Flying for an entire day.
At seven o'clock in the evening.
Rokuro landed.
Asuma only said that the people from the Uchiha clan were gathering herbs on a mountain twenty kilometers away from Konoha Village, but Rokuro didn't know the exact location.
What he could do.
Was to send out a large number of mud mice to search for the other party.
He himself.
Naturally couldn't show his face.
Otherwise, if Hiruzen asked about it later, it would be hard for him to find an excuse and say he didn't know anything.
However.
If the Uchiha clan wanted to ambush him, they wouldn't be too far from the road. It would definitely be in the mountains on both sides of the road, and in those kinds of places that were easy for laying an ambush.
And these kinds of locations suitable for ambushing.
On the road back to Konoha Village, there were only two.
With these clues, the search radius was greatly reduced. The mud mice he sent out spent two hours completely searching through the locations suitable for an ambush.
However!
The mud mice didn't find any clues.
In those two places suitable for ambushing, there was absolutely no one hiding.
This kind of result!
Rokuro was naturally dissatisfied.
He was highly covetous of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.
Having a chance to get them, he was naturally unwilling to give up. Therefore, he dispatched the mud mice once again, expanding the search radius, determined to fish those four people out.
Early morning.
Rokuro, who was currently resting, suddenly opened his eyes.
One of the mud mice he let out had been killed. Its location was two kilometers ahead, right on the main road back to Konoha Village. This made him feel it was somewhat bizarre.
If the ones who killed the mud mouse were from the Uchiha clan.
Then why would they be on the main road back to Konoha Village? This didn't quite fit logic.
That main road.
Although not many people walked on it at night.
During the day it was bustling with people coming and going; it was fundamentally unsuitable for an ambush.
Unless the Uchiha clan wanted to rebel, only then would they dare to kill him openly and aboveboard.
But right now!
The Uchiha clan clearly hadn't rebelled.
Otherwise, why find an excuse to assassinate him? They could just kill him directly.
He couldn't figure it out.
He still had to go investigate a bit.
The mud mouse's death definitely had something wrong with it.
The probability of a wild beast accidentally killing a mud mouse was lower than winning the lottery.
Someone must have made a move and killed his mud mouse. He had to go over and see exactly who it was!
Toward the mud mouse's location of death.
Rokuro quietly snuck over.
Just two kilometers.
For him, he arrived very quickly.
He didn't appear directly, but instead hid nearby to observe.
Very quickly!
He saw the dead mud mouse.
It was pinned to the side of the main road by a kunai.
Sure enough, it was killed by someone.
Who exactly was it?
Rokuro prepared to release a mud mouse to search the vicinity.
Just as he formed a seal.
He saw the tiny dead mud mouse's body start to twist continuously, gradually growing taller, forming a mud figure, and finally, the mud figure transformed into a ninja wearing an Anbu mask.
Looking at that mask.
It was a Konoha Anbu mask.
The other party stood on the road, looking right at the direction where he was hiding.
Has he already been discovered?
Rokuro frowned, and simply walked out from his hiding spot to the side of the road. Staring at the Anbu ninja, he said, "Not bad Genjutsu ability. Are you someone the old man sent to look for me?!"
The Anbu ninja looked at Rokuro and said calmly, "What are you doing in this kind of place? Why haven't you returned to the village?!"
Rokuro narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. "Since you are here, isn't that asking when you already know the answer? Someone wants to kill me, so naturally, I also have to find an opportunity to kill them!"
The Anbu ninja fell silent for a while and said, "We are all Konoha ninjas. Is there really such a huge hatred?!"
Rokuro rolled his eyes. "If I wanted to kill you, would you just stand here and wait for death without resisting? If you let me stab you to death with one strike, then I won't seek revenge!"
The Anbu ninja remained silent for a long time before speaking, "The people from the Uchiha clan have already been taken back. Lord Hokage asked me to come here and wait for you. Come with me to see Lord Hokage!"
Fuck!
That son of a bitch Hiruzen, his movements were truly fast.
My Sharingan, ah!
If he wanted to get them next time, who knew how long he would have to wait.
Rokuro was somewhat depressed and waved his hand. "Understood. No need for you to lead the way, I'll go back myself!"
The Anbu ninja didn't move, but instead looked at Rokuro and said, "Before returning to Konoha, Lord Hokage asked me to teach you a lesson, to let you know your own limits."
Rokuro cast a glance at the Anbu ninja and became vigilant.
