Chapter 79 Leaving Amegakure
The next day, Mebius and August prepared to set off early in the morning.
At the entrance of the Akatsuki base, only Kisame, Konan, and Deidara came to see them off.
Xiao Nan raised her hand and handed a scroll to Mavis. As Mavis curiously took it, she casually explained, "This contains 500,000 explosive tags. Keep it with you."
He paused, then added, "It works very well."
Mavis's curious smile froze, and the scroll in her hand suddenly became hot to the touch.
"That's right, how come I didn't think of that!"
Deidara's eyes lit up, and he reached out and pulled out a large piece of clay.
"Auguste, bring my artwork along too, hahaha. A strongman like you is qualified to display my art, hmm!"
Kisame, who was watching Konan and Mavis say goodbye, and Deidara and Augusta say goodbye, suddenly felt like he was a bit superfluous.
Although Mavis accepted Konan's explosive tags, she was unable to give away Deidara's clay artwork.
Amid Deidara's disgruntled voice, Mavis looked at Kisame and asked with some confusion, "Why haven't I seen Itachi?"
Kisame said, "When I went out, I knocked on the door, and Itachi said he wasn't coming and asked me to say goodbye to you on his behalf."
What Kisame didn't say was that when he arrived, Itachi hadn't even opened the door.
Even through the door, Kisame could hear Itachi's suppressed coughing.
Even knowing that the Mangekyou Sharingan places a heavy burden on the body, Kisame was still puzzled. Yesterday, Itachi's body seemed fine, so how come it suddenly became worse overnight...?
Despite harboring this suspicion, Kisame did not mention it to anyone.
Mavis turned to look inside the base, but the deep corridors were deserted.
Itachi Uchiha's inexplicable absence brought back the sense of unease that had been nagging at Mavis since last night.
His brow furrowed slightly before gradually relaxing. Even if he couldn't figure out this strange premonition now, he would eventually.
With this optimistic thought in mind, Mavis waved to the three Akatsuki members present, smiled, and turned to leave.
Upon seeing that Mebius had already set off, Augustus turned around and followed without hesitation.
The two figures walking away one after the other appeared surprisingly harmonious in the eyes of Kisame and his companions.
Deidara, having failed to give away his clay art, pouted and could only put the clay he had just taken out back into his pocket.
Seeing Deidara's somewhat displeased expression, Kisame teased, "Oh dear, Deidara, I wonder what the Tsuchikage's expression would be if he saw you clinging to your elder like this, hahahahaha—"
Thinking of that stubborn old man who didn't understand his art at all and would twist his ankle at the drop of a hat, Deidara couldn't help but snort softly.
He then rolled his eyes at Kisame and turned back to the base.
……
At this moment, in Itachi's room, Itachi Uchiha, who had promised to see him off but was suddenly absent, was lying flat on the bed, his face pale and bloodless.
A crow flapped its wings and flew from outside the window to the bedside.
Uchiha Itachi slowly opened his eyes on the bed.
Last night, when he used Kotoamatsukami on Mavis, the naturally cautious Itachi Uchiha used all his strength, holding nothing back.
His already strained body was further damaged, and in order to avoid being noticed by the observant and astute Mavis, Itachi Uchiha had no choice but to be absent.
However, even though he couldn't show up himself, Itachi Uchiha still sent ninja crows to observe the situation. It wasn't until he saw that Mavis's behavior was normal that Itachi Uchiha felt relieved.
"Cough cough cough-"
Having achieved the desired result, Itachi felt a sense of relief, but a cough welled up again, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Itachi Uchiha expressionlessly raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips. No matter what, he had to hold on until Sasuke arrived...
……
Mavis and August quickly left Amegakure, their figures gradually disappearing into the woods.
Suddenly, at the edge of Amegakure, space distorted, and a figure wearing an Akatsuki robe and a spiral mask appeared abruptly.
At the same time, a member of the Akatsuki organization, who looked like some kind of plant and whose body was half black and half white, suddenly emerged from the ground.
The two people who appeared were Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu.
"Hmph, Jue, is it really necessary to be so cautious?"
Looking through the single small hole in his mask at the two figures gradually disappearing into the distance, Obito Uchiha frowned and asked a question.
Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu naturally noticed the sudden appearance of Mavis and August in the Akatsuki organization.
Obito Uchiha, who originally planned to impersonate Tobi to get close to the two and gather information, was stopped by Black Zetsu.
The fact that Jelf almost discovered them before made Blackbeard extra careful with Mavis and August.
After all, a thousand-year plan cannot be taken lightly at the last moment. If something goes wrong and it alerts Nagato, things will be bad.
Faced with Obito Uchiha's questioning, Black Zetsu explained, "After all, we only have a superficial understanding of magic, so it's safer to keep a secret surveillance."
"So another world actually exists. This world is indeed an illusion, humph!" Obito Uchiha sneered.
Black Zetsu: ...
Where is the logic in this statement? Forget it, the Uchiha clan has been mentally unstable for a long time; it's not like it's just one or two people.
While thinking this to himself, Black Zetsu agreed outwardly, saying, "You're right, Obito. Only the Eye of the Moon Plan can create the most realistic and perfect world!"
……
Far from Amegakure, Mavis and August both stopped in their tracks.
“It seems that I can no longer sense that malice,” Mavis said suddenly, looking at August.
Auguste gripped the newly crafted magic wand tightly, glanced coldly in the direction of Amegakure, and said, "Indeed, that faint feeling of being watched has disappeared."
During her time in Amegakure, Mavis sometimes felt a vague sense of being watched, but upon closer inspection, she found nothing. It was more of an intuition than a feeling.
It wasn't until she confirmed with August that Mavis was truly certain that her intuition was correct; someone had indeed been spying on them!
But why would someone be monitoring these two outsiders who aren't even ninjas?
Despite having some such questions, Mavis also knew that neither Konan nor Pain had told her the Akatsuki's true plans, perhaps because it was related to the Akatsuki's secrets.
Having left Amegakure, the feeling of being watched finally disappeared, seemingly confirming the connection between the watcher and Amegakure.
"The world of ninjas..." Mavis couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, something occurred to Mavis, and her eyes lit up. During this time, the ninja's Three Body Techniques had given Mavis a lot of inspiration. If transformation was possible, magic could also achieve it...
Thinking this, Mavis curled the corners of her mouth. Magic flowed within her body, and she gradually grew taller. Her appearance also underwent some adjustments, becoming only about 50% similar to her original appearance. Her most striking feature, long golden hair, turned into the common black color.
Fortunately, the original long dress was somewhat loose, so even though her body had grown a bit, the clothes still fit her well.
After taking out a mirror and looking at herself, Mavis showed a satisfied expression.
Turning to meet August's somewhat puzzled gaze, Mavis explained, "Even ninjas have a hard time detecting magical transformations. Whatever that guy's purpose is, it's best to avoid him."
Augustus frowned and said, "You don't need to worry so much. Whoever the enemy is, they won't be a match for us."
"Because I will protect you," Auguste silently added in his heart.
Mavis smiled and said, "It would be best to avoid unnecessary conflict, but if it's unavoidable, I won't back down."
"Moreover, it's a really strange experience to have this adult appearance, it's like my body has really grown up, haha."
Mavis smiled at August and said, "How about it, August, why don't you change your appearance too?"
Hearing Mavis say this, August's eyes flickered slightly. Then, he activated his magic as well, and to Mavis's astonishment, August transformed into a very young child!
