Ye Lunhui was moving very fast, and after he had distanced himself from the giant tree, his body's strength recovered quickly. He had really used up all his strength to shake off the vine just now.

The distance between them was not far to begin with, and Itachi soon caught up. They also knew that this mission was basically a complete failure, and they had alerted the enemy, so they had to be more careful next time.

"Is everything okay?"

"No, I think it's a bit strange." Ye Lun recalled the scene just now and became more determined, "That's Shenwei. What's going on? Why is there another Shenwei?"

But judging from the result, that person helped him, otherwise he would have really accomplished the "three consecutive stabs".

This was something Itachi didn't understand, but the most important thing now was to find a place to hide, and Rinnegan wanted to go to the outer circle, but was stopped by Itachi, who used his shadow clone to snatch the credentials and escaped, while the three of them hid in a nearby house.

If someone saw them escaping, it would buy the three of them some time. The owner of the house was a medical ninja and could be easily hypnotized, so the three of them hid in the basement.

The basement was a little dark, and Gaara's injuries seemed to have worsened from the previous run. He sat down against the wall, breathing heavily, "What should I do next?"

Looking at the wood carving in front of him and the scroll on the ground, he could guess the function of this thing. It seems that Uchiha Itachi is really more terrifying than the rumors.

"I'm not sure, but can't you come in? Have you ever thought about how to get out?" Ye Lunhui was still thinking about the matter of Shenwei. It was such a subtle feeling. What was going on?

Gaara shook his head, "It was unexpected that I was able to get in. I don't know how to describe it, it's like walking through that door and arriving at the Uchiha Mansion."

The gate? Ye Lunhui frowned, "Itachi said that the gate is fake, and it will be triggered as long as you get close to it."

"That's why I thought it was strange. I just stepped forward and went in."

Space-time ninjutsu.

Itachi and Ye Lunhui both understood what this meant in an instant, just like today's Kamui. Then, Ye Lunhui had another question, "How can you be sure that this is Otogakure? And you passed the news to Konoha."

Gaara was also confused when he heard the news, "I didn't have time to pass on the message, and I'm not even sure this is Otogakure."

"It's just that the Anbu said that there was a ninja who called himself Otogakure appearing near the Land of Birds, and that it looked suspicious, so I went to check it out, but I accidentally fell into a tunnel from the other side of the mountain, and then I couldn't leave and could only move forward, so I didn't have time to pass on the information."

There was silence.

Ye Lunhui took out the intelligence scroll from his pocket and handed it to Gaara. "This is the intelligence we received. It's signed by you. Lady Tsunade was also suspicious, but I still want to believe that it was your work. I didn't expect it wasn't you."

The atmosphere became a little depressing. Gaara stroked the scroll. These were not his handwriting at all. The Hokage should be able to see that, but he signed it as himself. Someone was using his name to convey information to Konoha.

"Who is helping us behind the scenes? Or is he planning something to involve all of us?" Ye Lunhui was unable to think.

Gaara was able to enter Otogakure because of the work of that mysterious man, and the information was also delivered by him. In addition to the three forces known to Ye Lunhui in the dark, there is another person who is spying on everything.

Ye Lunhui also leaned against the wall, curled himself up into a ball, raised his head slightly and closed his eyes, trying to empty his mind and think about whether he had forgotten some important information.

"The masked man seems to want a Sasuke who is crazier, more cruel, walks into darkness and cannot turn back." Itachi, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke the first sentence. He didn't know how to describe his current thoughts.

It was a mistake from the beginning. The masked man killed Kokoro Tenma, bringing himself the cursed red eyes, and then brought himself the unfortunate red eyes for Sasuke, and just like that, it was passed down.

The same is true for the Mangekyō Sharingan. When a pair of eyes appear, another pair of eyes disappears.

so cycle.

Ye Lunhui could also feel it, "The giant tree favors Sasuke. We were able to enter the mansion because of the giant tree's preference for me. Now it seems that it also favors Sasuke, and more than me, so we may not be able to get closer. The masked man knows that I want to cut down the giant tree, so..."

He suddenly started and looked at Itachi, "The masked man mentioned Wood Release, right?"

Hearing what Ye Lunhui said, Itachi also thought of the scene at that time, "Yes, Wood Release: Wood Vine Technique."

Hashirama has never appeared. Could this masked man be Hashirama Senju? Ah, that's impossible. If it was Hashirama Senju, he wouldn't have attacked Konoha. That at least means that man has Hashirama's cells. It's so weird. I can't find the reason at all.

All of a sudden, they were stuck in a deadlock and completely passive. They didn't know the identity of the masked man, they only knew that he wanted to make the giant tree bloom.

"But the sacred tree has already blossomed." Ye Lunhui whispered. That means the cause and effect has already begun, and will eventually be severed, right?

"We have to go and take Naruto away." Gaara still put Naruto first.

After the previous battle, he realized that Sasuke had become extremely terrifying. Maybe he could still maintain a bit of clarity now, but who knew if one day Sasuke would even hurt Naruto?

Ye Lunhui naturally knew the importance of Naruto, but now he could no longer get close to the Uchiha mansion, let alone save people. The fact that he was still alive was a blessing from his ancestors. Time was running out, so they had to hurry up and bide their time before making a plan.

The three of them took turns to stand guard and recuperate while the patrol team searched house to house. Fortunately, they were unable to resist the illusion, so the three of them were safe for the time being, but it wouldn't last long.

Ye Lunhui was still thinking, but he seemed to have grasped a flash of inspiration, "If Kabuto Yakushi had corrupted Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Obito would sometimes regain clarity, just like my father, then is it possible that he was transmitting information?"

He thought about it for so long, and this was the most likely reason. The three forces were competing with each other, but Yakushi Kabuto was not seen in the previous battle, which meant that he was most likely spying.

The only way is to let Obito, who possesses the time-space ninjutsu, come. And because of Obito's occasional clarity of mind, he will let Gaara come in to save Naruto.

So, the battle under the giant tree has been known to Kabuto Yakushi. What is his purpose?

Kabuto Yakushi said that he would become the only god. If part of his power had been absorbed by him, it would mean that he also had a certain ghostly aura and would be protected by the giant tree, which would allow Obito to enter Otonagakure at will.

Or, it was the influence of Senjutsu Chakra that allowed Kamui to carry the influence of Senjutsu, allowing it to move freely in the barrier that was also created by natural forces.

What role did Obito play in this? Did the masked man abandon Obito as a chess piece because Obito had never betrayed Konoha...
