"Okay," Shisui said and released his genjutsu. Both of them woke up from their slumber ready to attack, but to their bad luck, they only saair of dark red glowing eyes once again.

  Their eyes became pletely white, as if there were no pupils in their eyes in the first pce. If they didn’t know better, Team Shadow would have thought that Shisui killed those two root members.

  But what Shisui was doing was entirely different; he was reading the memories of those two root members. With his Mangekyo Sharingan, this could be done in seds, but he was at it for 10 mihe reason being, reading someone’s mind forcefully may end up damaging that person’s brain, even making them brain dead if the force was too much. Since Shisui still had very important use for them, he was making sure that their brains would not be harmed during the procedure.

  After reading the memories, he woke them up again, only to pce them in a genjutsu once again, after which he sent them back to their post as if nothing had happened.

  ...

  Both of them were once again standing in their positions with the memories of the st 10 minutes erased from their minds, but there were some new memories in their heads, like their post was now ged. They now had to guard the captives' room, and sihey had ied so mu those captives, their security was top priority. In case of any emergency, they had to be transported to Konoha alive.

  Both of these were plete opposites of what the actual orders were, but due to the genjutsu capabilities of Mangekyo Sharingan, there was no way these two in rank ninjas could guess that. So, acc to their new orders, they went to the room where the captives were kept.

  “We are ordered to switch over positions; you guys are on guard duty till further notice,” one of the root ninjas said.

  “Are you sure? We didn’t get any such order,” the ninja who was guarding the room said.

  “Yes, there is some unusual movement in the Land of Iron for some time. The leader asked for some struards to be pced for the time being,” the guard firmed.

  Though the ninja who was guarding the room was suspicious, once he sehat both of them still had their seals intact, his doubts vanished. It was almost impossible for someoo pce them isu, and even if someone somehow did, root ninjas could sehat from their seals. After firming that, the guard sed.

  ...

  “Sir, new guards are here,” Satoshi said.

  “Good, our pn is w. Let's make sure all of the root ninjas guarding the civilians are under genjutsu before we make any move,” Shisui said.

  “Yes, sir,” the others said.

  And Shisui once agaied the same procedure, sending a e as a wolf, making the root ninjas unscious, and then pg them under genjutsu once again. Though time-ing, by using this method, it was easy for them to aplish both tasks: saving the captives and subduing as many root ninjas as possible without killing them.

  But even the higher-ups of Konoha khe most they could do was bring back the in rank root ninjas. The ninjas at the jonin rank are specially trained against genjutsu and mind trol, and had to be eliminated swiftly before someone from the Land ot an inkling of what was happening uheir nose.

  After repeating the same thing for some time, almost 25 in were under genjutsu and they were tasked to protect the captives in case an attack occurred. After doing that, Shisui returo the temporary base of Team Shadow.

  “It is time to begin part 2 of our pn,” Shisui said.

  “Sir, there are still 15 ninjas left in the base and they will surely attack us. Sihey are trained for effit killing, I think we should do the same,” one of the Anbu ninjas said.

  “Don’t worry. Satoshi and I will try to handle as many jonin as we . You guys will mostly have to take care of in. Mainly focus on subduing them without killing them, but if you ’t, then kill them directly without a sed thought. If you have to fight against a jonin, try to stall for some time. There is o even think about subduing them; either kill them or stall enough for either me or Satoshi to e to your aid. Any doubts?” Shisui said.

  “No, sir.” The pn was already discussed; everyone kheir role. But the battlefield tains way too many variables to at for. One wrong move and the whole pn may fall into ruin. That’s why the tension was uandable. But having two elite jonin, full knowledge of the enemy, and a surprise factor, victory was almost certain.

  As per pn, Shisui went to the gate and unleashed all of his chakra. The arm at the gate went off like crazy. The new guards didn’t even think about cheg the sourd just called for reinfort because they felt the enormous amount of chakra Shisui had released.

  Within seds, all of the 10 jonin were at the gate. Their leader was a ninja from the Yamanaka . With his mind-trolling power and ability to read minds effortlessly, he was the perfect didate for being the leader of such a base where privad secrecy were of utmost importance. He was the person Shisui was warned about. Even though trolling the mind of an Uchiha, especially oh a Mangekyo Sharingan, was almost impossible, this couldn’t be said for his teammates.

  If Satoshi somehow became mind-trolled and lost his life to a jonin, it would be a very big loss for Konoha. The same goes for Shingi and others.

  After those 10 jonin, 3 other in also arrived at the gate.

  “Where are the rest of our members?” Toshiro Yamanaka asked.

  “We don’t know, sir, but we sensed a very high amount of chakra. Even though it was from a single individual, the amount was twice your chakra reserve.”

  Sioshiro was a Yamanaka, who were not particurly famous for having a high amount of chakra, anyone else may not think having twice the amount of chakra than a Yamanaka is a great feat. But those present knew how much chakra Toshiro possessed, sed only to Fū Yamanaka, right-hand man of Danzo and greatest talent of the Yamanaka . Having a lineage of both the Senju and Yamanaka s, Toshiro had a huge chakra reserve among jonin. If someone had twice the amount of chakra than him, then that person is sure to be ae jonin. There is no such person in the Land of Snow, so either a great ninja vilge found out about this base, or someone from Konoha arrived here. Both of these situations are bad, and seeing hoerson didn’t barge ihe base, he/she must be aware of the safety seals ihe base.

  “Ryohei Nakamura, go and check the situation. Don’t resort to fighting directly; the person may be from Konoha,” Toshiro said to his sed in and.

  Ryohei Nakamura is a civilian ninja who specializes in agility, plemented well with his lightning release, making him the perfect person for such a task. With his speed, evading an attad calling for help should be child’s py.

  Ryohei nodded his head and disappeared from his position, appearing 40 meters away from Shisui, who was standing in front of the gate just outside the range of the seals.

  “Shisui Uchiha, why are you here?” Ryohei was momentarily surprised, then raised his guard pletely. Either the person in front of him is Shisui Uchiha or an imposter. And there was no way he could guess the truth unless Shisui used his Sharingan, because imitating a kekkei genkai, and that too a dojutsu, is very difficult.

  Shisui also uood that and activated his Sharingan all the way to Mangekyo Sharingan. Seeing that, Ryohei at least became certain that the person in front of him was Shisui Uchiha, the real one.

  “I want to have a talk with Toshiro Yamanaka. I have urgent orders from Lord Third,” Shisui said, maintaining a calm posure.

  “Okay, you e inside,” Ryohei said.

  “No, ask your leader to e outside,” Shisui said, not hostile but in a firm tone, with no-nonseached to it.

  Ryohei sighed in his mind. Shisui clearly knew about the seal and was wary of them too. Since he was on an official mission, the result is not going to be good for sure.
