The Mutant God in American Comics.

Although he didn't know why Obito, who was disguised as Afei, participated in the capture of the One-Tail, Richard's intuition told him that Obito must be planning something in secret.

Otherwise, Obito would definitely not have participated in the capture of the One-Tail.

The country of Sichuan.

The secret base of Akatsuki organization.

"There are 10 people moving quickly towards the secret base of Kawanokuni. They are moving very fast."

"One of them is Richard, the other seven are ninjas from Konoha, and there are two ninjas from the Sand Village."

He said to Payne, Konan and others.

After hearing his words, Pain, Konan and others who were jointly performing the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals frowned.

Excluding Orochimaru who has already left Akatsuki, in today's Akatsuki, the only two people who have fought against Richard are Nagato and Konan.

As for the others, they had heard of his name many times in the past three years, but had never fought against him.

To be precise, I have never even seen him.

"Richard isn't a ninja from Konoha, so why would he come to rescue the One-Tail Jinchuriki?"

Nagato controlled Pain and let Pain speak.

"From what I know, he has a very good relationship with the Fifth Hokage. It should be that the Fifth Hokage asked him for help."

Itachi replied immediately.

Although he left Konoha as a traitor and joined the Akatsuki organization, he usually paid close attention to the situation in Konoha.

"I heard that he opened a private firm in Konoha that accepts commissions from other people. Perhaps the Fifth Hokage commissioned him."

After Itachi finished speaking, Kisame's voice immediately rang out.

As Itachi's teammate, Kisame has extraordinary trust and respect for Itachi.

Although their relationship was not very good when they first joined Akatsuki, they even almost got into a fight because of a disagreement.

But after teaming up with Itachi, their relationship became better and better.

"Who did Konoha send here?"

Nagato asked while controlling Pain.

"Kakashi and Mai Dai Kai both brought their respective teams. I don't have much impression of the newcomers in Team 7, so I don't know their specific identities."

Jue replied immediately.

Although Neji and Rock Lee weren't very famous yet, Zetsu still recognized them.

In the Akatsuki organization, he is mainly responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

He knew everything about Neji, Rock Lee, and the other four rookies in the Hidden Village.

As for Sai.

There was no way he could recognize Sai, purely because Sai was a former member of Root and rarely showed his true identity to the outside world.

"It will take some time to seal the one-tail. Who is willing to go over and stop them?"

Payne's voice sounded again.

Although they are currently using the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals to seal the One-Tail, except for Sasori, Deidara, and Obito, everyone else is not in River Country.

And in the secret base of River Country, there are only Sasori and Deidara.

Obito, who was disguised as Afei, was driven out of the base by Sasori and Deidara because he was not yet an official member of the Akatsuki organization.

On the surface, it was the two of them who drove out Obito, who was chattering all the time and was not yet an official member.

But in reality, even if they didn't do that, Obito would find a reason to leave.

He didn't want to stay in the base for three days doing nothing and watching Sasori and Deidara use the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals to seal the One-Tail.

Although he could join in, he didn't intend to do so.

Because his current identity is A Fei, a newcomer who wants to join the Akatsuki organization, not Uchiha Madara.

"Since they are from Konoha, leave it to Kisame and I to handle."

Itachi said.

He had never met Richard, but he didn't like Richard at all.

To be precise, after knowing that Richard gave Sasuke to Orochimaru as a student, he, who was a brother complex, had a lot of resentment towards Richard.

If Sasuke took the initiative to find Orochimaru and asked him to be his disciple, he would have no objection.

Because it was Sasuke's own decision.

But the current situation is that Sasuke went to find Orochimaru because of Richard.

From Itachi's point of view, Richard's actions were equivalent to giving Sasuke to Orochimaru.

And Orochimaru has always had ambitions for the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

"Okay, then you two will handle it."

Nagato replied while controlling Pain.

Although he knew that even if Itachi and Kisame took action themselves, they would not be able to defeat Richard, but they did not need to defeat Richard now. They just needed to stop Richard and the others for a period of time.

After instructing Sasori to prepare two sacrifices, Nagato immediately performed the Elephant Transmigration Technique without any hesitation, and allocated part of Itachi and Kisame's chakra to the sacrifices.

As the Elephant Transformation Technique was performed, Scorpion's two subordinates immediately turned into the appearances of Itachi and Kisame.

Aside from looking identical, they also possess the same abilities as Itachi and Kisame.

Whether it was Itachi's Sharingan or Kisame's broadsword Samehada, they were all perfectly simulated by the Elephant Transfer Technique.

Not only that, they were all controlled by Itachi and Kisame with their consciousness.

After Pain performed the Elephant Transformation Technique and had a "puppet" that he could completely control, Itachi and Kisame immediately controlled the puppet and left the base.

……

In a forest dozens of kilometers away from the Akatsuki base, "Itachi" and "Kisame" appeared in front of Richard and his friends.

After seeing them, Kakashi immediately became fully alert and stopped Gai and others who wanted to take action immediately.

When Itachi and Kisame went to Konoha, they did not fight with Kakashi, Guy and others.

Although there was no fight like in the original work, after seeing "Itachi", Kakashi knew that the coming battle would not be easy.

Before Itachi "defected" from the village, Itachi and Kakashi were companions in the ANBU.

Not only did they serve as bodyguards for the Third Hokage together, but they also carried out missions together to protect Kai.

Compared to Gai and others, Kakashi knows Itachi's strength better.

When he was still in the Anbu, Itachi, who was nine years younger than him, possessed strength that was as good as his.

And on the night of the Uchiha clan genocide, Itachi showed strength far beyond his own.

Although Kakashi was already fully alert and reminded Gai and the others seriously, he still underestimated Itachi.

At this time, Kakashi didn't know that Itachi possessed the unreasonable and powerful illusion "Tsukuyomi", and he didn't know that Itachi had mastered Susanoo.

After reminding Kai and the others, Kakashi pulled up his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan.

Then, he took the lead, used Raikiri, and attacked Itachi first.

Richard knew that Kakashi did this to end the battle in the shortest possible time and prevent Sakura, Neji and the others from getting hurt.

But he would never have imagined that Itachi's current strength was even more terrifying than he expected.

Before he could get in front of Itachi, he was hit by the Tsukuyomi cast by Itachi.

Although he was trying his best to guard against Itachi's illusions against him, Tsukuyomi was no ordinary illusion.

Without any suspense, Kakashi was immediately pulled into the Tsukuyomi space by Itachi.

Itachi did not show any mercy to Kakashi and tortured him severely in the Tsukuyomi space for three days and three nights.

For Kakashi, these were three days he would never forget.

From the perspective of Richard and the others, Kakashi, who had used Raikiri, just arrived in front of Itachi and fell down due to his weak legs.

Except for Richard, Itachi, and Kisame, no one else knew what Itachi did to Kakashi.

After seeing his "best friend" Kakashi being defeated in a strange way, Kai did not hesitate at all and immediately used the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

Itachi and Kisame did not stand there stupidly and let him perform the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

But when Kai used the Eight Gates, they attacked at the same time.

In terms of numbers, Kai and his team have an absolute numerical advantage.

But the situation on the field was just one-sided.

Except for the experienced Chiyo and the powerful Gai, Sakura, Sai, Temari, Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten were all overwhelmed by the attacks of Itachi and Kisame, and they were unable to focus on one thing while neglecting another.

Before long, Sakura, Tenten and the others were either caught in Itachi's illusion, or trapped or injured by Kisame's water-style ninjutsu.

The gap is too big!

Richard, floating in the air, sighed.

Although Itachi and Kisame who fought against Sakura and the others were not their real selves, but puppets created using the Elephant Transfer Technique, and possessed only 30% of their real chakra.

But for Sakura and the others, Itachi and Kisame are still not people they can deal with.

Even Kai and Chiyo were unable to exert their full strength because they had to protect them.

After floating in the air and watching for a while, Richard landed on the lake created by Kisame's water escape technique.

"Bullying children is not something adults should do. Let me play with you two."

Richard said to Itachi and Kisame while standing on the water.

After seeing him looking into his eyes, Itachi used Tsukuyomi once again without any hesitation, trying to pull Richard's spirit into the Tsukuyomi space.

The next second, an incredible expression appeared on his face.

Tsukuyomi failed!

Itachi looked at Richard in disbelief.

"Don't make a fuss about it. Tsukuyomi is just an illusion after all."

"You are very good at illusions. You should know that illusions have an unavoidable shortcoming, which is that illusions cannot affect people whose spirit and will are far superior to yours."

"And my spirit and will are much stronger than you think."

Richard said slowly.

In the original work, Tsukuyomi's performance is simply unsolvable.

But Tsukuyomi is not really unsolvable.

If I have to say something, I can only say that everyone in the Naruto world is too weak, which is why Tsukuyomi is almost unsolvable.

After discovering that Tsukuyomi had failed, Itachi guessed that Richard's spirit and will had exceeded the limits of Tsukuyomi.

Although he didn't know why Richard had such amazing spirit and will, he did not waste time and immediately performed the second eye technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Amaterasu.

As Amaterasu performed her magic, black flames appeared out of nowhere.

However, before Amaterasu's black flames could hit Richard, Richard disappeared from Itachi's sight.

"I'm not wrong. After Tsukuyomi, you will most likely cast Amaterasu."

"It turns out that I guessed right."

Richard's voice sounded behind Itachi.

After hearing his voice, Itachi turned around abruptly and tried to put some distance between himself and Richard.

At this moment, Richard opened his Rinnegan and raised his right hand to point at Itachi and Kisame.

Shinra Tianzheng!

Without any hesitation, he immediately used the Shinra Tensei.

The terrifying impact force instantly sent Itachi and Kisame flying dozens of meters away.

Richard didn't use his full strength.
