Narration system starting from Konoha

They could only watch with envy and jealousy, but there was nothing they could do. All they could do was painstakingly extract energy from their cells and synthesize it, then store it in the incision on their forehead.

"Dong dong."

Kong was fully conscious. He glanced through the system space and saw that it was Sasuke. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasuke opened the door and was somewhat stunned to see Uchiha Sora inside.

How did you get here?

Sasuke was embarrassed; he had come out specifically to avoid seeing Uchiha Sora.

Sora said irritably, "It's all because of you. You ran away from home after just a little setback. I was afraid you'd die out there, so I asked Kakashi-sensei for leave to come out."

[Sasuke is such a worry, always acting like the older brother. Uchiha Sora feels like he should be the older brother, and that their parents must have made a mistake and treated Sasuke as the older brother.]

"Come in. What do you mean by coming here? Did you think Itachi would come? Do you want to take revenge on him?" Kong said.

Sasuke remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Kongdao said, "You'd better hope he doesn't come, otherwise the three of us might all die here."

"Hmph, cowards should go back to Konoha as soon as possible. You're just getting in the way here," Sasuke said.

Although Sasuke said some harsh things, he actually hoped that Sora would leave as soon as possible, as he wasn't very confident that he could kill Itachi.

"Hmph, what a stubborn guy. I'll stay here and collect your corpse. With my smoke bombs, I might be able to buy you a few more minutes."

"Otherwise, if you let someone finish you off in a few punches and kicks, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it and will have a mental breakdown," Kongdao said.

Sasuke snorted coldly, turned his head away, and remained silent.

"That's all the stubbornness you have left. As your brother, I won't stoop to your level."

Inside the room, the three sat cross-legged. Sora and Naruto were cultivating, while Sasuke seemed lost in thought.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Smell

Two figures walked slowly down the quiet corridor.

Uchiha Itachi casually surveyed his surroundings and immediately spotted the smoke bombs hidden in various corners.

The three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated, and after exchanging a glance with Kisame, who was essentially a tool for Hoshigaki, a shadow clone continued forward with Kisame, saying:

"There are hidden smoke bombs. Don't get ambushed. Our intelligence may have been leaked."

Kisame, however, remained oblivious and continued walking towards Naruto's room with his shadow clone.

Itachi casually cleared the smoke bomb from the corner, leaned against the corner of the corridor, and watched the backs of Kisame and his shadow clone.

Itachi Uchiha didn't take Kong's strength seriously, but he didn't want to test the power of the poison gas bomb.

The narration already revealed the near-unbeatable nature of poison gas bombs.

The rapid onset of the illness means that even with an antidote, the few minutes between taking it and it taking effect are enough to make a fool of oneself.

Itachi Uchiha could kill people ruthlessly, but he didn't want to experience such a humiliating and shameful scene.

His persona in Akatsuki has always been that of a wise and aloof individual. If word gets out that he soiled his pants, Itachi feels he would lose face in Akatsuki and would rather have Kisame take the fall for him.

"Dong dong."

The sudden knocking made all three people in the room look towards the peephole.

Sasuke's usually indifferent face began to contort.

Sora stopped Naruto from opening the door and shouted, "Is that Jiraiya-senpai? You're done so quickly."

After saying that, he got up to open the door, with a poison gas grenade already between his two fingers.

At the same time, there was another one in the corner of the door. Kong could sense that all the smoke grenades placed outside the door had been cleared.

He took out two Absorption Pills and threw them to Naruto and Sasuke, then suddenly opened the door.

The crimson three-tomoe jade pendant looked into the room.

Uchiha Sora didn't even look up. He stared at the black and red cloud-patterned clothing peeking out from outside the door and exerted force with two fingers.

"Boom."

Black smoke burst out of his hand rapidly, filling the air with a foul stench, and Uchiha Sora formed a hand seal.

The smoke bomb behind the door exploded at the same time, and even though Uchiha Sora was prepared, he was still overwhelmed by the stench that rushed straight into his mind.

I threw up all the snacks I ate this morning.

Black mist spread from the door into the corridor, and Kong stepped out of the room.

He grabbed a handful of smoke grenades and threw them on the ground.

The intense stench nearly made Kisame Hoshigaki roll his eyes. His sensitive shark gills allowed him to inhale the foul odor directly into his lungs, filling his entire body with a dizzying stench.

The footsteps quickly faded into the distance, and Kisame Hoshigaki felt a strong urge to defecate surge forth; he was about to give up.

Uchiha Itachi, standing at the corner of the corridor, frowned. Even someone as resilient as him felt a sense of unease from such a distance.

A slight pang of guilt appeared in Itachi's heart, but he forgot it in the blink of an eye.

Kisame slammed open the door to a room in the corridor, completely ignoring the female passengers inside, and quickly walked to the bathroom, pulled down his pants, and sat down.

The popping sound even carried into the corridor.

Itachi walked over, and with just one glance, all the guests in the room fainted.

He closed the door, then formed hand seals and set up a sealing spell to seal all the gaps in the door.

"Itachi's younger brother isn't very strong, yet he managed to develop something so formidable."

Kisame felt incredibly clever. If he hadn't broken down the door in the hallway, he would have been humiliated today. However, he remembered Uchiha Sora's name and would definitely get his revenge when he found the chance.

"Click click click".

The shark's skin, bound by bandages, twitched incessantly, making strange noises.

Kisame ripped off the bandages, and Samehada opened its mouth wide, making vomiting motions, its body even trembling slightly.

As a weapon with a life of its own, Samehada is more sensitive than Kisame Hoshigaki; the stench of the poison gas made him wish he were dead.

"Does Mr. Itachi have any ideas?"

"Shadow Clone".

Kisame nodded and said, "The inn is small, so we can only use shadow clones. We need to act as soon as possible before Jiraiya returns."

Kisame Hoshigaki sensed the seriousness of the situation. The poison gas bomb was a deadly weapon. He planned to refine some wind-style chakra and learn wind-style ninjutsu, otherwise he would always be countered by that brat Uchiha Sora.

Itachi Uchiha nodded to himself; learning wind-style ninjutsu was the fastest way to avoid poison gas blasts.

The door opened again, and two shadow clones walked out.

The corridor returned to silence, but the lingering stench could not be eliminated in a short time.

Uchiha Sora stood outside the door, while Sasuke rolled his eyes and vomited, seemingly on the verge of fainting.

Naruto stared at Uchiha Sora's figure with a pale face, clutching a handful of smoke bombs in his hand.

Sora had already made a promise with Naruto: if Naruto started moving, it would mean he had fallen under Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu.

Naruto would then throw out smoke bombs to obscure the view.

Smoke bombs and various detonation techniques were placed in front of and around Uchiha Sora.

An arm suddenly reached out from around the corner of the corridor.

Kong quickly closed his eyes and detonated an enhanced pepper spray bomb.

He knew Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu too well; any movement he made could trap him, and he couldn't be careless even if it was just an arm that was extended.

“Mr. Itachi, Uchiha Sora is too vigilant and even difficult to deal with. It seems that we can only finish this quickly. Jiraiya may return at any time.”

"can."

Kisame smiled and stood at the corner, forming hand seals:

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique".

Water droplets appeared on the dry ground and quickly gathered together, forming a huge stream that rushed down the hotel corridor.

He turned around and went back into the room, closing the door behind him.

"boom."

The walls of the corridor, as fragile as tofu, collapsed instantly under the force of the water, which rushed down the corridor and onto the street.

"Boom."

Looking at the shattered walls, Kisame Hoshigaki felt this was the most frustrating battle he had ever experienced. Uchiha Sora's poison gas bombs were a cause for concern, and because of Jiraiya, he couldn't make too much of a commotion.

The main reason was that Itachi Uchiha wasn't taking it seriously. Otherwise, he would have activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and used Amaterasu to burn Sora Uchiha and Sasuke to death in one fell swoop.

However, neither of them could take Naruto away, because Itachi knew that Jiraiya had dispelled the genjutsu he had placed on the beautiful woman, probably wanting to test Naruto's adaptability with the two of them.

"Haha, I didn't expect to be exposed by the narrator."

A puff of smoke flashed by, and Jiraiya appeared in the corridor behind the two shadow clones.

"It smells awful. Uchiha Sora's poison gas bomb is so intense it's almost unbearable. I wonder what Kisame's true form is like. I heard the power of the poison gas bomb can last for an hour."

"Peng Peng".

Two plumes of smoke rose as the two simultaneously dispelled their shadow clones and disappeared.

The door to the room opened, and Sora and a pale-faced Naruto walked out, while Sasuke leaned weakly against the toilet in the bathroom.

Chapter 100 Delaying Time

The dim forest was dotted with light, which looked like strangely shaped butterflies fluttering about.

Two figures, supporting each other, walked slowly forward; it was Uchiha Sora and Sasuke.

Sasuke's pale face showed reluctance, as if he was being dragged forward by Kongqiang.
