Parallel World 3.
Konoha 63, on the eve of the Chunin Exams.
The border of the Rain Country.
Two figures are taking shelter from the rain in a cave.
"This country is always like this, it seems like it never stops raining!" Kisame said emotionally, leaning against the rock wall and carefully guarding Samehada.
Itachi didn't respond. Instead, he walked out of the cave alone and bathed in the rain.
"Itachi, getting wet is bad for your health!"
"Let's go. We don't have much time."
"Yes, yes, it's rare to see Itachi in such a hurry? This mission isn't too difficult, is it?"
Kisame smiled faintly and stood up to leave.
But as soon as he stepped out of the cave, his whole body tensed up and he looked into the distance with great vigilance.
"Who's there?"
Dozens of meters away from them, behind the misty rain curtain, a figure suddenly appeared.
The other party's clothes were rather strange and he looked very young.
An oval-shaped force field vaguely surrounded his body, and every raindrop that fell on him would bounce off.
He looked very mysterious and seemed to have a higher level of authority than Pain.
Most importantly, the other party's eyes.
Those rippling lavender eyes, every Akatsuki member is very familiar with those eyes!
"Those eyes, who are you?"
"Are you the leader?"
Kisame asked unconsciously. Except for Pain, he had never seen those 'god eyes' on anyone else.
"No, not him! The aura is different..."
Itachi stopped Kisame.
Staring at Lux from afar, he could tell the difference between him and Pain in an instant.
"Not the leader? Then who are you? What do you want with us?"
Kisame held Samehada and drew a water sign in the middle of the rain, pointing directly at Lux.
He's polite, but only to people he knows.
Lux was too lazy to pay attention to Kisame and said coldly, "Let you go on your own. I'm not interested in talking to idiots."
"Who are you really? Who do you think is the idiot?" Kisame was a little unhappy.
As he was about to ask, he suddenly found that Itachi on his left was slowly disappearing!
"Itachi???"
Why did Itachi suddenly disappear?
Wait, could he be in an illusion?
Hasn't Itachi been his real self all this time?
Has he been talking to himself all this time?
Itachi's true form was revealed, he jumped from the top of the rock wall, and actually returned to Kisame.
He did use an illusion to confuse Kisame, but his true form was never too far away.
If the distance was too far, it would be impossible to control and maintain the illusion accurately.
Then why was it used on Kisame?
First, he can continue to practice his illusion skills, and second, he can continue to increase Kisame's illusion resistance.
There are still benefits.
Not daring to be too far away also makes it easier for the main body to intervene in the rescue immediately if something goes wrong during the mission.
"Itachi, you..."
Kisame was a little confused, not yet accepting reality.
The Itachi who had been accompanying him all this time was actually just a ghost. So was he just talking to himself before?
He even had the kindness to comfort and care for Itachi.
This thought, Kisame couldn't help but feel embarrassed and ashamed.
Itachi seemed to have guessed what Kisame was thinking, and answered specifically: "I can always hear what you say."
Illusion isn't divine magic, after all, it has to be controlled by the spellcaster.
If there's no one controlling it, the Itachi that Kisame saw is just his own imaginary personality. Such a shadow is too distorted and can't even really discuss the mission with Kisame, and this is not what Itachi wants.
Kisame suddenly smiled, and his previous shame disappeared. He knew Itachi was hot, and he was never as cold as he looked.
"Are you done chatting?"
Lux interrupted, no longer wanting to wait any longer.
"What are you doing?"
Itachi asked in a deep voice, still very alert.
The other party has the Rinnegan as strong as Pain, so it must not be easy for him to go to great lengths to find him.
Either fight or talk.
There are only two possibilities.
If given the choice, Itachi would rather talk about it. He has the Mangekyo Sharingan and knows the power and terror of the Rinnegan much better than most people!
"Simple, Uchiha Itachi, I'm going to borrow your left eye."
Lux directly stated his intentions.
He specifically came to Parallel World 3 just for Itachi's left eye, or more precisely, for the eye pupil technique of his left eye, Tsukuyomi.
Itachi was a little surprised, wondering why the other party wanted to take his Mangekyo Sharingan when he clearly had the superior Rinnegan?
Because of the unique eye pupil technique of his left eye?
"Is there room for peaceful talks?" Itachi added.
Although his hopes were small, he still didn't want to take action.
"Borrow or die!"
Lux was very domineering.
It's said to be borrowed, but it's almost the same as being robbed.
No matter what reason the other party had for slaughtering his entire family, Lux had no sympathy for him at all.
If the other party insists on fighting, Lux doesn't mind killing Itachi first and weakening Akatsuki in this world first.
Nothing can stop him from completing his mission and achieving his goal of becoming immortal!
Itachi's eyes darkened slightly.
He knew that the deal had failed. After the negotiation failed, it meant a fight.
If the other party wants his eyes, use force to get them!
Itachi, who had long hidden his awkwardness, believed that even facing Pain, he wasn't necessarily defeated.
"Itachi, can you do it? He wants your eyes, you arrogant guy!" Kisame was eager to try it.
"Be careful. This guy is very dangerous!" Itachi hurriedly reminded Kisame. He was very aware of the danger of special eye skills.
Without knowing what kind of eye skills his opponent had, he took action rashly.
He is likely to be 'killed at first sight'!
Then let him test it first!
Kisame didn't show any fear, he raised his hand and rushed forward, turning into a shadow in the rain curtain with incredible speed!
Unfortunately, what greeted him...
Almighty Push
One of the basic abilities of the Rinnegan, when activated, can center on itself and deflect all surrounding objects and ninjutsu, causing damage to those objects.
This move has weaknesses, such as a certain cooldown time, inability to bounce off objects stronger than itself, etc...
But it's clear that Kisame isn't among them.
Kisame rushed forward with enthusiasm. In a flash, he was bounced back by the Almighty Push, flying backwards hundreds of meters, and crashing into the rock wall of the cave behind him.
Seeing this, Itachi's expression became even more serious.
The opponent does have the same power as Pain!
That would be a big problem!
Itachi didn't dare to hold back.
Immediately open the Mangekyo Sharingan, look at Lux, and activate Tsukiyomi on him.
