Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 131 Opponents and Games, Brotherhood Battle
“Mr. Itachi, what a coincidence, we’ve run into your brother again.”

Looking at Team 7 opposite him, Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Since that Wood Release ninja isn't here this time, should we leave them here?"

Uchiha Itachi didn't speak, but stared at Uchiha Sasuke, who also had his Sharingan activated and had three tomoe, with his three-tomoe Sharingan, feeling slightly surprised.

what happened?

How did Sasuke's chakra become so powerful in just half a year?
What happened to him during this time?
"Sasuke, don't be impulsive. There are two S-rank rogue ninjas on the other side."

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake had already removed the headband over his left eye. His three-tomoe Sharingan stared at Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki opposite him, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his face. He said, "I'll buy you some time. You go find Naruto quickly and then leave this place immediately."

"Yes, Sasuke-kun, let's go find Naruto first," Sakura Haruno chimed in, her face pale.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Sasuke seemed not to hear their words at all, and directly raised his hand to condense a blue energy ball the size of a soccer ball, inside which were two smaller energy balls the size of billiard balls.

Upon seeing this scene, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Kakashi Hatake, and Sakura Haruno all changed their expressions.

"Mr. Itachi, your brother wouldn't also master that Dust Release technique, would he?" Kisame Hoshigaki's playful smile vanished instantly. He raised his hand to grip the hilt of Samehada on his back, ready to pounce and absorb Sasuke's chakra before he could complete the technique.

However, Sasuke Uchiha's attack speed was even faster than he had imagined.

The two small energy balls quickly turned blue and white, then collided, turning the soccer ball-sized energy ball into a dazzling white as well.

"Storm Release: Judgment!"

Sasuke Uchiha slapped the energy ball forward, and the energy ball instantly transformed into a giant laser beam, shooting towards Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki.

Because they were in a narrow corridor, and the laser beams were too large, neither Itachi Uchiha nor Kisame Hoshigaki could dodge them with a teleportation technique.

In addition, the laser's speed is extremely fast, so even Itachi Uchiha, who could strike several times per second, couldn't execute a counter-attack.

Even Samehada couldn't absorb the fully formed Storm Release technique.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki did not hesitate to break through the window and escape.

The laser beam shot to the end of the corridor, creating a tremendous bombing sound.

Since his ultimate attack failed to kill the two, Sasuke Uchiha immediately released Storm Release: Judgment and then broke through the window to escape as well.

"Sakura, go with Pakkun to find Naruto, then leave here immediately and go back to find my shadow clone."

Kakashi Hatake left behind this instruction, which followed closely behind.

However, the sound of laser beams bombarding the corridor still caught the attention of the mobile fortress.

"what happened?"

Hyde, who was entertaining Naruto Uzumaki, who had been brought back by Timothy, frowned slightly.

"Lord Hyde, I'll go take a look right now."

Timothy, with long blond hair and wearing silver armor like a knight, immediately spoke respectfully.

"I'll go help too," Naruto Uzumaki quickly said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Naruto," Hyde said with a smile.

After the two left, Hyde's expression turned gloomy.

He took out a photograph from his person; it showed the caravan that the Seventh Squad was escorting this time.

The main character isn't from Class 7, but an old man with a ferret perched on his shoulder.

Staring at the old man, Hyde murmured, "With a ferret by his side, could he be a descendant of that lineage?"

Immediately, Hyde revealed a ferocious smile and said, "Let these two factions touch and we'll know. Timsi, you better not disappoint me!"

"This guy was acting all nice just now, but now his true colors have been revealed. What a treacherous fellow," the White Zetsu clone, who was eavesdropping in the shadows, couldn't help but mutter.

At the same time, he also transmitted the intelligence he had just gathered to Black and White Absolute in real time.

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu found Obito Uchiha immediately. White Zetsu said, "Itachi and Kisame have encountered Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha, and they are currently fighting."

"Isn't their mission to bring back the mobile fortress? How did they run into that good-for-nothing Kakashi?" Obito Uchiha asked in confusion.

White Zetsu explained, "Team 7 was on a mission when the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki unexpectedly encountered an officer from that mobile fortress. The two became friends after a fight, and the officer took the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to visit the mobile fortress. Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha came looking for them and happened to run into them."

"What a coincidence?"

Obito Uchiha was speechless for a moment, then his body very honestly twisted and disappeared, leaving only one sentence behind.

"A battle between brothers? Oh, Moses Roy, I'll go check it out."

……

"Idiot, I told you not to do it, but you insisted. Now you've blown this ship to smithereens!"

"Hey... Brother Scorpion, that's not very fair of you. Those armored men aren't afraid of your poison, and there's also a flying bat woman. If I hadn't intervened in time, she would have gotten away."

"Hmph, my trump card has already sealed the entrance with Magnet Release. Even if I gave her another pair of wings, she still wouldn't be able to escape."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Hidden within the giant ship in the desert, the art duo has already dealt with all the armored men.

Sasori of the Red Sand took out a large scroll stored inside the puppet, collected all the armored man's corpses, and also packed up various high-tech gadgets from the ship. Then, while bickering with Deidara, who was with the bat woman Camilla, they walked out of the steel behemoth.

However, as soon as they returned to the ground, the two were plunged into a deep depression.

Looking at the dozen or so puppets in front of him, their bodies covered in black rods and no longer wearing Akatsuki uniforms but instead dressed in white robes of the Otsutsuki clan, Deidara scratched his head and said, "Brother Sasori, are we being targeted by Toneri-kun?"

"Nonsense, isn't that obvious?"

Sasori of the Red Sand, hidden in the Scarlet Amber, said with a hint of excitement, "This time no one will bother us, and we can finally experience that guy's art."

"Hahaha……"

Deidara laughed loudly, riding his white bird into the sky, and spoke to Izayoi across the void towards the puppet below: "Toneri-kun, let's have an artistic duel!"

Explosions and a puppet army immediately appeared in the desert, stirring up thick dust.

Seeing this from afar, the White Zetsu clone responsible for leading the artistic duo couldn't help but complain, "These two idiots, they've been targeted by Otsutsuki Toneri, and they haven't even summoned the Six Paths of Pain? Aren't they just asking for death?"

Therefore, White Zetsu immediately relayed the situation here to Black and White Zetsu.

Black and White Zetsu quickly coded the information and delivered it to Nagato in the form of a scroll.

Nagato frowned slightly as he looked at the secret message that only he, Konan, Obito Uchiha, and the black and white Zetsu could understand. He thought to himself, "So he did notice after all? It seems that his eyes, or his clones, have been monitoring the Akatsuki all along."

"However, his eyes seem unable to see that energy, otherwise he wouldn't have just gone to hunt scorpions and Deidara."

"What exactly is that energy? Why does it resemble Wood Release chakra?" Nagato recalled that fleeting moment that day. If his body hadn't recovered to its peak and he hadn't had Hashirama cells implanted, which greatly enhanced his senses, he wouldn't have been able to detect the energy fluctuations.

Based on the information relayed back by Hei Bai Jue, the energy that day was likely generated when the mobile fortress was embedded into the mountain.

"Grell's Stone, what exactly is that? Looks like I'll have to take action myself."

Nagato closed the scroll, then used Wood Release and Yin-Yang Release to create a ring, and also created a wooden plaque with a secret inscription, and softly uttered: "Zetsu".

"leader."

A White Zetsu clone immediately appeared.

Nagato handed him the ring and the wooden plaque, then waved his hand, and the White Zetsu clone immediately sank into the ground.

Meanwhile, the wooden clone responsible for monitoring Nagato immediately relayed the situation to Izayoi in real time.

The owners of the Rinnegan and Tenseigan have begun a new round of competition.

For the first time, Izayoi felt the pressure and experienced firsthand that a ninja's battle was a battle of intelligence.

Previously, everything went smoothly because Izayoi was familiar with the plot.

But now, for the first time, Izayoi has lost the advantage of being a time traveler.

Moreover, the enemy has already learned about his Tenseigan and has developed a countermeasure.

Izayoi couldn't guess what Nagato was planning.

That's why, while feeling the pressure, Izayoi's blood also began to boil for the first time.

Is this what it feels like to have an opponent?

Oh Moses Roy!
So, while casually placating Temari and entrusting the task of searching for the enemy to Hinata and Shino Aburame, Izayoi also quietly made her next move.

Nagato has White Zetsu, and he also has Wood Clones.

One is for close-range eavesdropping, and the other is for remote monitoring; each has its own advantages.

……

"Fire Escape: Fire is extinguished!"

The scene shifts back to Team 7, where Sasuke Uchiha runs down the mountainside, his hands forming hand seals, and spews a large, meteor-shaped fireball at Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki who are falling below.

"What an amazing fire jutsu!"

Kisame Hoshigaki was surprised again, and felt an urge to compete with him.

However, considering the other party's identity, Kisame Hoshigaki first consulted Itachi Uchiha beside him, asking, "Itachi-san, shall you do it or shall I?"

"Kisame, hold off Kakashi-senpai for me... Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!" Itachi Uchiha replied, raising his hand to his mouth and spitting out a wisp of flame that transformed into a meteor-shaped fireball that shot into the sky.

With a deafening roar, the two meteorite-shaped fireballs collided, creating a massive wave of fire in the air.

The fire wave had barely formed when it was split in two.

Uchiha Sasuke, wielding the Kusanagi sword, was surrounded by blue and white electric arcs. After slicing through the flames with a single strike, he transformed into a blue and white lightning bolt and shot down.

"Such a fast Body Flicker!" Kisame Hoshigaki exclaimed in amazement once again, finally taking Sasuke Uchiha seriously and no longer regarding him as a brat.

Uchiha Itachi didn't speak, but threw several shuriken at Uchiha Sasuke. Then his body transformed into a dozen crows that scattered, fell to the ground, and reformed into his figure.

Just like Gaara's Sand Body Flicker, this is Itachi Uchiha's Crow Body Flicker.

Kisame Hoshigaki also formed hand seals, spat out a stream of water that enveloped his entire body, and transformed into a shark before landing on the ground.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

With a swing of his sword, Sasuke Uchiha deflected the shuriken, then formed a hand seal with one hand, and a cloud of white mist appeared on his right side with a loud bang.

After the white mist dissipated, a shadow clone vanished in an instant.

Before Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha could even guess where Sasuke Uchiha's shadow clones were and what they were up to.

Sasuke Uchiha had already landed, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand transformed into a beam of light that shot out and instantly pierced through Itachi Uchiha's body.

But the next second, Itachi Uchiha's body turned into a flock of crows and scattered.

Crow Substitute!
"Three-tomoe Sharingan, and this level of Fire Release and Lightning Release, as well as Water Release nature and form transformation, it's like he's a completely different person, such terrifying progress!" Kisame Hoshigaki still couldn't believe that this was the same genin who was instantly defeated by Itachi Uchiha half a year ago.

However, the strength that Uchiha Sasuke displayed also made him curious about this battle between brothers.

So Kisame Hoshigaki put away Samehada and smiled at Kakashi Hatake, who was not far away, saying, "Why don't we just watch from the sidelines and not disturb their brotherly reunion?"

"Why is your Akatsuki organization here?" Kakashi Hatake asked cautiously, his three-tomoe Sharingan fixed on Kisame Hoshigaki, ready to attack at the first sign of any change in Kisame's chakra.

Although Nagato became the god of ninjas in the new era and was even given the title of savior who protected the ninja world, the reputation of the Akatsuki organization improved considerably.

However, excluding the pillars of the five major powers, they still regard the Akatsuki organization as an enemy.

Especially after learning from Jiraiya that Akatsuki's target was the Tailed Beasts, Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but suspect that Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki were there to capture Naruto Uzumaki.

"Sorry, no comment." Kisame Hoshigaki grinned.

"Is it for Naruto? Your Akatsuki organization's goal is the Tailed Beasts, isn't it?" Kakashi Hatake bluntly exposed.

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at him with surprise and said meaningfully, "It seems that Konoha knows quite a lot. No wonder it is the strongest ninja village."

"But you guessed wrong this time. Our target isn't the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki." Kisame Hoshigaki looked up at Naruto Uzumaki running down from above, and Timothy being carried on his back, and laughed, "Looks like we won't be able to quietly enjoy this battle of brothers."

With his hands swiftly forming hand seals, Kisame Hoshigaki uttered a soft cry: "Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"

With a puff of its mouth, it spewed out an astonishing stream of water toward the ground, which spread rapidly, surging through the mountains like a flood.

Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, who were not far away, were forced to change the battlefield.

Stepping on the water, Sasuke Uchiha seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Holding the Kusanagi sword in one hand, his other arm wriggled and, under Itachi Uchiha's horrified gaze, extended several huge wooden vines, quickly forming a large tree that, like a shadow, attempted to devour Itachi Uchiha.

Looking at the trees in front of him, Itachi Uchiha was shocked, but a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

So that's how it is. Is this the reason why your chakra has become so powerful?

In order to kill me, are you even willing to risk your life by transplanting Hashirama cells or Izayoi cells?

Sasuke, I sensed your will, but... your hatred is not enough.

Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan, with its three tomoe connecting to form a shuriken pattern, showed he was completely serious.
