Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 398 Return to the Iron Country

393 chapter

"The family secret technique of the Thousand Hands Clan?"

Itachi also seemed a little surprised at the moment. Although he was a little surprised by the water escape ninjutsu used by the commoner boy from the Iron Country, he never thought that he would be connected with the Senshou clan who had disappeared in Konoha for many years.

But in this way, it can also explain why even Itachi doesn't know this water escape ninjutsu.

As one of the two most powerful ninja families in the Warring States Period, members of the Qianshou clan are best at ninjutsu of earth escape and water escape.

And Thousand Hands has disappeared for so many years, and many secret techniques have been lost.

Therefore, there are very few ninjas who can recognize and use these techniques in today's ninja world.

However, in Konoha, there should be records about these secret techniques.

Tianzang inherited the wood escape secrets from the first generation of Hokage, and has undergone special training. These secrets should have been given to him by a high-ranking member of Konoha.

Minato is Hokage, and it is not surprising to have seen the records of these secret arts.

"If you say so, that boy"

Itachi looked at Minato with a little surprise on his surprised face.

Finding out the source of the water escape ninjutsu is not the point of this matter.

Why does a commoner boy from the Iron Country have a ninjutsu scroll that records the secret art of the Thousand Hands Clan!

"Do you suspect that the young man is a descendant of the Qianshou clan?"

Minato also had doubts in his eyes, but for now, this is the most intuitive guess.

This was indeed Itachi's first reaction, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about why the members of the Thousand Hands chose to stay in the Iron Kingdom, just from the boy's reaction when he saw me." Judging from it, he should be seeing a real ninja for the first time."

The Senju Clan used to be the strongest ninja family, even Uchiha was slightly inferior.

Even if they choose to live in seclusion and the family declines, it will not reach the point where there are no ninjas in the family.

"In this way, it's worth looking into why that boy holds the ninjutsu scroll that records the secret art of the Qianshou family."

Minato said that over the years, he and Itachi have been trying their best to find information about the Thousand Hands.

"Things in the world are really impermanent. It is the most valuable clue we have so far." Minato smiled lightly.

Itachi traveled to many places in the ninja world, but all returned in vain.

No one expected that Itachi led the seventh squad to go out on a mission for the first time, and got a clue by accident.

"Yeah." Itachi nodded.

The two talked in a very soft voice, Minato turned around and looked at Tianzang who was some distance away, and said, "Go back first."

"Yes!"

Tianzang accepted the order and bowed towards the water gate.

For Anbu ninjas, following orders is the most basic criterion, so when Minato finished speaking, he disappeared immediately.

"I'm leaving now for the Land of Iron."

Itachi immediately said, no matter whether the boy is related to the Thousand Hands Clan or not, at least he really holds the ninjutsu scroll of that Clan.

If he followed this clue, he might be able to get the information he had always wanted to know.

Why the Senju Clan suddenly disappeared in the ninja world, and the ancient books of the Senju Clan.

"Then I'll take you there."

Minato nodded, indeed this is a very valuable clue, without further ado.

Itachi has traveled all over the ninja world over the years, and of course he always carries Minato's flying thunder god Kunai with him.

Therefore, in the ninja world, large and small countries, Minato also left the coordinates needed to activate space ninjutsu, all of which are prepared for today's situation.

"Oh!"

He formed a cross mark with both hands, and separated a shadow clone.

The shadow clone stretched out its palm and put it on Itachi's shoulder, and its perception extended to the northeast of the Land of Fire.

Swish!
After about a few seconds, the shadow clone and Itachi disappeared instantly.

Country of Iron, at the foot of a mountain.

At the beginning, Minato printed the logo in the crevices of the mountain.

After moving here, next to Itachi, the shadow clone of Minato disappeared directly.

Itachi also immediately locked the direction, and first headed towards the fault area where he met the boy.

After more than an hour, Itachi arrived at the destination.

"It seems that the child doesn't come here often."

When he left last time, Itachi didn't take a close look at the surrounding environment. Although the raised part of the fault did have traces left after being washed by the water escape ninjutsu, it was not obvious.

This shows that teenagers don't often come here to practice ninjutsu.

But the place where he lives should not be too far from here.

Although the boy has not weak chakra, he has not received systematic ninja training, so his feet are limited.

In this case, the radius of the area that needs to be searched is not particularly large.

But Itachi still sat down where he was, holding his breath and concentrating.

Gradually, blue and white patterns appeared on his face.

"Oh!"

After entering the fairy mode, Itachi quickly stood up and made seals, and separated into three shadow clones.

Swish swish!
Immediately afterwards, Itachi's body and his three shadow clones flew out in four directions: east, south, west, and north.

The range of perception in the fairy mode is extremely large, and fortunately Itachi recorded the chakra fluctuations of the boy that day.

About ten minutes later.

In Itachi's mind, which was exploring to the west, a burst of information suddenly appeared.

"found it"

Itachi murmured, the information was sent back to the main body after the shadow clone was released.

His shadow clone has already sensed the chakra fluctuations of that boy.

Just as Itachi thought, the boy's position at this time is only a few kilometers away from the fault area.

And although his shadow clone directly dispelled the spell in order to pass the message to the main body, before that, he had already used psychic skills, using crows to stare at the boy, preventing the boy from leaving again before the main body arrived.

For ferrets, the distance of several kilometers can be reached in one or two minutes.

"Crash!"

There are waterfalls pouring down the mountain stream tens of meters high, and the crisp sound of running water keeps echoing.

At the edge of the woods near the mountain stream, several crows perched on the branches, watching closely the boy's every move.

"Bang bang!"

Suddenly, the crow turned into light smoke and disappeared, replaced by the weasel who had just arrived.

The teenager's vigilance was very low, and he didn't notice the sound when the psychic spell was released.

But yes, at this time he was standing at the drop of the waterfall, and the sound of running water was so loud, it was impossible for the young man's hearing to catch the sound that was still some distance away.

Itachi stared at the boy he met in the Iron Country two days ago, and at this time the latter was vaguely changing the seal in his hand.

The seal fell, and the water beside the boy only slightly undulated.

"I'm practicing other water escape ninjutsu."

This time, Itachi saw clearly the whole process of the boy's sealing.

Although he observed that it was some kind of water escape seal, he still couldn't name the combination of those seals.
