I defected before Genocide Night

Kakashi didn't hesitate and quickly used the teleportation technique to leave.

There are still living companions in Konoha Village, and he cannot ignore the safety of his currently living companions because of his deceased best friend.

"The situation here must be reported to the third generation!" Kakashi quickly jumped on the roof, covering his left eye, feeling very anxious.

As for Itachi who is still hunting for Gennō, Kakashi believes that as long as Itachi wants to leave, Uchiha Taki and Gennō will not be able to keep him.

The safety of the village is more important.

On the other side, Itachi, who followed Xuan Neng and ran into the cave, was also experiencing a battle.

Xuan Neng is not too old to move, his physical skills are not weak, and he seems to know how to deal with Uchiha genjutsu, always avoiding Itachi's eyes.

The ninjutsu of Sunfire Village was of a more spiritual type. Itachi had no relevant information to refer to, and he was cautious and did not insist on attacking too much.

After all, he couldn't determine whether his offensive would trigger the detonating device of the detonating talisman.

He cannot use some ninjutsu similar to the fireball jutsu.

Unless the Mangekyo Eye Technique is used, it is impossible to subdue Xuan Neng in a short period of time. But given the current situation of the Uchiha clan, Itachi is obviously not suitable to expose the existence of the Mangekyo Sharingan at this time.

"Wait a moment, Kakashi-senpai should be able to subdue Taki soon and come in to support me!"

Itachi, who was helpless and unable to go all out, was dodging Xuan Neng's attacks while trying to delay time so that Kakashi, who was good at lightning escape, could come in and destroy the detonating talisman.

But after a long time, the person who came in was Taki.

"How is it possible?" Even Itachi, who had always been calm, was very surprised at this time, "Kakashi-senpai was subdued by you?"

It was just that Taki, who had awakened the twin Magatama Sharingan, should not have subdued Kakashi so quickly. Even Itachi himself was not sure that he could subdue Kakashi without using the Mangekyou Eye Technique.

At the moment when Itachi was in a daze, Xuan Neng attacked. Fortunately, Itachi himself was proficient in crow ninjutsu, and the body that was hit instantly turned into a group of substitute ninja crows.

"Tch, it's really difficult!" Taki folded his arms and watched the battle.

Itachi knew very well that on his own, without using the Mangekyou Eye Technique, he might not be able to subdue Taki and Xuan Neng at the same time. Maybe the other party had other companions, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Kakashi-senpai.

This will be quickly overcome by Taki.

Of course Itachi didn't know that Taki's double Magatama Sharingan was different from other clan members.

And Taki, who is also talented in genjutsu, has understood Kakashi's weakness from the beginning. Because Kakashi cannot close his Sharingan, his chakra has been in a state of insufficient chakra for a long time.

One thing goes another way, so it's not surprising that Kakashi will return without success.

There was no Kakashi to restrain Taki at the moment, and Itachi was not in a position to take action rashly.

It wasn't that he was afraid that his own safety would be threatened. To be precise, even the two of them together couldn't do anything to him.

But once Xuan Neng exerts his combat intelligence and lets Taki come over to restrain him, and then Xuan Neng detonates a massive amount of detonating talismans, Konoha will fall into disaster.

In order not to irritate Taki and Gennou and bring disaster to Konoha, Itachi knew that the best choice at the moment was to retreat first and accurately convey the information to the third generation.

As for Kakashi-senpai, who has been subdued by Taki and the others, they can only wait for the third generation to come over and then think of a solution.

After thinking about it, Itachi's body turned into a group of ninja crows again, and they ran away to nowhere.

Xuan Neng collapsed on the ground exhausted, smiling regretfully and said: "What a pity, we couldn't capture him!"

It’s good that you didn’t get captured by him.

Taki glanced at him and saw that Xuan Neng was not trying his best. He sneered: "I hope you won't do any tricks. Could it be that the hatred of Kagero Village being destroyed by Konoha ninjas can't make you wake up?"

Although there is no Naruto, Xuan Neng has been integrated into Konoha for nearly twenty years. It is hard to say that he does not have personal feelings for this place.

But Taki currently needs him to cause trouble and buy time for his defection.

"You know a lot of things!" Xuan Neng showed a surprised expression and asked puzzledly: "But why do you, who came from a wealthy family in Konoha, hate Konoha so much now?"

"No, I don't hate Konoha!" Taki shook his head, denying what the other party said, "In my opinion, Konoha and other ninja villages are all the same."

He couldn't integrate into Konoha so quickly, especially when he was in an unsafe situation.

"Maybe it's because I'm getting older and can't see through the thoughts of you young people more and more." Xuan Neng smiled slightly, his eyes flickering vaguely.

"Now that you are older, you should face your destiny. You will not forget the sneak attack on Kagero Village by Konoha, right? And your son who likes to play ninja games with you, if he is still alive,

Maybe you are already in your twenties or almost thirty now, maybe you have grandchildren."

Taki's words made Xuanneng fall into a trance, "Yes, it should indeed be that big."

He thought of the yellow-haired child he met at the Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant a few days ago, and murmured: "Maybe he will be as lively as that child, pestering me to play ninja games!"

"Hey! Aren't you? Don't make such a dying expression. I'm worried about whether you can continue to carry out the execution." Taki helplessly held his forehead.

…

After leaving Hokage Rock, Kakashi went straight to the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant where the Sandaime was.

But when he arrived, Sandai had already left.

"Where is the Third Generation? I have something very important to report." Kakashi found his ANBU colleagues and asked them about the whereabouts of the Third Generation.

The Anbu who was grabbed by him was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized and brought Kakashi to the third generation.

"Kakashi, didn't you find Uchiha Taki?" The third generation was not idle, he was looking through the information and thinking about what happened before.

If it was really Uchiha Taki who used illusion hypnosis to control the spy to get close to Naruto, then what would be his real purpose?

Sandai vaguely noticed something was wrong.

Kakashi shook his head and said, "Uchiha Taki has an accomplice, and they planted countless detonating symbols in Konoha. Uchiha Taki asked..."

Listening to Kakashi conveying Taki's words, the wrinkles on the third generation's face looked even more aged.

"Could Taki's actions be the instruction of the Uchiha clan?" This thought flashed through Sandai's mind, but he quickly shook his head and rejected this guess.

"If it is really the Uchiha clan, there is no need to destroy the village. There must be other reasons."

Due to insufficient information, Sandai could not figure out the purpose of Taki's actions.

At this time, Kakashi suddenly said: "Could you be threatened by someone?"

But after the words came out, Kakashi himself didn't feel like it. After all, based on what they had seen during the battle, Taki had unique insights into genjutsu, and there were obviously not many people who could defeat and control it.

Of course, Kakashi believed that if he, now wary of himself, were to fight Uchiha Taki, then even if he could not capture Uchiha Taki, he could still repel him.

After all, information is very important in a ninja battle. Before this, he had no idea that Uchiha Taki could use such advanced illusions.

There was an eerie silence in the air, and both Kakashi and Sandai were silent, thinking about various possibilities.

"Since Uchiha Taki wants to negotiate terms, they probably won't activate the detonation device before I rush over."

The Sandaime sighed and told his ANBU subordinates: "Go ahead and be prepared to surround Taki and his companions. Remember, don't act rashly."

"Yes!" Several ANBU members who followed Kakashi nodded and left quickly.

"Hokage-sama..." Kakashi thought of Itachi who was still fighting the enemy, and wanted the third generation to come over as soon as possible to support him.

But at this time, Itachi used the teleportation technique and rushed over.

"Itachi, you're fine." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kakashi-senpai, you were not caught by them?" Itachi's eyes flickered and he said curiously.

Since Taki arrived earlier than Kakashi to support him, he guessed that Kakashi was defeated in the battle, so he mistakenly thought that the opponent had other accomplices, so he chose to retreat.

"Now it seems that I underestimated Kakashi-senpai!"

The third generation interrupted their conversation and said: "Itachi, you came at the right time. You also fought with Uchiha Taki just now, right? Can't you and Kakashi catch him?"

The third generation knew very well the actual combat power of Kakashi and Itachi. Not to mention ordinary jounin, even the elite jounin could not compete with Itachi and Kakashi at the same time.

"Does Uchiha Taki actually have such strong fighting power?" The third generation sighed with emotion.

Kakashi defended himself and Itachi: "Uchiha Taki has great talent in genjutsu. With only two magatama, he can make me fall into genjutsu through the sound of the crow."

Itachi's expression changed slightly.

For him who is proficient in illusion, it is indeed not difficult to use the ninja crow to make the enemy fall into the illusion, but it depends on who the opponent is.

Kakashi, who also possesses the Sharingan, is no stranger to the illusion of the Sharingan. Itachi once simulated a battle in his mind, but even if Itachi did it himself, he could not guarantee that Kakashi would be able to use it in such a short time.

Xi fell into illusion.

But do double magatama really have such strong eye power?

Itachi was a little unsure, after all, the strength of the eye's power varied from person to person.

Sandai, who had been observing Itachi, knew from the subtle changes in his expression at this moment that Itachi was also surprised by this.

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Sandai said: "Itachi, could this be Uchiha Taki's revenge?"

"Retaliation?" Itachi looked at the third generation and said in confusion: "Is it because the village refused to let him leave, so he wanted to blow up the Hokage Rock and bury most of the village with him?"

"If this is really the case, then we absolutely cannot tolerate it like this." Kakashi said coldly.

After hearing Kakashi's words, Itachi fell silent, not knowing how to defend the Uchiha clan.

Sandai sighed tiredly: "Maybe I was wrong."

Seeing the third generation showing his tired state and saying such incomprehensible words, Itachi felt a little uneasy in his heart.
