Naruto Paradise

"Hoshigaki Kisame? It's said that the guy who assassinated the Daimyo of the Land of Water and killed his fellow Kirigakure villagers was called this."

Yuhi Kurenai remembered that she had seen the other party's information in the ninja roster.

One of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village.

That big sword is one of the seven ninja swords unique to the Hidden Mist Village, right?

No wonder it exudes an ominous chakra.

And like Uchiha Itachi, this guy is also an S-rank rebel ninja.

"What is the purpose of ninjas like you appearing on the border of the Land of Fire?"

Since it seems that communication is possible, Xihihong decided to get some information first.

As for whether she could leave here alive, she hadn't thought about it that far. She just took the opportunity to continue signaling her disciples to go first during the conversation.

But no one, whether it was the Uchiha Kage, Hinata, or Shino, chose to escape.

This made her feel both touched and angry.

"Our target is not you, but Konoha."

As a double agent, Uchiha Itachi certainly had no awareness of keeping information secret for the Akatsuki organization.

"However, in order not to alert the enemy, I have no choice but to kill you all here."

"The target is Konoha?"

Kurenai Yuhi was surprised by the answer, but what surprised her even more was Uchiha Itachi's extremely fast hand seal speed.

Oops, I can't see his seals clearly...

What type of ninjutsu would it be?

"Get out of here!"

Although he did not open the Sharingan, the Uchiha Kage was able to see through Uchiha Itachi's ninjutsu intentions by relying on his Byakugan's ability to see through chakra.

With so much chakra, it must be a large-scale ninjutsu!

-

Fire Escape·The great fire is extinguished!

As if recognizing the firelight he encountered on the road that day as the Uchiha Kage in front of him, Uchiha Itachi also performed the same ninjutsu.

In an instant, the entire wide street was filled with orange flames.

"It's even bigger than what Ying unleashed that day!"

Looking at the raging flames below that turned the streets into a black patch, Xihihong, who jumped onto the roof with his three disciples, couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"It's not over yet, be careful behind you!"

Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

Uchiha Itachi's rapid hand seal formation speed allowed him to release two ninjutsu at the same time after releasing the Great Fire Extinguishing Technique.

Moreover, it is a wind and fire escape technique that can enhance the power of each other.

Boom!

The Haolong Fire shattered the roof that everyone was standing on, and the subsequent wind escape blew the tiles in front of them into flying feathers.

"Hinata!"

Hinata, who had nowhere to stand, was soon blown away by the strong wind created by the wind escape technique.

"Where are you looking?"

Just as Shino was about to go and support Hinata, he discovered that there was a bandaged sword above his head.

He quickly dodged sideways, but—

The sharp spikes of the big knife that emerged from the bandages still scratched his chest and cut off the chakra he had just accumulated in his body to cultivate the insects.

“W-What’s going on!?”

Shino, who was about to fight back with insects, couldn't believe that his chakra would be depleted in an instant.

Boom!

He himself was kicked off the roof by the other party's swift kick.

Then it slammed heavily into a thick wall.

"Even though they're just Genin, those bugs are still pretty annoying."

Kisame shook off the black bugs on his Samehada sword that had died because their chakra had been sucked away with some disgust.

"Shino..."

Looking at her disciple lying on the ground, unknown whether he was dead or alive, Kurenai Yuhi, who had just dodged Uchiha Itachi's ninjutsu, could only bite the bullet and attack.

No matter what, she must die before her disciples!

However, she was originally good at illusion, but now she had to use physical skills to fight against Hoshigaki Kisame, and soon she was at a disadvantage.

Not to mention that there was Uchiha Itachi who was eyeing him covetously.

"Looks like it's almost over."

Without even releasing his complete Samehada, Hoshigaki Kisame had already knocked Kurenai off the roof.

I thought the Jounin of Konoha Village would be quite powerful, but I didn't expect them to be so weak...

To be honest, he was getting a little boring playing.

"The end? That's not certain."

Rasengan!

Uchiha Kage suddenly emerged from the roof of the ruined house and appeared at Kisame's feet with a blue ball.

After saving Hinata who was blown away by the wind escape, he has been lurking nearby.

Now I finally have the opportunity.

"This jutsu?"

Uchiha Itachi, who was standing on the roof on the other side as a spectator, recognized the ninjutsu in the hands of Uchiha Kage.

This guy who unexpectedly appeared in the Uchiha clan’s territory that year...is indeed not an ordinary person.

"That's a surprise. I thought you had escaped."

Kisame subconsciously held Samehada across his body, ready to withstand the Rasengan in the hand of Uchiha Kage.

"But with this kind of ninjutsu...huh!?"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi, who was standing not far away, subconsciously wanted to remind Kisame when he saw this, but he held back.

boom!

The blue Rasengan was heavily imprinted on the blade of the Samehada sword. Then, a violent, rotating impact force instantly penetrated the sword and acted directly on Hoshigaki Kisame's body.

puff!

Kisame, who was blown away by the swirling airflow, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Chapter 28: Cleaning Up the House

"This knife is really troublesome."

Looking at Kisame who recovered after a short while while holding Samehada's sword tail, Uchiha Kage frowned slightly.

Not only does it have the ability to absorb chakra, but it can also use the absorbed chakra to feed back to the host and heal injuries.

"You're being careless, Kisame."

After glancing faintly at Kisame who had stood up again, Uchiha Itachi opened his Sharingan and looked at the boy opposite with more curiosity.

It was Itachi Uchiha's consistent ethics to remember the appearance of the person before killing him, but the name Uchiha Kage and his appearance did not exist in the records of the Uchiha clan.

So when Uchiha Itachi later learned from Danzo that he had missed a child, he was very confused.

Could it be that the mysterious masked man from that night was deliberately left behind as a pawn planted in Konoha?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi wanted to keep the young man here even more.

"Pressure Masne, that jutsu just now."

Even though Samehada absorbed some of it, the remaining power still caused Kisame great pain.

"The Uchiha clan is indeed full of geniuses."

"Yeah, but the most outstanding genius is still the guy next to you who wiped out his entire clan."

Although it didn't matter to the Uchiha Kage whether the Uchiha clan was annihilated or not, when one thought about Uchiha Itachi's act of genocide, even as an outsider, it was difficult to have any good feelings towards this ungrateful person who killed his entire clan.

"Itachi Uchiha."

Uchiha Kage faced Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan without showing any weakness.

-

"Shino-san, how are you?"

Hinata found Aburame Shino covered in blood in the ruins.

"It's...it's okay, just a superficial wound."

Shino Aburame struggled to stand up from the ground, and with Hinata's help, she used a bandage to stop the bleeding from the wound.

Just looking at the devastated streets, he suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

In front of ordinary bandits, he could beat a group of them to a pulp even with just physical skills.

But in front of a true elite ninja, he could hardly withstand even the aftermath of a ninjutsu attack.

Sometimes the gap between ninjas is even greater than the gap between ninjas and ordinary people.

"You two, stay here and don't move. The teacher will find a way to defeat them."

After seeing that both disciples were safe, Xihihong, who had crawled out from another ruin, also felt relieved.

Although she was a little dusty, Xihihong's condition was not affected at all.

Moreover, she had found it difficult to win before because she could not find the opportunity to cast her signature illusion when facing two S-rank rebel ninjas.

But now with the Uchiha Kage standing in front of her, she saw hope of winning.

Humph, that stinky disciple is fine, but even this shark dares to look down on me, a Konoha Jonin?

"Teacher, I can still..."

Because of the protection of Uchiha Kage, Hinata was even less injured than Kurenai Yuhi.

"Hinata! If we go up there, we'll only hold them back. Let's just follow the teacher's instructions."

Aburame Shino called out to Hinata who was about to go forward.

They have no way of intervening in such a battle now.

It would be better to wait patiently until the winner is decided before making any plans.

"Um……"

Hinata stopped walking but continued to stare at the battle not far away without blinking.

If Ying encounters danger, she will never back down.

But what Shino-san said is also true. Right now, I am only holding Ying-san back...

-

Things in the world are so coincidental.

In order to avoid the Konoha ninja who was suspected of being on a mission from the Land of Fire, Uchiha Itachi specifically took Kisame to Konoha Village, thinking that there would be no possibility of meeting them.
