Naruto's Endless Pretense

Shikamaru's eyes suddenly brightened, and he struggled to escape but was pinned to the ground by Itachi.

"Sasuke! Calm down, this guy is definitely more panicked than us. Hold on and find his weakness!"

Even though Shikamaru's face was pressed to the ground and his mouth was full of dirt, he still continued to help Sasuke analyze.Indeed, as Shikamaru said, the real disadvantage now is Itachi, whose whereabouts have been exposed.If he stayed in one place for too long, Konoha's expedition force would definitely arrive soon.

"You broke your fingers to get rid of the illusion? He looks like a scared kid, but he is quite courageous."

Itachi glanced at Shikamaru's reverse-curved fingers, felt a slight fluctuation in his heart, and knocked him out casually.For some reason, Shikamaru felt that there was a kind emotion in Itachi's eyes when he looked at him at the end that shouldn't exist.

"Find out his weaknesses..."

Sasuke's eyelids twitched as he looked at the unconscious Shikamaru.The only ones present who could still maintain consciousness were himself and Itachi.

Sasuke knew very well what Itachi's weakness was, and that was himself.So what to do?Could it be that he pointed the blade at his own throat and said something like, "I'll die in front of you if you don't hold back"?

Absolutely not.That simply made it clear that he knew about the night of genocide, and if he told Itachi like this, something would definitely happen.Maybe Itachi would go directly to Danzo to fight for his life.

Then we can only start from Itachi's purpose.It would be a good choice to pretend to or really satisfy Itachi's request and let him leave safely.However, Itachi's purpose is still completely unclear, and the information he got from Kisame only said that it was related to him.

"Why are you coming back again...wait!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and suddenly disappeared from where he was.Before Itachi could detect Sasuke's whereabouts, Sasuke returned to his original position, but there was a half-dead shark beside him, and Kakashi, who didn't know the truth.

"Sasuke, what are you doing? This is Itachi!"

Kakashi was carrying Kisame's body and was looking around in confusion.Turning around and seeing Itachi and the three unconscious people at his feet, he immediately entered alert mode and leaned down to start forming seals.As for Kisame, he threw him roughly to the ground.

"Don't be impulsive, Kakashi-sensei! The situation is very critical now."

Sasuke reached out to stop Kakashi and stepped on Kisame's back.

"Kisame, I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed."

"Sorry, Itachi. I'm holding you back again."

Itachi snorted silently, no longer caring about Kisame's miserable situation, and turned his eyes calmly to Sasuke.

"What? Do you want to threaten me with hostages? I am different from you. Not to mention my teammates at work, I can also kill my close relatives. This method is useless."

"Not necessarily, the fact that I am alive is proof."

Sasuke held Tayuya in his arms and looked directly into Itachi's eyes.Sweat dripped with rhythmic breathing, fighting Kisame, using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, and keeping Tayuya alive, all of which consumed too much chakra.

Especially using the curse seal to enter sage mode brought huge physical exertion to the thirteen-year-old Sasuke.He had to overpower Itachi as soon as possible.

"You don't need to explain more!"

Interrupting Itachi who was about to speak, Sasuke inserted the chakra dagger into the ground against Kisame's throat.

"Kisame is not a teammate who can be abandoned so easily. I don't know how hard-hearted you are, but from this shark's mouth, I know that this action was your own initiative. So you lose a teammate who has a tacit understanding. , I’m afraid it will also have an impact on your mission.”

It's not just the Gathering Arts and Tailed Beast quests that will be affected.Once Kisame dies like this, Itachi's mission of monitoring the Akatsuki organization as a spy will become difficult to carry out, and his identity will inevitably be questioned.Then the ultimate goal of protecting Sasuke will not be accomplished, not to mention that Itachi's strength is not the strongest in the Akatsuki organization.

[Ah, the barrier has been breached. Is it a subjugation team sent by the Hokage?There are a lot of people. 】

As if being blown by a cold wind, Itachi shivered and took a few steps away from the three Sakon people.

"Kisame, leave it to me."

Sasuke and Kakashi looked at each other, slowly pulled out the short sword held by Kisame's throat, and kicked him hard to Itachi's side.Itachi leaned over and carried someone who was much larger than him.

Kisame reached out his hand to Sasuke again.

"Shark muscle."

Without thinking, Sasuke took Samehada and wanted to throw it away, but Kakashi stopped him.

"No, Sasuke. If Kisame regains his strength, things will become complicated."

"It's okay. Senju Chakra can't be dispelled in such a short time. You have some confidence in me. Besides, Hanabi's whereabouts are still unknown."

Sasuke ignored Kakashi's advice and threw Samehada away.Itachi picked up Samehada and looked at the blade that swelled like a puffer fish, and then crows flew out of his sleeves, disturbing Sasuke and Kakashi's sight.

"Is this the trick again?"

Kakashi opened his Sharingan and used the water dragon bullet technique to disperse countless crows in the sky.Sure enough, the figures of Itachi and Kisame had disappeared, replaced by a series of symbols on the ground.Kakashi immediately ran forward to check.

"It's the secret code of Konoha Anbu, it should be Hanabi's location. Sasuke, I'm going to find it now!"

Kakashi roughly interpreted the message Itachi left and breathed a sigh of relief.Since Hanabi's position has been left, it means that he will not attack others again, at least the safety of the candidates can be guaranteed.But when he looked back at Sasuke, his nerves became tense again.

Sasuke has entered the escape mode at this moment, and all three magatama on his cloak are lit up.Holding the unconscious Tayuya in his arms, he looked murderously at Guangyi in the distance.

"The wound has healed. It seems that your medical ninjutsu is also very good. There are not many people so young who can master senjutsu. If one of them dies, the village will probably be furious."

Unlike the hesitant words he spoke, Kakashi felt Sasuke's murderous intent getting stronger.The soaring momentum even set off a breeze, blowing the dust on the ground into the air.

Sasuke slowly pulled out Daoxue and walked towards Guangyi step by step.This time it was Itachi who took the lead, but Guangyi's behavior made things even more out of control.Although from all aspects, what Guangyi did was reasonable.

Sasuke once again saw his own powerlessness, and the complicated emotions he had suppressed at seeing Itachi and the anger of his companion being hurt kept emerging.

"Kida Mitsuyoshi, you want to kill Tayuya, right?"

Guangyi felt his hands and feet were cold, and his body trembled unconsciously.Sasuke's murderous intent is the same as his previous murderous intent towards Tayuya. If he doesn't do anything else, he will definitely be killed without hesitation!

But what can he do?Raise the chakra dagger and wrap the wind attribute chakra around it as much as possible.Layers of wind blades wrapped around Guangyi's body, making it even more complicated than when dealing with Tayuya.

"Go to hell, bastard!"

The pitch-black blade pierced straight into the storm created by Guangyi, easily tearing open the field of wind he had created with all his strength.Sasuke's sword was not very fast, or very slow, but it made Guangyi feel unable to resist.For just a moment, Guangyi even had the urge to just drop the dagger and let Sasuke pierce his chest.

"Stop! Sasuke!"

The tip of the knife stopped steadily half an inch away from the chest and did not move forward.But Guangyi felt that his whole body was soaked with cold sweat, and Sasuke's murderous aura made him almost unable to move.

"Stop it, Sasuke. It's a serious crime to attack a ninja from the same village. Have you forgotten Tsunade-sama's previous punishment?"

Kakashi reached out and grabbed Sasuke.

"What's more important now is Tayuya's injury. Leave it to me to deal with Hanabi. You take Tayuya to the hospital first. Moreover, the venue for the chunin exam was invaded so easily, and the genjutsu barrier was also It didn’t work. I’m afraid there are some situations that we don’t know about. Let’s be patient at this time.”

Knowing Sasuke's mood, Kakashi didn't dissuade him too forcefully.Sasuke glanced at Mitsuki coldly, hugged Tayuya and disappeared.

Guangyi looked at the place where Sasuke disappeared and gasped for air.But while I was panting, I felt a sharp pain in my chest and abdomen.Green chakra appeared in his hands, and he covered his chest with palm magic, but blood was dripping from his fingers.

"Is this the difference between me and him..."

"No, not really."

Kakashi stood aside and looked at Guangyi coldly.

"You and Sasuke are not on the same level at all."
