Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 179: Uchiha Sasuke May Defect

This is really... a big problem.

When Hatake Kakashi saw several rebellious ninjas appearing in the Konoha sweet shop, he became extremely nervous and was always on guard against their actions.

Even though Uchiha Obito, the person he cared about the most, was among the rebel ninjas present, Kakashi Hatake did not dare to act rashly to avoid a conflict in the downtown area of Konoha.

after all…

The strength of these rebel ninjas cannot be underestimated.

Even though Emiya Shihara and Nagato were the most threatening figures in the Chunin Exam, Konoha is not qualified to ignore Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito. In comparison, Uchiha Itachi, who once tipped off the enemy, can be regarded as a friendly party...

certainly…

This ignores one thing.

That is, Uchiha Itachi was not discovered by Uchiha Sasuke.

Kakashi Hatake knew that there was a hidden story behind the demise of the Uchiha clan, but he had no idea where to start, so he really didn't know how to tell Uchiha Sasuke the truth.

fortunately.

When Uchiha Sasuke arrived, several rebellious ninjas from the Konoha sweet shop seemed to notice something and quietly disappeared into the store, avoiding a conflict.

but…

As a ninja of Konoha, Hatake Kakashi couldn't turn a blind eye to these traitorous ninjas, especially Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito, who were the two traitorous ninjas that Konoha paid the most attention to, and they were the ones who triggered the major event of the Chunin Exam...

This big event...

It also caused Konoha to lose the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The most important thing is that the result of the Chunin Exam was not very friendly, which directly led to the resurrection of Emiya Shihara, allowing him to easily destroy the reincarnated Hokage of Konoha. He also frightened all the Konoha ninjas with his momentum alone, leaving a big shadow in the hearts of many Konoha ninjas.

After Kakashi Hatake evaded Uchiha Sasuke with a few words and let the student go on training on his own, he found a few of his friends, sent someone to report to the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, and took others to surround and intercept Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito.

However, before these Konoha jonin found any trace of Orochimaru, they discovered Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame of the Akatsuki organization.

This is not what Hatake Kakashi wants!

Hatake Kakashi didn't want to conflict with Uchiha Itachi at all, and even planned to turn a blind eye to Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame...

but…

Uchiha Itachi had been waiting for Hatake Kakashi for a long time.

"This is really unfortunate..."

Hatake Kakashi sighed and glanced at the two friends he brought with him, Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi. These two friends had no idea about the story behind Uchiha Itachi, and they even seemed eager to try!

"Do not."

"should say…"

"It couldn't be more coincidental."

Uchiha Itachi politely greeted the three Konoha Jonins opposite him: "Mr. Asuma, Ms. Hong... and Mr. Kakashi, long time no see."

"Where is Orochimaru?"

Hatake Kakashi asked first, and was also hinting to Uchiha Itachi what he meant. They just wanted to surround Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito!
"Kakashi..."

However, Sarutobi Asuma didn't care about that. He immediately took out two chakra swords and looked at Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, who were wearing black robes with auspicious clouds, with a serious expression: "Compared to Orochimaru, the people of Akatsuki are more dangerous, right?"

"good."

Xihihong's eyes also became slightly serious.

"..."

Kakashi Hatake felt a little helpless. He looked at Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi who stood up to fight on his side, and then looked at Hoshigaki Kisame who also wanted to fight on the other side.

"Mr. Itachi, we seem to be just in time?"

Hoshigaki Kisame drew out his Samehada sword and grinned at Asuma Sarutobi with great satisfaction, because his and Uchiha Itachi's mission was to create trouble in Konoha to attract attention to Uchiha Obito and let them take away the child Uchiha Sasuke...

"Then do it."

Uchiha Itachi raised his eyes, and the illusion of the Sharingan instantly solved the problem of Konoha's senior ninja Kurenai Yuhi. The three pitch-black magatama began to transform into the shape of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

next moment!
Hoshigaki Kisame attacked at the same time, waving the Samehada sword in his hand and rushing towards Sarutobi Asuma, slashing diagonally at the Konoha Jonin!

The riverside of Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi stood separately.

Hatake Kakashi hesitated and slowly raised his finger, but before he could act, Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan seemed to have already appeared in his eyes!

"Tsukuyomi..."

The world turned black and white at this moment.

This was the second time that Kakashi Hatake fell into Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi illusion. The last time they exchanged information about Uchiha Obito in Tsukuyomi's spiritual world.

This time…

Hatake Kakashi seemed to be mentally prepared.

"Akatsuki..."

"Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito..."

"Konoha's enemies have their eyes on Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi did not hide anything and directly revealed his information: "We received an order from Shihara Emiya to bring Sasuke back to Akatsuki; the purpose of Orochimaru and Obito Uchiha sneaking into Konoha is to prevent Shihara Emiya from getting Sasuke..."

There's nothing we can do about it.

Whether Uchiha Sasuke joins Akatsuki or is taken away by Orochimaru, it will be extremely dangerous for Uchiha Sasuke. He can only place his hopes on Konoha.

hope…

Konoha can protect Sasuke.

only…

Uchiha Itachi couldn't tell the reason.

Because the fact that Uchiha Sasuke might awaken the Rinnegan in the future would definitely attract Konoha's attention, he could not let the Konoha high-level officials know about this.

but…

Kakashi Hatake is a trustworthy person.

After all, Kakashi Hatake does have the strength to fight against Uchiha Obito, and he is also the leading ninja of Uchiha Sasuke, so he can definitely protect his subordinates.

Ok.

In fact, this task is quite difficult.

But Hatake Kakashi did not refuse and immediately promised Uchiha Itachi: "I understand, I will protect Sasuke..."

"but…"

Hatake Kakashi also couldn't help but raise his own request: "Sasuke has been blinded by hatred. Itachi, I already know that there is a hidden story behind the genocide. Now can you tell me the truth about the demise of the Uchiha clan..." At least...

This will prevent Uchiha Sasuke from becoming addicted to hatred.

"There is no need for that."

"Hatred can make Sasuke's Sharingan stronger."

Uchiha Itachi rejected Kakashi Hatake's proposal. He had no intention of letting his brother give up his hatred, nor did he intend to reveal his deeply buried past at this moment.

Or…

Uchiha Itachi never wanted to reveal it.

"Let's go stop Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito first."

When Uchiha Itachi saw that Hatake Kakashi was still trying to ask more questions, he immediately threw him a big thunder: "While you were here entangled with me and Kisame, Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito had already hidden and took the opportunity to take Sasuke away..."

"!!!"

A hint of nervousness immediately appeared on Kakashi Hatake's face.

this moment…

The two of them worked together extremely well.

In this world.

The riverside of Konoha.

The fierce battle between Hoshigaki Kisame and Sarutobi Asuma has just begun!
As usual, Uchiha Itachi stroked his eyes and retreated, as if his Tsukuyomi illusion was once again broken by Hatake Kakashi, and he took a few steps back weakly.

"Kisame, let's retreat."

Uchiha Itachi reminded Hoshigaki Kisame in a deep voice, and without any trace of acting, he showed a trace of pain and said his own problem: "My Tsukuyomi has been cracked..."

"Mr. Itachi!"

Hoshigaki Kisame's face immediately became tense. While swinging his sword to force back Sarutobi Asuma, he turned back to look at Hatake Kakashi and quickly turned around to provide support!

Hoshigaki Kisame looked at the calm and composed Kakashi Hatake opposite him, and then at Uchiha Itachi who looked obviously ill beside him, and couldn't help but frown.

This is a bit tricky...

If he still wanted to entangle them, he would have to fight one against three, and he had to take care of the seriously ill and injured Uchiha Itachi during the battle!

"We can't get through this, right?"

Hoshigaki Kisame whispered a reminder to Uchiha Itachi.

Whether facing Uchiha Obito or Emiya Shihara, the two of them made too little noise to deal with him, and he hadn't even started warming up yet!

"Kakashi also possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

Uchiha Itachi's words made Hoshigaki Kisame give up the idea.

"Kaleidoscope?"

When Hoshigaki Kisame saw a hint of scarlet red revealed by Kakashi Hatake's forehead protector, he didn't dare to look into Kakashi Hatake's eyes again.

This is troublesome!

As a subordinate of Uchiha Obito and a teammate of Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame has a lot of understanding of the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"

After saying that, Hoshigaki Kisame immediately put his hands together and formed seals, then hastily cast a powerful water jutsu, quickly dragging Uchiha Itachi away!
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

Hatake Kakashi raised his hands, formed seals, and cast an earth escape ninjutsu to block the oncoming waves. He watched Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame retreat with a serious expression!
"We chase..."

Asuma Sarutobi held two chakra swords and planned to catch up quickly. He had just started fighting with Hoshigaki Kisame, and it couldn't even be considered a warm-up!
"Asuma, stop chasing me!"

Hatake Kakashi immediately stopped Sarutobi Asuma, turned his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "They have already escaped. It is more important to track down the whereabouts of the enemy who sneaked into Konoha first!"

Time is of the essence…

I must return to Uchiha Sasuke immediately!

Kakashi Hatake vaguely regretted sending Uchiha Sasuke away for training. Perhaps he should have kept Uchiha Sasuke by his side. Even if Uchiha Sasuke was overwhelmed by the appearance of Uchiha Itachi, he would not fall into Orochimaru's hands!
just now…

Uchiha Itachi was already passing the information to him very quickly, and Hatake Kakashi just hoped that he could still make it in time if he rushed back to Konoha!
but…

He was late after all!

Even though it was only a short delay, Hatake Kakashi quickly rushed to the training ground where he had assigned Uchiha Sasuke to practice, and saw only an empty space...

as well as…

Some minor signs of fighting.

"There aren't many signs of fighting..."

Hatake Kakashi lowered his head to check the traces in the training ground, and his heart sank: "Sasuke did not put up a fierce resistance..."

Although there is a huge gap in power between Uchiha Sasuke and Orochimaru, and Uchiha Obito is right beside him, Uchiha Sasuke's fighting style often leaves a lot of traces of battle, even just a few Fire Release Ninjutsu will leave a lot of traces.

but…

There are too few traces here.

This means the worst possible scenario could happen.

Uchiha Sasuke, who has always longed to gain greater power for revenge, was most likely deceived and abducted by Orochimaru and chose to follow Orochimaru and defect.

this kind of thing...

It is very likely to happen.

Especially when Uzumaki Naruto was officially accepted as a disciple by Jiraiya, his strength became stronger and stronger, and he was increasingly valued, which made Uchiha Sasuke feel more and more unbalanced.

Uzumaki Naruto, who used to be the last one in the group, has truly become a disciple of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, and is even held high hopes by Jiraiya. However, Sasuke has been stuck in the same place, with no one to guide his training anymore. Due to his busy work as a team leader, he has not even been able to take on any commissioned missions that could help him improve his combat power.

For Uchiha Sasuke, who constantly desires power and is proud by nature, this drastic change in environment makes it too easy for him to be led astray by others.

Hatake Kakashi had already noticed the inner changes of his student, and wanted to find time to have a good chat with this student, but his actions seemed to be too late, just like his teacher...

"Report to the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke is missing..."

Hatake Kakashi took a deep breath. He had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, so he hid his guess and told his friend in a deep voice, "Sasuke is very likely to have been abducted by Orochimaru and Obito. I'll track down Sasuke's whereabouts. Asuma, you go and ask for support!"

"..."

Asuma Sarutobi patted Hatake Kakashi on the shoulder.

As a jonin, what Kakashi Hatake can easily see naturally cannot be hidden from Asuma Sarutobi's eyes. However, due to their many years of friendship, Asuma Sarutobi would not choose to expose Kakashi Hatake's thoughts.

"Be careful…"

"If it's impossible..."

"Anyway, Kakashi, I'll catch up as soon as I can after reporting the news."
