From stopping Sakura Haruno and his party to the present, Uchiha Itachi finally stopped his eyes on the boy beside Sakura for the first time.

There was no trace of emotional fluctuation in his cold eyes, and his cold and indifferent blood-colored eyes were as deep and calm as the sea.

"Sasuke......" The scarlet and cold kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes fell on Sasuke's face.

"You've grown up. ”

A plain sentence declares that these brothers, who were once close and friendly and now turn against each other, meet again after many years.

The emotionless words hid all of Itachi's thoughts under his mask of indifference.

Is he excited? Is he guilty?

Or is there only hatred and disgust between him and Sasuke?

Looking at this man who hides everything in his heart, such as joys, sorrows, and sorrows, Sakura Haruno finds it difficult to understand him.

Who is he, and what is his purpose?

All the information that Sakura Haruno came into contact with, including what she had heard and seen in her previous life, including the top-secret information she had consulted in this life, all affirmed Itachi's identity - he was Konoha's man. But when she really faced Uchiha Itachi, she didn't see any trace of Itachi as a Konoha spy.

His chakra, his killing intent, was magnificently revealed.

No matter how you look at it, the Itachi in front of her is her enemy.

Also, if it was so easy for her to see, then Itachi's spy identity would have been exposed a long time ago.

However, Sakura Haruno also can't guarantee which side Itachi is standing on now. Can a so-called spy who has not been in contact with Konoha for many years really be trusted? Even if he still remembers his identity as a Konoha ninja, this battle is inevitable.

Two pairs of writing wheel eyes are staggered in mid-air.

"Uchiha Itachi ......"

Sasuke's voice is more immature than Itachi's, with the hoarseness of the end of the voice-changing period.

Compared to Itachi's indifferent words, when Sasuke spoke, Sakura Haruno could hear the hatred and confusion in his heart.

On the one hand, he still regarded the weasel as a target of revenge, and on the other hand, he also had doubts about what happened back then......

"According to you, I have always hated you for living. Sasuke took a deep breath and said coldly, "That's why I'm able to stand in front of you now......"

"You're stronger than before. Itachi's voice came from under the high collar of the black trench coat, "But...... It's not enough. ”

Sasuke held his head high and sneered.

"Indeed...... I'm not strong enough to compete with you right now. He looked into Itachi's unwavering eyes and said, "But, sooner or later, I will surpass you, defeat you, and then ask the truth of everything and complete my revenge!"

When he said this, Sasuke finally understood that he couldn't be an ostrich for the rest of his life, ignoring the suspicions behind the extermination of the clan back then, and just brainlessly listed Itachi as the object of hatred and went for revenge in a daze!

However, such a path may be more difficult and painful than simply killing Itachi to complete revenge...... It was so heavy that he couldn't think.

"Truth...... "Itachi's expression fluctuated for the first time.

His eyes flickered a few times in an imperceptible moment, his pupils contracted, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze became colder and colder.

It doesn't matter what the truth is.

Sasuke embarks on a path to pursue the truth, and also deviates from the life path he designed for Sasuke.

What if he knew the truth? At the end of the day, did he find that his proud parents and family were so despicable, and then live in the truth of pain? Such pain, it is enough for him to bear it alone.

Sasuke deserves a happy future with glory, family, and a peaceful life.

Itachi's lips touched slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

The wind blows at the end of June, and the air is so hot that it turns the atmosphere restless.

The sun shone down from the sky slanting above, and the shadow fell in front of Itachi, casting a shadow over his face.

He was silent for a moment before he said coldly, "Then let me see your enlightenment......

In the world of ninjas, strength is the foundation that determines everything. If you don't have enough strength, you won't even have the qualifications to pursue the truth!

can only accept the fate imposed on you by others......

Therefore, the ferret does not keep its hands.

Itachi won't kill Sasuke, of course, but he will teach Sasuke a profound lesson: make Sasuke firmly hate himself, kill him in the future, and become a hero to destroy the traitors of Konoha!

When the brothers confronted each other here, the ghost shark next to them was not silent.

"Hmph, is it a one-on-one heads-up......? Interesting!" Oni Shark's eyes flashed over Sasuke's body and then landed on the girl's face, "The Konoha ninja who fought Akatsuki many times and killed Deidara?

Unlike Itachi's deepness, the expression on his face was more of bloodthirsty excitement.

"Dried persimmon oni shark, one of the original Seven Swords of the Fog Ninja, the highest ninja who has ever defected in the history of the Misty Ninja......" Sakura said coldly, "Your deeds back then are still circulating in the Misty Ninja Village." Should I feel honored to be able to fight against the legendary defector ninja of the past?"

"Defection?no," Oni Shark didn't see any recollection or remorse on his face, but said disdainfully, "I just abandoned that village full of lies and falsehoods!"

The corners of Sakura Haruno's mouth curled into a mocking smile.

"And then, you found your truth and home in the Xiao Organization?" she was obviously looking up at the oni shark, but her tone gave people the feeling of looking down, "The fourth generation of Mizukage was controlled by Madara Uchiha with a writing wheel eye, what about you? You can be controlled without using a writing wheel eye?"

In her opinion, he was just hurt and went to the other extreme, but that's it.

The ghost shark's small eyes narrowed dangerously, and the killing intent became more and more intense.

"You haven't killed your own companions with your own hands, have you, who haven't experienced the darkness, are not in a position to judge our path. He sneered, "Let me make an interesting hypothesis." What would you do if Sasuke defected one day, and you were ordered by the village to kill Sasuke......?

Sasuke's defection? In the original book, he had already done this once.

And what about Sasuke in this world?

Although he has established a strong enough bond with everyone, the affairs between the Uchiha and the village are too complicated...... Sasuke still has the possibility of defecting.

If that day does come, how will Sakura Haruno deal with herself?

The question is unusually heavy......

"I don't think you need any special qualifications to judge you criminals. Especially if you need to commit the same sins to judge you, this kind of logic is really ridiculous......" The girl took a deep breath, avoided the question, and retorted, "What's more, the order to kill your companion is the order issued during the time when the four generations of Mizukage were manipulated by Akatsuki, if you really felt angry and disgusted with the current situation in the village, you should seek revenge on Akatsuki, instead of complicity with Akatsuki." ”

"A sharp-toothed little girl, another poor worm who has been brainwashed by the village......" The ghost shark raised the big knife and pointed at the girl, and said with a cold snort, "Do you only have a good mouth?"

"Then use your fists to make your arguments more persuasive...... I'm not interested in convincing a dying man, though. ”

Sakura Haruno put her hand in front of her chest and clenched her fists.

Truth should exist objectively.

But in the final analysis, there is no absolute truth in this world, only absolute power! If you want to convince others of your own reasoning, the most effective way is to defeat the other party first!

The ghost shark looked at her fixedly for a few moments, then pointed not far away and said, "So, let's change places...... How about leaving this here to the two brothers?"

Sakura Haruno looked along the broadsword, and the place he pointed to was not far from the other side of the stone mountain, where a meandering blue water flowed leisurely.

Taki-no-kuni has a lot of water, as the name suggests, and this small river is one of the lower tributaries of the Takinonobu waterfall.

A watery country is just right for a water ninja to fight.

It's just that Sakura Haruno and Oni Shark are both water ninjas, and the advantages of the environment should cancel each other out. The ghost shark chose this kind of place, which can only be said that he is very confident in his water escape......

"No problem......"

Sakura nodded. She saw his intentions, but she wasn't afraid to compete with any ninja.

It should be said that Sakura Haruno is more confident in her ninjutsu!

Out of absolute confidence in their own strength, Akatsuki and Konoha's ninjas simply set the division of the battle, Uchiha Itachi against Sasuke, and Kaki Oni against Sakura Haruno.

Before the battle, Sakura shook Sasuke's hand.

Cold. Tight.

"I'm fine. Sasuke was slightly stunned and said flatly.

The complex emotions in his heart are indescribable.

Sasuke actually understands very well that the current strength between him and Uchiha Itachi is completely different from cloud and mud. He's always used Sakura as a benchmark for Itachi's strength - if he can't beat her, he's still far from Itachi. He had just been abused by the girl's Ice Clone Blast Technique a few days ago, and he knew that he was still some distance away from the shadow level, so this was a battle with no chance of winning.

As long as his mind is not carried away by that kind of madness, as long as he doesn't put everything out of his way and wants to kill Itachi like a mad dog, Sasuke still retains a little sobriety, he will be a little nervous in his heart when facing a strong enemy that he will never be able to defeat.

Sakura Haruno sensitively sensed this.

Gripped by the girl's warm and soft hand, like a warm current surging into his heart, Sasuke suddenly felt that his nervous thoughts calmed down a lot.

"A word of advice, Sasuke. The girl let go of her hand and said lightly.

"Huh?"

"Don't die. ”

"Hmph...... "It's not up to him."

Before Sasuke could say the latter sentence, Sakura Haruno and Oni Shark left here one after the other.

"A good piece of advice, Sasuke. Itachi ignored the departure of Oni and Haruno Sakura, just looked at Sasuke, and said coldly, "However, if you want to save your life, the best way is to leave the battle to Haruno Sakura, and you wait for the opportunity to escape the battlefield." ”

"A person like you who slaughters your compatriots will never be able to understand the feeling of protecting your fellow citizens......" Sasuke said as he clasped his hands to his chest, and chakra surged wildly, slowly forming seals.

"It seems that you have the consciousness to protect your companions at the risk of risking your life," Itachi said unhurriedly as he looked at his seal, "then, I hope you also have the consciousness to face death......

The chakra on Sasuke's body has boiled to the top.

"Although I am not your opponent with my current strength," he clenched his teeth and glared at Itachi, "but don't underestimate me too much, it's not so easy to defeat me!"

Although it is far less than the other three people present, the momentum contained in Sasuke's body is also not to be underestimated!

The young man standing on the top of the stone hill remained unmoved.

"You're still the same, you're still so stubborn, stupid brother. Itachi said with a blank face, "This sentence...... You'll just listen to me. ”

Let me see how much your strength has grown apart from your heart, Sasuke......!

Sasuke stopped talking, just poured out the chakra that was boiling to the extreme.

"Thunder Escape-Thousand Bird Demon Body Form!"
