Magic Lantern Body Technique After being lifted, Itachi slowly opened his eyes.
Kisame also recovered quickly. He moved his somewhat stiff shoulders and lifted Samehada who was leaning next to him again.
"Everyone goes out together. It seems that the leader is serious this time."
Kisame stood up and looked up at the sky.
"We'll get to the northwest border of Land of Fire in four days. I'm afraid I won't be able to rest for the next few days, Mr. Weasel."
Itachi stood up on his knees.
They are now located deep in a mountain forest, with almost no human beings around. In order to attend a meeting, the two of them temporarily found a secluded place to stop. It was not long before dark.
"Let's go."
Weasel didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the woods.
Kisame followed behind, and the bandage on Samehada kept shaking with the footsteps, and occasionally there were a few rubbing sounds from inside.
The two quickly left the mountain forest and rushed along a river in the direction of Land of Fire.
Itachi was always walking in front, with no change visible on his face, but his mind kept thinking about what Pain had just said.
Seven days later.
Akatsuki All personnel are dispatched.
With Jiraiya's strength, ordinary members may not be able to keep him. But there are too many people dispatched this time, and Pain himself will be sitting in the dark. Jiraiya also needs to protect Naruto. Once surrounded, it will not be so easy to leave.
This message must be sent back to Konoha.
Itachi's gaze swept across the front, but the speed of his feet was not affected at all.
The message must be sent out, Naruto cannot be caught so easily.
But who can come to save Naruto now?
This message cannot be delivered to Danzo.
Itachi knew that person too well.
As long as the final result is beneficial to Konoha, Danzo never cares how many people die in the middle. Whether Jiraiya or Naruto, in his eyes, they are probably just chips that can be put on the table.
Itachi couldn't risk their lives on what choice Danzo would make.
What's more, once Konoha mobilizes ninjas on a large scale, Akatsuki will soon notice it. Not only will he not be able to save anyone, but he will also be completely exposed.
You must find someone you can trust and who won't immediately alarm Danzo.
Itachi quickly thought of someone.
Kakashi Hatake.
A few years ago, he and Kakashi stayed together in Anbu. There was no familiarity between the two, but Itachi knew Kakashi's character. As long as the news was related to Naruto and Jiraiya, he would definitely not sit idly by.
After driving for more than two hours, Itachi's breathing gradually became heavy.
He raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed several times. When he put his hand down, there was already a little bright red blood on his palm.
Itachi clenched his palms, hid the blood in his sleeves, and continued to move forward.
Kisame, who was walking behind, still noticed it.
"Mr. Itachi."
Itachi didn't look back.
"What's wrong?"
"Your health seems to be worse than last time."
Kisame sped up and caught up to him in a few steps.
"There is a river ahead. Let's stop for a while. The leader has given us four days, so there is no need to wear down our bodies now."
Itachi originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing the river in front of him, he was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
The two soon arrived at the river.
Kisame placed Samehada next to a stone, took off the water bag from his waist, and walked downstream.
Itachi sat down against a tree.
He watched Kisame walk away, and after confirming that the other party's attention had been diverted, he reached into his ninja bag and took out a small piece of paper.
The piece of paper is only as wide as a finger and is almost invisible when rolled up.
Itachi took out a short pen again, lowered his head and wrote a few words quickly.
Seven days later.
Land of Fire Northwestern Frontier.
All Akatsuki members are dispatched, target Nine-Tails.
After finishing writing, Itachi read it over again to make sure there was nothing missing, and then rolled up the paper.
Suddenly there was a sound of flapping wings in the tree crown.
A Crow landed on a nearby branch and looked at the ferret with its black eyes.
Itachi raised his head, scarlet Sharingan flashed in his eyes.
Crow immediately flew down from the branch and landed on his arm.
Itachi tied the note to Crow's leg.
"Leave it to Kakashi Hatake."
Crow tilted its head, as if it understood his order. Then, it spread its wings and flew into the distance close to the tree crown.
Itachi kept watching it fly out of the woods before putting the short pen back into his ninja bag.
Not long after, Kisame came back carrying a water bag filled with water.
"Mr. Itachi, drink some water."
Kisame handed the water bag to Itachi and sat down next to him.
"Let's rest for half an hour before leaving."
Itachi caught the water bag, raised his head and drank a few sips.
The cold water flowed down his throat, and the raging smell of blood in his chest finally faded away.
Kisame looked at his pale face and couldn't help but said:
"After this mission is over, you'd better find a medical ninja to take a look. If this continues, you may fall down before Nine-Tails is caught."
Itachi put the water bag next to him.
"I know my own body."
Kisame did not continue to persuade me after hearing this.
Having been partners for so long, he already knew what Itachi's character was like. Once this man decided on something, no matter how much others said, it was useless.
Half an hour later, the two were back on the road.
The Crow flew all the way east, flying over mountains, forests and rivers. It wasn't until late the next night that it finally entered the Konoha.
Tuk Tuk.
Suddenly there were two soft sounds outside the window.
Kakashi raised his head from the book and glanced out the window.
A Crow was standing on the edge of the window, pecking at the glass with its beak. There was a small piece of paper tied to its leg. When Kakashi looked over, it pecked twice with its beak.
Kakashi put down the book in his hand, stood up and opened the window.
Crow didn't fly into the room, it just lifted one leg.
Kakashi After untying the paper roll, it immediately spread its wings and quickly disappeared into the night.
Kakashi stood by the window, looking at the direction Crow was leaving, and slowly narrowed his exposed eye.
He closed the window and unfolded the note.
The content above is very short.
Kakashi After reading it, the laziness on his face disappeared instantly.
Seven days later, all members of Akatsuki were dispatched.
The target is Naruto.
The note was not signed, but the person responsible for delivering the letter, Crow, is enough to explain a lot of things.
"Weasel..."
Kakashi rerolled the note, stuffed it into the inner pocket of the ninja vest, turned around and walked out.
In less than half an hour, he arrived at the yard where Tsunade lived.
Tsunade hasn't slept yet.
She was sitting at the table, with several books by Medical Ninjutsu in front of her, and next to them were the records left by Sakura during today's training.
After Kakashi entered the door, he put the note directly in front of her without saying anything.
"Just received it."
Tsunade glanced at him and picked up the note.
After she saw the content clearly, her sleepy eyes immediately woke up.
"Where did it come from?"
"A Crow was delivered to my window."
Tsunade looked up at him.
"Itachi Uchiha?"
"It should be him."
Kakashi Pull out the chair and sit down.
"I can't think of a second person who knows about Akatsuki's operation and can control Crow."
Tsunade looked down at the note again.
"Is the news credible?"
"I'm not sure."
Kakashi paused.
"But this matter cannot be treated as false news. If we wait until the seventh day to confirm it, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Tsunade stared at the note for a long time.
Akatsuki All personnel are dispatched.
She had seen with her own eyes the injuries sustained after the battle between Chiya and Akatsuki, and also knew the strength of those people. Now these people are all rushing towards Naruto and Jiraiya, and the matter has gone far beyond the scope of ordinary tasks.
"Don't tell Danzo about this first."
Kakashi is not surprised by this.
"That's what I thought too."
They all know the reason why Jiraiya took away Naruto. Once the news reaches Hokage Office, Danzo may not first consider how to save people.
Tsunade put the note back on the table, stood up and walked to the window.
"Seven days..."
She looked at the night outside and quickly counted the time.
"Check their location from now on. The information cannot pass through the mission system, and people directly under Hokage cannot be used."
Kakashi stood up.
"I'm going to find some people I trust."
Tsunade turned around.
"Look for it first, don't tell them the specific reason yet."
Kakashi nodded and picked up the note on the table.
Tsunade added another sentence:
"This time the entire Akatsuki team is dispatched. We alone may not be able to stop them."
Kakashi's movements paused for a moment.
He naturally understood what Tsunade meant.
They also need reinforcements.
And it must be someone who can really change the situation of the war.
