Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 93 Top Secret Mission - Betraying Teammates

At the border of the Land of Fire, you can see the Land of Rain by passing through a mountain forest.

Sarutobi Sousuke looked at the ninja wearing an animal mask beside him.

As one of the Jonin of the Sarutobi clan, Yusuke is usually very low-key.

However, he believed that his fire-style ninjutsu was no weaker than that of the Uchiha.

Not long ago, this person wearing an animal mask and claiming to be a member of the Anbu approached him, saying that he had information about Itachi Uchiha's whereabouts.

Itachi is an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha.

Yusuke wasn't confident he could take down Itachi, but since the Anbu had approached him, he had no reason to refuse.

The Anbu was a unit established by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and was directly commanded by the Hokage.

Its full name is Assassination Tactics Special Forces.

As far as Yusuke knows, there are currently around 70 members in the Anbu.

Those who can join the Anbu are all quite strong and have earned the Hokage's approval.

Although the Anbu's main tasks are to protect the Hokage and prevent foreign enemies from invading Konoha, they are sometimes also responsible for reconnaissance and assassination missions.

Every member of the secret service wears a white animal mask, and all information regarding their mission and other details is kept secret.

The Dark Division is not easy to impersonate, especially with the Third Hokage's warrant.

This ANBU ninja claimed to be a squad leader.

The ranks of the Dark Division are divided into Captain, Deputy Captain, Squad Leader, and Member.

Those who can become captains of the Dark Division are all elites.

After leaving the forest, they hadn't run for long when they saw the weasel.

"According to intelligence, Itachi Uchiha is injured and can't exert even 30% of his strength," Yusuke thought to himself.

Itachi extended his right hand from the collar of his trench coat, looking calmly at Yusuke.

Knowing that Itachi was a master of genjutsu, Sousuke did not make eye contact with Itachi's Sharingan.

But just by looking at Itachi's hand, he was already under the influence of genjutsu.

"call out!"

Itachi threw a kunai, aiming it at Yusuke's throat.

At the critical moment, Yusuke broke free of the illusion and narrowly avoided the kunai, but the kunai still left a bloody mark on his neck.

Having narrowly escaped death, Yusuke was still shaken, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He almost died.

No wonder he was rated as an S-rank rogue ninja, he's really a formidable guy.

But at that moment, the ANBU ninja next to Yusuke made his move, but instead of attacking Itachi, he ambushed Yusuke.

Yusuke reacted quickly enough, but he was still hit by several kunai.

ANBU?

These are Root ninjas, carrying out a mission assigned by Lord Danzo.

The Root ninjas are Danzo's hands and feet.

This top-secret mission arranged by Lord Danzo is... to help Itachi kill Yosuke.

The betrayal by his teammates left Yusuke in disbelief.

"Pathetic fellow." Itachi felt a little sympathy for Yusuke, but he still had to kill him.

Currently, Itachi is just an intern in the Akatsuki organization. To become a full member, he needs to kill 10 Jonin from the Sarutobi clan.

The Third Hokage told Itachi to give up the mission.

However, Danzo ordered Itachi to complete a mission, making sure he became a full member of the Akatsuki.

The sacrifice of the 10 Jonin Sarutobi was all worthwhile.

In the past, Root has often carried out missions as an ANBU (Anbu).

Training members for the Dark Side is also one of the tasks of the Root organization.

Kakashi and Tenzo, the current members of the Anbu, were both originally members of the Root organization.

Impersonating the dark side is an easy task for the root organization.

"Your sacrifice was worthwhile for the village," said the Root ninja who had ambushed Yusuke.

“I will not let you get away with colluding with rogue ninjas.” Yusuke said angrily.

Itachi, wielding a kunai, attacked Yusuke.

Although the image of the Third Hokage in Itachi's heart did not collapse, it was no longer as great.

Sacrificing others is acceptable, but sacrificing Sarutobi clan ninjas is not?
Compared to the Third Hokage, Danzo's Will of Fire was purer!

Now, Itachi has no choice in the matter.

Even if he were willing to obey the Third Hokage, Danzo would make the choice for him. Killing a few Sarutobi clan ninjas in Itachi's name wouldn't be difficult for Danzo's Root organization.

After weighing the pros and cons, the benefits of cooperating with Danzo outweighed the drawbacks.

And all of this is for the sake of the village.

The third generation will understand sooner or later.

Let's start with Sarutobi Sousuke!

Even with just the three-tomoe Sharingan, Itachi completely overwhelmed Yusuke.

Moreover, the right strategist was injured.

Another Root ninja was standing nearby.

Yusuke tried to escape, but failed.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!"

The Great Flame Technique is a secret fire-style ninjutsu passed down through generations of the Sarutobi clan, and its power is extraordinary.

At first glance, it looks somewhat like the Uchiha's Great Fireball Technique.

Itachi has been single for over a decade, and his hand seal speed is astonishing, much faster than Usuke's.

In terms of its level, the Great Fireball Technique is not high; it's only a C-rank ninjutsu.

The power of ninjutsu is indeed related to rank, but it also depends on the user.

Even the Lightning Release: Armor of the Hidden Cloud Village Raikage is only a B-rank ninjutsu, but when the Fourth Raikage uses it, the speed is almost comparable to that of the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze.

For example, the Uchiha clan's Great Fire Annihilation is only a B-rank ninjutsu, but if Madara Uchiha were to use it, its power would be comparable to a forbidden technique.

Two fireballs, one large and one small, collided in mid-air, and the scorching air spread in all directions.

Usuke's ninjutsu was suppressed.

Whether it's his mastery of ninjutsu, the speed of hand seals, the amount of chakra, or even the timing of his attacks, Itachi was practically perfect.

Even without injury, Usuke has absolutely no chance of winning.

And Itachi hasn't even used the Sharingan's powerful eye techniques yet!
The clash of kunai, the whirling of shuriken, the contest of ninjutsu.

There are low-level Three Body Techniques and high-level Three Body Techniques.

Normally, mastering the basic Three Body Techniques is enough to graduate from the Ninja Academy.

The three basic body techniques are transformation, substitution, and clone.

As for the advanced Three Body Techniques, they are the Immobilization Technique (Golden Binding Ninjutsu), the Instantaneous Movement Technique, and the Invisibility Technique.

This battle was truly dazzling.

Perhaps Itachi wasn't determined enough in his heart to kill the Jonin of the Sarutobi clan!

"Pfft~"

As their figures clashed, Itachi slit Yosuke's throat with a kunai in his hand.

Yusuke collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

After the battle ended, Itachi took out a sealing scroll and sealed Yusuke's corpse onto the scroll.

With nine more Jonin Sarutobi corpses, we can go to Pain to exchange for a ring that grants us a formal membership in the Akatsuki.

The Root ninja then teleported away.

Itachi sighed inwardly. From the moment he killed the first Jonin Sarutobi, there was no turning back.

Then let him continue down this path!

Become a full member of Akatsuki and then gather intelligence for Konoha.

Danzo could do it, silently dedicating himself to the village while remaining in the shadows, and so could Itachi Uchiha.

……

Leaf, the base of root tissue.

Danzo was also deep in thought.

One against seven shouldn't disappoint him.

That was a genius of the Uchiha clan; at the age of seven, Hiruzen praised him for having the mindset of a Hokage.

Since they possess the mindset of a Hokage, what does sacrificing 10 ninjas for the village matter? If they don't even have this much awareness, their magnanimity won't be that great.

Although he had ways to force a fight against seven opponents, Danzo avoided using some of the darker methods if possible.

For Danzo, the result was the most important thing; the process was not.

Any means necessary is acceptable as long as the goal is achieved.
