This Naruto is a player

"Perfect, this way we can take them down!"

Seeing that one of the two opposite him was completely unable to resist, and the other was no longer able to resist the two of them.

Kisame raised his greatsword Samehada, ready to strike, but in the next instant, the river surface surged, and a water dragon instantly took shape.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

A powerful water dragon struck, and Kisame and Itachi could only jump to avoid it!

After the attack was over, Itachi Uchiha noticed that there was a familiar figure in the team that originally consisted of two people.

"Kakashi-senpai, it's been a long time!"

Chapter 181 You're Very Daring

"Kakashi-senpai, it's been a long time."

Kakashi ignored Itachi's greeting.

Kakashi gave him a cold and wary look, and seeing that the two opposite him had no intention of attacking, he then looked at Shigaraki Tanuki, who was being helped up by Aburame Ryoma.

Shigaraki Tanuki wore an abstract panda head mask, obscuring his true facial features.

Judging from his limp body, he has clearly fallen under Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu and is still in a daze.

"I didn't expect that you could still stand up after being hit by Mr. Itachi's move."

Kisame exclaimed in admiration.

Hearing this heartfelt agreement, Kakashi's heart sank.

Is the effect of this illusion really that powerful?

Kakashi carefully examined Shigaraki Tanuki and thankfully, she seemed to be alright.

He then breathed a sigh of relief and remembered the purpose of his trip.

After parting ways with Naruto, Kakashi began tracking Itachi and Naruto. However, due to limitations in his own numbers and strength, he remained hidden and did not directly intervene.

However, just now, the sudden appearance of these two disrupted Kakashi's plan.

They wore matching black suits and bizarre panda head masks.

Kakashi had heard people on the street mention this outfit yesterday; it's Root's new uniform.

Root is currently an organization under Naruto's command.

These two should be under Naruto's command.

Kakashi initially wanted to help them, but considering the Root's past misdeeds and the fact that Naruto had only been in charge for a day, he suppressed his restless heart and chose to remain hidden to see what the two were up to.

This period of infiltration has lasted until now.

"Are you OK?"

Kakashi asked with some concern.

He had initially suspected that the Root organization might even be in league with the Akatsuki organization, but now it seems that he had worried too much.

"nothing."

At this moment, Shigaraki Tanuki was extremely weak, as if someone had forcibly drained 2 liters of blood from her.

His voice sounds like that of a man suffering from kidney deficiency.

Furthermore, the only feeling Shigaraki Tanuki can have is—pain!

It hurts all the time!

My brain feels like it's filled with a thousand needles! It's about to explode!

but,

Shigaraki Tanuki has no regrets!

Naruto-sama! My mission is complete!!!

Suddenly remembering something, he struggled to take a blue pill from his pocket, lifted his mask, and put it in his mouth.

The Xiaoyao Pill melts in your mouth.

In an instant, it transformed into a cool, healing stream, soothing the brain that had been aching to the extreme.

"Ah~~~"

The raccoon dog cried out in a mesmerizing voice.

I felt much better instantly.

"You two, close your eyes and don't make eye contact with Itachi Uchiha. If you do, you're finished!"

Kakashi gave a warning.

In his view, the reason why Itachi Uchiha was caught using genjutsu in the Root Society was because they didn't know how to defend against it.

That's not like him!

Having a Sharingan is enough to allow him to contend with Itachi Uchiha!

As soon as the warning left his lips, Kakashi realized that his words were somewhat superfluous.

These two seem to have extensive experience fighting against the Uchiha clan.

They all kept their heads down, refusing to make eye contact with Itachi Uchiha.

It turns out I was just wasting my emotions.

Kakashi then raised his head, staring warily at the person opposite him.

Especially Itachi Uchiha!

His headband over his left eye had already been raised, and now, in the socket of his left eye, was a Sharingan with three tomoe.

"Oh? These eyes."

Kisame hesitated for a moment, then, confirming that he wasn't mistaken, said, "This is truly astonishing. I never imagined that someone other than Itachi would possess eyes like these. So it's the Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi?"

"I should be the one who's surprised!"

Kakashi, in order to counter Itachi's genjutsu, had his right eye tightly closed and his left eye open. "I didn't expect it to really be you guys, especially you, Uchiha Itachi!"

He had only suspected it before, but now it has been truly confirmed.

"And you."

Kakashi's left eye darted around, looking at the strangely-looking Kisame. "The weirdo from Kirigakure—Kisame Hoshigaki!"

"My apologies, I am truly honored that you even know my name," Kisame replied.

From his words, it's clear that Kisame Hoshigaki is a polite person, which is quite incongruous with his terrifying appearance.

Kakashi glanced at the large sword in Kisame's hand and instantly recognized it as the weapon that had just caused the unknown damage to Shigaraki Tanuki.

Is it Samehada?

Kakashi analyzed the situation silently.

"He's someone I should beat up!"

Kisame lifted the heavy Samehada with one hand, placing it between the two, silently affirming Kakashi's strength.

However, Itachi stopped him from doing so.

"Stop, Kisame!"

Uchiha Itachi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and seeing his astonished look, Uchiha Itachi explained, "You won't gain anything by fighting him, and besides, we've already been discovered, and the other ninjas will be here soon!"

Itachi Uchiha's expression was grave.

As far as he knew, the root system was not a simple organization.

Even under Naruto's management, it won't be simple.

The two of them have been discovered by Root, and with so much time having passed, there must be many more Root ninjas on their way.

"Don't forget why we're here!" Itachi Uchiha persuaded Kisame, while also hinting at something.

"Then tell me why you've come here!"

Hearing the two talking, Kakashi chimed in.

"We're just here to find something."

Itachi Uchiha then looked at Kakashi.

Finally, someone brought this up. We can't let him be as stupid as that Root ninja Shigaraki Tanuki and bluntly state his purpose, can we?

Looking for something?

Kakashi muttered to himself, "It's pretty much what I guessed."

However, the other members of Akatsuki might be heading straight for Naruto, while the person in front of him might not.

Kakashi's muttering made Itachi Uchiha suddenly realize that his answer was a bit too hasty. After carefully considering the current situation, he realized that his side was not in a superior position, and it was not the time to talk nonsense.

After calculating the time, Itachi Uchiha's eyes turned cold, and he silently apologized.

"I'm not like Kisame!"

Seeing Kakashi staring straight at him with his single three-tomoe Sharingan eye, Itachi Uchiha feigned admiration, "You have a lot of guts, Kakashi-senpai."

"what?"

Kakashi still hadn't figured out what was different.

On the other side, Uchiha Itachi's three-tomoe Sharingan were spinning wildly, eventually forming a bizarre pattern.

"This is!!!"

Kakashi guessed what it was the moment he saw it.

Is it coming soon?

After this period of exploration, and especially with the popularization of knowledge by the Daily Ninja World, almost everyone in the ninja world knows that among the bloodline limits of the Uchiha clan, there is an even higher evolution beyond the three-tomoe Sharingan.

That is—the Mangekyou Sharingan.
