Inside the encirclement of Amaterasu
Itachi could only choose this place to meet Naruto because this was the only way that no one would notice what he had done. This was the backup plan he had left for Sasuke.
Originally, when Itachi saw Sasuke treat his old friend, he had already decided to give up on Sasuke to return to Konoha, but Naruto's actions made Itachi think that there was still hope for Sasuke's future.
As long as Sasuke's friend was willing to accept Sasuke, Itachi thought that it was better for Sasuke to return to his hometown.
Since Naruto was so determined to let Sasuke go back, Itachi wanted to put this layer of insurance on Naruto.
Unfortunately, just as Itachi circled Naruto with Amaterasu, Naruto suddenly split out two shadow clones and quickly condensed the ninjutsu he had just learned!
"Fūton, Rasenshuriken (Wind Release: Rasenshuriken)!"
"..."
Itachi's expression changed.
Wasn't the difference in treatment too much?
Was there such a big difference in treatment between a brother and a younger brother?
When Naruto saw Sasuke, he only used a shadow clone and Rasengan. When he saw Itachi, he immediately shot a Rasenshuriken!
Itachi's face was a bit ugly. He stared at the Rasenshuriken in Naruto's hand and pretended to be calm as he praised, "A very terrifying wind ninjutsu. Even if I were hit, it would be very dangerous."
"This is something I worked hard to come up with..."
A confident smile appeared on Naruto's face as he said seriously, "A ninjutsu specially prepared for you Akatsuki..."
"What a pity."
Itachi shook his head, and a red light flashed in his eyes, "Then why didn't you use this ninjutsu to attack Sasuke just now? Earlier he wanted to kill you!"
"I treat Sasuke as my own brother."
Naruto's face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a low voice, "I am different from a guy like you. No matter what, I will never hurt Sasuke..."
"Then let's find another place to talk!"
Itachi's complexion also became solemn. The three tomoe Sharingan in his eyes had already turned into a Mangekyo Sharingan and activated!
Itachi's voice gradually became somewhat low, "Tsukuyomi..."
In the next second, Naruto felt that the surrounding environment suddenly changed. He unexpectedly mysteriously appeared in a blood-red world.
This was Itachi's Tsukuyomi space!
"I already know that you want to take Sasuke back to Konoha."
Itachi's figure floated in the air and slowly asked, "Naruto, you saw just now that Sasuke wanted to kill you. If he and Akatsuki attacked Konoha in the future, what would you choose?"
Itachi's voice seemed to be full of enchantment, and his voice was a little ethereal, "Between Konoha and Sasuke, what would you choose? To protect Konoha or choose to kill Sasuke? As a ninja, sometimes you have to make some cruel choices in the face of certain situations..."
"Ha, this kind of choice? I won't choose it!"
Naruto coldly looked at Itachi, clenched his fist, and said, "I will protect Konoha, and I won't kill Sasuke!"
Itachi slowly lowered his eyes and sighed, "Hmm? What a naive..."
"Hey!"
Naruto suddenly interrupted Itachi and grinned. He fiddled with his ninja and said loudly, "Actually, I have always hated people like you. But last time, I felt that the guy called Sasori was right..."
Naruto stared at him and said word by word, "How can a ninja kill his companions for the village? Then this is not about forgetting the existence of the village, but it is actually to protect your companions?"
Naruto suddenly raised his fist,
He said, "So I will protect Konoha, and I will definitely save Sasuke from Akatsuki! If you have something to say, just say it. This is my Ninja Way!"
"..."
Itachi looked at Naruto in shock.
At this moment, Itachi could not help but want to believe him.
This little brat called Naruto was really not simple. Sasuke was really lucky to meet such a friend.
In the sky of Tsukuyomi space, countless crows began to fly. Itachi's voice gradually became more and more hollow, it was as if everywhere.
"I will give you my power as a guarantee that you will not kill each other one day. I hope this power will never be used!"
In the next moment, Naruto's eyes narrowed because a crow had entered his mouth out of thin air and was even swallowed into his stomach!
What the hell was this thing!
Unfortunately, in the Tsukuyomi Space, Naruto was unable to resist at all and could only let Itachi put the crow into his mouth.
After doing all of this, a faint smile appeared on Itachi's face. The blood in the sky gradually began to dissipate, and the Tsukuyomi space collapsed in the blink of an eye.
After the Tsukuyomi ended.
Naruto involuntarily knelt on the ground, wanting to spit out the crow that had been swallowed into his stomach, "What the hell is going on?"
"Hey, Naruto, are you alright?"
Kakashi used his Kamui and finally absorb all of Amaterasu's flame into his Kamui space, and somewhat worriedly rushed over.
Kakashi lowered his head and stroked Naruto's forehead, then said in a low voice, "Itachi, did you use your own Mangekyo Sharingan on Naruto?"
"Well, that's it."
Itachi slowly closed his eyes, as if he did not care about Kakashi at all. His whole body turned into countless crows flying in the air.
At the same time.
Kisame also saw this scene. He pulled out of the battlefield and shouted, "Itachi-san, let's retreat now!"
"Okay."
Itachi nodded.
After ensuring that the news of the retreat was spread to Uehara, Kisame stroked his ring and whispered, "Pain-sama, Kakuzu and the others have already retreated to the safe zone, right? Can our cover forces retreat as well?"
Pain had yet to answer.
Instead, Deidara, who was controlling the Shapeshift Puppet, responded, "All of you, retreat! Leave the follow-up pursuit of Konoha Ninjas to me! I want to show you what true art is!"
"Sure."
Pain nodded and ordered in a low voice, "Then the two of you can withdraw. The rest of the task of blocking and chasing will be left to Deidara and Sasori to solve!"
The battle has ended.
After spending a lot of strength, the six members finally retreated to Country of Rain's territory. It seemed that everyone had their own goal in this battle.
After the explosion of Deidara's Shapeshift Puppet, it directly blocked Konoha the possibility of chasing Akatsuki, and Kimimaro's Shapeshift Puppet was defeated by the joint attack of Lee and Neji, and the Haku Shapeshift puppet dissipated because of the exhaustion of Chakra.
On the other battlefield.
Kakashi and Guy looked at the strange corpses, and their faces were a bit ugly. They seemed to have been played by Akatsuki!
"Captain Kakashi!"
Coincidentally, at this time, Sai came to deliver an urgent message. He hurriedly said, "Jiraiya-sama and the others were intercepted, so they were unable to rush to the battlefield!"
"Intercept?"
"Yes."
Sai jumped off the bird and said with a nervous expression, "Third and Fourth Hokage blocked Jiraiya-sama's team. Second Hokage and Second Mizukage blocked Fifth Hokage-sama's team!"
"Impure World Reincarnation?"
Kakashi immediately reacted.
Sai nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, maybe it is Orochimaru's doing. Jiraiya-sama is still holding on, but Tsunade-sama's team... They are almost on the verge of collapse!"
Sai's report was not wrong.
Jiraiya and Ino-Shika-Cho could still hold on. It was purely because Fourth Hokage Minato had simply used Sage arts. Otherwise, Minato, who had activated Kyuubi mode, was not someone they could easily contend with.
Everyone knew.
Minato's battle had never been delayed.
After all, he was the fastest man in the world.
As for Tsunade, Terumi, Gaara, and Uehara's team, they really couldn't hold on. It was because Uehara personally controlled Second Hokage to fight!
This was very awkward for their battle situation.
Especially in the current situation, Second Hokage almost played with their team by himself. Second Mizukage only put a few water cannons on the side to support.
Gaara stood on the sand cushion and crazily circulated the chakra in his body. He controlled the ground to turn into yellow sand and swept towards Second Hokage, "Ryūsa Bakuryū (Quicksand Waterfall Flow)!"
However, what greeted Gaara was the Ninjutsu released by Second Hokage Tobirama. "Suiton, Bakusui Shōha (Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave)!"
In the blink of an eye, countless yellow Suna were dispersed by the water wave!
If Uehara had not released a water formation wall to block the attack, the four of them would have been swept away by the waves.
While Uehara was enjoying himself, he received news from other places. After Obito confirmed that Itachi had used Tsukuyomi on Naruto and Naruto seemed to be in a good state.
Perhaps Itachi had handed over Kotoamatsukami's crow?
After thinking for a while, Uehara raised his finger and asked the Ninjas under his control to retreat and end this big show.
As for what happened next, it was to test Itachi.
Several of Impure World Reincarnation's Hokage retreated one after another. Tsunade and Jiraiya finally gathered together and also got the losses in this battle.
Because they inexplicably encountered the interception of Impure World Reincarnation, the biggest credit for the Konoha Ninjas was actually Guy and Kakashi two Team. Their biggest achievement was actually killing several puppets of Akatsuki organization.
Since they could not capture the members of Akatsuki, Uehara, Terumi, and Gaara did not stay and quickly left the Country of Fire.
Tsunade was about to explode from anger!
This time, she lost a lot of face in the Alliance.
"Find out where Orochimaru is!"
After Tsunade returned to Konoha, she shouted at the Anbu, "If he is alive, I want to see him in person. If he is a dead, I want to see his corpse!"
"What if we find him?"
Jiraiya rubbed his forehead and asked, "Orochimaru has more than five Kage-level characters in his hands. Do we have the ability to kill him? Besides, why did he help Akatsuki?"
"At the very least, we need to find out his information first!"
Tsunade clenched her fists and said coldly, "Whether it is Orochimaru or Akatsuki, we must gather all the information as soon as possible."
"Alright..."
Jiraiya sighed and said, "Seeing Minato this time is not all bad news. I also found a new idea to train Naruto. I must let Naruto learn Sage mode and let him slowly try to communicate with Kyuubi."
Minato had been using Sage mode in the battle, but he said that he had to remove Kyuubi mode because the power of Kyuubi mode was too strong.
This made Jiraiya have a new idea.
Naruto might become the new hope of Konoha.
"Yes."
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and whispered, "If we want to destroy Akatsuki, our strength is a bit lacking. In addition to training the younger generation in the village, we might need to find a way to pull some other helpers."
"What helpers?"
"Hanzo."
Tsunade closed her palm and said in a deep voice, "If we meet with Akatsuki again, we must gather all the forces we can gather to have a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop. Originally, I didn't want to borrow that old man's strength..."
"That fellow, Hanzo..."
Jiraiya recalled that they had almost lost their lives when they met Hanzo when they were young, and he couldn't help but sigh, "That fellow is indeed very strong. If he can join forces with us and participate in a siege against Akatsuki, eliminating Akatsuki will indeed be possible."
"The problem is that Hanzo is unwilling to come out..."
Tsunade pressed her forehead with a headache and explained softly, "Before that little brat Uehara left, I asked him to make this request to Hanzo. That little brat only said that he would report to Hanzo, but the result is not certain."
"Then there is no other way."
Jiraiya waved his hand and smiled, "Rather than believing in that guy, it's better to believe that Naruto will create a miracle! I'll send Naruto to Mount Myoboku first!"
Konoha's side was a little depressed.
Akatsuki's side was rather lively.
Uehara felt that since Kabuto had already stepped forward to help, it would be better to take this opportunity to show up and accept Black Zetsu's recruitment to join Akatsuki's organization and Eye of the Moon Plan's small team.
Therefore, when Uehara returned to Akatsuki's organization base, Black Zetsu eagerly introduced Kabuto to Uehara, "This is Kabuto, a newcomer who has joined our Eye of the Moon Plan. You should know Uehara, right?"
"We have met before."
Uehara stretched out his palm towards Kabuto, looked at him coldly and said, "I didn't expect to see you here one day... Orochimaru's lackey."
At this moment, he seemed to have a deep hatred for Kabuto.
Just when Black Zetsu wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, Uehara looked at Kabuto and continued to warn him, "Kabuto, since Senpai invited you to join Eye of the Moon Plan, I hope you can live up to Senpai's expectations."
"I just want to see how interesting Eye of the Moon Plan will be."
Kabuto curled the corners of his mouth and slowly pushed his glasses, staring at Uehara like a snake.
"Hehehe... it will definitely be very interesting. This Eye of the Moon Plan can bring peace to the whole world and your arrival has made our strength stronger!"
After a few sinister laughs, Black Zetsu was satisfied to see Uehara's performance just now. He whispered, "In the future, Kabuto, you will listen to Uehara's will in Akatsuki. He is now the person in charge of our Eye of the Moon Plan."
"Yes."
Kabuto nodded humbly.
As for Kabuto, he began to think about how Black Zetsu was formed. There was something wrong with the intelligence of this creature. It was similar to White Zetsu, right?
There were a total of three people left in the Eye of the Moon Plan. Other than Black Zetsu, there were also Uehara and Kisame who was Uehara's undercover agent.
The newly joined Kabuto...
He was also Uehara's undercover agent.
This Eye of the Moon Plan had already become an absolute leaking sieve. Regardless of whether it progress or not, every segment had been completely controlled by Uehara.
How could a thing like Black Zetsu laugh happily?
F*cking retard!
Black Zetsu did not know that Kabuto was questioning its IQ.
Black Zetsu was really happy. It was indeed sincerely eager for Kabuto to join, so it could ask Kabuto about the progress of reviving Madara.
It was a pity that Kabuto was an old spy.
Faced with Black Zetsu's indirect criticism, Kabuto directly responded with the professionalism of a scientist, "According to my judgment, Madara's resurrection is far from his heyday. It is a bit too wasteful to resurrect him now!"
"Okay."
Black Zetsu nodded and said in a low voice, "If you need any help, you can come to me directly if you need any materials."
"Okay."
The corners of Kabuto's mouth curved up.
After Black Zetsu left.
Kabuto lowered his head at Uehara and said respectfully, "Naraku-sama, Madara's resurrection is ready."
"Wait for my notice!"
Uehara raised his eyebrows and led Kabuto to Akatsuki's base. He asked, "Do you know where Suigetsu is? Bring him here!"
"Yes."
Kabuto nodded.
Uehara looked at the wooden torii gate at the entrance of Akatsuki's base and narrowed his eyes, "Then let Mangetsu and Suigetsu fight with each other before the fight between Uchiha's brother!"
