Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon
Chapter 87 Homecoming in the Morning Mist
On the outskirts of Konoha, two mysterious men wearing conical hats and black robes with red clouds were slowly walking towards the Konoha Village.
Although the two's actions were very suspicious, in this world full of ninjas and countless strange people who believed in mysticism, their actions were not too conspicuous.
"Mr. Itachi, how do you feel now that you have seen your hometown again after such a long absence?"
"That's all in the past."
Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame looked out at the Konoha Village which was being rebuilt in an orderly manner.
“It’s really a peaceful village.”
Looking at the peaceful scene of Konoha Village, which was completely different from Kirigakure, Kisame was inspired.
"I heard that Mr. Itachi has a younger brother. I wonder if we can meet him this time."
"Kisame, you've talked too much today."
When Uchiha Itachi heard Kisame mention Sasuke, he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't think about it too much and quickened his pace.
"Mr. Itachi is really strict."
Seeing this, Kisame quickened his pace and caught up with Uchiha Itachi.
Kisame has a heartfelt respect for Itachi, who works in the same group with him.
He slaughtered his entire family over a disagreement. Even Kisame, who could execute his companions without hesitation for the sake of the village, couldn't do that.
Uchiha Itachi's magnanimity made even the self-righteous Kisame feel ashamed of himself.
"Ok?"
Uchiha Itachi, who was walking on the road, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Itachi-san?"
Kisame also stopped like Itachi, and placed his right hand on the hilt of Samehada's sword. He knew very well that Uchiha Itachi would not attack without a purpose, and he immediately prepared to fight at any time.
"Kisame, we've been discovered."
Itachi's tone was very calm, but his inner vigilance was heightened.
Just now, Itachi suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if he was being spied on, and as he moved, the feeling of being spied on not only did not weaken, but became more and more intense.
With his keen senses, he immediately realized that he had been discovered by Konoha.
Uchiha Itachi didn't expect that after such a long period of peace, Konoha's defense was even stronger than when he left.
Could it be that because of Orochimaru's attack, Konoha's top leaders learned from their mistakes and strengthened the village's security?
Just as Uchiha Itachi was trying to deduce the reason for the strengthened defense, an unexpected lazy voice was heard.
"Long time no see, Uchiha Itachi.
You are so energetic, did something good happen?"
A white-haired ninja with 3/4 of his face covered blocked the way for Itachi and Kisame.
"Kakashi, you're still as sharp as ever."
When Itachi saw that his identity had been recognized, he took the initiative to reveal his identity, took off the veiled hat, and revealed his true face.
"Are you the Copy Ninja Kakashi?
I heard that Zabuza suffered a great loss at your hands a while ago, I don't know if it's true or not, let me test your quality."
Kisame also threw his hat aside and took off the tightly bandaged Samehada on his back. His small round eyes revealed a hint of ferocity and cruelty.
The Akatsuki organization is still in the stage of accumulating funds, and Kisame has not encountered a decent opponent for a long time. At this moment, Kisame can't wait to have a life-and-death battle with Kakashi.
"It's two against one, but there is no fairness in the ninja world."
Kisame swung Samehada without hesitation and attacked Kakashi; under the swift and fierce attack, the bandages wrapped around Samehada were also blown by the squeezed air, making a rustling sound.
However, just when Samehada was about to hit Kakashi, he encountered an unexpected obstruction; a figure quickly appeared in front of Kakashi and blocked Kisame's attack for him.
"You're right. There is no fairness in the ninja world, so don't blame us for being outnumbered three to two."
Asuma Sarutobi held a cigarette in his mouth and stared at Kisame in front of him.
Next to Asuma was Yuhi Kurenai, with whom he had made an appointment to go shopping.
"Uchiha Itachi, after doing something like that, you still dare to show up in Konoha so brazenly."
As Yuhi Kurenai said this, she also took out a kunai and prepared to meet the enemy.
"Oh, you're a couple so early, have you officially started dating?"
Kakashi looked at the two people who came together and couldn't help but joked.
"We just went out to buy things together."
As a girl, Kurenai Yuhi is rather thin-skinned and can't stand Kakashi's teasing at all.
But her blushing cheeks had indeed already exposed their relationship.
"Well, let's focus on dealing with the enemy in front of us."
Asuma interrupted the conversation between Hong and Kakashi in time.
When Yuhi Kurenai heard Asuma's words, she remembered that she was still in the battle, and immediately began to form seals quickly with her hands.
Kakashi was about to stop Kurenai Yuhi, but it was too late. Kurenai Yuhi had already successfully launched the illusion.
Just two days ago, Kakashi discussed with Sakura that when encountering Uchiha Itachi, they should never use illusions, as this would be a pure waste of chakra.
“Red beat Uchiha Itachi, is this true?!
It seems that women in love really have zero IQ, and "Intimate Paradise" really does not deceive me."
Thinking of this, Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing who to report his teammate's behavior of giving away kills.
The result was exactly as Kakashi expected.
"Magic Tree Binding Technique."
The voice of Kurenai Yuhi reached Uchiha Itachi's ears, but in Uchiha Itachi's perspective, Kurenai Yuhi's figure was slowly disappearing, completely blending into the thinning morning mist.
The next moment, Uchiha Itachi felt that he had entered an illusion. His body was being tightly bound by a powerful force. Looking down, he saw that it was a big tree that tied him up. The thick branches climbed up his body like snakes, making him unable to move at all.
At the same time, Kurenai Yuhi's figure slowly emerged from the tree trunk, holding a kunai, as if to attack Uchiha Itachi; but Uchiha Itachi's face did not show the slightest panic, in his Sharingan, three magatama were slowly rotating, emitting a breathtaking blood-red light.
The magic mirror of the world is turning, start!
Uchiha Itachi muttered to himself.
This special illusion skill not only allows him to break free from the constraints of illusion instantly, but also can bounce the illusion he is subjected to back to the enemy.
As Uchiha Itachi glared at Kurenai Yuhi fiercely, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly felt dizzy and the scene in front of her became blurred.
When she regained consciousness, she was shocked to find that she was trapped in the tree-binding restraints, and Uchiha Itachi, who was supposed to be bound, was looking at her coldly, his red eyes without a trace of warmth exuding a dangerous aura.
"Genjutsu Shiranui!"
As Itachi's Sharingan glared at Kurenai again, Kurenai, who was about to bite her lips to break the tree binding, found that her consciousness had left the real world and fell into the world of illusion.
In this gloomy fantasy, Yuhi Kurenai's body became thinner and thinner, and finally turned into a paper doll of a shikigami as thin as a cicada's wing; she felt that she had lost control of her body and could only drift with the wind; what was worse was that a scorching flame began to spread from her limbs, gradually engulfing her entire body.
"Well--"
Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but moan. She tried to struggle, but was powerless.
Although Hong knew that this was just an illusion by Uchiha Itachi, the pain from the burning body was so real that she could not bear it. She even felt that every breath she took was accompanied by a burning breath. The burning pain gradually broke her will...
Outside the illusion, Kakashi watched Kurenai Yuhi slowly fall down due to the damage to her mental strength.
Kakashi didn't expect that he didn't pay attention at all, and Kurenai Yuhi was killed instantly by Itachi, without even giving him a chance to break the illusion.
Uchiha Itachi did not show mercy to Kurenai Yuhi like in the animation, because he had already noticed that someone was heading this way. If the reinforcements that came were also elite jonin, things would become quite tricky, so a quick battle must be fought here.
"Kisame, someone is coming, let's finish this quickly!"
In order to avoid any further complications, Itachi immediately gave orders to Kisame.
Kisame, who was in the middle of a fierce swordsmanship battle with Asuma, frowned when he heard this. He gave up the idea of playing around and directly activated the ability of Samehada, absorbing the wind-attribute chakra on Asuma's fist blade that was resisting Samehada.
"what!"
Asuma watched as Samehada broke through his defense and slashed towards his right shoulder because of his chakra being absorbed.
Fortunately, Asuma had rich combat experience, and before he was hit, he knelt on one knee on the water. Because of the change in his center of gravity, Samehada had not yet chopped him down, so he crossed the fist blades on both hands and directly blocked Samehada with the fist blades themselves.
"That's a good reaction, but my Samehada isn't meant for chopping..."
Kisame praised Asuma, then curled his lips and revealed a cruel smile with his sharp teeth.
"It's a cut!"
Kisame's body suddenly retreated violently, and the Samehada that was pressing against Asuma's right shoulder also quickly withdrew with his movement; under the loose bandage of Samehada, the sharp scales like shark teeth were clearly revealed, instantly taking away a large piece of flesh and blood on Asuma's shoulder.
"Uh--"
Asma only felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and his blood splattered in the air, with a faint smell of rust.
"I'm sorry, Kakashi-senpai, I don't have time to reminisce now."
Uchiha Itachi said indifferently, and then he rushed towards Kakashi without hesitation; more than a dozen shurikens also turned and flew towards Kakashi.
Seeing this, Kakashi immediately used the instant body technique, and in a flash, he appeared behind Uchiha Itachi.
He thrust the kunai in his hand into Uchiha Itachi's back without hesitation -
"Pfft!"
As the sound of metal entering flesh was heard, there was no doubt that Kakashi's attack had hit the target.
But Uchiha Itachi did not react at all, and even his breathing showed no signs of disorder, as if the attack had no effect on him.
"not good!"
Kakashi thought to himself that something was not right, and he realized that he might not have stabbed the real Uchiha Itachi, but a clone. Having worked with Uchiha Itachi before, Kakashi knew the power of his "Clone Explosion" and decisively used the Instant Body Technique again to dodge in a panic.
Just as Kakashi left, a loud "boom" was heard, and Uchiha Itachi's clone exploded as expected; the powerful impact force lifted the calm water surface and turned it into a violent rainstorm, with dense raindrops splashing everywhere.
Just when Kakashi wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Itachi's figure suddenly emerged from his reflection on the water.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Kakashi subconsciously looked towards the place where Itachi appeared, but when he saw Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan that was like a three-bladed windmill, he realized that he had been hit.
"In the world of Tsukuyomi, time, space, perception...everything will be under my control."
In the illusion, Uchiha Itachi held a knife and looked at Kakashi, who was tied to the cross, with a judgmental look.
“Although time in the outside world passes in an instant, in the world of reading it feels as long as three days.
This means that in the next seventy-two hours, I will continue to cause you mental harm."
As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi in the Tsukuyomi world stabbed Kakashi in the abdomen.
As Uchiha Itachi was being inhumanely tortured in the illusion, Kakashi in the real world slowly fell down and lost consciousness.
