As the high-end combat power of Kirigakure, the name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen also resounded throughout the ninja world during the war.
Although it is not as intimidating as the golden flash, seven people together are still a powerful force.
What was outrageous about that information was not that four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were defeated and killed, but that the one who did it was a genin of Konoha.
This information was too outrageous, so Kumogakure didn't pay attention, and even suspected that Konoha had released it to deliberately intimidate.
"Eight gates."
Yukito's eyes were slightly solemn: "Once all the human body's limiters are opened, even a genin can gain the power of the shadow in a short period of time."
Sasuke on the side spoke at this moment: "Metkay, the instructor of the last issue. At that time, he opened seven limiters."
Seven?
The seventh door: the shocking door.
For a while, several people fell silent.
After a while, Yuki said: "In that state, Sunagakure's Jinchuuriki has no room for resistance. Even if it were me, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better."
These words made Darui stunned. He knew the difference between a perfect jinchuriki and an ordinary jinchuriki.
If this is the case, then against Sunagakure's Ichibi, the power of that person's seventh gate has not yet been fully unleashed.
"For the evaluation of Konoha's combat power after losing the Third Hokage, it is necessary to formulate a document and hand it to Lord Raikage after returning. These are very important."
After nodding, the few of them didn't speak any more, but hurried on with their heads down.
An hour later, we approached the border of the Fire Country.
Yumuren raised his hand and everyone stopped.
"Very strong."
Upon hearing this, Darui took off the sword from his back, and Sasuke and Omoi also formed a defensive formation.
A few seconds later, two figures approached in the forest.
A black uniform with red clouds and a bamboo hat.
"Itachi, is this your brother? His eyes are very interesting..."
Kisame said as he took off the decapitating sword and talked about Sasuke but his eyes were fixed on Yukito.
The Samehada in his hand told him that the woman in front of him was very strong, at least the amount of chakra made Samehada keep swallowing his saliva.
"Uchiha...Itachi."
Sasuke's voice was trembling, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes had been opened, and a kunai was also held in his hand.
Itachi, who was opposite him, still had an indifferent look in his eyes, not even looking at Sasuke.
Obviously, Sasuke already knew when he activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Such an outfit... It seems that you joined an organization after defecting to Konoha?"
Darui said and looked at Kisame again: "Sameki, Kirigakure's rebel ninja? But just like this, do you have the courage to face Kumogakure?"
Uchiha Itachi looked over: "Our goal is not Kumogakure, but it seems that some of you don't want me to leave..."
As he said that, he looked at Sasuke: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Sasuke. Contrary to my expectations, you grew up very quickly. You didn't rush over immediately without overestimating your capabilities, so you were a little more cautious."
"Buzz..."
His pupil power exploded, and before he could finish his words, a black flame suddenly appeared.
It was unexpected, but it was obvious that Uchiha Itachi was always on guard from the moment the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Hexagram appeared.
Blood slipped from the corners of his eyes, but Uchiha Sasuke did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it. With just one shot of Amaterasu's fire, he realized his gap.
"Are you going to do something, Itachi?"
Kisame was very excited and looked at the two Omoi brats maliciously.
One look made these two recently graduated brats tremble.
"There is no need to add extraneous details."
Itachi said and looked at Yukito: "Konoha and Kumogakure are not allies, and our target is not Kumogakure... However, if he can be handed over to us..."
Before he finished speaking, Yukito laughed.
The next second, huge chakra burst out in his body, and two blue tails appeared behind him.
"How arrogant! Uchiha Itachi...it's a pity that Kumogakure has never been in the habit of abandoning his companions!"
Uchiha Itachi still had an indifferent face: "The two-tailed Jinchuuriki? Although the goals are inconsistent, maybe we can try."
"boom!"
The blue flames fell, and after the hit, Uchiha Itachi's body turned into more than ten crows and soared into the sky.
After the gathering, thunder and lightning followed one after another.
But with just one blow, Darui's sword was blocked by Kisame.
The giant sword's Samehada muscle twisted, and the next moment Sasuke, whose whole body was covered with thunder and lightning, arrived instantly, and his right hand flashing with lightning suddenly thrust out.
"boom!"
Samehada turned his head to block the blow, and at the same time, Sasuke's Thunder Release Chakra mode was swallowed and dissipated.
At the same time, the black thunder suddenly burst forward and its power was incomparable to Sasuke's.
"boom!"
Even if Samehada blocked it, Kisame was knocked away this time.
Immediately afterwards, Darui quickly formed seals with his hands, and black thunder suddenly erupted, speeding towards Kisame like a giant dragon.
Black shift!
"boom!"
The dust settled, but Darui and Sasuke did not continue.
the other side……
The Three Kamale Mangekyo appeared in Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and three kunai blocked the surrounding area. The blue flames swept in and destroyed only the shadow clone.
"Uh-huh!"
One after another figures appeared all around, blue flames and tails surged out, but each time they failed to hit Uchiha Itachi's body.
Illusion?
"Genjutsu has no effect on a perfect Jinchuuriki!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene around him changed rapidly.
In the blood-red space, the limbs of a wooden man were bound on a wooden cross. He was calling for another journey in his heart, but he received no response.
How can it be? !
"As a perfect Jinchuuriki, the power of the tailed beast can be perfectly borrowed. In this case, the second chakra in the body can burst out at any time to break through the genjutsu."
Uchiha Itachi's figure appeared and looked at Yukito: "But this is just a regular illusion. The tailed beast's chakra helps you break through the illusion, which also takes time. The time is very short, an instant? Or a second? "
"In this world, one second is seventy-two hours. How long can you hold on for seventy-two hours..."
As he finished speaking, a long knife appeared out of thin air.
Raise your hand, stab straight through, break the skin and insert into the chest and heart.
The pain that came slowly kept stimulating the brain, and he could clearly feel the cold blade inserting into the heart, but what followed was not death.
Soon, Yumu Ren, who was gritting his teeth and sweating on his forehead, was already covered with sharp blades.
The next moment, all the long knives disappeared.
"Leave Uchiha Sasuke to me, and you can get rid of this endless pain, and you Kumogakure can also leave safely..."
Yukito, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked at Uchiha Itachi in front of him coldly: "Uchiha Sasuke is now Kumogakure's ninja, and his existence will affect Kumogakure's future rise and fall!"
"Similarly... you wouldn't dare to kill him. On the night of the Uchiha genocide, you only left him and the Uchiha Izumi family. I don't think trash like you will be soft-hearted for a moment."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you want to say?"
Yukito gasped, but there was ridicule in his eyes: "You also know the existence of that person, right? Maybe it's because of that person that you couldn't kill Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Izumi. Otherwise, I really can't think of it. The reason why you let them go.”
After the words fell, Uchiha Itachi fell silent for a moment.
It has been more than four years, and the night of the genocide is still vivid in my memory even now.
The masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara has no chance of resisting even with the time and space pupil technique, and his eyes are gouged out casually.
And his own pupil technique, Tsukuyomi, also changed his master in an instant.
Such pupil power, to put it lightly, but even the Sharingan can't keep up with the speed, is like a sharp blade falling at any time, which is terrifying.
"Have you met him? So he was behind the Uchiha clan joining Kumogakure?"
Yukito did not answer, but looked at Uchiha Itachi with disdain: "So my guess is correct, right? On the night when you killed the Uchiha clan, you were also stepped on like a dog, right? "
"You cried bitterly and wanted to live, and you got this life by wagging your tail like a dog and begging for mercy? Is that right?"
"It's been more than four years. Maybe you are like those people in Konoha now. Time has gradually worn away your fear, making you think that that person will never appear again, right?"
"What a pity..."
Yukito didn't pause at all, looking at Uchiha Itachi with disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
"That person appeared again, and it was also because of Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Sasuke. What do you think is the reason why you can survive? Begging for mercy?"
"Your life... must have been left behind by that person on purpose, right? It was left to Sasuke to become a stepping stone for him to climb to a higher level of power."
"After all, a sinner like you is the biggest enemy to the Uchiha clan who is still alive. The hatred of all the Uchiha clan is gathered in your body!"
After the words fell, both of them fell silent for a while.
The words that that person said when he appeared four years ago flashed in Uchiha Itachi's mind.
Kumogakure's people were right, he contained the hatred of all Uchiha, including himself.
The three-year-old child ran away, with the Uchiha clan's emblem flying in the wind behind him. After a bright light flashed, he fell to the ground and twitched non-stop.
Life evaporated and bodies were scattered all around.
Hate?
A sinner of the Uchiha clan?
Under the control of pupil power, the flow of time gradually accelerates.
"puff!"
A knife stabbed into the heart.
"Now...there are still seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds left."
As if to declare fear, Yukito endured the pain of having his heart pierced, but still looked directly at Uchiha Itachi.
…
in reality.
In just a moment, Darui found Yukito half-crouched on the ground, panting.
Instantly appeared next to him, and the four people still standing surrounded him in a defensive formation.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Yukito opened his eyes, but his eye sockets were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his head was stinging and he might collapse at any time.
"He...his genjutsu...is special. Don't look into his eyes, not even the jinchūriki."
Darui and the others quickly lowered their heads, and Sasuke was no exception.
Be careful, you only have one life.
"How is it possible? How could Master Yukito be under an illusion?"
"It's over, it's over, are you going to die? If you are killed like this, the village doesn't know if they can collect the body for us..."
"Shut up!"×4
Omoyi quickly silenced his voice, but the image of his tragic death kept lingering in his mind.
At this time, Kisame also returned to Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi covered his eyes with one hand, with blood and tears in the corners of his eyes, and his body seemed to be crumbling.
"Itachi, how are you?"
"Retreat, after all, our target is not Erwei."
After a brief conversation, the two instantly retreated and disappeared into the jungle, without even leaving a single stimulating word for Uchiha Sasuke.
The kaleidoscope has been turned on, and Sasuke's growth has exceeded his expectations. At the same time, he also knew why Sasuke joined Kumogakure, and that person appeared again.
"Such a technique puts a heavy burden on your body..."
Kisame put Samehada back on his back. Samehada, who didn't have enough chakra, made a fuss for a while, but calmed down.
Itachi on the side had already exited the kaleidoscope, and the vision in his eyes was doubled and blurred for a while.
"The two-tailed Jinchuuriki has a strong will. If she continues, she may still have the will to continue. At that time, you may not be able to win."
"And Uchiha Sasuke has the same eyes as me. Due to physical limitations, I can avoid it, but in a three-on-one situation, you may not be able to avoid it."
Kisame hesitated to speak, then thought for a while and asked: "What's next? Continue to Konoha?"
Uchiha Itachi raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of Konoha: "No. If we go to Konoha in this state, we will all be in danger. Rest for a few days, and then go on the mission again."
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes, but his mind was not at peace.
After the test just now, Kumogakure can feel relieved about Sasuke's attitude, not to mention that they have already met the man.
With his power, even Kumogakure had to be careful about his attitude.
But who is he?
The guess must be related to Uchiha Izumi, but Uchiha Izumi and herself have known each other for a long time, and there is no one else in her family except her mother.
Sasuke grew up very quickly, and maybe he would be able to end this life soon.
The power of the eternal eye... Kumogakure...
At this point, it seemed that there was no way for Sasuke to return to Konoha.
…
"boom!"
Yukito, who was holding on, waited for a long time until he was sure that Uchiha Itachi had left, then he fell to the ground.
The continuous torture had made her forget how long she had been in that space.
The moment he came out, even his brain was still feeling the pain of his heart being pierced.
In fact, if Uchiha Itachi hadn't deliberately accelerated the flow of time in Tsukuyomi, she might have collapsed when she came out.
With Yukito on his back, Darui quickly arranged a retreat.
If the enemy returns at this time, the three oil bottles need to be protected, and Darui is not sure at all.
…
