Chapter 151: Please Take Me Away!
Watching Mikoto unleash her pent-up rage and personally finish off Danzō, Oborotsuki slowly crossed his arms.
His powerful perception had already spread outward, completely grasping every situation within several kilometers.
Right now, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shisui, Itachi, and the other ANBU members had returned to Konoha and were rushing toward the hospital at full speed.
"What do you plan to do next? Stay here and negotiate with Konoha, or leave with me?"
Oborotsuki asked leisurely, looking at Mikoto.
At this point, there was no need to hide anything.
Konoha couldn't do anything to him anyway.
The world was about to change dramatically. Offending a single small village like Konoha was no big deal to Oborotsuki.
Even if all five great nations allied against him, he wouldn't be afraid.
Oborotsuki's gaze swept over Mikoto's graceful, curvaceous figure. His blood pressure rose instantly, and he felt a strong urge to take her right there on the spot.
"Danzō is dead… you've kept your promise."
"Now… take me away."
Mikoto slowly twisted the handle of the kunai still embedded in Danzō's chest, viciously grinding it several more times to make sure he was truly dead.
Only then did she speak in a low voice.
"There's one thing I should tell you in advance."
"If you still want me to continue seeking justice for the Uchiha clan, I won't refuse."
Oborotsuki looked at Mikoto's reaction and reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Mikoto fell silent for one or two seconds before slowly shaking her head to indicate it wasn't necessary.
What she truly worried about was Itachi.
Earlier, during the battle between Oborotsuki, Shisui, and Itachi, Oborotsuki had already demonstrated overwhelming power.
If he stayed any longer, with the crime of killing Danzō hanging over them, Konoha would never let them go.
And since Itachi and Shisui were loyal to the village, they naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
No matter who ended up paying the price—Oborotsuki or Konoha—Mikoto didn't want to see it happen.
"Please… take me away, Oborotsuki."
Mikoto requested softly.
"Alright."
Oborotsuki said nothing more. He activated Flying Thunder God and left Konoha Hospital with Mikoto.
Less than half a minute after they disappeared, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived with Shisui, Itachi, and the others in a rush.
Seeing the two collapsed ANBU guards at the door, they immediately knew something was terribly wrong.
Hiruzen hurried into the room and saw Danzō lying lifeless on the bed.
"Kirigakure!"
"They've gone too far!!"
Hiruzen stared at his old comrade, longtime rival, and the man who had carried Konoha's darkness on his shoulders for years—now nothing more than a gradually cooling corpse.
In an instant, raging fury ignited within him.
The subordinates behind him remained completely silent.
At that moment, Shisui stepped forward:
"Lord Third, let me and Itachi lead a pursuit team!"
Earlier at the battlefield outside the village, Uchiha Mikoto had appeared with little Sasuke and ultimately left with the man named Hōzuki Oborotsuki from Kirigakure.
Now, Mikoto was also implicated in Danzō's death.
As members of the Uchiha clan, Shisui and Itachi naturally had to demonstrate their loyalty to the village at this moment. The best way was to lead the pursuit and capture the fugitives!
Hearing Shisui's request, Hiruzen turned and looked at him and Itachi.
Itachi had suffered serious injuries earlier.
Though he appeared stable now, he would still need a period of rest to fully recover.
Moreover, considering that the one who fled with the enemy was Fugaku's wife—Mikoto, Itachi's own mother—
After brief consideration, Hiruzen felt it inappropriate to send Shisui and Itachi on the pursuit.
This wasn't just to avoid suspicion or prevent them from defecting as well.
It was also to protect these two rare geniuses.
No matter how angry he felt inside, he couldn't openly express hatred toward the Uchiha clan in front of Shisui and Itachi.
"Itachi's injuries require treatment. This matter doesn't need you two for now, Shisui."
"I will handle this personally!"
With that, Hiruzen turned to Kakashi:
"Immediately inform the entire village—enter wartime lockdown!"
…
Oborotsuki brought Uchiha Mikoto to a mountain near the border of the Land of Fire.
There was a cave here.
Once, he had stayed in this very cave with Yūhi Kurenai.
The scene now felt eerily familiar.
"We'll rest here for a while."
"There are some things I need to make clear to you."
Oborotsuki glanced at little Sasuke, still sound asleep in Mikoto's arms. His heartbeat quickened, his breathing growing slightly rapid.
Mikoto also appeared nervous and uneasy, lowering her head in silence.
"Killing your enemy with your own hands—avenging the Uchiha clan—feels good, doesn't it?"
After some rustling, Oborotsuki walked over and took Mikoto's hand, guiding it to grip his now engorged length.
Mikoto instinctively flinched but ultimately didn't pull away completely. Instead, she obediently followed his lead and held on firmly.
"Even if Danzō is dead… what does it change? Everything is already irreversible."
"Everything has changed beyond repair…"
Mikoto's expression was pained and aggrieved.
She replied softly to Oborotsuki's earlier question, head still lowered.
Hearing this, Oborotsuki became even more excited. Blood surged, heartbeat pounding.
"Life is full of hardship. The most important thing is to look forward."
"Look on the bright side—at least you and your child are still alive, right?"
"As long as you're alive, there's still hope."
"You've already taken revenge. Now it's time to plan properly for yourself and little Sasuke's future."
"If you really want to do something… you can start right now."
Oborotsuki said, the corners of his mouth slowly rising.
He guided Mikoto's hand, teaching her through action how to move.
At first, Mikoto couldn't let go of the knot in her heart. Her movements were clumsy and hesitant.
But with Oborotsuki's patient guidance and gentle reassurance,
Gradually, Mikoto began to follow along more naturally.
And as she slowly let go of her inner resistance and started to truly engage in Oborotsuki's "game,"
At that moment, the long-awaited system prompt sounded in Oborotsuki's mind.
