"Boom--"

Tsunade, who was reviewing her work in the Hokage Building, was suddenly awakened by a clap of thunder.

Brush!

She stood up from the Hokage chair.

Through the window, I could see that the sky outside was covered with dark clouds.

She had a vague sense of unease.

"This is... could it be Itachi Uchiha?!"

If the village were to be attacked from within during this period, it could only be by Itachi Uchiha alone.

But she clearly sent out Anbu Ninja to keep an eye on Itachi Uchiha, so why haven't they arrived yet...?

Just then, a series of anxious footsteps came from outside.

An Anbu Ninja approached her.

"Lord Hokage! Something terrible has happened!"

Tsunade frowned and glanced at him. "Is this what you meant by 'not saying well'?"

She pointed to the sky.

The Anbu was momentarily embarrassed, but still nodded. "Yes... Lord Hokage, Itachi Uchiha and Uchiha Sasuke are fighting."

"Hmph, I've been telling you to keep an eye on things, why are you so late! What will you do if something happens to the village?"

Tsunade rebuked in a low voice.

The Anbu Ninja immediately lowered his head, feeling deeply ashamed.

In fact, they had been monitoring Itachi Uchiha and Uchiha Sasuke's meeting for a while and even sensed that they might end up fighting.

It was only because of Itachi Uchiha's identity that they felt it was only right for someone like him to die.

After Clan massacre, it was a massacre of the entire Uchiha Clan; even they found it outrageous that one person could kill the entire clan.

Therefore, if they leave it unattended, once Sasuke is injured by Itachi, they can use the pretext of harming villagers in the village to execute Itachi Uchiha on the spot.

However, as the situation seemed to get a little out of control, they decided to inform Tsunade.

"Walk!"

Anbu, not wanting to argue further, headed directly to the scene with the Tsunade.

On Sasuke's side, Kirin roared and charged towards Itachi Uchiha.

It moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Itachi from high above in the blink of an eye.

"Its power and speed are both good, but unfortunately..."

An orange-yellow shield-shaped weapon suddenly appeared in the hand of Itachi Uchiha Susanoo.

Yata Mirror!

The Kirin crashed into the shield, only to be completely absorbed by the Yata Mirror!

The S-rank Ninjutsu was instantly countered.

"How is that possible!"

Uchiha Sasuke utterly shocked.

The S-rank Ninjutsu Kirin was the most Yamato and suitable Ninjutsu that Kanami had taught him this week, yet Itachi Uchiha easily blocked it.

For a fleeting moment, a trace of the apprehension he felt when he first encountered Itachi Uchiha returned to his heart.

"It's powerful, but useless. If you don't have any other abilities, you shouldn't even think about avenging your parents. Wouldn't it be better for you to hide and live a life of quiet desperation with your limited strength?"

"Itachi Uchiha said coldly."

Why!

Why can't I beat him even though I've become so strong?!

Sasuke didn't hear a single word Itachi Uchiha; his mind was filled with self-doubt.

Just then, a figure appeared.

"It's normal that you can't beat him. You've only been training for a few days, and you think you can fight Kage-level opponent after just one week of learning from me? Don't forget you're still a Genin."

Kanami's voice came through.

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Uchiha Sasuke's despairing heart.

"Teacher Kanami!"

Kanami rolled his eyes. "Now you know to call me teacher? Before, you wouldn't call me by my Feudal Lord. You said you were biding your time to defeat me, and now you're crawling on the ground?"

Sasuke instantly jumped to his feet. "How could I possibly beat Sensei? I was just too cocky back then."

"Teacher Kanami, if you help me kill him, I'll give you my Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Sasuke said fiercely.

Kanami raised an eyebrow.

"You just want to Mangekyō Sharingan like that? And you're giving it to me?"

"And didn't you say you were going to kill him yourself? Why aren't you doing it now?"

After Kanami finished speaking, he looked at Itachi Uchiha.

The man in front of me is the one I'm dealing with. Why would I teach you Ninjutsu for a week?

Should I kill my employer?

Although the employer has settled the matter, the main problem is that the Mangekyō Sharingan was useless.

He's not some eyeball enthusiast; he already has enough to build with just one Mangekyo and one Rinnegan.

Sasuke scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. "Once is enough, twice is not enough, but three times is not enough. I've failed three times already. I don't think I can truly defeat him. If Master Kanami can defeat him, then I will have defeated him."

"After all, you are my teacher."

You've become quite the talker!

Kanami's slightly raised eyebrows never lowered.

However, he also understood that Sasuke this primarily because he wanted Sasuke to help him kill Itachi Uchiha.

Otherwise, Kakashi wouldn't have been called "teacher" for so many years without ever having done so, yet he would have called someone his own age "teacher."

"Itachi Uchiha, do you think I can kill you?"

Kanami looked calmly at Itachi Uchiha and asked.

Itachi Uchiha nodded. "Of course, feel free to give it a try."

Kanami's eyes narrowed instantly.

He understood the meaning behind Itachi Uchiha's words: he wanted to die.

However, he didn't want to grant Itachi Uchiha. Killing him wouldn't do him any good, and if Sasuke found out the truth later, he might hold a grudge against him, which would be troublesome.

Just then, Tsunade and the Anbu from before arrived at the scene.

"Kanami! What are you doing here?!"

Tsunade abruptly stopped and rushed to Kanami and Sasuke's side. "Itachi! What are you doing!"

I was strolling around the village.

Tsunade:???

You're just wandering around in Susanoo, aren't you?

"I already told you, we're still verifying the information you provided. I told you not to run around, and yet you ended up fighting with your brother in the village, didn't you?"

"It wasn't me who wanted the duel; Sasuke came up to me and tried to hit me, so I was forced to fight back. I didn't really fight back, otherwise he would be dead by now."

Itachi Uchiha said calmly.

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.

Although it sounded harsh to Uchiha Sasuke, he simply clenched his fists and didn't argue.

Because what Itachi Uchiha said was true; he really couldn't beat Itachi Uchiha.

Although it seemed like he was on the offensive just now, Itachi Uchiha was actually in complete control; he simply didn't choose to counterattack.

Tsunade turned to Uchiha Sasuke and shouted, "Uchiha Sasuke, you're the same! I understand that you want revenge, but you're just a Genin right now. You need to pass the Chunin exam first!"

"Hmph, I understand, Hokage."

Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly, showing great disdain.

Even in this situation, he still did not use honorifics with Tsunade.

Tsunade merely frowned; knowing Sasuke's situation, she didn't criticize him further.

"Itachi Uchiha, you've caused a minor disturbance in the village. The monitoring of you needs to be upgraded; you can only move within the areas I designate from now on."

"Are you trying to send me to jail?"

Itachi Uchiha asked calmly.

"Go to jail? Not at all. You can go somewhere else if you want, but you need to accept and complete commissions; otherwise, you can't go anywhere."

Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly.

Itachi Uchiha: "Doing a commissioned mission, huh? Well, that's like working for Konoha. Okay."

"Kanami, kill me another day. I need to go accept a new quest now."

Kanami crossed his arms behind his head and said calmly, "I won't kill you. You can go wherever you want."

After saying that, he was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave when Sasuke grabbed him in that instant. "Teacher Kanami! Help me kill him!"
