Sensing movement around him, Itachi calmly drew his kunai.
At the same time, two Shadow Clones appeared beside Izumi.
Izumi was not weak herself, and with his two Shadow Clones protecting her, there would be no problem.
"Uchiha?"
"Hahaha, I never expected to run into Uchiha brats here!"
"Since that's the case, none of you are leaving!"
Nine people stepped out of the woods.
"Kirigakure?"
