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

What exactly is going on in Konoha right now?

Has Konoha made peace?

After the thought flashed through Itachi's mind, he couldn't help but chuckle.

These……

What does it have to do with me?

In Konoha now, there is a stronger person, so there is nothing for me to worry about.

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

Then, a knife came flying at me.

Flying Thunder God!

Almost the instant he appeared, Chiba reached his maximum speed, even emitting a terrifying sonic boom.

however.

His slash...

It struck one of the shadow clones.

The weasel hid in the tree, its hands forming a hand seal.

Magnificent fireball technique!

The raging flames surged forth; although the difficulty was low, their power was immense, and they required no control whatsoever.

After a fireball, he covered his eyes with his hands.

We're almost at our limit.

but.

We can't give up yet!

As Itachi pondered this, a sword sliced ​​through the fireball.

Chiba weaved through the flames, arriving directly a short distance in front of him, and then—

A punch came from below, striking from a distance.

With the Super Strength Technique combined with Sage Chakra, a single blow shattered the bones of the Susanoo, which had recovered somewhat. Chiba held Samehada in his other hand.

at this time.

One after another, fireballs flew out from his hand, spinning in the chakra flow of the Super Strength Technique, transforming into streaks of fire meteors.

The swirling airflow, carrying flames, made its trajectory unpredictable.

Even more terrifying.

Holding Samehada in his hand, Chiba was fearless in the face of any ninjutsu.

Itachi dared not use Tsukuyomi.

Chiba's powerful spiritual energy rendered his Tsukuyomi ineffective, but at the last moment, he wanted to know the whole story.

however.

Chiba's speed instantly doubled.

Itachi tried to see clearly, but he could no longer see clearly. He used his eye techniques and Susanoo in succession, pushing his power and eye strength to the limit.

His eyesight deteriorated very rapidly.

next moment.

Samehada swept across his body.

Next.

A swarm of insects flew in.

The parasites have arrived.

The White Zetsu clone remained silent, watching as Itachi's shattered Susanoo was consumed by the parasitic insects, and finally, the Susanoo turned into a phantom and disappeared from Itachi's body.

The weasel fell from the sky.

His chakra was drained, and his bodily functions had ceased.

Bai Jue dared not approach.

but.

No one could survive ninjutsu of that level, not even the genius Itachi Uchiha, since his opponent was the far more terrifying Chiba Yagyu.

Such speed and strength...

Perhaps only Madara Uchiha back then could kill him.

Bai Jue divided his mind and body to think.

As for Obito...

He didn't believe Obito could defeat Chiba.

If it were Obito, his Byakugan wouldn't have been taken away last time, and he could have killed Chiba directly in Kirigakure, and none of the subsequent events would have happened.

The current situation.

It seems the plan cannot proceed as originally intended.

The White Zetsu clone watched as Chiba commanded the parasitic insects to continue devouring Itachi's body, and a chill ran down its spine.

This truly means not giving them even the slightest chance.

He was pondering how to save him when, in the next moment, a shadow silently crept closer.

The white Zetsu clone trembled instantly.

Not good!

He immediately disappeared into the ground.

next moment.

With one punch, the area around where he was hiding cracked open, and powerful chakra pierced through the earth, striking straight into the deepest part.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, a bloody hole was punched through White Zetsu's body—

He narrowly escaped a fatal blow, quickly recovered from his injuries using his body's functions, and then dived deeper.

"pity."

The White Zetsu clone heard a whisper.

It was a sigh like that of a demon, one he never wanted to hear again in his life.

……

Another place.

Just as Kisame was about to kill Konoha's ANBU with a single strike, Chojuro blocked him with his sword.

"Flounder, and also, the Fifth Mizukage."

Kisame Hoshigaki bared his sharp teeth and sneered, "What, has the Mizukage-sama gone to serve Konoha now?"

"Heh, Kisame, such words are not enough to provoke me. Kirigakure is weak, so dealing with a traitor like you does require Konoha's help."

Mei Terumi did not deny it, "But isn't the one who started all of this the very person you're currently serving?"

"It's undeniable that he did manipulate things, but the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist didn't die because of him; it was Konoha that killed them."

Kisame sneered, but secretly he was looking for a way out.

however.

He was looking for a way out, and Neji and Mei Terumi were also stalling for time and blocking his escape route.

At the moment Kisame Hoshigaki tried to escape.

Mei Terumi unleashed a Lava Release technique, spreading it all around, while Neji instantly teleported forward, and then—

Fireballs burst from his fingertips and shot towards Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame was indeed greatly affected by losing Samehada. His previous skill in absorbing Samehada was no longer effective, making him less convenient in battle.

but.

His chakra reserves are still terrifying.

Faced with an attack from four people, he knew he had no advantage and had to modify the surrounding terrain to suit his own situation.

then.

The next moment, he formed a hand seal and slapped his hand together swiftly.

however.

Just then, a figure approached in an instant.

Kisame's pupils contracted.

This is?

As he was pondering this, he saw a bone spur appear in the other person's palm.

Then——

Dance of the Willows!

Physical skills.

Although not as fast as Chiba, it was still incredibly amazing and terrifying.

This kind of bone...

"The Corpse Bone Vein? I didn't expect there to still be Corpse Bone Vein practitioners alive!"

Kisame was terrified.
