Chapter 103 Prepare for action, target: Itachi!

Three days later, in Kusanagi Village.

Naoki, who was constantly trying to develop ninjutsu, frowned slightly as he looked at the exposed bones of his fingers, which were recovering.

"Still not stable enough?"

"The power of explosive escape is really not easy to control."

Looking at the unrecognizable giant tree in front of me, I stepped on it and it completely grew back from the damaged stubble.

Mudun is really useful in other aspects. At least as a training product, you don't have to worry about damaging the environment at all.

When each protagonist is practicing, the big tree next to them observes half a second of silence.

The Rope Tree raised his hand again and pointed it at the giant tree in front of him. The lightning flashed at his fingertips and the light arc jumped.

Whoosh!

A flash of lightning left an afterimage on the retina, and a violent explosion sounded.

A strong wind swept across, blowing the rope tree's clothes, and the giant tree was already submerged under the explosion.

Shengshu shook his smoking fingers, and the burning pain gradually subsided.

"It seems that if the explosive escape is integrated into the lightning, the harmonious change in properties is still difficult to reconcile."

Just as the rope tree was about to adjust the chakra ratio, a call from the rear spring rang out.

"Lord Nogeki!"

The electric arc that lit up at his fingertips flashed away, and the rope tree turned to look at Quan.

"What's wrong?"

A secret scroll was handed over to Quan respectfully. Nao Shu took it and opened it, and it became clear immediately.

"Orochimaru-sensei?"

The general message above was that Itachi's whereabouts had been found and that he would be waiting for him at the border of the Land of Fire.

"Quan, let's go out."

"Huh? Oh!"

Hearing that Naoshu was taking her with him, Quan was stunned at first, and then his expression became happy.

Master Nao Shu is finally willing to take her out with him again!

…

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Sichuan.

Itachi was wearing an Akatsuki uniform with black background and red clouds, and was walking alone in the forest.

After the last gathering of the Akatsuki organization, Itachi, who was far away in another country, returned to the Akatsuki organization according to the order, reunited with the newcomer Kisame Inikaki, and went to the Earth Kingdom to recruit new members.

but……

Itachi walked through the forest and stepped onto the stone steps. He stopped suddenly and looked up.

Under a red torii, two figures, also wearing Akatsuki uniforms, stood there.

This made him frown, his heart sank, and he felt a little bad.

It has been about a year since he joined Akatsuki now, and he is no longer the Itachi he was before. The first time he saw those two figures, he understood something in his heart.

He didn't speak, but continued to walk upwards. As the distance between the two parties got closer, Itachi's eyes had already turned into scarlet three-magatama Sharingan.

Looking at the rope tree and Orochimaru above, Itachi's expression did not change. He just stopped and said as he approached: "Aren't you afraid of the leader of the Akatsuki organization by doing this?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked it greedily, and said hoarsely: "Itachi, you don't naively think that the other party will appear here now!"

Itachi's heart sank. He really didn't expect it, but he didn't expect that Orochimaru would attack him so early and bring...

"Senju...rope tree!"

"Is that your plan too?"

Itachi looked at the man who left Konoha with him. He couldn't understand him at the beginning.

Not only the appearance of the other party, but also the identity of the other party and the purpose of the other party.

Even after a little private investigation, he didn't know much, he was just vigilant.

Naoki smiled, with a trace of ridicule in his eyes, and said coldly: "Your heart right now is still towards Konoha!"

As soon as these words came out, Itachi's eyes darkened, while Orochimaru showed a hint of amusement.

Killing the Uchiha clan and defecting to Konoha was also a surprise to Orochimaru.

He originally thought that the other party would be like him, but now it seems that is not the case.

Naoki continued: "Because the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha cannot be reconciled, you chose to destroy your own clan in advance before the Uchiha clan's coup."

"I have to say, Itachi! You are really scary, so cold and scary."

"No, you shouldn't be considered a human being anymore, but a real tool, just a tool."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. He was not very interested in what happened back then, so he didn't understand it.

However, considering the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, there is no possibility that what Naoki said is false.

But Itachi was silent, slowly raised his head, his eyes turned into Mangekyō Sharingan, and said coldly: "Do you know too much?"

【monthly reading】!

In an instant, just a blink of an eye, Orochimaru's forehead broke out in dense cold sweat, and his body staggered slightly.

But his expression was extremely excited, and he murmured: "Is this the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan? It's really an awesome power!"

"Noseki, you are indeed right, the Mangekyō Sharingan is a completely different power."

Shengshu smiled slightly: "Teacher, it seems you understand now."

Orochimaru wiped the cold sweat from his head, and his eyes stared at Itachi below with a greedy expression.

"I now fully understand that if I were unprepared and acted alone, the outcome would indeed be as you said."

Itachi looked at Orochimaru and frowned slightly. He had indeed pulled Orochimaru into Tsukuyomi, but the other party's reaction was completely different from what he had imagined.

The Senju Rope Tree and Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly glared, and black flames instantly rose up on the two of them.

Orochimaru opened his mouth in the black flames, and a white snake shadow instantly shuttled out.

In order to cope with Itachi's ability mentioned by Naoshu, he had already transformed his current body in a targeted manner.

And the rope tree...

Under the blazing black flames, the dry puppet was crackling.

When Itachi saw this, he immediately stopped [Amaterasu] and wondered: "Puppet or substitute?"

These are not the key points. The key point is that the other party seems to have understood his abilities a long time ago and took precautions in advance.

In Itachi's mind, he thought about the mission in the Kingdom of Water. The other party might not have left at all, but was looking at him from somewhere he didn't know.

Whoosh!

A vine burst out from the ground, instantly binding Itachi and binding him tightly.

On the torii gate, the figure of the rope tree slowly descended and stood on it.

The white snake wrapped around the torii also opened its bloody mouth. Orochimaru emerged from it and said: "Noseki, do it your way!"

Naoki smiled: "Then let me test the strength of this genius of the Uchiha clan."

With a squeeze of his hand, the rattan underneath suddenly locked up, subduing Itachi's broad Akatsuki and outlining his shape.

Ga~ga~

The cry of crows sounded, and the weasel disintegrated into countless crows, circling around, and finally reunited into human form.

He raised his head and looked at the two people who attacked him, his eyes darkened: "It seems that you have already planned to identify the rebel organization."
