From atop a high building in Konoha, Jiraiya leaned against the iron railing, gazing down at the now ruined Konoha. A trace of sorrow flickered in his eyes. After all, he had personally witnessed Konoha's destruction. For him, who loved the village, there was nothing more painful than this.
"Lord Jiraiya," a young voice came from behind. Jiraiya turned his head and, seeing the person, was startled for a moment before speaking: "Yamato, are your injuries alright?"
The person who arrived was precisely Yamato, whom Sasuke believed to have died. The Anbu ninja who could use the First Hokage's Wood Style. At this moment, his left hand had disappeared, and his entire left arm was wrapped in medical bandages. "Much better, but Mr. Hizashi and Mr. Shibi, they..." Yamato said with a somewhat remorseful expression.
"That's not your fault. If you hadn't protected them with your Wood Style then, I'm afraid they would have already... Although they are severely wounded now, it's better than losing their lives." Jiraiya sighed and spoke.
"Yes, Mr. Shibi and Mr. Hizashi's injuries are very severe. With Konoha's current medical standards, they would need at least a year of recuperation to fully recover." Yamato sighed and said.
"Don't be so gloomy. Perhaps it won't take more than a year." Jiraiya said with a smile. "Huh?" Yamato was startled for a moment, then raised his head to look at Jiraiya. "Just now, the two advisors came to me and asked me to be the Fifth Hokage, but I refused. So I plan to bring Tsunade back." Jiraiya said lightly, looking at the puzzled Yamato.
"The Fifth Hokage!!!? Tsunade!? Is it Lord Tsunade, the one among the Three Sannin known as the Medical Saint!!! The granddaughter of the First Hokage!?" Yamato's eyes instantly widened, and he spoke in disbelief. Jiraiya's words were like a heavy hammer, fiercely striking his head.
"Not bad, how about that? Hahahaha." Jiraiya started laughing loudly as he spoke. "Mm, if that Lord is willing to come back, Konoha's situation will improve greatly." Yamato nodded and spoke.
Above a river on the outskirts of Konoha, Uchiha Itachi stood quietly on the water, his face indifferent, watching the three people across from him who looked somewhat exhausted: Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma. By the river, Kisame watched the confrontation in the water with interest.
Cool river water poured down from the sky, giving an incomparably refreshing feeling, but the expressions of Kakashi and the other two across the way were extremely grim. They watched Uchiha Itachi opposite them with incomparable caution.
After the brief exchange just now, the three immediately found themselves at a disadvantage. Especially Kakashi, who, in order to rescue Kurenai, had his water clone shattered by Uchiha Itachi, suffering some slight injuries.
Kakashi cursed under his breath a couple of times and said with extreme solemnity: "Don't be careless!!! He is a man who became an Anbu captain at only thirteen years old; his strength is far, far beyond this!!!"
"I didn't expect his strength to be so formidable!!! He's not like that Uchiha Sasuke who can be measured by common sense." Asuma said through gritted teeth. Having witnessed Uchiha Sasuke's terror, Asuma no longer dared to underestimate the Sharingan, especially ninjas of the Uchiha Clan who possessed the Sharingan.
"His ninjutsu casting speed is too fast!!! We can't react at all!!!" Kurenai also said with a solemn expression, holding kunai in her hand, watching Uchiha Itachi with extreme caution.
"As expected of Kakashi, to be able to utilize the Sharingan to this extent. It seems that after fighting Uchiha Sasuke, your use of the Sharingan has improved considerably." Uchiha Itachi looked at Kakashi with a slight surprise.
"He also knows Uchiha Sasuke?" Kakashi's eyes suddenly narrowed, but he didn't ask.
"However, your body is not that of our Uchiha clan, and it's fundamentally unsuitable for those eyes. No matter how you use them, you can never unleash the true power of that eye." Uchiha Itachi said indifferently.
"What he said is correct. I'm already quite exhausted!!! And the injuries I sustained earlier haven't healed yet." Kakashi thought secretly in his heart, "Just like with Uchiha Sasuke, fighting a true Sharingan inheritor relying solely on this eye of mine is truly too difficult."
"Why the Uchiha clan is called the strongest clan, and you who have fought Uchiha Sasuke should have witnessed the true power of the Uchiha clan's Bloodline Limit, so I'll help you recall it a bit more." Uchiha Itachi said lightly. As his words fell, the air instantly grew heavy, and the wind blowing across the river seemed to grow even fiercer.
"No, not good!!!!!" Kakashi's face drastically changed. He shouted loudly at the two behind him: "Don't look at his eyes!!! Otherwise, everything will be over!! He and Uchiha Sasuke have both activated those eyes. I'm afraid only my Sharingan can barely resist them."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes slowly opened, and a profound Dojutsu slowly spread out. "Although possessing a Sharingan can somewhat resist this Mangekyo Sharingan, it cannot resist the unique Genjutsu of these eyes, 'Tsukuyomi'." Uchiha Itachi's voice echoed in Kakashi's ear. Immediately, Kakashi's body violently trembled, his red Sharingan slightly contracted, and the world before his eyes instantly spun.
In the next moment, Kakashi's body fell violently onto the water. He gasped wildly, large beads of sweat emerging from his forehead. His expression turned extremely weary, and his eyes were almost unfocused, barely maintaining his body's balance relying solely on his willpower.
"Kakashi!!!! What's wrong with you!!!" Kurenai and Asuma, though their eyes were closed, also sensed Kakashi's condition and said anxiously.
"Not, not yet, you, you must not open your eyes." Kakashi said with difficulty, gasping for breath, his almost unfocused eyes staring fixedly at Uchiha Itachi, "Three days in that world were actually just an instant in the real world!!!"
"Oh? To be hit by that mental technique and not collapse? How interesting." Kisame instantly appeared by Uchiha Itachi's side, saying with a smile.
