My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 154: Side Story: When the Cub Traveled to the Shippuden Era 2

On the streets of Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki, both draped in long robes with sun hats covering their faces, had barely reached a consensus with Jiraiya.

Physical persuasion.

It couldn't be helped...

Jiraiya was not in a good mood.

After all, this Uchiha Itachi, wearing the Hokage's robe, had easily broken through his ninjutsu and had clearly described all the toads he could summon.

The Pervy Sage himself was beginning to suspect if Mount Myoboku had other dogs...

Only Kisame Hoshigaki was completely clear on his companion's obsession. He said in a daze, "Mr. Itachi... are you still thinking about Mount Myoboku's summoning contract and Sage Mode? Are you tired of them living for too long?"

Uchiha Itachi reminisced with regret, "After all, it was a youthful obsession. Mount Myoboku is indeed very dedicated..."

Compared to Kitahara, who couldn't even sign a summoning contract, being able to summon a whole mountain of toads at any time like Jiraiya was clearly more popular among ninjas!

Thanks to this, the two sides were finally able to communicate briefly. The outsiders unilaterally obtained some brief intelligence, such as Uchiha Itachi's identity. Every piece of it left Lord Hokage and Kisame Hoshigaki dumbfounded.

Killing his entire clan...

Abusing his younger brother...

Betraying Konoha...

Coveting the Nine-Tails...

This news... must be fake!

Amidst Jiraiya's grave expression and Naruto Uzumaki's occasional outbursts of temper, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki had to accept this fact.

This world, it seems, is not very friendly…

It was also normal for Kisame Hoshigaki to become a rogue ninja of the Mist. After all, in that world, the higher-ups of the Mist also knew he wanted to defect…

However, Uchiha Itachi…

"I really didn't expect that the Mr. Itachi of this world is actually a Konoha S-rank rogue ninja!" Kisame Hoshigaki was still somewhat surprised by what Jiraiya had just said, "What's even more incredible is that when Mr. Itachi defected, he actually didn't choose to destroy Konoha!"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Jiraiya: "..."

Naruto Uzumaki said angrily, "Shark-face, what do you mean! That rogue ninja named Itachi will definitely be killed by Sasuke. Sasuke will definitely complete his revenge!"

"That's impossible..."

The Monster of the Hidden Mist had a calm expression; he had great trust in his companion, "No one can defeat Mr. Itachi, not even the legendary Sage of Six Paths!"

"Don't say that, Kisame..." The first Uchiha Hokage was a little uncomfortable with Kisame Hoshigaki's praise, "That's because my ancestor only has chakra remaining in this world, and the me of this world is not that strong."

"The Sage of Six Paths is just a legend!"

Naruto Uzumaki muttered a sentence but then said no more. After all, he had been easily captured, and even the Pervy Sage couldn't last more than a few moves against Uchiha Itachi.

Jiraiya propped up his chin in thought. He was still thinking about Uchiha Itachi's way of addressing him, thinking of the scene where the him of the other world rubbed Uchiha Itachi on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Is the me of that world very strong?"

"Teacher is indeed very strong..." Uchiha Itachi said seriously.

"Yeah..."

Kisame Hoshigaki still praised the white-haired old man when he mentioned him, "In that ninja world, more than half of the strong are Lord Jiraiya's disciples."

"Eh? Pervy Sage is that amazing?" Naruto Uzumaki looked doubtfully at the somewhat smug Jiraiya, his face falling, "But he didn't last very long!"

"Hmm, Lord Jiraiya is very good at teaching disciples."

Kisame Hoshigaki thought for a moment, then continued, "In our ninja world, for a child to be accepted as Lord Jiraiya's disciple is the hope of all parents. The weakest among them, Konan, could destroy the Konoha before us!"

"The Konan of that world... is she still alive?" Jiraiya's face was filled with loss, momentarily forgetting to ask how strong he could become.

"So he's only suitable to be a teacher..." Naruto Uzumaki pouted and waved his fist, "Why do you always talk about destroying Konoha, shark-face!"

Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled lightly, "Because Mr. Itachi has defected! Isn't this a very dangerous place for him?"

"Kisame, don't say that. Perhaps the me of this world is indeed a person obsessed with power!" Uchiha Itachi frowned, pondering the news he had learned.

Killing all his clan members, including his parents…

Yet he left only Uchiha Sasuke…

Joining the Akatsuki, collecting Tailed Beasts…

Things were already very clear. The Uchiha Itachi of this world, in order to achieve the Six Paths of ruthlessness and heartlessness, had kept his younger brother alive in order to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Once he possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, he would find a way to advance to the Rinnegan, gather the Tailed Beasts to become the Ten-Tails, and become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki!

"It seems the Itachi of this world has walked a completely different path from me... He should be the mastermind behind the Akatsuki." Uchiha Itachi's face didn't look very good.

Kisame Hoshigaki was extremely convinced of his judgment, "Is it really so?"

The most genius Uchiha in the history of the ninja world. Kisame Hoshigaki knew the weight of this sentence, as it was acknowledged by the ancestor of the Kekkei Genkai himself.

At the same time, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Uchiha Itachi, also possessed outstanding intelligence analysis and reasoning abilities, especially on the battlefield. He could always easily grasp the enemy's weakness, no matter who the enemy was.

Naruto Uzumaki puffed out his cheeks and said curiously, "How strange. They clearly look the same, yet one Itachi became a rogue ninja for power, while the other became the village's Fifth Hokage."

"Yeah, they clearly look the same. One Naruto Uzumaki has already become a Hokage's guard and has even been entrusted with high hopes by Mr. Itachi, with a high probability of becoming the Sixth Hokage."

Kisame Hoshigaki stepped forward and patted the yellow-haired youth's shoulder, laughing lowly, "The other Naruto Uzumaki is still just a Genin!"

"Shut up, shark-face!" The blonde youth was furious.

Jiraiya looked at the somewhat worried Uchiha Itachi and curiously stepped forward quickly, "Is something on your mind? Don't worry about your identity issues; Tsunade will solve them."

"That's good. Before the truth is clarified, I don't want to destroy this village either."

Uchiha Itachi didn't mind that his words made the Pervy Sage beside him choke. He looked up at the azure sky, "I'm just worried, I don't know what the Kitahara of this world is thinking..."

"Eh?"

Hearing Itachi's words, Kisame couldn't help but scratch his head, "I almost forgot! Lord Kitahara is a big trouble! They said the rogue ninja has used crow clones, which means Lord Kitahara must be by his side."

"Let's take it one step at a time!"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head and glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, "If it really comes to it, I can only find a way to snatch the Ten-Tails and see if I can deal with the Kitahara of this world."

Kisame Hoshigaki was rather relaxed, "If it's really too much trouble, we can also find a way to research space-time ninjutsu and leave this world!"

"Mm."

Uchiha Itachi nodded with a grave expression.

"Wait, the Kitahara you're talking about, is he that scary?" Jiraiya's expression was a bit off. He had no idea what Kitahara was, but for an existence that even this Hokage Itachi said he couldn't solve…

"Mr. Itachi should be the person who understands Kitahara the most, but..." Kisame Hoshigaki thought for a moment and recalled, "Even just some partial impressions are enough to make one feel fear."

"Eh?"

Naruto Uzumaki also couldn't help but look at the Hokage robe curiously, scratching the back of his head, "Is he stronger than the Kage of the Five Great Nations?"

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki forced his expression to remain straight, trying his best not to argue with a ninja world novice, and snapped his fingers, "It destroying Konoha is as simple as me snapping my fingers..."

"I'm telling you! Can you stop talking about destroying Konoha!" Naruto Uzumaki held his head in despair, "I'm under a lot of pressure..."

"Naruto, shut up!"

Jiraiya coldly stopped Naruto and looked at the shark-faced man sincerely, "Please continue. To be able to destroy Konoha with one move, even a Tailed Beast Bomb shouldn't be able to do that, right? Is there any weakness?"

"There is, but before the truth is clear, I won't tell you its weakness, although it might be useless in this world anyway…"

Kisame Hoshigaki was very rational. He only revealed information that could be told, "Kitahara's chakra is bottomless. Even Samehada, which can absorb Tailed Beast chakra, feels fear when facing it."

"Its most commonly used technique is the Tailed Beast Bomb... Oh, we generally call it the Peace Tailed Beast Bomb. Just one is enough to destroy a ninja village of one of the Five Great Nations."

Kisame clenched his fist and continued, "It can use this Tailed Beast Bomb as easily as we breathe. Apart from Mr. Itachi, no one can stop it."

The Hokage in the robe reminded from the side, "Even with insufficient intelligence, based on my speculation, the Kitahara of this world should not have reached its peak power yet."

"Can we capture it first? To prevent the situation from getting out of control!"

"Unless you ambush it beforehand, it's absolutely impossible." Uchiha Itachi shook his head and helplessly spread his hands, "It knows the Flying Thunder God Technique. I think Lord... Jiraiya should understand what I mean."

Naruto Uzumaki asked doubtfully, "Flying Thunder God Technique, what's that?"

Jiraiya helplessly rubbed his face, "Since that rogue ninja has such a powerful fighting force, why hasn't he implemented his plan yet?"

He so wished the scene before him was a dream... so wished the two guys before him were fake, that what they said was fake, that all of this was Akatsuki's conspiracy…

The Hokage in the robe thought for a moment, then still spoke up, "Because Sasuke hasn't awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan yet... I have to say, the Sasuke of this world doesn't have that much pressure, so he hasn't been training that hard..."

"Uchiha Sasuke has to avenge his entire clan, and you say he doesn't have much pressure?" Jiraiya was stunned to hear this. Are you speaking human words?

Uchiha Itachi had to nod in apology, "Sorry, I..."

"Compared to chasing Mr. Itachi and challenging Kitahara, revenge is probably simpler!"

Kisame Hoshigaki thought of the tear-jerking growth path of the little cub in the other world and suppressed his laughter, "But there's a more important reason, right? He lacks Mr. Itachi's guidance."

"Although I don't quite understand, but!" Naruto Uzumaki was full of vigor and pointed out the key point, "Before Sasuke gets that whatever Mangekyo Sharingan, we have to bring him back to Konoha, right!"

Uchiha Itachi nodded, "Yes."

Kisame Hoshigaki was much more straightforward in comparison, "If capturing that little brat is too much trouble, we can just dig out his eyes! That's more convenient!"

"...Kisame!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that! Mr. Itachi... Everyone knows Sasuke's personality..." Kisame Hoshigaki helplessly spread his hands, "Haku and Zabuza have a lot to say on this point..."
