Chapter 192: Uchiha Itachi's Chase Back Battle
Their confrontation was discovered by the Anbu ninja of Konoha Village, and the news was quickly reported to Jiraiya who was taking a nap in the office.
Thinking of the instructions given to him by the Third Hokage before his death, he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
I originally thought this matter was not urgent, but I didn't expect Uchiha Itachi to come so quickly.
After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the Third Hokage wrote a personal letter detailing what had happened and left the letter secretly in the old house of the Sarutobi clan.
He hoped that his successor could use his own handwritten letter to clear Uchiha Itachi's name. Uchiha Itachi was not a traitor. He had sacrificed a lot for the village and should not suffer more blame and torture. The Third Hokage believed that he should make this matter clear. The right and wrong and merits and demerits of this matter could be judged by future generations.
Jiraiya knew about the existence of this letter, but he had so many things to do and was used to being lazy that he didn't make this a top priority for the time being.
Now that the victim has come knocking on his door, his place is in chaos.
He first found Shikaku and asked Shikaku, who had not yet completely handed over the position of leader of the Jonin squad, to take people to support Kakashi and catch up with Uchiha Itachi, either by force or by words, to detain him first.
Shikaku was not involved in the Uchiha clan's massacre. At that time, he was not yet a staff officer. He only had guesses about the incident, and he was not clear about the specific process and participants.
The three Hokage and his companions decided all the major and minor affairs of Konoha Village. As a staff officer, he was often the spokesperson for the Ninja Clan. His power was neither small nor great.
Jiraiya whispered a few words and Shikaku's face became serious. This kind of thing of wiping one's ass was the most difficult to handle.
"I'm going to find the letter. No matter what that Uchiha thinks, the village must make this matter clear. You guys go first, I'll be there soon!"
Jiraiya rushed all the way into the Sarutobi family's old house and met Konohamaru on the way.
Konohamaru lowered his head, holding a cardboard box in his arms, which contained some of the Third Hokage's relics.
Jiraiya saw the crystal ball in the cardboard box at a glance. Even though the situation was urgent, he still felt that this thing was... very valuable! He grabbed the crystal ball and put it in his arms.
"Hokage-sama?" Konohamaru had already come out of the shadow of his grandfather's death. He was a little stuttering at this time, but he still greeted Jiraiya. He was quite puzzled. What was this person doing in his house? Jiraiya scratched his head: "Well, I remember the third generation old man said that there were some letters left for me in his archives. Do you know where his archives are?"
"I know, Hokage-sama, please follow me."
Two minutes later, Jiraiya found the Third Hokage's data room, opened it, and was stunned.
More than fifty large cabinets were filled with various densely packed documents. It was very difficult to find a letter among so many documents.
Jiraiya was extremely depressed and subconsciously wanted to ask Naruto to use his shadow clones to help, but when the words came to his lips, he thought that this matter involved the reputation of the village and he couldn't delegate it to others. He could only create thirty shadow clones himself, cursing and searching for the crucial handwritten letter among the piles of documents.
On the other side, Shikaku found his old friend Choza, and his opponents were the S-rank rebel ninjas Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame. The former's Sharingan and the latter's water jutsu were both extremely powerful. He was still thinking of the Ino-Shika-Cho combination, but unfortunately Haiyi had gone out of the village to perform a mission, and Yamanaka Feng was a member of the Root, so he could only call on Ino who had just returned to the Yamanaka Flower Shop. The three of them formed the core of the "Uchiha Itachi recovery" mission.
Shikaku was not as optimistic as Jiraiya. He believed that there was a high chance that this incident would recur.
The Inuzuka family would definitely be involved in the pursuit, so he called on Inuzuka Kiba's mother, Inuzuka Tsumugi.
To fight against the strong men of the Uchiha clan, the Byakugan is indispensable, so he called on the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi.
The five men followed the trail.
On the other side, Kakashi relied on his Sharingan and wanted to practice with Itachi. He asked several people to close their eyes and not look at the Sharingan. As a result, he himself could not even hold on for a second and was knocked down by Itachi.
At the critical moment, good friend Might Guy came to the rescue.
Itachi and Kisame decided to call it a day and directed their target for today towards the Nine-Tails, then floated away.
The "Uchiha Itachi Recovery" team met them on the road.
Might Guy wanted to go with them, but Shikaku refused. Guy was a big mouth, and once he got excited, he might just spread the news to everyone. It was hard to describe what the Uchiha clan had done in Konoha, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. The clan leaders had large families and had seen a lot of dark things. Ino was one of Ino, Shikaku and Chou's own people, so even if he knew the whole story, he would not spread it everywhere. Might Guy was too straightforward, so he could not be allowed to know the details of the matter.
Kakashi and Hong were both seriously injured by Uchiha Itachi's illusion, and Asuma was also injured in the battle with Kisame. Shikaku ordered Kai to escort them back first, and their five-man team continued to chase Uchiha Itachi.
The arrival of Inuzuka Tsumugi, the middle-aged woman with a slightly cruel look, was a bit unnecessary, because after Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame defeated Kakashi, they did not run away at all. They were strolling leisurely on the road. Within ten minutes, they were blocked by the five-man group.
"Mr. Itachi, the people in your village are really persistent, but it seems that only some old guys are here." Hoshigaki Kisame showed a mouthful of shark-like teeth and looked at Ino fiercely: "However, there is still a young fish mixed in. Is it the person from the bookstore before? Why? Judging from your expression, do you want to fight with your uncle Kisame?"
Kisame's strengths lie in physical skills, super strength, Samehada and chakra. As for water-style ninjutsu alone, Ino is not afraid of him.
"Uchiha Itachi, I want to talk to you." Shikaku said.
Before he finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi tilted his head slightly. Hyuga Hiashi quickly reminded them, "Close your eyes! His chakra is flowing, and he is about to cast an illusion."
Except for him, the owner of the Byakugan, everyone, including Ino, closed their eyes.
Uchiha Itachi didn't quite understand their intentions: "Mr. Shikaku, head of the Hyuga family, I don't think there is anything for me to discuss with you."
"Not us. The Godaime is on his way. He wants to talk to you."
Uchiha Itachi said lightly: "Not interested."
With the help of Ino's perception, Shikaku gave Choza an order to "take action". He wanted to first eliminate Kisame, the rebel ninja who was in charge of surveillance.
Ding Zuo's right hand quickly multiplied in size. With his eyes closed, he slapped the huge palm fiercely in the direction of Kisame.
The palm was so powerful that it seemed to have a force of a thousand kilograms. Even Kisame did not choose to take it head-on.
He touched the ground with his feet and jumped back more than ten meters before escaping the attack range of Ding Zuo's palm.
