Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Chapter 449: Came for Naruto? ? ?

Rei Amamiya didn't reveal a word of his thoughts. Instead, he smiled and reassured Sasuke, who had burst in shouting, "Sasuke, calm down."

"Has Itachi Uchiha returned?"

Sasuke didn't hear what Rei Amamiya was saying at all; his mind was completely occupied by that man.

He stormed in and stood in front of Rei Amamiya, his cheeks flushed with anger.

After a moment of silence, Amamiya Rei nodded: "Yes, Uchiha Itachi is back."

"I'm going to find him!"

Sasuke's eyes turned bloodshot; he had to find Itachi Uchiha!

He wants revenge!

Sasuke had just turned around and taken a few steps when he heard Rei Amamiya's voice behind him.

"Sasuke, do you know where he is?"

Sasuke stopped in his tracks.

He clenched his fists, turned to look at Rei Amamiya, and a barely perceptible pleading look in his eyes: "Where is he? You know, right?"

Rei Amamiya did know, but logically speaking, he shouldn't have.

So, he shook his head at Sasuke's expectant gaze.

Sasuke gritted his teeth.

Rei Amamiya placed her hand on his shoulder: "Sasuke, calm down. Kakashi-senpai fought with Itachi Uchiha. When he wakes up, he might be able to find out Itachi's whereabouts."

Sasuke's gaze fell on Kakashi, who was lying on the hospital bed.

Even though Sasuke was impatient and couldn't wait a moment longer, he had no choice but to quietly wait for Kakashi to wake up.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know where Itachi Uchiha was.

Kakashi woke up a day earlier than Rei Amamiya had expected.

After being unconscious for two days, Kakashi opened his eyes in his hospital bed.

The first thing he saw was Rei Amamiya sitting by the bed.

"Kakashi-senpai, you're awake!"

A look of surprise lit up Rei Amamiya's eyes.

Kakashi couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Thankfully he didn't die, thankfully he didn't make Zero sad.

Kakashi nodded, propped himself up on the bed, and felt a throbbing pain in his head. He held his head.

"Be careful."

Rei Amamiya placed a pillow behind Kakashi's back.

"Kakashi, where did Itachi Uchiha go? Why did he return to Konoha?"

Before Rei Amamiya could say anything, Sasuke pushed past him, stood by Kakashi's bedside, stared intently at Kakashi, and asked impatiently.

Kakashi paused, glanced at Sasuke, and then his gaze fell on Rei Amamiya.

Rei Amamiya nodded slightly to him.

Kakashi looked at Sasuke and slowly said, "Itachi Uchiha seems to have come for Naruto..."

"what?"

Rei Amamiya feigned surprise as he looked at Kakashi.

"Naruto!"

With a whoosh, Sasuke could no longer hear anything except Itachi Uchiha saying that he was returning to Konoha for Naruto's sake.

What does he want to do?

Did you kill Naruto?

Where is Naruto?

Sasuke grabbed Rei Amamiya's hand, his breathing rapid.

Rei Amamiya pursed her lips, her brows furrowing slightly: "Naruto and Muzan followed Jiraiya-sama to Tanabata Street to look for Tsunade-sama..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke rushed out of the ward.

Rei Amamiya looked worriedly in the direction of the ward door.

Kakashi comforted him, "When it comes to matters concerning Uchiha Itachi, nothing can stop him."

Kakashi seems to know Sasuke quite well. Amamiya Rei sighed, "Since Jiraiya is with them, nothing should happen to him."

Rei Amamiya, recalling Kakashi's earlier answer, asked, "How did Kakashi-senpai know that Itachi returned to Konoha for Naruto's sake?"

Kakashi's eyes showed deep thought as he slowly spoke, "Because he asked me about Naruto's location. Naruto has a special identity, so there's a high possibility that he's heading towards Naruto."

"Naruto is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki..."

Amamiya Rei guessed, "Could it be that they intend to attack Kurama?"

Kakashi didn't speak, but his eyes revealed his agreement with Amamiya Rei's guess.

"Kakashi-senpai, you should rest well. I'll go and take care of the administrative matters for the next two days. Jiraiya-sama is with Naruto, so don't worry."

After giving Kakashi his instructions, Rei Amamiya stood up and said to him.

Kakashi nodded, watching Rei Amamiya's retreating figure. He couldn't help but wonder if Rei had been taking care of him during the two days he had been unconscious.

……

Short Book Street.

A figure darted swiftly through the street.

at the same time.

Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki stepped onto the hotel stairs.

Muzan lay on the bed, legs crossed: "Ten, nine, eight..."

Hearing Muzan's voice, Naruto opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Muzan, what are you counting?"

Muzan placed his hands behind his head, ignoring Naruto's question, and continued counting:

"Six, five, four..."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, puzzled.

Not understanding what Muzan was doing, Naruto closed his eyes and continued his training.

"three……"

"two……"

"one……"

The footsteps stopped at the door.

Muzan's gaze turned towards the doorway.

next second.

A crisp knock came from the direction of the door.

Naruto opened his eyes again, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He jumped off the bed and ran towards the door: "Looks like the Perverted Sage isn't so heartless after all, leaving us here..."

Before he could finish speaking, his hand was already on the doorknob.

Just as Naruto was about to press the doorknob, Muzan covered his hand, stopping him.

Naruto looked at Muzan with a puzzled expression: "Muzan, what's wrong?"

Muzan's behavior was strange.

Muzan stared into Naruto's eyes and said, word by word, "It's not Jiraiya outside the door."

As Muzan finished speaking, Naruto's expression changed drastically. He stared at the wooden door in front of him, released his grip, and swallowed hard: "Then...who could it be?"

Muzan pulled Naruto behind him.

A moment later, Naruto emerged from behind Muzan.

"Muzan, I will protect you!"

Naruto said solemnly, as if making an oath.

"Uh-huh."

Muzan nodded perfunctorily and continued to pull Naruto behind him.

Naruto: "..."

Naruto squeezed next to Muzan. Even if he couldn't stand in front of Muzan, he wanted to face the danger with him.

Muzan pressed the doorknob.

The door was opened a crack.

A pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes were reflected in Muzan's eyes.

Muzan caught a hint of surprise in those Sharingan eyes.

"Ah! They have the exact same face!"

“Mr. Itachi.”

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was next to Itachi Uchiha, immediately saw the little boy's face through the crack in the door.

He looks exactly like the famous Wood Release ninja in the ninja world.

Kisame watched with anticipation, eagerly awaiting Itachi Uchiha's next reaction.

"Sharingan..."

Behind Muzan, Naruto's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the pair of crimson Sharingan eyes.

In the entire ninja world, besides Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, and Muzan, who else possesses the Sharingan?

Naruto could only think of one person.

The older brother whom Sasuke considered an enemy—Uchiha Itachi.

Chapter 450 That Annoying Brat!!!

As if in response to stress, Muzan's black pupils turned crimson, and the black three-tomoe jade beads slowly rotated.

Muzan stared at Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan, wondering if Fugaku's eyes were excited because he saw his son.

"Also, a pair of Sharingan..."

Kisame Hoshigaki curled his lips into a smile, his eyes fixed on Itachi Uchiha out of the corner of his eye: "It seems the rumors are true..."

As for what those rumors were, Kisame Hoshigaki doesn't need to elaborate.

The news spread throughout the ninja world that the Wood Release ninja Rei Amamiya and Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique had given birth to a child named Muzan Kibutsuji.

As Itachi Uchiha saw the Sharingan appear on that familiar face, an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

He forced his gaze away from Muzan and onto Naruto Uzumaki standing beside him.

"Naruto Uzumaki, please come with us."

When Itachi Uchiha said those words, Muzan almost burst out laughing.

In fact, he did laugh out loud.

His laughter immediately broke the somewhat tense atmosphere.

Kisame Hoshigaki tilted his head, looking at Muzan who was laughing with a puzzled expression, unable to understand how he could still laugh.

Muzan flung open the door, crossed his arms, and looked up at Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, who were taller than him: "Who are you? Who do you think you are? You think you can just go with me like that?"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately snapped out of his daze, jumped up, pointed at Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, and shouted, "That's right! Who are you? Why should we follow you!"
