In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

Even when they finally found him, they discovered he had already entered Konoha's prison.

I never imagined I'd end up hanging out with Yoriichi... I'm truly ashamed.

The Hozuki Mangetsu who stayed in the Land of Water was stronger than Zabuza, but he was unwilling to submit.

"Is this the difference between people?" Fang Zun sneered twice.

Chapter 156 Choice

“Itachi.” Yoriichi opened his pair of crimson Mangekyou Sharingan eyes and stared directly at Uchiha Itachi under the red moon imagery.

“Be my subordinate, and I will know everything,” Yoriichi said.

Uchiha Itachi remained silent.

Although he joined the Akatsuki, his heart did not belong to the Akatsuki. He had a good relationship with Konoha. Under the planning of the Hokage and Danzo, he joined the Akatsuki and became a "rogue ninja," bearing all the sins alone.

But in reality, he loved Konoha more than anyone else, and he loved his younger brother in Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi sighed softly, glanced silently at Fang Zun, and then spoke:

"OK..."

Ignoring Fang Zun's gaze, Uchiha Itachi looked directly at Yoriichi.

Yoriichi smiled immediately, "I know your heart isn't with me. I'm afraid you came here for the same reason as you came to Akatsuki."

Yoriichi did not reveal Itachi Uchiha's identity as a Konoha spy. If someone like Itachi Uchiha wanted to join the Hidden Shadows Village, it could only mean one thing.

Compared to Akatsuki, the Hidden Shadows Village currently poses a greater threat and is the primary target that Itachi needs to consider.

“You’re still as gentle as ever, Itachi-san,” Yoriichi said.

Uchiha Itachi didn't speak. His thoughts were completely seen through by Yoriichi. He even thought that Yoriichi also possessed the same Ten Directions ability as Fang Zun, or even stronger.

Fang Zun remained silent. As a transmigrator, he, like Yoriichi, knew Uchiha Itachi's true thoughts and intentions.

But he didn't care about any of that. Fang Zun's only thought was to survive among so many powerful ninjas.

Power and strength are merely tools for self-preservation.

The long-term organization of the competition, which resulted in the deaths of so many people, was ultimately aimed at maintaining rule and preventing any change.

Before he traveled back in time, his history teacher had taught him that, regardless of the dynasty, the fundamental purpose of all the measures taken by monarchs was to consolidate their rule and strengthen their control over the regime.

Fang Zun was very fond of history, believing that history could serve as a mirror, allowing people to learn many valuable lessons.

My history teacher once said that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to reconcile, and Itachi must be in a rather extreme situation like this.

Fang Zun believed that it was enough for a person to pursue what they needed most.

He lacked the heroic spirit of those historical figures; his ambition was small, and he was only concerned with protecting himself.

If a person wants to live a good life, they should strive to develop in the field they love most. This question is very simple, but it has troubled him for a very long time.

As a child, Fang Zun always believed that he would make a name for himself and serve his country when he grew up. But now he no longer thinks that way. Now, he lives only for himself.

It is a sad thing to be trapped in the eyes of the world. Historical figures are like a painting, sealed in people's eyes and judged by everyone. But once the era passes, they will withdraw from the historical stage and lose the opportunity to perform.

This is something that happens to everyone. Historical figures are engraved in people's hearts, in their own hearts. They may sometimes care about how future generations will see them, but this also restricts their actions.

A person who always follows their own heart is often the happiest and most joyful, but becoming such a person is actually more difficult than anything else.

Whether it's succumbing to reality or the opinions of others, this prevents everyone from fully following their own heart.

They have so much to think about, so many people to care for, so many things to be mindful of, and so much pressure from responsibility.

Fang Zun did not want to become that kind of person. In his eyes, Uchiha Itachi had already become that kind of person. He was swayed by the interests of the village, thus abandoning his relatives and clan, and wiping out almost all of the Uchiha clan members.

But this was his choice. Everyone makes decisions based on their own choices. Uchiha Itachi had already thought about what he was doing, so he could no longer regret it.

After Yoriichi exposed Itachi's thoughts, Itachi began to sweat profusely. Now that Yoriichi knew these things, his younger brother Sasuke from Konoha might not be so safe after all.

Itachi Uchiha was a little flustered. Seeing him like this, Yoriichi spoke up:

"Don't worry, Itachi, I won't force you to make a decision in the short term, nor will I do anything that you find extremely objectionable."

Yoriichi made a promise, saying that he knew everything about Itachi Uchiha, what he cared about, the people, and the country that Itachi was attached to.

In his previous life, when Yoriichi watched Naruto, he held Itachi in high esteem.

However, the two are currently in an extremely delicate position, a situation based on many factors.

For example, at the very beginning, Yoriichi once thought of conquering Konoha and gaining the power of the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire. Such an opening would be easier than under any other circumstances.

But things took an unexpectedly strange turn, with all sorts of changes happening almost without any pattern or foreshadowing, and everything pouring down on him in a rapid manner.

These events were enough to overwhelm him, and while he gained some opportunities, he also lost many others.

For example, the recruitment plan for Uchiha Itachi.

If Yoriichi had taken over Konoha much earlier, he could have exploited Itachi Uchiha's loyalty to Konoha and manipulated this genjutsu genius.

At the same time, it can also cultivate a large number of Konoha's geniuses to help him consolidate his rule.

As everyone knows, the strength of the new generation in Konoha Village is unmatched by the new generation in other countries.

Even if Yoriichi has gathered a large number of new generation members as his subordinates, their strength still cannot compare with the future new generation of Konoha.

Therefore, Yoriichi's next target was the two remaining brothers of the Uchiha clan.

The powerful Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke.

The most urgent task is to dispel their vigilance and defensiveness towards him, and gradually make them submit to him.

"This is something we absolutely cannot rush," Yoriichi thought.

He looked in the direction of Itachi Uchiha and spoke.

"In time, you will understand me. I hope that we brothers will have the opportunity to continue to work together in the future."

After leaving those words, Yoriichi prepared to flee.

After all, the crisis has been resolved, Akatsuki can return with the Eight-Tails, and the most powerful Azure has also been taken offline.

As for the other people in the Land of Lightning, such as the Raikage, Yoriichi was too lazy to deal with them and left them to others.

Thinking of this, Yoriichi smiled slightly.

"But this trip wasn't entirely without its merits..."

Chapter 157 Double Reversal

Suddenly, a clap of thunder shattered the surrounding silence.

Itachi Uchiha maintained a gesture of pleading as he looked at Yoriichi, then stopped what he was doing and turned to look in the direction of the thunderclap.

At that moment, a scene directly shocked him.

In the distance, Cang Lan, dragging his shattered body, stood high in the sky, staring at the crowd with hatred. His eyes, body, and almost every part of his body were covered in blood.

He roared, and the thunder dragon that had lifted him up charged straight at Yoriichi!

"I'm going to kill you!" Azure had gone mad. He never expected that his plans would be thwarted time and time again, and that Yoriichi would almost defeat him by using him!

"Do you think I'm so easily defeated? You're all so naive." Azure's voice suddenly turned cold.

In the distance, an ice dragon slowly condensed around the group.

Yoriichi's gaze gradually tightened. He was very familiar with this dragon. Wasn't this kind of chakra the white one?

Has Bai fought against Canglan before?

Yoriichi made a guess, but before he could think further, a powerful dragon plummeted from the sky and slammed towards him.

The combination of lightning and ice crystals caused two giant dragons to attack Yoriichi from different directions at extremely high speeds with fierce attacks!

Yorimitsu's gaze sharpened slightly. The white ice crystals were made from a special bloodline limit, Ice Release, and even he wasn't entirely confident that he could burn them off in a short time.

"It seems I have no choice but to hide." Yoriichi made his decision and began to quickly jump left and right from place to place.

To others, this scene resembled a ghost constantly teleporting. Yoriichi was incredibly fast, instantly dodging the attack from both dragons. At that moment, the two dragons collided, creating a cloud of white mist.

Yoriichi gazed at the white mist, lost in thought, but soon, he sensed an extremely powerful chakra approaching.

Azure leaped straight down from afar, brandishing a sharp blade and stabbing fiercely at Yoriichi. The bloodstains on his face were shocking and extremely terrifying. Combined with the look in his eyes that showed a determination to kill someone with his life, Azure lived up to his name as a hunter.

He was like a powerful cheetah, appearing before Yoriichi in the blink of an eye.

"It's a space-time technique!" Yoriichi recognized it, his eyes widened, and he quickly swung his longsword to defend against it.

Below, white mist gradually enveloped Itachi Uchiha and Fang Zun's bodies.

Fang Zun had a bad feeling about the situation he was in, and he began to foresee what his future would hold.

Soon, images, like film, began to unfold in his mind, forming a wondrous picture.

In the painting, Fang Zun and Uchiha Itachi both fell to the ground.

Fang Zun widened his eyes and shouted at Uchiha Itachi:

"This white fog is dangerous!"

Soon, Fang Zun activated a spacetime jump, arriving in front of Uchiha Itachi. He lifted Itachi up and swept past him, bypassing the white mist.

Uchiha Itachi looked at the white mist, and suddenly a powerful bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck the white mist, blowing it away.

"This is?"

Uchiha Itachi looked towards the sky and saw Yoriichi bite his finger and summon Manda!

The myriad snakes pressed down, directly dispersing the white mist.

At that moment, Yoriichi's body also disappeared and went to the interior of Manda.

The magic circle in Azure's hand expanded, continuously releasing extremely powerful attacks, indiscriminately striking both friend and foe.

Some of the attacks landed sporadically on the people of Kumogakure, and their bodies vanished instantly like steam.

Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath and bit his finger slightly. A large number of crows flew out from his sleeves, enveloping Fang Zun and Itachi.

Although we don't know what will happen next, since Yoriichi has gone into hiding, it's best to lay low for now.

Suddenly, Itachi Uchiha froze on the spot, staring blankly into the air, muttering to himself:
