Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 157 Kill this Uchiha

The five fingers of his right hand slowly closed, and the immense force caused Black Zetsu's neck to begin to deform. However, Black Zetsu showed no fear, and his tone remained deep.

"The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan must be incredibly wonderful, hehehe. Enjoy it; it's the key to unlocking your future."

"The Mangekyou Sharingan? It seems you're no ordinary deceivers. Tell me everything you know!"

Tetsuka stared into Black Zetsu's eyes with his Sharingan, preparing to use genjutsu to obtain information. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, used his right hand to twist Black Zetsu's neck.

Black Zetsu's body transformed into a white, humanoid substance, which was then thrown to the ground by Tetsuka.

Not far away, Black Zetsu emerged from underground.

"Don't be so hostile. We are not your enemies. Come back with me, and under Madara's tutelage, you will have the power to change the world."

Who exactly is this person?

What a troublesome fellow.

The situation is too strange. My injuries haven't healed yet, so I should leave this place first and start investigating slowly.

What's going on with those eyes, and with the family and the village?

There are too many questions that need to be answered.

Ironfire did not respond to Black Zetsu's invitation. He observed his surroundings, faced Black Zetsu, and slowly retreated, disappearing silently into the night sky.

Watching Tie Huo leave, Hei Jue made no attempt to stop him.

For Black Zetsu, the current situation is quite good.

Given Tetsuka's current mental state, it will be difficult for him to integrate into Konoha. Sooner or later, he will go down the path of extreme pursuit of power and will be completely unable to escape Black Zetsu's grasp.

Even if something unexpected happens and Ironfire leaks information about Madara, only Madara will suffer the loss, not Black Zetsu.

Tetsuka is Ban's tool.

Madara was just a tool of Black Zetsu.

After thinking for a moment, Black Zetsu also left, as he needed to return and report to Madara.

The entire process was witnessed by a frog.

"Black Zetsu took a liking to Ironfire, Ironfire attacked Black Zetsu, and Ironfire left. It seems that Black Zetsu has not succeeded in fooling Ironfire. I wonder what Ironfire will do next."

Although Kyosuke couldn't hear their conversation because of the distance, and even their figures were somewhat blurry, he could still roughly tell what had happened based on their movements.

"Who should we follow? Hmm, Madara is almost dead, and Black Zetsu has too many backup plans. Following him would be both dangerous and pointless. On the contrary, we need to carefully evaluate this unexpected guy, Tetsuya."

Kyosuke's shadow clone crawled out of the toad's mouth and chased after Tetsuka.

Because he was wary of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Kyosuke didn't dare to get close to Tetsuhi, and only knew roughly how Tetsuhi traveled based on various traces.

The next day, Kyosuke felt something was wrong; his shadow clone hadn't arrived yet.

It seems there has been a major discovery.

Kyosuke smiled and said, "Shisui, let's expand our search area today and hopefully find some trace of Tetsuha's disappearance."

"Yes."

Even after a day without finding any clues, Zhi Shui remained neither impatient nor discouraged.

Such is the nature of investigative tasks; they require immense patience and meticulous attention to detail.

Often, investigations uncover nothing, which is why success is so valuable.

The place where Tetsuka fought yesterday wasn't too far from Kyosuke and the others, and they quickly discovered the battlefield.

Shisui stood on a high cliff, looking at a lake in the distance, and felt incredible.

"Impossible. According to the map, there shouldn't be a lake here."

The lake is surrounded by vast, flat areas of forest and grassland, with no rivers or valleys.

It's normal for this type of terrain to have puddles and pools, but if there's too much water, it will flow everywhere and it's difficult to form a lake.

Moreover, this lake is so perfectly round that it looks like it was drawn by man, which is extremely difficult to form in nature.

Could these be signs of a battle?

That shouldn't be the case. In the memories brought back by the shadow clone, neither side had such great power.

It seems that things have taken a huge turn, and we can only wait for the second shadow clone to bring back the information.

Kyosuke nodded seriously: "This place is strange, let's go take a look!"

After spending some time scouting around the lake, they learned that a major battle had taken place there.

"The surrounding trees were destroyed, and even the sturdy blades were broken. One side used a powerful ninjutsu."

Shisui held the broken kunai in his hand, unable to figure out what kind of ninjutsu had caused this.

Kyosuke squatted by the lake and dipped his hand into the water.

The lake water was very clear, containing only some tree and flower debris, and no other living things.

Grab a handful of mud and sand from the bottom of the lake, rub it between your fingers, and the mud and sand will flow smoothly through your fingers.

"The surrounding ground is very muddy, and the lake water is too clean. It must have rained heavily here yesterday, and the rainwater has gathered here to form a lake."

Upon hearing Kyosuke's words, Shisui's expression changed.

"If the battle happened yesterday, it was most likely Tian Jian and his group!"

Kyosuke nodded solemnly.

"That's right, let's search quickly, hopefully we can find survivors."

While the two were searching, Kyosuke received the memories of the shadow clone and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Oh, so that's what happened."

Kyosuke thought for a moment and then made an excuse to send Shisui away.

"This matter is of great importance. You must go back and report to the Hokage. I will stay here to continue investigating."

"Yes!"

Shisui felt touched, seeing it as Kyosuke's way of looking out for him.

Perhaps the unknown enemy is not far away; staying here is definitely more dangerous than going back to report.

After sending Shisui away, Kyosuke began his pursuit of Tetsuka.

According to memory, Tetsuka stopped not far from Konoha yesterday, seemingly to rest.

After all, a lot has happened in the past two days, and Tiehuo needs time to sort things out and formulate future plans.

At the same time, he also had to treat his injuries and carefully examine his body to prevent someone from plotting against him while he was unconscious.

Just as Tiehuo had imagined, he had a health problem.

A deeply hidden chakra energy resides in his heart.

"Damn it, this is difficult to handle! This is the only one I've discovered; there might be other, more hidden problems!"

At this moment, Tiehuo felt a deep loneliness.

He didn't know who to talk to or who to ask for help; it seemed that no one was trustworthy.

The only thing I can trust is these eyes; they possess an unparalleled power!

"First, find a way to heal your injuries, then sneak back into the family to review the records and completely master this power!"

While Tetsuka was resting, Kyosuke had already infiltrated the vicinity and entered the dream world to communicate with everyone.

"That's the situation. I'm monitoring Tiehuo now. You guys figure out what to do. I'm going back to continue monitoring."

Kyosuke had run at top speed for a long time to find Tetsuka, and now he wasn't in a good mental state, so he explained the situation and left immediately.

Mi Shou's attitude was very simple.

"Ironfire is a huge threat and must be killed as soon as possible."

The others nodded in agreement.

Chisuke: "That's right. Apart from us, the world doesn't need too many ambitious people."

Kiichiro: "The more extreme the Uchiha clan, the stronger they become; if they cannot be controlled, they will be destroyed."

After Ooka Nobu's death, their attitude collectively turned conservative, and they were extremely averse to uncertain dangers.

The question is, what method will they use to solve the problem of the iron fire?
