Shinno's stupid behavior, it's true that demolishing houses so easily is not a joke, but it's not that big of a deal either, but the fact that Shinno is doing so is pure foolishness because doing so will only attract the attention of others here, which is obviously not conducive to his objective.

'Is his mentality somehow affected by Moryo?' – a momentary thought appeared in Tsukihi's mind.

Because this is indeed a possibility.

Tsukihi can be sure that the dark and evil chakra of Moryo is significantly higher than the mere Reibi that Shinno used in the Cannon, and Moryo is pure evil, and it is impossible that there would be no complications of swallowing Moryo.

At least, ordinary people should not be able to resist the spiritual erosion caused by Moryo, and considering the foolish behavior of Shinno, it is very likely that his mind is being passively affected by Moryo.

But looking at all the houses collapsed by Shinno, Tsukihi noticed one common thing, each house was empty, which means that all the residents have evacuated somewhere.

Tsukihi can't figure out the exact reason for Sandaime to issue such an order.

This is because such an order of emergency evacuation is not issued unless the village is in existential crisis, and Tsukihi can't figure out what exactly happened that prompted Sandaime to issue such an order.

It couldn't be that some other Shinobi village launched a surprise attack because there are no noises of fighting anywhere.

"What exactly happened in the village in my absence?" – muttered Tsukihi.

After some thinking, Tsukihi thought of one possibility, 'Is it somehow related to Uchiha Clan launching a Coup d'état?'

Considering Shinno's daring infiltration within the village, there is also a possibility that Akatsuki planned all this and put all the blame on the Uchiha Clan.

…

On the side of Team-11.

As Kakashi who was still in his Dog Anbu gear waited for the response, the Anbu who wore the Eagle mask said, "Hmm… it most likely is a trap… I am not hundred percent sure as there is something hindering with my perception, captain!"

Dog frowned, "Most Likely?"

Cat quickly said in a low whisper, "Captain, let me rescue him, if it is me, then even if it is a trap it won't be effective on me."

Dog glanced at the young Kunoichi who was wearing the eagle mask, and had purple hair, then turned to Cat, and nodded, "Alright, but be careful."

With the captain's nod, Cat's figure disappeared and instantly appeared on the grass about four or five meters away from the tree on which Uzumaki Naruto was tied up.

When Uzumaki Naruto saw the sudden arrival of this ninja who wore a strange cat mask, he tried to struggle more and tried to speak many things, but for some reason, no coherent sound came.

Cat activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and observed his surroundings, no traps were present nearby, but that simply doesn't make sense.

With a doubtful look, Cat turned towards Naruto and still saw that there were no traps.

At this time, Cat was a bit confused, but regardless, he cautiously walked towards the tied-up Uzumaki Naruto, and just when he tried to cut the rope through which Uzumaki Naruto was tied, he suddenly heard the sound of exploding tag burning.

Hiss…

Suddenly hearing the sound of exploding tag being lit, Cat did not care about his own safety, hurriedly cut the rope, removed Uzumaki Naruto's jacket, threw it upwards, and immediately shielded Naruto.

Boom… Boom… Boom…

In an instant, a series of violent explosions engulfed the area where Cat and Uzumaki Naruto were present.

Dog was shocked and worried, the three tomoe in his Sharingan were spinning, and he rushed forward, trying to check out Cat and Uzumaki Naruto's situation.

At this time, a spiraling whirl appeared behind the Eagle Masked Kunoichi, and a hand stretched out from the spiraling whirl.

"One solved, three more to go!"
