Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 411 Brothers' Battle

Sometimes the power of a group is very strong, but relatively speaking, there are also things behind it that need to be protected.

The Akatsuki organization, with its special sensory abilities and high-altitude reconnaissance, was able to know the entire team that was carrying out a mission outside the Hidden Cloud Village.

As one of the five great ninja villages, the village receives a large number of missions every day, which creates problems that are simply unavoidable.

Either the entire village shrinks, drastically reducing the workload, or we can have Yukito come out and act as bait for a while.

However, it is clear that both the Hidden Cloud Village and the Akatsuki organization are fully prepared.

Because of something Uchiha Kumo said back then, the Fourth Raikage, along with himself, Killer Bee, and Darui, set out.

The Akatsuki organization was fully present, and even Konan, who was not out in the open, was secretly protecting Nagato's body.

With the Six Paths of Pain united, the advantage that Cloud Village had maintained was now completely gone.

The appearance of the six pairs of Rinnegan even frightened the Fourth Raikage.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

With a flash of movement, the Six Paths of Pain regrouped after defeating the enemy, and even Deidara in mid-air did not launch another attack at this moment.

With an expressionless face, Pain looked at the Fourth Raikage: "Hand over your Jinchuriki, and you may leave. This is a gift from God..."

A gift?

The Fourth Raikage's entire body crackled with lightning. Although he had served as Kage for over ten years, which had greatly improved his impulsiveness, his nature remained impulsive.

What's more, this guy in front of me actually said it was a blessing?

"asshole!"

A thunderclap resounded, and the Fourth Raikage, who was about to thrust forward, suddenly noticed something strange about his neck.

"Hehehe...It's done!"

Laughter erupted as Hidan, who had just been rescued, completed the blood-stained pattern beneath his feet.

He looked at the Fourth Raikage and said, "It really hurts to have your head cut off! You'll feel that pain soon too."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and took out a steel shovel, then stabbed it into his neck.

"puff!"

Blood spurted out, and the Fourth Raikage was stunned.

How could that be?

Looking down, where did the injury on his neck come from?

The next moment, his gaze fell on Hidan opposite him.

This guy...

His physical skills are terrible, yet he wields a weapon with a very wide attack range. Was he able to join Akatsuki because of this secret technique?

"Raikage-sama!"×N

Amidst gasps of surprise, the Fourth Raikage reached out and stopped the person who was about to rush over.

At this moment, he truly felt the crisis—the crisis of Cloud Village's annihilation.

Such an enemy, clearly those with the highest status and the Rinnegan, haven't even made a move yet, and the mere members are already so troublesome.

Will Uchiha Kumo... appear?

Darui and Yukito exchanged a glance.

The two men frowned, pondering what had just happened. Killer Bee and the others, being high-ranking members of the Cloud Village, knew perfectly well that even standing in front of the Fourth Raikage at this moment would be futile.

The guy opposite him pierced his own throat, and the Raikage suffered the same injury. This situation looked exactly like a unique secret technique, the kind that couldn't be stopped.

"Hehehe..."

Across from them, Hidan's laughter rang out again.

He reached out, grabbed the steel shovel, and pulled it out with a swift motion.

"For something so small to pierce through the entire head and fall off, that's incredibly difficult. So... how's the heart?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the steel spike plunged into his heart.

"Whoosh!"

An octopus tail emerged from the ground and wrapped around Hidan's arm, but it did not dare to lift him up to attack.

The most obvious thing about that last moment was that the older brother's body was connected. Given that the other party can revive even after death, it's clear that it's impossible to attack this person before figuring out the situation.

"Fourth Raikage, this is the last chance God is giving you!"

The aura of Pain, who seemed like a god, was high above and had already issued an ultimatum.

The Fourth Raikage, clutching his throat, stood up again, his hoarse voice ringing out: "As a Kage, it is natural for me to protect everyone in the village. The enemy that invaded Kumogakure will eventually be destroyed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Samehada swung its sword and tore off Hidan's octopus tail.

Pain replied indifferently, "In that case, you will face divine punishment."

"Buzz..."

Sasuke Uchiha, who had been observing all along, had his six-pointed star Mangekyou Sharingan spinning in his eyes.

The Amaterasu Fire appeared, but it did not attack Pain; instead, it appeared around Hidan.

Under Kagutsuchi's command, black flames completely surrounded Hidan.

"Hehehe..."

Hidan looked at the black flames in front of him: "Are you trying to use this to burn the Fourth Raikage to ashes?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the Amaterasu Black Flame directly. The flames swept up and enveloped his forearm.

"It really hurts... hahaha!"

Hidan's arrogant laughter abruptly stopped.

Because at this moment, the Fourth Raikage opposite him showed no signs of having his arm burned.

"It seems my guess was right."

Sasuke smiled. "The pattern formed by blood on the ground should also be one of the conditions for activating your secret technique, right? Otherwise, no one would pay attention to rituals when facing a powerful enemy."

These words instantly reminded his teammates, who exchanged a glance, and several octopus tails burst from the ground, instantly destroying the pattern under Hidan's feet.

At the same moment, the Fourth Raikage, realizing he had recovered, unleashed another burst of lightning from his body and charged forward with a hand chop.

Shinra Tensei!

With just a stretch of his hand, the powerful repulsive force pushed away all people and objects, and some trees were even uprooted.

After the repulsive force stopped, a rhinoceros rammed into Sasuke from behind.

After being dodged, a figure suddenly attacked from a place that had not been noticed before.

"Bang!"

The chameleon's tongue collided with the long sword, and without hesitation, Sasuke severed it with a flash of light.

Just as he was about to give chase, a figure appeared, causing Sasuke to stop.

"Uchiha... Itachi!"

Standing before Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha said, "The resistance from Kumogakure is meaningless. Your resistance is futile, just like the Uchiha clan; your fate is already sealed..."

"shut up!"

The six-pointed star Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated, and Sasuke's gaze, fixed on Uchiha Itachi, was a mixture of hatred and complex emotions.

"What right do you have to mention the Uchiha clan?"

"No matter your reason, even if it's because of me, I cannot forgive you!"

Sasuke gripped his long sword, crackling with lightning: "So many people... so many of your clansmen were killed! Father and Mother, and the pancake vendor's family who always took such good care of us!"

"Children as young as five or six, newborns, their souls in the Pure Land, are all watching me now! Watching me avenge them!"

Itachi Uchiha remained expressionless, even though it seemed that Sasuke already knew everything.

Given that person's existence, it's not surprising that Sasuke would know these things.

However, it is clear that this is not a good place to have a conversation.

"If you want to know everything, come with me."

The weasel leaped up and headed into the woods.

At this moment, Sasuke was not driven to madness by hatred. He pressed the radio and said, "First point: the guy with the giant scythe has immortality. His special ability is related to the pattern under his feet. Before he used this secret technique, he bit the Raikage."

"Secondly: the black substance on each of the last five people could be seen as flowing chakra in the Sharingan's vision. And... they didn't show any emotion on their faces."

"Thirdly: The appearance of the summoned beast is strange; there may be another enemy."

"Finally... wait for me to come back!"

As he spoke, Sasuke headed toward Itachi Uchiha.

Meanwhile, those who had already taken action received intelligence support from Sasuke.

"Bang!"

The greatsword Samehada clashed with Darui's greatsword, and it was clear that Kisame's power was superior. At this moment, he even had time to glance in Itachi's direction.

So... has Itachi-san already made his decision?

He took his own brother's eyes and then returned here.

……

Two figures sped along, one in front of the other, through the dense forest.

Itachi Uchiha glanced back, then sped up again.

Although his vision was blurred, he was still able to avoid crashing into any giant tree by using his chakra perception.

Soon, the two had run more than ten kilometers.

Uchiha Itachi stopped by a river.

Looking at Sasuke, who had also stopped behind him, he turned around and took out a kunai.

"Bang!"

The long sword, crackling with lightning, clashed with the kunai, and the two began a duel of hand-to-hand combat.

With the aid of the Mangekyou Sharingan, the dynamic vision made their movements extremely strange, as if every attack was being seen through.

A minute later, Sasuke stepped back and quickly formed hand seals.

Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!

A flame, like a giant dragon, swept upwards. Itachi dodged it and formed hand seals as well, sending the fireball hurtling towards him.

The long sword fell, and the flames were cleaved apart by the lightning chakra.

"You...you've grown up very quickly."

Itachi's voice was weak: "You joined Kumogakure because of that person, right?"

Sasuke nodded; at this point, he did not recommend that the other party delay any longer.

"If Brother Yun were here, you wouldn't have any chance."

These words reminded Itachi of the fear of being dominated on the night of the massacre. Even Tobi was completely overwhelmed, let alone himself...

"Have you ever thought about going back to Konoha? After all, that's the village where the Uchiha should exist."

"hehe……"

Sasuke chuckled softly: "Why do you still talk about that village even now? But in your heart, the village has always been more important than your clan."

"Brother Yun is right, you're a complete lunatic! And a seriously ill one at that, you've lost all basic humanity!"

Itachi remained indifferent...

"Did that person also describe me that way? He must also be from the Uchiha clan, right? Although perhaps he wasn't from this world."

"If he were also an Uchiha from this world, he might have killed me before I could even make a move."

At this point, a hint of relaxation finally appeared on Itachi's face.

"At first, I wanted you to be able to grow up safely in Konoha. That way... your safety would be guaranteed until you grew up."

"After the Chunin Exams, I tested the waters with Kumogakure. Perhaps it was because of that person that you and I had to make different choices."

"No."

Sasuke interrupted him: "No matter what, after I know the whole truth, I will destroy Konoha! A village filled with darkness has no reason to exist!"

"The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi; Danzo Shimura of Root; and the Konoha high-ranking officials who targeted the Uchiha clan. They must pay for the blood debt of the Uchiha massacre with their lives!"

As he spoke, Sasuke raised the long sword in his hand, and lightning chakra suddenly erupted from it!

"Of course, you're one of them! A member of the Uchiha clan who massacred everyone, someone like you is simply unforgivable!"

Tears fell from the six-pointed star kaleidoscope.

Qilin!!

The lightning in the sky, caused by the previous Fire Dragon Technique, roared as it was drawn by the longsword.

"boom!!"

Lightning enveloped the surroundings, the intense brilliance even obscuring the sun.

Lightning enveloped Itachi Uchiha, while tears streamed down Sasuke's face.

Itachi Uchiha was the enemy who wiped out the entire Uchiha clan, but all the Uchiha could hate him except themselves.

Yes...except for myself!

But besides himself, who else will carry out the Uchiha's hatred?

My father and mother did not resist at that time, perhaps for their own reasons as well?

After the thunderous roar subsided and the dust settled, it did not kill Uchiha Itachi.

The orange half-body Susanoo perfectly enveloped Itachi Uchiha, protecting him from any harm.

Without hesitation, the longsword was once again crackling with lightning, and the blue Susanoo was also being condensed.

I have no right to hate you!

"But I now represent the spirits of the entire Uchiha clan! The spirits of Uncle Pancake and the other children!"

"You...must die!"

The long sword fell, and the battle between the two Susanoo began.

Each strike was like an earthquake, shaking the ground around them and even causing it to crack.

However, remaining in the shadow of their struggle, Masked Obito was watching the brothers' fight unfold before him.

"Haven't made a decision yet?"

White Zetsu emerged from the tree trunk: "Black Zetsu doesn't dare approach Uchiha Sasuke, so he had to send me to deliver the message."

Obito chuckled lightly: "As Madara Uchiha's will, you don't even dare to approach?"

White Zetsu shrugged: "That guy's power isn't that strong, after all, it's just a will. But I'm more curious about whether he can poop, and whether his poop is also completely black."

Ignoring the trash talk that followed, Obito kept his eyes fixed on the battle in front of him.

At this moment, he was also conflicted.

Itachi Uchiha's motivation for joining Akatsuki was certainly not pure, even though he invited him to join and personally wiped out the entire Uchiha clan.

But the other Uchiha Sasuke is also not an easy opponent.

Also... will that person who hasn't appeared for several years reappear?
