After receiving the doppelganger's information about Uchiha Itachi, Sakura sighed and made a seal on Deidara, who had just finished confessing and was about to talk about art, Deidara's expression fell silent, and she retreated into the coffin that appeared behind her, and then the coffin automatically closed the lid and sank into the ground.

After that, Sakura retrieved the clone that had been in contact with Itachi and went with the others to join Sasuke.

……………………………………………………

A seemingly abandoned border city-

"Sasuke, I'm sorry for being late. Sakura said apologetically. Seeing Sasuke and the others, Sakura beckoned from afar. As for the fact that his doppelganger and Itachi's doppelganger had met, he kept silent.

"It's okay, and besides, the information on the 'Akatsuki' stronghold from Deidara is of some use. In addition, during this time, Shigego also used animals to find some strongholds of 'Akatsuki'. Let's search for each of these places one by one. From now on, the team's name is 'Snake', and the aim is to find and kill the Uchiha Itachi. Sasuke said.

"Well, now that we have enough people, let's split up and investigate. Sakura added. ”

"Eh, can animals also find out the stronghold of 'Akatsuki'?"

"Because small animals are very sensitive to chakra. Shigego explained.

"Hmm, why are imbecile animals sensitive to chakra?"

"I think you're sensitive to danger, right?" Chloe said, if it weren't for her inherent enchantment, it is estimated that everyone would have to confess.

"Oh, I see," Suigetsu selectively ignored Chloe's words and suddenly came to her senses, "Because imbeciles can be sensitive to chakra, just like fragrant phosphorus!"

"Boom!" Shui Yue's head was hit by a punch from Xiang Phosphorus, but it was Xiang Phosphorus's hand that was shocked and numb.

"I'm sorry, I just turned my head into ice. Shui Yue smiled.

"You bastard!" said Xiang Pho and Suigetsu scuffled.

"You two, give me enough to stop. Sasuke said coldly.

"Uh......" Mizuki felt Sasuke's displeasure.

"Wow, such a Sasuke is so handsome~~" Xiang Phosphorus actually covered his mouth with one hand, stretched out the other hand underneath, and said with a confused look. Provoke Chloe and Shuiyue with a black line.

Fire Country, Konoha Village, Hokage's Office-

After listening to the report of the somewhat panting ninja dog Parker, Tsunade thought for a while and said, "Well, you can't leave the renegade alone, and Sasuke and Sakura must be looking for Uchiha Itachi, looking for them may also be able to find clues to 'Akatsuki', although it is a bit of a burden for them, but ...... Summons, change of target-"

"Understood. Parker said, and then "boom!" vanished.

After a while, Jiraiya walked into the office and said, "Yo-"

"Jiraiya, any news?" asked Tsunade.

"I've discovered Akatsuki's headquarters. Jiraiya said.

"What?!" Tsunade stood up suddenly, "Recruit me in detail!

"Well, don't be in such a hurry. Jiraiya waved his hand and said.

"Do you think it's your collection of novels?!How can such a major event be leisurely!" Tsunade was still excited.

"Well, okay, impatience doesn't work, especially when you're making big bets. Jiraiya said, "It's just right, we haven't had a drink together for a long time, so let's go out for a drink and talk slowly." ”

"Idiot, I'm the Hokage, how can I be worthy of a ninja who is working a mission!" Tsunade continued to agitate.

Ten minutes later, the tavern-

"Ha, good wine!" said a red-faced Tsunade as he put down the empty bottle and smiled.

"Didn't you drink the most?" said Jiraiya, speechlessly.

A young clerk came to the table and put down a plate and said, "This is the glutinous rice dumplings you ordered." "I'm about to leave—

"Smack. Jilai also grabbed the hand of the clerk and said, "This young lady, you look good, how about a drink together?"

"Eh, I'm sorry for this guest, our restaurant...... This service is not available in private rooms. The clerk said in a panic.

"Hey!!" Tsunade slammed the table at this.

"Ah...... That, it's a pity, I booked you, I have an apprentice who has been thinking about you, and it might be good to introduce you to him when he returns from the mission. Jiraiya let go of the clerk's hand.

"Yes, thank you for the light. The clerk held the tray and bowed with a smile and turned to leave, "Shouldn't it be exposed?" Isn't it a wise choice to approach the three ninjas to listen to the information? What should I do?" Sakura's clone, disguised as a clerk, finally decided to take a risk, but she was just a clone anyway.

……………………………………………………

A certain "Xiao" stronghold-

Sakura held it in her hand, and the peripheral members of "Xiao" with chaotic eyes shook their hands casually, and their eyes turned from red to blue: "Really, don't these miscellaneous soldiers even know who they are working for?" Sakura said speechlessly. ”

After a while, Sakura, who was about to leave without any gain, received important information about "Akatsuki", and said to herself, "I see, but it seems to be really exposed, so let's disarm the clone." Sakura decided. ”

But Sakura then shook and half-knelt down: "Really, this doppelganger has been outside for a long time, and it has really accumulated a lot of consumption, and Konoha is careless enough, my doppelganger has been sneaking in for so long before it was discovered." Sakura said worriedly for Konoha's future. ”

In fact, because Sakura has been a container for Orochimaru for a long time, Orochimaru's method of concealing himself has long been imprinted on Sakura's body, as long as Sakura has the intention to hide, I'm afraid it will not be easy for ordinary shinobi to find out.

Sakura then stabbed all the people in the stronghold who had fallen unconscious due to the use of illusion torture before turning away.

A moment later-

Sakura, Sasuke, and the others gather in the wild.

After gathering all the people, without waiting for the others to speak, Sasuke immediately said in a commanding tone, "Follow me and let's go." After saying that, he turned around and left.

The crowd hurried to follow.

"Sasuke, did you make any important discoveries?" Sakura asked, swallowing back what she had just heard in Konoha Village.

"Just now, Itachi's shadow clone met with me at a 'Akatsuki' stronghold, and broke off with me at the Uchiha stronghold. Sasuke said with a blank face.

"Itachi, it seems that you are ready to be killed by Sasuke. Sakura whispered.

"It seems that you have quite confidence in Sasuke's strength, Itachi is not a simple opponent. Mizuki interjected.

"It's not so much about having faith ............" According to the information sent back by the doppelganger, Sakura is already very sure that Itachi intends to let Sasuke kill him, and the Uchiha Destruction Gate definitely has a shady curtain, and Itachi intends to bring the shady curtain into the coffin forever with his own death.

"Ah," said Xiang Pho suddenly, "there are quite a few people chasing us, one, two...... Seven!" "Kasami's sensing ability is far above Sakura's.

"That must be Konoha's man, difficult guy. Sasuke said.

"Ahhh," Mizutsuki said, "Sakura-chan, didn't you say that you released the news and asked Konoha's people to deal with 'Akatsuki'?

"So you did it!" said Pho yelled at Sakura.

"Who would have thought that Deidara would have caused such a big self-explosion, if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have caught us so easily. Sakura said with a slight review. ”

"Oh no, there's a very powerful chakra guy in front of you! it's so fast!" said again.

"Ah, that's it, Itachi's teammate, the ghost shark. Sakura sensed it and came to the above conclusion.

"Huh-" A man with a shark face wrapped in a bandage on his back landed in front of the crowd and said, "Next, only Sasuke Uchiha can move forward, That's what Itachi said." (To be continued)
