"It's been a long time." Itachi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
"Huh?" Kisame turned around strangely and found a little brat standing behind him who looked similar to Itachi and looked the same age as Naruto. It was Sasuke, who had been following them secretly when he heard that Itachi was looking for Naruto.
"Itachi..." Sasuke coldly said, his ice-cold voice was full of a murderous aura.
"Oh? He has the Sharingan and looks very similar to you. Who is he, Itachi-san?" Kisame said with a smile.
"He is my younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke," Itachi answered expressionlessly. However, he clenched his hands under the robe. He wanted to tell Sasuke everything, but he had to put on an act.
"I heard that all the members of the Uchiha clan were slaughtered by you, Itachi-san." Kisame looked at Itachi playfully.
"Itachi... I must kill you. I have already done what you said before. From then on, I have hated you and wanted to kill you with my own hands, Chidori!!"
Sasuke stared at his brother. His 2-tomoe Sharingan was fixated on Itachi. The chirping sound from the Chidori suddenly appeared.
"In order to avenge everyone in the clan, I survived for this day!" Sasuke roared and pressed is Chidori against the wall, rushing towards Itachi with sheer hatred and resentment.
"Bang!"
Itachi's Sharingan rotated, and he dodged to his right. He grabbed Sasuke's wrist with one hand, cracking them. Sasuke screamed in pain.
"Chidori... If it was Kakashi or Ryoha, the outcome would be different. Yours is too weak." Itachi mocked his little brother.
"Ryoha?! Ryoha, you say?!." Sasuke's pride was hurt but Itachi's words. He had always wanted to defeat Ryoha. Now, when he heard that the person he hated completely ignored him and actually mentioned the opponent that he had always wanted to defeat, a sense of resentment and jealousy arose inside his heart.
"I know that he is on the same team as you. It seems like my decision to spare back then was right. You are really useless. I really like to see you suffer like this. He is already a powerful ninja, and you are still useless as ever."
Itachi saw the hatred in Sasuke's eyes and immediately understood that his brother should be very jealous of Ryoha and wanted to defeat him. So in order to increase Sasuke's hatred stronger, he used Ryoha to provoke his brother.
"Oh no, I have to think of a way first." Naruto was shocked. He immediately extracted the Nine-tails Chakra from his hand seals. Suddenly, the entire corridor was filled with the powerful Nine-tails Chakra.
"So this is the Nine-tails Chakra. It's really powerful." Kisame showed a hint of interest. He pulled out the Samehada on his back, slowly absorbing the chakra around him.
"How could that be? I can't feel my Chakra..." Naruto was relying on the Nine-tails Chakra, and now that he couldn't feel them, he went into a panic.
"If you pulled any tricks on us, it would be troublesome. Maybe cutting off your hands would be better than your legs." Kisame sneered as he walked over. As he went closer, Naruto's heart was pounding. An unprecedented pressure filled his heart.
"Pop!"
Just as Kisame was about to touch Naruto, a white smoke suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his view. At the same time, the sound of colliding metal rang out. When the smoke dissipated, a man-sized toad blocked his attack with both hands.
"Pervy Sage!" Naruto never realized that Jiraiya's figure was so bright and assuring.
However, his words made Jiraiya, who thought that the particular nickname would definitely attract a lot of attention, feel depressed. This name was very likely to accompany him for the rest of his life, which made him, a glorious man, suffer an indelible blow.
"Remember, don't call me Pervy Sage anymore. I am the Toad Sage, Jiraiya. How could you give this handsome man such a nickname?" Jiraiya blabbered further, but the people around ignored his words.
"Look at you. You can't even control yourself around women. You're really hopeless, Pervy Sage!"
Unfortunately, Jiraiya's attempt at fixing his image failed again. His perverted image had ingrained deep inside Naruto's heart.
"Forget it. Just don't call me Pervy Sage anymore. You guys are the worst. You even used some beautiful women to distract me from Naruto. You know it's better not to involve ordinary people in the battle between ninjas, right?" Jiraya put down the woman who was hypnotized by Itachi and said angrily.
"Don't interfere!" Sasuke once again failed to recognize his position. Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking and was about to make a move, he was kicked away by Itachi into a wall nearby. Itachi approached Sasuke, and once again used the Tsukuyomi on his little brother.
Sasuke was really rubbish. He instantly fell into the illusion of the Tsukuyomi. He once again relived all the terrible scenes from his past while tortured inside the Tsukuyomi. His Sharingan didn't make any difference at all. No wonder Itachi gave everything including his own life and his eyes in order to awaken Sasuke's Mangekyo.
"Do not hurt Sasuke!" When Naruto saw that his friend was in trouble, he immediately rushed over. Jiraiya, who didn't want his disciple's son to be harmed, quickly made a hand seal, and a flesh wall immediately appeared around the corridor.
"What is this?"
"Kuchiyose - Toad Mouth Bind!" Jiraya smiled. He was very confident in this move of his. Although his jutsu did have a weakness, no one had been able to pass through it before. It was a pity that he underestimated the power of Amaterasu. If the Amaterasu was used to hit the weakest spot of the flesh corridor, it would definitely be easily penetrated.
