Chapter 37 Duel

"So you escaped after killing the jonin of Sunagakure?"

Nodding, Mitarashi Anko showed an awkward smile and said, "It was actually Itachi who killed that jounin alone. I just watched from the side and gave him a lot of trouble with the card."

"Hahaha!" Jiraiya looked up stupidly and smiled, patting Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder and said, "Then you are really strong, you are simply a genius among geniuses! Even Minato spent a long time learning to fly the Thunder God. How much time do you have, you are so young and can be put into actual combat so quickly!"

Looking at Jiraiya's silly look, it turned out that his character was very similar to the one described in the original work. He showed a polite smile and said, "It's not bad, but it's still far behind the Yondaime-sama."

"Uchiha, it's rare to see someone as humble as you..."

…………

"Itachi is so awesome! Jiraiya-sama praised him for his genius. He can learn things much faster and better than us!" Konan's eyes showed admiration as she looked at Uchiha Itachi's fluent conversation.

Yahiko was naturally dissatisfied when he saw Konan's look. He crossed his arms and frowned, saying, "Humph! What's so great about it? I, Yahiko-sama, will be the strongest in the world in the future! I must be much stronger than him."

The lavender pupils under the hair stared at Uchiha Itachi through the circles of Samsara Eyes and said, "Yahiko, you are wrong, he is indeed stronger than you. I can see this from his chakra and it is still growing." That kind of thing.”

"Nagato, what did you say I..."

Although it was a whisper, with their current strength, how could they cover it up so that others present could not hear it? Jiraiya laughed and looked at Yahiko, "Yahiko, don't underestimate Itachi. Although he is not Orochimaru's disciple, he is a disciple in name only. With his strength, he will definitely be good at teaching."

"You are both Sannin, so Jiraiya-sensei, you are not weaker than Orochimaru-sama, so you think that we who were taught by you, Sensei, are also weak, right?"

"How is that possible? I'm much more powerful than Orochimaru!" Jiraiya, who like Yahiko didn't have much of a brain to take care of things, was angry at the time. He stood up and said, "It's not that you are weak, because Orochimaru and I are from Konoha." Ninjas have no reason to fight with all their strength, so! Let you, who are also our disciples, compete to see who is stronger! Hahaha! Isn’t it?”

"But Jiraiya-sama, I am not Orochimaru's student and I am only eight years old. If you want to find it, look for Anko-chan. She is 100% Orochimaru's disciple."

"This..." The sudden burst of enthusiasm was interrupted by Uchiha Itachi, whose eyes slowly moved to Mitarashi Anko, who had not yet recovered from the injury.

"Don't you dare to fight me? Hongdou is a wounded person and you have the nerve to let him play. It seems that Konoha's..."

Looking towards Yahiko, Uchiha Itachi interrupted him and said, "Do you really want to be tortured? You know, I, Uchiha, am the strongest being in Konoha."

The sudden increase in morale and arrogance startled Yahiko, but he didn't think much about it when his head was hot and he crossed his arms and said, "Humph! I don't believe how strong you little brat can be!"

He showed a weird smile, originally I didn't want to argue with this idiot, but after all, I am half a Konoha native, and I still don't feel comfortable being mentioned about my hometown by a stranger.

"Then Jiraiya-sama, don't blame me for bullying your apprentice."

"Hahaha! It's okay. It's time to teach this naive guy some lessons." Jiraiya regained his senses after his brain was overheated. He still knew how powerful Uchiha was. According to what Uchiha Itachi told him, he escaped from Sunagakure. When he came out, he knew that he had the Sharingan, but these guys didn't know how powerful the Sharingan was, and the ninjas of the Uchiha clan who have the Sharingan generally have their strength increased by a large level, and it is always good to endure hardships... …

"Come on Yahiko!"

Nagato and Konan were cheering Yahiko on the side, and Anko Mitarashi, not to be outdone, shouted, "Itachi! Come on! Let him see the power of Konoha!"

So Konan and Anko Mitarashi started to compare their voices, Uchiha Itachi rolled his eyes and ignored them, while Yahiko had a look of excitement on his face.

It was raining lightly in the sky, and Uchiha Itachi caught a drop of rain through his raincoat, closing his eyes and feeling all this until...

"Start!" Jiraiya acted as a referee in the middle. With his call, the sound of treading water resounded around him. The smile on his lips turned out to be a brainless guy...

Opening his eyes, the blood-red three-magatama Sharingan slowly emerged. Opposite Yahiko saw the motionless Uchiha Itachi suddenly opened his eyes, and the eyes were different from the original ones, which was strange, but he felt... ………

Pfft!

Yahiko, who was running, rolled his eyes and fell to the ground like a dog. Konan and Nagato, who were shouting cheers next to them, stiffened in their voices.

"Hahaha! You idiot! You dare to look directly into Itachi's eyes! Hahaha..."

Konan and Nagato's faces were dull as Mitarashi Anko laughed. Konan angrily glared at Yahiko who was unconscious and then turned to Uchiha Itachi. Is this little boy's eyes so strong? why is that?

"Is this an illusion? Teacher Jiraiya?" Nagato looked at Jiraiya in confusion.

"Yes! That's right, this is genjutsu! The Uchiha clan's unique way of releasing genjutsu! Sharingan! It can release super powerful genjutsu and it can also rebound. The genjutsu owner is almost immune to genjutsu. Of course, the degree of immunity depends on the owner. It depends on the strength of the illusion of the user." Jiraiya explained patiently, looked at Uchiha Itachi with a kind look and said, "You are indeed the genius I fancy! Itachi, you win! Although I don't want to admit it, Orochimaru is really He is an incredibly powerful genius."

"Thank you, Jiraiya-sama, for the compliment." Itachi Uchiha turned to Yahiko, and he woke up from the illusion with a snap of his fingers. He rubbed his eyes, and there was still a mixture of saliva, rain, and soil around his mouth.

He looked at the surrounding situation with a confused expression.

"what happened?"
