After Training Bankai for a Decade, I Was Scouted by the Akatsuki Chapter 266 As Expected of the Man Who Destroyed His Clan, H

Itachi was naturally bewildered.

Ever since he infiltrated Konoha back then and learned that Sasuke was taken away by Orochimaru, he had been keeping an eye on their whereabouts.

And just recently,

He finally confird,

Not only was Sasuke in no danger, but he was diligently training.

Upon hearing this news, Itachi felt relieved.

But now he never expected...

That his tracking of Itachi's information had actually... reached Pain's ears...

Not good.

Itachi imdiately lowered his gaze, his expression sowhat grim.

He knew,

In the past rules of the Akatsuki,

All enemies of Akatsuki were handled by Kyo, who was responsible for going out and eliminating them.

And now,

If Pain also regarded Sasuke as an obstacle to Akatsuki, it was very likely... he would directly request Kyo to eliminate him!

If that happened... Sasuke would be dead for sure!

Itachi was very clear,

Once Kyo fought seriously, no one could stop him!

Not to ntion Sasuke, even if he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and Susano'o, he might not be able to fight him!

He knew this better than anyone!!

Damn it!

I must find a way to prevent this from happening!

Thinking this,

Itachi's heart sank sharply, no ti to think carefully, he quickly looked up, pretended to be cold, and said firmly:

"I understand."

"Leave it to ... I will deal with Sasuke."

"I will never let him hinder Akatsuki."

Itachi spoke firmly with an unprecedented, cold expression.

The surrounding air seed to drop a few degrees because of it.

As the words fell,

Everyone around was montarily stunned.

Gasp...

As expected of the ruthless man who destroyed his clan...

Even dealing with his own younger brother, he shows no rcy...

As expected of Uchiha Itachi.

Indeed impressive.

However,

Kyo on this side raised an eyebrow, revealing a faint, ambiguous smile.

Tsk tsk,

He had to admit,

This fellow actor's performances never get old.

Clearly loving his foolish little brother so deeply, he can instantly show such terrifying killing intent...

This level of professionalism is absolutely top-notch.

And at this mont,

Pain still expressionless, said flatly:

"Alright."

"Does anyone else... have any objections?"

Pain's gaze swept across the faces of the other mbers one by one, finally stopping on Deidara's face.

But this ti,

Even the usually noisy Deidara didn't speak up.

Objections?

Are you kidding?

It's just an internal affair of the Uchiha Clan.

A younger brother whose entire clan was killed cos to seek revenge on the older brother who killed the entire clan,

If he interfered with sothing like that, it would be really deaning.

And,

They weren't at all worried about Itachi failing the mission.

After all, this guy was the one who wiped out the entire Uchiha Clan back then,

With his powerful Mangekyo Sharingan and Genjutsu, if he got serious, his strength goes without saying, solidly in the top three of Akatsuki.

If even he had to be questioned,

They might as well have Pain or Kyo handle it personally.

"Since there are no objections, let it be decided."

A mont later, Pain spoke as if pronouncing a judgnt, calmly:

"Uchiha Itachi,"

"You will go and eliminate Uchiha Sasuke, eliminating the threat to Akatsuki."

Itachi replied in a low voice.

His gaze was calm, like a frozen lake, devoid of emotion.

Soon after,

This Akatsuki general eting,

Ended with an abrupt conclusion.

There was no doubt,

Because Itachi had to imdiately set off to eliminate Sasuke, removing the threat to Akatsuki.

The Tailed Beast extraction ritual naturally did not take place.

Because there weren't enough people.

And a mont later,

Everyone began to leave one after another.

Finally,

Inside the base, only Pain, Konan, and Kyo, who had quietly returned, remained.

And at this mont,

After a mont of silence,

Konan looked at Kyo with an expression sowhat admiring, and said:

"Sure enough..."

"The situation unfolded exactly as you predicted, Kyo-kun."

"After hearing the news about Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi... indeed actively chose to undertake the mission...

"And, he really didn't hesitate at all...

Of course,

The news of Sasuke's revenge was not so information they fabricated.

It's sothing they heard from Kyo.

And,

It was information they only learned right before the eting started.

For this very reason,

Just now, Nagato glanced at Kyo, asking for his opinion.

Upon learning the timing was right,

He hesitated no longer,

Directly informing Itachi himself of this information.

And the result,

Was exactly as Kyo had previously predicted.

Itachi actively accepted the mission without hesitation.

Upon hearing Konan's words,

Kyo smiled and looked up, saying:

"Well,"

"Just so basic speculation."

"After all, this guy has always had a special attachnt to the Uchiha Clan."

"It's not surprising he'd make this kind of decision."

Kyo said casually.

And at this mont,

Behind Pain,

At so point, the original body Nagato suddenly appeared, wearing a red-cloud black robe, slowly erging from the darkness.

However at this mont, his expression held a hint of confusion as he looked at Kyo and said:

"I still don't quite understand, Kyo-san,"

"Why did we need to specifically suspend Akatsuki's Tailed Beast extraction plan... to specifically deal with that young man nad 'Sasuke'?"

"His strength... logically speaking, should be inferior to Uchiha Itachi, right?"

Nagato asked with a frown.

What he said during the eting was completely just repeating Kyo's intentions for Itachi and the others to hear.

Even he himself didn't really know the specific reasons.

That's why he asked.

And at this mont,

As his words fell,

Konan beside him also showed a sowhat puzzled expression.

To be honest,

Even the na was quite unfamiliar to them.

Kyo's gaze flickered slightly, but his expression unchanged, still smiling lightly and said:

"It's very simple,"

"Because Uchiha Sasuke... will beco one of the most crucial 'villainous deterrents' in my plan."

"-----?!"

As Kyo's words fell,

Nagato and Konan's pupils constricted simultaneously, their expressions changing slightly!

They, who had been confused just a mont ago, had their thoughts interrupted at this mont, directly stunned!

Uchiha Itachi's younger brother... is actually... a crucial villainous deterrent?!

So, Kyo's plan...

Has already begun, unknowingly, in the shadows...?!

"..."

Nagato couldn't help but gasp slightly,

Then, his expression instantly beca extrely serious as he lowered his voice and said earnestly:

"..."

"From now on, the deterrence plan... has begun?"

His tone was extrely cautious.

But Kyo only flickered his golden eyes slightly, smiled at Nagato, and said leisurely:

"More or less."

"Perhaps soon, the entire structure will gradually take shape."

"So, just wait patiently."

"Well, I'm leaving first."

As he spoke,

Kyo waved his hand leisurely, turned around, and left directly.

His pace was casual, as if strolling leisurely.

And at this mont, upon hearing Kyo's words,

Nagato and Konan exchanged glances, both seeing the grim atmosphere in each other's eyes.

Finally,

Nagato looked at Kyo's retreating figure again and said firmly:

"Kyo-san,"

"This battle between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke..."

"Who will ultimately win?"

As the words fell,

Kyo's pace paused slightly.

Then, as if thinking about sothing, he looked up, his back to Konan and Nagato, and said softly:

"Well, who knows..."

"Before the real battle breaks out, everything... is still an unknown."

As the words fell,

He stepped forward again and disappeared into the cave entrance.
