Itachi in Naruto

The front of Konoha vs Kumogakure.

With the death of the Sandaime Raikage, known as the strongest spear and strongest shield, the situation reversed.

The son of the Third Raikage, he succeeded the Fourth Raikage, and also had the title "Ai".

Simultaneously.

The Fourth Ai imprisoned Rabbi Kiri, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, in the Cloud Thunder Gorge.

Fearing that his sworn brother would die as a jinchuriki, the fourth generation of Raiai forbade Kirabi from taking one of these steps.

There is no longer the feared AB combination, nor the invasion of 10000 Iwa Ninja troops.

What Konoha needs to face...

At the end of the road, the last 1000 Iwa ninjas were sent alone to the country of grass, hoping to make a comeback for the Iwagakure village.

The sacrifice of Uchiha Obito and the destruction of Kannabi Bridge dashed the last ambition of Iwagakure Village.

The Great Ninja War... is basically coming to an end.

"I'm afraid... the war will be over in less than half a year at most..."

Itachi thought.

Obviously, the Third Ninja War has entered the stage of stock game.

The remaining ninjas are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or the best of the best.

Small-scale skirmishes became the main method of warfare.

The situation where both sides huff and puff and send thousands of ninjas to their deaths will never happen again.

"With the current situation of the war, the only remaining difficulty is the battlefield of Kirigakure Village."

Uchiha Fugaku stood in the command post.

He pointed at the map and explained.

Everyone present basically understood the situation of the war. Obviously, these words... Uchiha Fugaku was actually explaining it to his son.

Yunyin Village is shrinking.

The plan of Iwagakure Village to invade the Country of Fire through the Country of Grass failed.

Sunagakure Village killed all its people earlier.

Currently...only Kirigakure Village, which is overseas and is known as the "Hometown of Blood Mist", still has a complete establishment.

"Is it a team led by the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen"?

itachi asked.

"That's right..."

Uchiha Fuyue nodded.

"Over there, the Hyuga clan is participating and assisting. Their Byakugan can very well see through the Kirigakure technique commonly used in Kirigakure Village..."

Uchiha Fugaku had a wave of poisonous milk.

But this also let Itachi know two important pieces of information.

1. The formation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is complete, which means that Matt Dai is not dead yet. The final elegy of the Third Ninja World War was when Matt Dai opened the Eight Gate Armor Formation, and with the power of one person, he crippled the seven Ninja Swordsmen. At the same time, it also shattered the ambition of Kirigakure, the last ninja village to participate in the war.

2. The Hyuga clan is currently participating in the front line against Kirigakure, which means... that the Byakugan that should be embedded in "Ao"'s eye socket has not been obtained by him yet. In other words...a certain clan ninja of the Hyuga clan has not received lunch yet.

"Where is the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki?" Itachi asked.

The movements of the two Yumu people are also something that needs attention.

"According to ANBU's intelligence, the second-tailed Jinchuuriki is still only 11 years old and not very mature..."

Uchiha Fugaku replied calmly.

"This news was provided by the "Walking Miko". It is absolutely true and valid..." Uchiha Yashiro smiled, looking confident.

A walking witch?

Itachi murmured in his mind.

This title naturally refers to Yakushi Kabuto's adoptive mother, Yakushi Nonou.

He is also one of the spies with the strongest espionage skills among Naruto.

"It is said that... I learned that there are 1000 ninjas in Iwagakure Village who want to invade the Land of Fire through Kusagakure Village... It was also the information provided by her... It's really amazing characters..."

Uchiha Yashiro expressed his sincere admiration.

After the explanation, Itachi was assigned to the task of guarding.

They say they are on guard, but they are actually standing guard outside the command post.

Itachi came outside and looked carefully at the tall stone building.

Time has not destroyed this historic artifact.

The Uchiha fan pattern shines brightly on it.

This command post, also known as "Uchiha Stronghold", this building already existed here during the Warring States Period.

Of course, what makes it even more famous is...

In the original work, Itachi and Sasuke had a decisive battle here.

Sasuke's Thunder Release Kirin and Orochimaru's Yamata no Orochi completely turned this place into ruins.

The only difference from the original is...

this era.

The surrounding scenery is not covered in forest.

Traces of war litter the area, completely destroying vegetation.

The Uchiha stronghold stood naked on the ground, like an isolated city in the desert.

Even though he was standing guard, Itachi did not give up his training.

Setting up a few targets at random and then throwing them repeatedly is an effective way to kill time.

"Dark blue 84, blue 16..."

After checking the numbers displayed in front of the retina, it was obvious that this body had become stronger after a day of traveling yesterday.

Although it was only an improvement of 2, Itachi was very pleased that this down-to-earth and visible effort was successful.

I heard the dull sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk" hitting the target here.

Uchiha Yashiro and others came over to investigate for a while.

They stood aside, watching Itachi's precise throwing, and couldn't help but nod.

"The basic skills are very solid, and he is worthy of being the captain's son..."

Itachi continued to exercise like this until he was sweating profusely and it was dark when his shift changed.

night.

While eating a big pot of rice, everyone talked about Itachi's efforts.

Itachi knew that his plan had succeeded.

In front of everyone, he successfully portrayed himself as a hard-working person who could only throw shurikens and kunai.

"If you encounter an enemy, Itachi, just hide behind and throw kunai."

Uchiha Yashiro said, when fighting, stay back and leave the front to us.

"Okay, Mr. Yashiro."

Itachi nodded and slowly picked up his bowl of rice.

After a day of standing guard, Itachi discovered...

In the entire Uchiha stronghold, there are actually not only Uchiha ninjas.

Many Konoha ninjas who were ordinary people were also under the control of Uchiha Fugaku.

They came back one after another and set off one after another.

Every day, someone is assigned the task of patrolling the border.

Because the Fire Country is too big to seal off the entire northeastern border, it is commonplace to send people to investigate, search, and then defend against enemies every day.

In the original work.

It was precisely because of this patrol mission that young men Akai, Ebisu, and Shiranui Genma accidentally encountered a big fish...that is, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village. The battle with Matt Dai.

"Yashiro, tomorrow you take Itachi on a mission to patrol the border."

After dinner, Uchiha Fugaku ordered.

Uchiha Yashiro was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

As a confidant of Uchiha Fugaku, the middle-aged Uchiha Yashiro was actually a veteran of two dynasties.

He is much older than Uchiha Fugaku.

When Itachi's grandfather was still alive, he stayed with him.

Later, Uchiha Fugaku served as the captain of the police force, and Uchiha Yashiro became his deputy again.

As the Uchiha clan's combat power is second only to Uchiha Fugaku, there is no doubt about the strength of Uchiha Yashiro who possesses the three Magatama Sharingan.

Itachi speculated based on the original manga that Uchiha Yashiro's combat power was at least 1 card.

That is...

"1 Kakashi".
