Konoha: This ninja is covered in liver

In the early morning, a cold thick fog appeared on the sea. With the help of advanced heading instruments, the warship finally captured the hazy and rhythmic lighthouse of the Kingdom of Tea in the distance.

Night, 12:25.

The battleship arrived safely at Akutagong, the Kingdom of Tea.

Login successfully.

Fugaku and Itachi, together with the Uchiha elders and the core members of the Kingdom of Tea, stood at the shore and waited in the harbor without saying a word, wearing robes and braving the cold sea breeze.

It's been more than half a month.

After fighting on two fronts.

The boy's return brought a complete end to the battle with the Kirigakure hawks' rebellious ninja.

Bai Yu jumped down from the deck of the battleship and landed safely. Behind him, Fu, who was wearing thin clothes and holding Terumi Mei, shivered.

Although the weather was cold when they set out, it was not as touching as it was now.

It was so cold that the Nanao Jinchuuriki couldn't hold on.

"Welcome Master Yanying back to the village!"

Fugaku was wearing a fur coat and stood tall in the group of elders. The other elders dressed seriously and followed Fugaku behind him, full of momentum.

Bai Yu sighed softly, glanced at the subordinates who welcomed his return this time, brought Shisui and Kisame to Fugaku and Itachi, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It should be!" Fugaku sighed, and when his eyes noticed Terumi Mei being supported by Fu and Chojuro, his eyes lit up.

It is indeed their shadow!

Every time I go out, I gain something.

This kind of harvest is often unexpected.

"We'll talk about the rest after we return to the Uchiha Building!" Bai Yu took out the scarf given to him by Ino from the seal scroll, wrapped himself tightly, and looked at Itachi beside him, "Itachi, I have a task for you."

Itachi, who was wearing a thick coat, looked stunned and nodded without thinking too much.

Bai Yu asked Zhishui to go back with the large army.

He himself, Itachi and Kisame were still standing on the shore of the harbor until the surroundings were silent and only the three of them were left standing in the cold wind.

Kisame, who carried a large sword on his back, was not afraid of the severe cold, and looked at Itachi with curiosity. The young man in front of him had deep tear grooves, a mature appearance, and a hint of arrogance in his eyes, but Kisame couldn't feel any disgust towards him.

Bai Yu made it clear directly:

"Kisame, this will be your future teammate and partner in Uchiha. As for the team leader, it is up to you two to decide."

This is a difficult problem.

Generally speaking.

Itachi is the most suitable to be the captain, but now that these two people have met for the first time, their dissatisfaction will become the main point of conflict.

"Itachi, I will give you a task temporarily. This is the new member of the family who joined the Ninja Village, Kisame Inigaki, one of the Seven Kirigakure Ninja Swordsmen, and the holder of the Great Sword Samehada. From now on, he will be your teammate.

Oh, you can take the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki with you when you go on missions in the future."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he looked at Itachi beside him.

A cold wind blows.

He lifted Itachi's long black hair, and under the bright harbor lights, the young man's deep black pupils showed a trace of surprise, and finally disappeared like ripples caused by a stone falling into the lake.

At this moment, Kisame, the tailless tailed beast, has not gained fame yet.

Itachi didn't know the details of this guy.

But it's about the Nanao Jinchuuriki.

Bai Yu's arrangement naturally meant that he would monitor Kisame, and Itachi knew this very well.

Itachi did not refuse, nodded and said: "I understand."

"That's it, you two chat for a while first, and then you will arrange Kisame's residence. Remember to report the arrangements." Bai Yu smiled, his eyes passing over the faces of these two guys, and then nodded, from

The two of them left with their frozen fingers poking between them.

"Oh, after you two get to know each other, come to the Uchiha Building early for a meeting."

Bai Yu turned his back to the two of them, and after speaking, he used the teleportation technique and disappeared into the night.

After the boy disappeared.

Snowflakes suddenly fell in the dark sky, and it started to snow. Even if this winter was ignited by Kirigakure's war, what finally buried it was the ice and snow that had been melted by the war.

Harbor shore.

"Itachi?" Kisame was the first to question. As he spoke, his mung bean-sized eyes gleamed with murderous intent. He raised his hand to grasp the handle of Samehada's sword, removed Samehada, broke the bandage, and clamped the sword covered with scales on his body.

On Itachi's shoulder, "To be honest, I don't like forming a team. If you delay in executing the mission, no matter who you are, I will kill you with one blow."

"I will also give these words to you."

Itachi said, pulling off the high collar of his robe, and the kaleidoscope rotated in his eyes. In Kisame's shocked eyes, his whole body turned into countless black rags, swaying in the wind, and the surrounding harbor background turned into black and white, like the underworld.

"Illusion?"

Kisame showed shock and checked the chakra veins in his mind, but found nothing abnormal. He had no idea when this guy released the genjutsu on him.

etc……

This guy's eyes.

kaleidoscope!

With the same eyes as the self-proclaimed Uchiha Madara and the young boy Bai Yu, no wonder Bai Yu said that this guy would not hold him back.

After Itachi performed the illusion, the surroundings returned to the previous calm. He disappeared completely under the same sword, distanced himself from Kisame, and his body returned to its original state.

"Hmph..." Kisame's inner expectations were satisfied to the greatest extent, and he raised the corner of his mouth and said coldly: "In this case, let me experience the power of Mangekyo. Don't worry, I will let you attend the meeting soon, but

I can’t guarantee you’ll be unscathed!”

As soon as the words fell.

Kisame formed a seal with one hand, interfering with the majestic amount of chakra in his body to resist genjutsu, clenched his muscles and charged forward, murmuring:

"You probably haven't heard of my story, so let me tell you about it!"

Swish——

The speed of the sword's muscles was so fast that under the harbor lights, there was an icy cold light, as if tearing apart the night. Kisame kept chattering about his experience of performing tasks in Kirigakure.

clang--

Itachi pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and collided with Kisame's Samehada. Each kunai could only withstand a vicious attack like the bite of a great white shark at most.

After the collision, the kunai immediately shattered.

The cold air was filled with firelight.

When Itachi heard the story of Kisame killing his teammates, his emotionless eyes suddenly became confused. He seemed to understand Bai Yu's intention of this arrangement.

This guy……

It turns out to be a reflection of myself.

Swish——

The Great Sword Samehada slashed again, directly tearing Itachi's sleeves which were half a beat slower due to his thoughts during the confrontation. Kisame said excitedly, "If you are distracted, you will die!"

As he spoke, he kept swinging Samehada, and the power of each sword was enough to easily split a jounin.

"Let's see how many kunai you can have!" Kisame enjoyed this kind of unscrupulous hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, there was no delicious blood as the background color, but if he met someone using ordinary ninja tools, he could block his crazy attacks.

The opponent is also a lucky thing.

"The last kunai!" Kisame raised the corners of his mouth crazily, with a ferocious expression. He chopped the last kunai Itachi pulled out of the ninja bag into pieces with one blow, roaring excitedly, "It's over!"

"Water Release: Shark Bullet Technique!!!"

Kisame thrust Samehada vertically into the ground and "Cang——" The floor of the harbor shattered, but under their feet, it turned into a vast ocean of sea water.

Kisame formed a seal with his hands, and a very fast water-escape great white shark circled around Itachi and suddenly hit Itachi head-on.

Itachi stood five meters away, with the kaleidoscope capturing all the details in his eyes. He formed a seal with his hands: "Water Release: Shark Bullet Technique!!!"

Kisame's eyes trembled and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Wow——

A great white shark of the same size as that released by Kisame surged up from in front of Itachi. After colliding with Kisame's great white shark, it exploded and turned into a sea of ​​water, forcing the two of them back.

Just when Itachi landed in the harbor that turned into sea water, Kisame's figure quietly appeared behind him, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and released:

"Water Escape·Water Prison Technique!"

The azure blue water ball directly enveloped Weasel, forming a solid cage.

"You're going to lose!" Kisame stared at Itachi's back and shouted excitedly.

This guy is so strong!

Even his Great Shark Bullet Technique can easily imitate the strength of the master level, which must be beyond the scope of ordinary Sharingan.

During the water prison technique, Itachi turned his head calmly and raised his right hand from a close distance.

Under bright light.

Kisame saw clearly the slender steel ropes bound to the five fingers of Itachi's right hand. Itachi shook hands suddenly, and the steel ropes stiffened. As he manipulated and pulled them, on the sea surface of the harbor, the ten kunai that had been chopped off by Kisame with Samehada's muscles appeared.

, formed kunai rain in the dark sky, and streaked towards Kisame's body.

These broken kunai were bound with steel wires and had tail rings, and they became Itachi's trap from the beginning of the battle.

Poof——

In order to control Itachi, Kisame did not move his body, but chose to dodge sideways.

His limbs and face were scratched with bloody wounds by kunai rain. He knew Itachi was holding back, so kunai didn't throw kunai at his fatal part.

Rope Throwing Technique…

Kisame was not discouraged, because he also had a back-up plan. The same shark that he had originally stretched out on the ground slowly turned into a tailless beast, opened its huge mouth, lurked under the sea water, and bit into it.

In the Water Prison Technique, he frantically absorbs Itachi's chakra through the sea water.

This is his ultimate move!

In the art of water prison.

Itachi spread his hands, feeling that his mental power and physical strength were disappearing. He sighed softly, and finally turned into a ball of bubbles and disappeared into the Water Prison Jutsu.

Kisame was stunned.

This is……

Doppelgänger?

impossible!

Kisame smelled danger.

Turned around suddenly.

I saw that the background that originally seemed to be calm once again changed into black and white, and finally returned to calm.

Itachi dispelled the genjutsu and stood expressionless behind Kisame, pondering, "I just thought about it, you should live next to Zabuza and Haku's room. I'll have a meeting first and contact you tomorrow."

Kisame's small bloodshot pupils quickly looked at Itachi's thick robe, and he was shocked to find that the sleeves that had been chopped and broken by Samehada were actually unscathed.

"This is impossible. The one who just fought with me was...?" Kisame stepped away from the water at his feet, with a look of disbelief on his face, retracted his muscles, and asked loudly.

"My shadow clone."

After Itachi finished speaking, the kaleidoscope faded away, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Kisame was left alone in the cold wind.

I fought for a long time.

Have you been fighting shadow clones?

…

…

Uchiha Building.

Yanying Office.

Bai Yu stood in front of the familiar floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Uchiha Ninja Village in the Kingdom of Tea, which had returned to silence. He couldn't help but sigh. The terrain damaged by the previous battle had been repaired.

The repair efficiency is only possible at this speed based on the huge wealth Bai Yu has accumulated.

otherwise……

When Bai Yu comes back today, there is a high probability that he can still see the tragic battlefield.

"Is it really okay to let those two guys fight in A mustard port?" Shisui, who was sorting out documents, asked.

He was afraid that one of Kisame and Itachi would lose control and directly release their special ninjutsu, destroying Akutsu Port.

"They both have a sense of proportion."

Bai Yu said, smiled, and sat on the still comfortable Yanying office chair that he hadn't sat in for a long time. He looked at the Uchiha elders and senior officials of the Kingdom of Tea who were divided into two sides below.

The group of elders is currently assisting Shisui in sorting out the key events that have happened inside and outside Uchiha in the past half month.

"Sir, the Ninja School started again one week after the war, and the study progress was not delayed. The people who died in the Ninja Village this time were all Uchiha ninjas. The Uzumaki clan and the Takigakure clan did not sacrifice."

Fugaku looked grave and explained the key points one by one.

After Bai Yu nodded, he asked: "By the way, various assessment venues can be established on Naki Island. If we hold Chunin assessments in the future, they can also be used."

"Okay!" Fugaku took out a small notebook and wrote down the things.

"The remaining ninjas of the Uchiha... will be responsible for handling the internal affairs of the ninja village from now on. Unless they have no choice, they can no longer go to the battlefield. Uchiha ninjas who use the resurrection puppet technique will all be given heavy compensation."

"Yes!" All the elders responded in agreement.

Dong dong dong——

"I am coming."

There was a knock on the door by Itachi.

"Come in!" Bai Yu said calmly.

Itachi walked into the conference hall, found a seat at the back, and sat down silently.

Before coming, Itachi asked someone to take Kisame to pick out a house near Zabuza and Haku's home.

Bai Yu glanced at everyone. Fugaku, the elder group, Uzumaki Chiharu, Shibuki, Itachi, Wasabi Jirocho, Qiu Huimei, Izumi... and other core members were sitting at attention.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work." Bai Yu sighed softly with a calm expression.

Everyone fell silent.

Uzumaki Chiharu and Shibuki looked at each other, both of them looked embarrassed. This battle between Uchiha could be described as a bloody battle, and the two clans were providing insignificant amounts of money behind their backs.

"I think you all should be curious as to why Kirigakure's Terumi Mei came back with us." Bai Yu skipped the sensational part and went directly to the topic.

Fugaku nodded.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a good sign.

It shows that their shadow is on another front, and the harvest is not small. They even brought back the opponent's big shots. Needless to say many things.

Bai Yu's eyes were calm and he spoke:

"Everyone should be able to guess the reason."

"There is chaos within Kirigakure."

"The Kirigakure Hawks have now been defeated, and the interior of the Kingdom of Water has become our hinterland after Shisui and I organized it!"

Wow——

Everyone looked at each other, especially the Uchiha core elders headed by Fugaku, who burst into tears. They all wanted to hug each other and vent their depression.

Chiharu Uzumaki said in disbelief: "This...sir, is this really true?"

Shimu's pupils kept trembling.

If this is true.

That means that Uchiha has successfully stepped on Kirigakure of the Water Country and become one of the five major ninja countries and one of the five major ninja villages. Uzumaki and Takigakure have become the core family of one of the five major ninja villages.

"Yes." Bai Yu continued: "And Terumi Mei is our biggest gain this time. She has now become the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

Wow——

The conference hall was once again filled with excitement.

Fugaku clenched his fists.

They Uchiha, in just half a year, had two tailed beasts, two!

This kind of strength.

It has secured its position as one of the five great ninja villages.

"So, we need to trouble the Uzumaki clan to design a tailed beast Jinchūriki sealing formation for Kirigakure, the fifth generation Mizukage." Bai Yu looked at Uzumaki Chiharu.

The old woman was very excited and said: "This is our responsibility, please don't worry!"

"As for Uchiha's future development plan and the details, we will discuss it tonight, so I will trouble you to work overtime for one night."

"It should!"

"It should!"

The atmosphere in the whole office suddenly became lively.
