Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Moreover, both the teacher and the others had been injured by the explosive tags.

Itachi looked at the burns on his shoulder, and the guy that Inuzuka Toshi was carrying on his back was still unconscious.

Lowering its head, the weasel continued on its way.

A moment later, a voice sounded from behind.

"Click".

Gastrodia elata?

Itachi turned around and landed beside the fallen Tenma, frowning as he asked, "Did the explosive tag hurt your leg?"

Just as Itachi was about to reach out, Tenma slapped his hand away: "Get out of here! I'll handle this myself!"

Itachi shook his head slightly: "You have no choice. Your only option is to stay and die."

Shinko and Inuzuka Toshi, who had also turned around, landed beside the two. Inuzuka Toshi, a Jonin, lifted Tenma's trouser leg, revealing a charred burn wound on the side of his calf.

Inuzuka Toshiya shook his head slightly: "If you keep pushing yourself, your leg will have to be amputated when you get back."

Then Inuzuka Toshiro looked at Itachi and said, "You will carry him for the rest of the journey!"

The weasel nodded, then looked at a crow flying across the sky.

Has he already reverse-sentenced, Shisui?! Find the Fourth Hokage quickly!

……

Reluctantly lying on Itachi's back, Tenma whispered, "This time... I'll pay you back later!"

Itachi continued on his way with a blank expression: "You said the same thing about the ninja cat's whiskers last time."

Gastrodia elata remained silent.

After a long while, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded behind them.

Itachi Uchiha's gaze sharpened: They've arrived? Has my teacher... already sacrificed himself?

"Tooth-to-teeth!!"

The whirlwind-like spin blocked the lightning behind them, and Inuzuka Toshi's voice came over.

"Kokoro! Remember my words!"

Is Inuzuka Toshi-sensei also going to sacrifice himself?

Itachi glanced behind him, then he and Koko each carried one on their backs and fled at top speed.

……

"Huhuhu..."

The high-speed rotation of Fang-To-Fang stopped the Cloud Village ninja, but the already injured Rimaru collapsed to the ground.

Li looked at his dog, smiled bitterly, and said, "It seems we have to stop here. Can we do it two more times?"

"Wang!"

Rimaru's answer was clear, and Inuzuka Toshiya slowly stood up again, looking at the Cloud Village members opposite him.

……

"Itachi... will we be able to get back alive?"

Glancing at Koko beside him, Itachi nodded firmly: "Don't worry..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi looked at the crows flying in the sky. Why hadn't the special kunai that Shisui had given him a long time ago come to his ninja tool bag?

……

"You little devils, you're fast runners!"

Along with the mocking voices came lightning; the lightning struck, forcing the two carrying their teammates to stop.

Itachi turned around and put Tianma down. Shinko, who was standing next to him, also put down her unconscious teammate and came over to stand next to Itachi.

"Uchiha brat, it's true that you're a genius to be able to awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan at such a young age, but is this attitude a sign that you're not planning to run away? You're too arrogant, aren't you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Samui, in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, instantly appeared behind Itachi, her short blade falling to the ground.

"boom!"

The kunai and the short blade clashed, and both of them experienced a rapid flow of information in their minds.

"Whoosh... Bang!"

In just over ten seconds, the two had exchanged blows dozens of times. Under the dynamic vision of the three-tomoe Sharingan, the opponent's speed was still able to keep up.

Illusion, the technique of Naraku!

Koko, standing to the side, used illusion magic to hit someone, but was quickly rescued by the opponent. Under the combined attack, she was temporarily unable to defend herself.

Meanwhile, two more people attacked Itachi's side.

With two against six opponents, all of whom are Chunin and Jonin, it seems like there's no chance of winning.

The longsword imbued with Lightning Release chakra required utmost caution with every strike. If it weren't for Granny Cat's kunai and the Sharingan's genjutsu, Itachi would have already lost.

Lightning Release, Earth Walk!

The lightning covering the ground paralyzed and immobilized Itachi in an instant, and at that moment, Samui's short blade arrived at lightning speed.

"puff!"

Blood splattered out!

Tenma looked at her chest, then turned to Itachi and said, "I've paid back what I owed you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Samui drew his short blade, coldly shook his head, and said, "What's the point of blocking this blow? You're all going to die anyway!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Samui's short blade was once again covered in lightning.

"Shh!"

"boom!"

Having regained his mobility, Itachi blocked the short blade with a kunai. In his slightly raised eye sockets, the pupils of the three blades darted around rapidly.

Amaterasu! !

Black flames instantly engulfed Samui's entire body, and the burning pain caused him to kneel on the ground.

"Samui!!"

Water Release: Water Chaos!

Water appeared amidst the shouts of his companions, but it could not extinguish the black flames.

Uchiha Itachi slightly raised his head, and in his panic, he met the gaze of the Cloud Village: Tsukuyomi!

In the dark red sky, the Cloud Village ninjas were bound to the trees. Uchiha Itachi slowly raised his hand, and a kunai pierced through instantly.

"puff!"

"Uh……"

A muffled groan rang out, and the Cloud Village ninja suppressed his scream.

Itachi coldly replied, "For the next seventy-two hours, you will be enduring this pain continuously, so just scream it out."

"puff!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife was inserted into his abdomen.

After a long while, screams echoed through the Tsukuyomi space.

……

"boom!"

In the real world, in just a moment, the ninja from Kumogakure who had been hit by the illusion technique fell unconscious to the ground.

Samui, enveloped by the water, remained expressionless as he resisted the burning pain.

The next moment, Itachi looked at the Cloud Village that was besieging Shinji: Amaterasu!

……

Chapter 106: Water Gate, Still Water

Blood slowly dripped from the edge of his eye sockets, and the enormous depletion of his eye power caused Itachi to kneel on one knee.

But the price was worth it; those who had attacked Xinzi were now all engulfed in black flames.

Six Cloud Village ninjas were pursuing them. Tsukuyomi killed one of them instantly, and two Amaterasu attacks hit the remaining five.

At this moment, no matter how much the five people rolled and struggled, or lay flat in the water, it was all in vain.

Samui, engulfed in black flames, no longer resembled its former self. Under the intense heat, the oil evaporated, revealing a ferocious and terrifying Samui staring at the weasel.

A hoarse voice escaped from his still relatively intact throat: "This power, and your eyes just now..."

Itachi stared at her indifferently without replying. A few seconds later, the five Cloud Village members turned to ashes.

At this moment, Itachi, who was using the Mangekyou Sharingan for the first time, collapsed to the ground. If he hadn't been worried about the Cloud Village's last stand, he would have collapsed just now.

Koko pulled Itachi into her arms, wiped away her tears—there was no time for sadness—and immediately carried Itachi on her back. She glanced at Tenma's corpse behind her and quickly left.

……

A moment later, a golden light flashed, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Shisui Uchiha appeared beside Itachi.

"Shh!"

The kunai that Shinko thrust out was blocked by Minato. When Shinko saw who it was, she completely relaxed and burst into tears.

"It's...it's a trap! The entire Cloud Village transport unit is a trap!"

"The teacher is dead... Tianma is dead... Everyone is dead!"

Kokoro, who had been crying, fell silent instantly. Apart from the unconscious Itachi, the three of them turned their gazes toward the forest.

Darui and the Cloud Village had already caught up, but when they saw Minato Namikaze, they immediately raised their hands to stop everyone.

"The Fourth Hokage... the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze? How could you appear here!"
