Chapter 062: Another Rogue Ninja

Wang Bo was not interested in what exactly was happening with Hiruzen Sarutobi. Even if the man held absolute sway in Konoha, what did that have to do with Wang Bo?

From beginning to end, Wang Bo's goal was not Konoha, but the Silver Superman.

Unfortunately, five years had passed, and Wang Bo's business had spread to every corner of the ninja world, but the Silver Superman had never shown himself, as if he had unfortunately perished.

However, Wang Bo was well aware that the Silver Superman had not perished. He must be somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to pull off a big news story.

He just had to wait and see.

In the blink of an eye, another few months passed.

News of the Uchiha clan's annihilation spread throughout the ninja world. Amid the uproar, people accepted the news and also learned the culprit behind the Uchiha massacre.

Itachi Uchiha.

This news shocked countless people, because Itachi Uchiha was not only a member of the Uchiha clan but also the son of the Uchiha clan leader.

No one knew why this future Uchiha leader would personally destroy the Uchiha clan.

It was too unbelievable.

Some believed the news, but others felt that the Uchiha clan's annihilation had nothing to do with this future leader; the real destroyer of the Uchiha clan was Konoha.

Itachi Uchiha was merely a scapegoat pushed forward.

Given that he was still wanted by Konoha, this claim might not be false.

Perhaps Konoha had wiped out the Uchiha clan, and then Itachi Uchiha discovered the truth, so Konoha put a bounty on him, making him a fugitive.

For a time, the ninja world was on edge.

Countless people openly or secretly extended invitations to Itachi Uchiha: as long as you are willing to come to our village, we will help you fight Konoha and stop their pursuit of you.

After all, this was the Uchiha clan; those ill-omened eyes were enough to make countless people drool.

If their village obtained Itachi Uchiha and worked hard, perhaps in a few years, the Uchiha clan would reappear in their ninja village.

Wouldn't their ninja village's strength greatly increase then?

Many held such thoughts, but unfortunately, Itachi Uchiha had no intention of contacting these villages. He became a wandering ninja, roaming the ninja world, evading Konoha's pursuit.

Whenever a topic related to Itachi Uchiha came up, it would spread across the ninja world in the shortest time.

Now, Itachi Uchiha was like a popular idol; every word and action attracted the attention of countless people.

However, as time passed, people realized that Itachi Uchiha would not come to their village, and attention gradually waned. After all, no one stays popular forever.

Even an idol, if absent from the public eye for too long, will fade.

Everyone was busy; they couldn't revolve around Itachi Uchiha alone.

But Wang Bo, who knew the inside story, marveled at Konoha's brainwashing skills. Not only could it trick Itachi Uchiha into killing his own family, but it could also convince him to think of Konoha even after leaving.

The Will of Fire was truly terrifying.

…

However, not long after, a man came to Wang Bo's base, revealed his identity, and sought an audience with Wang Bo.

This man was none other than a survivor of the Uchiha clan.

To be honest, when Wang Bo heard that an Uchiha clan survivor was seeking him, he was momentarily stunned.

Could it be Sasuke Uchiha?

That shouldn't be; that kid should be kept under strict watch in Konoha.

Wang Bo asked curiously, "What's this person's name?"

Haku, who came to report, said, "He says his name is Shisui Uchiha."

Hearing this name, Wang Bo couldn't help raising an eyebrow. Shisui Uchiha? That was a very famous name.

In the Naruto storyline, Shisui Uchiha was merely a character living in memories. Though he had the nickname "Shisui of the Body Flicker" and considerable strength, even having awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, his heart was too fragile.

This guy possessed the genjutsu Kotoamatsukami. On the eve of the Uchiha clan's planned coup, Shisui planned to use Kotoamatsukami to stop it.

But before the plan could be implemented, he was ambushed by Danzo Shimura and lost his right eye.

To prevent others from fighting over his left eye and to help Itachi Uchiha awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, he entrusted his eye and Kotoamatsukami to Itachi, then jumped off the Naka River and committed suicide.

However, in this world, Danzo had long been crippled by Wang Bo, losing not only both arms but also having all his bones shattered.

Such injuries, aside from Tsunade Senju, probably no one could heal.

Even Tsunade Senju might not be able to cure him.

So now Danzo should be a complete invalid, unable to take Shisui Uchiha's eyes.

And the Shisui Uchiha standing before Wang Bo indeed had both eyes intact.

But for some reason, the Uchiha clan was still wiped out, and besides Sasuke Uchiha, he had also survived.

Wang Bo had no idea why this guy had come to him.

"Alright, let him in." Wang Bo said to Haku with some curiosity.

Haku nodded, turned, and walked out of the office. Soon, he returned with a ninja.

Wang Bo glanced at him. The man wore a dark high-collared short-sleeved shirt and triangular armor, matching pants, and leg wraps. The Uchiha clan crest was on the back of his clothes, and he carried a shortsword.

From his appearance, it was indeed Shisui Uchiha.

Wang Bo had been to Konoha several times and stayed there for a while. When running a hotpot restaurant, he had received many customers, including famous figures like Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai, Itachi Uchiha, and Shisui Uchiha.

So Wang Bo actually knew quite a few people from Konoha.

"Shisui Uchiha, right? What business do you have with me?" Wang Bo asked with a curious expression.

Shisui Uchiha knelt on one knee and said slowly, "I have come to ask Lord Igarashi to take me in."

"Take you in?" Wang Bo asked. "You're from Konoha, aren't you? Why not stay in Konoha but come to me asking for shelter? That doesn't make sense."

Shisui Uchiha pulled out his Konoha ninja headband, the leaf on it slashed through the middle. "Because I have betrayed Konoha and become a rogue ninja. So now I can only beg Lord Igarashi to take me in."

Wang Bo looked at it; it was indeed the mark of a rogue ninja.

But he still didn't understand. "Why did you betray Konoha?"
