Shinsei's heart leaped into his throat, and his mind raced as he considered a solution.
He remembered some details from the original work: Uchiha Itachi and Kisame had visited Konoha, though they were far away and wearing straw hats, but it was most likely them.
We cannot send out signals. Konoha has just experienced a major battle; we absolutely cannot fight in residential areas.
Kage Level battles are extremely chaotic and can easily cause unnecessary casualties. Ordinary ninjas are useless against these ninjas; only elite Jonin and above pose a threat.
Shinsei can't remember the details of the original story, and he doesn't know their purpose in coming to Konoha, but collecting the Tailed Beast is definitely one of them. And now Konoha has Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Gaara, the One-Tail Jinchuriki.
We need to notify Jiraiya immediately; only he can stop these two, especially Uchiha Itachi.
Although Shinsei gained confidence due to his improved strength, he wasn't arrogant enough to challenge Uchiha Itachi to a one-on-one fight. In his mind, Uchiha Itachi seemed to have never lost, and his battle wisdom was even more terrifying than his raw strength.
Shinsei Issen to a corner of Konoha, grabbed a ninja wearing an Anbu mask, whispered a few words in his ear, and the man quickly left.
"Mr. Itachi, your hometown is quite prosperous." Kisame, carrying a greatsword wrapped in gauze, grinned and looked around curiously at everything around him.
Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything and continued walking forward on his own. Kisame wasn't annoyed at all, as if he was already used to it.
The two entered a hotel. The owner glanced at the two strangely dressed people but didn't pay much attention and continued reading the novels in the cabinet.
Walking through the hotel corridor, the two went upstairs, and Uchiha Itachi opened a room door. A blond-haired boy was sitting in the room, lost in thought.
" Naruto Uzumaki." Kisame extended his free hand to greet him.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked warily, looking at the two strangers.
Uchiha Itachi didn't answer, but only said to Kisame, "Hurry up, Jiraiya will be back soon."
Kisame asked, "How did you lure him away?"
Uchiha Itachi uttered three words: " Transformation Technique."
"Come with us, Naruto Uzumaki." Kisame reached out to grab Naruto.
"I won't go with you!" Naruto shouted, flipping over and kicking.
Kisame didn't dodge. He stood the greatsword on his shoulder on the ground, and when Naruto kicked the sword with his right foot, he grabbed Naruto's foot with his left hand and pressed it against the sword.
Naruto felt his Chakra flowing continuously into the greatsword, and a sense of weakness surged through his body.
"What is this?" He had never felt this way before; his Chakra receded like a tide.
Kisame grinned and said, "Wow, I'm so full."
As if in response to his words, the greatsword wrapped in gauze began to twist.
Naruto had never been so weak. He collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless, and could only passively await his fate.
With a loud crash, a thin jet of water struck the sword wrapped in gauze.
The immense impact caused Kisame to lose his grip, and the greatsword was slammed into the wall after being struck.
A black-haired boy appeared inside the room. He grabbed Naruto by the collar and dragged him aside.
Shinsei stared at the great sword on the wall, its gauze ripped open by the Water Severing Wave, revealing countless sharp spikes.
Is this the strange sword that can absorb Chakra?
You took one of my Water Severing Wave and you're perfectly fine? Next time, I'll let you try Water Severing Wave cast with natural water.
It's called Samehada, right?
"Long time no see, Uchiha Itachi." Shinsei nodded slightly to Uchiha Itachi.
For the first time Uchiha Itachi showed an expression, somewhat surprised. "Long time no see, Shinsei, you've grown a lot taller."
Shinsei looked at Kisame: "May I ask how to address this gentleman?"
Kisame moved toward Samehada, which was embedded in the wall, and a long blue Chakra sword hummed as it blocked his way.
"You are qualified to know my name, Mr. Shinsei from Konoha. I am Kisame." Kisame stopped in his tracks.
" Kisame, could you please not take that thing? I'm a little wary of it."
" Shinsei, can you hand over Naruto Uzumaki to us?" Uchiha Itachi asked calmly.
"I'm so sorry, Uchiha Itachi, he's my comrade." Shinsei stared at Uchiha Itachi's chest, unable to meet his eyes.
"Then I apologize for offending you, Shinsei." Uchiha Itachi bowed slightly to Shinsei.
Shinsei kicked Naruto out of the window. "Go find Jiraiya!"
Just then, a crackling sound of electricity rang out, and Shinsei recognized it as Chidori's voice.
A bolt of lightning flashed, hurtling towards Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi grabbed the attacker's wrist and, with Chidori, pinned him to the wall using Chidori.
The wall was punched with a large hole by Chidori, and he raised his right foot to kick the attacker.
A blue Chakra sword struck rapidly, splitting Uchiha Itachi in two.
Quack quack!
The two separated pieces of Uchiha Itachi transformed into a dozen or so crows and scattered in all directions.
Is it Crow Clone?
Shinsei grabbed Sasuke and pulled him out of the window, only to find Naruto still lying on the ground.
Why don't you go find Jiraiya?
Naruto said, sounding aggrieved, "I don't have the strength."
Kisame took Samehada off the wall and carried it back on his shoulder. The two stood through the hole in the window, looking down at the three below.
Sasuke suddenly leaped up, but Shinsei grabbed him tightly.
"You're still so weak, my foolish brother. Have you forgotten the hatred for our clan?" Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke, his tone calm.
"Why? Why did you do such a thing!" Sasuke seemed lost in memories, tears unconsciously streaming down his face.
"To test my capacity."
"Capacity? Haha!" Sasuke Uchiha suddenly forced a smile, but his smile was so desolate.
Sasuke gritted his teeth, the twin tomoe in his Sharingan spinning rapidly, and squeezed out through the gaps in his teeth. "I'm going to kill you!"
"Calm down!" Shinsei pressed Sasuke forcefully. "You can't kill him now."
"Let's do it, there's no time," Uchiha Itachi said calmly.
"Don't look him in the eyes!" Before Shinsei could finish speaking, Sasuke screamed and fell to his knees.
Uchiha Itachi covered his left eye, and a tear of blood flowed from the corner of his eye.
How could you be so cruel to your younger brother?
Shinsei rapidly Hand Seals.
Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!
A vast darkness rose like a curtain, enveloping everything around it.
Shinsei lifted Sasuke and Naruto with both hands and led them aside.
Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Fire!
Countless flames composed of Chakra spewed from Uchiha Itachi's mouth, accurately striking the three of them.
Water Release: Water Formation Wall!
The rotating water wall enveloped the three of them, and the Fire Style struck the water wall, causing it to shake violently.
This is much more powerful than Sasuke's, but it won't be so easy to break through Shinsei's defense.
How did he find his location? Did he listen to the sounds?
"Let's go." Uchiha Itachi stopped fighting and immediately turned around.
"Aren't you going to catch the Nine-Tails anymore?"
"There's no time."
Without further ado, the two sped off in one direction, with Kisame wielding his greatsword to clear the way, smashing everything in his path.
Shinsei watched the two leave without stopping them.
Quack!
A Frog Song rang out, and the enormous tumor enveloped the two who had just emerged from the darkness.
"Haha, Toad Sage Jiraiya arrived!"
