Konoha's Infinite Clone

"here it is……"

Itachi slowly woke up from his coma. He felt a little pain in his head, and then his eyes seemed to have flames burning, making Itachi feel that there was a steady stream of power flowing out of them.

But now he didn't bother to check the changes in his body, but looked around.

This is a rather simple room that does not look like a prison.

Wasn't he arrested?

Thinking back to it, the last scene in his memory was when the man in the Uzumaki Mask took Izumo Gastrodia away. After that, he felt a surge of power, and he couldn't remember what happened after that.

Could it be...

He walked to the mirror in two steps, and then used his Sharingan...

"Three magatama..."

Itachi murmured.

Before, he had only one magatama sharingan, but at this moment, he directly transitioned to double magatama and became three magatama sharingan. This is really incredible.

No wonder he fainted. With his current body and spirit, he couldn't bear the pressure brought by the three Magatama Sharingan, so he hurriedly withdrew the Sharingan.

No wonder he was unconscious for so long...

At that time, Orochimaru once saw a pair of Magatama Sharingan eyes in Itachi's eyes. That was precisely because Itachi's chakra transformation had not stopped and his pupil power was still increasing.

"But where exactly is this place, and where did that guy take Gastrodia?"

Now that he thought about it, he was still a little scared. That guy was too weird. He just touched Gastrodia lightly and made it disappear. Even the Sharingan couldn't detect what the other person did.

Was he caught? Or was he rescued?

He knew that behind the daimyo's motorcade there was a group of Konoha ANBU secretly guarding him. After all, how could the daimyo's safety be entirely entrusted to a jounin and his three students?

Could it be that they rushed over and rescued him?

Itachi was about to open the door to take a look, but found that the door was already open.

A white-haired man wearing a white robe and a bandage wrapped around his face came in from the outside. He was a little surprised when he saw Itachi waking up, and he spoke first.

"It's a pity that we missed it by just a few minutes. The Hokage just left."

Hokage-sama?!

Itachi was shocked. Did the Hokage save him?

He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Excuse me, where is this place, and who are you...?"

Of course Itachi would not let down his guard just because of a word from Beiruhu. After all, he had never seen this person before when he was in Konoha.

"Haha, my name is Zero, and I am the bodyguard directly under the Hokage-sama."

Although calling Orochimaru Hokage-sama is a bit disgusting, acting in front of Itachi always requires full performance.

"This is our usual base. On the way here, Hokage-sama saw the Uzumaki Mask man trying to attack the Daimyo's convoy, so he hurried over and happened to bring you back."

"If you are worried..."

Bei Liuhu pondered for a moment, then bent down and clapped one hand down, and suddenly a snake appeared in front of Itachi.

"This is the psychic beast left by Lord Hokage. You can tell the authenticity at a glance."

Itachi knew in his heart that this psychic beast was indeed the big snake from Ryūchi Cave, one of the three holy places, so he was 70% convinced, nodded and said, "That's it..."

"It's just that I have never heard in the village that Hokage-sama has bodyguards other than ANBU."

"Of course."

Beilihu secretly said that he was waiting for you to ask this question, but his face did not show anything, but smiled and said, "We are the shadows hidden in the mask. We are the blades that directly belong to Hokage-sama. Except for Hokage-sama, we are the shadows hidden in the mask."

Other than that, no one in the village is aware of our existence."

"Ah?" Itachi was startled and opened his mouth slightly, "But now I..."

"Yes, since Hokage-sama has brought you to us, it proves that Hokage-sama is optimistic about your potential and wants to train you to become one of our members."

Beiruhu said in a deep voice, "I think you should be from the Uchiha clan. Being able to open the three Magatama Sharingan at this age is indeed a unique genius. No wonder the Hokage values ​​​​it so much."

"Can I?"

Itachi was hesitant. He knew that he was from the Uchiha clan, and not everyone in the village's upper echelons chose to accept Uchiha, and this organization was so hidden. What if someone objected?

"Of course." As if he guessed what Itachi was thinking, Iruhu shrugged, "I said, we only obey the orders of Hokage-sama. The others, even Tsunade, Jiraiya-sama, Mito Kadeni

There is no need to obey Xiaochun’s order to sleep with you.”

"So, if Lord Hokage says you can do it, then you can join our Masked Legion."

Itachi was a little moved. He originally wanted to join the ANBU directly under the Hokage after passing the chunin exams. But now that he had a better choice, how could he not be happy?

"But I'm still just a genin..."

"People who join the Masked Legion never look at their strength." Bei Liuhu smiled sadly, "As long as you can sacrifice yourself, even if you are a pig, we have many ways to make people grow into elites.

Elite.”

"Ah this...?"

Weasel was shocked. Even a pig can grow into the elite of the elite?

Is that too much?

"Haha, come with me."

When they were talking to Orochimaru before, the two of them came up with the idea that Uchiha Itachi should use the Oni Meira Jutsu, but they couldn't use it from the beginning.

The first is to look at his character and make some insinuations first. If he is very resistant to the blood fusion ritual, then forget it.

The second reason is that because Itachi is still too young, Orochimaru is worried that Itachi will not be able to control himself and expose Onigaura's technique. Then Danzo and others will definitely guess that he released Beiruhu.

Thirdly, Orochimaru also needs to examine what kind of person Itachi is. If he is indecisive and cannot be used, then he will be kicked out directly.

Talent alone is definitely not enough in Orochimaru's eyes.

Of all the strong men in the ninja world, who doesn’t have a heart as solid as a rock?

"where is this place?"

Beiruhu brought Itachi to the first-level laboratory of Kiyaro, where he cultivated Kiyaro and performed the fusion ritual of combining psychic beasts.

This fusion ritual was originally a by-product of the Bloodstain Fusion Ceremony. He used this technique to fuse Asura Unicorn and the Fourth Raikage.

The sudden increase in strength after the fusion is also extremely terrifying. Although it is not as good as his final blood-stained fusion, it is still very impressive.

Beilihu decided to observe Itachi through this fusion between humans and beasts to see if he was qualified to join this masked army.

…………………………

Not long after Orochimaru returned to Konoha, he received the news from Kakashi and the others. The disappearance of Uchiha Itachi was not a trivial matter, at least Fugaku would never give up easily.

Orochimaru also knew this, but if Uchiha Itachi could pass his test, it would definitely be a great help to him, so he was not prepared to tell Fugaku the news and release Itachi.

He first hid it for two days to delay, and then went to the Uchiha station to inform Fugaku in person, informed him of the matter, and gave Fugaku permission to go out, so that he could personally find his son.

Fugaku also knew that Orochimaru was shrinking Konoha's combat power. It was very rare for him to be allowed to go out under such circumstances.

Judging from the appearance described by the survivor, the person who captured Itachi was most likely A Fei from the Akatsuki organization. Being targeted by such a dangerous person, Itachi would most likely be in danger.

But as a father, he will not give up as long as there is still a glimmer of hope!

So I didn't ask for anything more, I just reported at home and went out.

After that, Orochimaru no longer had the energy to pay attention to Uchiha's situation, because what he had to do next was related to the future of the entire ninja world!

The third Five Shadows Conference!

Who would have thought that the first Five Shadows Conference and the second Five Shadows Conference were separated by decades, while the third and second Five Shadows Conference were only separated by just over a year?

Things in the world are so erratic, and more changes have occurred in just two years than in the past thousands of years combined.

The frequent communication among the Five Shadows is nothing in these changes.

And as Orochimaru said before, he has already submitted invitations to the other four great ninja villages, and counting the time, they should arrive in the next few days.

Compared with the last Five Shadows Conference, three of the five people have changed this time.

Except for the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village and the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village who remained unchanged, the other three, Raikage, Hokage, and Mizukage all changed.

The Raikage has been confirmed to be Kirabi, the Hokage has been passed from the third generation to the fifth generation, and the Mizukage is the new three-tailed jinchuriki Gotachibana Yagura.

Compared with the previous generation, the Five Shadows this time are even more powerful!

I still remember that during the last Five Shadows Conference, Emperor Shakten caused trouble, but this time Naoto didn't think of tormenting them, let them hold a good one.

"That's basically the situation."

Orochimaru first explained the previous attack of the Ten Blades, and then analyzed the interests between them and the impact that Konoha would have on the ninja world if it was forced to do so.

"If you want to deal with Aizen and his Arrancar Legion, it's not enough for the Konoha family alone. Since he wants to destroy this world, why don't people in this world unite to fight him?"

"What the Hokage said makes sense, but as you said before, K found the alien space where Aizen is, and needs to send some ninjas to Hueco Mundo to attract Aizen's attention, so who should be the candidate?

"

After Onoki finished speaking, he attracted everyone's attention.

Because they all know that this mission to Aizen's base camp is a life-or-death mission!

Who would Orochimaru want to go?

You must know that the person who goes there must not be too weak, otherwise it will not be necessary to attract Aizen's attention, and it may even cause Aizen to notice a slight abnormality and be alert in advance.

"Konoha is Aizen's target, so we will naturally send out the main candidates." Orochimaru took a deep breath. "For us, this mission is not only to distract Aizen so that he can move Konoha, but also to rescue Tsuna."

Hands, Jiraiya and I, along with Tsunade, are among the three ninjas..."

"So...it is of course our duty to attack this time."

In everyone's surprised eyes, Orochimaru said calmly, "In addition, Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan, will also go with us."

"So, what do you mean...?"

Orochimaru's voice gradually became colder, and this was considered a cruel trick.

You must know that Konoha has risked even the Hokage, so if they don't express something, it can't be justified, right?

I definitely can't go together, and the second-in-command can't take risks, but I can't send too ordinary people, otherwise how will Konoha treat them?

You must know that they even sent out masters such as Hokage and Jiraiya, as well as the leader of the Uchiha clan, a man with the Mangekyō Sharingan!

If they just send some chuunin and ordinary jounin, how can they do anything?

At this critical moment, there must be no more internal strife!

But they didn't know that Orochimaru was full of self-confidence.

His technique of immortal reincarnation has been completed. Even if something unexpected happens, he can be resurrected through other people who are engraved with the curse seal of heaven.

The other two candidates were also very helpless.

After hearing that Tsunade was captured, Jiraiya felt very regretful. He felt that it was because of his absence that Aizen had caught this loophole.

Moreover, Tsunade and he were close friends. Both emotionally and rationally, he could never let Tsunade be captured by Aizen, so after he heard that Orochimaru had a way to enter Hueco Mundo, he must join this former team.

The team going to Hueco Mundo.

As for Fugaku, it's even more bizarre.

He had been looking for Itachi's fate, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find it.

After all, Jiraiya had been searching for the location of the Akatsuki organization for more than a year but could not find it. How could he find it so casually?

So he thought of some previous information...

According to the intelligence, A Fei seems to be cooperating with Aizen?

Could it be that the mysterious guy who calls himself "Madara Uchiha" sent Itachi to Aizen?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became. After all, if Aizen could capture Tsunade, then he could also capture Itachi...

Although he didn’t know what purpose he had in catching Weasel, this was his only clue!

Therefore, he made up his mind to go to Hueco Mundo to explore, even if it might cost him his life...

Just for the sake of his own son, so what if the risk is high?!

What's more, Uchiha Fugaku doesn't have no trump cards.

His Mangekyou Sharingan can completely transform him into another person. If nothing can be done, he will break out, then secretly kill a Daxong and transform into the other person's appearance.

He believed that even Aizen might not be able to see through his own Mangekyō Eye Technique. When the time comes, he could follow Aizen to attack Konoha and return to Konoha from that black cavity.

Orochimaru also didn't expect that after he unintentionally captured an Itachi as his subordinate, he would actually have a master like Fugaku in his team going to Hueco Mundo...
