Chapter 467 Uchiha Itachi Returns to Konoha

Just as Obito Uchiha was about to use genjutsu to control the daimyo of the Land of Frost,

A figure wearing a straw hat and a long black robe stood on the edge of Konoha Village.

"Take one more step and the defensive barrier will be triggered."

Uchiha Itachi remained expressionless, his pale hand extending from his robe towards the air in front of him.

sizzle.

The sound was like an electric current, accompanied by leaping electric arcs.

Behind him, Kisame Hoshigaki, with a strange expression, said, "Hey, Itachi-san, wasn't it said that it would trigger the barrier? Could something bad be going to happen?"

On his back was a thick, serrated broadsword.

It is the source of most of Kisame's power, a purple weapon forged from his original ninja sword Samehada and infused with a portion of his soul power.

A special type of Zanpakuto with a flowing water system.

【Death God】, a genuine second-tier ability, Kisame's current strength allows him to unleash a Bankai in a short period of time.

It can roughly reach the level of [Second Tier (Commander Level)].

Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi, standing next to him, possesses the [Second Tier (Gold Level)], making him a top-tier player in the entire Samsara Game.

Therefore,

Even when Itachi Uchiha deliberately touched the barrier, Kisame Hoshigaki was not worried at all.

Even with a powerful force like Konoha Village having a Gold-level player in charge, the two were able to escape unscathed.

"Don't worry, the outermost layer is a perception barrier; it only transmits messages and poses no danger."

Itachi Uchiha spoke with certainty.

He and Kisame have now betrayed the Akatsuki organization, wandering and being hunted everywhere. After traveling through the ninja world and the pirate world, he finally chose to return to Konoha.

After all, although Konoha seems impregnable now, it is besieged by several other ninja villages.

The evil god incident back then,

Because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's breach of contract, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure all dispatched elite players leading ninja teams to blockade the Land of Hot Springs in the border areas.

Although Konoha is strong, it has only recently been established in the Land of Hot Springs, and the [Naruto Thanksgiving] has only been held twice, so it doesn't have much support.

If this continues,

It's hard to say whether they won't be dragged down by the other ninja villages.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha decided to return to Konoha and continue to be a sword that protects Konoha.

Kisame Hoshigaki said without any restraint, "However, speaking of which, I really didn't expect the Hokage to have the guts to provoke the Four Great Nations, including the Marine Alliance of the One Piece world. Now that he's fallen to this state, it's all his own fault..."

Before he could finish speaking, he met Itachi Uchiha's icy gaze.

He immediately stopped talking and shrugged helplessly.

Unlike Itachi Uchiha,

He didn't feel much of a sense of belonging, not even to Konoha or Kirigakure, and the same went for Akatsuki. Itachi Uchiha was one of the few men he was willing to follow voluntarily.

It was unexpected that the seemingly cold and ruthless Uchiha Itachi had always cared deeply for Konoha.

It really does resemble me.

Kisame Hoshigaki lowered his head slightly. Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, he would always think of the enemies, comrades, and innocent passersby who had been killed.

The execution seemed as easy as mowing grass.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki is able to clearly remember everyone's expressions, demeanor, and movements in his dreams.

"It has nothing to do with Lord Hiruzen."

"Yeah?"

Kisame Hoshigaki stared blankly at Itachi Uchiha's cold expression.

Then I started thinking.

Even a reckless person like himself would never provoke the four nations and turn against them, especially after they helped Konoha overcome its difficulties.

The Hokage's various actions strongly suggest that he has been possessed.

The game of reincarnation has a wide variety of skills, so it's not surprising that someone could control a Naruto.

As expected of Itachi-san,

To be able to grasp the situation of Konoha Village from thousands of miles away and know the secret of the Hokage being manipulated is truly unfathomable.

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Itachi Uchiha with increasing admiration.

"It has nothing to do with Lord Hiruzen; it's all the fault of the Shikoku and the naval alliance!"

Uchiha Itachi thought to himself, "The attack by the evil god was already a disaster for the ninja world. The four countries actually put up with it and threatened Konoha. Afterwards, they even asked for high reward points. In my eyes, Uchiha Itachi, they already have the intention to die."

Threats failed, yet they dared to send troops to blockade the Land of Hot Springs; utterly shameless.

Now that I've returned to Konoha, I'm determined to kill all these shameless bastards.

Half a minute later,

A figure approached rapidly from afar.

Kisame Hoshigaki reminded him, "Itachi-san is an elite player."

This area is Konoha territory, so the other party has no reason to conceal their presence. In fact, to deter intruders, they are blatantly exposing themselves.

"Don't be impulsive, Kisame."

Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, looked at the Konoha ninja standing not far away with wary expressions, and said, "I am Uchiha Itachi, and I wish to see Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen."

The newcomer was wearing the uniform of the [Shadow Organization] and exuded a strong aura of fire.

He is an elite player who has upgraded his Fire Release skill to [Tier 2].

just,

Itachi Uchiha sized him up with displeasure, his brows furrowed slightly. He said, "It's been a full half minute since the barrier was triggered, and you only just arrived. Has the Anbu's efficiency really dropped this low?"

How can we protect Konoha if we're so lax and negligent?

Back when I was in the Anbu...

"Uchiha Itachi, a wanted criminal?"

Upon hearing Itachi Uchiha introduce himself, the Fire Release ninja frowned, took two steps back, and increased the distance between them.

Itachi Uchiha was an extremely notorious world-class wanted criminal.

Before the Rinne Game existed, he massacred the entire Uchiha clan, defected from Konoha, and then joined the terrorist organization Akatsuki, which wreaked havoc everywhere.

After the Reincarnation Game appeared, he became like a ghost, hiding and lurking, ambushing the Raikage and attacking officers and generals of the Marine Alliance...

The sheer number of egregious acts is countless.

They actually dare to come back, claiming they're looking for the Hokage?

"Yes, it's me."

Uchiha Itachi's expression remained unchanged as he nodded and said, "However, things are not as you imagine. I need to see the Hokage now."

He felt no shame whatsoever.

Everything he did was for Konoha, a sacrifice and dedication. Even his attacks on various players were carried out after receiving a secret letter from the Hokage, all so that he could steal the corrupted monsters and give them to the Hokage's direct line of the [Kage Organization].

"Hold on."

The fire-style ninja furrowed his brows, first calming down the heinous Uchiha Itachi, then quickly contacting his teammates.

……

the other side,

In the Hokage's office, Danzo Shimura, who was standing by the window overlooking Konoha Village, froze slightly upon receiving the news.

The large floor-to-ceiling glass window in his office is a special glass piece that he commissioned craftsmen to create.

Even though it's clear that floor-to-ceiling windows like these could easily reveal the interior of the Hokage's office, increasing the risk of attack,

But Danzo still did it.

Everything is for the sake of being able to stand better in the position of Hokage and appreciate the prosperity of Konoha.

"Uchiha Itachi is back?"
