Narration system starting from Konoha

He wrote the new technique formula on a piece of paper and then opened the system shop.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

The system shop had indeed been refreshed, with new items appearing, indicating that his latest research on surgical formulas could be inscribed on the human body.

Before using it, you need to loudly recite without any shame: Let us become one, you in me and me in you, let me feel your pain.

Function: Absorbs the chakra of the person touched and feels their pain.

Price: 1000 Emotion Points (One-time purchase, lifetime use)

Uchiha Sora's lips twitched, even more humiliating than his previous maniacal laughter.

The phrase "you are in me and I am in you" is so imaginative.

The Dog-like System goes to great lengths to harvest the emotional value of its host.

Uchiha Sora did not linger in the Forest of Death; after all, it was a trump card for signing up.

Uchiha Sora saw in this the hope of awakening the Sharingan.

He himself cannot empathize, but he can feel the pain of others. However, it is not his own personal experience. It may not be difficult to open his eyes to this.

If you want to take it a step further, it's not enough to just feel other people's pain.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated when two figures walked slowly through the streets of Konoha.

"jingle."

The crisp sound of bells carried on the wind with their footsteps.

"What a prosperous village! No wonder Konoha has produced so many genius ninjas, and even a powerful ninja like Itachi."

The cruel policies of Kirigakure were like a nightmare. Kisame Hoshigaki was a ninja with dreams, but Kirigakure could not support his dreams. The Akatsuki organization gave Kisame Hoshigaki hope, even though all the plans sounded like a dream.

"Hehe, whether it's a fantasy or reality, this world itself is beyond redemption, filled with hatred between people."

People always need to find a goal to keep living, even if that goal is vague and uncertain.

Kisame Hoshigaki's calm shark face held a hint of mockery, as if he disdained the world, or perhaps he was mocking himself for becoming less and less human.

Killing comrades, killing one's superiors, killing fellow village ninjas—to Kisame Hoshigaki, these were as simple as eating and drinking.

With each Kisame Hoshigaki I kill, I know I'm one step closer to the abyss, gazing at heaven from the depths of hell.

"Oh....."

[Itachi Uchiha's faint sneer: sinners like them who kill their comrades will ultimately meet a terrible end; Itachi Uchiha seemed to have already foreseen their deaths.]

"Mr. Itachi sees things very clearly."

The two figures walked and talked, gradually disappearing into the streets of Konoha.

At the crossroads, Uchiha Sora looked at the figure in the mist in the distance and the familiar straw hat, unsure of what to say.

Itachi is a dangerous guy; it seems he's received news of the Third Hokage's death in battle.

"Mr. Itachi, you seem a bit silent. Are you reminiscing about something?"

Itachi gently shook his head and said, "I'm just a little emotional. We just went through the invasion war between Sunagakure and Otogakure, but the villagers here recovered in just two days."

Konoha's appeasement policy was quite effective, and surprisingly, neither of the two ninja villages managed to breach the village's central area.

The war was essentially resolved on the outskirts of Konoha.

Kisame Hoshigaki agreed with Itachi's words. It's a pity that the Uchiha clan was wiped out, otherwise we could have witnessed the Uchiha clan's prowess in the face of war.

Itachi glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki in a cryptic manner, the meaning of which was unclear, but Kisame sensed a threat in his eyes.

Having been partners for some time, Kisame Hoshigaki understood Itachi's meaning: he should mention the Uchiha clan less often in front of him in the future.

"Swish."

Two figures blocked Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki's path.

"So it's been exposed so early?" Kisame Hoshigaki smiled slightly.

Kisame Hoshigaki is overthinking things. Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi were just trying to probe the two by noticing their suspicious behavior.

Kisame Hoshigaki removed his straw hat, revealing his signature shark-like fins, his face always bearing his trademark mocking expression.

"Mr. Asuma, Ms. Kurenai Yuhi, it's been a long time." Itachi Uchiha also took off his straw hat.

Asuma and Kurenai's throats were a little dry; they felt like they'd had the worst day ever, running into two nasty characters. Luckily, they were in Konoha; they just needed to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Kisame Hoshigaki was somewhat disappointed; he had thought he was facing two formidable opponents, but they turned out to be nothing special.

"Mr. Itachi, let's finish this quickly. Kill those two guys who are waiting for reinforcements first."

Kisame Hoshigaki drew his greatsword Samehada and slashed down. Samehada, wrapped in bandages, was like a giant club, crashing down with tremendous force.

"Clang."

The two Flying Swallows suddenly blocked the attack, and the immense force caused Asuma to stagger back two steps.

Asuma was somewhat surprised; Kisame Hoshigaki possessed immense strength. The spot he had just blocked was precisely the end of the greatsword.

Kurenai's genjutsu was also ineffective against Itachi Uchiha. After only one exchange, both Asuma and Kurenai were at a disadvantage.

"Boom."

A smoke grenade exploded at the location of the two combatants, and Kakashi appeared at the edge of the battlefield at the same time.

Kisame Hoshigaki smiled and said, "So it's Kakashi, the Copy Ninja from Konoha."

Uchiha Itachi, however, looked directly at a figure behind Kakashi, who was none other than Uchiha Sora, whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"Hey, isn't this Itachi? It's been so many years! What brings you to Konoha today? Sasuke has been talking about you like a madman every day."

"That rather ugly young man next to you, isn't that Kisame Hoshigaki, the rogue ninja from Kirigakure? I heard he killed his superior, Suigetsu, and stole the Samehada sword."

Kisame Hoshigaki stared at Sou Uchiha and said, "Kid, the more you know, the sooner you die. It seems your mentor didn't teach you this."

Kisame Hoshigaki was filled with murderous intent. How could a mere brat from Konoha know all his information? At that moment, Kisame even suspected that Itachi Uchiha had leaked his information, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

Chapter Ninety-Two: The Great Weasel

"You're overthinking it. You think that if no one sees something, it won't be leaked? The narrator knows everything."

Sasuke keeps talking about killing Itachi, and the narrator has provided plenty of information about Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki. "Kudo."

[Many secrets and conspiracies may exist in the ninja world, but as the narration expands and time passes, all information and conspiracies will be laid bare for all to see.]

Kisame and Itachi exchanged a glance, already considering temporarily withdrawing from Konoha. The narrator's appearance might disrupt all of Akatsuki's plans.

[It turns out that the organization Itachi belonged to was called Akatsuki. It's amazing that they've gathered such powerful individuals as Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki. Kakashi wondered who else could be affiliated with such a powerful person in an unknown organization. Things seem complicated.]

Itachi Uchiha wanted to leave Konoha as soon as possible; the longer he stayed, the greater the chance of being exposed.

"Uchiha Itachi, don't die too soon. Sasuke has always been thinking about getting revenge on you. Kisame Hoshigaki looks like a short-lived guy. Don't let him drag you down with you."

"Wait for me and Sasuke to come find you."

[Itachi Uchiha was calm and composed, able to control his thoughts well. Although he hadn't been listening to the narrator for long, he understood that the greater the emotional fluctuations, the more thoughts were exposed by the narrator.]

As expected of Itachi Uchiha, he could remain calm even in front of his own younger brother; Kakashi admits he would find it difficult to do the same.

Kisame Hoshigaki sneered at Sora Uchiha and said, "Mr. Itachi, your younger brother really doesn't know his own limitations. Why don't we take care of him now?"

Kisame Hoshigaki was testing the waters, testing whether Itachi Uchiha would really go through with it.

The Akatsuki organization is rife with infighting. Even pairs of people working together are suspicious of each other and may even try to kill one another. They can even be killed by their own comrades if they're not careful.

“A piece of trash who hasn’t even awakened the Sharingan. If you want to kill him, then kill him. It will save you from disgracing the Uchiha clan.”

Itachi Uchiha's expression remained calm, as if he were talking about an ant on the roadside rather than his own younger brother.

Uchiha Sora scoffed. "Has Kisame lost his mind? Trying to kill me in Konoha? Looks like Kisame wants to die here today. Konoha isn't some lowly village like Kirigakure, one of the Five Great Nations."

[Uchiha Sora even heard that the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, had been controlled by someone, and it wasn't until recently that it was discovered that a new Mizukage had been chosen, a middle-aged woman named Mei Terumi.]

Kisame Hoshigaki remained unmoved; he had known this all along, and it was even the powerful figure controlling the Mizukage who had placed him within the Akatsuki organization.

Uchiha Kudo: "Although Itachi was ruthless and died a terrible death, there was one thing he said that made sense."

Those who kill their comrades never meet a good end. Knowing the Fourth Mizukage was being controlled, yet willingly serving him—Kisame Hoshigaki, I despise you.

From Sora's perspective, Kisame Hoshigaki is a guy who only knows how to run away, afraid to face the cruelty of the ninja world, unwilling to change it, yet yearning for a so-called illusory peace, and easily fooled by a few words from some schemers.

"The more you know, the sooner you die. I'm sorry, Mr. Itachi, but I'm going to kill your brother today no matter what."

Just as Kisame Hoshigaki took a step forward, Asuma and Kakashi blocked his path at the same time.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, you are too arrogant to kill a Konoha ninja in front of us."

Uchiha Sora felt lonely again. All he could see were short-sighted people, frogs at the bottom of a well. Kisame Hoshigaki was nothing but a pathetic wretch lost in lies, and yet he had considered Kisame a proper enemy.

[The so-called genius Uchiha Itachi is nothing special. Uchiha Sora roughly deduced everyone's thoughts and plans from just a few words in the narration. How lonely he is.]

[Uchiha Sora is once again troubled by his own intelligence. The once-prosperous Uchiha clan must have been blessed by their ancestors to have produced such a genius as him.]

[Itachi Uchiha's lips twitched, and his usually calm heart was suddenly disturbed. Five words suddenly flashed through his mind: Shameless.]

Despite being adversaries, Kakashi largely agreed with Itachi Uchiha's views.

"Kisame, I'll hold off Kakashi and Asuma. You go deal with Uchiha Sora. This kind of person can't stay in Konoha; he'll be a huge obstacle to the organization's plans," Itachi said.

Uchiha Itachi glanced calmly at Uchiha Sora, and just as he was about to cast a genjutsu, a cloud of smoke engulfed Uchiha Sora.

"Bang! Bang!"

Four or five explosions rang out in succession, and a large plume of smoke rose up, engulfing Uchiha Sora and the surrounding space.

"Uchiha Itachi, put away your little tricks. I can see through your actions with just a little intelligence. You're far from being able to use genjutsu against me."

Uchiha Sora's arrogant voice echoed from within the mist, drifting and constantly changing direction.

Meanwhile, every few seconds, one or two smoke grenades would explode on the ground to maintain the smoke-covered area.

"I'm not a fool like Sasuke who knows he's not strong enough but still tries to fight. This is Konoha, where I'm invincible from the start."

"If you've got the guts, go for it! I'll make you pay with your life, I'll stab you in the balls."
