Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

A few seconds later, two figures approached from the forest.

Wearing a black uniform with red clouds and a straw hat.

"Itachi, is this your younger brother? His eyes are quite interesting..."

Kisame said as he took down the Executioner's Blade, but Sasuke's eyes were fixed on Yugito.

The Samehada in his hand told him that the woman in front of him was very strong; at the very least, the amount of chakra she possessed made Samehada keep swallowing.

“Uchiha... Itachi.”

Sasuke's voice trembled slightly, his Mangekyou Sharingan had been activated, and he held a kunai in his hand.

Meanwhile, Itachi, standing opposite him, maintained an indifferent gaze, not even glancing at Sasuke.

Clearly, Sasuke already knew that the Mangekyou Sharingan had been activated.

"This attire... it seems you joined some organization after defecting from Konoha?"

Darui then looked at Kisame: "Samehada, the greatsword, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure? But with just that, you have the courage to face Kumogakure?"

Itachi Uchiha looked over: "Our destination is not Kumogakure, but it seems some of you don't want me to leave..."

As he spoke, he looked at Sasuke: "It's been a long time, Sasuke. To my surprise, you've grown very quickly. You didn't rush over recklessly at the first moment; you were more cautious."

"Om..."

His pupil power erupted, and before he could finish speaking, a black flame suddenly appeared.

It was unexpected, but it was clear that Itachi Uchiha had been on guard ever since the Mangekyou Sharingan with its six-pointed star appeared.

Blood trickled from the corner of his eye, but Sasuke Uchiha did not press his advantage. With just one Amaterasu, he realized the gap between them.

"Should we make a move, Itachi?"

Kisame was excited and gave the two little brats, Omoi, a malicious look.

One look from him sent a shiver down the spines of the two recent graduates.

There's no need to complicate things.

Itachi looked at Yugito as he spoke: "Konoha and Kumogakure are not allies, and our target is not Kumogakure... However, if you could hand him over to us..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yukito laughed.

The next second, a massive burst of chakra erupted within him, and two blue tails appeared behind him.

"How arrogant! Uchiha Itachi... It's a pity that Kumogakure has never had the habit of abandoning its comrades!"

Uchiha Itachi maintained his indifferent expression: "The Two-Tails Jinchuriki? Although our goals are different, perhaps we can give it a try."

"boom!"

The blue flames fell, and upon impact, Itachi Uchiha's body transformed into more than a dozen crows that took flight.

After they converged, a bolt of lightning followed.

But with just one strike, Darui's greatsword was blocked by Kisame.

With a twist of his sword Samehada, Sasuke, his entire body crackling with lightning, arrived in an instant, his right hand, flashing with electricity, thrusting out fiercely.

"boom!"

Samehada turned its head to block the attack, and at the same time, Sasuke's Lightning Release Chakra Mode was swallowed and dissipated.

At the same time, black lightning suddenly erupted and surged forward, its power incomparable to Sasuke's.

"boom!"

Even with Samehada blocking the attack, Kisame was still sent flying.

Immediately afterward, Darui quickly formed hand seals, and black lightning suddenly erupted, rushing towards Kisame like a giant dragon.

Black shift, bad!

"boom!"

The dust had settled, but Darui and Sasuke did not continue.

On the other side...

The Three-Scythe Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in Itachi Uchiha's eye sockets, and three kunai sealed off the surroundings. However, the blue flames that swept in only destroyed the shadow clones.

"Shh!"

Figures appeared all around, with blue flames and tails surging out, but none of them hit Uchiha Itachi's main body.

Illusion?

"Illusions have no effect on perfect Jinchuriki!"

The moment the words were spoken, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.

In the crimson space, a wooden figure with its limbs bound on a wooden cross calls out to You Lu, but receives no response.

How can it be? !

"As a perfect Jinchūriki, the power of the Tailed Beast can be perfectly borrowed. In this case, the second type of chakra in the body can be unleashed at any time to break through the genjutsu."

Itachi Uchiha appeared and looked at Yugito: "But this is just a regular genjutsu. Even if the tailed beast's chakra helps you break through the genjutsu, it still takes time. A very short time, a moment? Or maybe a second?"

"In this world, one second is equivalent to seventy-two hours. How long can you endure those seventy-two hours..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword appeared out of thin air.

Raise your hand, thrust straight in, break through the skin and insert it into the chest and heart.

The slow, relentless pain assaulted my brain, and I could feel the cold, sharp blade piercing my heart with crystal clarity, but what followed was not death.

Soon, Yugito, gritting his teeth and covered in cold sweat, was found to be covered in sharp blades.

The next moment, all the long swords disappeared.

"Hand over Uchiha Sasuke to me, and you will be free from this endless suffering, and your Kumogakure will be able to leave in peace..."

Having just caught her breath, Yugito raised her head and coldly looked at Uchiha Itachi in front of her: "Uchiha Sasuke is now a ninja of Kumogakure, and his existence will affect the future rise and fall of Kumogakure!"

"Similarly... you wouldn't dare kill him either. On the night of the Uchiha massacre, you spared only him and the Uchiha Izumi family. I don't believe that trash like you would act out of momentary weakness."

Itachi Uchiha's gaze sharpened slightly: "What are you trying to say?"

Yugito was panting, but his eyes were filled with mockery: "You know about that person's existence, right? Perhaps it's because of that person that you couldn't kill Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Izumi. Otherwise, I really can't think of any reason why you would let them go."

After he finished speaking, Itachi Uchiha fell silent for a moment.

More than four years have passed, but the night of the massacre is still vivid in my memory.

The masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara had no chance of resisting even with his space-time eye technique, and his eyes were easily gouged out.

His own eye technique, Tsukuyomi, also changed hands in an instant.

That kind of eye power, so effortless yet so fast that even the Sharingan couldn't keep up, was like a sharp blade falling at any moment, inspiring fear.

"You've met him? So he's the one who orchestrated the Uchiha clan's infiltration of Kumogakure?"

Yugito didn't answer, but instead looked at Itachi Uchiha with disdain: "So I guessed right, didn't I? On the night you slaughtered the Uchiha clan, you were also trampled underfoot like a dog, weren't you?"

"You cried and begged to live, wagging your tail like a dog to get this life? Is that it?"

"It's been over four years. Perhaps you're like those people in Konoha now, where time has gradually eroded your fear, making you believe that he will never appear again, right?"

"What a pity..."

Yugito didn't pause at all, her gaze towards Uchiha Itachi filled with disdain and mockery.

"That person has appeared again, and it's because of Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Sasuke again. What do you think is the reason you're still alive? By begging for mercy?"

"Your life... was probably deliberately left behind by that person, right? To be used as a stepping stone for Sasuke to climb to a higher level of power."

"After all, a sinner like you, to the surviving Uchiha clan, your body embodies the hatred of the entire Uchiha clan, making you their greatest enemy!"

After he finished speaking, both of them fell silent for a moment.

In Itachi Uchiha's mind, the words spoken by that person four years ago flashed by.

The people of Kumogakure were right; he was the embodiment of all the hatred of the Uchiha clan, including himself.

The three-year-old child ran away, the Uchiha clan crest behind him fluttering in the wind. After a flash of light, he collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

Life vanished, and corpses littered the surroundings.

Do you hate it?

Are they sinners of the Uchiha clan?

Under the control of the eye power, the flow of time gradually accelerated.

"puff!"

A knife pierced his heart.

"Now... there are 71 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds left."

As if proclaiming fear, Yugito endured the pain of having his heart pierced, yet his gaze remained fixed on Uchiha Itachi.

……

In reality.

In just a moment, Darui found Yugito panting and half-crouching on the ground.

He instantly appeared beside him, and the four people still standing surrounded him in a defensive formation.

"what happened to you?"

Yukito opened his eyes, but his eye sockets were bloodshot, and his head was throbbing with pain, as if he could collapse at any moment.

"His...his illusions...are very special. Don't look into his eyes, not even a Jinchūriki."

Darui and the others quickly lowered their heads, and Sasuke was no exception.

Be careful, you only have one life.

"How is this possible? How could Lady Yugito be under a spell?"

"Oh no, oh no, are we going to die? If we're killed like this, I don't even know if the village will be willing to collect our bodies..."

"Shut up!" ×4
