Chapter 34 - The Fall of a Genius
All these thoughts took only a moment, but before Uchiha Keisuke could start the first step and shoot out the kunai connected to the steel wire.
In an instant, everything in front of his eyes turned white.
Boom!
Lightning like a swimming dragon suddenly thundered and flashed in the trap pit filled with water vapor.
Uchiha Keisuke, who was in the middle of it, had no time to respond.
In the face of such a light-speed attack, all he could do was rely entirely on his physical instinct to instantly condense chakra to protect the vital parts of his body.
But this kind of instinctive chakra protection of the physical body didn't play much of a role at all.
The terrifying electric current instantly passed through his body, and the resulting high temperature instantly evaporated the moisture in his epidermal cells, turning it into a layer of pitch-black carbon gel.
At the same time, high-speed electric current also hit his brain. Even with the protection of chakra, Uchiha Keisuke could not withstand it. His head felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, and his wide-open Sharingan was full of unwillingness and incomprehension.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Shouldn't the power of this lightning escape be so strong?"
"Hmm...that's...iron filings!"
"Damn it!"
At the last moment, looking at the particles of light flashing in the air, Uchiha Keisuke saw clearly what they were. They were iron chips, countless iron chips that were shattered from the kunai that exploded before.
These iron filings mixed in the mist formed by water vapor made the ordinary Lightning Release - Ground Release, which originally had a power of only B level, have the power of A+ level Lightning Release.
Uchiha Keisuke knew he was doomed after being hit directly by an A+ level lightning technique without any protection.
It was obvious that the enemy not only knew that he was an Uchiha, but also knew that as a genius of the Uchiha clan, he was best at water-style ninjutsu.
From the very beginning, the attacker based his decision on the fact that the first thing he would consider when encountering a crisis was to use water escape technique, and then based on this he established a tactic of using kunai blast to split the iron chips to increase the power of lightning escape technique for a decisive blow.
The attacker knew him very well. Whether it was using water vapor to form mist to suppress his Sharingan's observation ability, or choosing the fatal blow of Lightning Release, a ninjutsu with an attack speed that made it difficult for him to react, every step was aimed at his weaknesses.
Such a targeted attack tactic to restrain him is definitely not something that the Hidden Cloud Ninja can do in a short period of time.
After all, he did not reveal his fighting ability in the Land of Thunder.
Uchiha Keisuke believed that this attack could never be carried out by ninjas from other ninja villages.
Although he is a famous genius of the Uchiha clan, he has never actually attended a ninja school. He is a family-trained ninja trained within the family.
In addition, there are very few ninjas in the Uchiha clan who can carry out daily tasks, and he has never carried out a mission on behalf of Konoha before.
Therefore, the chance of his information being exposed is very small.
Not to mention being able to develop such detailed tactical routines against him.
Uchiha Kai believed that apart from his family, only the Konoha high-level officials who had always targeted their Uchiha clan could collect detailed information about his abilities.
Moreover, they must know much more information than the ninjas outside, and only they can come up with such detailed and targeted tactics.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Keisuke was very angry.
But the battle between ninjas is like a chess game. If you make a mistake in one move, the whole game will be lost. What's more, he lost more than just one move. His underwear was seen through. His loss was not unfair.
Uchiha Keisuke finally fell into a coma with reluctance and a hint of anger after enlightenment.
bump!
A charred body fell from mid-air and hit the equally charred ground.
At this time, there was no water vapor in the trap. The high temperature brought by the lightning escape just now evaporated all the water vapor.
tread!
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and stood beside the charred Uchiha Keisuke.
"What dangerous eyes!"
Uchiha Keisuke was covered in charcoal on the ground, but his open eyes were safe and sound. The three-magatama Sharingan was still flashing with a dangerous scarlet light, showing the power of the Sharingan.
Seeing this, Danzo couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes were burning with passion.
As someone who has witnessed the power of Uchiha Madara and experienced the power of Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyō Sharingan up close, Danzo is very clear about the power of the Sharingan.
In his opinion, the most powerful force in this world is undoubtedly the first generation's Wood Release and the Uchiha's Sharingan.
Now the plan to revive Wood Release is nowhere in sight and there is no hope of success.
However, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan belongs to him from today on.
Danzo squatted down and took out a bottle from his arms. It was filled with nutrient solution for culturing cells, which could effectively preserve the activity of the Sharingan for a long time.
Danzo personally dug out Uchiha Keisuke's pair of Sharingan and put them into a preservation bottle.
Looking at the pair of three-magatama Sharingan floating and swaying in the transparent glass bottle, Danzo felt relaxed both physically and mentally at this moment.
"With these Sharingan, I can perform the forbidden technique that changes reality."
Thinking of the terrifying secret technique of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, Danzo felt a burning sensation in his heart and wished he could install the Sharingan right now.
However, the Sharingan is not that easy to control either.
He has to think of a good solution when he gets back.
"Do it."
Danzo put away the bottle containing the Sharingan, and then ordered his subordinates to deal with Uchiha Keisuke.
This is the border. Even though we already know in advance that the patrol ninjas are at their farthest distance at this moment, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?
The best response is to leave quickly.
At this time, Uchiha Keisuke was not dead, but he had lost the ability to resist and was no different from being dead.
Among the four-member Root team that went on missions with Danzo, one was from the Aburame clan, skilled in controlling poisonous insects with highly corrosive venom, making them an essential medicine for destroying corpses and covering up traces.
Under the venom of his poisonous insect, Uchiha Keisuke died quickly, and his body turned into a pool of blurry pus.
Finally, after a blazing escape, the pus completely turned into ashes. Even if a ninja came afterwards, they would not be able to find any useful information.
From then on, the genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Keisuke, died in less than ten seconds.
That's right, the battle just now lasted less than ten seconds, and that included the time Danzo took to dig out the Sharingan.
It has to be said that in the ninja's fighting world, strength is the foundation, but intelligence is also important.
Soon, Danzo led the Root team quickly through the border canyon and headed towards the Land of Lightning.
Shortly after Danzo and others left, border patrol ninjas arrived after receiving reports of violent chakra fluctuations.
But they only saw a pile of ashes of corpses and obvious signs of a cleaned-up battlefield around them, and could not obtain much useful intelligence.
They only knew that someone died here, but they didn't know who died.
However, they did know that the murderer had left the border.
The Border Patrol then sent a three-person assault team to pursue the murderer.
The other party is killing people within the territory of the Land of Fire. No matter how you slice it, it is definitely related to Konoha's interests. They at least have to find out who crossed the border to kill people.
The patrol assault team followed the faint traces left by the murderer all the way to the border of the Land of Lightning and stopped.
At this point, they all knew without any guessing that the murderer must be from the Hidden Cloud Village.
So the three of them went back, and at the same time, a piece of information about the matter was sent to Konoha.
Five days later, based on the abnormal report on Kumogakure sent by the border patrol, the Third Hokage announced to the Uchiha clan that the Uchiha clan's genius ninja Uchiha Keisuke had failed in his mission and died.
Two days later, Danzo and his Root team returned to Konoha quietly, and no one knew they had been out.
