"Can you truly guarantee the lives of my child and myself?"
En Oyashiro asked, struggling on the river of blood.
It wasn't that he was a coward; it was just that Shisui and Pakura's abilities had completely pinned him down!
In a direct confrontation, he simply wasn't a match for them!
If he wanted to survive, he had to find an opportunity to escape.
However, because of his daughter Chino, he couldn't abandon her and run away alone.
As for taking Chino with him, that was even more of a luxury. He might not be able to escape by himself, let alone with a child in tow.
Thus, En Oyashiro was left with only one option.
That was to surrender to the Uchiha brat right in front of him.
Facing the lifelong enemies of the Blood Pool clan, the fact that he had to compromise in such a manner was utterly humiliating.
Fortunately, his question was met with a firm affirmative response from Shisui.
"Teacher hasn't given me any orders to kill you."
"The grudges between the Uchiha and the Blood Pool clan are ancient history. As long as you come with me to see Teacher, I believe your lives won't be in danger."
"Trust me, the ninja world has changed."
Shisui dispersed his Susanoo and spoke calmly.
Seeing Shisui, who could control his anger so well, Pakura couldn't help but be secretly impressed.
This brat really did resemble his master in some ways!
After receiving Shisui's affirmative reply, En Oyashiro had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
"I'll go with you to see your teacher."
After making the decision, he waved his hand, and a blood sphere flew out from the river.
Once the outer layer of blood dissolved, a beautifully delicate little girl was revealed.
The girl was about one or two years old and quite adorable.
She must be the daughter Chino that En Oyashiro had mentioned, Shisui thought to himself.
En Oyashiro held the little girl in his arms and then looked at Shisui, saying indifferently:
"Let's go."
Shisui glanced at the fallen members of the Blood Pool clan.
"What about these people?"
"Do whatever you want with them. I was planning to kill them all from the beginning anyway."
En Oyashiro showed a complete lack of concern for his own clan members.
In his original plan, he had intended to turn these people into self-detonating puppets.
Not only could they be used to destroy the barrier set up by the Uchiha through explosions, but they could also be used to deal with any Uchiha pursuers they might encounter after leaving Hell Valley.
Therefore, he didn't care at all about the life or death of these clan members.
The only thing he cared about was the lives of himself and his daughter Chino.
Shisui looked at the fallen Blood Pool clan members and said to Pakura:
"Could you stay here and keep an eye on them? I'll decide what to do with them after I report to Teacher."
After all, they were precious bloodline limits, and Shisui didn't dare to handle them without Danzo's confirmation.
Pakura nodded in response:
"Sure."
Then, Shisui and Pakura searched the entire Blood Pool clan again.
Unfortunately, after En Oyashiro's massacre, only 17 members of the Blood Pool clan remained.
After handing these 17 people over to Pakura to watch over, Shisui took En Oyashiro and his daughter back to Konoha.
Along the way, En Oyashiro was utterly shocked by the surrounding scenery.
Having lived in Hell Valley for decades, the most common sights he had seen were blood.
Blood mist, blood rivers, and clan members with bloodshot eyes!
His life was filled with the color red!
Therefore, when he saw the vibrant and lively forest, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited.
When he entered Konoha with Shisui, this excited feeling instantly became even stronger.
The bustling streets, the peaceful atmosphere, villagers chatting casually on the road, children chasing balls...
Such a peaceful and harmonious scene was something that En Oyashiro could only see in his dreams.
It was only at this moment that he finally began to believe what Shisui had said about the reconciliation between the Senju and the Uchiha.
Because only the reconciliation of these two clans could create such a harmonious golden age.
Looking at the huge Hokage Rock that could be seen from a great distance, En Oyashiro couldn't help but marvel:
"Is this Konoha?"
Hearing this, Shisui smiled and introduced:
"The first three faces are the first three Hokage of Konoha, the leaders of the village."
"As for the fourth one being built, it's the newly appointed Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze."
Upon hearing this, En Oyashiro couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What position does your teacher hold?"
"He is one of the elders of Konoha, known as the 'Heavenly Eye' and the 'War God of Konoha'."
Shisui introduced truthfully.
As for the other titles, En Oyashiro would have to learn about them gradually on his own.
"An elder of Konoha..."
En Oyashiro was not unfamiliar with the position of elder.
After all, during the Warring States Period, every ninja clan had such a position.
It was second only to the clan head and was responsible for assisting the head in handling various clan affairs.
Thinking of this, En Oyashiro couldn't help but take another close look at the young man beside him.
He never expected that the talented and proud Uchiha would actually take an outsider as their teacher. It was truly unbelievable.
Halfway through, Shisui suddenly walked towards a nearby shop.
This immediately made En Oyashiro tense up and hurriedly protect the child in his arms.
But soon, Shisui came over with a skewer of tri-colored dumplings.
"Hey, these are tri-colored dumplings, they're really delicious!"
Shisui waved the dumplings in front of Chino.
The little girl immediately laughed cheerfully and reached out her small hand to grab them.
En Oyashiro hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, Shisui smiled and said:
"Mr. En Oyashiro, this is Konoha. Don't worry, if we really had any ill intentions towards you, we would have taken you down already."
"There are many ninjas in Konoha who are stronger than me."
This statement from Shisui made En Oyashiro even more nervous.
But he had to admit that what the other party said was indeed correct.
He had already arrived on their turf; what was the use of being on guard anymore?
Seeing Chino's eager eyes, he reluctantly took the tri-colored dumplings from Shisui and handed them to little Chino.
The little girl immediately laughed and quickly put the dumplings into her mouth.
Soon, a masked ninja appeared in front of them.
"Lord Danzo requests your presence."
Shisui raised his eyebrows.
"Has Teacher finally found the time?"
He was supposed to take En Oyashiro directly to the Root directly, but he was told that Teacher was conducting an important experiment at the time.
So he had no choice but to take En Oyashiro and his daughter for a walk on the streets.
Now that the experiment was over, it was time to take the successor of the Blood Pool clan to meet Teacher.
The moment they arrived at the Root, En Oyashiro immediately felt a terrible chill.
This chill did not come from the temperature, but from a very special sensation that acted on the psychological level.
Just by entering this place, En Oyashiro could immediately perceive the extreme darkness inside.
It wasn't until he laid eyes on Danzō that he could confirm that the intense darkness was emanating from this one-eyed man.
"Are you the descendant of the Blood Pool clan, En Oyashiro?"
Danzō scrutinized the man holding the child.
To be honest, compared to En Oyashiro's bloodline and strength, Danzō valued his business acumen even more.
After all, it wasn't something just anyone could achieve to establish a large-scale corporation and a bloodline ninja arena in just a few years, and to make connections with merchants and bosses from all over the ninja world.
Danzō's team was in need of such talents at the moment.
"Yes, I am En Oyashiro."
En Oyashiro was also observing Danzō.
Unfortunately, Danzō's expression was quite calm and didn't reveal much useful information.
Only the eye wrapped in bandages and the intersecting scar on his chin hinted at some ferocity.
"I wonder what Elder Danzō wants with me?"
En Oyashiro seemed to have already accepted the current situation.
His attitude had changed dramatically from the arrogance he displayed when he first emerged from Hell Valley.
"Relax, after learning about the Blood Pool clan from the Uchiha, I felt very saddened."
"A family with such a powerful bloodline like the Blood Dragon Eye, yet they could only survive in a small valley with such a harsh environment, it's truly a pity."
"So, I hope to invite you to join the big family of Konoha, to become a part of Konoha and enjoy its protection."
Danzō's face wore a faint smile, like a beam of light refracted from the dark Root!
Such a light couldn't help but make Kakuzu, who was standing by, sweat profusely, and even brought a hint of pity into his gaze towards En Oyashiro.
Don't be fooled by Danzō's seemingly kind demeanor now, but if you refuse his invitation, I'm afraid you will immediately be regarded as a potential enemy of the Root.
Talents that Danzō couldn't obtain generally wouldn't be allowed to fall into others' hands either.
But En Oyashiro apparently still didn't understand the true meaning behind the term "Darkness of the Shinobi."
He politely declined Danzō's offer, tentatively saying:
"Elder Danzō, Chino and I have decided to leave the Blood Pool clan and just want to take a good look at the outside world."
Perhaps worried that Danzō would get angry, he quickly added:
"Of course, as for the other members of the Blood Pool clan, Elder Danzō can arrange them as you wish, and I won't interfere at all."
Upon hearing this statement, Kakuzu closed his eyes completely.
Even Shisui sighed helplessly.
Sure enough, Danzō's expression changed slightly.
"So, you mean you want to leave Konoha?"
Before En Oyashiro could respond, Danzō's eyes instantly transformed into Mangekyo Sharingan.
The terrifying power of the eyes burst forth, crossing the air and pouring fiercely into En Oyashiro's mind.
In his spiritual world, the Blood Dragon Eye and the Mangekyo Sharingan appeared simultaneously.
The two terrifying powers collided violently, triggering a dreadful mental storm.
However, despite its strength, the Blood Dragon Eye still fell short in front of the Mangekyo.
Endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood emerged from his mind.
Bones, flesh, and all kinds of skulls were arranged into a huge burial mound.
At the top of the burial mound was a gigantic throne made of skeletons and blood.
He merely opened his eyes, and countless darkness surged out from him, instantly enveloping the entire mental space.
It was as if night had suddenly fallen from day!
And
The only thing hanging in the pitch-black sky was a single scarlet, blood-moon-like Mangekyo Sharingan!
