Except for Naruto, the other four people present looked at each other, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

Sakura now understands that no matter if it is because of illusion or brainwashing, Naruto's habit of forcing himself to be positive has been deeply rooted in his bones and cannot be easily changed.

"Naruto, in this ninja world, there are nine monsters with huge chakra like the Nine-Tails, and they are called 'tailed beasts'.

People like you who have a tailed beast sealed in their body are called "jinchūriki". For example, Gaara of the Sand Village is the jinchūriki of the one-tailed beast Shukaku.

The Jinchūriki can use the power of the tailed beasts and is an important fighting force for a village.

The Uzumaki clan's huge chakra can suppress the tailed beast's chakra, and their strong physique can resist the erosion of the tailed beast's chakra; it can be said that the Uzumaki clan is a natural jinchūriki.

The Uzumaki bloodline in Karin is purer than yours, and she can be said to be a more suitable candidate to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

In addition, your life experience is always a time bomb. The Konoha high-level officials are afraid that you will retaliate against Konoha after learning your life experience, so it is possible that you will be re-sealed in Karin's body.

The vitality of the Jinchūriki is highly bound to the Tailed Beast. If you lose the Tailed Beast, you will die, and Karin will bear the hatred of the Konoha villagers on your behalf.

This is not a good thing for either you or Karin.

This is one of the reasons why I waited until the third generation passed away before exposing Karin."

Sakura explained to Naruto the relationship between him and the Nine-Tails.

"No way, I won't betray..."

Just as Naruto was about to retort, he was interrupted by Sasuke:

“It doesn’t matter whether you betray or not, we all believe that you won’t betray Konoha;

It's just that in the eyes of the higher-ups, as long as you have the motive to betray Konoha, they will do anything to avoid risks."

Sasuke's words silenced Naruto once again.

Others also fell into deep thought.

"Well, let's move on to the next topic."

Sakura was the first to break the silence.

"This matter is about Sasuke."

When Sasuke heard Sakura mention him, he immediately sat up straight, wanting to hear what Sakura wanted to say next.

When Naruto and Karin heard that it was about Sasuke, they looked at Sakura with curiosity.

"According to my previous speculation, Sasuke's brother Uchiha Itachi may have made some kind of deal with the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo to ensure Sasuke's treatment in Konoha Village.

Now, the news of the Third Hokage's death has probably spread. What will Itachi Uchiha do after hearing the news?"

Different from the way she explained things to Naruto, Sakura was brief in her explanations to Sasuke. She believed that Sasuke would understand immediately.

“He will definitely return to Konoha to personally confirm my living conditions!

At the same time, his appearance is also a disguised threat to the top management, forcing them to fulfill their promises!"

Sasuke's emotions began to become excited, and even his Sharingan was activated unconsciously.

If the facts are really as he speculated, then after five years, Sasuke will once again face his brother and his enemy.

Sasuke clenched his fists and began to think about how he was going to kill his brother...

"Sasuke, I know you're anxious, but don't be hasty."

As soon as Sakura saw Sasuke's expression, she knew that Sasuke must have felt that he was capable again. If he just rushed forward and charged head-on like in the anime, her efforts would have been in vain.

"I know you hate Uchiha Itachi very much now, and you can't wait to rush up and take revenge.

However, you also have to face up to the gap in strength between you and him.

Not to mention how much Uchiha Itachi's strength has improved in the past five years, he already had the strength to assassinate the entire Uchiha clan before leaving the village.

If you seek revenge on him now, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock."

Sakura quickly poured a basin of cold water on Uchiha Itachi.

"Am I going to just watch that man appear in front of me and do nothing?

Xiaoying, I know you must have a plan, what should I do then? "

Sasuke believed that Sakura would not be so cruel to him.

"Sasuke, at this moment you are not a match for Uchiha Itachi. After all, you have just entered the high-speed growth period of a ninja.

I believe in your talent. In a few years you will definitely surpass Uchiha Itachi.

However, it is indeed difficult for you to have no reaction to Uchiha Itachi.

So I won’t stop you from attacking Uchiha Itachi.”

"You just said I was trying to hit a rock with an egg."

Sasuke was also very confused about Sakura's contradictory words.

"I didn't ask you to do it alone. Don't you have us as your companions?"

Sakura patted Sasuke's shoulder and answered his question.

“I know you don’t want us to intervene and want to take revenge yourself.

But I think with Uchiha Itachi's strength, even if our Team 7 tries our best, we may not be his match.

Even if we win, Uchiha Itachi will definitely find a way to escape. All we have to do is to use Yiqi to repel Uchiha Itachi when the time comes.

In this way, you can also have a clear understanding of Uchiha Itachi's strength.

Only by knowing the specific gaps can you know how to fill them and develop targeted strategies.”

"Sakura..."

Sasuke was deeply touched. Only now did he understand that Sakura was sincerely caring about him.

If she hadn't reminded herself, she would have rushed directly to Uchiha Itachi like a headless fly. Doing so would have resulted in nothing except being defeated by Itachi.

Moreover, if he couldn't even put up a decent resistance, there was no way he could test out Uchiha Itachi's true strength; if he couldn't learn from failure, then such failure would be meaningless.

"So, Kakashi-sensei, Uchiha once entered the Anbu. In order to formulate a strategy to defeat Uchiha Itachi, I need to know what ninjutsu Uchiha Itachi is good at."

Sakura stared at Kakashi intently.

Although Sakura felt that she should know Uchiha Itachi's trump card better than Kakashi and Sasuke, after all, those were Li Ying's memories. Not to mention whether they were accurate or not, just saying them out without any context would arouse suspicion.

"Itachi?"

Kakashi thought for a while and said:

"His talent is extremely terrifying. Whether it is ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, or the use of ninja tools and tactical arrangements, he has reached the level of an elite jonin. It can be said that he is a perfect ninja who can handle any job."

Kakashi's words made Sasuke feel desperate. He only knew that Itachi was very strong, but he didn't expect that Uchiha Itachi had already reached a level that was not inferior to the elite Jonin at the age of 13.

"Does that man really have no weaknesses?"

Sasuke asked unwillingly.

"No, if I had to find fault with him and point out his weakness, it would probably be his average physique.

His physical fitness is only average among his peers, and he is not good at long-term physical combat.

However, his excellent physical skills make up for this; he often chooses to fight cautiously only when he needs to deal a fatal blow to the enemy. "

Kakashi said truthfully, he knew his words might hit Sasuke, but if Sasuke couldn't understand Itachi's true strength, Sasuke's situation would be even more dangerous.

“Well, this is all expected.

A ninja who can make Konoha's top leaders wary of him cannot have any obvious weaknesses. Even if he has weaknesses, he will find a way to make up for them.

However, Mr. Kakashi, even if he has no weaknesses, Uchiha Itachi must have his own way of fighting.

Even an all-round ninja must have his best ability, and the ninja's combat strategy must be centered around his strongest point.

Just like you, teacher, even if you have the Sharingan, in most cases, the core of your combat style will only revolve around how to use Raikiri to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

As long as we know Uchiha Itachi's combat habits, we can formulate tactics based on his habits."

Sakura then confirmed with Kakashi.

Kakashi was also shocked when he heard what Sakura said. As a veteran, he knew the truth of Sakura's words.

But in the past, when Kakashi formulated tactics, he was more focused on the ninjutsu that he was good at, or thinking about how to crack the enemy's signature ninjutsu; he never thought about how to formulate tactics around the enemy's habits.

“If I were to say what I am best at, it would definitely be illusion.

Uchiha Itachi's illusions are not only of high quality, but also hard to guard against.

Not only can he use the Sharingan to instantly cast simple illusions, he can also make hand seals in advance and choose the time to cast more complex illusions.

However, Sasuke and I already have the triple-magatama Sharingan, so as long as we pay attention, we shouldn't be controlled by the illusion.

However, Sakura, you have to be careful, Uchiha Itachi's illusion is not something you can deal with.

Although you are also good at illusions, your illusions should not work on Uchiha Itachi."

After a while of analysis, Kakashi kindly reminded Sakura.

“No, that man’s Sharingan is different from our three magatama.

When he used the illusion on me that night, the image in his Sharingan was not a magatama, but a curved three-blade windmill."

Sasuke added that he had recalled Uchiha Itachi's strange Mangekyō Sharingan after Sakura broke the illusion that Uchiha Itachi had left in his memory.

"If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome..."

Kakashi's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"If what Sasuke said is true, then Uchiha Itachi is very likely to have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Mangekyō Sharingan can be used to materialize the door. Even in the long-standing Uchiha clan, only a few geniuses can awaken it. "

At this time, Kakashi didn't know that he had already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he couldn't help but feel extremely wary of Itachi, who was very likely to have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Sasuke was also stunned after hearing what Kakashi said. He didn't expect that even his Sharingan was so far behind Itachi.

"I understand the general situation. From now on, we need to formulate a feasible battle plan."

Sakura actually had a plan for Uchiha Itachi's arrival, so she didn't feel disappointed or frustrated.

Just like that, the members of Team 7 began to discuss strategies to deal with Uchiha Itachi.
