Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 458: Don’t Mess with the Ruthless

It turned out Shisui succeeded!

Whether to be grateful for his luck or to mock the overly lax security of the castle, Shisui managed to tail and sneak all the way without being detected at all.

Perhaps because their clan had lived on the moon for thousands of years, they had never faced enemies targeting or infiltrating them. It was only natural that their experience in this area wasn't as rich as that of the ninja world.

Moreover, the main reason was that Aoto had sent most of his elite troops to invade Konoha, while the rest had to reinforce the moon's defenses.

That was why their headquarters was somewhat neglected.

It's like how people tend to install surveillance cameras at entrances and main gates but rarely in their bedrooms.

Unless they deliberately suspected something...

And Toneri himself was still very green.

How could a four-year-old child have any sense of vigilance?

Without guardian puppets, without any alertness, how could Toneri, who had returned to his room, withstand Shisui's cunning attack?

After sneaking into the room, Shisui immediately struck the back of the young Toneri's neck, knocking him unconscious.

He had successfully captured the young master of the moon's Ōtsutsuki clan.

After succeeding, Shisui didn't stay idle.

His strength was now weak, and even with Toneri as a hostage, it might not be enough to pose a threat. So he rummaged through the room, found two puppet knives as weapons, then tore the bedsheets and twisted them into ropes.

He tightly bound the unconscious Toneri to his chest.

This way, by threatening at close range, he could make the enemy hesitate to attack.

Even if he were attacked secretly, Shisui was confident that before dying, he could take this young master of the enemy with him to the afterlife!

After preparing, Shisui carried Toneri out to face the enemy, planning to use the young master as a hostage to force the moon's Ōtsutsuki to release Kakashi and himself.

If it didn't work, at least they would free Kakashi, while he would stay behind to deal with the enemy!

Once outside, Shisui, who deliberately revealed himself, immediately attracted the attention of many Ōtsutsuki moon warriors.

Dozens of guards, servants, puppets, soldiers...

They blocked Shisui in the long corridor.

But considering he was holding their only young clan leader hostage, how could the Ōtsutsuki moon warriors dare to attack recklessly?

They were afraid of accidentally killing Toneri.

They could only surround Shisui and immediately send someone to inform their clan leader.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

On the other side.

Aoto, who was facing Minato, finally received the news.

The forbidden seal protecting the Tenseigan's eye could indeed block all perception and information. Minato couldn't sense the situation outside, and neither could Aoto.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

So, it wasn't until a clan member brought the news and entered the forbidden area that Aoto learned that his beloved son, Toneri, had been taken hostage by a Konoha ninja!

"How could this be?!!"

"Damn it!"

"You...!"

Aoto was furious, his eyes glaring at Minato, his heart burning with anger.

He didn't understand.

Toneri should have already returned to the castle. How could Minato, who was unfamiliar with the area and alone, have taken his son hostage?

Had the enemy uncovered his plan from the beginning? If so, he shouldn't have come here and put himself in danger!

Clearly, Aoto had miscalculated.

He thought Minato had already rescued Shisui, but it turned out Shisui had escaped from prison on his own and coincidentally targeted Aoto's only weakness!

Meanwhile, Minato, who was standing before him, was also very confused, not knowing why Aoto had suddenly become so angry.

Had his clone done something outside?

But a moment later, he understood the reason.

*WHOOSH!*

Minato's clone, carrying Shisui and the hostage Toneri, suddenly appeared, landing beside his original body.

It seemed the commotion caused by Shisui had attracted the attention of Minato's clone outside.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato's clone naturally rushed into the encirclement, grabbed Shisui and the hostage, and immediately teleported out of the encirclement, arriving where his original body was.

*POOF!*

The clone disappeared, transferring its chakra and memories to the original body.

The original Minato finally learned that Toneri, whom Shisui had taken hostage, was Aoto's son—no wonder he was so furious!

And seeing the appearance of Shisui and Toneri, Aoto grew even more enraged, his cruel gaze as if he wanted to devour Shisui alive.

"You brat! How dare you kidnap my son!"

He truly hadn't expected that the boy he initially captured just to fill the numbers would end up ruining his perfect plan and instead take his son hostage!

A complete oversight!

"Hokage-sama! I..."

After being rescued by Minato's clone, Shisui was truly relieved. Now, returning to the side of the original Hokage made him even more excited.

The Fourth Hokage is truly amazing!

In such a short time, he came to rescue them.

"Shisui, you did very well! Thanks to you!"

"No. My abilities are lacking, which is why I was captured by the enemy. Wait... Kakashi-senpai...!"

Shisui saw Kakashi, who was being controlled by Aoto, and his expression immediately changed.

He naturally realized that his senior was being controlled by someone, and his life was in great danger.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"Fourth Hokage, good, good, good!"

"Release my son!"

Aoto suppressed his boundless anger, shouting furiously at Minato.

This slap came too quickly. Now he also felt the pain of having someone important to him threatened by the enemy.

For Aoto, who had hardly faced any hardships in his life, this was clearly more infuriating and harder to accept.

He was on the verge of exploding with rage at any moment!

Minato paused, realizing this was a great opportunity, and immediately countered with a threat: "Exchange for Kakashi. Let's trade hostages!"

"You—!"

Aoto's expression changed, his anger reaching its peak.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't care about such a threat at all!

Even if his own life, or the lives of the entire clan, were threatened, Aoto would never yield.

But Toneri was the only exception.

Because, for years, only the Byakugan from Toneri's bloodline had the potential to evolve into the Tenseigan!

And only the perfect Tenseigan could fully activate the power of the Giant Tenseigan.

In other words, if something happened to Toneri, even if Aoto could assemble the Giant Tenseigan, he would struggle to control its terrifying power!

The combination of the Giant Tenseigan and Toneri's Tenseigan was a crucial foundation for executing the moon-Earth collision plan, the total destruction.

Without one, it wouldn't succeed!

Otherwise, Aoto wouldn't have been prepared to sacrifice the entire clan to pave the way for Toneri's future.

Therefore, he would never let anything happen to Toneri!

But if he had to give up this advantageous situation and release Kakashi and Minato just like that, Aoto was extremely unwilling.

He understood all too well how terrifying Namikaze Minato was.

Today, he had set up such a trap, planned layer after layer, and it was only enough to restrain his opponent.

If he truly released his hostage, next time, a carefree Minato would undoubtedly become a huge threat to the entire Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon!

Even affecting the grand plan in the end.

So Aoto really didn't want to back down so easily!

Therefore, Aoto didn't rush to agree to Minato's hostage exchange. Instead, he glanced at Shisui, threatening him cruelly.

"You're from the Uchiha clan, right? So young, yet you don't know the dangers!"

"If you dare harm my son, I will definitely slaughter your entire Uchiha clan!"

"Including your parents, relatives, and friends, no one will be left!"

The strong pressure hit Shisui. Clearly, Aoto wanted to threaten and intimidate this Uchiha boy to ensure Toneri's safety and further seize the initiative in the negotiation.

Unfortunately, he never expected that he had chosen the wrong person to threaten!

Facing the enemy's threats and intimidation, Shisui's face was as cold as ice, without a trace of fear.

Instead, he immediately raised the short knife in his hand and stabbed it through both Toneri's chest and his own!

Instantly, blood flowed out, and the faces of both turned pale. The breath of the young Toneri quickly weakened.

"Wait...!"

"No!—"

"Are you crazy?!!!"

Aoto panicked, shouting in fear, completely unable to understand Shisui's actions, feeling that the boy was truly insane!

They were negotiating just fine. Why suddenly injure himself?

Injuring himself was bad enough, but why stab his son too?

Wasn't he a valuable hostage?

"I'll give you ten seconds. Release Kakashi-senpai, or this child and I will die together!"

"I always keep my word!"

Shisui's eyes showed a hint of madness and stubbornness. He bit the blood at the corner of his lips and threatened coldly.

He knew that the stronger the enemy, the more ruthless and insane he had to be!

Even if it meant risking his own life to threaten.

Even if it failed, if he and Senior Kakashi died, they would no longer be a weakness for the Hokage. That would be the most beneficial outcome for the village!
