Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan - C.817 Consequences of Betraying Akatsuki

Juzo held the hilt of his Kubikiribōchō, and said while pointing at Shinichi, “Shinichi… I told you several times that nothing good will come to you if you do this… the only place you have left will also disappear… you should understand that Akatsuki won’t forgive traitors unless you have a proper explanation, there is no going back now.”

Shinichi smirked, “Akatsuki was never the place I wanted to be… this was just a means to me… but… I do consider you my friend… but that’s that… and this is this… I did what I wanted to do and I have no intention of explaining anything to anyone… if you want to stop me… then fight already, else step aside and let me go… I have no time for chit-chat.”

Hearing Shinichi’s words, Juzo understood that Shinichi had no intention of going back with them. Shaking his head in sadness, he drew his sword and pointed at Shinichi.

The hesitation and struggle were clearly apparent on his face as he pointed Kubikiribōchō at Shinichi. To Juzo, Shinichi is a close friend, and they have worked together for several years. To a certain extent, their team was the only team that developed into a close friendship over the years, and both watched out for each other’s back when facing any enemy. Now having to face someone he has trusted his back with, it’s obvious that Juzo is hesitant.

In fact, Juzo is not at all surprised by Shinichi’s betrayal. Shinichi stopped pretending in front of him long ago, therefore, Juzo was very well aware of the fact that Shinichi was not loyal to Akatsuki, and would one day betray them. But out of friendship, Juzo kept this a secret and never reported anything about Shinichi’s attitude/intention to anyone.

Juzo had also prepared himself to fight Shinichi on that day.

And now that that day has really come, Juzo realizes that it’s really difficult for him to fight the only remaining friend he has left in Shinobi World.

Knowing that he really can’t fight Shinichi, Juzo put down Kubikiribōchō, and sighed, “I hope you know what you are doing.”

Shinichi understood Juzo’s hesitation, he smiled lightly and muttered lightly, “I know what I am doing… Thanks, Juzo.” Then he disappeared with a quick body flicker.

Seeing Juzo allowing Shinichi’s retreat, Kisame said with a smile, “Juzo-san, I didn’t expect that you would be soft-hearted with him… But… that aside… we allowed him to retreat despite having a numeric advantage… how are we going to explain this?”

Takeshi said in a regretful tone, “Here I thought that I would be able to face him and see how strong his Mangekyou Sharingan is… what a shame!”

Mageta shook his head, “Rather than Shame, I will call this a blessing… I don’t think anyone except Kisame and Kahyo would have managed to survive if we actually faced him… and even then, we couldn’t have stopped him… this result is much better.”

Takeshi retorted, “We are more people… we could have defeated him.”

Mageta shook his head, “He has that weird Mangekyou Sharingan ability and Susano’o… there is no fighting against these two powers… we would be dead.”

Having been a descendant of the Chinoike Clan, Mageta is aware of the danger of the Uchiha Clan. As per the history he has read, their entire clan was crushed and exiled by the Uchiha Clan. Therefore, Mageta doesn’t want to face a Uchiha, not if he can help it.

While Takeshi and Mageta were arguing, Kahyo looked in the direction Shinichi disappeared and wondered, ‘Where is he going to go? Does he still have a place left in this world?’

At this time, Juzo picked up his Kubikiribōchō and resheathed it.

Kisame asked, “What are we going to do?”

Juzo answered, “We failed… now we are going back to the base…”

Kisame asked, “Aren’t you worried?”

Juzo shook his head, “I don’t think they expected us to catch Shinichi in the first place. I don’t even understand why they sent us… whatever let’s just go back and see how things proceed.” 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝔀𝓮𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝓵.𝒸𝑜𝘮

…

Whoosh!

With the sound of breaking through the wind, a figure traversed through the forest. This is none other than Shinichi, and his direction is the Land of Fire.

Before he went after the puppet, Shinichi had already planned his route of escape, so although he was a bit nervous, he knew what he was doing and wasn’t all that worried.

Of course, this doesn’t mean things will go easy for him.

The sudden appearance of a spiral whirl in front of him clearly showed this.

As soon as Shinichi noted the appearance of Spiral Whirl, he came to a sudden stop and looked at the man coming out of the whirl.

This is none other than the self-proclaimed Uchiha Madara. He looked at Shinichi in silence, then said, “Shinichi… you disappointed me.”

People might be wondering why ‘Madara’ appeared here so fast, and the reason the Kiri squad of Akatsuki was able to intercept Shinichi so early, the answer is quite simple, and that’s Zetsu. Similar to Shinichi, Zetsu was also tailing Shinichi, and in doing so, Zetsu discovered Shinichi’s act of betrayal and relayed the information back.

Shinichi looked at the self-proclaimed Madara with a gloomy expression.

In Akatsuki, there are only two people who have a chance of defeating him. The first is obviously Nagato, and the second is the self-proclaimed Madara.

Shinichi had expected this man to come after him, however, he appeared a little too fast.

The self-proclaimed Madara leaned against a tree, and asked calmly, “So, it really was you who leaked the intelligence about our base in Amegakure at that time, right?”

The war of the best occurred at Amegakure. At that time, he and Nagato suspected the presence of a spy, but they didn’t have any proof and concluded that it must have been the work of Orochimaru.

After all, Orochimaru had betrayed the organization not long ago, so it wouldn’t have been strange if it was him.

But now that Shinichi’s identity as the traitor is exposed, they realize that it wasn’t Orochimaru who leaked these details, but Shinichi who was personally recruited by him.

Shinichi didn’t care if this secret was exposed, it doesn’t really matter now, and snorted, “Even if you know this, it doesn’t change a thing.”

“That is true.” Nodded the masked man, and said, “However, you couldn’t have been working alone all this time…” then asked, “Answer me… whom are you working for… is it Konoha or the Uchiha?”

The masked man didn’t consider the possibility of the involvement of Amatsukami, to him, it doesn’t make any sense.

If Shinichi had been sent by Amatsukami, then Akatsuki would have been finished by now. Using the intelligence sent by Shinichi, Amatsukami could have prepared a solid trap for Akatsuki. In the presence of Yama, both Homusubi, Fujin, Suijin, and Dojin, Akatsuki would have been done by now.

Therefore, Shinichi couldn’t have been working for Amatsukami, there are only two possibilities left, and that is either Konoha or Uchiha.

In the face of the masked man’s question, Shinichi shrugged, “Why don’t you try to make a guess.”

“Guess?” muttered the masked man, then shook his head, “Forget it, there is no need. Once I am done with you, I can have all the information extracted from your brain.”

Shinichi wasn’t afraid of the masked man’s Genjutsu, however, Nagato’s ability to read memories worried him. It wouldn’t matter if he died, but the intelligence on Amatsukami can not be revealed at any cost!

With this in mind, Shinichi took a deep breath, and said, “Do your worst.”

“That’s what I planned.” Answered the masked man as he raised his arms, and disappeared in a spiral whirl.

Whiish Whiish Whiish

Suddenly, a series of tree stems appeared out of the ground and entangled around his body.

‘Mokuton?! Damn, he is not planning to play around this time!’ thought as he felt his Chakra draining.
