Chapter 125: Ch.125 Peering into Destiny!
Seeing Uchiha Shinji's expression, Shion immediately felt assured. At that moment, all her fear disappeared because she believed in Shinji. She was certain that the hero who had saved her several times would surely defeat the monster!
She wiped away her tears and gave Shinji's shadow clone a radiant smile, mouthing the words, "I'll keep your secret!"
Shinji's shadow clone sighed helplessly as he saw Shion's mouth move. For some reason, every time she saw his Susanoo, the memory seal he placed on her seemed to loosen.
Afterwards, Shinji's shadow clone glanced around at everyone and breathed a sigh of relief. The appearance of the real Shinji had drawn everyone's attention. As a result, Shion's brief interaction with the shadow clone went unnoticed. Even Sasuke, Neji, and the others were all focused on the real Shinji standing under the golden Susanoo.
At that moment, the Yellow Springs Sect leader stared intently at Shinji and coldly said, "Akatsuki?! I've already joined you, so why are you stopping me? This isn't what we agreed on!"
"Do you think you're worthy of joining the Akatsuki?" Shinji responded with disdain.
Truth be told, Shinji was surprised that the Yellow Springs Sect leader claimed to have joined Akatsuki, as the organization should already have its full roster.
The Yellow Springs Sect leader's face twisted into a laugh. "You want to break our deal? Ha! I was only planning to use you anyway. Now that you've chosen to die, I'll wipe out your useless Akatsuki along with you!"
With a roar of laughter, the Yellow Springs Sect leader clapped his hands together and shouted, "Die!"
Suddenly, countless massive dark-purple tendrils shot toward Shinji from every direction. Everything in their path—trees, rocks—was shattered and crushed. The tendrils were so numerous and dense that they darkened the sky. All that could be seen were the tendrils and the sickening, evil chakra radiating from them.
"Watch out! Get back!" Kakashi shouted as he retreated.
