Facing the finger bones shooting toward them, Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, landing on a tree trunk nearby.
Itachi glanced at Naruto and realized that Naruto did not seem to intend to fight.
"Hmph." Seeing his attack miss, Kimimaro's killing intent intensified.
Kimimaro knew there was no time to waste. Orochimaru was in terrible condition now and urgently needed Sasuke for reincarnation.
"Where is Sasuke?"
Itachi had no intention of answering him.
But Naruto, not far away, spoke up. "Sasuke is still in Konoha. Even if you rush to Konoha now, it's already too late. Orochimaru doesn't have that much time to wait."
Hearing this, Kimimaro gritted his teeth and cursed Sakon and Ukon, Kidomaru, Tayuya, and Jirobo in his heart.
Because of those four useless fools, they had not even managed to bring Sasuke out of Konoha. They were utterly worthless.
Naruto said with a grin, "But don't worry. The one standing before you is Itachi Uchiha."
"Uchiha?" Kimimaro looked at Itachi and saw that he indeed had red pupils. So that was the Sharingan.
"You noticed it already. That's right, it's the Sharingan—the same Sharingan Sasuke has." Naruto stirred the pot. "The Itachi Uchiha standing before you is Sasuke's older brother."
"You can take him back to Orochimaru. He's an even better vessel than Sasuke."
Naruto said with a dark expression, "Orochimaru once ambushed Itachi and tried to take his Sharingan, but Orochimaru lost."
Itachi was startled. He was very curious as to why Naruto knew about that.
After hearing Naruto's account, Kimimaro agreed with him. If he could capture Itachi and bring him back, Lord Orochimaru would surely be delighted.
However, Kimimaro was far too loyal to Orochimaru. He devoted himself to thinking about Orochimaru at every
