Chapter 22: Kakashi Hachiki

Itachi Uchiha stopped three meters away from the masked man.

His body leaned forward slightly, and the kunai in his hand was crossed in front of his chest, making a defensive gesture.

"People who act recklessly and are eager for quick success, who have no strength and like to boast, tend to die quickly. This is the world of ninjas. ”

The masked man let out a sympathetic sigh as he looked at Kurama Izumo, who was already motionless on the ground and stared at the sky with round eyes.

"As for you. Not only did he not fall for my illusion, but he calmly weighed the strength of both sides. Very well behaved, Itachi Uchiha. I appreciate you. ”

"Why do you know my name?"

Uchiha Itachi stared at the masked man calmly, stalling for time while desperately thinking of countermeasures.

The masked man suddenly rushes towards the palanquin where the daimyo is hiding.

What seemed a little funny was a bit of a jump, and the pace suddenly became extremely fast.

That's the pace of a ninja.

"My purpose is to take the old man's life. If you just watch from the sidelines, I'll spare your life. ”

He swept past the Uchiha Itachi like the wind.

"Anyway, I'm a ninja of Konoha."

A shiny kunai lightning slashed across the masked man's throat.

However, kunai, along with Uchiha Itachi's right hand, penetrated the masked man's body.

It's exactly the same as what happened to Kurama Izumo before.

Seeing that the blow could not be achieved, the Uchiha Itachi retreated several meters in a row and took a defensive posture again.

The masked man stopped, turned and walked towards Itachi Uchiha.

Inside the only hole in the mask, a blood-red pupil glowed with a strange red glow.

The pressure of the waves nearly suffocated the Uchiha Itachi.

He struggled to open his mouth, but he couldn't get out a word.

His body was completely out of his way.

I don't know if it's because of the illusion, or because of the huge pressure of the man, or because of the disparity in strength between the two sides, the body began to resist his will.

All in all, it was the first time since he was reborn that he had come so close to death.

The masked man walked up to Itachi Uchiha, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at him with the evil eye inside the hollow.

Due to the proximity of the distance, the hot breath he exhaled from under the mask was like a wave, hitting the Uchiha Itachi's young face wave after wave.

"Can you repeat what you just said?"

The masked man's voice was cold.

"I... I am. Konoha. of ninjas. ”

Itachi Uchiha squeezed out a few words in a hoarse voice.

"Are you saying you want to die?"

Die....

The expression on Itachi's face looked indifferent.

The words that came out of the masked man's mouth had no effect on him.

"You're going to be a pretty good ninja, there's no need to die here. But even so, if you still want to die, I won't stop you. ”

The masked man said in a serious and sincere tone,

"Take back what you just said, and apologize, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise.. ”

"Get moving... Get moving... ”

Uchiha Itachi roared at himself in the bottom of his heart, but what came out of his mouth was:

"What the fuck。。。。。 Sorry... ”

The masked man no longer hesitated, and the blade of his right hand was plunged into Itachi's heart.

It's the same blow that killed Kurama Izumo.

"Huh."

A soft cry came from the masked man's mouth, his voice tinged with surprise.

At the moment when the masked man's right arm pierced Uchiha Itachi's ninja suit, a kunai stabbed him in the throat with a fierce wind.

Like a sharp blade, the arm with a metallic sharp texture suddenly pierced Itachi's body like a shadow.

The Uchiha Itachi retreated several meters, beads of sweat the size of soybeans falling down his cheeks.

His eyes were blood-red.

Just like the red in the masked man's hollow.

It's just that the black magatama in Itachi's pupils is one less than that of the masked man.

"Yo... That's good. ”

The masked man was suddenly interested.

Now for the Masked Man, killing Itachi Uchiha has become his go-to target.

Killing an Uchiha clan with a chakra eye is obviously more appealing than killing an old man who is powerless.

Step by step, he approached Itachi Uchiha.

And Itachi, under his tsunami-like pressure, was forced to retreat step by step.

The masked man suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the sky.

"That familiar chakra."

He said to himself,

"It's Kakashi Hachiki."

A black dot in mid-air grew larger and larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a human figure.

It was like a meteorite falling from the sky, slamming into the ground.

"Good luck, Itachi Uchiha. Successfully picked up a small life. ”

There was a strong reluctance in the masked man's voice.

Unbelievable things have happened.

Uchiha Itachi stared at the hole in the mask man's mask in amazement, and quickly sucked the masked man's body inside.

Like a black hole, it quickly sucked the masked man's body into the air, leaving only a black dot in the air, strangely staying in the air.

As if mocking the Uchiha Itachi, the black dots playfully flashed in the air and disappeared completely.

。。。。。。。。

"Bang."

A thin figure slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of smoke.

The ground cracked, and in the middle of the smashed dirt pit stood a gray-haired boy wearing a fox mask.

The Hokage is directly under the Shadows.

The elite of the elite ninjas.

Animal masks are proof of their identity.

"Hey, are you all okay? What happened? ”

The gray-haired boy asked.

Soon, three more shadows wearing animal masks fell from the sky.

"The sudden appearance of the illusion caused all three shadows except me to be tricked, and it took a lot of time to solve the illusion. Caused the rescue to be late, sorry. ”

The gray-haired boy explained earnestly to Itachi Uchiha.

Uchiha Itachi didn't look at him, and his gaze stopped on Kurama Izumo, who was lying on the ground.

"Ah。。。。。h

The daimyo who had been unlocked the illusion let out a terrible scream when he saw Kurama Izumo's death.

Shintsuna, who has been shouting all day to teach Kurama Izumo, is silently crying on the side.

On the contrary, Fujiki looked nonchalant and was busy comforting the frightened daimyo.

"I'm sorry."

The gray-haired boy whispered something to the weasel and turned to leave.

"Kakashi Hachiki."

Uchiha Itachi muttered.

"How do you know my name?"

The gray-haired boy turned his head and looked at Itachi Uchiha with some surprise.

"Not only do I know your name, but I also know that you will be the man who will take my younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha, on the path of a ninja."

Uchiha Itachi thought so in his heart, calmly looked at Kakakashi Hachiki, and did not answer.
