Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Kakashi was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Your organization... is called Akatsuki, right?"

Kakashi's words surprised both Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Kisame...take Kakashi away! As for the others, let them disappear from this world!" Itachi Uchiha shouted fiercely.

Upon hearing this, Kisame immediately swung Samehada, about to strike the three of them.

Just then, a yellow flash descended from the sky and kicked Kisame away!

"I heard...you're looking for me?"

Naruto, who had already activated Nine-Tails Mode, sized up the two people in front of him.

Is this Uchiha Itachi really our undercover agent? He hasn't sent back a single piece of information in all these years, and when he finally returns to the village, he beats Kakashi-sensei up like this...

"Naruto...don't look him in the eye...his ability is genjutsu," Kakashi quickly warned.

"Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei."

Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha were also sizing up Naruto.

The Fifth Hokage...is he really that young?

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned: "I heard that Konoha has cut military spending and used the money to support people's livelihoods. There are even fewer Konoha ninjas on missions outside."

"Should I say you, the Fifth Hokage, are kind or naive?"

Naruto said calmly, "That's reasonable, because Konoha's military strength is already far superior to that of other countries, so there's no need to waste money on it."

"Far superior to other countries? Where do you get the confidence to say that?"

"My confidence comes from my strength, or rather—my strength!"

These arrogant words immediately piqued Kisame Hoshigaki's interest.

"Mr. Itachi, please don't interfere. Let me test whether this Fifth Hokage is truly worthy of the title."

Itachi Uchiha did not reply, which was taken as tacit agreement.

However, seeing that Kakashi, his two companions, and Might Guy, who arrived after Naruto, were all keeping their distance, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Was the Fifth Hokage really that unpopular? The village ninjas didn't help him at all, and they didn't even bother to put on an act.

Meanwhile, the battle between Naruto and Kisame Hoshigaki has begun.

Kisame Hoshigaki made the first move, quickly forming hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"

Faced with Kisame's probing, Naruto retaliated with a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. If he weren't worried about damaging Konoha, he would have directly used Rasengan.

Seeing his attack easily neutralized by Naruto, and the Rasenshuriken flying towards him with undiminished power, Kisame Hoshigaki was somewhat surprised but not panicked.

He pointed Samehada directly at the Rasenshuriken, and the strangely shaped weapon opened its gaping maw and swallowed the Rasenshuriken whole.

"Ok?"

Is it a weapon that can devour chakra?

"Hehe, I heard you're the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so you must have a lot of chakra, right? Looks like Samehada will have a good meal today." Kisame stroked Samehada, and it was clear that Samehada really liked Naruto's chakra.

Naruto dismissed Kisame's words and instantly activated Sage Mode with the help of the system.

By the time Kisame reacted, Naruto was already in front of him, kicking him more than a hundred meters away.

"Cough cough." Kisame stood up, feeling the pain in his body, and felt quite uncomfortable.

"So the Fifth Hokage was a master of taijutsu? There's a rumor in Kirigakure that Konoha has a very powerful taijutsu called the Eight Gates."

“To deal with you, Sage Mode’s physical strength is enough; there’s no need to open the Eight Gates.” Naruto flashed to Kisame’s side and punched him again.

This time, Kisame was somewhat prepared, managing to block the punch by holding Samehada in front of him.

Samehada, having taken the punch, immediately began to writhe in a bad mood.

Just as Kisame was having a headache, he saw Naruto throw another Rasenshuriken at him.

That's strange. Shouldn't he know that ninjutsu attacks are ineffective?

Kisame was somewhat suspicious, but Samehada couldn't wait any longer and took the initiative to eat the Rasenshuriken.

As expected, as soon as Samehada swallowed the Rasenshuriken, it seemed to have indigestion and even showed signs of turning to stone.

Upon seeing this, Kisame's expression changed, and he quickly helped Samehada dispel the chakra.

"What kind of chakra is this? Even Samehada is having indigestion."

Kisame clicked his tongue. In the past, he was always invincible by absorbing the enemy's chakra, but today he encountered an unexpected problem when facing Naruto.

"Enough, Kisame, don't forget the important matter." Itachi Uchiha stepped in to stop Kisame from continuing the fight.

"Mr. Itachi, are you really going to use that move? Won't it take a lot of energy out of you?"

"The opponent is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, we can't be careless."

Kisame Hoshigaki pursed his lips, but still put Samehada away.

"What? Wasn't I the target? Why is it not okay now?" Naruto said sarcastically, but in his heart he was secretly on guard against Uchiha Itachi.

After Shimura Danzo's death, Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan is now in Naruto's possession.

Danzo Shimura had worked with Orochimaru before his death. Combining his memories with the system's analysis, Naruto now knows that the Sharingan has a fourth evolutionary form—the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Moreover, the abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan are all different. For example, Shisui's "Kotoamatsukami" is indeed the strongest genjutsu. If it weren't for the system's absolute control, he might have really capsized in the gutter.

Then, the tomoe in Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan began to spin, forming a peculiar shape.

Tsukuyomi!

In an instant, Naruto and Itachi Uchiha found themselves in a strange space.

Naruto noticed that he was tied to a cross, with countless Uchiha Itachi holding swords in front of him.

"In the world of Tsukuyomi, space, time, and mass are all under my control."

"Seventy-two hours have passed here, but only a moment has passed outside."

Uchiha Itachi was about to say, "I will continue to use this technique until I stab you for seventy-two hours."

But then he saw Naruto break free from the Tsukuyomi's restraints!

"How is this possible?" This is the first time Tsukuyomi has failed since he obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Tsukuyomi was not lifted, but he was also unable to do anything to Naruto.

"When did you start having the illusion that you've succeeded?"

"You know, even Kotoamatsukami is ineffective against me, let alone Tsukuyomi?"

Chapter 56 After being undercover for so many years, you must have collected a lot of intelligence, right?

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I'm the Fifth Hokage now, and I already know a lot of things, including your infiltration of Akatsuki."

"So, after being undercover for so many years, you must have collected a lot of intelligence, right?"

"You pulled me into Tsukuyomi because the flow of time in the Tsukuyomi world is different from that in the outside world, making it a good place to share information, right?"

Naruto looked at Itachi Uchiha with a smile, but the latter felt a chill.

Is this a warning to myself?

"It seems you truly have the potential to become Hokage," Itachi Uchiha remarked.

"I have indeed gathered a lot of information related to the Akatsuki organization. Almost all of its members are S-rank rogue ninjas, and Orochimaru was once one of us."

"The organization's goal is to collect the Tailed Beasts. They will begin their operation in the next few years, and all Jinchuriki will be targeted at that time."

At this point, Itachi Uchiha paused, seemingly because what he was about to say was too shocking.

"The leader of Akatsuki claimed to be a god, and his strength was indeed formidable, because he possessed... the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan!"

"The Rinnegan?" Naruto suddenly became interested.

He could sense that Itachi Uchiha wasn't lying, and given Itachi's level of genjutsu, it was unlikely that the Akatsuki leader would use genjutsu to forge the Rinnegan. Therefore, this matter was most likely true.

"So, is that Akatsuki leader as strong as the legendary Sage of Six Paths?" Naruto asked.

Itachi Uchiha shook his head: "I've never seen him make a move."

Naruto was not disappointed upon hearing this, but he placed even greater importance on the Akatsuki organization.

"You should have also gathered information about the other members of Akatsuki, right?"

"Of course, I can give it to you through illusion."

"Then let's go."

Naruto appeared completely open and honest, while Itachi Uchiha seemed somewhat hesitant.

"You... trust me that much?"

"Don't flatter yourself." Naruto said with a look of disdain.

"I just don't think your illusions can have any effect on me."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha no longer hesitated and gave Naruto a package of information about the Akatsuki members.

Kisame Hoshigaki, Deidara, Kakuzu, Sasori, Hidan, Konan, Zetsu, Pain, and... Madara Uchiha?

"This Uchiha Madara is most likely not the real person, right?"

"I think so too. After all, if Madara Uchiha were really alive today, he would probably be an old man on his deathbed."

Naruto actually knew more about this than Itachi Uchiha, and he was certain that this person was not Madara Uchiha.

In Kurama's account, Madara Uchiha was extremely arrogant, and it's hard to imagine that such a person would willingly be subservient to others.

Moreover, this person wore a mask, only revealing one Sharingan eye, and appeared to possess space-time ninjutsu...

Isn't that the masked man from the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Naruto's face immediately turned cold, and he closed his eyes in grief and indignation.

It turns out that the enemy who killed his parents was in the Akatsuki organization!

After giving the Akatsuki information, Itachi hesitated before asking, "How is Sasuke?"
