Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Battles between genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan level are essentially a contest of ocular power.

Whoever has the stronger eye power will win.

If both Fugaku and Itachi were at their peak, it would be hard to say who would win. However, Itachi's strength is now far inferior to what it used to be. If he were to compete with Fugaku, who was at his peak, in terms of eye power, he would only be defeated.

After some time, the illusion space shattered, and Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha returned to reality together.

As the defeated one, Itachi Uchiha staggered back a few steps, covering his eyes with his left hand, bloody tears flowing from his eyes, and he was somewhat dazed.

Fugaku Uchiha had no reason to give up such a good opportunity. He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to cross a distance of more than ten meters and arrived in front of Itachi Uchiha in an instant, delivering a powerful punch to Itachi's abdomen.

Accompanied by a sharp pain in his abdomen, Itachi Uchiha instantly regained consciousness, but the intense pain prevented him from taking timely action.

Immediately following, another powerful uppercut sent Uchiha Itachi tumbling into the air, his dazed gaze fixed on the sky.

Seize the opportunity and unleash an aerial combo.

Continuous abdominal strikes, followed by Leaf Whirlwind, then Body Flicker Technique + Uppercut.

After completing one set of attacks, finish with a sealing spell.

Looking at Itachi Uchiha, who was pinned to the ground by his single hand, Fugaku Uchiha asked, "Do you know who I am now?"

Different Mangekyou Sharingan have different ocular powers.

Itachi Uchiha had witnessed Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan power before, so he could recognize the same power when he saw it again.

As Itachi gradually regained consciousness, he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his eyes filled with confusion: "Ah~ I understand~"

"Father."

When he uttered those two long-unheard words, the bewilderment in Itachi's eyes deepened.

If his memory is intact, his father should already be...

But the answer his eye power gave him was that the person in front of him was his father—Uchiha Fugaku.

After thinking carefully for a while, some guesses surfaced in Itachi Uchiha's mind, such as Izanagi, or that his memories had been altered, or perhaps some other situation...

But speculation is just speculation and shouldn't be taken seriously.

'This needs to be investigated, and...'

Fugaku Uchiha's gaze fell upon the familiar face so close to his, a complex emotion flashing across his face.

Verify the identity of the person in front of you as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly appeared beside the two, his bandaged Samehada sweeping across them.

Fugaku Uchiha, who was half-crouching, vanished from his spot in an instant and reappeared more than ten meters away the next second, his Mangekyou Sharingan glaring at Kisame Hoshigaki.

Unaware that Fugaku Uchiha possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, Kisame Hoshigaki was instantly caught in the genjutsu and trapped within it.

but……

Samehada is a living creature, which means it can help Kisame Hoshigaki break genjutsu. Of course, this refers to normal genjutsu; Samehada cannot break some extremely outrageous genjutsu.

Fortunately, Fugaku Uchiha had not used any outrageous genjutsu before; it was just an enhanced version of ordinary genjutsu using the Mangekyou Sharingan, which was still within the range that Samehada could break.

Therefore, a second or two later, the conscious Kisame Hoshigaki rushed towards Fugaku Uchiha with his eyes closed.

Before he could run a few steps, he heard Itachi Uchiha's voice: "Kisame, stop."

Upon hearing this, Kisame Hoshigaki obediently stopped charging without even asking why, since he trusted Itachi Uchiha quite a bit.

He returned to Itachi's side, looked down at the disheveled young man lying on the ground, and grinned, "Mr. Itachi, it's rare to see you in such a sorry state."

Itachi Uchiha looked away, showing no intention of responding.

Fugaku and Mikoto approached Itachi and Kisame. Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Let's go into the village."

Without releasing Itachi from his seal, Fugaku and Mikoto immediately headed towards Amegakure.

Kisame turned his gaze to Itachi, and after Itachi nodded slightly, he helped Itachi to Amegakure.

………………

There is a room with a special balcony on the top floor of a certain building.

"Hello everyone, you can call me Pain or Nagato."

Nagato stood on the balcony, looking at everyone inside, and introduced herself in this way.

Upon hearing the name "Pain" and seeing the leader's signature Rinnegan, he immediately understood the man's identity.

"I have gathered you here today to tell you something: starting today... Akatsuki will be merged into an unnamed organization."

"He is the leader of the unnamed organization—Fang Rui, you can call him... Boss Fang."

"Do you have any objections?"

"???"

Deidara and the others looked puzzled, not only by what Nagato had announced, but also by the unnamed organization.

Who on earth would name their organization "Unnamed"? It's utterly outrageous.

"As long as you don't interfere with my making money, I have no objection." Kakuzu's request was very simple.

“I have no objection if it doesn’t interfere with my pursuit of art,” Deidara said.

"Same as above," Scorpion replied succinctly.

"If you don't interfere with my belief in the evil god, I have no objection." Hidan's request was equally simple.

"Itachi-san, what are your thoughts?" Kisame Hoshigaki didn't reveal his decision but instead looked at Itachi Uchiha.

Chapter 258 Holding an Event

An unknown organization capable of subduing Akatsuki, whose members and objectives are entirely unknown.

and……

The Akatsuki organization's goal is world peace. Although the methods they use to achieve peace are somewhat outrageous, it doesn't change the fact that they want to achieve world peace.

So……

An unknown organization capable of subduing Akatsuki must be extremely powerful, and their organizational goals should be similar, or even identical.

Otherwise, based on his understanding of Payne, Payne would never have joined.

Yet another organization attempting to achieve "world peace" through some means!

Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes slightly, his mind wandering.

Joining a new organization is easy, but gathering information about its members is not so easy. And now... there's an opportunity to easily gather intelligence, though it's somewhat dangerous...

"I think……"

Having already made his decision, Uchiha Itachi stared at the seemingly ordinary Fang Rui and said in a calm, even tone, "Let me see your strength!"

As a madman who slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan!

It's not a problem if he acts a little arrogant or abnormal.

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui's lips curled up slightly, as if he were smiling. Even without using mind-reading, he could still guess Uchiha Itachi's thoughts, which were nothing more than collecting information about an unknown organization and then passing it on to Konoha Village.

What unwavering loyalty! Uchiha Itachi~

The other members of Akatsuki reacted differently to Itachi's words, some with curiosity, some with indifference, and some with great interest...

It would be a lie to say I'm not curious about who the members of the new organization are, but they're not as reckless as Itachi Uchiha, so I can take my time to get to know them!

After all, it's an organization that the leader willingly joined, so its members must be very strong. Challenging it rashly might just get you beaten up...

Seeing Itachi Uchiha's bravery, it's unnecessary to say what everyone was thinking, but on the surface they were quite impressed.

Fugaku and Mikoto, who were standing nearby, felt a wave of dizziness upon hearing their eldest son's words. Mikoto seemed to want to say something to stop him, but Fugaku stopped her.

Mikoto looked at her with a questioning gaze, and Fugaku gently shook his head, but offered no explanation.

His seemingly clever son is actually... a bit reckless, a bit silly, and a bit stupid!

Perhaps there's something wrong with his parenting style... Wait a minute!!!

Thinking about this, Fugaku Uchiha's expression gradually became strange. He thought about it seriously for a while and realized that he probably hadn't really taught Itachi Uchiha much.

After all, Itachi Uchiha was well-behaved and sensible from a young age, more mature than his peers, unlike other children who often caused trouble. Therefore, even if he wanted to discipline him, he had no chance.

Emmm...

The source of the problem has been found.

It was probably because of its free-range upbringing that Itachi Uchiha turned out so badly.

Later, Fugaku Uchiha began to think about how to straighten out his eldest son who had grown up crookedly.

At the same time, Fang Rui agreed to Itachi Uchiha's request: "Of course, how about we set the duel for a week from now?"

After all, Madara Uchiha and the others are raising money. If they are called back now, the money they have saved will definitely not be enough to exchange for certain wishes, so they need to be given more time.

"It's not a duel, it's a friendly exchange." Itachi Uchiha first corrected Fang Rui's statement, then slowly nodded to indicate that he had no objection: "Setting the exchange time for a week later is fine, and the location is Amegakure, right?"

'One week later...'

Upon hearing the time of the exchange meeting, Kakuzu frowned slightly. For him, who was keen on making money, holding meetings every now and then was an obstacle to making money.

"That's right, it will be held in Amegakure. Considering the large number of participants, I've decided to hold a large-scale event... What do you all think?!"

The crowd looked somewhat dazed and didn't quite keep up with the pace.

"Tell me what you're planning to do first..."

Nagato didn't stop Fang Rui, but wanted to hear what Fang Rui was planning to do.

"Hold an event similar to the Chunin Exams, invite other ninja villages to participate, first use battles between genin to build up the atmosphere, and then have battles between Kage-level shinobi..."

"Wait a minute!"

Upon hearing this, Nagato quickly raised his hand to stop Fang Rui from continuing, focusing on the key point in the sentence: "A Kage-level powerhouse?!"

Sasori and Hidan also raised their heads. The two were also interested in strong people. The only problem was that their interests were a bit abnormal. One liked to turn people into puppets, and the other liked to sacrifice people.

"That's right, he's a Kage-level expert."

Ignoring the strange looks from the two, Fang Rui spoke with absolute certainty, as if his event would inevitably attract many powerful figures at the Kage level.
