Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Team 7 was not as fast as Uchiha Itachi, and with the burden of Dazna, the speed was even slower.

Not long after, several people were caught up by Uchiha Itachi, blocking the way of retreat.

Dazna, who was still unclear about what happened, asked Naruto and Sasuke: "What happened? Are they also Cardo's subordinates? Why are you running away?"

"Didn't you kill the two assassins in seconds?"

Naruto explained with a serious face: "Uchiha Itachi is different from the previous two ninjas. He can destroy an entire ninja clan overnight by himself. That is a force stronger than the Land of Waves."

After hearing this, Dazna's face changed, and he instantly understood the strength of Uchiha Itachi.

Retreating behind Naruto, Dazna said cautiously: "What should we do? We won't die here today, right? I can't die yet, the Wave Country Bridge is still waiting for me to build."

Sasuke looked at Dazna deeply, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense. Naruto, you and Sakura take Dazna to retreat first, and I will deal with Uchiha Itachi."

Naruto looked at Sasuke, frowned and said: "You are not Uchiha Itachi's opponent, I can't watch you go to die."

Sasuke nodded, and then said: "Going separately is always more hopeful than staying together, and I still have a lot of questions to ask him."

Hearing this, Naruto no longer hesitated and left with Dazna first.

Sakura looked at Sasuke, then at Uchiha Itachi, and after looking at Itachi's face that was somewhat similar to Sasuke, she followed Naruto's pace.

Uchiha Itachi is Sasuke's brother, and he should not kill Sasuke.

Watching Naruto and the others leave, Uchiha Itachi had no intention of stopping them. His target of this trip was Dazna, but Sasuke was more important than anything else.

The two brothers looked at each other, and the next moment they disappeared from the spot.

Facing this demon who killed his parents and the entire family, Sasuke did not hold back, and used all his strength from the beginning, wanting to kill his enemy.

After locking Uchiha Itachi's position with the Sharingan, Sasuke pulled away, made a seal with both hands, and whispered: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

In an instant, a ball of fire condensed and formed, sweeping towards Uchiha Itachi's position.

Uchiha Itachi also made a seal with both hands and cast a great fireball of the same size. The two fireballs collided with each other and finally exploded, turning the surrounding land into scorched earth.

After seeing that the great fireball had no effect, Sasuke immediately changed his battle plan.

He planned to make a trap with kunai, steel wire and detonating talismans, but before he could complete the trap, he was seen through by Uchiha Itachi.

Sasuke, who was still unwilling to give up, mobilized his pupil power and launched a Sharingan illusion towards Uchiha Itachi.

Seeing Sasuke performing an illusion, Uchiha Itachi was a little surprised, and then stood still, allowing Sasuke to perform an illusion.

In the face of the absolute difference in pupil power, the illusion performed by Sasuke could not shake Uchiha Itachi at all.

Seeing that ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu were all cracked by Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke felt desperate. He regretted going out this time. If he could practice for a while longer and improve his strength to that of a jonin.

He would not be as powerless as he is now.

Looking at Sasuke with a look of despair in his eyes, Uchiha Itachi was very satisfied. Although Sasuke's strength was not as good as his own back then, it was already good at this age.

As long as he gave Sasuke enough mental stimulation, Sasuke might be able to awaken the Mangekyō as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi walked towards Sasuke step by step, and said without emotion:

"Sasuke, you disappoint me very much. I thought the lesson of that night would leave a deep impression on you and you would never forget it in your life. I didn't expect you to be immersed in comfort and forget what you should do."

Hearing this, Sasuke gritted his teeth and said: "Uchiha Itachi, who told you that I forgot what happened back then? I can never forgive you for what you did, and I always want to cut you into pieces."

"But I'm curious, why didn't you kill me too?"

Uchiha Itachi smiled, and then said: "Of course, to train an opponent for me. I am a very capable Uchiha. I look forward to one day when you grow up and bring me new surprises."

Sasuke frowned, and then said: "Not that... It's simple, if that's the case, you don't have to kill your parents and clan members. "

Uchiha Itachi smiled playfully:

"I didn't expect you to find out, but I didn't think of hiding it from you. I told you generously that I attacked my father, mother and clan members in order to let my Sharingan enter a higher stage. "

"Only extreme pain can make the Sharingan complete its transformation and become a Mangekyō Sharingan. "

"After the extermination of the clan, I awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the reason why I deliberately let you go is also very simple, because you have what I need, which can make me go further. "

"Hate me well, if one day you forget the hatred, I will come and kill you. "

Before he finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi performed the Tsukuyomi technique on Sasuke, looked at Sasuke who was limp on the ground, and left without looking back.

Sasuke stretched out his palm and wanted to catch Uchiha Itachi, but he was already trapped in the illusion.

Looking at the blood-red moon above his head, Sasuke became the child returning from school again, running on the blood-spattered streets, and his originally vague memories became clearer and clearer.

…

It took a few minutes for Uchiha Itachi to catch up with Naruto and others.

Looking at Naruto, who was holding a sharp blade and looking serious, Uchiha Itachi felt a little confused.

According to the agreement between him and the Third Hokage, he could not take action against the Konoha Ninja Village, at least not against the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Naruto.

But the order he received from the masked man was to capture the tailed beast.

This conflicted with the masked man's order. If he missed this great opportunity, the masked man would definitely be suspicious of him, and it would be difficult to continue to be an undercover agent on the masked man's side in the future.

Should we give up here temporarily and rush over to support Kisame?

But he knew about Kisame's strength. Kakashi-senpai's strength was at least 50-50 equal to Kisame's. If he accidentally captured Kakashi, the village would lose another important combat force.

With neither party planning to take the initiative, the situation becomes a little more delicate.

After pondering for a moment, Naruto said to Uchiha Itachi: "Uchiha Itachi, what did you do to Sasuke?"

Itachi Uchiha glanced at Naruto and said disapprovingly: "You cast an illusion to make Sasuke unconscious. Why do you care so much about Sasuke? So you ask me, an enemy, about his safety?"

Naruto's expression changed slightly, Sasuke was indeed a very important companion to him.

Unlike the other hypocritical villagers and ninjas in the village, Sasuke sympathizes with him and is one of the few people who communicates with him on an equal footing.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Itachi felt a little emotional.

Sasuke also found his companion. It seems that the Third Hokage and Shisui have really fulfilled their agreement with him, and the plan to train Sasuke is progressing steadily.

After sighing, Uchiha Itachi decided to take action against Naruto.

He could fail to capture Naruto for various reasons, but he couldn't see Naruto without taking any action, otherwise it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the masked man.

And just when Uchiha Itachi was about to approach Naruto, Konoha Anbu stood between the two.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Konoha Anbu, the ninjas present were a little surprised. After seeing Konoha Anbu taking out their identity marks, Naruto and others breathed a sigh of relief.

The ANBU captain stared at Uchiha Itachi for a while, then said in a complicated tone: "Uchiha Itachi, long time no see. Unfortunately, we are enemies this time."

Uchiha Itachi also recognized the other party's identity and nodded: "Long time no see, Yamato."

Uchiha Itachi and Yamato had both served in Konoha ANBU. Although they were not familiar with each other, they had some connections and knew each other's identities and some abilities.

After the greetings, Yamato said to Uchiha Itachi: "Uchiha Itachi, I give you two choices. One is that I will capture Konoha, and the other is that you leave now."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, and then said: "I have no intention of surrendering, and I have no intention of leaving."

Hearing this, Yamato sighed, then formed a seal and shouted: "Wood Release: The Sea of ​​Trees is Coming!"

With the completion of the seal, the earth split into two halves, and huge trees rose from the ground, turning the surrounding open space into a sea of ​​forest.

After changing the venue, Yamato did not rush to attack, but said to Naruto:

"You little brats, stop standing here stupidly. Get out of here quickly. I won't be able to hold on for long. I have to rely on you to escape."

"Mudun is no match for Uchiha Itachi?!"

Sakura was very shocked. This was the first time she saw Mu Dun, but it did not prevent her from knowing the reputation of Mu Dun. The first Hokage once relied on Mu Dun to calm down the troubled times and end the Warring States Period.

Yamato's expression changed, and then he said: "My wood escape is not as good as the first generation. It would be good to be able to delay Uchiha Itachi for a while, and taking you with me will only affect my ability to exert my strength."

Naruto and Sakura looked a little embarrassed.

In the high-end battles, they have become a burden, but it is relieved to think about it. In this kind of battle that can easily change the terrain, they really cannot play much role.

Outside the forest sea, faced with the sudden arrival of the tree world.

Itachi Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found a reason to let Naruto go. Although Yamato was not very old, he had become famous in the ninja world in recent years and had the title of Wood Release Yamato.

If it weren't for the existence of the monster Byakuya, Yamato would be considered the number one wood escaper in the ninja world.

Putting back his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Uchiha Itachi began to seriously deal with Yamato. He also wanted to compete with the masters of the ninja world to see how much he had improved over the years.

After making the determination in his heart not to let go, Uchiha Itachi formed a seal with his hands.

I saw a fireball that was five times larger than before, condensed and formed, and hit Lin Hai directly. The fireball directly exploded Lin Hai, igniting a raging fire.

According to the tendency of the flames to spread, the entire forest sea can be burned in less than five minutes.

However, what Uchiha Itachi didn't expect was that after the flames spread for a certain distance, they went out automatically. Yamato, who was hiding in the forest, used the Water Release Ninjutsu to extinguish the flames.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi remembered that Yamato was not only a master of wood escape, but also a master of water escape.

With the wood escape and water escape complementing each other, the fire escape cannot be the nemesis of the wood escape. In addition, the wood escape has its own seal and illusion effects, so it is very difficult to break the tree world descending technique.

It's no wonder that Yamato was able to achieve such a prestigious name in the ninja world in just a few years.

The blood succession limits and techniques used by the first Hokage were so unparalleled that they were simply hexagonal warriors without any shortcomings.

However, if he really wants to crack the Wood Release: Tree World Advent, there are ways.

Although Wood Release is powerful, the Susanoo that comes with his Mangekyō Sharingan can also break it violently. If he uses Susanoo to force his way into the forest, Yamato will not be able to stop him.

But Susanoo is reserved for the masked man and cannot be easily exposed.

Moreover, there is a price to pay for using the Mangekyō. If the pupil power is used in a short period of time, the Mangekyō will be at risk of blindness, and in the end, it will become blind.

…

After escaping twice in a row, Naruto felt deeply frustrated.

After defeating the wandering ninja, he was actually a little complacent in his heart, thinking that although he was only a Genin, his strength had reached the Jonin stage.

The reason why he did not become a Jonin in the village was simply because he was not old enough.

As long as he participated in the Chunin assessment, became the captain of the Chunin, and had the authority to perform tasks independently, he would soon be promoted to Jonin, and then through a series of highlights, he would become the new Hokage of Konoha.

But what he didn't expect was that the first time he went out on a mission, he encountered monsters like Uchiha Itachi and Kisame, and fell into an endless pursuit.

Who are Uchiha Itachi and Kisame?

They are both top-notch among the jonin, and their strength is not inferior to that of the Five Kage.

Facing such an enemy, he wanted to resist, but his hands and feet were out of control, and he had no courage to fight at all. In this respect, he was even worse than Sasuke.

If his life goal was just to survive, it would be understandable to retreat.

But his goal is to become a Hokage, and a Hokage cannot hide forever. Hiding once or twice is excusable, but hiding a few more times is cowardly.

Just as Naruto was thinking about it, a scream came from Sakura and Dazna.

Naruto frowned, not understanding why Sakura and Dazna were shouting. They were running away now, and if they made a noise, it would only increase the risk of exposure.

"Naruto... Another new ninja has found us."

After hearing this, Naruto slowly turned around and looked at the location of Sakura and Dazna. He saw a ninja wearing a mask on a tree trunk not far away, looking down at them from above.

This ninja had bright hair and did not speak or make any movements.

Just standing there, he put great pressure on Naruto and others.
