Chapter 277 Sasuke, I'm Sorry!
Sasuke was forced to stop and immediately turned to look at Kurotsuchi.
"Have you seen Itachi?"
"I have seen it. When I was caught by those bastards, I saw the Uchiha Itachi you mentioned. At least the companion next to him called him Mr. Itachi..."
Kurotsuchi responded.
"So, he is really here?"
Sasuke was overjoyed after hearing this, but he was worried that if his enemy Itachi was not here, then his trip would be in vain.
Now if you are sure that the other party is there, it will be easier to handle.
Just find him and kill him!
"Do you know where he is now?"
"Not sure, but there's a good chance it's still inside Iwagakure..."
"Okay, I'll go there!"
Sasuke was anxious and ready to go immediately.
But he was stopped by Kakashi:
"Calm down! We're not sure where the other party is yet."
"Even if Itachi is in Iwagakure Village, he is surrounded by those monsters, and you can't get through alone!"
"Even if I am alone, I must find him! Kill him!"
Sasuke's eyes were determined and unmoved.
Hatred is his only emotion at this stage besides love.
"Sasuke, stop! I won't let you die." Kakashi scolded.
If necessary, he didn't mind knocking Sasuke out with force to prevent him from dying.
Sasuke glared at Kakashi, showing no mercy, with the intention of taking action.
Just then.
Kurotsuchi continued: "There is another way to enter Iwagakure Village, but it is not very safe."
"Say it!" Sasuke shouted immediately with joy.
"What's so bad about it? I don't owe you anything. And the way I said is to go through the tunnel we retreated from and then return to Iwagakure Village."
"And there are secret underground passages?"
Kakashi was also surprised.
"Of course, the secret passage in our Iwagakure Village is not easy." Onoki said with rare pride.
Without this tunnel, they wouldn't be able to save Kurotsuchi.
"Then can we retreat from the tunnel?" Kakashi asked hurriedly.
"no."
"Those monsters can sneak into the ground at will and retreat from the tunnel, which will only make them more dangerous..."
"And the nearest tunnel exit is not nearby, so so many people can't enter."
Ohnoki was still very rational and directly rejected this suicide proposal.
"Then you still said that you can use the tunnel to enter the Iwagakure Village?" Sasuke yelled, he hated this feeling of dashed hope.
"Find a ninja who is good at earth escape and he can naturally take you to the nearest tunnel entrance."
Kurotsuchi explained casually.
Ohnoki immediately criticized: "Kurotsuchi, don't encourage others to seek death! This is too dangerous..."
"Let me tell you, he doesn't have the guts to go there. Besides, there are so many monsters underground, and if he goes there, he is looking for death..."
Kurotsuchi teased without leaving any trace, making Sasuke's anger level rise higher and higher.
"Okay. Sasuke, don't think about this problem."
"Stick to the defense well, and when the support from the main force arrives, we will be able to pass."
Kakashi patted Sasuke and comforted him.
"Okay, I'll be patient."
Sasuke suppressed his emotions and nodded in response.
His behavior made Kakashi relax his vigilance a little.
Then, Sasuke came to Kurotsuchi in a few steps and took the initiative to thank him.
"Thank you for the information."
"No need to thank you. I just said, you definitely don't have the courage..."
Before Kurotsuchi could finish his words, he saw Sasuke suddenly open his two Magatama Sharingan eyes and activate the genjutsu.
The next second, Kurotsuchi was shaken, as if controlled by an illusion.
Then he immediately formed the seal and performed the spell:
"Escape from Earth: Sneak in the Earth!"
The solid sand and gravel at the foot of the black soil turns into fluid, allowing it to dive in and move;
He picked up Sasuke and dived into the quicksand, moving towards the nearest tunnel entrance.
"broken!"
"Kurotsuchi!"
"Sasuke!"
This sudden change made Kakashi Onoki and Naruto dumbfounded.
Then they realized that it was most likely Kurotsuchi controlled by Sasuke using genjutsu, so that she could take him into the tunnel and sneak into Iwagakure.
"Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke, Sasuke?"
Naruto panicked and quickly grabbed Kakashi, looking anxious.
Even if he wanted to catch up, he wouldn't be able to escape, and he wouldn't know which direction Sasuke and the others were moving in.
Kakashi's face turned dark, and he secretly sighed that it was really difficult to take care of these problem children!
Fortunately, I didn’t give birth to a baby!
But now that the matter had come to this, he couldn't leave Sasuke alone, so he immediately asked Ohnoki for help.
"Lord Tsuchikage..."
"You bastards of Konoha, my granddaughter! I just rescued her, are your bastard brats going to take her to die again? I will fight with you..."
Onoki was so angry that he wanted to eat these bastards Kakashi alive.
"Lord Tsuchikage, I know you are angry, but it is still important to get them back now!"
"Does anyone else here know the location of the tunnel? I need a guide!"
Kakashi explained quickly.
He was also good at earth escape, but he urgently needed someone to guide him; otherwise he wouldn't know which direction Kurotsuchi and the others were moving.
"It's just me. The tunnels are all top secret, and not many people in the entire Iwagakure Village know all the tunnel network maps."
"In that case, that's offensive!"
Kakashi was very straightforward, and directly mentioned Ohnoki in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
Then he activated the Earth Submergence Technique.
"Hey? Wait..."
Amidst the stunned exclamation, Ohnoki was instantly taken underground by Kakashi.
Only Naruto was left alone in the wind.
"Huh?"
"Teacher Kakashi, there's me too, take me with you!"
"I haven't gotten on the car yet!"
"I want to go too!"
Naruto shouted anxiously, why was he left alone?
So he also jumped up, like diving, and plunged into the softened quicksand.
Unfortunately, he was trapped in place by the rapidly hardening rock and soil after swimming only two steps.
Half of his body was stuck underground.
It was only because the medical ninja next to him pulled him out that he was lucky enough not to suffocate in the soil...
...
It took more than a minute.
Kurotsuchi took Sasuke and swam underground, and came to the entrance to the tunnel network.
The two got out of the soil and stood in the deep tunnel.
"Is this the underground secret passage leading to the Hidden Rock Village?"
"Yes."
Kurotsuchi responded dully, as if he was really controlled by the illusion.
"Direct access?"
"No."
"Then lead me into the Hidden Rock Village. When I get there, I will break the illusion and let you come back."
Sasuke ordered coldly.
He didn't like to use illusions to control people, but in order to find his lifelong enemy Itachi, he had no choice but to attack Kurotsuchi.
However, this was his blood feud, and he didn't want to implicate innocent people.
When they arrived at the Hidden Rock Village, he would let Kurotsuchi go.
"Okay."
Kurotsuchi began to lead the way dully, and Sasuke followed quickly.
But the two didn't walk a few steps.
Not far behind Sasuke, a white Zetsu suddenly emerged from the wall of the tunnel.
"Have you been discovered? Then we can only kill this monster."
Sasuke turned around, drew out his kunai, and prepared to attack.
But he found that this white Zetsu seemed a little different from other monsters?
There are two halves of Nepenthes serrulate on both sides of the head, and only half of the body is white, and the other half is black?
"What is this?"
White Zetsu looked at Sasuke with fiery eyes, and smiled and reminded:
"Uchiha Sasuke, be careful behind you?"
"Behind me?"
Sasuke was shocked and wanted to dodge.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Kurotsuchi made a close-range 0-frame hand knife, directly hitting Sasuke on the back of the neck, knocking him out on the spot!
