[After Itachi broke free from the control of Reanimation Jutsu, he immediately used Amaterasu's black flames on Nagato. As a result, Nagato was thrown to the ground by the summoned beast, which he had summoned himself.]
[With the Amaterasu black flames attaching to Nagato, he couldn't move for a moment. Since Nagato's consciousness was still intact, and he didn't want to hurt Naruto Uzumaki, he stopped his attack and gave up on defending himself.]
[Because Nagato was suddenly taken out, Itachi, Naruto, and Killer B happily entered their rest time.]
[Standing on a tree, Itachi couldn't help but talk about his old friend Shisui and remarked that Naruto resembled Shisui.]
[After praising Naruto, Itachi once again recognized Naruto.]
[At this moment, Nagato, lying on the ground and burning out, was fully controlled by Kabuto, who used Shinra Tensei to push away the Amaterasu flames. Then, using the Rinnegan, he absorbed the Eight-Tails' chakra and activated a technique that made him suddenly look cooler.]
[In an instant, the four began a small-scale battle. Itachi then led the other two in breaking the Chibaku Tensei.]
On screen, the Eight-Tails was gathering the Tailed Beast Ball, Naruto was in Kurama mode preparing his Rasengan, and Itachi had activated his Susanoo.
The three used their strongest techniques and successfully destroyed the Chibaku Tensei, which hadn't even gathered many stones yet.
"Chibaku Tensei? What kind of jutsu is this that made the three people in the screen act so defensively? Before the technique was even fully deployed, they used all their strength to destroy it."
Naruto, Itachi, and Killer B (in his Tailed Beast form) all gave their strongest output.
Naruto's Rasenshuriken, even Kakuzu praised it.
Itachi's Yasaka Magatama was also incredibly strong, and Orochimaru gave his approval.
And Killer B's Tailed Beast Bomb, after he transformed, was a force no one could deny.
So the question is, what kind of power does Chibaku Tensei have to make them target it so specifically?
"On screen, the black sphere thrown by Nagato is clearly a highly concentrated ball of chakra. After floating into the air, it attracts nearby rocks, trees, and other objects. What do you think about that?"
The Third Hokage made it clear, and everyone, not being fools, immediately had some thoughts.
"Old man, are you saying this jutsu's power isn't in its strength, but in its sealing ability?"
"That's likely it. You see, this technique attracts rocks, trees, and other objects, so it should be able to attract humans as well. Once a person is pulled inside, it's the same as being sealed, right?"
"Hm, old man, what you're saying makes a lot of sense, but why do I feel like this technique looks a bit familiar?"
The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, agreed with the Third Hokage's judgment, but he suddenly had a strange sense of déjà vu about the technique.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Look, if this Chibaku Tensei isn't destroyed by Naruto and the others, and it continues to attract rocks and other objects, what do you think it will eventually look like?"
"That's obvious, isn't it? It'll be a sphere. Geez, you're such an idiot, Pervy Sage, you couldn't even think of that?"
Jiraiya wasn't bothered by Naruto calling him an idiot. In fact, he nodded and said, "Yes, it'll be a sphere, a big sphere, a very huge sphere. So, what do you think that sphere will resemble?"
Naruto: "Isn't it just one sphere? How could there be three?"
Jiraiya: "Naruto, stop interrupting."
"Oh."
After Jiraiya's prompt, Kakashi uncertainly responded, "Do you mean the fully-formed Chibaku Tensei will look like the moon?"
Hearing this, Jiraiya slapped the Third Hokage's thigh hard and said, "Exactly, it's like the moon."
The Third Hokage, who was rubbing his sore thigh, angrily yelled at Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, if you're going to slap someone, slap your own thigh! Do you know how painfulful that is?"
"I slapped yours because I know it hurts!" Jiraiya smirked.
"You make a good point. I'm left speechless." After bantering with the Third Hokage, Jiraiya turned back to the group and said, "According to records, the moon was created by the Sage of Six Paths. If my guess is right, there's definitely something sealed inside it."
"If the Third and Fifth Hokage's guess is correct, then this is really bad. If even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't deal with whatever it is, and they had to seal it away, what if it breaks free? Can the ninja world even fight it?"
"Yeah, the ninja world might be done for."
"Asuma, don't be too pessimistic. This is just a guess between me and the old man. What if we're wrong?"
Though he said that, Jiraiya was confident in his guess.
However, he wasn't sure exactly what was sealed inside the moon.
Luckily, everyone could control their curiosity and didn't do anything foolish like trying to bring the moon down to check.
Even if they wanted to satisfy their curiosity, they didn't have the ability.
In the long history of the Ninja World, the moon has never had any problems.
It's not like they could be so unlucky that the moon would have a problem during their lifetime, right?
Hahaha, impossible, absolutely impossible!
[Nagato eventually became the second character in Naruto to be stabbed in the stomach by Itachi using a giant sword.]
[Of course, Orochimaru, inside the Sword of Totsuka, was very pleased when he thought about the former leader of the Akatsuki moving in to keep him company.]
[After completely dealing with Nagato, Itachi looked at Naruto, who wanted to solve everything on his own, and decided to give him some guidance.]
[He warned Naruto: It's not the person who becomes Hokage and will be recognized by everyone, but the person recognized by everyone who can become Hokage.]
[At that moment, Uchiha Itachi stood on top of the "King of Verbal Taunts," reaching the pinnacle of verbal combat, becoming the ruthless God of Verbal Taunts!]
[Following the principle of "give a candy after a whip," after educating Naruto, Itachi expressed his ultimate approval of him, then burned Shisui's eyes, said farewell to Naruto and Killer B, and went personally to stop Reanimation Jutsu.]
"I think what Itachi said to Naruto was quite right."
"I also think what he said was correct."
In the Hokage office, everyone agreed with what Itachi had said.
Listen to this: it's not the person who becomes Hokage that will be recognized by everyone, but the person recognized by everyone who can become Hokage. This sentence is so well said.
"If Itachi hadn't been born in the Uchiha clan, if the atmosphere in Konoha had been a bit better at the time, if the ones in power weren't the Third Hokage and Danzo and others, maybe he really would have had a chance to become Hokage."
After saying this, Kagami glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, who were called out by Kagami, remained expressionless.
"Are you joking? What does it have to do with them, the Third Hokage and the old man Danzo's actions?"
Third Hokage: "As everyone knows, all these bad deeds were done by Danzo, it has nothing to do with me!"
Danzo: "Ah, yes, yes, just put all the blame on me, sure, ah~ spits."
