Naruto: I can synthesize psychic beasts

The land of thunder.

A quiet town on the border.

In an izakaya.

A tall and sturdy man, wearing a black windbreaker with a black background and a red cloud pattern, and a grass-colored bamboo hat on his head.

After he entered the shop, he walked straight to a corner.

A handsome young man, also wearing the same uniform, was holding up a wine glass and quietly sipping the specialty high-strength wine here with gentle movements of his fingertips.

The unique taste, spicy first and then sweet, made him close his eyes and indulge in the throat-burning pleasure.

It seems like this can temporarily suppress the pain of lovesickness in my heart...

The burly man took off the hat on his head, revealing a face with gills like a shark.

He walked to sit opposite the young man and complained.

"Itachi, you came at the wrong time. The organization is getting busy now. It was always idle before!"

"Ah."

Kisame didn't take it seriously either, knowing that the other party had such a cold temper.

After getting along with each other for a month, he has gained a great understanding of his new teammates.

He considers himself to be very strong, but he is always at a disadvantage when facing Itachi!

He is good at water escape and taijutsu combat with Samehada.

But Itachi was different.

He is strong in all aspects!

Let’s not talk about ninjutsu. Genjutsu alone is enough to make Kisame extremely afraid.

Coupled with Itachi's inadvertent display of super high IQ, rough and tough temperament, Kisame finally felt truly recognized for this teammate who was twelve years younger than him.

Itachi raised his head and drank a sip of strong wine, with an expression of pain and enjoyment on his face. For a moment, his expression actually seemed to be in a trance. "Itachi, tell me, what is the meaning of life?"

With cold eyes, he glanced at the melancholy Kisame opposite.

Itachi picked up the glass and took a sip. "The meaning of living? Isn't it just living?"

Kisame was startled, the chaos in his eyes lessened a little, and he looked at Itachi.

Perhaps because he drank the wine too quickly, his shark face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"But why do I feel like I can't find the meaning of living anymore?"

Before his defection, he was a ninja who valued his mission more than his life. For his own village, walking in the darkness, performing some unknown and bloody tasks.

When the Kirigakure faction struggle was at its most intense, he would often have no choice but to kill his companions who were performing missions together.

But even though the ninja who puts his mission first, he was eventually suspected and had to betray Kirigakure Village...

Until then.

Itachi took a slightly serious look at Kisame.

He had more or less knowledge of this teammate's personal experience.

But what he found a little funny was that even though he was a round older than him, Kisame was more like a confused traveler than him.

After thinking about it, Itachi felt good about this pure guy.

He put down his wine glass and looked at Kisame with clear eyes filled with wisdom that did not suit his age.

"Anyone who has done something harmful to the world will not end well. Everyone can only see themselves clearly when they are dying. Kisame, when you can't find the meaning of your life, you will truly It’s time for unfettered freedom, isn’t it?”

"Everyone can only see himself clearly when he is dying..."

"When you can't find the meaning of your life, that's when true unfettered freedom comes..."

Kisame murmured to himself, his face gradually shaking.

He looked at Itachi with burning eyes, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

Itachi just said two simple words, and once again looked at it from another angle besides strength. Impress Kisame! After betraying the Blood Mist, the confusion that had always accompanied him in his life was swept away!

"It turns out...people can live only for themselves..."

He suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully to Itachi at a ninety-degree angle.

"I understand, Mr. Itachi!"

"Ah."
