Chapter 209: Chase

In the dim underground space of the Root Base, Danzo looked gloomily at the Root Ninja lying on the ground. This Root Ninja was the Yamanaka clan member that Liu Yu had let go.

After the Root reinforcements arrived, no Kusanagi clan member was found. There were only corpses of Root Ninjas all over the ground. The only one who was still alive was holding his head with both hands, rolling on the ground and groaning loudly in pain.

When they took off the mask of the Yamanaka clan Root Ninja, they found that this person's mouth and nose were cracked, and blood kept oozing out. At the same time, his eyes were dull, and it was obvious that he had suffered a severe mental injury. In this state, he could not ask any valuable information at all, so he had no choice but to take him back to the Root headquarters.

After being taken back to the Root headquarters, after diagnosis by the Root medical ninja, it was confirmed that when he performed the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan, he suffered a backlash and suffered severe mental damage. It would take at least a month to recover.

However, Danzo, who was eager to know the details of the matter, naturally did not have the patience to wait for a month, so under Danzo's mandatory order, he invaded the brain of the Yamanaka clan ninja and obtained detailed information about the previous incident in the Kusasen clan's residence.

And this Yamanaka clan's root ninja, whose brain was invaded to obtain information under such circumstances, would need to recuperate for half a year at best, or become a permanent vegetable at worst.

However, Danzo was obviously in no mood to care about his subordinate. He was now thinking about how Liu Yu appeared in the village. She should be carrying out the assassination mission outside the village. Liu Yu now appeared in the village, and no Kusasen clan member was found, which meant that his plan this time had failed.

Before Danzo could figure out what to do, a root ninja flashed in front of Danzo, half-knelt and handed over a secret letter, and disappeared again after Danzo took the secret letter. This secret letter was sent back by the spy that Danzo had planted in the daimyo's team. The sentinel eagle rushed to send the message back after dark.

Danzo's original plan was that after the message was conveyed back, the Root would take control of the Kusasen clan in Konoha Village. However, the successive annihilation of two groups of Root ninjas and the news that Liu Yu appeared in the village obviously interrupted Danzo's deployment.

Danzo glanced at the secret letter, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Kusasen Liu Yu colluded with forces from other villages, betrayed village secrets, assassinated the daimyo, killed many ninjas in the village, and attempted to attack the high-level officials in the department. He has now defected"

"Woo--------"

The long whistle sounded suddenly in the night of Konoha. The Konoha villagers who heard the whistle were stunned, put down the things in their hands, and looked out of the street in confusion. On the street, a team of Anbu ninjas passed by from time to time. Soon after, even the guards of the Uchiha clan took emergency action.

Liu Yu, who was completely hidden under the black robe, was also stunned when he heard the whistle. Looking at a team of Anbu rushing past not far away, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Danzo really thinks highly of me."

This highest level of alarm will only sound when the village is in a major crisis or facing an invasion by external forces. The last time it sounded was because the Nine-Tails broke the seal, but I didn't expect that this time, in order to capture me, Danzo actually directly activated this level of alarm. I don't know whether I should be fortunate or sad.

"How is this possible?"

Asuma and Hong looked at the notice that had just been issued in shock. It said that Kusa Sen Liu Yu, a senior ninja of the Kusa Sen clan, colluded with external village forces to kill the name of the Land of Fire, sold village secrets, and was suspected of assassinating senior village officials. He has now defected and officially listed him as an S-level rebel.

"How could it be?"

Looking at the notice in front of him, Hong covered his mouth gently in disbelief. As Liu Yu's teammates, the two of them knew Liu Yu's character and knew that Liu Yu would not do such a thing.

On the other side, Yamanaka Inoichi frowned as he looked at the notice that had just been posted in front of him. As a member of the Yamanaka clan, his experience is naturally not comparable to Asuma and Hong, and he thinks about problems longer than others.

At the critical moment when the Third Hokage is not in the village, it is definitely abnormal for such a thing to happen in the village, especially since the order was issued by Danzo's root.

Assassinating the daimyo, if this crime is confirmed, it is estimated that even the Third Hokage cannot save Liu Yu, but where does Liu Yu have the reason to assassinate the daimyo?

"Teacher Haiyi, Liu Yu won't really..."

Looking at Yamanaka Inoichi's frowning brows, Asuma asked worriedly. Although he is usually cheerful, he can't calm down in the face of such a big event as the defection of an important companion.

"Don't think too much"

Looking at the worried faces of the two, Yamanaka Inoichi could only comfort them helplessly.

Such scenes are constantly happening in other places in Konoha. Everyone who knows Liu Yu is in disbelief when they learn that Liu Yu has defected. Liu Yu is a war hero of Konoha and the captain of the Shadow Guard of the Fourth Hokage. How could he do such a thing?

Now that the Third Hokage is not in the village, Danzo, the assistant of the Hokage, is currently the most powerful person in the village. Now that such a big thing has happened in the village, he naturally has the power to temporarily mobilize the Anbu. Under Danzo's special request, the Inuzuka, Aburame, Hyuga and other families who are good at tracking have joined this big search. In particular, the Hyuga clan ninjas who have the Byakugan that restrains seclusion are the main force of the search team.

The whole of Konoha has become turbulent because of the defection of the Kusame clan. First, Orochimaru, the third-generation direct disciple and one of the legendary three ninjas, defected, and then Konoha's war hero, the captain of the Fourth Hokage's guard, Kusanagi. Qian Liuyu's entire clan defected. This can’t help but make the villagers wonder, “What is happening to the village?”

Running through the forest, Ryūha kept passing over thick trees, and behind her, the Leaf Village was getting smaller and smaller. Although Danzo made multiple preparations to hunt down Ryūha, he still could not find any trace of Ryūha.

Liu Yu often goes out to perform confidential tasks for the village, and is very aware of the sensory barrier and the distribution of sentries outside the village. Coupled with his extremely strong anti-perception and perception abilities, he had already avoided Danzo's pursuers before they even surrounded him. As for the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, they can deal with the ordinary Kussen clan members, but if you want to find Ryūha, you must have the extremely pure Byakugan of the clan.

Suddenly, Liuyu stopped, stood on a tree, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "Come out, Kakashi, you can't hide from my perception."

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Kakashi, wearing a silver vest and an ANBU mask, turned around and walked out of a tree. After coming out, Kakashi took off his mask directly and looked at Ryūha intently. The three Magatama Sharingan in the socket of his left eye kept turning.

For a moment, the two fell silent. At this moment, they are no longer companions. One of them is an S-class traitor wanted by the village, and the other is a member of the hunting team.

"Why?"

After a long time, Kakashi asked softly.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to go to this point."

Ryuyu did not answer Kakashi's question directly, but sighed to himself.

"Why?"

Kakashi said the same thing.

"Do you still remember the assassination that happened when the third generation went to the City of Fire to meet the daimyo?"

Ryūha did not answer Kakashi's question, but instead asked Kakashi if he still remembered the assassination.

""

Liu Yu's rhetorical question directly caused silence between the two parties again. No one should know about the assassination planned by Danzo except the person involved.

"I see!"

After a while, Kakashi lowered his head and whispered helplessly, then stepped aside without any intention of taking action. Liu Yu's hint is already obvious, she is just a pawn trying to resist fate.
