Chapter 136 - Chapter 137: Akatsuki Appears

After seeing Sasuke off, Natsuki stretched lazily.

He didn't expect Sasuke to come for advice, and with such a sincere attitude. Naturally, he wasn't stingy with sharing.

Although he didn't plan to interfere with the savior's life, Sasuke was a friend. Since he took the initiative to seek him out, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, otherwise, it would be too heartless.

Moreover, if his words could help Sasuke, perhaps it would be a good thing.

Sasuke's first half of life was too difficult. It would be better if he didn't fall into darkness. Going to Orochimaru's place wasn't good. It's better to stay in Konoha. At least he still has a group of comrades and friends. At least he won't be lonely.

As long as he knows how to become stronger, then Orochimaru's power will no longer be attractive to him.

As for the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre, that involves the F4, or rather, Danzo still has to take the blame. This isn't important. With Danzo's ambition, he will definitely cause trouble before the grand finale. At that time, it will naturally be dealt with by killing him. It would be best if Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatate also died together. Konoha doesn't need these old geezers to continue sucking blood.

It's best to let Sasuke understand that the Uchiha clan massacre was the F4's decision and has little to do with Konoha.

Just find the four old geezers for revenge. It's better not to destroy Konoha. After all, Konoha has a lot of Tenten's family's assets. If it were destroyed like this, wouldn't Natsuki suffer a great loss?

Natsuki yawned, remembering that he hadn't had a nap, and felt a bit lazy for a moment.

Seeing that it was getting late, perhaps it was time to buy groceries. It had been a long time since he cooked, so he might as well show off his skills today.

He picked up a vegetable basket and went out the door.

Meanwhile, Sasuke looked at the paper in his hand. It recorded his strengths and weaknesses, as well as Natsuki's training experience and important advice. The more he read, the more reasonable he found it.

"It seems I used to just blindly train, no wonder my progress was so slow. In comparison, Natsuki is very smart and knows how to make himself stronger quickly. He was only six years old when he pursued Tenten, right? Did he start thinking about ways to become stronger back then? Now he is twelve years old, which means he has been working hard to become stronger for six years, while I was just foolishly learning school knowledge. It's normal that he is stronger than me!"

Thinking this, Sasuke carefully put away the paper.

The contents of the paper were very important to him. He also needed to think and plan carefully. He couldn't be as foolish as before.

"Right, while it's still early, I should go find Kakashi."

Thinking this, Sasuke turned around and began to head to the places where Kakashi usually hung out, such as the Shueisha, Ichiraku Ramen, the dango shop, and so on.

However, as soon as he reached the vicinity of the dango shop, he saw Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi running on the rooftops.

Three Jonin rushing around like that, something must have happened!

Sasuke intuitively felt that something big had happened, so he immediately followed, but he didn't call out to Kakashi because he knew that if it was a big deal, Kakashi wouldn't let him participate. So he simply trailed far behind.

And Sasuke didn't notice that Natsuki, who had gone out to buy groceries, saw this scene.

Not long after, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi chased the two mysterious figures wearing straw hats and black cloaks with red clouds to a small river outside the village. They were Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, who had come to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Then, a conflict erupted between the two sides.

Asuma Sarutobi faced Kisame Hoshigaki but was injured by the greatsword, Samehada.

Kurenai Yuhi tried to use Genjutsu to capture Itachi Uchiha but was easily repelled by Itachi Uchiha and was also injured for a time.

Kisame Hoshigaki quickly performed hand seals, and a water dragon immediately rose from the water, heading straight for Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi. However, another water dragon also rose, just in time to block this water dragon.

"Water Release: Water Shark Missile Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Shark Missile Technique!"

It was Kakashi who had copied Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Release Ninjutsu!

Itachi Uchiha's voice was cold, "It's been a long time, Kakashi-san. Can you tell me where the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is?"

Kakashi's expression changed, "Itachi Uchiha? Your target is Naruto?!"

Sasuke, who had just arrived, naturally heard this sentence and saw the enemy who had massacred his clan after many years. For a moment, his mind was filled with hatred. However, he subconsciously thought of something, and his mind became clear for a rare moment.

The target is Naruto?

No, he asked about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The target is the tailed beasts?!

So, if I also become a Jinchuriki, not only can I gain powerful strength, but Itachi Uchiha will also actively seek me out?!

This thought flashed through his mind quickly but was suppressed by hatred. Sasuke drew his short sword and charged forward directly, his face contorted.

"Ah!!! Itachi Uchiha! Go to hell!"

However, as soon as the roar left his mouth, he suddenly felt a trance, and the world spun around.

He immediately understood that he had instantly fallen into Itachi Uchiha's Genjutsu, and it wasn't even a high-level Genjutsu. Just as Natsuki had said, his spirit was unstable, and he couldn't even defend against a small Genjutsu!

"Calm down! Calm down! Keep a clear head! Yes, just like that!"

Sasuke took a deep breath and stabbed his hand with his short sword. The pain stimulated him to wake up.

Then he found that the others were somehow standing on the water facing each other. Obviously, while he was under Genjutsu, a fierce battle had broken out between the two sides, and even the river surface had become turbulent.

Moreover, Kakashi's condition was also not right. He was half-kneeling on the water, looking very pained.

"Asuma, Kurenai, close your eyes and don't look at him! His Genjutsu is very powerful!" Kakashi gasped for air. Just now, he had been tortured for three days and three nights in Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi world, which was incredibly painful.

"Kakashi, are you alright?" Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi quickly closed their eyes but were still worried about Kakashi's condition.

(Kakashi expressed: I'm not tired at all, I can still endure for three days and three nights...)

"Of course I'm not alright! Just don't open your eyes!"

Kakashi gritted his teeth. At this moment, he glanced at the awakened Sasuke, "Sasuke, calm down, be careful of his Genjutsu!"

Sasuke slowly nodded, not even daring to look into Itachi Uchiha's eyes, because he knew that he would definitely fall into the trap again like that. Then, let alone revenge, he wouldn't even have a chance to draw his sword and charge forward.

He was full of hatred, but he wasn't an idiot!

But, without opening his eyes or looking at the opponent's gaze, how could he fight?

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a figure flashed in front of everyone, "Kakashi-senpai, Sasuke, are you alright?"

Kakashi was overjoyed, "Natsuki? Why are you here?"

Sasuke also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was because he knew Natsuki's strength and trusted Natsuki's strength, which was why he felt at ease when Natsuki appeared.
