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

Water Release: Water Fang Bullet.

boom!

Water splashed everywhere, and huge waves surged.

That guy makes a good point.

but.

Once you reach the river, it becomes a battlefield for ninjutsu.

Itachi Uchiha flicked his finger, releasing a genjutsu, but...

I've been tricked!

It's somewhat like the Hyuga clan's pressure point technique, which destroyed his chakra pathways.

We have to move!

Itachi Uchiha instantly dashed into the river, and by the time Chiba caught up, two columns of water rose from the river's surface.

The ability of this junior named Chiba to forcibly control such rampant chakra is simply outrageous!

How did you train?

Chiba simply abandoned his ability to conceal his aura, instead transforming it into a chakra shield that absorbed natural energy, and then—

Just how many secret techniques does this guy know?

A fireball erupted from the water, the scorching flames baking the river to boiling hot.

Being easily suspected and making the transmission of intelligence too obvious could lead to a lot of trouble.

In the water, Itachi Uchiha pondered the situation that had just occurred.

At this moment, he began to understand the confusion that his peers felt when they were in school.

The terrifying chakra coalesced into a chakra blade, cleaving the river in two and striking Itachi once more.

His body turned into a splash of water once again.

The huge waves forced the weasel to emerge from the water.

If Guy's speed after opening the Eight Gates reached the limit of taijutsu, then Itachi's hand seals also reached a certain limit. The only way to be faster than him is without hand seals.

The eyes simply cannot grasp the timing of the ninjutsu release.

Chiba won't work either.

but.

He has special sensory abilities.

"Mr. Itachi, do you need my help? If we delay any longer, more and more Konoha ninjas will gather."

Kisame was struggling against two opponents, but this was on the premise that he dared not use large-scale ninjutsu. If he went all out, he was confident that Asuma and Kurenai would not be able to stop him.

and.

Itachi's opponent seems to be someone who isn't very good at ninjutsu. It might have been easier if he had a different opponent.

Itachi's eyes narrowed, and he shook his head, saying, "No need, I will take care of him immediately."

Then, through the waves, he "just happened" to meet Chiba's eyes. The next second, the power of his pupils converged, the tomoe spun, and the three tomoe quickly connected into one.

Mangekyō Sharingan.

Tsukuyomi!

In an instant——

Chiba's vision shifts from the river to a void, illusory world.

just.

Chiba was bound to the cross, but the hand holding the knife could move freely.

Itachi narrowed his eyes.

The illusion didn't work completely?

The opponent possesses a countermeasure against illusion magic!

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but the key now was not the illusion, but the exchange of information needed by both sides.

"This space can be expanded with my time, we have a lot of time to communicate, what do you know?"

"I killed Danzo, and before he died, he gave me a special genjutsu eye..."

Chiba will start from the beginning.

Itachi frowned.

Danzo is dead?

This surprised him greatly...

and.

The third generation actually passed on their "roots" to a young boy.

Does he have that kind of prestige?

Itachi pondered for a long time before asking, "How did you know I was an undercover agent? Does Root have any information on me?"

"No, I just think the demise of the Uchiha clan is too abnormal. Before that, you were always a member of the Hokage faction who supported Konoha. I suspect there is more to this story."

Chiba said simply.

His explanation was...

Based on available information, I speculate that you might try to scam them after meeting them.

Itachi remained silent for a few seconds, not dwelling on his own exposure. The other party was able to control "Root," which showed that he was highly trusted by the Third Hokage and it was unlikely that he would betray him.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "How is Sasuke?"

"I originally planned to send him to Orochimaru for further training, but unfortunately, Orochimaru was killed by the Second Hokage, so I had to teach him myself."

Chiba sighed helplessly, touching the cross beside him. "Could you put me down first?"

"..."

Itachi hesitated for a moment before removing the cross from the illusion space.

"Next, I will arrange for Sasuke to join the Anbu training unit for a round of training before he goes into the Anbu to carry out missions."

Do you know about the Mangekyou Sharingan?

"I've heard that Madara possessed that kind of power back then."

Chiba seemed to be deep in thought. "So Danzo's special genjutsu eye really is the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

“That’s right, this power is extremely strong. That eye is a Mangekyou Sharingan, belonging to my dear friend Shisui.”

"It's such a pity that he could use the technique of 'Shisui' (the ability to instantly stop moving)."

Chiba sighed, "That's why I say, Danzo's death is the greatest contribution to Konoha."

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Itachi remained silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Let's talk about the Akatsuki. Our organization's goal is to collect the Tailed Beasts. The members I know of so far include..."

He finished speaking one by one.

Then, Itachi glanced at Chiba: "Do I need to repeat myself?"

"No need, I can remember the information of just four or five people after hearing it once."

Chiba shook his head.

Itachi remained silent for several seconds.

"I don't know the identities of the others, I only know their code names, and there's really no more information about them."

"It's more than enough. I'll use the intelligence carefully and won't put you in any danger, but I think it's more important for you to live longer than to use the intelligence."

"..."

Itachi narrowed his eyes.

No one should know about my illness.

"Your mental state is very unstable, and you probably have some mental illness. In addition, illusion magic and eye power correspond to mental power and brain power. Over-exploitation and overuse will have some unpredictable consequences."

Chiba said.

Regardless of what kind of person Itachi is, carrying too much on his shoulders must have put him under immense mental pressure, especially with the added strain of genjutsu and ocular power.

It is highly likely that a brain lesion triggered a series of blood spot diseases.

of course.

This is his personal speculation.

Itachi remained silent for a moment.

This guy even knows about medicine?

"If there's nothing else, let's end it here. Before I leave, I want to..."

"If you're going to use illusion magic, I won't let you stab me willingly. I advise you to dispel it yourself."

Chiba has no masochistic tendencies.

Although Kakashi's mental strength was increased to some extent after being stimulated by the technique, he had to lie down for several days as a result.

It's completely a losing proposition!

Uchiha Itachi remained silent.

To be honest, he had a lot of confidence in Tsukuyomi and didn't think Chiba could completely break the illusion, but the previous cross hadn't been able to completely bind him.

Perhaps the other side really does have countermeasures.

"Make your performance more realistic."

"Don't worry, you can completely trust my acting skills."
