Naruto: I can synthesize psychic beasts

Itachi smiled helplessly and said, "There's nothing I can do. Although I've only worked for a few days, the workload is indeed huge. And this time, there are many more things that need to be dealt with than usual." After that, Itachi picked up a string of three-color meatballs and stuffed them into his mouth, as if trying to relieve his tired body and mind.

At this time, Izuna suddenly said: "Yes, I used to be a subordinate of the Anbu, but later I left there." Izuna nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "In this case, I have something I want to ask you for help."

Seeing your confusion, he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything dangerous." Itachi thought about it, then said, "Okay, I'll do my best to help you find that book." Hearing this, Izuna said gratefully, "Thank you, Itachi."

Itachi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we are all friends, and we should help each other." After that, Itachi stood up and prepared to leave the dumpling shop.

"This meeting has been successfully concluded! Thank you all for your cooperation and support. If there are no further matters, we will disband this meeting. Now, please return to your posts, ninja, and continue to contribute to the prosperity of Konoha!"

The Konoha ninja jonin who sat at the main seat ended the meeting with a meaningful tone.

Uchiha Fugaku, this important figure, every word he said was so steady and full of wisdom that impressed everyone present.

In the conference room, there were about a dozen ninjas from different countries, some of them were Chunin and some were Jonin. These people represented the elite forces of each ninja village.

However, regrettably,

As the jonin left, the others also left, only two ninjas stayed where they were and did not leave with the crowd. These two ninjas were Itachi and Shisui.

Shisui seemed to notice something was wrong with Itachi. She gently patted her friend's shoulder and asked with concern, "Itachi-kun, you seemed a little taciturn in today's meeting. This is not like you normally. Is there anything troubling you?"

Itachi is a very talented ninja, and his intelligence is among the best among his peers.

However, at this moment, he frowned, as if he had a kind of worry that was difficult to get rid of. This situation has been going on since the beginning of the meeting and it remained the same after the meeting ended.

Shisui was very concerned about this, and she hoped to help Itachi solve his troubles. So, she asked again: "Is it because of Sasuke?"

Itachi wanted to make an excuse to get out of this, but Shisui beat him to it and said what he thought: "I think, of course, if it involves confidential matters between you brothers, then you naturally don't need to disclose it to me."

Hearing this, Itachi could only sigh helplessly and sit down again. He also let go of his hand that was holding his sleeve and sat upright on the chair.

What kind of secrets are hidden in the inner world of the human being?

Can he find a solution to the problem with Shisui's help?

"It's Sasuke! He's going to attack Konoha?" Shisui's voice was filled with shock and worry. Upon hearing this news, Itachi sighed and slowly sat back down. Shisui also withdrew his grasping hands and sat upright in front of him.

"Well, let me tell you something about Sasuke. This matter is not particularly secret, and you should have heard of it." After adjusting his mood, he began to tell the story.

"Oh, I see. Of course I know that descendant from the Uchiha clan of Konoha, who even became a Chunin of Konoha Village. However, later it was rumored that he betrayed Konoha, and recently, I heard..." Shisui knew Sasuke's situation well.

"That's right. But he is no longer the same as before. He was successfully defeated. I firmly believe that he will launch a fierce attack on Konoha soon." Itachi's tone was firm and powerful.

"So..." Shisui's heart tightened.

"Therefore, I hope to stop him before he attacks Konoha." Itachi's eyes revealed a firm determination.

"Since you already have such an idea, then be brave and realize it." Shisui thought for a moment and decided to support Itachi.

Even though they were once friends, if Sasuke betrayed the village, their relationship would only turn into hostility and they would fight each other.

"I understand that. However, Lord Hokage did not accept my suggestion." Itachi's face was a little heavy.

"Why?" surprised.

"Because she thinks my motives are not pure enough." Answer honestly.

How could the motives be impure if he wanted to protect the village and eliminate the traitors?

"Indeed. I am ready to bear this 'sin' alone, and it is precisely because of this that Hokage-sama rejected my request."

"I see. So, are you mentally prepared?" Shisui's eyes revealed deep concern.

......

Chapter 796: Akatsuki's Path

"Alas! You're really worried about my friends! Perhaps it's because I'm so uneducated that I can't understand the deep friendship between you two?"

Having said that, Izuna looked at Itachi with a concerned look, hoping to catch some information from his expression.

However, Itachi's face was filled with deep melancholy and determination, and that cold determination seemed to be able to infect everyone around him through the air.

"Well... since you have made this difficult decision, as your friend, I am willing to fully support you." Izuna said gently.

Hearing this, Itachi's eyes brightened slightly and he smiled gratefully.

"Thank you, Izuna. I know this is hard for you to accept, but I have thought about it for a long time and tried all kinds of ways. The final conclusion I came to is - to join forces with Shisui." Itachi's tone was firm and decisive, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Oh? I see. The bond between you will be gone, and you won't have to endure the pain of losing a friend. At the same time, the grudge will disappear with his passing, never to be mentioned again. This really is a great idea that kills two birds with one stone."

Izuna sat there quietly, looking at Itachi, as if she was re-examining him. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

"Uh... Is there something weird on my face?" Itachi touched his cheek awkwardly.

"It's nothing, I just think you have such a manly side." Izumi said with a smile.

"Yes, after all, the fact that someone like you who is afraid of trouble can make such a decision shows that you have made up your mind to take this path." Izuna explained seriously.

Itachi nodded in agreement.

He knew that as a ninja, he needed to take on more responsibilities and obligations. Although this made him feel a little troubled, he decided to face it bravely.

"Now that we have decided to take on this important task, we can no longer shrink back. However, you also need to grasp the right degree. It is best to discuss it with other companions. It is not pleasant to bear all the pressure alone, and it is easy to be misunderstood by others." Izumi reminded earnestly.

"Well, I'll think about it carefully." Itachi nodded slightly in agreement.

"Then don't frown all the time. You have to work harder in the next campaign against the Akatsuki organization. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise I will teach you a lesson." Izuna was very happy. She patted his shoulder and grinned from ear to ear.

Itachi rubbed his shoulder which was hurt by the slap, and couldn't help muttering to himself: This woman is too strong, she almost broke my shoulder.

"However, should we discuss this matter with other people?" Itachi looked at the scenery outside the window, his heart filled with endless melancholy.

How can I seek help from acquaintances in this kind of situation?

Especially those fellow villagers who once fought side by side. Although they are now enemies, they have had friendship for so many years. When faced with a life-or-death decision, can they really be so cruel as to take action?

Thinking of this, Itachi couldn't help but shook his head and thought: Telling them these thoughts will probably only add to my own troubles.

Just then, there was a light knock on the door.

Itachi turned his head to see a figure standing at the door, tapping lightly with his fingers, catching his attention.

The man had a faint smile on his face and was looking at him silently.

"Hello, I am the ANBU directly under the Fourth Hokage. I need you to come over for a favor."

"understood."

......

In that fortress that has stood firm for thousands of years, the ninjas have already established their foothold in the midst of storms.

However, behind this seemingly calm situation, there is a hidden undercurrent. The Akatsuki organization has now split into four major factions, each acting independently and competing with each other.

First of all, we have to mention the orthodox power led by the Nagato faction. The core figures of this faction include Nagato Konan and more than half of the Rain Ninja.

They firmly support Tendo Pain and form a strong cohesive force with him as the center.

Secondly, we should focus on the conspiracy faction headed by Black Zetsu A Fei. The leader of this faction is A Fei.

Despite his identity issues, Uchiha Obito's influence cannot be underestimated.

Furthermore, the core members, led by Hiruko, are also not to be overlooked. They hold key positions in various important departments and enjoy a high reputation among the people. They uphold the traditions of ninja and maintain the stability of the Akatsuki organization.

Finally, we have to mention Kisame.

This faction is relatively neutral, and their stance often changes with the struggles of other factions, so they are jokingly called the "pension faction."

Their strength is relatively weak, but in some cases, their existence also has certain significance.

Among these four factions, Black Absolute has a clear understanding of the current situation.

He knew very well that his faction had limited development potential and would quickly collapse, or even be swallowed up by other factions.

In addition, Nagato has a deep ruling foundation. No matter what kind of blow they suffer, they can survive tenaciously and look for new opportunities.

Black Zetsu and Afei are representatives of the conspiracy faction. They act in a radical way, often breaking the rules and using violence to get what they want.

Being one of us, and showing a positive attitude towards the outside world, can indeed give people a sense of security. At least, that's what Mr. Kisame thinks.

At this moment, Mr. Kisame was following Mr. Black Zetsu's footsteps and heading towards the Rain Village Punishment Room.

They chose not a broad road, but a winding path. This path had been taken over by Black Zetsu since then, becoming their exclusive access.

Despite this, when Kisame set foot on this path, he still wore a black robe, wrapping himself tightly, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed.

It was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, but Kisame's heart was filled with gloom. He knew full well the risks that would come with contacting a figure like Mr. Black Zetsu.

However, Kisame did not back down.

He knew that this was the only way to realize his ideals.

He was willing to take the risk because he believed that only in this way could he truly change the current situation in the ninja world and fight for the rights that innocent lives deserve.

In this world, everyone has his or her own mission and responsibility.

Kisame is the hero who dares to take responsibility and pursue his dreams.

His story will be forever engraved in the history of the ninja world, inspiring future generations to keep moving forward.

As night fell, in a deserted place, faint footsteps were heard from one side of the maximum punishment cell.

Walking in front was the low-key and stern-faced Kisame. He glanced down at the young man following behind him and frowned.

This young man is the extremely popular Mr. Beiluhu.

"Why is this guy here too..."

They passed through the darkness and finally arrived at the side door of the maximum punishment cell.

The shadow of the massive building was like a giant beast, swallowing them all up. Before officially stepping into the dark entrance, Black Zetsu paused, turned around, and looked at Kisame seriously.

"Kisame, have you really thought it through? Once you enter here, there's no turning back. It's still not too late to give up now." Black Zetsu's tone was full of worry, his smile had disappeared, replaced by deep worry.

However, Mr. Kisame nodded firmly, his eyes revealing immense determination. "I understand, but right now, I can only fulfill Mr. Itachi's dream with your help." His voice was calm and powerful, as if he had made all the necessary preparations.

Before this, Kisame had experienced a fierce inner struggle.

He knew very well that apart from Lord Nagato, Black Zetsu was probably the only one who could undertake this task alone.

However, the adults firmly refused him. Although he understood that the adults cared about him and did not want him to bear this heavy responsibility alone, now was obviously not the time to hesitate.

Mr. may launch a revenge action at any time, and he must be fully prepared before that.

And right now, the only person who can help him is Lord Black Zetsu. He absolutely cannot miss this rare opportunity!
