Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

A rare warmth welled up in Itachi's heart, and he said softly,

"Well, thank you then, Kisame."

Kisame grinned, revealing a row of jagged teeth that looked quite eerie.

Itachi nodded to him, then his body transformed into scattered crows and flew towards Konoha.

Shuimen's home,

Chiga and the others were sitting together eating dinner. Naruto kept picking at the food in his bowl, while Minato wore a warm smile and said softly,

"Naruto, eat slowly, I'll get you more when you're done!"

Chika glanced at Minato and thought to herself that this guy was becoming more and more effeminate, and he couldn't hide his "submissive" aura anymore!

Naruto's mouth was full of food, and he mumbled indistinctly.

"Mmm... Dad, your cooking is so delicious, it's almost as good as Ichiraku Ramen!"

Minato was stunned for a moment. He knew Ichiraku Ramen and it did taste good, but in Naruto's mind, it was actually better than the food he cooked.

He was very confident in his cooking skills. Previously, he was too busy with work as Hokage, so Kushina cooked the meals at home.

Kakashi said softly from the side.

“Teacher, Naruto didn’t eat anything good when he was a child. The merchants wouldn’t sell him fresh food. Only the owner of Ichiraku Ramen didn’t care about his background and often took care of him!”

"So that's how it is..."

Minato also recalled the scenes he had seen of Naruto when he was a child.

The ramen shop owner appears frequently in the photos, and every time he does, he has a kind expression, which is a stark contrast to the others.

Thinking of this, Minato's slight jealousy vanished instantly, leaving only gratitude for the ramen shop owner's kindness.

He patted Naruto's head and said...

"Naruto, how about Dad takes you to Ichiraku Ramen tomorrow?"

"What? Really? That's great! I still have lots of ramen coupons. Senpai Chika and Kakashi-sensei, do you want to come along?"

Kakashi waved his hand, deciding it was best not to disturb the father and son.

Chika put down her chopsticks and said,

"I won't go, but it wouldn't be good for just the two of you to go. Let's wait a bit longer."

Minato and Naruto exchanged a glance, neither of them understanding what Chiga meant.

Chiga smiled and glanced at the photo hanging on the wall. It was a picture of Minato and Kushina together, the two of them snuggling together and smiling brightly.

Minato was still somewhat unwilling to give up, and just as he was about to ask a question, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Naruto immediately raised his hand and shouted.

"I'll open the door!"

When he lived alone, very few people would come to visit him, especially at dinner time, when people were having dinner with their families.

So Naruto was unusually excited. He ran out and flung open the door.

Upon seeing who it was, Naruto was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

"Sasuke!? What are you doing here? Come in quickly!"

Sasuke, however, showed no intention of going in. He simply asked a question.

"Chiga... is senpai here?"

Naruto's expression froze; he had thought Sasuke had come to see him, but he still nodded and said,

"Senior Chiga is inside. What do you need him for?"

Sasuke nodded and muttered to himself,

"It's good that he's here..."

A determined look appeared in his eyes as he walked straight into the house, ignoring Naruto.

Naruto quickly turned around and followed, whispering to Sasuke, "qδ"

"You still dare to come looking for Senior Qianhe? Aren't you afraid he'll beat you up again?"

Sasuke paused, glared at Naruto, and cursed.

"idiot!"

"What?! I kindly reminded you, and you call me an idiot?!"

Sasuke suppressed the urge to slap Naruto and followed the scent to the restaurant.

Kakashi was startled to see Sasuke, wondering why Sasuke was here. He had no connection with Minato-sensei!

Minato stood up abruptly, and said with a smile,

"You must be Sasuke? Naruto mentioned you to me, saying you're his best friend."

Naruto panicked as soon as he heard this, and he shouted,

"Dad, what are you saying?! I never said anything like that!"

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, a subtle smile playing on his lips. Only Chiga noticed it, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "..."

"Why don't you two just get married right here!"

Minato looked at Naruto and said, feigning surprise,

"So this is what you said? You said you absolutely had to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, and now that he's back, why are you denying it? Are you just embarrassed?"

Naruto's face turned bright red, and you could even see steam rising from his head.

Sasuke was deeply moved once again. He pinched his thigh to calm himself down.

Then, staring at Qianhe, he knelt down with a thud amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd and shouted,

"Senior Chiga! Please take me as your disciple!"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow. He was also Sasuke's teacher, so he felt like he was being NTR'd in front of everyone.

Naruto looked stunned, while Minato looked at Chika with a smile.

Chiga slowly rose from her chair, walked to Sasuke, and asked calmly,

"Give me a reason."

Sasuke activated his Sharingan and spoke, word by word.

"For power!"

"What do you need power for? Do you still want to seek revenge on Itachi?"

"No! I just want to become stronger! I want Itachi to know that I no longer need his protection! I want to bring him back!"

Naruto blinked to himself, thinking to himself, "I know this stuff all too well!"

Chiga looked into Sasuke's eyes and shook his head.

Sasuke's eyes immediately dimmed, thinking that Chiga had rejected him.

He got up from the ground and said in a low voice,

"excuse me."

After saying that, Sasuke was about to turn and leave when Chiga suddenly spoke up.

"He's back."

Chapter 321 Itachi

Sasuke's pupils contracted, and he said in a trembling voice,

"Who are you saying has returned? Is it Itachi?"

Qianhe didn't say anything, and the next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Inside the Uchiha clan cemetery,

Itachi stood silently before the two tombstones until a gust of cold wind blew by. Itachi tightened his robe and turned to leave.

But when he turned around, he was stunned, because he saw a figure with long, snow-white hair standing not far away.

To be honest, seeing such a scene in a cemetery is really creepy, but Itachi didn't panic. He immediately activated his Sharingan, stared at the eerie figure, and said in a deep voice,

"who?"

The figure slowly raised its head, its eyes gleaming crimson in the night. Itachi's expression froze instantly, and he exclaimed in shock.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan!?"

"Heh, Itachi, why are you so surprised?"

Swish!

The figure appeared in front of Itachi in an instant; it was Chika.

Itachi finally saw Chiga's face clearly. He had been using the Mangekyou Sharingan for quite some time, and his eyesight had deteriorated significantly. In addition, it was nighttime, so he hadn't been able to see Chiga's face clearly before.

Itachi was happy to see Chiga again, but his body instinctively stepped back, putting distance between them.

Itachi was a true rogue ninja. Although his true identity was an undercover agent infiltrating the Akatsuki organization, only the Third Hokage and Danzo knew this.

Now that the Third Hokage and Danzo are both dead, it means that no one can prove Itachi's identity, and he didn't expect the two of them to reveal his secrets before they died.

Itachi looked at Chiga's kaleidoscope eyes and said softly,

"As expected of Senpai Chiga."

As he spoke, Itachi activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and met Chiga's gaze.

However, even with his kaleidoscope activated, he still felt a sense of suppression when facing Chiga's eyes.

Itachi frowned, thinking to himself,

"Senior Chiga's eyes are definitely not ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan! Could it really be the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, just like the rumors say?"

Itachi knew about the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and he wanted Sasuke to take his eyes after his death so that his younger brother would no longer be in danger of going blind.
