Aoba found a place with no one around and changed his clothes. After switching back to his side account, he was about to continue on his way.
However, he immediately sensed that someone was staring at him.
He frowned slightly, then changed his direction and headed straight for the forest outside the town.
After coming to the depths of the forest and yet not being able to get rid of the other party's tracking, Aoba immediately confirmed that the other party was coming for him.
Thus, he immediately stopped and said in a low voice, "Why are you following me so sneakily? Come out!"
Gu...
As a group of crows flew over, a person that Aoba did not expect appeared.
If not for the mask, Itachi would have immediately recognized the person in front of him.
At this time, Itachi, who was standing face to face with Aoba, had a flash of disappointment in his eyes. One person's voice and appearance could easily change, but the aura on their body was difficult to hide.
Itachi felt that the other person's body was covered with a strong killing intent and bloody smell, which was completely different from the aura emitted by Aoba.
This person was not the person he was looking for.
However, the other party was dressed like this.
"Why would Akatsuki's people appear here? Tell me your mission and I can let you go."
Of course, the premise was that the mission content had nothing to do with Konoha.
The direction that Aoba chose was exactly the route to Land of Fire, which caused Itachi to have a misunderstanding.
In addition, Itachi did not have a good impression of Akatsuki, because Aoba had almost fallen into Akatsuki's hands, and even the ninja sword he had seized had been taken away.
Therefore, Itachi did not mind helping Aoba to vent his anger.
If Aoba knew what Itachi was thinking at this time, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry. Did he get himself into a trap?
"So it's Konoha's junior. He's young but has such a big tone."
There was a quest on Aoba.
In order not to expose himself, he could only continue to stick to the character settings of his alt account.
At the same time, he was also very puzzled. How could Itachi come here?
Moreover, it did not seem like a quest. After all, if he was in a quest, he would definitely try his best to avoid unnecessary problems. How could he be targeted?
Could it be that Itachi was also here to participate in the 'water festival'?
He knew that it was impossible.
It couldn't be that he had specially come out to look for him.
Aoba had already unknowingly revealed the truth.
At this time, the system jumped out.
Ding!
Normal death-seeking mission has been released!
Quest name: I curse myself!
[Description: Scolding Shinomiya Aoba in front of Itachi ]
[As long as you are vicious enough in your self-deprecation, trolls won't hurt you!]
[Mission Requirement: Provoke Itachi's anger.]
[Mission Time Limit: 1 hour.]
[Mission Reward: Advanced Skill Card x1]
[Mission failed: [Crimson Swordsman]will be replaced by [Muse Lad]]
...
Shit!!
What kind of weird task is this?
I can still scold myself!
The reward for the task is very fragrant, and the punishment for failure is very speechless.
He did not want to become a poor 36D, and if [Crimson Swordsman]skin was gone, what would happen to his alt account?
What an idiot!
So he could only pinch his nose and say, "I heard that your 5th Hokage has given up on you and running away, but I am quite interested. How about I take a loss and manage Konoha on behalf of that waste Shinomiya Aoba?"
"Akatsuki is indeed like the rumors say. They are all arrogant idiots." Itachi's eyes turned cold and his tone was calm.
"What? Are you angry? I'm just telling the truth. I can easily beat trash like Shinomiya Aoba with one hand!"
"For such a person to become the Hokage, it seems that Konoha is just so-so."
"By the way, I also heard that Shinomiya Aoba was actually a spy hiding in Konoha from the beginning. On the surface, he was dedicated to Konoha, but in the dark, he was cheating, stealing, and committing all kinds of crimes! He also beat the cripple, called the fool, and stripped."
"Enough! He is not someone you can insult!"
Itachi was furious!
Suddenly, Kunai appeared on Aoba's neck in a strange manner.
Then, with a ripping sound, he cut open Aoba's throat.
At this time, Itachi, who was standing in the distance, slowly disappeared.
With a plop, Aoba fell down.
Itachi's gaze was still very cold.
The moment he appeared, the moment the other party saw him, this fellow had already silently fallen into his illusion technique.
Originally, he wanted to get some information before making any plans, but the other party's insult to Aoba made Itachi directly attack in anger.
No one could slander Aoba like this in front of him!
This was the price!
However, what Itachi did not notice was that the enemy on the ground had clearly been fatally wounded, but the wound was healing at an extremely fast speed.
Was Aoba careless?
How was that possible!
No one knew more about Itachi's strength than he did.
However, Itachi's illusion was not something that could be avoided if he was on guard in advance. In addition, he could not use [Reflaction Bell]. Therefore, Aoba simply did not resist. He just thought that he had been hit by the illusion.
Then, he quietly operated the completely transformed [Absolute Defense]vital points.
Because [Absolute Defense] was a movable defense, Aoba deliberately injured himself just now.
After all, the task had been completed with ease, and he didn't want to fight with Itachi, so he simply pretended to be dead.
But he still underestimated how much he had just done to court death.
Not only did he cut off his throat, but Itachi was actually preparing to make up for it. He directly held Kunai in his hand and aimed it at the back of his heart, about to stab it.
Aoba was helpless, he couldn't pretend anymore.
So he directly activated [Shunkou], and violent chakra airflow instantly sent Itachi flying.
"Caution brat, I never kill nameless people, tell me your name."
Aoba stood up, touched his already healed neck, and deliberately said this.
Itachi, who had opened up the distance, revealed a cautious gaze. He was very sure that he had just cut open the other party's neck, but the other party suddenly he 'came back from the dead'.
Did he attack the wrong vital point, or did he have some kind of strange ability?
Itachi was not sure, but whether it was the former or the latter, he did not believe that the other party could still 'come back to life' by burning to ashes!
Without any further probing, Mangekyou Sharingan instantly activated it. Following that, a stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his right eye.
"Amaterasu!"
Shit!
The moment Aoba saw that Itachi had activated Mangekyou Sharingan, he knew that something was wrong. Then, he used the extremely fast speed brought by [Shunkou] to directly avoid Itachi's line of sight.
Then, he saw a wisp of black flame directly burn the trees behind him through the afterimages he left behind!
Even if Aoba was very confident in his own defense, he was absolutely unwilling to take a single Amaterasu head-on.
Although it seemed like Amaterasu had never burned to death in the original work, in fact, Amaterasu was really a terrible ability.
Crash!
As if flashing, Aoba, who was behind Itachi, directly punched down.
But only a group of crows flew up.
