Capítulo 30: Chapter 30
Though Kaito did think training in the middle of the night was quite eccentric, at this moment, he really couldn't sleep.
Many things had happened since his return today, making it a bit hard for Kaito to digest all at once.
First, he met his old teammate, Nara Yaneko, who sneakily advised him to escape as soon as possible.
Then he ran into the kid Naruto and even teased him a few times in passing.
Finally, after returning, he was dragged to meet with Uchiha clan elder, resulting in a long conversation.
One could say that he encountered quite a bit today, and aside from the kid Naruto, the rest required Kaito's serious contemplation.
Moreover, he had planned to train intensively today. Since he couldn't sleep and Shisui happened to be around, Kaito simply decided to drag Shisui out to spar with him.
"This way, it can both foster our bond and allow me to adapt to my new abilities. Killing two birds with one stone, right?"
Murmuring to himself, Kaito quickly arrived at the third training ground.
Perhaps due to the time, the training ground was now deserted, with moonlight illuminating the grounds and adding an extraordinary sense of tranquility.
However, as Kaito stepped into the training ground, he suddenly furrowed his brows, sensing that something was amiss.
Though Kaito had never been a sensory ninja, he had been through a decade and a half of all kinds of battles since his transmigration, so his sense of danger was remarkably keen.
Halting his steps, Kaito began scanning his surroundings. He was actually curious, wondering who would be looking to give him trouble.
"Someone from the Uchiha clan? Unlikely. Although the internal strife is intense, they wouldn't just choose to attack randomly.
Could it be someone from Konoha? But it seems I haven't provoked them. Wait..."
Kaito suddenly recalled something. He hadn't forgotten his encounter with Naruto today, though it was just a brief exchange of words.
Could it be that Konoha is already this vigilant, or rather, is their hostility towards the Uchiha already at this point?
"Come out, don't make me nauseous like sewer rats."
Thinking to himself, Kaito directly called out, but he had already prepared himself for a fight.
Their sneaky trailing behind him made it hard for Kaito to believe they didn't have some ulterior motive. At the very least, they weren't likely to bear any goodwill!
Unfortunately, Kaito's words didn't seem to elicit any response, which led him to question if his instincts had failed him.
But Kaito wasn't about to let it go so easily. He took a deep breath, drew out several kunai, and in an instant, his eyes turned crimson red.
His gaze swept across the area, trying to determine the most likely locations for someone to hide.
With the aid of the Sharingan in just a moment, he pinpointed several spots. He didn't hesitate, swiftly flinging the kunai in his hand towards those places!
This time, he didn't use any special techniques because there was simply no need for it. After all, this was Konoha, and Kaito couldn't go full out without a reason.
"Cling, cling, cling..."
The kunai quickly penetrated into those hiding spots. In the next moment, the sound of metal collisions, accompanied by sparks, flickered in the night sky.
Alongside the continuous sounds, several figures suddenly leaped out from these hiding spots, and their emergence confirmed Kaito's suspicions.
Because these individuals were collectively dressed in black ninja combat uniforms, their chests adorned with a piece of silver armor, and their faces concealed behind animal masks.
"Anbu?" Kaito curiously asked. In fact, he wasn't sure if these people were from the Anbu, but he had a hunch that this likely had something to do with his encounter with Naruto today.
"Uchiha Kaito, you should come with us." At this moment, the leader of the Anbu, with an indifferent tone, spoke.
His voice was akin to a machine, devoid of any emotion, and its icy chilliness caused Kaito to furrow his brows.
"If you want me to come with you, then perhaps you should make clear who you are."
Kaito remained unaffected by the words of this individual. He had some things that he needed to confirm.
"Moreover, even if I were to go with you, you should give me a reason."
"We don't need a reason to carry out our duties."
The Anbu member shook his head outright, his tone becoming even colder, uncomfortably chilling to the bone.
"You have two choices. One, to come with us peacefully, or two, we take you by force."
Upon hearing this hardline stance, Kaito was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. Now, he was certain who these people in front of him were.
He was well acquainted with Shisui, hence he naturally knew about the modus operandi of the Anbu. When the Anbu apprehended someone, it was always based on tangible evidence, they wouldn't lay a hand without giving a reason.
However, there's one department that wouldn't care much for explanations, they apprehend without needing a reason.
Even when they kill, they merely justify it with 'you threatened Konoha's safety' and dismiss it, no reason needed for discussion.
Thinking of this, Kaito's eyes started to turn dangerous. Danzo was one of the characters he loathed the most in the original storyline, bar none.
Full of sanctimonious expressions, all rhetoric in speech, but all business in mind, probably nobody would like such a person.
Upon this realization, Kaito wasted no more time in idle chatter, and immediately assumed a combat stance.
Given his identity, he wouldn't be aware of the existence of Root, but this could serve to his advantage. He could frame those in front of him as impostors of the Anbu!
"It seems you haven't quite grasped my background, one of my friends happens to be a member of the Anbu."
The three tomoe in Kaito's eyes spun rapidly, the chakra within him primed and ready, and his voice began to deepen.
"The Anbu doesn't operate the way you do. While I'm not sure why you're doing this, impersonating the Anbu is a serious crime."
"It seems like you're not planning to come with us, huh?"
The leader eyed Kaito's movements, exhibiting no reaction, as if performing a routine task, he casually delivered a monologue, and lightly waved his hand.
"If that's the case, then kill him."
As the words fell, the other Root ninjas didn't respond, but they practically rushed toward Kaito in unison almost instantly.
Observing their aggressive stance, Kaito knew this matter probably wouldn't end peacefully.
And him, who already disliked Danzo, at this moment detested Danzo, this troublemaker, even more.
"But since you sent your men to their deaths, don't blame me."
Kaito thought to himself as the three tomoe in his eyes spun faster and faster.
He suddenly flashed a smile, ignoring the group of ninjas rushing toward him, he said softly,
"A bunch of beetle-like fools, today you'll get a proper taste of the power of the Uchiha!"
In an instant, the three tomoe in Kaito's eyes merged into one, and the suppressed chakra brimming with a sense of destruction burst forth...
