Naruto Shadow King Ch 144 : The Plan
🕑 Added 2024-12-09 07:11:14 +0000 UTC"Oh, this is totally a different place, hey Shika, What kind of jutsu is this ?" Karin entered the portal created by Shika, at first she didn't knew what to expect but since it was Shika, she just followed, but upon entering she found herself in a completely different place.
This wasn't Konoha, though this place was also a forest, but she could tell that she wasn't in the land of fire anymore.
There was a shine in her eyes for some reason, and Shika could understand her feelings.
This might be a shonen world with many different kinds of power, Ninja who can breathe fire from there mouths to toads were are a size of an mountain. However the number of Shinobi who actually get in touch with this side of the extreme in this world ins't much.
Many shinobi remain mediocre in their life and maybe the only time they see this kind of Jutsu is at when those fireballs are targeted towards them in war or that mountain-sized Toad in falling on top of them. Usually, those are the last thing they see.
However, space-time ninjutsu is even rarer then that powerful jutsus. The only two known people who could have use a space-time justu were both Hokage. And both were a legend in their own rights.
"This is the land of Snow. Though I believe that now its call the land of Spings.
This will be our temporary hideout for the time being." Shika reply as he continue to walk. Saving Princess Kazahana had a little perks, back then he look around the entire land and knew that if ever he defected or needed a place to stay, then this place would be the best to come in.
His relationship with Koyuki Kazahana too was quite good, he can easily get help from her if he decides to asked for it, however he didn't wanted.
"What are you planning exactly ?" Sasuke who was almost blinding following Shika finally spoke up. He didn't care were they are making there little hideout, what he care was what kind of power Shika was hiding, being able to make portals, that powerful gravitational attack he used against Danzo back there and all other sorts of powers he has shown till now.
He was getting envious, he wanted that kind of power, only then that he can go after Itachi, though now that he knew a part of the truth, he wasn't that aggressive about hunting down Itachi, but he still planned to go after him.
"What I am planning is to form a team and get stronger..." Shika finally stopped, it was time to explain his plan to the two fello founding members of his team.
"Team ?
What Kind of team ?"
"World saving kind..."
"Huh ?"
Shika and Karin back and fort, their conversation made both Karin and Sasuke even more confuse.
"Let me explain...
You already saw, that by killing Danzo and the elders, I completely went againts the village.
I knew that this was coming, Karin might not understand, but Sasuke you should already have an idea when I partly explain that things are not as simple as it seen when it comes to Uchiha clan's massacred and Itachi...."
Shika looked at Sasuke with serious look, and only got a nod from the duck hair boy.
"HM..."
"Wait a minute, what are we are talking about here ? I am lost..."
"Don't bother, this in an internal matter about he Uchiha clan anyway, if you wish to know then I will explain later.
I knew that Danzo and the upper echelon of the village management are definately involved.
So I created condition in which Danzo will attack me or even wants to take me out. I wanted to confirm my suspicions. And he did kidnapped me. Even blackmailing to do his beating, that all was under my plan.
Though he also went after you Karin which I didn't anticipated, especially when you were protected by Guy.
Sorry for that, it was my fault, I should have known that he bastard will pull a stund like this behind everyone's back." Shika bowed a little, he was really apologetic about what happen with Karin, and in the entire plan when he saw Danzo pulling out Karin's red hair from his pocket, that was the only time he lost his cool.
"Ah, don't worry, you save me right, that's all that matters..." Karin flush at the sudden apology, she hurridly wave her hands and stop Shika.
"Why get yourself kidnapped, surely there were better ways to learn about the truth..." Sasuke just roll his eyes at Karin's and Shika's antics and asked with this usual emo look on his face.
"Yeah, sharp as always, yes I didn't had to get myself kidnapped by Danzo to know that, but I wanted to infiltrate Danzo's root.
The killing was always an idea that I had but I had no proof, getting kidnapped gave me that excuse.
But more importantly, I was able to find some disturbing things. If killing Danzo before was more of a personal vendetta, after learning about that thing, it almost became necessary to take him out before we leave the village." Shika said and then turn Sasuke.
"Sasuke, do you know about the Nine Tail's attack in the village." Shika asked to which Sasuke felt a little ridiculous, who in Konoha don't know about that, but knowing Shika, he knew that he meant something different.
“Do you know that after the Nine Tail’s attack, village’s treatment for the Uchiha clan worsen.”
Sasuke hearing this frown, though he didn’t know the reason but he just barely recall some conversation about clansmen talking about the village framing the clan for the sudden attack.
Of course back then he didn’t care and outright like a child believe that the village was wrong.
“When the Nine Tail’s attack took place, many people saw Sharingan in Nine Tail’s eye. I don’t know whether what I learn is the truth or not but it was obvious that the upper management of the village didn’t care.
Only after that incident that the clan was force to relocate at the outskirts of the village. Those higher ups were targeting the Uchiha clan, there is no doubt.” Shika said and both Sasuke’s and Karin’s felt contemplated.
“But if you know what I found out then you will wants to revive Danzo just so that you can kill him.” Shika sneered and said.
“Danzo was behind it….”Sasuke didn’t need Shika to said it, it was obvious how Shika was putting it.
“Yes… not only that but even the death of Shisui’s of the body flicker was his doing. But’s let focus on Nine Tail’s attack for now.
Danzo himself didn’t took action back then, rather he commission an Organization to do it. Can you guess which Organization it would be ?” Shika said to which Sasuke all but pause.
“…Akatsuki.”
“Bringo…
The deeper I got the more it became evident that Akatsuki is involved in all this. Now the following information which I am about to give you is not something I got from Root, half is my on conjecture and half is something I got from outside sources.
It turns out out that Akatsuki are targeting the Jinchurki’s. They are after the Tail beasts. That why Itachi came to Konoha…” Shika explain and Sasuke’s almost immediately pick up on what Shika was trying to say.
“Naruto….”
“Exactly…” Shika signed.
“Learning that Danzo had dealing with this Organization including what kind of deranged research he had down with the help of Orochimaru and using first Hokage’s cells and Uchiha Sharingan. I couldn’t left him alive.
As for why I leave the village, as you already might have realized that it even after killing Danzo, staying in the village wouldn’t that hard if I wanted to. With all the proof I got from Root, I easily could have blackmail my way at clearing my name if my deeds got expose in the first place, which I am confident that would have happened.
I originally plan just deal with those elders and stay low after all. But I leave the village on purpose, now I am planning on going after the Akatsuki.” Shika said, Sasuke hearing this wasn’t surprise but Karin was almost panicking internally.
“Why you want to go after those Akatsuki Guys now ?” Karin asked with flustered look on her face.
“ Because I have questions…
Questions which could only be answered by Itachi Uchiha. And I wants to stop Akatsuki from hunting down Jinchuriki’s.” Shika reply with a firm tone on his face.
“And for that you plan to become a defected Ninja and build an team of your own….” Karin asked with the ridiculous face.
“Pretty much. …” Shika shrugged.
“What Pretty Much? You could have done that from the village as well. Like any normal Shinobi you know ?” She said with annoyed tone. She really didn’t wanted to be haunted down if not necessary, thought if give a choice between staying in the village and following Shika, she would still choose the latter.
“ NO… that’s not possible, becuase what we are going against is much more dangerous than what the village is ready for.
That why we are here, to get ready and strong. Taken action against Akatsuki before they take action against us…
