I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"You wouldn't take Qianqiu-neechan's... you know... thing, would you?"

Kakashi glanced at the pink-clad girl's back and immediately recognized it as Chiaki's. Itachi using her as a background figure was rather malicious.

"This world is your domain; everything is up to your imagination..."

"In other words... you can do whatever you want?!"

Kakashi looked at Itachi with an envious gaze that any man could understand, but Itachi simply gave him a cold look.

"Romantic feelings are insignificant to me, Kakashi. Your mind needs purification. Why don't you stay here for seventy-two hours and let me purify you?"

He pulled out a katana and placed it on the table. "By the way, you can't fight back in the Tsukuyomi space."

"Okay, okay... I was wrong, I won't joke like that."

Kakashi raised his hands in surrender, hoping to lighten the mood by being a little irreverent with Itachi, but Itachi clearly wasn't interested.

"Let's get down to business."

Kakashi composed himself and asked Itachi seriously, "What exactly is going on with Akatsuki's operation this time?"

"Sister Qianqiu wants to know the results as soon as possible and report them to her."

"What is your ultimate goal?"

Itachi nodded, snapped his fingers, and the Tsukuyomi space changed again, instantly showing Kakashi the scene of the Akatsuki arranging their work.

"The Akatsuki's main objective this time is to capture the Nine-Tails and destroy Konoha."

"The organization's apparent leader is Payne, a guy who calls himself a god."

While watching the video play, Itachi explained to Kakashi, "Look, that's the guy standing in the very center, the one with the Rinnegan."

"Reincarnation Eye!?"

Kakashi took a few steps forward, and Itachi reached out and pulled Pain's illusion, making it appear in front of Kakashi.

"That's right, it's the Rinnegan."

Itachi gestured to Pain's eyes, and Kakashi leaned closer to examine them. The Rinnegan appeared particularly eerie, with its rings of ripples looking quite terrifying.

"What is this thing for?"

Kakashi turned to look at Itachi, who sighed in a strange tone, "The Rinnegan, also known as the 'eye that controls life and death,' seems to have many powerful abilities, even more powerful than our Mangekyou Sharingan."

“I learned about some of his abilities from the documents and my conversations with Payne, but that was only a small part. He clearly has much more powerful abilities that he hasn’t shown yet.”

Itachi explained to Kakashi in detail what he knew about the Rinnegan, such as chakra absorption, the attraction and repulsion that can pull people in and out, and the insight that is no weaker than the Sharingan. All of this increased the mystery of the Rinnegan.

"What does he want to do?"

"With such immense power, and also collecting tailed beasts..."

Kakashi scratched his head in exasperation. "He wouldn't be thinking of destroying the world, would he?"

"Probably."

Itachi stroked his chin and said, "He really might destroy the world."

"?"

Kakashi looked at Itachi strangely: "Is that Pain a chuunibyou?"

There are at least three Super Kage in the ninja world, maybe even four. For the Akatsuki to destroy the ninja world is just wishful thinking.

"It's really not."

Itachi looked at Kakashi meaningfully, "As far as I know, they only dared to make a move when they were absolutely certain of success."

"As for what constitutes this absolute certainty, I am still investigating."

"Their operation was too fast this time. I only had time to send out one piece of intelligence before they had already set off."

"This is really killing me..."

Kakashi said with a headache, "I understand. In this way, we will both be severely injured. You escape back to investigate the intelligence, and I will return to Konoha to report to Chiaki-neechan."

"If there's any more intelligence, try to get it out."

"I think so too."

Itachi said calmly, "You need to remind Lady Chiaki that Pain might infiltrate Konoha in an unimaginable way. I hope she will be prepared."

Chapter 750 I have fulfilled my mission

"Self-destruction?"

Deidara's words immediately changed Sasuke's expression.

What the hell is going on?

Would he self-destruct at the slightest provocation?

Well……

Sasuke admitted that it was wrong of him to use sharp words to provoke Deidara, but this guy's mental fortitude is too weak, isn't it?

It's common sense to trash talk each other during combat, provoke your opponent, and then take advantage of their loss of composure to fight back.

However, it seems that this common sense doesn't apply to Deidara.

Compared to C4 Garuda, Deidara's self-destruction speed seems to be much faster.

His body swelled up faster than an inflating balloon, growing to the size of a giant while Sasuke hesitated.

The chakra threat emanating from Deidara's body made Sasuke's expression extremely grim.

Sasuke felt his hair stand on end, a frantic sense of vigilance rising in his heart, his intuition warning him to escape as quickly as possible, the farther the better.

"Hahaha!"

"Let's perish together!"

"You can't escape!"

Deidara laughed wildly, his body swelling high into the air, his rough voice drifting down from the sky.

"My self-destruct range is ten kilometers!"

"You, a mere elite Jonin, can't possibly escape more than ten kilometers!"

"Come and die with me, Sasuke Uchiha!"

Sasuke stared at Deidara in disbelief. He could clearly feel Deidara's aura expanding and emitting a dangerous pressure.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Sasuke cursed under his breath, quickly reviewing his skills in his mind. He sadly realized that, due to limitations in his abilities, he could only run a maximum of five kilometers.

This was only because Sasuke overcalculated the timing of Deidara's explosion. If Deidara had exploded now, Sasuke wouldn't have needed to run at all; he could have just stood there and waited to die.

Or is it……

To sacrifice something in order to save oneself.

Sasuke's expression showed struggle. He did indeed have such methods, such as sacrificing the Kage-level Manda to protect himself and escape.

However, doing so would not only reduce his combat strength but also create a lot of trouble for him.

First, the Snake Clan will no longer have any connection with Sasuke. Second, Orochimaru, who handed over the Snake Clan in Ryuchi Cave to Sasuke for a contract, will probably teach Sasuke a lesson in order to stand up for Ryuchi Cave.

More importantly, he would lose the opportunity to further comprehend immortal techniques.

After all, the Sage Techniques of Orochimaru's lineage basically all come from Ryuchi Cave. Sasuke himself doesn't think he can comprehend Sage Techniques on his own like Chiaki and Orochimaru.

"Hahaha, you have no chance of escaping, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Deidara roared, then began the countdown: "5!"

"4!"

"3!"

Sasuke's expression faltered for only three seconds before he decisively shouted towards the sky, "Save me!"

"2!"

"1!"

"go to hell!"

"The explosion was—"

"Art!!! Drink!"

Deidara, in a frenzy, sacrificed his life by self-destructing.

hum!

Boom!

First came a buzzing sound, followed by dazzling flames and an explosion, and a human-shaped mushroom cloud rose up.

The explosion destroyed everything around it, like a halo spreading outwards. Anything that the halo touched, whether animal or plant, was reduced to dust.

Sasuke, his scalp tingling, watched the halo of light crush his face and screamed in despair.

"What are you waiting for?! Save me!"

Sasuke cursed inwardly. If he hadn't trusted Minato Namikaze, how could he have felt such fear?

"Don't worry, didn't I say I would definitely save your life?"

Swoosh

With a flash of golden light, Minato even had the time to wink at Sasuke before reaching out to touch him and disappearing instantly.

Sasuke felt a wave of heat rush over him, and then he lost his sense of gravity and his vision blurred.

After feeling his feet firmly planted on solid ground, he finally regained his composure.

A gentle breeze blew in, and a slight vibration traveled through the air to Sasuke's nose. Sasuke looked over as he felt the vibration.

In the distance, the mushroom cloud slowly rose, and the heat wave and the impact of the explosion reached him, but they no longer posed any threat. It was just a slight heat wave, accompanied by the smell of gunpowder from the explosion, which dissipated in the air.
