Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die

Chapter 55 Shennong cross-examines and breaks into action!
Under the cliff,
After just a moment of charm, Uchiha immediately calmed down and looked around.

The current location of the three of them is not on the cliff where they fought Kakuzu. It has been surrounded by members of the Evil God Cult wearing black robes and samurai uniforms. There are dozens of them, and the search area is still expanding. .

At some point, the team moved to the other side of the valley.

That is, on the other side of the cliff that Kakuzu used Wind Release and Pressure to collapse.

Right under the noses of the members of the Evil God Cult, I have to say that he is truly a very talented person.

However, if this continues, it will only be a matter of time before they are discovered and surrounded.

"Did you see it?" Shennong stood aside and looked down and said calmly,
"The noise of the battle between you and Kakuzu was too great, and it has already alerted the other party."

"Including what you see now and what you don't see, on the outside, there are four teams that are constantly expanding the search area from the battle center. There are six fully armed chuunin teams guarding the entrance to the cave of the headquarters of the Evil God."

"Internally, we don't know how many members there are."

"Today seems to be a special day for them, as most of the forces have been called back to headquarters."

Shennong paused, then looked back at Uchiha Ci and Terumi Mei, and said calmly:

"Isn't it time to recognize reality?"

"With your strength, it is undoubtedly impossible to accomplish such a thing as annihilating the Evil God Cult."

Uchiha frowned slightly and was about to retort.

However, Terumi Mei turned around at this time, her eyes solemn and firm:
"I'm going, I have news that I have to confirm in there."

"Besides, it's not like there's no chance."

She pointed to the location of the castle, frowned and said: "The location of the underground cave is directly below the castle. You don't need to go to the front. You can sneak in by opening a straight passage from directly above."

"The opponent's defense is now concentrated here, and the castle above is not well guarded."

"This is an opportunity."

Shennong shook his head slightly and said: "First of all, you don't know the depth of the cave. Secondly, how can you guarantee that the passage you opened will reach the cave?"

"Besides," Shennong asked calmly, "how can you confirm that this is not the other party's attempt to spread suspicion? Maybe there are hundreds of people inside the castle waiting for you to surrender?"

"Just help me buy some time." Terumi Mei looked at it firmly and said resolutely,

"I'm good at ninjutsu with the three attributes of water, earth, and fire. I can use the earth escape and earth swimming fish technique to detect the location and the information in the castle. Moreover, the limestone layer that forms the cave can be easily corroded by my melt escape."

"Just need a little time." Terumi Mei turned his attention to Uchiha Ci.

Although Shen Nong was strong, when he appeared here, he looked like an old man just walking around with nothing to do. He seemed to be indifferent to everything.

If she wants to finish the unfinished business, she still has to rely on her and another member of the team, Uchiha Ci.

But Terumi Mei suddenly hesitated.
She looked at Uchiha Ci, who had just experienced a battle, with burns and scratches all over his body and blood on his head, and felt that her request seemed a bit excessive.

Shennong also sneered at the right time and said:
"Little girl, have you forgotten?"

"You were the one who came up with the plan that seemed feasible when we first got here."

"But what's the result?"

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Uchiha Ci, who was lying on the ground and trying to get up.
"Because of your hesitation, you missed the opportunity to break into the headquarters of the Evil God Cult."

"Because of your hesitation, you bumped into Taki-nin S-class rebel ninja Kakuto."

"Because of your hesitation, this kid is now lying here half-dead."

"The boy named Hidan who was following you was captured, and the Evil God Cult's security increased greatly. Now you still want him to die for you?"

"If you had listened to this boy earlier, you would have stormed into the headquarters of the Evil God Cult by now, wouldn't you?"

Shennong didn't say everything, but the dissuasion in his words was very obvious.

Shennong, who had been a bystander from the beginning, saw clearly,
In his eyes, Terumi Mei was the only one in this team who really had to go to the headquarters of the Evil God Cult.

Uchiha Ci and Hidan, these two brats are just brats who want to be a hero when their brains get hot, and they talk a lot and play ninja games.

It wasn't until Uchiha Cishi fought with Kakuzu at the risk of his life and discovered the hidden talent in this kid that Shen Nong began to pay a little attention to this temporary team.

Under Shennong's questioning, Terumi Mei could not help but fall silent.

She exhaled and couldn't help but clench her palms, feeling a little stupid.

This is obviously her own business, why would she subconsciously want to rely on Uchiha Ci?
For a while, no one spoke anymore.

The atmosphere was as oppressive as a sow giving birth, everyone looked serious and prepared.

at this time,

"No problem, then let me help you buy time!"

Uchiha Ci, who had just struggled to get up from the ground, suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Terumi Mei and Shennong couldn't help but look at him in surprise, their eyes full of astonishment.

The eyes all mean the same thing.

It's like asking the young man, do you have a role to speak here?

Don't you even look at how miserable you are now?

Besides, do you still have chakra action?
"There is no problem with the plan. Kakuzu's appearance was an unexpected emergency." Uchiha opened his Sharingan eye, scanned the position below, and analyzed aloud,
"With the opponent's current defense, it is obviously not feasible to rush in forcefully."

"I think I can try it."

After saying that, Uchiha looked at Terumi Mei and asked her,
"I will attract the other party's attention, and you will go and investigate the information. Where will we meet after that? How long do I need to buy you?"

Terumi Mei took a deep breath, struggled with her eyes for a moment, and then said coldly:

"You need to go down from here, go around the outer wall, pass through the battle site just now, take them for a circle on the city wall, then go to the fork in front of the underground cave of the Evil God's headquarters, turn to the inner city wall of the castle and climb up. That’s the meeting point…”

Mei Terumi pointed to the terrain below and explained the route to Uchiha in detail, as well as the nodes that needed attention.

Then, her expression slightly condensed and she continued:

"The time is roughly five minutes. After the investigation is completed, I will rush to the fork in the road in advance and release the Kirigakure Technique to help you get rid of the pursuers."

"If the plan succeeds, maybe we can find the information I want and Hidan's location at the same time."

"Then, rescue him."

Shennong on the side couldn't help but sneered:
"That's nice to say, but what if there's a slight change in the plan?"

He paused and then said quietly:

"For example, you let this kid attract firepower and flee with dozens of people, and after you got what you wanted, you never came back—"

"Without the help of your Kirigakure Technique to escape, this kid..."

Before Shennong finished speaking, Uchiha smiled.

"In that case, I should face ten evil cult teams, twelve search team ninjas, countless wandering samurai, and eighteen fully armed chunin who possess the secret techniques of the evil cult at the same time."

"If this happens, I will probably die."

Then, Uchiha turned his eyes to Terumi Mei:

"But, I believe you!"
