Land of Rain is a country of weeping. People who live under continuous rain are generally not in a good mood.
Uchiha Itachi is in a worse mood than the average Land of Rain citizen, because no one likes someone chattering in their head day and night.
His nerves were already tough enough, so tough that no matter what that voice said, he would no longer pay attention to it, even if it mentioned Sasuke or his parents...
"This is your new partner..."
After resting for a while at Akatsuki's base, his new teammate finally arrived. Like Momochi Zabuza, he was the rebel ninja of Kirigakure, and seemed to be one of the "Seven Swords".
And he looks much uglier than Momochi Zabuza. Juuzang mostly paints ugly patterns on his face, but this new partner has cyan skin and looks like a shark. He even has shark-like gills under his eyes.
"This guy's parents are so awesome..." After reading the new teammate's information, even the voice in Uchiha Itachi's body murmured in a low voice. He seemed to be very concerned about his parents.
The process of the two getting to know each other was not pleasant. Itachi liked to practice Ninjutsu alone when he was not on a mission, and the place where he practiced Ninjutsu was always by the lake.
Maybe it's because his father always took him to practice where there was water when he was a child. It was more convenient to practice Fire Release that way.
"From today on, I will be your partner..." Kisame's voice came from behind him, but Itachi was still sitting on the small dock, with his head lowered, looking at the reflection in the water.
Today Land of Rain was exceptionally windy and sunny, even the rain had disappeared from above their heads, and the lake was exceptionally calm, without even a trace of ripples.
The water surface was like a mirror, faithfully reflecting the surrounding reflections, but Uchiha Itachi's reflection was completely different from his own. He could see that the reflection was shouting, and the mouth shape was exactly the same as the guy in his head yelling. It seemed that he would never be able to look in the mirror again.
But he still forced himself to lower his head and stared calmly at the angry self with his eyes.
Until ripples appeared on the water surface.
"I know you, you are Uchiha Itachi from the original Konoha..." Kisame Hoshigaki's footsteps were quite heavy, and the template of the dock made a squeaking sound when he stepped on it.
"I have admired you for a long time Daimyo." He stopped and said softly, "I heard that you killed all your family members."
Uchiha Itachi finally raised his head and no longer looked at the water. The ripples there made him look more ferocious in the water, and the words Kisame Hoshigaki said made the voice in his mind louder and noisier.
"I know you very well, Uchiha Itachi." Kisame laughed softly and continued, "This is the reason why I chose you to be my teammate. How does it feel to kill your own people?"
"It's really hard to express in words, isn't it? Mr. Itachi..."
Before he finished speaking, he found that Uchiha Itachi suddenly turned his head, with a pair of red Mangekyō Sharingan staring closely into his eyes.
"You think you know me very well." Uchiha Itachi said softly.
Through Momochi Zabuza, he clearly realized what Land of Water, who had not heard any news over the years, had gone through. Compared to the situation of Konoha, it was a hell-like country.
If you want to become Genin, you need to kill your companions in the Ninja Academy. If you want to go further, you need to add more blood to the blood mist. He has read the information of Kisame Hoshigaki. This rebellious ninja of Kirigakure, like him, is a guy who attacks his own compatriots.
It's just that the blood on this shark's hand doesn't seem as bright as the one on his own hand.
"But you are just a coward who escaped from the blood mist. You are a waste who can't even see your future clearly, aren't you..." The scar in his heart was touched, and Uchiha Itachi's words became sharper.
He felt a smelly wind passing by his ears, and an object containing chakra fell to his side. He knew that it was Ninja sword used by Kisame.
And Kisame looked through the side of Uchiha Itachi at the reflection in the lake. The shark fins rose from the water and rotated around the reflection of Uchi Itachi, but they did not dare to touch it at all, and swam more slowly, for fear that the ripples would scatter it.
Before he knew it, Yu Shi Kisame's momentum had been suppressed by Uchiha Itachi, even though he looked ferocious, even though his knife was already on Uchiha Itachi's side.
He was completely suppressed and lost in every aspect.
"Have you seen Uchiha Itachi?" Obito looked at Kisame beside him and asked in a low voice.
"He is a very powerful ninja, and he is also a very powerful person." Kisame smiled softly and gave his own evaluation, but did not intend to talk more.
"Is there any mission?" he asked.
"Yes." Obito looked around and saw no one around before telling what he wanted Kisame to do.
Kisame has received his assignment from Pain.
His first mission together with Uchiha Itachi was to get rid of the traitor of the organization, and that person was Orochimaru of Daimyo Dingding.
The reason why the task was handed over to them was because Uchiha Itachi once easily defeated one of Sannin. It is said that he only used a look.
If you can beat them the first time, you can beat them the second time. Ninjas like Sannin and Uchiha Itachi don't hold anything back when fighting. If you beat them the first time, you can definitely beat them the second time.
For such a simple task as Uchiha Itachi, why do you need to team up with him first and complete it together?
Although Pain spoke grandly when he assigned the task, describing Orochimaru as a slippery loach, he felt that there was a mystery in it.
The shark's sense of smell was really keen. Before he and Weasel set out, Obito came up to him.
"All the information Orochimaru has about Akatsuki must be recovered." Obito said softly.
"But there is one piece of information that you must pay special attention to and not give it directly to Pain." He said word for word, "As for his research on Rinnegan, especially on Rinnegan's abilities, you must give it to me first."
"I understand." Kisame nodded and accepted the task. He was originally a rebellious ninja recruited by Obito into Akatsuki, and he also agreed more with the future that Obito told him.
"Did you just go find Kisame?" Jue looked at Obito who appeared in front of him again, frowned and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to talk to your Lin, and you didn't want me to eavesdrop?"
"Yes, Lin and I talked about the members of Akatsuki. Yesterday I showed her what Rinnegan looked like. Today she told me that she wanted to see the person who looks very similar to Shark."
"So I took her to see Kisame." Obito shrugged and said with a smile, "Am I right, Lin?"
