Uchiha Itachi glanced at him, said nothing more, and walked straight into the alley.
He could say that he was very familiar with the people in the alley, or he could say that he didn't know them at all.
A man in a black robe and a turbine mask that only reveals one eye.
When I first met the masked man, he claimed to be Uchiha Madara, the strongest of the Uchiha family.
Now, the masked man uses the alias "A Fei" and wanders around.
True identity, unknown.
The masked man moved, turned sideways, and faced Itachi.
"Are you planning to attack the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning to stop the war, Itachi?"
His eyes drooped slightly, and the three magatama on his single eye automatically appeared to prevent the younger generation in front of him from suddenly attacking.
In his opinion, if it was Uchiha Itachi, then it wouldn't be too surprising if he did something unexpected.
This younger generation was not under his control.
After hearing what the masked man said, Uchiha Itachi remained calm: "If you came to me just to ask this, then you are overthinking it."
"Really?" The masked man chuckled softly, "I hope so."
"As for war, let them fight as much as they want. In the end, the more fiercely the great powers fight each other, the more people will die, and the more beneficial it will be to our plans to achieve peace in the future."
"Our goal is to see a truly peaceful ninja world."
"Right, Itachi?"
After saying that, the masked man stared at Uchiha Itachi seriously. If possible, he really hoped that Uchiha Itachi could return to his true heart instead of just obeying on the surface.
But Uchiha Itachi just replied with a faint "hmm".
There was nothing more to talk about. The masked man came here only to warn Itachi not to try to stop the war between the two countries. Now that his goal had been achieved, it was time for him to retreat.
Hoshigaki Kisame waited for Itachi at the intersection for a few minutes. After sensing that the masked man had disappeared, he slowly walked in.
"Mr. Itachi."
"Ok?"
"How was the conversation?"
"Nothing much to say, it's no different than before."
Kisame shook his head and said with a smile: "He still doesn't trust you. You are obviously of the same race."
Uchiha Itachi didn't want to continue this topic, so he casually said, "Let's go eat meatballs, Kisame."
Kisame had no objection. He knew Itachi liked sweets, so he followed Itachi and went to find a place selling meatballs.
"Mr. Itachi, when are we leaving?"
"Maybe later."
Uchiha Itachi has no plans to leave for the time being.
The masked man’s previous guess was correct. He wanted to control the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning to interrupt the war, but since the masked man is here, it is obviously not a good time to take action.
If you are not careful, you may end up losing more than you gain.
I have to stay here for a while and look for new opportunities.
Just a few steps out of the alley, Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up, and a strong sense of crisis surged from his heart into his head.
Suddenly, his heart began to beat faster and his Sharingan activated automatically.
He glanced at Kisame beside him. There was nothing wrong with Kisame and he was coming for him.
Uchiha Itachi remained calm, pretending nothing had happened, and silently took out a small mirror from his clothes to look behind him.
Sure enough, he saw a person standing not far away and observing him.
She was wearing a long blue dress, the attire of a woman, with a slender figure, an oval face, thin rosy lips, and a small, delicate nose.
Looking a little higher, you can clearly see a teardrop mole at the corner of the right eye.
This appearance
"It's Izumi!!!"
Uchiha Itachi was stunned.
When Hoshigaki Kisame heard Itachi's inexplicable words, he couldn't help but show a trace of curiosity on his face and asked, "Mr. Itachi, what are you talking about?"
Uchiha Itachi ignored him and turned around to look, but he didn't see the person in the mirror just now, only a crowd of strangers behind him.
At this moment, he didn't care about so many things and hurriedly looked behind.
Seeing this, Kisame followed him.
But after searching for half an hour, they found nothing. They were like headless flies, running around in this country of thunder.
Kisame couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Itachi, what are we looking for now?"
"Nothing, just saw an old friend."
His robes rustled in the breeze, and Uchiha Itachi's mood calmed down at this moment.
Maybe, I just met someone who looked similar to Izumi.
Maybe I even saw it wrong.
Back then, he was the one who personally hired someone to kill Quan, and he was the one who confirmed the body was dead.
The girl who once ate tricolor meatballs with him by the river had died long ago. How could she appear in the Land of Thunder?
Now my body is getting weaker and weaker, this may be a misunderstanding caused by the impact of the body.
Itachi had never thought about the Impure World Reincarnation. He also knew something about this forbidden technique, and the reincarnated person would only be the same as he was before death.
At that time, Quan was not yet fourteen years old, but the one he just saw was clearly about eighteen or nineteen years old.
and so.
Is it an illusion?
Do I miss her too much?
What Uchiha Itachi didn't know was that in a room in the area he had just passed, Uchiha Izumi opened his scarlet Sharingan wide and slammed the kunai in his hand into the table.
Her whole body exuded murderous intent.
"That was a close call. I almost couldn't help but do it."
"I didn't expect to be so unlucky that I met the person I wanted to kill the most in the Land of Lightning."
"Hold on. You must hold back your emotions. You can't let your personal emotions affect Naruto's plan."
Uchiha Izumi decided not to go out for the next period of time, so as to avoid being unable to resist taking action again.
"."
"."
The front line of the Kingdom of Soup.
Konoha camp.
No one in Konoha or the Hidden Cloud Village knew yet that several powerful men with the strength of a Kage had already rushed into the main city of the Land of Lightning and gathered around the Daimyo Prefecture.
There are joys and sorrows in the meeting tent.
Konoha and Kumogakure have been at war for quite some time, and all ninjas, including Hokage and Tsunade, have fought against the Raikage's troops.
Therefore, all of them also understood why the Hidden Cloud Village was so bold and dared to provoke so recklessly.
Once upon a time, during the first generation's era, Konoha could unilaterally ravage the other four villages.
Now, just Yunyin can fight them on equal terms.
No.
It is to suppress them.
From the time the war officially broke out to the present day, Konoha has lost 1,200 ninjas in battle, while the total death toll in the Hidden Cloud Village is estimated to be just over 1,000.
However, this is based on the premise that the opponent's Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has already been dispatched, but our own Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has not yet appeared on the field.
But the situation remains grim.
At this time, Tsunade and more than a dozen senior ninjas were gathered together to discuss tactics.
Suddenly, the slug used to communicate with the village climbed onto Tsunade's shoulder.
"Tsunade-sama!"
"Speak." Tsunade rubbed her aching head.
"The troops from the village who were going to support the village have already set off towards the front line with supplies."
Hearing this, everyone in the tent felt a little relieved, because of Konoha's friendly policy, they did not rob neighboring countries like Kumogakure did.
Therefore, the material reserves were already in a critical situation two days ago. Now, hearing this news, I have calmed down to a great extent.
Tsunade also breathed a sigh of relief. If the supplies didn't arrive, she would have to order her troops to start plundering the Land of Hot Springs in half a month at most.
By then, the credibility of a big country will be completely lost.
The Kingdom of Hot Springs will probably regard Konoha as a bandit like the Kumogakure, and will no longer fight as hard against the Kumogakure as it does now.
"Explain the situation more clearly."
"Hi!" The slug lay on Tsunade's shoulder and told her the current situation in the village.
The temporary leader Sarutobi Hazuki who stayed in the village personally led 5,000 ninjas above the level of Chunin to protect the Genin and civilians in the village.
Because the changes in the Daimyo Prefecture were so serious, she sent five jonin and ten special jonin to lead a thousand people to guard the Daimyo Prefecture, and they set off this morning.
The transportation of this supply was led by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto, and there were about a thousand people, all of whom were very powerful.
Sarutobi Hazuki suggested that they only send them this time, and after arriving, they would stay at the front line to join the battle.
She can just hand over the remaining supplies to him and then assign people to transport them.
Tsunade frowned slightly. She didn't want Naruto to go to the front line to fight.
