On the night of genocide, it would be reasonable to annihilate the Shimura clan.

Chapter 423 Care

Shengshu's eyes widened and he said, "Really, really?"

Uchiha Itachi sighed and said seriously: "You should know who our target is this time. That person is a genius recognized by the entire ninja world!"

"The ninjutsu and secret techniques he brought this time are super powerful. We must get this!"

Naoshu said in surprise: "Brother Itachi, do you know who the other party is?"

"Haha, I once studied in Konoha for a period of time and know some information about Konoha." Uchiha Itachi sneered: "It is said that he has the blood of 'Nine-Tails'!"

"Nine-tails?" Nao Shu was surprised: "Isn't that the source of Wood Release?"

Uchiha Itachi said solemnly: "Yes, he inherited the bloodline of the Nine-Tails."

"If this generation of Uchiha hadn't been exterminated, I'm afraid Konoha would have risen to become the overlord of the ninja world, right?"

"I remember that Kyuubi is a disaster!"

Naoki said in surprise: "Brother Itachi, no wonder you have always been determined to get this inheritance, but it actually involves the Nine-Tails!"

"However, even so, we still can't resist each other!"

"Have you forgotten that there is a group of people standing behind us?" Itachi Uchiha snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Naoshu immediately reacted and shouted excitedly: "How could I almost forget about them! Once they come out of the mountain, they will definitely destroy Iwagakure Village easily!"

Uchiha Itachi smiled and said: "So, our opportunity has come!"

"We have to get rid of those guys behind us quickly."

"Then find a safe place to recuperate!"

…

…

mid-air.

"Chief! Do we really let those two brats leave like this?" asked a burly Iwa ninja with bronze skin and short hair.

Onoki Tsuchikage, one of the four generals of Iwagakure Village, said solemnly: "Although those two brats are very strong, their speed is far inferior to us!"

"And they seem to have been seriously injured. They are exhausted from the journey. It won't be long before they are arrested by us!"

"As long as we hold on for a little longer, we can catch them both!"

Among the Iwa Ninja team, there was also a man in black with a withered face. He said in a low voice: "The Iwa Ninja team is too fast!"

"We have been surrounded and must get rid of them as soon as possible!"

Onoki shook his head and said: "No, our speed has increased three times. If we keep going like this, sooner or later we will be caught up by the Iwa Ninja!"

"Besides, this place is too close to Iwagakure and cannot be exposed!"

"Otherwise, we will be in danger!"

Tsuchikage Onoki said: "So, we must find a way to lure them away and not let them enter the forest near Iwagakure Village. Otherwise... the ninjas from Iwagakure Village will definitely come to support them."

"Then, let's trick them into the forest first and use the trees to hinder their progress!"

After Tsuchikage Onoki's words fell, Iwagakure's elite troops dispersed one after another, surrounding Uchiha Itachi and Naoki.

Looking at the dense crowd of rock ninjas around him, Itachi Uchiha frowned and said, "Not good!"

"If this continues..."

He turned his head sharply, stared at the Rope Tree beside him, and said coldly: "Rope Tree, all this happened because of you! So please sacrifice yourself!"

"What do you mean?" Shen Shu asked dully.

The next moment, Uchiha Itachi turned his palm into a knife and thrust it into his shoulder without hesitation!

"Hiss!" He groaned in pain, and blood flowed from his shoulder blades!

"Itachi!!" Nao Shu said in shock.

Uchiha Itachi covered his wound and said with a painful expression: "There is no other way! Rope Tree! We must escape immediately!"

"We won't be able to escape at all if this continues, and only if you die can I escape the pursuit of Iwagakure!"

"Ah!" Rope Tree screamed, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy!" Uchiha Itachi's eyes flashed with madness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the only chance!"

"I want to escape alive, so I have to sacrifice you!"

"Stop being stupid, Rope Tree!"

"We have no choice, jump into the river next to us!"

"If we just swim back to the river bank, we can be saved!"

Shengshu said blankly: "This...isn't this what you said to me before?"

Uchiha Itachi said: "It's not up to you to choose now! Follow my instructions!"

"But...but..."

"Stop it! I don't have much time!" Uchiha Itachi urged anxiously: "Namotoki, if you continue to delay, the Iwa Ninja ninjas will find us, and you will be dead!"

Listening to these words, Rooshu finally compromised!

He gritted his teeth and said: "Itachi, since this is your decision, then... I promise you!"

The rope tree walked slowly towards the river not far away.

"Itachi..." Nao Shu took a deep breath and was about to jump into the river -

Boom! !

Suddenly there was a thunderous noise!

"What's the sound?" Shengshu stopped.

Uchiha Itachi also stopped, he frowned and said: "No! There is an enemy attack!"

"Come on!" Uchiha Itachi pushed the rope tree and asked him to leave.

At this moment——

"boom!!"

A shock wave knocked the rope tree away, and Uchiha Itachi also took a few steps back.

He raised his head in shock and anger, his pupils shrank sharply and he looked ahead, his eyes full of shock as he said, "How is that possible?!"

In his sight, a man wearing a black robe, sunglasses and a mask, with only his mouth exposed, was suspended in mid-air.

This man is more than five meters tall, and his muscles are bulging like a hill, giving people a very oppressive feeling!

His right arm was even more terrifyingly thick, as if it contained explosive power and could tear the air apart at any time.

And his eyes were extremely red, as if he had lost his mind!

Uchiha Itachi's pupils shrank slightly and he looked at the other person in surprise.

Suddenly, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: "Chakra??!!"

"Who are you?" Uchiha Itachi asked in a deep voice.

The chakra that permeates this person is completely different from the enemies I have encountered before, and even the properties of the chakra are completely different!

The person opposite grinned: "Haha, boy, you are very sharp! You actually noticed my existence!"

Hearing this voice, Uchiha Itachi narrowed his eyes: "Are you an ANBU of Konoha?"

"Anbu?"

The man laughed when he heard this, with strong sarcasm in his laughter: "Hahaha!"

"Stupid!"

"You actually think I'm an ANBU of Konoha?"

"I'm a ninja from Sunagakure Village!"

"Have you never heard of the name Sunagakure Village?"

After Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, he said: "Are you a Sandgakure ninja?!"

"hey-hey!"

"You guessed it right!"

The guy stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "I didn't expect that I would personally carry out the mission today!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at him coldly: "Are you the killer sent by Sunagakure?"

"hehe!"

The Sunagakure ninja said indifferently: "After killing you, my mission will be completed!"

"So...boy, go on your way with peace of mind!"

After saying that, the Sunagakure ninja disappeared directly and appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi, carrying the sound of wind with his right fist and hitting him hard!

The speed of this Sunagakure ninja is extremely terrifying, even Uchiha Itachi has no time to react!

boom!

After a muffled sound, Uchiha Itachi was blown away!

On his chest, a scarlet mark appeared.

"Damn it!!" Uchiha Itachi's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that this guy's attack power was so terrifying. The blow just now almost dispersed the chakra in his body!

He knows that the situation is very urgent now, and if they delay any longer, they will be dead!

We must get out of here as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi gave up resistance directly and allowed the opponent to blast him away!

The next moment, a black afterimage flashed across Uchiha Itachi's eyes and headed straight for the rope tree!

"Don't even think about it!!"

Seeing the opponent rushing toward the rope tree, Uchiha Itachi roared angrily. He exerted force on his legs, spun his whole body in the air, and slashed away with swords in both hands!

"Huh?" The Sunagakure ninja showed a joking expression when he saw this. He held the blade of the decapitating sword with one hand and directly blocked Uchiha Itachi's inevitable sword.

Ding! ! !

A harsh sound of collision of gold and iron spread around, and the two of them separated.

"What a powerful force!" Uchiha Itachi looked at the Sunagakure ninja in surprise. Although he had used all his strength, he still couldn't do anything to the opponent.

He could feel that this guy didn't actually use all his strength, but only used half of his combat power.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes twitched, and he looked at the rope tree not far away. He whispered: "We must not let the rope tree fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise... the consequences will be disastrous!"

The light in Uchiha Itachi's eyes soared. He stared at the other party and said, "This is not the way to go!"

"We must find a way to deal with him!!"

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly appeared in Uchiha Itachi's mind!

He seems to have had a good idea!

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing an evil and dangerous smile.

The next moment, he suddenly accelerated and approached the Sunagakure ninja directly!

Uchiha Itachi said with cold eyes: "Your chakra is too weak, you have no right to be rampant in front of me!"

After speaking, the veins on Uchiha Itachi's arms stood out. He used all his strength to infuse chakra into Zangetsu, and suddenly a bright and sharp sword light was directed at the Sunagakure ninja!

"Oh? Do you want a sneak attack?"

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's actions, the Sunagakure ninja had a contemptuous smile on his lips: "What a stupid thing to do!"

"Because I have no intention of defending at all!!"

When he said these words, Uchiha Itachi also felt the chakra fluctuations on his body that suddenly increased several times!

boom! !

A violent impact suddenly resounded!

A frenzied aftermath spread in all directions, blowing off the surrounding woods and turning them into ruins, leaving a deep pit with a diameter of more than three meters!

Rolls of smoke and dust are rising!

Uchiha Itachi's figure staggered backwards in a state of embarrassment, and a horrified look flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that even though the opponent had reached his limit, he still had such terrifying power and even had the power to counter him!

"You..." Uchiha Itachi covered his painful left arm and struggled to stand still, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

On the other side, the smoke gradually subsided.

I saw the Sunagakure ninja standing on the spot unscathed, but his clothes were torn and there was some blood on his cheeks.

However, he looked calm and calm.

Uchiha Itachi's heart sank slightly, he knew that he was in trouble this time.

This guy from Sunagakure Village is very powerful!

"Tsk..." The Sand Village Ninja smacked his lips, shook his head, and said with some regret: "I thought I could test the level of the younger generation of Konoha Village!"

There was a trace of regret on his face: "I didn't expect that I was still a step behind!"

"In that case, let's end the battle!"

"You... damn it!" Uchiha Itachi's face changed, he gritted his teeth and said: "You don't really want to fight me to death?"

"Hehe..." The Sand Village Ninja smiled faintly: "How is it possible!"

"You are much stronger than me, how can I fight you to death?"

"But since too much time has been wasted, let's get rid of you quickly!"

The face of the Sand Village Ninja gradually became ferocious, his aura suddenly surged, and his palms were covered with fine scales!

Swish——

The next moment, his body shot out like a cannonball, at an incredibly fast speed!

"What!?"

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Itachi was shocked inexplicably, because the opponent's aura was even stronger than his!

Bang!

The two men separated after fighting for a moment, and then looked at each other warily, their eyes full of caution.

"Hehe... I didn't expect that in addition to Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and the first generation of Hokage, Konoha Village actually has a genius like you..." The eyes of the Sand Village Ninja flashed, and he stared at Uchiha Itachi and said coldly: "You are worthy of being able to defeat my master!"

Uchiha Itachi frowned and said: "Who are you?"

Hearing this, the Sand Village Ninja was slightly startled, and he raised his mouth slightly and said: "What? It seems that you don't know me?"

He was a little surprised. It stands to reason that freshmen like Uchiha Itachi's age should have heard of him. His reputation should have spread throughout the five major countries!

But now Uchiha Itachi has no news about this, which can only mean that Uchiha Itachi in front of him does not belong to the five major countries. He came from another region!

However, he is more concerned about this matter.

What he cares most about is Uchiha Itachi's identity.

Who is his master? The first Hokage or Senju Hashirama?

If Uchiha Itachi is a relative or disciple of one of these two, even if he is just a close junior, then it will be a great help to Konoha, so the Sand Village Ninja is so interested.

"Sorry, I really don't know your identity." Uchiha Itachi shook his head slightly.

He is not familiar with the intelligence network of Konoha Village. Besides, even if he knows, he will not tell the other party!

The Sand Village Ninja narrowed his eyes, stared at Uchiha Itachi for a long time, and then slowly said: "What's your name?"

"Uchiha Itachi." Uchiha Itachi said indifferently.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

The pupils of the Sand Village Ninja shrank slightly, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Are you a relative of a big shot in Konoha Village? Or are you a young master in a certain family?"
