Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

Itachi really couldn't understand what was wrong with Ai's brain.

The two sides met for only a few minutes, and he only answered a few questions raised by Ai.

As a result, this guy Ai went crazy and activated the Lightning Chakra mode, rushing over to attack me.

Although he looked like he could die at any moment, only Itachi knew that...

He is in his strongest condition now.

If Itachi had not been afraid of ruining Naruto's future plans, he would have glared to death all of Eren and the Hidden Rain Village ninjas following him.

[The Iron Country is not attacking me, but is attacking me?!

Then I will lead you to the Iron Country, and once we get there I will just disappear... Let's see if you guys will fight against the Iron Country?! 】

As Itachi's thoughts turned, he was getting closer and closer to the wall of the Iron Kingdom, followed by a large number of ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village, led by Ai, who were chasing him.

There was no need for radar to react. Naruto and Uchiha Fugaku who were guarding the city wall saw at a glance the powerful Kumo Village ninjas rushing towards the city wall.

Of course, they also saw Itachi in the front.

"Damn, this rebellious son (bastard) finally showed up!" x2

Naruto and Uchiha Fugaku, who had been standing on the city wall blowing in the cold wind for a day and a night, spoke out angrily.

The two looked at each other, then jumped off the wall and rushed towards Itachi at the same time.

The actions of the two were also noticed by Itachi and the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Ai: "Oh no, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Fugaku are trying to come to the rescue... We must kill Uchiha Itachi before they do!"

The Ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village: "Yes, sir!!!"

The group of reckless men immediately quickened their pace to chase Itachi.

On the other hand, Itachi...

Itachi: (°Д°≡°Д°)? ! !

[Oh no! Why did Naruto bring my dad here?!

I must complete the last step before my father comes, otherwise...】

Seeing Naruto and Uchiha Fugaku getting closer and closer to him, Itachi no longer cared about the mission.

He immediately activated the last level of the "Using One's Body to Forge a Weapon" technique, and in the blink of an eye, he floated in the air.

"Stop it, rebellious son!"

"Itachi, there's a change of plan! Wait a minute!"

Seeing this, Naruto and Uchiha Fugaku immediately shouted to stop it.

Itachi: →_→……

[It seems that my plan has indeed been discovered by my father. The reason why he is here now is probably to stop me, right?

It’s just… I’m sorry, father, this is my own choice…】

"Itachi Uchiha is going to fight to the death... Everyone, join me in attacking him!"

In an instant, all kinds of long-range attack ninjutsu were released from the hands of the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, and rushed towards Itachi like an overwhelming force.

However, Itachi ignored all the ninjutsu that attacked from behind him. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he let out a roar of anger...

boom! ! !

Itachi's body exploded in mid-air.

I don't know whether it was Itachi who blew it up himself or the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village worked together to blow it up.

But the next moment, all the debris in the sky was absorbed by the pair of eyes that were still floating in the air.

Everyone seemed to be in a trance as if a shadow that was extremely similar to Itachi was sucked into those eyes.

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, Ai was sure that Itachi was indeed dead, and died right in front of him.

After Itachi died, all that was left was probably a pair of eyeballs floating in the air...

When the last bit of Itachi's blood and energy left in the world was completely devoured, the pair of eyes floating in the air suddenly shone brightly!

The rich blood color painted the entire sky scarlet, as if it was full of ominousness.

The emergence of this strange situation made the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village terrified and they retreated involuntarily.

As for Naruto and Uchiha Fugaku...

The two men stopped moving forward the moment Itachi exploded in mid-air, and just stared blankly at the blood mist in the air.

At this moment, the world seemed to have become silent.

I do not know how long it has been……

"Itachi!!!"

The heart-wrenching cries of pain from Uchiha Fugaku suddenly rang out.

The Kaleidoscope spun rapidly, and Susanoo rose from the ground.

"I want you to pay with your lives!"

The giant shuriken flew out of his hand, crossed the distance between Uchiha Fugaku and the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village in the blink of an eye, and rushed into the crowd.

Any ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village who came into contact with the shuriken instantly suffered the same fate as Itachi.

"Damn, get out!"

Although Ai was heartbroken when he saw this, he made the right decision at the first moment and led the surviving ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village to quickly retreat in the direction they came from.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Uchiha Fugaku, who had lost his beloved son, controlled Susanoo and chased after him relentlessly.

It seemed that he was venting his anger, or that Uchiha Fugaku attributed Itachi's death to the ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village who attacked him...

In short, Uchiha Fugaku was completely crazy at this moment!

He no longer cared about the horrific consumption of Susanoo, nor did he want to consider Naruto’s crappy plan anymore!

He was chasing the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas closely and his every move was killing, taking away the lives of batch after batch of Hidden Cloud Village ninjas.

"You go first, I will cover your retreat!"

Ai finally couldn't bear to continue watching his ninjas die in vain, so he immediately left the team and rushed towards Uchiha Fugaku.

The fully-powered Ai and Uchiha Fugaku, who was controlling Susanoo with great rage, were evenly matched in a short period of time, and Ai even seemed to be suppressing Susanoo.

This made Ai's confidence, which had been hit hard during this period, slowly recover bit by bit.

It turns out that it wasn't that he, the Fourth Raikage Ai, couldn't keep up with the times, but that the opponents he met before were too advanced!

Looking at the entire ninja world, he, the Fourth Raikage Ai, is still among those standing at the top of the pyramid!

At the same time, a strange idea suddenly came to Ai's mind...

[Perhaps... if I discard some useless burdens, I can become even stronger. ]

It was from this moment on that the Fourth Raikage Ai, who had always put the safety of the villagers of the Hidden Cloud Village first...some of the ideas in his mind were gradually changing.

As for what he meant by "encumbrance"...

……

The blood light in the sky gradually dimmed.

A crow flew over from nowhere, grabbed a pair of eyeballs floating in the air, and flew straight towards Naruto who was standing there.

"Itachi you bastard!

Normally when I ask you to do something for the organization, you always find all kinds of excuses not to go, but now...

Damn, why are you so fast?!

How can I face Quan and your unborn child like this?!"

Tears had already blurred Naruto's vision, and he slowly raised his hand to catch the eyeball under the crow's claws.

He promised Itachi that he would hand over this pair of eyes to Nizhuzi...

"Huh?! Where are you going...you flew over it!"

The crow flew over Naruto's head, gave him an idiotic look, then turned in the air and flew towards the Hidden Rain Village.
