Seeing that Shiba Kiyokawa and Tama were speaking in tacit understanding, Konan quickly realized what was going on and asked.
"Is this someone you know, Qinghe? Should we avoid them?"
Without much hesitation, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately said, "Let's retreat first. Tama, can we make sure they don't find us?"
He didn't plan to meet Uchiha Shisui right now because Shiba Kiyokawa's identity had nothing to do with Uchiha Shisui, and meeting him would only bring trouble.
He planned to go to the land of cats to see Shisui after returning home, and find out what Shisui wanted to do in the land of rain.
Go using Aizen's identity.
"No problem, meow~ Xiaoyu's senses and ability to lurk in the cat village are second to none, meow~"
What a reliable cat!
Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't resist scratching Tama's chin, and the latter squinted her eyes, revealing a comfortable expression.
Then it stood up and swiftly and silently leaped onto the branch on the other side.
Shiba Kiyokawa then led the other three to follow, closely adhering to the route chosen by Tama.
They left quietly.
They came quietly and left quietly, without being noticed by anyone.
Not long after, Shiba Kiyokawa asked Tama to leave a letter in the Cat Village, requesting a meeting with Uchiha Shisui.
The reply came quickly, and that very evening, he met the worried Uchiha Shisui in the land of cats.
Upon seeing Aizen, Uchiha Shisui exclaimed with concern, "Thank goodness, Aizen-kun! I'm so glad you're alright! I've been wanting to see you lately!"
Shiba Kiyokawa was taken aback, somewhat surprised that Shisui's concern and dependence on him had unknowingly reached such a deep level.
It seems that even after going to the battlefield, the Uchiha clan's situation in the village has not improved.
Shizuku was noticeably more lonely than before.
That's why I cherish this dear friend from another country so much.
Shiba Kiyokawa lowered his head for a moment, adjusted his expression, and when he looked up again, his acting was so natural that he perfectly revealed a hint of bitterness and sorrow.
"It seems we're on the same wavelength, Shisui. I've been looking for you too. Recently, some people from your Konoha have come to our Land of Rain."
Uchiha Shisui's expression darkened, and his voice became low.
"Yes, Aizen-kun, I know. Those people come from the roots of Konoha."
I wanted to see you to remind you of this: be careful of them... those people!
Shiba Kiyokawa stared intently at Uchiha Shisui for two seconds, carefully discerning his intentions, and confirmed that this honest, naive boy probably didn't have the cunning to deliberately trick him into revealing information.
So Shiba Kiyoka skillfully put on an expression of barely concealed bitterness and began his performance.
"Your reminder comes too late, Shisui-kun. Those people from Konoha have already reached an agreement with Lord Hanzo."
"What do they want to do?" Shisui took the bait as expected, his eyes instantly turning sharp.
It seems that Shisui's purpose in sneaking into the Land of Rain during the day was to investigate the movements of the Roots.
This child has finally grown up! Compared to the original story, he's become more enlightened and has learned to actively uncover the truth on his own.
It's a pity you escaped Danzo, but not me.
"Your Root organization in Konoha plans to cooperate with Lord Hanzo to eliminate our Akatsuki organization in exchange for Lord Hanzo's promise to help that Root leader eliminate his rivals for Hokage in the future."
Shiba Kiyokawa's words instantly ignited Uchiha Shisui's emotions.
"What?! Elder Danzo... he actually plans to join forces with outsiders to wipe out our own villager?!"
In fact, whether Danzo has come to the Land of Rain or not, and what exactly he has cooperated with Hanzo of the Salamander, are all just guesses for Shiba Kiyokawa.
But so what?
The key point is that Uchiha Shisui believed it!
Then Shiba Kiyokawa let out a sigh, feigning melancholy.
"Shisui-kun, I'm really confused right now. The Akatsuki organization showed me hope, vitality, and a future!"
They are truly working hard for the Land of Rain, for this land beneath my feet!
I was born in the Land of Rain. I love this land and this country. I truly agree with the Akatsuki's ideals and want to do something for the Land of Rain.
But I can't betray Lord Hanzo the Salamander.
Shisui-kun, I'm actually in a lot of pain.
These words struck a deep chord with Uchiha Shisui!
Confusion, pain, and inner conflict—caught between two opposing forces, torn between two opposing sides and unable to make a decision—all these struggles perfectly capture Uchiha Shisui's current state of mind!
He instantly felt the same way!
At this moment, in Shisui's eyes, Aizen was practically another version of himself in the world!
His eyes instantly turned red, and his three-tomoe Sharingan opened uncontrollably!
"Aizen-kun, I understand you!"
Uchiha Shisui almost choked up when he said those words.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa simply shook his head slightly at him, revealing a broken smile.
"Shisui-kun, don't try to come looking for me again."
If, in the future—and I mean if—I am forced to become an enemy of Konoha, or die at the hands of Konoha ninjas, please do not resent the Land of Rain, and even less blame the Akatsuki kids.
We simply chose to sacrifice ourselves for our ideals, and we do not regret our choice!
Afterwards, Shiba Kiyokawa deliberately said many things about his longing for the Land of Rain, subtly planting the image of the Akatsuki organization as righteous and innocent in Uchiha Shisui's mind!
At that moment, Uchiha Shisui's emotions completely erupted.
"Enough, Aizen-kun, stop talking! I'll save you!"
I will find a way to stop Elder Danzo's ambitions!
Believe me, I will save you!
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa clearly saw that the three tomoe in Uchiha Shisui's pupils were spinning rapidly, and there were faint signs that they were about to form a complete pattern.
Oh no, could it be that I'm the one who triggers Uchiha Shisui's awakening of his Sharingan in this timeline?
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly thought with some regret: It's a pity that the Land of Rain is still too far from Konoha.
Otherwise, choose a sunny morning so that when Uchiha Shisui opens the door in the early morning, he sees his own corpse nailed high to the outer wall of the Hokage Building by a long sword, with blood hanging like a painting, leaving long marks.
That must be a scene perfectly suited for opening the eyes of a kaleidoscope.
However, even without such scenes, the current stimulation is already sufficient.
"Are you really willing to help me?" Shiba Kiyoka asked softly, his expression full of disbelief.
Uchiha Shisui gritted his teeth, closed his eyes once, and finally, as if he had made a resolute decision, spoke with difficulty and seriousness.
"Yes, Aizen-kun, I understand your pain. This time, let me be your ally!"
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled, a relaxed smile, yet one that inexplicably carried a hint of eeriness.
"Thank you so much, Shisui-kun. Why don't you tell me what you know about Root?"
Uchiha Shisui was completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap.
He then revealed a great deal of secret information about Root and a great deal of information about Konoha.
The wheel of fate has once again found an opportunity for Shiba Kiyokawa to smash one of its axles!
The next step is to wait for the right opportunity to shatter the shackles of fate!
Fortunately, the timing wasn't too late.
