Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

"Two S-rank rogue ninjas have come to Konoha, and Itachi, you dared to come back after causing such a major incident, you really have guts."

Asma said seriously.

Itachi sighed softly, "Mr. Asuma, Ms. Kurenai, please don't stop us. I don't want to kill you."

What is your purpose?

"It seems there's no way I can leave safely."

"You've decided? Then..."

Kisame swung Samehada and immediately slashed at Asuma.

however.

Asuma was even faster, dodging in the blink of an eye, avoiding any direct confrontation, and—

The next moment, he swung the blade directly.

call out!

A sharp whooshing sound rang out, and instantly, Kisame had a wound on his hand.

Wind Blade?

Kisame narrowed his eyes.

Itachi watched Kurenai from the sidelines without making a move, but then suddenly shouted, "Retreat!"

"what?"

Kisame was dumbfounded, but out of trust in Itachi, he immediately took several steps back.

The next second, Chiba sighed softly and walked out of the forest.

"As expected, it's not so easy to take down the bounties for two S-rank rogue ninjas."

He had just tried to use parasitic insects to carry talismans to set up a plan and try to keep Samehada from Kisame, but he didn't expect Itachi Uchiha to see through it so keenly.

This perception and observation...

No wonder he was a genius of the previous generation!

Chiba looked at Uchiha Itachi and said calmly, "My name is Yagyu Chiba."

"Heh, Konoha brat..."

"Don't be careless, Kisame, this guy is an extremely terrifying genius."

Uchiha Itachi solemnly drew his kunai.

If it weren't for his habit of activating the three-tomoe gem, he would have definitely messed up just now. This person's techniques and strategies are terrifying, and although he is clearly not named Aburame, he has mastered the Parasitic Insect...

Very strange.

"Senior Itachi, I've long wanted to spar with a genius like you, and now I finally have the chance."

Chiba smiled and said, "Let's fight on the other side, so as not to disrupt their battlefield."

Kisame narrowed his eyes and said, "Itachi-san."

"Let's fight quickly."

"Ok."

Kisame, carrying Samehada, said, "It shouldn't take me too long on this side either."

The next second, the river surged, and waves rolled up.

Water Release: Water Shark Bullet!

Asuma and Kurenai retreated while forming hand seals, using Fire Release to counteract the power of the Water Shark Bullet, but he soon discovered that his chakra had been stolen.

After the prompt, the two sides engaged in a stalemate.

Itachi looked at Chiba.

The next moment, his pupils contracted.

"Itachi-senpai, if I'm not mistaken, you must be an undercover agent, right?"

Itachi instinctively glanced back.

They were completely unaware.

This is……

Telepathic communication?

At that moment, a voice rang out.

"You're distracted while fighting me? Take care of yourself first, or you'll die here."

The next second, a blade of light pierced through the air.

A knife that's incredibly fast!

Even with the Sharingan, one can only catch fleeting afterimages.

In the blink of an eye—

Bang!

The body struck by the slash exploded violently.

but.

Chiba's is not the real thing either.

? !

Itachi became alert and immediately blocked the blade behind him.

Chapter 186 You really need to live a long time.

So fast!

Itachi used the momentum to jump away, his fingers trembling slightly.

This strike was not only extremely powerful, but it also employed a bizarre technique to deflect his weapon; he almost got hit.

Do not!

It wasn't almost, it was...

The other party held back.

This junior, who is a few years younger than me, has already far surpassed me in physical skills alone, and his other abilities have not yet been revealed.

but.

How did this guy know I was an undercover agent?

"Never mind, now is not the time to think about these things," Itachi's eyes narrowed.

The opponent's aura is very well concealed, making it extremely difficult to detect their presence and predict their location.

No wonder I didn't realize it.

Uchiha Itachi turned into a pool of liquid.

boom!

Chakra exploded, creating a swirling vortex of air.

The chakra that erupted from his body caused a chakra flow, followed by a punch from a distance.

The strange, skewed force was stronger than before, directly causing his kunai to deviate from its direction. The next instant, a tremendous force came from the blade.

Even so, the battle must continue.

"..."

Then, Itachi felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

He pondered in his mind while quickly forming hand seals.

"In this terrifying mode, Chiba-kun's taijutsu is greatly amplified. He cannot get close. Using ninjutsu or genjutsu is the best option."

The illusion didn't work?

Itachi frowned, formed hand seals again, and used his water clone to replace his main body.

Itachi thought to himself.

Itachi only felt it was magical.

Then——

But fortunately.

Even the Sharingan could only see afterimages; there were trees around to conceal them.

But the next moment, the sound of splashing water rang out.

follow closely--

however.

but.

Itachi turned around and used a kunai to defend himself.

Extreme state, Sage Mode, Super Strength.

The opportunity I needed has arrived.

"Itachi-senpai, you did a very discreet job, but many things can still be analyzed, so please don't reveal the information too obviously."

The opponent's chakra underwent a qualitative change in an instant, and then was quickly controlled and disappeared. Unless one was observing from the shadows, the change would be completely undetectable.

What power is this?

and.
