Is he alive?

Examining the nails, I wondered what to do if I was deceived while I was waiting for ninjas from the village of the leaf. Sitting under a tree, I did not lower my vigilance as I expected a lie in exchange.

A strange-looking bird sat on a branch nearby and began to peck at a leaf. Looking out of the corner of my eye, I calmly raised a small pebble with smooth movements and clicked on it, firing in the direction of the bird. Instead of exploding with blood and feathers from such a projectile, the bird exploded with ink. Realizing what kind of team was coming to me, I relaxed a little. Since the bird is here, they are also nearby. And since I didn't spot them on the ground ...

Coming out from under the crown of trees, I looked upward squinting from the sunlight. High in the sky, I saw an absolutely not suspicious black and white bird. Standing in an open place, I began to wait for them to come down to me. For a few more minutes, the bird circled as if everyone doubted it was not a trap. And when the bird finally dived and landed, I met the eyes of those who were on it.

"Your name is Sai, isn't it? You draw well. " - I praised him.

"Thanks to. We are meeting for the first time. How do you know me?" - Jumping off the bird and standing next to the others in the ranks, he calmly answered, without changing his face.

"Looked through the list of Root members." - I closed the topic.

Might Guy stepped forward as the leader of the group and began the conversation in a serious tone.

"Renjiro, Where is Kakashi." - not seeing him next to me, I saw how everyone tensed except for the pink-haired and Naruto, who was seriously looking at me as if pondering something.

"I'll say right away that I'm a clone, and when I disappear, all the information received will pass to the real Renjiro. So if you deceive me ... And about Kakashi, he is now near the village and is waiting for the outcome of our negotiations. " - I shrugged.

Naruto broke down and decided to get in. - "How do we know that you are telling the truth? What if he's no more alive? "

"Yesterday he was quite alive when he tried to escape twice, and when he failed he said that whatever I wanted, the village would never trade its secrets for an ordinary ninja."

As if to refute his friend's words, Guy slowly pulled the scroll from his back and handed it to me. Looking at me at any moment ready to explode, he slowly approached.

Taking the scroll from his hands, I opened it expecting a trick. But there was only text, illustration formulas. After activating the sharingan, I quickly began to memorize everything under the strange looks of the others. After five minutes of silence, I rolled up the scroll and gave it back with a smile. Even though it was a copy of the real one, the scroll contained all the techniques I needed except a few. Apparently they thought that I didn't know what kind of techniques were there and decided to hide them from me. Alas, they did not expect that I needed only one technique and it was recorded there.

Unholy Resurrection Technique. Now I have it.

"Now that you've got everything you wanted, let Kakashi go." Said Might Guy seriously.

Even though I am a clone, I clearly felt the second group behind them. Probably ANBU. But ignoring them, I replied: "Indeed, though half, but you gave what I was looking so hard for all over the continent. This copy does not even contain half of the techniques from real scroll like the Minato secret technique, the body denial technique, the second Hokage's invention water god self-destruction technique, and many others. "

With each new word, Guy began to sweat and worry, thinking that I had discovered a deception and I would kill Kakashi.

"But nevertheless, I will keep my word. After I disappear, the real Renjiro will put Kakashi at the gate. Anything else before I leave? " - scrolling repeating the information from the scroll in my head, I strengthened this knowledge. Naruto stepped forward and asked me.

"Why are you doing this? Why did you leave the village, and now you are making an enemy of us? "

Rolling my eyes, I replied: "I can see right through you. Don't think you can understand why Sasuke left if you can understand me. I have my own goals in this world. Sasuke has his own. But it was those who lived in this damned village that pushed us. Those who hated and feared our clan. Naruto, you may not believe me ... but what if I told you that the one who gave the order to kill the Uchiha clan was Hiruzen Sarutobi and Dazno? "

"I do not believe in this. The third would never do that! " Naruto got angry.

"Yeah, also, he would never break the promise to Kushina and Minato in their last seconds of life that he would take care of you as a child and protect you. In the end, all he did was raise an obedient lamb out of you, looking from afar, smoking a pipe, as the whole village hunted you. That's all for now." - Answering with a gloomy voice, I decided to leave.

Having folded the seal of dispersion, I exploded in a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Sitting on a rocking chair watching three people tied up, I waited for news from the clone. Kakashi was unconscious in the other room awaiting the outcome of the negotiations.

Suddenly, memories rushed into my head. Rubbing my head as if from a migraine, I checked the new information about the technique. Drawing out a long scroll, I began to write the seals of the contract on it with a brush. When I finished, I took out a test tube and shook out everything that was in it to the center of the print. Pulling out from the corner, an old fishing house that had been abandoned many years ago on a small island, a shaggy man whose legs and arms were hopelessly broken, I put him in front of the scroll. Having brought him to consciousness, I concentrated so as not to make a mistake and slowly made seals under the hum of the prisoner. Having poured chakra into the scroll, I felt like a breath of wind and activated my eyes and memorized the process. Out of nowhere, paper began to appear that covered the screaming man and soon completely covered him. After two seconds, the paper fell away and revealed a new face with black eyes. Blinking, the man looked at me not knowing where he was.

"Hey, who are you, where am I?"

"Come back where you came from." - having canceled the technique, I watched as the body fell and the corpse in the paper looked into nowhere. The first test was successful.

Having brought out the second loser, I put him in front of a new seal, which I quickly prepared. This time I took out the prepared material to call the one I wanted to see and ask a lot of questions. The test tube contained the hair of the one I was about to summon.

Having laid out hair neatly, I poured chakra into the scroll. The paper began to envelop the unlucky robber who decided to rob the boy with the wounded man and wrapped him completely .. She fell. Opening my mouth in surprise, I tested my theory. Having pulled this man crying with fear from the paper, I brought in the last remaining bandit, who, seeing the corpse and the crying drinking companion, began to panic himself. But he could not escape. This time I took material from one of the bandits alive and used the second live as a victim. The papers were wrapped again and released alive.

Sitting on my ass, I digested the information in shock. A living person cannot be summoned by the technique of wicked resurrection. Or someone who was consumed by the reaper.

Does this mean that Shisui is alive? Or was he consumed by this creature?

I got up and finished off the witnesses and set the house on fire with black fire. Grabbing Kakashi, I jumped out of the island in the center of the lake and ran towards the village. Having reached the gate of the village of the hidden leaf, I quietly disappeared while the guards jumped out of the booths and ran towards the unconscious Kakashi lying in front of the gate.

Having created a new target for myself, I ran towards Kumogakure. For tonight, my target will be one of the jоunin of the land of the hidden cloud.

The hunt can no longer be postponed.
