Sasuke's pupils contracted, and he said in a trembling voice,
"Who are you saying has returned? Is it Itachi?"
Senga didn't say anything, and the next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Inside the Uchiha Clan cemetery,
Itachi stood silently before the two tombstones until a gust of cold wind blew by. Itachi tightened his robe and turned to leave.
But when he turned around, he was stunned, because he saw a figure with long, snow-white hair standing not far away.
To be honest, seeing such a scene in a cemetery is really creepy, but Itachi didn't panic. He immediately activated his Sharingan, stared at the eerie figure, and said in a deep voice,
Who is it?
The figure slowly raised its head, its eyes gleaming crimson in the night. Itachi's expression froze instantly, and he exclaimed in shock.
"The Mangekyō Sharingan!?"
"Heh, Itachi, why are you so surprised?"
The figure appeared in front of Itachi in an instant; it was Senga.
Itachi finally saw Senga's face clearly. He had been using the Mangekyo for quite some time, and his eyesight had deteriorated significantly. In addition, it was nighttime, so he hadn't seen Senga's face clearly before.
Itachi was happy to see Senga again, but his body instinctively stepped back, putting distance between Senga.
Itachi was a true Rogue Ninja. Although his true identity was an undercover agent infiltrating the Akatsuki Organization, only the Third Hokage and Danzo knew this.
Now that the Third Hokage and Danzo are both dead, it means that no one can prove Itachi's identity, and he didn't expect the two of them to reveal his secrets before they died.
Itachi looked at Senga's Mangekyo and said softly,
"As expected of Senga."
As he spoke, Itachi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and met Senga's gaze.
However, even with his Mangekyo activated, he still felt a sense of suppression when facing Senga's eyes.
Itachi frowned, thinking to himself,
"Senior Senga's eyes are definitely not ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan! Could it really be the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, just like the rumors say?"
Itachi knew about the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and he even wanted Sasuke to take his eyes after his death so that his younger brother would no longer be in danger of going blind.
But since Senga Chiga didn't have any siblings, how did he awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?
Senga naturally wouldn't reveal Uchiha Shin's affair. His gaze lingered on Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan for a moment before he spoke.
"Your eyes probably won't last much longer, will they?"
Itachi didn't try to hide anything; he nodded and said,
"Yes, I've had the Mangekyō Sharingan for quite some time now, but I think Senga Chiga did it even earlier than me, right?"
Senga smiled and said,
"You actually want to ask if my eyes are the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, right?"
Itachi nodded. Although he had already guessed it, he still wanted to confirm it.
Senga readily admitted it, and Itachi's gaze sharpened, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought." He continued to ask...
"So what does Senga intend to do with these eyes? Just Hokage of Konoha?"
Itachi knew how terrifying the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Back then, Uchiha Madara used these eyes to suppress the Ninja World. If it weren't for the First Hokage, Madara might have already used these eyes to pacify the Ninja World.
Senga shook his head and said indifferently,
"Just a Hokage of Konoha, I wouldn't even look at him."
"So Senga Chiga, you're thinking of..."
"Don't overthink it. I just came back to find a few people."
"Looking for someone? Who?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. By the way, the position of head of Konoha's Anbu Commander is currently vacant, so you can take it."
"!?"
Even the usually composed Itachi was caught off guard by Senga's sudden remark. He stared wide-eyed, pointing at himself with a look of astonishment and shouting,
"Me? Senga Chiga wants me to be the Anbu Commander!?"
"Hmm, didn't you used to work in the Anbu? I think you're quite suitable."
"No, Senga Chiga, I'm Rogue Ninja!"
"Who said you're Rogue Ninja? You were just carrying out an undercover mission."
"... Senior Senga knows about this?"
"Danzo said it before he died; of course, I made him say it."
A flicker of longing appeared in Itachi's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and his gaze quickly dimmed again.
"It's too late, Senga Chiga. My body can't hold on much longer, and I haven't gathered enough information about Akatsuki Organization yet. All I know right now is that the leader of Akatsuki possesses the Rinnegan!"
"The Rinnegan? Those are the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths. In that case, the leader of Akatsuki is indeed a dangerous person."
"Yes, they are hunting Tailed Beast, and Konoha's Nine-Tails is among them!"
"Okay, I understand. You can start working in the Anbu tomorrow. You don't need to worry about the rest."
"What?! Senga! That's the Rinnegan! At least let me figure out its abilities so that Konoha can be prepared when it faces it in the future!"
Senga remained silent. Black ripples appeared in his eyes, their color changing from scarlet to deep purple, with six Tomoe appearing in each eye.
Itachi froze, pointing at Senga's eyes, and said in a trembling voice,
"Rinnegan...?"
"Now, do you think I still need the information from the Rinnegan?"
Itachi swallowed hard and slowly shook his head.
Just kidding, Senga himself is the one who Rinnegan, so who could understand the Rinnegan better than him?
Itachi couldn't help but move closer to Senga, staring intently at the Rinnegan.
He discovered that Senga's Rinnegan wasn't exactly the same as the Akatsuki Organization leader's; Senga's Rinnegan also had Tomoe (Tianlai Novel Network).
He couldn't help but ask,
"Senga, your Rinnegan seems a bit different from the Akatsuki leader's. What's with these Tomoe?"
Senga smiled and said,
"What? You think my Rinnegan is inferior to his?"
"No, I'm just a little curious..."
"Heh, all you need to know is that his eyes are nowhere near as good as mine."
As he spoke, a purple light shone from Senga's Rinnegan, and a terrifying pressure emanated from it. Itachi's expression froze; this sense of oppression was indeed much stronger than that of the Akatsuki leader.
Under the pressure of the Rinnegan, Itachi's body trembled uncontrollably, and he began to cough.
Upon seeing this, Senga immediately deactivated his Rinnegan. He stepped forward to support Itachi and whispered,
"You've suffered a lot these past years, haven't you? Come back, Itachi."
These words, spoken by Senga, were incredibly damaging to Itachi. At that moment, he even shed tears of grievance like a child.
