A flash of the blade crossed Itachi's eyes.
Instantly!
The two rushed towards each other at high speed!
Their figures collided.
Their Mangekyo Sharingan met.
Chuan Yu drew his long sword and slashed quickly.
Itachi hurriedly retreated.
At the same time, he threw out several shuriken.
"Fire Style! Hōsenka Tsume Akai!"
The flames hidden within the shuriken suddenly erupted.
Chuan Yu remained still, instantly riddled with holes.
However, soon.
He transformed into a swarm of crows and scattered.
A genjutsu was triggered, and Chuan Yu's figures appeared incessantly around Itachi.
Even if they were hit.
They were merely crow decoys.
"Are you just going to keep hiding?!"
Itachi, who had been observing his surroundings, suddenly locked onto a direction.
"Amaterasu!"
Blood immediately spilled from the corner of Itachi's eye.
The next second, a green Susanoo wielding a Spiral Sword soared into the sky.
Chuan Yu tilted his head slightly, looking at the layer of black flames covering the Susanoo's surface.
It seemed Itachi was getting serious.
"Sword Over Flame!"
The Spiral Sword in the Susanoo's hand was instantly engulfed in flames.
The moment Chuan Yu took a step forward.
The Spiral Sword spun at high speed in the air.
The air vibrated and rippled.
Itachi frowned as he looked at Chuan Yu.
"Ah!!!!"
Chuan Yu roared and thrust his sword towards Itachi.
The instant he got close to Itachi, an orange-red Susanoo appeared from Itachi's body.
Spreading its arms.
The Spiral Sword in Chuan Yu's Susanoo was firmly grasped by Itachi's Susanoo's hands.
Although Itachi's Susanoo was not a complete body.
Its power was still a notch above Chuan Yu's.
The moment the two Susanoo clashed.
It was deafening outside the cave.
The entire surrounding land trembled.
"You truly surprise me."
Itachi smiled faintly and retracted his Susanoo.
Chuan Yu was suddenly stunned.
"There's no point in continuing to fight."
"Congratulations on joining Akatsuki."
His expression was indifferent.
His response was perfunctory.
Chuan Yu suddenly felt a sense of loss.
Watching Itachi walk out of the cave, Chuan Yu suddenly called out to him.
"What was your reason for attacking the Hyuga?"
As a transmigrator, Chuan Yu naturally knew Itachi's character.
By all rights, if the Uchiha had not been annihilated, Itachi would not have decided to defect from Konoha.
The original story was due to the Uchiha clan's coup intentions being irreversible.
Konoha initiated the Uchiha Clan Annihilation Plan.
To protect Sasuke, Itachi was forced to act first, annihilating his clan and embarking on this path of no return.
At the same time, he joined Akatsuki as a spy.
So, if the Uchiha were not annihilated, at least Sasuke is normal now, there's no fault in that.
But what puzzled Chuan Yu was that the Uchiha were protected, yet the Hyuga were annihilated by Itachi.
There must be a reason for this.
Itachi suddenly stopped, his back to Chuan Yu, and he still hadn't spoken.
He fumbled inside his clothes and threw something directly at Chuan Yu.
At this moment, Chuan Yu, who suddenly understood, his eyes gradually welled up.
Just like in the original story.
This time, he must have shouldered another mission...
But one thing was certain.
Itachi had never changed.
Chuan Yu slowly opened his right hand, and an Uchiha clan crest lay quietly in his palm.
Gradually, Chuan Yu looked at Itachi's retreating back and smiled.
Outside the cave.
Konan and the others were still waiting.
When Itachi and Chuan Yu came out together, everyone's suspended hearts finally settled.
"Starting today, you are a member of Akatsuki."
"You and Karin will be in the same group."
"Pleasure working with you."
Konan walked up to Chuan Yu and extended her right hand.
Chuan Yu shook it.
Oh! So soft!
"Accompany me to Konoha."
Itachi suddenly spoke from the side.
Chuan Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Konan.
Konan frowned slightly, a wave of confusion washing over her.
"What are you two brothers up to?"
Itachi suddenly looked towards the distant mountain peaks.
"Capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto."
"So I'm leaving?"
Kisame felt a pang of sadness.
Were teammates replaced just like that?
And here I was, holding an umbrella for you.
"You'll team up with Karin first and cooperate with Konan on a mission."
"Itachi and I have some other matters to attend to."
Kisame glanced sideways at Karin and let out a disdainful snort.
"You're still snorting?"
"Look at you, big guy! You look like a fish!"
"Who knows when someone will pin you to the ground and beat you soundly!"
The two were clearly at odds.
Chuan Yu helplessly held his forehead.
Fortunately, Karin was very obedient.
Kisame also compromised with Itachi.
Putting on the red cloud black coat.
Wearing the bell-adorned cloak and taking out the ring Konan had prepared for him earlier.
Chuan Yu was ready.
Unlike others.
Chuan Yu and Karin's rings were inscribed with the characters for Heaven and Earth.
It was clear Konan had put a lot of thought into it.
Ding-a-ling~
As the wind chimes rang, sandstorms swept across the sky.
The two, one after the other, set foot on the path back to Konoha.
But just then.
Chuan Yu suddenly noticed a new name appearing on his Favorability System.
[Konan: 100 Favorability Points.]
[Hidan: 10 Favorability Points.]
[Kakuzu: 5 Favorability Points.]
[Mei Terumi: 200 Favorability Points.]
[Itachi Uchiha: 500 Favorability Points.]
Chuan Yu froze.
Itachi's favorability towards him was 500 points?!
If that was the case, Itachi's previous actions against him and his defection from Konoha might have all been an act!
What puzzled Chuan Yu was Mei Terumi, the Scorpion Beauty, who had wanted to kill him, actually had 200 favorability points towards him.
What kind of twisted operation was this?
[The maximum favorability value is 500 points, representing the host's importance in the other party's heart.]
[Varies from person to person, each person's favorability will be different. If the other party likes the host, reaching 500 favorability points means they will willingly do anything the host says.]
[For example, Karin... (not the heroine, just a metaphor.)]
[Forming a bond with someone who likes the host has a high chance of triggering system incentive rewards! The rewards will be related to that person! The prerequisite is reaching 500 favorability points!]
[If it's friendship or familial love, it symbolizes never betraying.]
[The higher the favorability between the other party and the host, the greater the chance of both parties receiving system incentives!]
[At the same time, the host will have a very high chance of triggering special incentives based on the other party's emotions! The rewards for these incentives will also be related to that person!]
"So that's how it is..."
With that, Chuan Yu understood.
Mei Terumi liked good men.
And Chuan Yu had kept his promise, so in Mei Terumi's subconscious, Chuan Yu was defined as a good man.
However, because of Chuan Yu's terrifying potential, Mei Terumi wanted to kill him.
In short, it was a case of love unfulfilled, where neither could have peace.
The two hurried through the night and finally reached the border of Konoha.
Chuan Yu turned his head to look at Itachi beside him.
Actually, he knew in his heart that Itachi wasn't really here to capture Naruto.
The most important thing was to see how much Sasuke had grown.
After all, Chuan Yu had been in Konoha before, so Itachi had been at ease.
Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi was dead and Chuan Yu had left Konoha, the older brother couldn't rest easy.
However, they still needed to put on a show.
After all, there were still two tails following behind them.
Glancing sideways.
In a patch of jungle, Sasori and Deidara were staring intently at him and Itachi.
It seemed Konan didn't fully trust them and had sent people to monitor them.
Interesting...
Then, Sasuke.
Second Brother might have to apologize to you...
You must understand, the pain in your body is the pain in my heart...
