When enemies meet, their hatred burns hotter. Sasuke's eyes glinted with ferocity as he instantly gathered the Lightning Release Chidori[b]Lightning Release Chidori[/b]. His Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] activated in a flash, and he dashed towards Itachi Uchiha at breakneck speed.
Itachi quickly kicked forward, kicking Sasuke right in the abdomen and sending him flying. The Lightning Release Chidori[b]Lightning Release Chidori[/b] instantly dissipated into nothingness.
Sasuke, who was lying on the ground, slowly sat up. Suddenly, his eyes went blank, and his two eyeballs popped out of their sockets, landing in his palms.
Sasuke held his own pair of eyeballs in his hands, the red - pupils of the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] resting in his palms.
Then, an even more bizarre scene unfolded. Sasuke's limbs gradually detached, and pieces of flesh fell off his body one by one. The whole person turned into a puddle of goo.
"Impossible," Itachi Uchiha couldn't believe it. Sasuke had just taken one kick from him. How could he turn into a puddle of goo?
"Hey, Mr. Itachi, why does that Nine - Tailed Fox brat have the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b]?" Kisame held up his huge weapon and pointed at Naruto, saying, "The intelligence we received never mentioned that the Nine - Tailed Fox has the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b]."
Itachi looked at Naruto and immediately recognized the Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] in Naruto's right eye. It was clearly Shisui Uchiha's eye.
No wonder. It was Shisui's eye. No wonder it could make me fall for a Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b]. Only the eye left by Shisui, the strongest Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] genius of the Uchiha clan, had such power.
"Why do you have Shisui's eye?" Itachi asked coldly, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Naruto smiled and immediately rushed to Sasuke's side with a Kunai[b]Kunai[/b] in his hand, pressing it against Sasuke's neck.
Everyone present was shocked!
Hinata covered her small mouth in surprise.
Kisame was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.
Itachi revealed his face from his high collar and stared fixedly at Naruto.
It turned out that the scene of Sasuke turning into a puddle of goo was actually a Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] cast by Naruto. While Kisame and Itachi were distracted by Sasuke, Naruto directly used the Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] on them.
However, the Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] could only last for a very short time, mainly because Itachi was an expert in Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b], and Kisame's strength was also terrifying. The influence of the Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] was really limited.
Itachi looked at the scene in front of him. Naruto was actually holding Sasuke hostage with a Kunai[b]Kunai[/b]. Was this strange scene reality or a Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b]?
Naruto said, "Itachi! Thanks to that kick of yours, I was able to take Sasuke hostage."
Kisame asked, "Mr. Itachi, what's going on? Are you colluding with the Nine - Tailed Fox?"
"Impossible," Itachi's voice was always cold yet calm.
"Then does that mean we're still under a Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b]?"
"No, this isn't a Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b]."
"Oh!" Kisame said with a smile, "Since the Nine - Tailed Fox isn't on our side and we're not under a Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b], then the Nine - Tailed Fox has betrayed Konoha!"
"No one here will betray Konoha, but Sasuke has to die today." Naruto quickly brought down the Kunai[b]Kunai[/b], stabbing it through Sasuke's body.
Itachi's pupils dilated instantly. He flashed over, his robe with cloud patterns looking extremely elegant.
Itachi Uchiha gave Naruto another kick and sent him flying. Then, he hugged Sasuke in his arms and stared intently at the kunai stuck in Sasuke's body.
"Itachi! What are you up to? You've done a great job on your mission," Naruto said, standing up while enduring the burning pain in his chest after being kicked by Itachi. "Thanks to you, Konoha has gathered a lot of intelligence on the Akatsuki Organization."
Kisame looked at Itachi in shock.
"Not only did you bring back intelligence for us, but you also brought one of the members of the Akatsuki Organization, Kisame. Itachi! You've really done an amazing job!"
Kisame wore an expression of disbelief. He couldn't believe that Itachi would betray the Akatsuki Organization.
"Kisame, surrender," Naruto continued. "You're surrounded by Konoha. You can't escape. Two of the Sannin are already here."
At this moment, Jiraiya and Tsunade appeared simultaneously.
It turned out that when Naruto and Hinata were playing the multi - shadow clone game earlier, they quietly sent their shadow clones out of the window. Those clones were sent to find Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Jiraiya recognized at a glance that the two enemies in front of him were both members of the Akatsuki Organization, and one of them was an acquaintance, Itachi Uchiha.
Itachi Uchiha was born in Konoha Village. He was Sasuke's older brother. However, later Itachi massacred his entire Uchiha clan and defected from Konoha. Since then, he had been wanted and hunted by Konoha, becoming a rogue ninja of Konoha.
Itachi Uchiha noticed that Sasuke had suffered a fatal injury but hadn't died immediately. As long as there was a Medical Ninja around, Sasuke could be rescued.
Itachi Uchiha looked at Tsunade. Currently, Tsunade was the only medical ninja here, and only she could save Sasuke.
"Kisame, let's leave. With two of the Legendary Sannin here today, we probably won't be able to take the Nine - Tailed Fox," Itachi Uchiha just wanted to leave quickly now.
Because Sasuke was on the verge of death. Only if he left with Kisame would Tsunade be able to treat Sasuke, and Sasuke's life could be saved.
"Itachi, don't move Sasuke. Sasuke is about to die. If you move him even a little, Sasuke will be dead," Naruto goaded from the side.
"Sure enough, it's very strange, Mr. Itachi," Kisame said. "It seems that Mr. Itachi still has feelings for his younger brother."
Jiraiya and Tsunade didn't know that Sasuke was injured by Naruto. When they arrived, they only saw Itachi holding Sasuke, and Sasuke was seriously injured with a kunai stuck in him.
"Hey, Mr. Itachi, tell me, are you under a genjutsu or have you betrayed the Akatsuki?" Kisame pointed his great sword, Samehada, at Itachi and angrily demanded an answer.
"Humph," Naruto thought to himself. "This is the Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] I created myself, named Reality[b]Reality[/b]. Reality[b]Reality[/b] is the most terrifying genjutsu. Last night, I learned a lot of human body knowledge from Haku, understood the knowledge of acupuncture points and internal organs, and knew how to inflict a fatal injury on the human body without causing immediate death. Now this knowledge is coming in handy."
Jiraiya said angrily, "Itachi! You've already massacred your entire Uchiha clan. Aren't you even going to spare your last brother?"
Itachi Uchiha placed Sasuke, whom he was holding in his arms, on the ground and gave Tsunade a pleading look, imploring her to come and treat Sasuke right away.
Kisame said, "Mr. Itachi, this is the last time I'll address you like this. If you don't kill Sasuke, I have reason to suspect you're a spy sent by Konoha to the Akatsuki Organization."
"What? Itachi is a Konoha spy?" Jiraiya was extremely shocked. He simply couldn't figure it out. How could someone like Itachi, who massacred his entire family, be a spy sent by Konoha to the Akatsuki Organization? Would anyone believe it if he said it?
Itachi Uchiha let out a deep breath. He knew he had lost, completely defeated by Naruto.
Itachi recalled all of Naruto's actions after he entered the room, each one so full of meaning.
Naruto quietly sent a Shadow Clone[b]Shadow Clone[/b] through the window, then used Genjutsu[b]Genjutsu[/b] to confuse the two of them, and directly stabbed Sasuke through with a Kunai[b]Kunai[/b]. Every step was forcing Itachi to show the love he had hidden deep in his heart for Sasuke.
