Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Itachi, who stepped down from his position as the castle lord, is now resurrected as an imposter and works as a member of the Dark Guard... He participates in the Ninja War alongside Shisui, and at the critical moment, he stops Black Zetsu's plot and saves Yu's life!

After the Ninja War ended... Yu found Itachi and proposed to use the Samsara Rebirth Technique to revive him.

Itachi refused: "No, it's not the right time yet. If I'm resurrected, I'll lose these Mangekyou Sharingan eyes from the Edo Tensei. I need to protect the ninja kingdom and Sasuke. I can't lose these eyes yet. Let's wait until the world is at peace, Sasuke has grown up, and I have no more worries before you resurrect me..."

However, Itachi suffered the biggest miscalculation of his life. Due to the hidden dangers of forcing growth and the appearance of Kabuto Yakushi, Sasuke did not follow the path Itachi had expected...

After much deliberation, Itachi finally appeared before Sasuke and showed him the four flavors of his life: sour, bitter, spicy, and salty, but not sweet!

Outside, Yu gazed at the screen with complicated emotions: "Sasuke... do you know that Itachi, who loves sweets, suffered his whole life?"

In Ningguta.

"So...that's how it is!" Sasuke collapsed to the ground, clutching his eyes in anguish. He finally understood that the sorrow reflected in those eyes did not come from his father, whom he had never met, but from his brother, whom he loved, betrayed, hated, and even killed—Uchiha Itachi!

Chapter 612 The Wise Man's Heavenly Strategy: Repentance and Return from the Wrong Path!

In the new base.

Thud! Kabuto slammed his fist into the ground, his eyes filled with malice as he said, "Damn it... why did the Ninja Kingdom find out about Sasuke's movements so early!"

He originally thought that his true identity was revealed because Naruto's discovery on the battlefield finally came to light, and that it had nothing to do with Sasuke!

So when Madara Uchiha appeared in front of Sasuke and Sakura, Kabuto Yakushi's hair stood on end!

But at that moment, Kabuto still secretly hoped that Sasuke could escape from Madara's clutches!

Unfortunately, he overestimated Sasuke and underestimated Madara!

When Sasuke was taken away, Kabuto Yakushi's face turned ashen, as if he had eaten fly droppings!

For the next three days, Kabuto was extremely anxious... Naruto or Sasuke was his and Yu's source of confidence in seeking revenge, but now it was clear that Sasuke was no longer a hope!

But... Kabuto's mental fortitude and cunning have reached an appalling level!

Slip!

The Mitarashi Anko he possessed licked her long tongue: "Hmph, Sasuke has been taken back to Yuu-ou Castle, and he might even be subjected to Kotoamatsukami, so we can't count on him. But... Naruto is still outside, right? That carefree Naruto should have plenty of opportunities to strike. Once I succeed, I'll forcibly take him away!"

……

In Ningguta.

Itachi looked down at his younger brother, who was still troubled: "Sasuke, I have told you the whole truth without reservation. The decision of how to proceed from now on is in your hands."

Sasuke looked up at his brother, whose eyes were filled with hope: "Then, what do you want me to do?"

Itachi said, "I will no longer interfere with your thoughts. As long as you are not maliciously interfered with by those with ulterior motives, I hope you will choose your own path in the future, whether it is right or wrong, it is something you need to experience..."

Sasuke asked a very pointed question: "What if... I still intend to seek revenge against Konoha for driving you to the brink of destruction? What would you do, Itachi?"

Itachi clenched his fist slightly, then relaxed it, and smiled, "I've said before, whether it's right or wrong, you have to experience it yourself. However, regarding what you mentioned, you should know that it won't work, right?"

“That’s right, my brother just lacks experience, he’s not a complete idiot. He wouldn’t be so reckless as to do something that’s doomed to fail. The little tricks you pulled in Phantom City, though unnatural, also showed a bit of cleverness. That’s the proof…”

Sasuke's face flushed red, and he pouted, annoyed, "You still say that... you clearly think I'm an idiot!"

Itachi smiled and stepped forward, then knelt down and pressed his forehead against his beloved younger brother's, saying gently, "Sasuke, no matter how you change, in your older brother's eyes, you'll always be a child who never grows up. But no matter what, you must remember that I will always love you deeply!"

Sasuke's eyes flickered as he suddenly recalled the scene at the end of their battle when Itachi, determined to die, secretly bit into the poison hidden in his teeth. But Sasuke, completely unaware of all this, picked up a rock and repeatedly hit Itachi's head until it bled profusely!

"Waaaaah..." Tears of regret streamed down Sasuke's face as he gripped Itachi's shoulders tightly. "Aaaaaah, what have I done? I'm such a... bastard!"

Itachi's body jolted, and tears of bitterness mixed with relief streamed down his face: "It's all in the past... Let's start anew! But... before that, there's one more thing I must do, brother!"

Itachi released Sasuke's shoulder and stood up.

Sasuke asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

Itachi clenched his fist: "Kabuto Yakushi... we can't let him go any longer. Even my brother thinks he's treacherous and dangerous. Only by completely removing this thorn can we have no worries in the future!"

Sasuke stood up, eagerly saying, "I want to go too! I'm the one who got into this mess! How can I let my brother clean up my mess!"

Itachi shook his head and said, "Sasuke... you were just tricked and used by Kabuto Yakushi. He hides in the shadows of the ninja world, using the vast intelligence network he built while working as a spy to look for any opportunity! Even without you... he would still set traps for others and use them to achieve his own goals!"

Sasuke said, "I don't care! That guy even fabricated lies to slander you and Yuki's father just to use me! I can't tolerate him! I must kill that kind of guy with my own hands!"

Whoosh! The relief of the Rinnegan above released a vortex of divine power.

Itachi said, "Sasuke, you are now a criminal. What you did in Phantom Castle is something even your brother can't cover up. So, reflect on your actions here and let your brother take care of you one last time. This is also your brother's last effort to say goodbye to his past!"

Seeing that Itachi had made up his mind, Sasuke didn't press the matter any further: "Then, when will you come back?"

"It won't be long. The Ninja Kingdom is powerful enough that no schemer can shake it. Wait for me, Sasuke..."

Itachi turned around, a captivating smile on his face, and plunged into the whirlpool.

Sasuke watched the disappearing vortex and murmured, "Onii-chan, be careful on your way..."

When Itachi returned, Yu stood up to greet him: "You've worked hard. It seems that Sasuke's problem has been resolved."

Itachi said apologetically, "Master, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Yu smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. People always have to grow up... And thankfully, Sasuke was stopped and saved before he could be truly used. Itachi, this is all thanks to you!"

Itachi said, "I'm ashamed..."

Yu's gaze sharpened: "Yakushi Kabuto absolutely cannot be allowed to live any longer! This time, I will completely shatter both his physical body and soul, to the point that even the Samsara Rebirth and Impure World Reincarnation cannot restore him!"

Itachi said, "Master... Kabuto Yakushi himself is not strong, but he is extremely good at using external forces and has a very clear understanding of people's hearts and the situation! So he has never lacked pawns and has been scheming and plotting until now."

"If we want to deal with him, we might as well try to predict his next move..."

"Oh?" Yu listened attentively.

“He now knows that Sasuke has been saved and is no longer easy to use. He also knows that although the world is vast, you are the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki with the power of the Rinnegan and the powerful force of the Shinobi Kingdom. With his true identity exposed, no matter how deep or far he hides, he is still at risk of being found!”

Itachi's gaze deepened: "If I were Kabuto Yakushi... I would definitely take a risky step next! I would choose to strike where we easily overlook it!"

Yu narrowed his eyes: "You mean... Naruto!"

Itachi nodded and said, "Yes, Kabuto Yakushi is very likely to target Naruto. Master, I have an idea. If things go smoothly, we might be able to make Kabuto lose more than he gains!"

Chapter 613 The Wise Man's Heavenly Strategy, the Nemesis of the Enemy!

In the Ghost City, at dusk, Naruto, the city lord, finished his busy work and made his routine patrol of the streets.

To avoid disturbing the normal work of the people, Naruto would use the Transformation Technique to change his appearance beforehand.

Naruto's transformation technique is not as proficient as it is in the original work. It seems that only Jonin-level ninjas can see through it. So when he walks, passing ninjas will notice and look at him. Whenever this happens, Naruto will make a shushing gesture, and the ninjas will nod knowingly and pretend they didn't see him.

"Hmm, it seems there are no problems. Let's call it a day..." Naruto stretched and prepared to head home.

thump!

Suddenly... at the intersection not far away, an old woman fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Naruto quickly ran over and helped the old woman up, asking, "Grandma, are you alright?"

The old woman said, "I'm alright, thank you, young man..."

"Young man?" Naruto was taken aback, looking down at the small bulge on his chest. "Huh? That's strange. I clearly look like Yuki! How did this old woman know I was a young man?"

呲!

At that moment, a cold glint flashed in the depths of the old woman's cloudy eyes. Her fingernails grew long, and taking advantage of Naruto's lack of vigilance, she suddenly stabbed him in the neck!

"!" A sudden sharp pain startled Naruto. He retreated, and *thud!* The transformation technique dissipated, revealing Naruto's true form. He shouted, "Hey, who exactly are you...?"

click!

Suddenly, intense pain and numbness swept through his body, and Naruto's features contorted: "Damn it... poison, huh? I've been... poisoned here..."

thump!

Naruto collapsed to the ground...

"Hmph, even a drop of the venom from the Immortal Serpent of Ryuchi Cave would be enough to knock Naruto unconscious." *Whoosh!* The old woman chuckled sinisterly, her hands forming a hand seal and pressing them to the ground.

—The art of spirit communication!

boom!!

The ground cracked open, revealing a giant snake that swallowed Naruto whole before disappearing into the smoke with a bang.

"That's it, Naruto has retrieved it. This reanimated body is useless now, let's throw it away..."

Kabuto released the control, and the old woman who had been resurrected by Edo Tensei fell to the ground!

Swish!Swish!

Yu and Itachi descended upon the street!

Itachi crouched down to examine the old woman, his brows furrowing: "Just an ordinary person... She must have been killed by Kabuto and used for the Impure World Reincarnation. Her body was also modified. Even a sensory ninja would have a hard time noticing if they weren't careful. Kabuto's will just now must have been attached to this body!"

Yu said coldly, "Itachi, step back."

Whoosh! The weasel complied.

Whoosh! A white vortex was released from Yu's right eye!

—Yumu Tuo Liu!

Time reversed, and Naruto, who had been taken away, returned to the scene, completely bewildered: "Strange, I was clearly poisoned and passed out just now! Huh? Uncle Shadow!"

Naruto wasn't the only one whose time was reversed; the old woman who was resurrected using Edo Tensei was also affected!

"!" Because of the time reversal, Kabuto's consciousness returned to the old woman's body!

*Click!* Before he could even figure out what was happening, the black rod extending from Yu's palm had already pierced into his body!

call out!

Using the reverse search of Sage Mode, the location of Kabuto Yakushi's chakra was quickly pinpointed...

"Oh no!" Kabuto Yakushi suddenly realized and quickly snapped back to reality!

Thump! The old woman... collapsed again!

"They recovered so quickly..." Yu frowned, wanting to turn back time once more!

Itachi said, "Master, this old woman is truly innocent... let her pass away peacefully!"

Yu nodded and said, "Yes, although it was only for a brief moment, I have already locked onto his approximate area, with an error margin of no more than a thousand miles... Now that he has lost that fake Kamui Sharingan, he can't escape even if he grows wings!"
