Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon

Uchiha Itachi thought he understood Sasuke better than anyone else in the world. Although the observation ability of the Sharingan was not as good as that of the Byakugan, it could still roughly reveal a person's talent.

According to Itachi's observation, Sasuke's talent in ninjutsu is similar to his own, his talent in illusion is not as good as his, but his physique is much stronger than his.

Although Sasuke's physical skills will surpass his own sooner or later, talent does not equal immediate combat power. Sasuke is not yet at the golden age for physical ninjas, so it stands to reason that he cannot catch up with his own in terms of physical skills.

What's more, Sasuke's left arm was dislocated. No matter how strong his willpower was, he couldn't control his left hand. But in the offensive and defensive battle just now, Sasuke seemed to be fine and his left hand was not affected at all.

"Gaba——"

With his eyes still closed, Sasuke skillfully repositioned his dislocated left hand.

Looking at Sasuke's healing skills which were not inferior to those of medical ninjas, Itachi seemed to be thinking about something. Then when Sasuke rushed towards him again, the three magatama in Itachi's eyes gradually turned into three-blade windmills.

The reason why Mangekyo is stronger than the Three Magatama is not only because of its special eye techniques and Susanoo. After the Three Magatama evolves into Mangekyo, both its illusion ability and observation ability will be improved accordingly.

Facing Sasuke's powerful attack, Itachi used all his strength to defend himself while observing Sasuke's condition.

Although he lost his right hand and left foot, Itachi temporarily gave up attacking and focused on defense. It was still not easy for Sasuke to defeat Itachi in physical skills.

"This is......"

Itachi opened the Mangekyo and quickly discovered that there was a pink chakra line extending into the distance beneath the water under Sasuke's feet.

Puppet line?

The string under the water is no different from the puppeteer's puppet string except for the color. In the Akatsuki organization, Itachi and Scorpion are quite familiar with each other because they both hate Orochimaru.

Itachi glanced along the direction of the puppet line at Sakura who was treating Kakashi, and couldn't help but look up to Sakura's talent. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary medical ninja could perform healing ninjutsu while controlling Sasuke's body to fight.

Moreover, the strings on Sasuke were definitely not ordinary puppet strings.

Itachi knew that a puppeteer could control ninjas in battle, but he could not increase the ninjas' physical abilities.

"I see. Are you using chakra lines to forcibly control muscle movement?"

Itachi could see the chakra emitting a dim pink glow from Sasuke's skin; looking at the special structure of the pink chakra that looked like a network of blood vessels, Itachi roughly analyzed the basic principles of Sakura's [Ranzhuang Tenkui Kai].

Now that he knew the principle, Itachi could naturally come up with a way to deal with it.

"Fire Style: Smoke Spray"

Just when the two were in a stalemate, suddenly, Itachi, who was confronting Sasuke, spewed out a cloud of hot black smoke from his mouth without any warning.

Although Itachi's right arm was broken, his fingers were still able to move flexibly, so it was not difficult for him to secretly perform hand seals with one hand.

In fact, if Itachi had not been worried about accidentally hurting Sasuke, he could have used ninjutsu to easily defeat him; after all, compared to physical skills and illusion skills, the damage caused by ninjutsu is difficult to control.

Fire Style: Smoke Jet can not only effectively block the enemy's vision, its scorching smoke also has a certain lethality, and can even be regarded as a degraded version of Ash Burning; in fact, this Fire Style was specially developed by Uchiha Itachi in order to restrain the Sharingan when he realized that his clansmen were about to betray him.

"hateful!"

The scorching black smoke burned Sasuke's skin, but Sasuke still did not open his eyes. He trusted Sakura 100%.

When thinking about countermeasures, Sakura said that Itachi would not use ninjutsu against her under normal circumstances, so the only way for her to defeat Itachi was to use physical skills to fight him.

Sasuke knew that his physical skills were no match for Itachi, so he could only place his hopes on Sakura's Ranzo Tenkuei Kai.

The result was just as Sakura expected. Even though his arm was broken, Itachi did not use any ninjutsu. Even if he used fire jutsu now, the power could not be said to be very strong and could not compare to the Great Fireball at all.

Sakura, who was controlling Sasuke from a distance, saw Itachi spit out black smoke and knew that Sasuke's uncivilized behavior of AFK and asking a substitute to play for him had been discovered. Itachi's purpose of spitting out smoke was to prevent her from continuing to observe the situation on the battlefield. In order to prevent Sasuke from being banned, she could only control Sasuke to quickly and instantly get out of the range of the black smoke.

"Water Bullet"

In the black smoke he created, Uchiha Itachi placed his left hand in front of his chest and skillfully formed a seal with one hand; as he moved, the river water began to fluctuate violently, forming a turbulent current; then, two huge rotating water guns shot up into the sky like the fangs of wild beasts, biting towards Sakura in the distance with great momentum.

Sakura did not show any panic at all. She keenly noticed that the black smoke was gradually dissipating due to the mist raised by the water tooth bomb. Now she could clearly see Uchiha Itachi's figure through the oracle essence technique.

Sakura's lips curled up slightly, and she came up with a plan, deciding to attack and rescue the enemy.

She just gently shook her left hand which was in the Bodhi Seal, and Sasuke's figure disappeared in an instant like lightning, his speed was even not inferior to that of Rock Lee who had opened the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.

Then, Sakura kept a close eye on Uchiha Itachi's movements while skillfully controlling Sasuke's teleportation - sending him accurately in front of her, just in the path of the water tooth bullet...

Kakashi: ┌(.Д.)┐

Itachi: (°ー°〃)

Uchiha Itachi also noticed that Sakura had been observing his movements. He originally thought that Sakura would control Sasuke to attack him, but he didn't expect that she would actually want to control Sasuke's body to resist his own ninjutsu.

Evil pink-haired little girl, where is your will of fire?

Are you doing this to be worthy of Sasuke who trusts you so much?

Uchiha Itachi glanced at Sasuke at this moment: (＠￣ー￣＠)

Seeing Sasuke with his eyes closed and a completely arrogant look, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but feel a little pity for his innocent and kind-hearted Odoudou:

My stupid Ou Doudou, when you grow up, you must be careful of women who cheat you. The prettier the woman, the more likely she is to cheat...

At the critical moment, Itachi directly controlled the two water bullets to collide with each other. As a large amount of river water exploded, Sasuke was also blown two meters away by the impact of the aftermath.

Fortunately, the place where the water bullet collided was still some distance away from Sasuke, so Sasuke was not injured.

Sakura, on the other hand, had a calm expression on her face. Since she could see Itachi's figure clearly, Itachi could naturally see the situation outside. This senior brother-con would definitely not let Sasuke get hurt.

The perfect way to attack and rescue the enemy is to let the enemy attack himself and then rescue himself.

However, Sakura's use of Sasuke as a shield also annoyed Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi took advantage of the huge splashes caused by the collision of the water bullets and quickly came to Sakura.

"Well done!"

Kakashi, who had been lying under Sakura's hand pretending to be dead, suddenly "came to life" and attacked Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi didn't expect Sakura's medical ninjutsu to be so powerful. Kakashi's lung injury was healed in just a few minutes.

Kakashi's combat experience and physical skills level are not comparable to Sakura and Sasuke. Uchiha Itachi, whose arm and Achilles tendon were injured, was quickly defeated and stabbed in the chest by a kunai.

"boom!"

Itachi in front of Kakashi exploded again, and Kakashi was speechless: How many clones is this?

Fortunately, Sasuke was not far from them, so Itachi did not use the clone explosion.

"not good!"

Kakashi suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly turned back to look at Sakura - only to see that Sakura had disappeared from the spot, leaving only ripples on the water...

While Kakashi was dealing with Itachi's shadow clone, Itachi had already lurked under Sakura's feet, grabbed her ankle, and dragged Sakura into the water.

"Wow--Gululu..."

Sakura didn't react immediately to Itachi's sudden attack and choked on the water several times.

However, Sakura quickly calmed down, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a spinning three-bladed windmill...

"Kaleidoscope illusion?"

When Sakura came to her senses, she found herself tied to a huge cross.

But it's not the same as the cross that bound Kakashi...

Why is there a pile of firewood under my cross?

"This is the world of Tsukuyomi, and everything in this world..."

Looking at Itachi who was explaining with an expressionless face, Sakura couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Because at this time, Uchiha Itachi was holding a torch in his left hand and a thorny whip covered with barbs in his right hand...

Sakura also understood that Uchiha Itachi's methods of torturing people were not limited to stabbing with a knife.

So, how much hatred do you have against me?
