"Finally, it’s here, wasted a few days of my ti."
During these days, Su Xiao received news via the [Derived World Contact Platform], a major piece of news.
The large adventure team: the Barbarian Sky Adventure Group was wiped out at the Hidden Rain Village, destroyed by Nagato. Not only was the Barbarian Sky Adventure Group annihilated, but Jiraiya also remained in the Hidden Rain Village forever, killed by his pupil.
Jiraiya was a tragic figure, born on Singles’ Day, his life was full of almosts. Almost together with his goddess, almost saw his pupil beco the Seventh Hokage,
Before Jiraiya headed to investigate the Hidden Rain Village, Tsunade had already revealed during a drinking session that she would marry him once he returned.
Jiraiya went to the Hidden Rain Village with the belief he’d finish investigating and return ho to get married, only to fall there.
After killing Jiraiya, Nagato beca even more extre, reaching a point of devouring his master. It’s truly unknown how Nagato in such a ntal state was persuaded by the Mouth Escape technique, World’s Power?
Su Xiao found it ridiculous, but it had nothing to do with him. He only needed to destroy Konoha, and what ca after he didn’t care.
Right now, Itachi is the biggest obstacle to Konoha’s destruction, and soone capable of killing Itachi has appeared.
Su Xiao had no intention of fighting Itachi, as that would likely lead to death. Itachi’s combat strength wasn’t limited to what was shown in his battle with Sasuke.
Sasuke and the others climbed the mountain, vaguely seeing a figure in the distance.
"Is that the person?"
Sasuke wore a calm expression, portraying a cool deanor.
"Yeah... yeah, it’s him."
"Hey, hey, no need to exaggerate. Talking to the point of stuttering."
Suigetsu teased Shinfuru.
"You kappa, do you know how terrifying that guy is? The miserable state of the Four-Tailed Jinchuriki is still vivid in my mory. If not for the need to capture the Jinchuriki alive, I suspect he might’ve sliced the Four-Tailed Jinchuriki in half. Plus, he ate the Four-Tails, can you imagine how terrifying that scene was?"
Shinfuru glared angrily at Suigetsu.
"Ate the Four-Tails? What do you an?"
Sasuke frowned, planning to subdue Su Xiao and extract information.
"He just ate it, it’s... I can’t really describe it, like a light blue smoke."
Sasuke was utterly confused.
"How long do you plan to stand there? Breakfast will get cold."
A voice emanated from the mountaintop, causing Sasuke’s pupils to contract.
Su Xiao glanced at Sasuke and his group hidden at the mountain’s base, turned, and walked towards the flat area at the mountaintop.
A mont later, Sasuke’s group arrived at the mountaintop, finding Su Xiao sitting cross-legged by a campfire, roasting a lamb.
Crack, Su Xiao took a bite of the apple in his hand, eyes on the four.
"If you ca two days later, I would’ve been gone."
The sheathed Dragon Slash slanted against Su Xiao’s leg, appearing relaxed and vigilant, ready to kill any mont.
"Where’s Itachi? If you don’t tell ..."
Sasuke, though assertive, felt a bit anxious inside. This man had known they’d show up at this ti, even preparing food for five.
"At a certain Uchiha Clan relic."
Before Sasuke could utter a threat, Su Xiao had already disclosed Itachi’s location.
Sasuke grew more puzzled, frowning in uncertainty, unsure whether to trust Su Xiao.
Su Xiao tossed aside the apple core, cut a slice of lamb with a dagger, and leisurely ate, casually pulling off a leg for Bubu Wang, ignoring everything else.
Sasuke stood still, showing no interest in breakfast, his Three-hooked Sharingan spinning.
Su Xiao paused his hand, glancing sidelong at Sasuke.
"Illusion Technique? Compared to Itachi, it’s far inferior."
Under the sowhat dazed gaze of Er Zhuzi, Su Xiao sliced another piece of roasted lamb and continued eating.
Su Xiao had high resistance to spiritual skills, and his intelligence attribute had reached 50 points. If he were controlled by Er Zhuzi’s Three-hooked Sharingan Illusion Technique, he would’ve perished in the Naruto World long ago.
"As expected, you really know Itachi."
Sasuke took a few steps forward, hand on his sword hilt, still intending to forcibly learn Itachi’s whereabouts.
Su Xiao ceased chewing, turning to look at Sasuke.
"Uchiha Sasuke, even Itachi wouldn’t dare approach actively."
"I’m different from him."
Boom!
Su Xiao stomped and shattered the rock beneath, debris flying, Dragon Slash unsheathed.
Ring Break!
Clang, the blade aura instantly appeared before Sasuke’s neck. Sasuke dodged with effort, getting a few strands of black hair sliced off.
Su Xiao lunged forward, swinging three blade auras to suppress Sasuke before closing in.
Sasuke drew his sword, clang, clang, clang, three crisp sounds, sparks flying as the Grass Pheasant Sword blocked the three blade auras.
Just as Sasuke was about to strike at Su Xiao, an icy sensation appeared, Dragon Slash’s tip resting beneath Sasuke’s chin. His head tilted slightly, his blade a ter away from Su Xiao’s neck, unable to move.
"I said, even Itachi wouldn’t dare get close."
Not just Sasuke—even Jiraiya had no good outco approaching Su Xiao. Currently, Sasuke was no match for Jiraiya.
"Sasuke."
Suigetsu and others wished to help, but Sasuke’s life was in Su Xiao’s hands.
Su Xiao moved Dragon Slash away, sheathing the long blade. Sasuke remained expressionless, seemingly indifferent to what just happened, yet inside he didn’t feel the sa; he clearly sensed Su Xiao’s intent to kill for a mont.
"Follow ; I’ll take you to see Itachi. Don’t worry, I won’t interfere in your fight."
Su Xiao mounted Bubu Wang, riding downhill, with Sasuke hesitating montarily before catching up.
Hatred enveloped Sasuke at this mont, but even greater ’surprises’ awaited him.
The man he’d hated for over a decade ultimately did everything for him, even sacrificing his life—what a shocking revelation. The fact Er Zhuzi’s perspective didn’t collapse already showed ntal toughness.
After Bubu Wang ran for two hours, Su Xiao arrived in a forest.
Just as Bubu Wang halted, a few figures appeared behind.
"This place is..."
Sasuke vaguely felt the forest seed familiar.
"This is an Uchiha Clan stronghold."
Su Xiao spoke while taking a scroll from his arms, opening it.
Bang.
A crow flew out of the scroll, landing on Su Xiao’s shoulder and glancing at Sasuke.
"Tell Itachi I’ve brought him."
Upon Su Xiao’s words, Sasuke’s group assud combat stances.
The crow nodded, flying deeper into the forest—Itachi’s summoning beast.
A mont later, the crow returned with a note in its beak. Su Xiao glanced at its content before tearing it apart.
"There’s an underground entrance in that direction; go in from there."
After confirming no imdiate danger around, Sasuke’s group headed in the pointed direction, remaining vigilant.
"Did I say you could all go? Uchiha Sasuke can enter; the others stay."
"Huh?"
Suigetsu expressed displeasure, removing the Beheading Sword on his back.
Sasuke said nothing, proceeding alone toward the underground entrance.
"Wait, Sasuke, it might be a trap."
Shinfuru’s worry wasn’t unfounded, yet Sasuke’s steps unmoved; if it was a trap, Su Xiao wouldn’t stop here.
Ignoring Suigetsu and others, Su Xiao leaped onto a tree branch, leaning against the trunk and pulling out a tablet to play puzzle gas.
"Seems he has no intention of stopping us."
Suigetsu chuckled, poised to support Sasuke.
"He indeed won’t stop you, but I will."
Kisa approached from afar, blocking Suigetsu and the others’ path.
A swirling warp in the space near Su Xiao appeared—Obito materialized.
"We’re even."
Su Xiao didn’t lift his head, disinterested in a battle with a certain outco. If Itachi didn’t hold back, the current Itachi could easily handle Three-hooked Sasuke.
"Yes, we’re even."
Obito sat on a nearby tree branch, ready to spectate as well.
"It’s quite lively; who do you think will win the Uchiha brothers’ battle?"
Zetsu erged from a nearby tree trunk, making three spectators in total—no, four, as Bubu Wang had prepared popcorn and cola.
