Back home, Hyōjin found a black crow on his windowsill, so he opened the window and let the crow into the house.
Taking the letter tube from the crow's leg, Hyōjin opened the letter.
The letter was written by Zhishui, and the letter briefly mentioned his situation this week, and also mentioned that many people in the Uchiha Clan also listened to the rumors outside and became suspicious of him.
After destroying the letter, Hyōjin lightly spat: "Tsk, it seems that I underestimated the power of rumors!"
In fact, Kuroto also understands that the main reason why this rumor was able to spread like wildfire in the village is that the disappearance of Amatsukami was too strange, and the search of the village was fruitless, so it was inevitable for the villagers to think too much about it.
In this kind of atmosphere, naturally, more people believed the rumors.
In fact, to solve this problem is actually very simple, as long as the "Balrog" of Amatsukami makes a high-profile appearance, and let the leaders of the village and the Uchiha Clan believe that there is indeed such a bounty ninja organization, then all the problems will be solved.
But how to create another "Balrog" has become a difficult problem in front of Hyōjin.
Putting away his thoughts, Hyōjin wrote a reply and put it in the letter tube on the crow's leg.
The content of his letter was only two words.
"Endure!"
Then he stretched out his hand and held the crow out of the window, watching it fly away.
…
Outside the Uchiha Clan.
Two Root ninjas stood on a big tree, watching the Uchiha Clan from afar.
At this time, one of the Root ninjas said: "Look, it's the crow that flew out just now."
The other Root ninja observed for a while and said: "This crow is not right, shoot it down!"
Swish …
The Root ninja who found the crow immediately shot a sharp Senbon and hit the crow in the air.
When the two Root ninjas arrived at the place where the crow fell, suddenly, the crow's body on the ground burst into a cloud of white smoke.
When the smoke dissipated, only a black feather was left on the ground.
After picking up the black feather, the two Root Ninjas looked at each other.
In Zhishui's home.
After taking the letter tube from the crow's leg, Zhishui hurriedly opened the letter and read it. Then, she asked in confusion, "Patience …?! Could it be that Senior has a way to help me get rid of suspicion? "
…
Time flew, and soon, nine days had passed.
These days, Hyōjin has been secretly spying on Uchiha Ryota's every move in the secret prison through the Tenseigan through the thick rock layer.
Uchiha Rong Tai did not disappoint him. In just a short nine days, he had already worn down most of the key Sealing Techniques of the Four Symbols Seal on his body.
"According to this progress, he should be able to escape tonight," Hyōjin paused, then muttered, "Success or failure depends on tonight!"
As the sun set in the west, the sky gradually darkened.
In the cave.
Uchiha Ryota closed his eyes, concentrating on controlling the Chakra to wear down the Sealing Techniques that imprisoned him.
After these days of hard work, while wearing down the Sealing Techniques, he unexpectedly found that his control over Chakra had improved a lot. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "I didn't expect that this method could also train the control of Chakra, it's really absurd …"
At this time, a squeaking sound came into the cave.
Hearing the sound, Uchiha Ryota immediately stopped wearing down the Sealing Techniques, calmed down all the Chakra reactions on his body, and pretended to be asleep.
He knew that this sound came from the puppet that changed the nutrient solution for him every day.
At first, he thought that there was a puppet master hiding in the cave, secretly controlling the puppet, but after careful observation these days, he found that the puppet's body was not connected to any Chakra lines at all.
This discovery astounded him to no end!
As an elite Jonin who had experienced the Third Ninja World War, Uchiha Ryota was no stranger to the puppet masters of the Sand Crypsis and the various puppets of the Sand Crypsis.
Therefore, he could recognize the puppet in front of him at a glance. It was just a standard puppet of the middle and low-level puppet masters of the Sand Crypsis, and there was nothing special about it. Even the Uchiha Clan, who was not too interested in puppets, had seized a lot of them in the war. Although they were not trash that could be found on the street, they did not have much value as a collector's item.
It was also because he knew the origin of this type of puppet that he was shocked by the puppet in front of him, which obviously had a certain level of intelligence and could complete tasks independently!
Not long after, after changing the nutrient solution to maintain Uchiha Ryota's life, the puppet slowly left the cave.
Looking at the puppet's departing figure, Uchiha Ryota said, "Is this a new technology developed by the village?"
In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Ryota suppressed all the doubts and puzzlement in his heart about this puppet, and focused his mind to think about his escape plan.
He knew very well that if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to remove the shackles of the "Four Symbols Seal" in a few hours.
Once the shackles of the "Four Symbols Seal" were gone, a few mere chains would not be able to trap the elite Jonin of Uchiha, who could freely mobilize the Chakra in his body.
"Other than that strange puppet, I wonder if there are any other guards in this cave …"
Ryota Uchiha had speculated about his situation.
Although he firmly believed that the one who attacked him was all the higher-ups of the village, he felt that the one who tortured him should be one of the higher-ups in the village who coveted the Sharingan of Uchiha. That was why the whole torture seemed so mysterious and sneaky!
It was precisely because of this speculation that he felt that the guards in this cave should not be too strong. At least, there would not be a strong person at the level of Zhishui.
And the reason why the arrogant him was worried about the guards was because of the long-term torture, coupled with the fact that his body had only ingested some nutrient solution that could barely sustain his life these days, causing his body to be very weak at this time. Once the guards in the cave were too strong, even if he broke the seal, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Time passed by, and as the seals were worn down one by one, the hope of getting out of this predicament was right in front of him. Even Uchiha Ryota, who has a heart of stone, couldn't help but get excited at this moment.
However, at this moment, he heard the sound of familiar footsteps.
"That guy is back?! Damn it, this is only the ninth day! "
A series of emotions such as surprise, anger, and annoyance surged in Ryota Uchiha's heart, but there was nothing he could do. He could only stop wearing down the sealing techniques again.
After a while, a figure wearing a devil mask appeared in the cave and said to him, "Okay, the higher-ups have made a decision. Tonight is the day you die!"
