"It's gone."
"Hurry and see who was fighting."
The disappearance of the massive Ninjutsu piqued the curiosity of some brave individuals.
Of course, some Ninja with long-range observation techniques had already spotted two figures.
Swoosh swoosh!
..."Oh, I almost fell. Good thing I have new Ninjutsu. Your name is Kisame, isn't it? An S-rank rogue Ninja from Hidden Mist Village. Your methods are good, but unfortunately, I'm a step ahead, haha."
Satoru chuckled.
He then relaxed his soul control over parts of Kisame's body.
Kisame's head could move, and he turned to look at Itachi, his face quite calm: "Mr. Itachi, you should go. He needs to control my body and can't focus on two things at once. As for me, I was just a remnant of an era that should disappear from this world anyway. Dying in battle is a normal end for a Ninja."
Hmm?
Itachi's pupils suddenly trembled.
"What's wrong? Am I moving you, haha? I've long known that Mr. Itachi's emotions are a bit different from mine. I never thought that you, who could kill the Uchiha Clan, would have such a side."
Seeing his expression, Kisame suddenly smiled...
Konoha Village.
Itachi looked at the scene before him with trembling eyes. He was currently standing above the Hokage Rock.
Below, Konoha residents were busy with their own affairs.
The scent of daily life permeated the residential area of Konoha.
Three figures were combining to do a mission below, and most importantly, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
"How is it? This is the current Konoha. The residents live in peace and contentment. Everything is very peaceful, and your younger brother is also very safe."
Satoru appeared beside him and said slowly.
When Kisame turned his head to speak, Satoru gave Uchiha Itachi a secret signal, successfully making him drop his guard and appear in his mental space.
Itachi regained his calm expression: "Hmm, I didn't expect the Third Hokage to tell you about this..."
"I came to get information about the Akatsuki Organization. As for what Lord Third Hokage thinks, I don't know. However, if there's anything you want to know, I can answer you."
Satoru said.
"No, it's not needed. Just don't tell Sasuke the truth, senior."
Itachi looked at Sasuke's figure, a long-unseen gentleness on his face.
"Heh, such strong possessiveness. But as a senior, agreeing to this request of yours is nothing. Let's leave it at that."
Satoru just smiled.
Who would tell him the truth? His daughter would need to fight the Ōtsutsuki in the future!
Without hatred, Sasuke's aptitude was indeed a bit lacking. In the future, his daughter would be much stronger than him, which could be seen from how she awakened her Sharingan.
Sarada would definitely play an important role in dealing with the Ōtsutsuki in the future.
Although he was not yet sure if it would develop in that direction.
Just keep it as a backup plan. Anyway, his intervention wouldn't make the protagonist group weaker... "Hey, Mr. Itachi, you weren't really moved by me, were you?"
Kisame looked at Itachi's reaction, thinking, 'Why isn't he running away!'
Swish!
Itachi's two eyes spun like pinwheels, and a large amount of Chakra surged from his body. A red skeletal frame enveloped him.
A colossal Susanoo phantom appeared and slowly transformed into an energy body.
"Amazing! I'll do one too! Exploding Water Shockwave!"
Seeing the Susanoo, Satoru's face lit up with excitement. He controlled Kisame to launch a tsunami towards Itachi.
Facing the tsunami, Itachi merely swung his long sword, splitting it in half directly.
And then slashed towards Satoru.
"What is this?"
Kisame looked at Itachi's new technique, greatly shocked.
Had he used his trump card to save him?
Mr. Itachi, he's truly too gentle!
But his hands uncontrollably formed hand signs, and a geyser launched him and Satoru into the air, avoiding Itachi's attack.
Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique.
After another series of hand signs, the sky was filled with countless Chakra-shaped sharks, flying towards Itachi.
Whoosh whoosh~
Bang bang bang!
A shield appeared, easily blocking all attacks.
"You, this puppet, are too weak in terms of offensive power."
Satoru suddenly appeared behind the Susanoo, his right hand turning pitch black.
"Iron Fist."
Bang!
A punch landed on the skeletal frame.
Crack crack crack!
Fine cracks appeared on Susanoo's energy skeletal frame.
Itachi's eyes narrowed.
This level of attack.
And what was that...?
He clearly saw many tree-branch-like patterns appear where Susanoo and the fist made contact.
However, they quickly disappeared again.
Was this some kind of Ninjutsu?
But he didn't delay. Using the force of the blow, he, including Susanoo, quickly retreated, severing the Chakra threads controlling Kisame's soul with a single slash.
He then formed hand signs and performed Ninjutsu, both transforming into crows and disappearing.
Caw caw~
The crows flew away, leaving only Satoru and a ravaged environment.
"Being a spy isn't easy; you even have to learn acting!"
Satoru scratched his head, recalling his days as a spy in Hidden Rain Village.
Sizzle sizzle!
Countless nerves swayed in his hand.
"But it's not bad. I collected Kisame's body information, and Samehada's information, as well as partial information about Itachi's Susanoo."
Acting was acting, but spoils of war were still necessary.
Just now, he used his punch attack to create cracks in the Susanoo, and his nerves penetrated inside.
However, time was short, so the information collected wasn't extensive.
That energy structure was still very different from Cat God Possession. Its energy structure was far superior to Cat God Possession.
As expected of the Ninja World's absolute defense.
The benefits of this mission were too numerous. He would have to research for a long time when he returned.
However, collecting information on Samehada, and some energy structure information on Susanoo, finally gave him a clue for the third stage of Contact Evolution.
Or rather, it completed a part of the puzzle for the Ninjutsu he envisioned. Next would be to combine all the knowledge and develop it.
By then, he would possess the ability to withstand super-large-scale attacks without effort.
Just wait. His strongest and most perfect Ninjutsu.
It would definitely be completed.
What Water Release, what Tailed Beast Ball, they were all trash... Bang!
He formed hand signs and used Earth Release to clear all traces of the battle.
Then he scanned the surroundings and instantly left the spot.
The crowd who had been watching the show only emerged after a while, looking at the environment.
"That was... that was..."
"Don't stutter, who was that?"
"I don't recognize them."
"If you don't recognize them, why are you even talking?"
"I'll say what I want to say. What, do you want to test if my Shuriken is sharp?"
Of course, there were also those who recognized Satoru, and they were greatly shocked.
Konoha's Captain Satoru had actually run to the Land of Hot spring and engaged in a fierce battle with unknown enemies.
And destroyed a forest farm in the Land of Hot spring.
For the nobles of the Land of Hot spring, this wasn't originally a forest farm, but now it could be.
This information would definitely sell for money. Some clever Ninja had already taken action... Whoosh whoosh~
Itachi brought Kisame to the Akatsuki Organization's secret hideout, set him down, and tears of blood flowed from his eyes.
He leaned against the wall to rest.
"I never thought that Mr. Itachi, for my sake, would actually..."
Kisame was very surprised. Did Itachi even have feelings for him? It seemed unbelievable that such a person would slaughter his entire clan.
But he deeply admired him. Such a person was more likable than many Ninja he had met.
