Joining the Akatsuki, Chuan Yu Meets Itachi Uchiha Again

On the eaves.

Standing beside Konan were the immortal duo.

Hidan and Kakuzu.

Chuanyu naturally didn't understand why they were here.

"Are they reinforcements?"

Mei Terumi quickly formed hand seals.

"Water Style! Water Dragon Bullet!"

Kakuzu stepped forward.

"Fire Style! Searing Migraine!"

Water and fire merged, creating a massive explosion.

Instantly, a vast expanse of mist spread out.

"Who are you?!"

Mei Terumi, sensing the opponent's strength, halted her attack.

"There are still people who don't know us, the Akatsuki!"

"Are you doing this on purpose?!"

Hidan lifted his cloak.

A giant scythe materialized in his palm.

Hearing the reply, Mei Terumi suddenly froze.

"Is it that organization rumored in the ninja world recently?!"

"Ao! Arrange for reinforcements!"

"Yes!"

Mei Terumi leaped to the opposite side of the eaves.

The four formed a confrontational stance.

Chuanyu and Karin were caught in the middle.

"Uchiha Chuanyu, I never expected you to be associated with the Akatsuki."

"Then killing you would be eliminating a scourge for the ninja world?"

Mei Terumi stared coldly at Chuanyu.

He now seemed like meat on a chopping block.

As long as he was in the Mist Village.

Mei Terumi would not let him go.

Chuanyu gave a bitter smile: "I have no connection with the Akatsuki at all. You're quite good at finding excuses."

"You've been hostile towards me from the start."

"Is this how your Mist Village treats guests?"

"But it doesn't matter, I was going to leave anyway."

"Farewell!"

Chuanyu, with Karin, jumped to the ground.

Then they quickly ran towards the outskirts of the village.

"Damn it! Don't even think about leaving!"

Mei Terumi pursued them closely.

Konan, Hidan, and Kakuzu rushed to intercept.

The Mist Village ninja led by Ao and Chojuro were not enough to stop Chuanyu.

Seeing Chuanyu break through the defenses and escape.

Mei Terumi's rage erupted.

"I'll capture all of you as well!"

"Boil Style! Solid Fog Jutsu!"

High-temperature mist was spat from Mei Terumi's mouth.

The acidic scent in the air immediately filled the noses of the three.

"Hold your breath!"

Konan and the other two quickly retreated.

"You two keep her occupied, I'll go after Uchiha Chuanyu!"

Konan instructed the two, then spread her wings and flew into the sky.

Kakuzu let out a sinister laugh as he faced Mei Terumi.

"I've taken countless hearts..."

"But it seems this is the first time with a woman..."

"Let's see if you can melt my hardest technique!"

"Earth Style! Earth Spear!"

Kakuzu clenched his fists, his skin turning black in that instant.

The battle was about to erupt.

On the other side, Chuan Yu had already passed Mist Village's final defense.

He suddenly looked up.

Konan had caught up.

Chuan Yu finally stopped as he reached the mountaintop opposite.

Behind him, Konan floated in the air, looking at him expressionlessly.

"I just don't understand?"

"Why are you chasing me?"

Chuan Yu turned his head and asked in confusion.

His escape from Mist Village was because he wanted to use Konan and the others to tie down Mei Terumi.

That woman, as the Fifth Mizukage, naturally had some strength.

Moreover, Mei Terumi's target was him.

Chuan Yu didn't want to be bothered with fighting.

But what he couldn't understand was how Konan knew he was in the Land of Water.

"I've come to ask you to join Akatsuki."

"How about it?"

"We can discuss your terms."

Konan retracted her wings and landed in front of Chuan Yu.

The moment their eyes met.

Chuan Yu truly saw a sincere attitude in Konan's eyes.

"Join Akatsuki?"

"On what grounds?"

Chuan Yu's brows suddenly furrowed.

When he thought of Akatsuki, the only person he could think of was Itachi.

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"We've taken notice of your strength."

"With your joining, our team will become even stronger."

"Besides, you're no longer from Konoha."

"Why not consider it?"

As soon as Konan finished speaking, Chuan Yu was stunned.

He hadn't expected Akatsuki's information network to be so well-informed.

They even knew he had left Konoha.

It seemed they had been eyeing him for a long time.

Seeing Chuan Yu remain silent for a long time, Konan understood his meaning.

"You're worried about Itachi, aren't you?"

"I've already come to an agreement with Itachi."

"If you join Akatsuki, all past matters will be wiped clean."

Mentioning Itachi, Chuan Yu's heart skipped a beat.

He hadn't expected Itachi to compromise on him joining Akatsuki.

But then again, Chuan Yu felt there was no longer any affection between him and Itachi.

Itachi saw him as a tool.

Then there was no need for him to dwell on the past.

People always had to look forward; heartache only came from lingering in the past.

Besides, there was no affection between him and the Hyuga, so even if Itachi wiped out their clan.

By saving the Uchiha, he had taken on that responsibility for Itachi.

The two owed each other nothing.

Shisui was already dead, and promises were not made to the dead.

After all, the most fragile thing in this world.

Was emotion...

If he wanted to become strong, how could he be swayed by emotions?

"I understand..."

Chuan Yu responded indifferently.

Konan's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Then, if you want us to help you destroy the Uchiha, we can..."

"No need, I deserve this..."

Chuan Yu directly interrupted Konan.

"Then..."

"Let's go... I'll take you to see Itachi."

"Since we're all in the same boat now, we naturally need to help each other."

"I think you should catch up with him."

Just then, Kakuzu and Hidan also rushed back.

"Hurry! That crazy woman is catching up!"

Hidan and Kakuzu leaped past the three and ran without looking back.

To prevent being held back by Mei Terumi again.

Chuan Yu and Karin followed Konan to the Akatsuki base.

Inside the dark cave.

A wild rabbit quietly appeared.

From a gap in the rocks, a patterned white snake slowly crawled out.

While the rabbit was still worrying about finding food.

The white snake had already reached its back.

In the darkness, a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly opened.

Itachi slowly stood up and looked towards the cave entrance.

In a daze, a figure gradually walked towards the bright candlelight.

"Itachi, long time no see."

The candlelight stretched their shadows.

Under the flickering flame of the candlelight.

Itachi clearly saw Chuan Yu's appearance.

However, there was no expression on Itachi's face.

"Yes."

"You've grown up, Chuan Yu."

The two stared at each other.

A muffled sound suddenly echoed in the air.

Karin, outside the cave, suddenly sensed something was happening inside.

She took a step and turned to run towards the cave.

"You can't go in."

Konan quickly came to Karin's side and blocked her.

"The two of them are brothers!"

"Are you going to let them kill each other?!"

Karin looked anxiously at the cave.

"If some things aren't resolved..."

"They'll fester sooner or later."

Konan responded indifferently to Karin.

At the same time.

Five minutes had passed with the two people in the cave frozen in place.

Neither spoke, merely gazing at each other calmly.

Suddenly, Chuan Yu's left eye's Mangekyo began to spin rapidly.

Then, looking at Itachi.

Both of his Mangekyo eyes did the same.

Their vision began to distort.

Redness gradually crept into their eyes.

At some unknown point, a large number of crows appeared above their heads.

The moment the crows let out their calls.

They each took a step back, the illusionary world like a mirror.

Cracks spread through it, shattering it to pieces.

Blood immediately flowed from the corners of Itachi's eyes.

"Chuan Yu..."

"Let me see just how far you've grown..."

Couldn't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author, perhaps the title has changed!
