Chapter 192 Clues
Chapter 192 Clues
"Young lady, you mustn't go there! Bandits are roaming around!"
An old man carrying firewood saw the direction Uchiha Yoru was heading and quickly called out to him.
She stopped and, judging from the voice, thought it belonged to an elderly man. "Grandpa, I know you. I won't go far; I'll just pick some wild vegetables nearby."
"Thank you for reminding me anyway." Uchiha Ye smiled gratefully.
Upon hearing this, the old man felt relieved and carried the firewood home.
For the people living in this area, picking wild vegetables to survive is a common thing; they are lucky to be alive.
After asking around and getting information out of her, Uchiha Ye traveled for two days before finally arriving at this place. This time, she was determined to achieve her goal of recruiting followers.
"Young lady, are you going the wrong way? This is not a place for you."
Although many of the bandits were not good people, most of them were forced to join just to survive, and the one in front of her was one of them.
"Uncle, that's why I came here. Lead the way." She looked nonchalant, determined to achieve her goal.
The bearded man in front of him looked at the figure of the person in front of him as if he were seeing his own daughter, the one who had died at the hands of this group of bandits.
He couldn't let this girl follow in his footsteps, so he stopped her directly.
"Girl, if you want to get through, you'll have to get past me first!"
The next second, he collapsed to the ground.
"Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but you should get some sleep!"
Uchiha Ye muttered to himself and headed towards the bandit stronghold in this area.
Sure enough, her petite figure was very deceptive.
Sure enough, the group of bandits lying on the ground were filled with regret.
She swiftly and decisively killed those malicious bandits. Although being blind was somewhat inconvenient, her senses seemed to have improved considerably, which was not bad.
Just as she was preparing to integrate people, she began to lobby for expansion and strengthening.
Obito's reappearance made Uchiha Hachi want to curse, "Why is this guy here again?"
What happened to our agreement not to bother each other? Of course, that's just what she thought.
She suppressed her doubts and asked, "Is there something you need?"
When Obito arrived, he realized he had been tricked by White Zetsu, who claimed that Uchiha Hashirama was in a huge crisis... This was clearly not true; even blind, he was still restless.
But why is she so obsessed with clearing out the bandits? This world is beyond saving, what's the point of doing so much useless work?
Obito Uchiha decided to thwart her plan and, without offering any explanation, simply took her away.
"Fuck you..." Uchiha Ye was stunned for a moment, and then cursed in his heart the next second.
She didn't scold him to his face because she couldn't beat him now. She vowed that once she regained her strength, she would beat him up immediately, and even a god couldn't stop her.
Seeing the exasperated look on Uchiha Ha's face, Obito seemed to find it amusing.
After failing twice to recruit followers, Uchiha Ye began to review his actions in his mind, and unsurprisingly, he pointed the finger at White Zetsu.
Otherwise, how could it always happen so coincidentally? It must be White Zetsu who notifies them.
But something seemed off, and she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Obito, I need to see White Zetsu." Obito brought in the food, and Uchiha Ye made the request.
"I'll take you after we finish eating," Obito glanced at her and agreed.
"So easy to talk to?" A hint of suspicion flashed across her face as she silently began to eat.
"I'll feed you!" Obito couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the chopsticks from her hand.
When Uchiha Hatake first went blind, he was the one who took care of him, and feeding him was a regular occurrence.
Uchiha Ye didn't try to be clever; he opened and closed his mouth and ate his meal in cooperation.
After finishing her meal, she commented, "Don't buy this pork chop next time, the taste isn't very good."
"Okay." Obito was stunned for a moment when he said this. Why did he have to go along with her? He had queued for a long time to buy this meal.
He suppressed his strange emotions and said, "I'll take you out!"
"Ye, you were looking for me!" Bai Jue shouted happily.
"Okay, let's talk somewhere secluded first." Uchiha Ye nodded in the direction of the voice, completely unconcerned that Obito was still beside him.
Watching White Zetsu and Uchiha Ye leave, Obito felt incredibly frustrated. "Do those two think I don't exist?!"
He hadn't been interested in listening to their private conversations before, but thinking about what White Zetsu had said earlier, Obito became restless. Although he didn't believe Uchiha Yoru would fall for White Zetsu, 'What if?'
No, what does it matter to him who she likes?
Obito thought to himself, but his feet moved in the direction they were heading. "He's doing this for information, definitely not eavesdropping."
"White Zetsu, don't tell Obito about my whereabouts again..."
"Let me tell you..."
"..."
The simple-minded White Zetsu was completely taken aback.
Obito, who was nearby, twitched at the corner of his mouth as he listened. "How did she manage to link her whereabouts with dominating the ninja world and unifying peace without revealing her location?"
"And White Zetsu... to be turned by such blatantly fake words... unbelievable..." He held his head, unable to describe his current feelings.
He calmed himself down and continued listening to what else they had to say.
The more he listened, the darker his face became, and he could hardly control his emotions.
"These two guys, did they always have to complain about him every time they talked before?"
Thinking of this possibility, Obito's expression grew even worse, and he left with a cold face.
"Excuse me, sir, have you seen this person before?" Itachi asked as he walked along a forest path and saw an old man carrying firewood.
The old man glanced at the boy, took the photo, and a sense of familiarity flashed across his face. After a while, he slowly spoke, "I haven't seen him before, but I met a little girl wearing a mask a couple of days ago. Her figure looks quite similar. I don't know if she is the person you are looking for."
After the old man finished speaking, he pointed in a direction behind him. When he turned around, the boy had already disappeared.
Itachi arrived too late; the bandits' main camp was already deserted, leaving behind only some elderly, weak, women, and children.
He stood there for a long time, clutching the photo in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, a hesitant voice rang out, "Brother, are you here to help us?"
"There was an older sister who chased away the bad guys, and then suddenly someone appeared and took her away."
"That woman's figure looks just like the one in your photo."
Upon hearing this, Itachi became somewhat excited and inquired about the details.
He stayed there for a while, helping these people become financially capable before leaving.
He clearly remembered Ye saying something like, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Ye probably wanted to help people in this way, but things were ruined by others, so he helped her clean up the mess.
But Ye, when will I be able to find you? I miss you so much.
The thought of that masked man sent a chill down Itachi's spine. "I will definitely defeat you," he vowed in his heart.
