Chapter 889 While it's hot
Chapter 889 While it's hot
The office of the Uchiha clan chief.
"Chief, something has happened!"
The sounds from the outside world quickly brought Qianyao back to his senses.
He opened his eyes and looked at Yusuke who came in to report: "What is it?"
"Dragon Tongue is dead, but Immaculate has emerged from the room."
Qianyao nodded, as if he had expected it: "Let's go take a look."
"Yes."
Qianyao quickly returned to the guest room, and before he even reached the door, he heard heart-wrenching cries from inside.
"...Why, why were you so stupid, Dragon Tongue!"
"What's the point of my life without you...?"
Qianyao walked in and saw that Longshe, who had been alive and well just moments before, was now a corpse.
Wugou was weeping bitterly while holding the corpse of Longshe.
He only glanced at the storage scroll next to him and knew that Longshe had brought Wugou's corpse with him.
Qianyao reached out and snatched the crumpled letter from Wugou's hand.
That was Longshe's will.
After skipping over the content about love and affection with Wugou, the content is quite simple.
It was Longshe who used the Dragon Life Reincarnation technique to revive Wugou, allowing Wugou to live a good life.
Wugou and Longshe have been childhood sweethearts and are now discussing marriage.
Given their already deep bond, Longshe even risked his life to save Wugou.
Wu Gou felt as if the whole world had collapsed. The young man in his twenties cried like a child.
Qianyao reached out and pushed Wugou aside, then picked up Longshe's corpse.
Wu Gou stared blankly at Qian Yao, wondering what he was going to do: "Lord Qian Yao, you...?"
Qianyao uttered a sentence that shut Wugou up:
"Don't stop me from saving people."
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Really...really?"
Qianyao briefly checked the dragon tongue's vital signs.
The dragon tongue died after its life force was completely depleted, confirming that it was reborn using the dragon's life force.
After all, he uses this ability frequently and knows it very well.
Qianyao didn't say much to Wugou, but simply said naturally:
"As I said before, you saved my life back then, so I will naturally not be stingy if I have a way."
With that, Qianyao tossed the corpse to Wugou:
"Come with me, while it's hot."
As he spoke, Qianyao couldn't help but chuckle, "Isn't this a good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot?"
However, Wugou was completely immersed in the joy of Longshe being able to be saved and did not notice anything amiss with Qianyao's words.
"Yes, Lord Qianyao."
Wu Gou picked up Long She's corpse and quickly followed behind Qian Yao.
Chiyo quickly left the guest room area and arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory.
……
Basha City.
As the city closest to Konoha's stronghold, its defense level has recently been raised to the highest level.
And many ninjas began to hide in the city.
It's because the people of Sunagakure are also afraid.
They fear that Konoha might launch a direct attack like Minato Namikaze did last time.
Alternatively, Minato Namikaze, the suspected Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, could unleash a Tailed Beast Ball directly at the city.
So the current state of Basha City is very strange; the city is full of people with their heads covered and faces masked.
This group includes Sunagakure, Konoha, and even other forces that want to gather information; some of these forces are even from different factions.
The whole city was in complete chaos.
Sasuke's current temporary team also came here to gather intelligence after recovering from their injuries.
The more complex the situation, the greater the test for people.
However, Sasuke, Kiba, and Shino were clearly not very skilled at infiltration and did not obtain much information.
None of them ventured into the city rashly, for with their strength, they could not enter and leave at will.
In the shadows of the outer wall, Sasuke and Kiba were waiting for Shino.
They had just been targeted by an unfamiliar force, and after splitting up to shake off those people, they agreed to meet here.
"It's really inconvenient not to bring Akamaru, otherwise we would have been discovered the moment we were being watched."
Kiba Inuzuka muttered under his breath.
Sasuke glanced at Kiba, wanting to say that Kiba was too dependent on Akamaru, but he swallowed the words back.
Those are someone else's partners, and it's also a combat habit that's been around for many years. It's inappropriate to say that.
He himself relies heavily on the Sharingan.
“Akamaru is injured after all, so there’s no need to push him. Anyway, we’ll definitely come back here many more times.”
Sasuke comforted him, his eyes bloodshot as he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.
At first, he didn't understand why he had to team up with these people who weren't from his own tribe.
After the last two missions, Sasuke had come to some understanding.
Although his own strength has far surpassed that of Shino and Kiba.
However, both Shino and Kiba possess many strange and unusual abilities.
There are many things that even with his strength, he still cannot do.
On the contrary, working closely with these teammates allowed him to easily solve some complex problems, which also gave him a lot of inspiration in terms of combat flexibility.
Kiba agreed with Sasuke's words.
"It won't be long before this city is taken over by Konoha."
Sasuke was naturally very confident: "With Master here, it's just a matter of time."
Speaking of this, Ya asked quietly:
"Sasuke, I remember Karin used to be your senior, what happened to her...?"
Sasuke looked somewhat helpless. When Karin first came to the clan, she was a timid junior sister, but she soon became a quirky and clever senior sister.
Over the past few years, I've seen my strength catch up with my senior sister, whose body developed ahead of her time, and she's now a super senior.
"Who can understand matters of the heart? I don't even know when Karin started to like Master."
"Anyway, Master has already accepted it and announced his engagement to Karin, so this matter is settled."
"So, Karin will be the Fifth Hokage's wife from now on?"
Kiba Inuzuka exclaimed in surprise.
Sasuke had already accepted this fact: "Yes, that's how it will be after Master and Karin get married."
Kiba Inuzuka still found it somewhat strange, but he could only observe from the sidelines. However, this particular piece of gossip was quite serious, and he certainly didn't dare to go out and tell anyone else.
At this moment, one figure after another rushed over, it was Shino: "Let's go, there are people from three different factions behind us."
Sasuke and Kiba didn't dare to be careless and jumped out of their hiding place to retreat quickly.
Before long, three Sand Village members arrived. They looked around and then asked in a low voice, "Are you sure it's Konoha?"
One of the team members confirmed, "They're from Konoha. I recognize the insects from the Aburame clan."
"I fought with one of their people once, and one of them's throwing techniques for ninja tools should be from the Uchiha clan."
"Since he ran away, let's try to contact him again next time. Let's not let the people of Yekura find out that we are trying to make contact with Konoha."
"Yes!" The three quickly disappeared.
Two more groups of people arrived afterward, but neither stayed for long before leaving.
After everyone left, a white head emerged from the corner of the wall and then slowly sank back down.
