Itachi rapidly retreated, arriving at Kisame's side.
Itachi narrowed his eyes at Mirai ahead of them and said in a low voice, "I think it's time for us to withdraw!"
"But..." Kisame gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness.

"I already activated my Mangekyo Sharingan and used Tsukuyomi on him, but he reflected it back at me!" Itachi said weakly.

And most of the time, he had fallen for Tsukuyomi without even realizing it.
Now that he heard Itachi say that his genjutsu had been reflected by a brat like Mirai, Kisame felt
