Chapter 541 Itachi Uchiha's Contingency Plan

"Don't be nervous, we really mean no harm."

Renya and Shimura Danzo approached and, seeing the three men looking wary, reassured them.

"Who are you, and what is your purpose in coming here?"

Kakashi Hatake did not lower his guard because of Renya's words; he sensed that the two people in front of him were extremely dangerous!

The handsome young man, in particular, instilled fear in him.

If the two people harbor ill intentions towards them, the consequences will certainly be dire!

"My name is Lian Ye, and he is my good brother. I can't reveal his name." Lian Ye patiently explained, "As for why we've come here, we do have some purpose."

"I need to take something from Naruto Uzumaki..."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Naruto Uzumaki.

This is the destined protagonist of Naruto, who had not yet been born in his timeline.

We'll probably have to wait more than a decade to see it.

"Looking for me?" Naruto Uzumaki was completely bewildered, not understanding what the other party had about him that was worth their attention.

Kakashi Hatake seemed to realize something and immediately pulled Naruto back.

"You're from the Akatsuki, aren't you!"

The Akatsuki's collection of tailed beasts is now common knowledge. The jinchūriki of other ninja villages have all been killed, except for the Nine-Tails jinchūriki of Konoha.

He thought the two were members of Akatsuki sent to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"So you're from Akatsuki!"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized what was going on and immediately prepared for battle.

After defeating the two, he will go find Sasuke, hoping that everything is still in time!

"Don't misunderstand, we are not members of the Akatsuki, and we are not here to find you for the Nine-Tails."

Seeing this, Lianye quickly explained, feeling somewhat helpless.

He clearly didn't do anything, these people really have a vivid imagination!

"If it's not for the Tailed Beasts, then what is it for?" Kakashi Hatake narrowed his eyes, remaining vigilant.

Although the person in front of him did not show any intimidation, he still felt very uneasy.

A stranger who is powerful will always be feared!

"To be honest, I came here for a Sharingan," Lian Ye stated her purpose. "And that Sharingan is in Naruto Uzumaki's possession!"

"The Sharingan? On Naruto?!"

When Kakashi Hatake first heard that Renya's goal was the Sharingan, he thought she wanted his eyes.

Unexpectedly, what they wanted was Naruto's Sharingan!

Most importantly, where did Naruto get his Sharingan from?!

"Hey, are you guys mistaken? I don't have any Sharingan at all!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted.

Speaking of Sharingan, Kakashi-sensei does have one.

After all, the title of Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi didn't come for nothing.

Logically, they should have asked Kakashi-sensei for it, so why did they come to him?

Just when they thought the other had made a mistake, Lianye slowly shook her head: "I'm not mistaken. What I want is the Sharingan from your Uzumaki Naruto."

Itachi Uchiha placed the crow containing Shisui Uchiha's left eye into Naruto's body as a backup plan to prevent his younger brother Sasuke from falling into depravity and seeking revenge on Konoha after his death.

This crow's eyes can activate the strongest genjutsu, "Kotoamatsukami." Itachi Uchiha pre-set the trigger condition to be seeing his own Mangekyou Sharingan, and also set the content of the genjutsu to "protect Konoha."

He anticipated that if Sasuke wanted the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he would definitely choose to have his own eyes transplanted.

Later, when Sasuke fights Naruto in order to destroy the village, this crow will appear from Naruto's body and use genjutsu on Sasuke, thereby forcibly changing his mind about taking revenge on Konoha.

However, Itachi Uchiha did not expect that he would be resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi after his death, and that this genjutsu was triggered when he unexpectedly met Naruto.

This did free him from Kabuto's control, preventing the intended use from being achieved smoothly.

Although Itachi Uchiha broke free of control and, together with his younger brother Sasuke, defeated Kabuto Yakushi during the Fourth Shinobi World War, freeing him from the Impure World Reincarnation technique, this did not affect the final outcome of the battle.

It's like Itachi Uchiha shut down the shared network, but he didn't expect Madara Uchiha to still have data.

For Renya, the only problem is that after taking away the eyes, Naruto and Killer Bee might not be able to deal with Edo Itachi and Edo Nagato.

He's not such an irresponsible person.

Since Itachi Uchiha could place Amaterasu in his younger brother's eyes, he could also place the eye technique he had stripped from his right eye on Naruto.

When they encounter Itachi Uchiha, the ability to strip him will be automatically triggered, directly stripping Itachi of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Naruto and Killer Bee could use this opportunity to seal the two of them.

Without Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't have met Kabuto Yakushi in Ryuchi Cave; he could have just waited for the Sage of Six Paths to give him a power-up.

As for Kabuto? Trust the main characters!

As Renya met Naruto's gaze, to the astonishment of the three, his originally black pupils turned crimson, and the black tomoe spun rapidly, eventually transforming into the pattern of a kaleidoscope.

"what?!"

Kakashi Hatake was shocked. He never expected that the person in front of him was an Uchiha clansman with the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno were also stunned by this sudden change.

Renya's Mangekyou Sharingan locked onto Naruto, its power spreading out like invisible ripples.

In his vision, the flow of chakra in Naruto's body became clearly visible, and he keenly caught a trace of extremely subtle chakra mark that was out of place with Naruto himself.

That was Itachi Uchiha's backup plan, which would be difficult to detect without careful observation using the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

It can only be said that Itachi Uchiha's mastery of genjutsu was extremely high!

"I've found you," Lian Ye murmured to herself.

He didn't try to break the complex illusion seal; that would require time and skill, and it was too troublesome.

He chose the most direct and brutal method: forcibly activating the seal!

Lianye's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly shone with an even stronger light, and its immense ocular power, like a flood bursting its banks, relentlessly assaulted the genjutsu seal left behind by Uchiha Itachi.

This is not a release, but rather the destruction of the illusion left behind by Itachi with even stronger eye power.

"Ah!" Naruto Uzumaki felt a sharp pain in his brain and instinctively clutched his head, screaming in agony.

"What did you do to Naruto?!" Sakura Haruno shouted anxiously, about to rush forward to stop him, but was stopped by Danzo Shimura.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon."

He knew his good brother wouldn't kill Konoha ninjas, so experiencing a little pain wasn't a big deal.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

A jet-black raven was forcibly pulled out of Naruto's body by an invisible force.

In the crow's eyes, there was a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan patterns!

Those were Uchiha Shisui's eyes!

Chapter 542 Kakashi's Speculation

The crow flapped its wings and perched on Naruto's shoulder, looking somewhat restless.

Kakashi Hatake stared in disbelief at the suddenly appearing crow and the Mangekyou Sharingan in its left eye.

"This is... the eyes of water... in this way..."

Ignoring Kakashi's shock, Lianye went to Naruto Uzumaki, grabbed the crow, and without hesitation, removed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It's a real shame to have such powerful eyes on a crow.

Why not take it back and upgrade Uchiha Kagami's eyes to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?

At the same time, Renya planted a dojutsu in Naruto's right eye, which was triggered when he encountered Itachi Uchiha, temporarily stripping him of his Mangekyou Sharingan abilities.

Naruto Uzumaki stared wide-eyed at the sky, his mouth slightly agape, his face filled with disbelief and utter confusion.

He subconsciously touched his chest, completely unaware that there was a crow inside him.

He glanced at the crow, then at Renya who possessed the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and finally fixed his bewildered gaze on Kakashi.

I hope to get an explanation from the teacher.

Kakashi Hatake turned his gaze back to the crow and analyzed the situation calmly.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be Itachi Uchiha's doing..."

"Uchiha Itachi?"

The name sent a jolt through Naruto. Wasn't that Sasuke's brother?

Why would he do that?!

"Hmm." Kakashi nodded, his brows furrowing slightly, and continued to speculate, "With Itachi's strength and control over the Sharingan, he is fully capable of setting up such a seal without you even noticing."

"As for the purpose..."

He paused slightly, as if organizing his thoughts, or perhaps weighing how to tell Naruto.

"Considering the eyes of Uchiha Shisui on the crow, and everything Uchiha Itachi did before his death... he may have regarded this as a last resort."

"A method that could be used to deal with Sasuke at a crucial moment."

As Sasuke's teacher, he knew his student's personality, and Uchiha Itachi, as Sasuke's older brother, must have known his younger brother's personality as well.

To prevent such a thing from happening, an insurance policy was installed in Naruto's body in advance.

It was a method Itachi used to stop Sasuke at a crucial moment!

"Dealing with Sasuke?!" Naruto exclaimed in shock, "Why would Itachi...?"

"To stop Sasuke, or... to save Sasuke." Kakashi interrupted him, and said solemnly, "Itachi Uchiha knows the power and curse of the Mangekyou Sharingan. He may have foreseen that Sasuke might go down an extreme path after gaining the power."

"This crow possesses Uchiha Shisui's eyes and can cast the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami. It might be the final option he prepared for Sasuke. An ultimate genjutsu that can forcibly change Sasuke's will and pull him back on track when necessary!"

It must be said that Kakashi is a highly intelligent genius who was able to guess the truth of the matter from Renya's actions and a few words.

“That’s right, the truth is exactly as you said.” Lianye placed the eye into the prepared container and agreed, “This eye is the backup plan that Uchiha Itachi used to modify his younger brother’s will.”

Kakashi's expression was grave as he said in a deep voice, "But now that you've taken the eyes, what will happen to Sasuke?"

Since this eye was Itachi Uchiha's backup plan to modify Sasuke's will, it means that this eye is very important to Sasuke!

He cannot let his eyes be taken away!

"That's right, you can't take this eye away!" Naruto Uzumaki belatedly realized and shouted at Renya.

Without Shisui Uchiha's eyes, Sasuke Uchiha would have been in serious trouble if he had gone to extremes.

He couldn't guarantee that he could persuade Sasuke to turn over a new leaf.

Therefore, we absolutely must not let the two people in front of us take away that Mangekyou Sharingan!

"That's right, you can't take away my eyes!"

Sakura Haruno quickly agreed, knowing she would definitely take Sasuke very seriously.

"Oh, you want to stop me?" Lian Ye looked at the three of them with a playful expression. "The three of you might not be qualified!"

Although Kakashi Hatake is nicknamed "50/50" and can go toe-to-toe with anyone, Renya is confident that she can defeat him.

There's no need for that; defeating the three wouldn't benefit him at all.
