Naruto's Endless Pretense

Kisame was stepped on by Sasuke, unable to move.The golden shark eyes rotated slightly, the gill-like wrinkles (tentatively thought to be wrinkles) trembled and breathed feebly, and it looked exactly like a stranded great white shark.

"I said! Answer my question!"

Seeing that Kisame refused to answer Itachi's whereabouts and purpose, Sasuke angrily stepped on his face.Using his true power, Kisame's two sharp teeth were broken out, and blood flowed from his bite muscles.

"That's enough, calm down Sasuke. Having survived in the blood mist, there is no way he could reveal information about his teammates so easily."

Kakashi next to him quickly stopped Sasuke's behavior.In his opinion, this looked like a precursor to Sasuke going berserk.In the previous confrontation, Sasuke was calm and steady, which made Kakashi think that he was able to control his emotions.Now it seemed that it was just an appearance, and Itachi's existence still made him care.

"……understood."

Sasuke took a long breath to steady himself.The reason for his excitement was not only because of Itachi, but also because he was worried about Hanabi's comfort.

Itachi was a person he couldn't estimate. He had principles but dared to break them.For the purpose, he can bear huge sacrifices, even becoming a sinner of his clan.Sasuke was certain that Itachi would not do anything bad to him, but he could not guarantee that Itachi would not do anything to others for his own sake.

After all, this is Hokage whose younger brother controls the world and destroys it, not Lu Dian whose younger sister controls the world.Itachi could destroy his own clan for the sake of the village, but Sasuke was more important to him than the village.

As if to vent his dissatisfaction, Sasuke gathered a large amount of chakra and slapped Kisame hard.But in fact, Sasuke just used this as a disguise to secretly leave the Flying Thunder God's technique on Kisame.

After doing all this, Sasuke threw Kisame to Kakashi.As for him, he channeled the slug and planned to enter immortal mode to search for Itachi's location.

"I'm so useless. I couldn't even complete the task Itachi told me to delay you."

Kisame, who was controlled by Kakashi, closed his eyes unwillingly.

"Stop talking useless words. Let's talk freely when you meet a 'professional' person."

Kisame chuckled after hearing Kakashi's sarcasm.The shark's face, which seemed to have no muscles, also became particularly ferocious.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

Kisame used all his strength to shout loudly to stop Sasuke who was about to leave.

"what's up?"

Sasuke glanced at Kisame with a chill, but Kisame was unafraid.

"It's nothing, I just want to try my best to complete what Itachi told me." Kisame smiled mysteriously.

"This time Itachi and I came to Konoha not because of an order from the organization, but because of Itachi's personal decision. I was just accompanying him as a teammate and monitor, so why did Itachi take that little girl away and go there again?" I have no idea where it is. But I think it probably has something to do with you."

As he said that, Kisame looked at Sasuke thoughtfully.

"So I'll give you some hints. On the way here, Itachi seemed to be talking about the peers you have a good relationship with. Where are those people now?"

When Sasuke and Kakashi heard this, they both froze on the spot.

"You mean, Itachi is now at the place where the chunin exams are taking place?"

& nb

sp; The second venue of the Chunin Examination is in the dangerous building area on the edge of Konoha.The abandoned dilapidated building area intersects with part of the forest shrubbery, making it a suitable place for ambush and exploiting the terrain.Of course, it’s also a good place to hide.

Wearing a tight black short coat, Itachi held the unconscious Hanabi in his arms, hiding between the shadows of two tree uncles.The number and quality of examiners arranged for this Chunin Exam far exceeded his expectations, and the Nara clan caused him considerable trouble.

Sweat continued to drip from his chin, and Itachi kept panting.He was seriously ill and fought one after another. Although it was nothing in terms of his skills, his body was a little overwhelmed.Especially the girl in my arms is a huge burden during the action.

Itachi originally hid Hanabi after completing his purpose, but he did not dare to make such a decision in this dangerous examination room.Because he knew that Sasuke didn't want anything to happen to Hanabi.Time was very tight. In order not to expose something, Itachi could only take Hanabi along the way.

"Now, we've got three people. There's not much time left. It's best to find two more people."

Feeling dizzy, Itachi closed his blood-red eyes helplessly.He is very clear about physical matters. If he holds on, he will have less than three years at most.Just like what he said to Kisame, it was quick for him to attack Sasuke.

According to Sasuke's current strength, it may be a year or two, or it may be a few months.And according to what he knew, there were many people with malicious intentions in the outside world who wanted to take advantage of the young Sasuke.So for Sasuke and the village, Itachi must make preparations in advance.

This time Itachi planned to be more prepared, just in case.In the duel with Sasuke just now, he could sense that the backhand he had arranged last time had disappeared.This made him both happy and worried.What was gratifying was that Sasuke's strength had actually grown to a level that he couldn't believe. What was worrying was that such a younger brother would undoubtedly attract the covetousness of careerists like cheese.

"So are these four the latest targets?"

Itachi turned slightly to the side, observed the people who were fighting fiercely, and had a plan in mind.

"Three people are fighting, and one is observing secretly. To be on the safe side, just pick the one who is secretly there. But if this trend continues, it won't be very effective if we don't attack those two children."

The fierce battle exceeded the scale of an ordinary chuunin battle. Itachi thought twice and stayed where he was.In Itachi's estimation, Kisame and Samehada should be able to buy him a lot of time, so let's observe it for the time being.

It also restores the consumed physical strength and eye power.

Hyuga Neji is called the genius of the Hyuga clan by Hyuga Hizashi.When he was still separated from the family, he alone understood the family's unique skills such as Rouquan's Huitian and Bagua 64 Palms.Now he secretly became a clan member and received the full guidance of Hyuga Hizashi. His strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is no longer the same as his former self.

To give a simple example, the secret advanced physical technique taught only by the Hyuga clan, the Shuangbu Double Lion Fist, was perfectly presented by him at this moment.

Two purple lion heads gathered on his hands, as if they were roaring at Sakon.Neji confidently made a gesture of invitation to the other party.

"Sasuke's subordinate, let me test your measurements to see how different they are from his!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Sasuke-sama's men are defeated."

Sakon bit his finger and quickly formed a few seals. A chakra that was not inferior to that of Neji's two lions gathered on his arm and condensed into a substantial film.

"Let me defeat you as easily as Sasuke-sama once did!"
