Hearing Takeru say this, Kakashi gave him a deep look and could only sigh deeply. If he wanted to stop Sasuke, his current condition made it simply impossible.
"But don’t you think that’s strange? They’ve infiltrated the village, so finding Naruto inside the village should be easy, right? Itachi knows what Naruto looks like!" At that mont, Asuma spoke up.
"It’s not strange at all. They were just discovered by us first. Also, the point is, Naruto is currently with one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya. They wouldn’t act rashly. Of course, most importantly, they aren’t collecting the Tailed Beasts randomly. Their visit here is simply for reconnaissance."
Regarding Asuma’s confusion, Takeru directly explained.
Hearing this, Kakashi gave Takeru another deep look. Logically, Jiraiya taking Naruto away was sothing only discussed with him. Clearly, Takeru possessed so advanced source of intelligence.
"Then, why are you so sure Sasuke definitely won’t be in danger?" Hearing Takeru’s words, Kakashi regained his composure and asked seriously.
"Simple. Sasuke is the person Itachi cares about most. The vast majority of what he has done is to protect Sasuke. Just know that." Hearing his words, Takeru revealed another shocking piece of information to them.
"Impossible!" Hearing Takeru’s words, everyone was stunned. Kakashi even voiced his disbelief.
Because they couldn’t see any sign of Itachi caring about Sasuke. On the contrary, they were well aware of the imnse hatred Sasuke held for Itachi.
Seeing their completely disbelieving looks, Takeru just smiled lightly and didn’t elaborate further. This was part of Itachi’s brilliance: making Sasuke hate him. Firstly, it gave Sasuke the motivation of hatred to grow stronger. Secondly, others wouldn’t think to use Sasuke to threaten him.
Moreover, after negotiating terms with the Konoha’s higher-ups, Itachi managed to let Sasuke live safely in relatively secure Konoha Village.
"Alright, I’ve told you what I can. I’ll take my leave now." With that, Takeru directly left the spot.
Seeing Takeru’s quickly disappearing figure, they were stunned. They wanted to stop him, as they still had many questions for Takeru, but he vanished too quickly.
Now that Takeru was gone, they hesitated, then gathered to discuss whether they should believe Takeru’s words.
Takeru naturally couldn’t be bothered with all that. He had told them. Believing or not was up to them, and it had no impact on him.
...
anwhile, prompted by Takeru, Sasuke had gone directly to search for traces of Naruto.
But compared to Itachi and Kisa, his speed was still a bit slower.
Itachi and Kisa directly knocked on the door of the room where Naruto was.
Knock knock!
Naruto, who was training, was startled by the knocking sound and randomly dispelled his Multiple Shadow Clones.
"What’s this, he’s already back from being dumped?" Hearing the knock, Naruto spoke without thinking.
Knock knock!
"I know, coming, coming, I’ll open the door!" Listening to the increasingly loud knocking, Naruto helplessly called out.
As Naruto opened the door, he saw Itachi with his Sharingan activated. Itachi’s gaze was sowhat gloomy at the mont.
’Sasuke... it’s not him... who is this? He has the sa Sharingan as Sasuke.’ The mont he saw Itachi, Naruto’s first thought was of Sasuke.
"To think this little brat contain the Nine-Tails." At that mont, Kisa also appeared in front of Naruto and spoke calmly.
’Why do these guys know about the Nine-Tails?; Hearing Kisa’s words, Naruto was stunned.
"Naruto, please co with us, outside." Without paying attention to the shocked Naruto, Itachi still politely spoke to him.
’These guys aren’t ordinary!’ Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Itachi and Kisa, Naruto broke out in a cold sweat. Not daring to resist further, he directly went to their side.
"Hmm, Itachi-san, it would be troubleso if he ran away. Should we cut off one of his legs first?" Out of caution, Kisa spoke expressionlessly, his hand already gripping Sahada on his back.
Hearing Kisa’s words, Naruto was shocked. Only Itachi remained silent, as if tacitly approving Kisa’s action.
As Kisa stepped closer, Itachi suddenly spoke, "Long ti no see, Sasuke."
"Uchiha Itachi!" Looking at Itachi with an extrely dark expression, Sasuke’s whole body trembled slightly... not from fear, but from the excitent of potentially being able to kill his enemy.
"Oh, he has the Sharingan, and he looks a lot like you. Who exactly is that person?" Seeing Sasuke, Kisa also asked curiously.
"My younger brother." Hearing Kisa’s words, Itachi didn’t hide it, as this matter couldn’t be hidden anyway.
"I heard the entire Uchiha Clan was wiped out, killed by you." Kisa continued.
"Uchiha Itachi, I’m going to kill you!" Sasuke also looked at Itachi with hatred.
Hearing Sasuke’s words, Naruto then understood that this man was Sasuke’s older brother, the one Sasuke had always wanted to kill.
"I’ve done as you said: hated you, despised you, and lived until now... all to kill you!" As he spoke, the Chidori quickly took shape in Sasuke’s hand. Accompanied by its piercing screech, even Naruto could sense its power.
However, this scene fell upon Itachi’s eyes with extre calmness, not causing the slightest ripple. He did recognize it, though: Kakashi’s original technique, Chidori.
"I’m going to kill you!" Sasuke shouted, using Chidori to scrape along the wall as he charged at Itachi.
"Die!"
With Sasuke’s roar, a huge explosion sounded inside the inn, and a large hole was blasted through the wall, raising thick smoke.
But as the smoke dissipated, Naruto could only discover in shock that Sasuke’s Chidori attack was directly stopped by Itachi with one hand.
Of course, Itachi didn’t ’block’ the Chidori attack itself... he grabbed the arm Sasuke was using to release Chidori, making it impossible for him to resist.
’What’s going on? Sasuke’s Ninjutsu was broken so easily? It’s bad, I need to think of sothing!’ Noticing Itachi applying force to Sasuke’s arm, Naruto quickly ford hand seals.
As Naruto ford seals, red Chakra quickly condensed around him.
Naruto’s actions instantly drew the attention of Itachi and Kisa, as the Nine-Tails’ Chakra was simply too conspicuous since it was vast and violent.
"So this is the Nine-Tails’ Chakra." Kisa said understandingly.
Sasuke here still wanted to resist, but Itachi, finding him troubleso, directly broke the joints in his hand.
Intense pain surged, making Sasuke cry out in agony.
Hearing Sasuke’s cry, Naruto beca furious and ford another hand seal. "Ninja Art: Summoning..."
"Too slow!" Seeing Naruto’s move, Kisa directly swung Sahada at him. Instantly, the red Chakra surrounding him vanished completely.
"Huh? I can’t feel Chakra? Damn it, why is this happening!" The unbelieving Naruto kept trying to gather Chakra, but no matter what, he couldn’t condense any.
"My Sahada can also shave off and devour Chakra." Looking at the agitated Naruto, Kisa explained calmly.
At the mont, Sahada, though wrapped in bandages, was wriggling constantly, as if it had a life of its own.
"Letting you use Ninjutsu would be troubleso. Rather than cutting a foot, let’s cut off that hand first." Kisa pointed Sahada at Naruto and said.
At the critical mont, accompanied by a puff of smoke, Sahada collided with a piece of tal, producing a clear ringing sound.
"What?" Sensing sothing blocking his attack, Kisa was stunned.
When the smoke cleared, he saw a frog wearing a special tal ring. This frog had used its equipped ring to block the attack.
Poof!
Then, behind Naruto, another puff of smoke appeared.
"You guys really don’t understand well enough. A man like the Great Jiraiya wouldn’t be seduced by a woman... he’s better at sweet-talking to deceive won. I wouldn’t be lured by a woman’s beauty!"
"For a man like , won co to on their own!" Carrying the woman previously hypnotized by Itachi, Jiraiya made his entrance and spoke in a Chuunibyo manner.
However, Jiraiya’s words and actions instantly cooled the atmosphere. Everyone just stared at him blankly.
"You were so excited by that cheap trick of a woman batting her eyelashes. Stop trying to show off, Pervy Sage!" Naruto rcilessly exposed Jiraiya’s attempt to look cool.
"I told you not to call that in front of others!" Hearing Naruto’s words, Jiraiya was more concerned about the nickna.
"Heh heh, so you’ve co, the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya. Even though you’re a super pervert, I didn’t expect you to be tricked away so easily!" Kisa also said with a wicked smile.
"Eh? They even know Pervy Sage’s true nature?" Hearing Kisa’s words, Naruto realized in shock that the two actually knew Jiraiya’s identity and character.
"That... can’t really be called my ’true nature’..." Hearing Naruto’s words, Jiraiya still tried to salvage what little remained of his image.
