Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Meanwhile, all the members of the Akatsuki organization were extracting the tailed beast from Gaara's body inside the cave.

After noticing Yu Ming and the others' movements, Jue frowned and said, "They're here, not far from here."

Chapter 209 Itachi Uchiha Appears, Methods to Deal with the Sharingan

Payne asked, "Who are the people who came?"

Zetsu said, "Chiyo of Sunagakure."

Upon hearing this, Scorpion appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly he trembled.

Although he believed that it was the Third Kazekage who caused Sunagakure to participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasori assassinated the Third Kazekage.

However, Sasori still cares a lot about Chiyo.

After all, this was his only family member left in the world.

Zetsu continued, "And there's Kakashi Hatake from Konoha, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and that Yu Ming."

Upon hearing the names of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Yu Ming, Pain clearly frowned.

Both the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Yu Ming are frequently mentioned within the Akatsuki organization.

Sakura, naturally, was overlooked.

Pain said, "It will take us a long time to extract the One-Tailed Beast. Can someone stop them with that ninjutsu?"

After Pain finished speaking, Sasori frowned and said, "That ninjutsu can only unleash 30% of the user's power, so it probably won't be able to stop them."

Deidara laughed and said, "Scorpion-senpai, you seem to have overestimated the ninjas of Konoha."

However, before Deidara could finish speaking, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had been quiet all along, suddenly said solemnly, "I advise you to take this seriously. That guy named Yu Ming is no less powerful than Jiraiya."

When Kisame mentioned Jiraiya, Pain's expression clearly changed.

Jiraiya was a different person in his eyes; he was his former teacher.

Without Jiraiya, they wouldn't have the power they have today.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, however, were more interested in Yu Ming.

When facing Yu Ming, Kisame Hoshigaki was severely injured. If Itachi Uchiha hadn't left quickly, he might have even died on the spot.

Itachi Uchiha didn't refrain from attacking Yu Ming because Yu Ming was a Konoha ninja; rather, he genuinely lacked the confidence to defeat Yu Ming.

Deidara looked at Kisame Hoshigaki, his expression becoming more serious. "Why do you all seem so wary of this Yu Ming? He's just a kid who's only ten years old. Is there any need to be so afraid?"

The others didn't have any particular thoughts, because none of them had ever met Yu Ming; they had only heard of his name in the ninja world.

However, I don't expect him to be too weak, otherwise he wouldn't have such a big reputation in the ninja world.

Payne thought for a moment and asked, "Who is willing to stop them?"

Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame thought for a moment and said, "I'll go."

After Kisame Hoshigaki finished speaking, he looked at Itachi Uchiha.

"It seems that Mr. Itachi is still troubled about what happened last time."

Kisame Hoshigaki believes that Itachi Uchiha felt regretful because he hadn't fought Yu Ming last time.

In reality, Itachi Uchiha just wanted to see clearly what kind of person Yu Ming really was.

And indeed, he wanted to test just how strong Yu Ming really was.

It has been confirmed that Yu Ming's strength is at the Kage level, but what exactly constitutes that level is another matter.

Suppressing tailed beasts is something that almost every member of the Akatsuki organization can do.

It's quite remarkable that Yu Ming was able to severely injure Kisame Hoshigaki.

If he can't even beat Itachi Uchiha, then he's at a very strong level among Kage-level fighters.

If even someone with the Mangekyou Sharingan couldn't defeat him, then there are very few ninjas in the ninja world who could beat him, and very few people in the Akatsuki organization who could defeat him.

Although Pain didn't know much about Yu Ming, he was already quite concerned when Kisame Hoshigaki mentioned that he was a ninja as powerful as Jiraiya.

The two used clones, although they only had 30% of their original strength.

But that's enough.

In fact, Jue also discovered the appearance of Kaiban.

Then he said, "There's another squad called Matt Kai coming from another direction."

Payne then said, "Kisame, go and intercept this person."

"Itachi, go and intercept Kakashi and the others."

Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki both nodded.

As he was leaving, Itachi Uchiha said, "That guy named Guy is very strong, be careful."

Kisame Hoshigaki was somewhat surprised that Itachi Uchiha had personally addressed this issue, which meant that this person was truly strong.

Having teamed up with Itachi Uchiha for a long time, Kisame Hoshigaki knew very well that Itachi was not someone who would easily get his attention.

This only proves that this person must be very strong, and might even be able to defeat him.

After Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki disappeared from this place.

They then headed towards Yu Ming and Kai's groups.

Far from the cave, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki arrived in front of the two groups.

Uchiha Itachi stood in front of Yu Ming and the others as they walked.

After Yu Ming and the others saw Uchiha Itachi, Kakashi frowned and looked warily at Uchiha Itachi, who was standing dozens of meters away from them.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Kakashi frowned the moment he saw Itachi Uchiha.

He still remembers very clearly what happened three years ago when Itachi Uchiha made him bedridden for more than a month.

Itachi Uchiha's power still makes Kakashi shudder.

"Sakura, Naruto, whatever you do, don't look into his eyes."

Sakura and Naruto both frowned.

But she quickly closed her eyes.

Kakashi then opened his other eye, revealing his Sharingan.

He can now use the Mangekyou Sharingan in a rudimentary way.

Although he is still under great pressure, his Mangekyou Sharingan was activated when Rin Nohara died, but he can only barely use it now.

Unfortunately, his physique was simply not suited to the Sharingan. He couldn't even maintain the three-tomoe Sharingan for long, let alone the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kakashi didn't make Chiyo and Yumei close their eyes because he knew that both of them had ways to avoid being affected by Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu.

Upon seeing Uchiha Itachi, Yu Ming smiled and said, "So it's Uchiha Itachi. It's a real pity I didn't get to fight you last time."

Uchiha Itachi remained calm and looked at Yu Ming, saying, "Yu Ming, over the years, you have become very famous in the ninja world."

Chiyo asked with some curiosity, "Is this kid from the Uchiha clan?"

Yu Ming nodded.

After receiving Yu Ming's affirmation, Chiyo said, "We have our own methods for dealing with the Uchiha clan. We should work together."

Chiyo revealed without reservation how Sunagakure dealt with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Yu Ming's lips twitched slightly. "This method is not bad, but it probably won't work on Uchiha Itachi, because his Sharingan is very special. It's the Mangekyou Sharingan. He can cause hallucinations just by looking at it, and it also has offensive ninjutsu."

"This kind of illusion is not an ordinary illusion. It causes actual physical damage. Even Jonin who are affected by it will suffer a mental breakdown and die without professional treatment."

Upon hearing Yu Ming's words, Chiyo was taken aback. "I haven't heard of that before."

Chiyo had never seen the Mangekyou Sharingan before, because although Madara Uchiha was still alive in her time, she had never come into contact with it.

During the Second Shinobi World War, no one in the Uchiha clan possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan. In the Third Shinobi World War, Fugaku Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the Uchiha clan's battlefield was in the Land of Water, and he never displayed it.

Therefore, Chiyo never fought against a member of the Uchiha clan who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Chapter 210 Killing Itachi Uchiha's clone

Yu Ming looked at Uchiha Itachi and said calmly, "It is indeed a pity that I did not get to fight you last time, but in your current state, I don't think it is necessary to make a move, since you can't even activate your Mangekyou Sharingan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha knew that Yu Ming had already figured out his current state.

Yu Ming noticed it, but Kakashi and the others didn't.

So Kakashi frowned, glanced at Yu Ming, and hoped he would explain.

Yu Ming calmly smiled and said, "This is just something like a clone of him. His real body is not here at all. His current strength is definitely not the same as his real body. There is no need to worry about his Mangekyou Sharingan, because with his limited chakra, he cannot use the genjutsu that caused Kakashi-sensei to psychic before."

Upon hearing this, Naruto and Sakura opened their eyes.

"Not Itachi Uchiha?"

"Is this just a clone of him?"

Yu Ming nodded and explained to the two of them, "It's something like a clone, but it's probably much stronger than a clone."

"However, the fact that he can't use the Mangekyou Sharingan doesn't mean he can't use ordinary genjutsu."

Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu was top-notch.

Even a three-tomoe Sharingan can unleash terrifying genjutsu.

Of course, it had no effect on Yu Ming.

Even without using the Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu skills were still stronger than Kakashi's in his three-tomoe Sharingan state.

Yu Ming glanced at Kakashi.

67 Kakashi nodded. "It seems this is the first time the two of us have teamed up, Yu Ming."

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Although I think I can handle this on my own, it's true that I should be more cautious when facing this guy."

Sakura, standing to the side, frowned as she looked at Itachi Uchiha. "This person is Sasuke's older brother, Itachi Uchiha, the person Sasuke has always wanted to kill?"

Sakura knew why Sasuke so desperately wanted power and why he wanted to kill Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's brother.

It was because of him that Sasuke was willing to risk having his body taken over by Orochimaru and cooperate with him.
