Chapter 999 - Ch.999 Encryption

Hearing Yakumo's proposal, Sasuke immediately said, "There's no need to find Shinji, I can solve it alone!"

He and Shinji were both Mangekyo Uchiha, yet Yakumo suggested letting Shinji try, which was undoubtedly a lack of trust in his strength.

Tsunade immediately made the decision: "Call Shinji and the Intelligence Division here!"

"I..."

Sasuke wanted to insist, but Kakashi shook his head at him.

When it came to village security, personal honor and disgrace should be put aside; this was a basic quality every ninja needed to possess.

Not long after, an analysis team from the Intelligence Division led by Inoichi Yamanaka personally hurried to the ward and began setting up various equipment and arranging various formulas.

Subsequently, Shinji, wearing the uniform of the Military Police Force Captain, also arrived at the ward with Mumei.

Seeing Shinji arrive, Yakumo was about to go up and explain the situation to Shinji, but her attention was attracted by Mumei behind Shinji.

With just one glance, Yakumo's heart inexplicably tightened.

Ido, who was relaxed in her inner world, also became vigilant at this moment, saying: "Yakumo, she is strong! No, very strong!"

Yakumo said: "I feel it!"

The 'Koryugan' was a powerful dojutsu Bloodline Limit that combined perspective and genjutsu. Coupled with her own 'Five Senses Manipulation' Bloodline Limit and the powerful sensing of the spirit Ido, her perception ability had long surpassed everyone in the Sensing Division.

So in one encounter, she noticed the extraordinariness of Mumei following behind Shinji.

Feeling Yakumo's gaze, Mumei, like any Uchiha, met Yakumo's gaze without dodging.

Previously, when she followed Shinji to the gathering of classmates, Yakumo and Naruto had already been secretly dispatched by the village to the Hidden Cloud, so this was her first time seeing Yakumo.

"Such strong Yin Release chakra..."

Mumei was slightly surprised.

These days, cooperating with Shinji to activate 'Takamagahara', she had secretly marked nearly eighty percent of the Hidden Leaf ninjas with her 'Yachihoko'.

And among so many ninjas, very few had Yin Release chakra intensity comparable to Yakumo.

Just as Mumei and Yakumo sized each other up, Shinji bowed to Tsunade with a gentle and humble expression: "Hokage-sama!"

Tsunade nodded, briefly explained the situation, then said: "Go try it, see what Itachi left in his brain!"

Shinji was somewhat surprised, glancing briefly at the Hidden Cloud ninja in deep coma on the hospital bed.

The others in the ward focused their eyes on Shinji at this time. The genjutsu on the Hidden Cloud ninja on the bed, Jiraiya tried, Kakashi tried, Sasuke tried, Yakumo tried, even the newly arrived Intelligence Division tried, but none could break it.

There was no lack of genjutsu experts present, so they knew even better that the genjutsu Itachi left in this Hidden Cloud ninja's brain, solely in terms of technique, had reached the level of art. So even if Shinji was a Mangekyo Uchiha, they actually didn't have high hopes.

After all, Shinji had never been known for his genjutsu.

Coming to the bedside, Shinji gently opened the tightly closed eyelids of the Hidden Cloud ninja, activated his dojutsu, and invaded the opponent's inner world.

The opponent's inner world was an isolated island, surrounded by endless scarlet.

"Tsukuyomi, huh..."

Shinji smiled.

Just as he guessed, the genjutsu that left many genjutsu experts helpless was nine out of ten Itachi's Mangekyo dojutsu 'Tsukuyomi'.

Coincidentally, Mumei also mastered Tsukuyomi, which was just the right remedy.

Because he maintained the connection of 'Yachihoko' with Mumei, with just a thought, Shinji brought Mumei into this Hidden Cloud ninja's inner world as well.

"Eh, isn't this Tsukuyomi?"

Like Shinji, Mumei instantly judged that the genjutsu the Hidden Cloud ninja was under was 'Tsukuyomi'.

Shinji asked: "Can it be broken?"

"I'll try!"

Mumei responded, then activated her dojutsu.

The surrounding scarlet was quickly covered by another scarlet. During this process, something seemed to be triggered. A black ninja crow descended from the sky with a caw, landing on the isolated island, quietly watching Shinji and Mumei.

Mumei looked at the ninja crow: "This should be what the opponent left behind!"

Shinji said indifferently: "Ninja crow... then it can be confirmed to be Uchiha Itachi!"

Hearing Itachi's name, Mumei frowned slightly: "Why did he use 'Tsukuyomi' to transmit a message?"

Shinji said: "He was originally an informant planted by the village in the Akatsuki organization. It's understandable to transmit messages to the village in this way."

It could be inferred that Itachi must have been under some degree of surveillance in the Akatsuki organization, which was why he resorted to this inferior method, using 'Tsukuyomi' to transmit messages at the cost of consuming pupil power.

Anyway, 'Tsukuyomi' could ensure the message wouldn't be stolen by other forces. Of course, if the village didn't notice this clue he left, or couldn't unlock the 'Tsukuyomi' he applied, then he couldn't be blamed.

Mumei said: "Traitor, he will pay the price!"

Whether from the perspective of the Uchiha clan or the current Akatsuki organization, Itachi was a veritable traitor.

Mumei had no stance, only malice towards Itachi for almost killing Shinji!

"He is already paying the price!"

Shinji sighed with emotion, then walked slowly towards that ninja crow.

"Not enough!"

Mumei muttered, following Shinji step by step.

Watching Shinji and Mumei approach, the crow hopped twice on the ground, finally opened its beak, and slowly spat out a scroll.

Picking up the scroll from the ground, Shinji checked it and said: " This is an encrypted scroll, really cautious!"

Mumei asked: "Need me to decrypt it?"

Shinji shook his head, pondering.

Itachi transmitting a message to the village at this time indicated he must have discovered some important intelligence, or there was a major event he had to remind the village of. So if Itachi's intelligence was handed over to the village at this time, it would very likely affect the outcome of the decisive battle between the Ninja Village Alliance and the Akatsuki organization.

But on second thought, Itachi risking sending this intelligence indicated he wasn't optimistic about the Ninja Village Alliance. So handing this intelligence to the village might narrow the strength gap between the Ninja Village Alliance and the Akatsuki organization, making the Akatsuki organization's victory not so easy.

After all, Shinji still needed to snatch the Ten-Tails from the Akatsuki organization in the end.

Shinji made a decision: "Hand it over, we don't need to worry about decryption!"

Mumei asked curiously: "Shinji, really don't need to check what's written inside first? You trust Uchiha Itachi that much?"

Shinji smiled: "I just trust his judgment."

In the next instant, Shinji left the Hidden Cloud ninja's inner world. Through his own pupil power, he brought out the encrypted scroll Itachi left in the Hidden Cloud ninja's inner world and casually threw it to the Intelligence Division ninja nearby.
