Black Hoe Lei Ya walked peacefully.

…

Facing the charge launched by Black Hoe Raiga, Kakuzu only dodged slightly, allowing Black Hoe Raiga's ninja sword to chop off both of his arms.

"Win!" After successfully cutting off Kakuzu's arms, Black Hoe Lei Ya instantly showed a look of surprise.

For ninjas, arms are so important. Without arms, how can you form seals and how can you release ninjutsu?

However, Black Hoe Raiya still knew too little about Kakuzu. Let alone cutting off his arms, even if his legs and feet were cut off, Kakuzu could still continue to fight.

Phew!

Just when Black Hoe Lei Ya thought that this difficult battle would end with the weak defeating the strong, something unexpected happened to him.

A large number of black tentacles sprang out from the broken arm of Kakuzu, quickly tied up the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, and then slammed it to the ground with a loud bang.

"Thunder Release: False Darkness!" The Thunder Release mask on Kakuzu's shoulder took advantage of the situation and spit out a powerful thunder spear.

The crackling sound of electricity resounded in this uninhabited forest, and the thunder gun with powerful penetrating power instantly penetrated Black Hoe Lei Ya's chest, creating a black and bloody hole.

"How could it be..." Black Hoe Lei Ya looked at Kakuto with a look of reluctance, obviously he was almost gaining the advantage, why would it become like this?

But it was obvious that Jiaodu was not a person who liked defecting and had many defeated enemies. He quickly sent Black Hoe Leiya away and then bumped into the bag.

Immediately afterwards, Kakuzu randomly found a village and forced the villagers to help him sew his arms, and then went to the nearest underground gold exchange to exchange the Black Hoe Thunder Fang for his favorite money before leaving.

After converting Black Hoe Raiga into money, Kakuzu showed a rare smile. He suddenly felt that Black Hoe Raiga's rebellion was nothing.

‘I hope the new recruits will be worth more money.’ Kakuzu thought to himself.

The Akatsuki organization currently operates in teams of two. If the team members are not adjusted, the newcomer will definitely work with him.

……………………

Weasel has been in this northern town for a week.

In these days, like an ordinary tourist, he visited some of the most famous places in this small town.

But he encountered a trouble these days. He was entangled by a noble girl.

That noble girl was the daughter of a noble in this town, and she met Itachi by chance when he was observing the town.

"Miss Shijo, please don't follow me anymore." Itachi said helplessly.

This noble lady named Shijo Kaori has been following him and has had a great impact on his observation plan.

A girl in gorgeous clothes was accompanied by a few guards and a ninja. It looked a bit strange and made people curious. How could he observe quietly when he was so eye-catching?

At first, Itachi had put on the coldest attitude. He thought that this would be able to persuade this curious young lady who was passing by to retreat. However, he did not expect to be treated by Itachi with such a cold attitude. Kaori Shijo did not retreat and even exploded even stronger.

of enthusiasm.

Itachi even felt that Shijo Kaori's eyes were shining brightly.

"But I'm just walking on the same road as Itachi. Does Itachi think that everyone on this road is following you? He's so narcissistic, but he's also very handsome." Shijo Kaori opened her folding fan and covered her face softly.

laugh.

Itachi:……

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

If it was about issues such as peace, war, and the meaning of human existence, Itachi had a lot of things to say to Kaori Shijo.

But when Kaori Shijo said this, he really didn't know what to say to make the other party give up following him.

Itachi sighed. Since Shijo Kaori was always following him and he was unable to conduct normal observations, he would go back to the hotel to rest for a while and finish his lunch before continuing his observations.

After all, the hotel is not a main road, so there should be no reason for it by then.

But Itachi, an eight-year-old child, still underestimated the darkness in society.

Shijo Kaori still followed in brazenly.

Faced with Itachi's question, Shijo Kaori's answer was almost the same as before.

"Is this hotel owned by Itachi? Or is it reserved by Itachi?" Shijo Kaori asked.

"No..." Where did Itachi get the spare money to buy a hotel, so he could only deny it.

"That's it, I can also come in as a guest." Kaori Shijo said with a smile.

Itachi suddenly understood a truth: as long as you are thick-skinned enough, there is nothing that does not make sense, and you can force it on you.

Itachi was a little worried about Shijo Kaori's entanglement. He didn't know what Shijo Kaori wanted.

He behaved so coldly and had such a bad attitude. Shouldn't a normal person have left unhappy because of this attitude?

What Itachi didn't know was that there was a kind of ungrateful person out there, and they might not be happy to treat them well. What they liked the most was the "cold" handsome guy who didn't give you a good look.

Although I can't say that Shijo Kaori is exactly that kind of person, she is pretty much the same.

Since she was a child, people around her have respected her because of her status, which made Kaori Shijo feel indifferent to those licking dogs who would only use some words that she was tired of hearing to praise her.

This time while shopping out of boredom, she met a handsome guy who was good-looking but didn't like her. Of course she became interested.

Moreover, this handsome guy was still a Konoha ninja, so she was even more interested.

Although ninjas are not too unusual characters for nobles, the Konoha ninjas are different.

For people like them who live far away from Konoha, Konoha ninjas are still rare.

"If you can tell me the story of your Konoha ninja's experiences when doing missions, I won't follow you today." Seeing Itachi's helpless expression, Shijo Kaori suggested.

Itachi was speechless, it was okay to just admit it to himself now.

However, Itachi didn't speak, as if he silently rejected Shijo Kaori's proposal.

Because Itachi himself has never gone out on a mission, how can he tell Kaori Shijo about his mission experience?

Their special operations squad couldn't do missions at all unless they became official members, and after becoming a formal member, he immediately left the village to travel.

Shijo Kaori thought for a while and thought it was some kind of secret that was not allowed to be disclosed, so she changed her request.

"I'm going to go hunting tomorrow, and you will be my guard. How about this?" Shijo Kaori suggested.

Itachi looked thoughtful. If he could get rid of the entanglement by sacrificing a day, that would be good.

But based on Shijo Kaori's performance, he felt that the other party might be backhanded. As we all know, she, a noble lady, never keeps her promises.

"I'm not hiring you for nothing, I will pay you. Don't you Konoha ninjas all do tasks? Just treat it as accepting a task." Kaori Shijo said with a smile.

Itachi thought for a while and finally nodded. Since he was paid, it would be different. If Kaori Shijo came to bother him again, he would pack up his things overnight and rush to the capital in advance.

Although Itachi doesn't want to be as flexible as some people, he is not a very rigid person either. He must observe enough here before leaving.

Since normal observation is impossible, then leave quickly.

After seeing Kaori Shijo leave, a white figure also sank into the ground, preparing to report the situation to Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu's original plan was to detonate the conflict between Itachi and the Shijo family, and take over the Shijo family to eliminate Konoha.

During Hei Zetsu's investigation, he unexpectedly discovered that although this town was not a big city, the Shijo family had some background.

The Shijo family was once a famous noble in the Land of Fire, but after some things happened and they were on the wrong side, they fell into decline.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although it has declined, the Shijo family still has some strength, which is enough to deal with Itachi, a child under ten years old.

As for how to detonate conflicts, this Black Zetsu is really good at it.

He carefully analyzed Itachi's character and confirmed that Itachi was the kind of "just person" who would mind his own business.

As long as he lets Itachi see the Shijo family oppressing civilians, conflicts will naturally break out between the two.

From Itachi's point of view, he just did something he wanted to do. As for the nobles, is there any greater power in the Land of Fire than Konoha?

From the perspective of the Shijo family, he is just an unknown Konoha ninja. Naturally, they are not afraid of him on their own territory.

If any Sannin comes, they will of course pretend to be grandsons. An unknown young ninja has nothing to be afraid of.

But the plan is not said to be done, it takes time to lay out, so Black Zetsu ordered White Zetsu to keep an eye on Itachi and report if anything happens that may affect the plan.

Now that the Shijo family had contact with Itachi in advance, and it was suspected to be benign, Bai Zetsu must of course report it.

At this time, Black Zetsu also finished handling the affairs of the Akatsuki organization. After listening to White Zetsu's report, Black Zetsu fell into thinking.

According to his thousands of years of experience, Kaori Shijo probably fell in love with Itachi Uchiha.

Although Itachi is still an eight-year-old kid, he used the transformation technique and now looks like a normal young ninja.

In this case, although the plan is not impossible to continue, the probability of failure is greatly increased. Maybe as soon as Shijo Kaori pleads for mercy, the conflict will disappear at the smallest stage and will not continue to become serious enough for both parties to take action.

Hei Jue felt that he needed to adjust his plan.

Although there was an accident, Hei Jue did not have any negative emotions.

In order to free his mother for thousands of years, he has made countless plans in secret. It is common for plans to have accidents.

The more complex the plan, the more likely it is that accidents will occur, and he has long been accustomed to dealing with these emergencies.

Moreover, Hei Jue did not think this accident was a bad thing.

Next, not only will he not hinder the two of them, but he will secretly add fuel to the fire and make their relationship grow.

Then the "accident" happens.

The Uchiha clan are all emotional people, and he likes this characteristic of Uchiha very much.

…

"This is my newly developed breathing method, called the Breath of the Moon. It is as powerful as the Breath of the Sun. You and Naruto will have separate classes for the time being." Nagaze said to Sasuke.

After completely completing Breath of the Moon, he prepared to hand it over directly to Sasuke without wasting time.

Naruto was already a lot ahead of Sasuke, and if he delayed Sasuke any longer, he might break apart, and being thrown away by Naruto was the hardest thing for him to accept.

Considering that the two of them are too young and easily influenced, if they were taught together, it would be bad if they failed to practice skewers. This thing is not popular.

For the sake of fairness, Nagaze didn't have one shadow clone and one body teacher. He divided two shadow clones and taught one shadow clone.

The main body runs on both sides, because Sasuke has just started practicing Breath of the Moon, so he should stay a little longer with Sasuke in the early stages.

"I know, I will practice the Breath of the Moon well." Sasuke said with joy on his face.

During the time when Nagazawa developed Breath of the Moon, Sasuke was unable to practice breathing techniques and could only do some basic exercises.

But how could those basic training compare to breathing techniques? Sasuke felt uncomfortable watching Naruto become more and more proficient in sun breathing every day.

Watching Naruto become stronger was even more uncomfortable than him not being able to practice.

"Hmph, Sasuke, just watch my back and catch up. I'll be waiting for you in front." Naruto said proudly.

Even though the breath of the moon is as strong as the breath of the sun, he is now much ahead of the curve, taking one step at a time. Sasuke is still the teacher's number one under Naruto.

"Naruto, don't be proud. I will catch up with you soon. Don't cry sadly when the time comes." With the new breathing method, Sasuke instantly felt that he could do it.

Looking at the two people who had such a close relationship, Nagaze nodded. They were indeed good brothers who had been in love with each other for who knows how many years. Their feelings were engraved in chakra.

"Okay, you are very energetic. Let's have a competition in three months. The loser will have to wear a small skirt." Nagaze applauded.

Naruto and Sasuke were stunned. Speaking of small skirts, they remembered the horror of being dominated by their mothers in the women's clothing store.

"Then what's the reward for winning?" Naruto asked excitedly, raising his hands.

He originally practiced the breathing method before Sasuke. Although it was just a simple practice at that time, he was still ahead. Later, Sasuke practiced the Breath of the Sun for a period of time in vain, and now he started practicing the Breath of the Moon.

How could Sasuke like this be his opponent? Uncle Nagazawa was obviously giving him benefits on purpose.

"What's the reward?" Yongze thought for a moment and said, "The reward is that you don't have to wear a small skirt."

"What kind of reward is this?" Naruto's smile froze and he couldn't help complaining. This reward is obviously a fool for children.

"Yes, why is there no need to accept punishment as a reward?" Sasuke also said.

He felt that it was not impossible for him to defeat Naruto. Although Naruto had an advantage now, it was this advantage that would make Naruto proud. It was not impossible for him to secretly train more and overtake him, so he also hoped for a reward.

"Okay then, the reward is a special kunai." Nagaze thought for a while and said.

Since you all want a reward, let’s get one.

"I will definitely defeat you when the time comes, and the reward will be mine." Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and said in unison.

Looking at such a loving and harmonious scene, Yongze couldn't help but smile like an old father.
