Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 218 Kisame: Itachi-san, have I been doing missions all these years by myself?

Chapter 218 Kisame: Itachi-san, have I been doing missions all these years by myself?

However, Sasuke Uchiha's pain was not as intense as that of his historical counterpart, because he knew more. He learned that the one who instigated the Nine-Tails' rampage was a member of the Uchiha clan, and that the Fourth Hokage and his wife had paid the ultimate price for it. Countless people died at the hands of the Nine-Tails on the night of the rampage.

If your death causes immense pain to your entire family, then others will also suffer.

Especially Naruto Uzumaki, the underdog he once looked down upon. He had a stable life as a prince, a life where he could have grown up as the Fourth Hokage's son, but that life was ruined by Kenji Uchiha.

When the village later wiped out the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan could not be said to be completely innocent. After all, they were about to rebel, and the village could not remain indifferent.

Therefore, Sasuke Uchiha's pain and hatred were far less than in the original history. After learning more, his hatred was no longer pure.

He still hated Itachi Uchiha, but he also wanted to know the truth about what happened back then from Itachi, and even had a faint desire that only he himself could know.

He hoped that Itachi Uchiha wasn't that kind of person, that things might be different from what he had initially guessed, that perhaps Itachi had his own reasons. Even though so many years had passed, even though he was certain that his parents were indeed killed by Itachi Uchiha, he still hoped for a sliver of warmth.

Perhaps he can still be the good older brother we remember from our childhood.

Although such expectations seem ridiculous, he really needs this kind of psychological comfort.

In the end, he was just a boy in his early teens.

Regardless of Itachi Uchiha's reasons, there were two people on his kill list: one was Kenji Uchiha, who called himself Madara Uchiha, and the other was Danzo Shimura. If it weren't for these two, things wouldn't have come to this, and the Uchiha clan wouldn't have become like this.

However, he now knows that he is very weak. Neither the elusive Uchiha Kenji nor the powerful Shimura Danzo are people he can currently contend with.

He must become stronger!

Historically, after each major increase in strength, Uchiha Sasuke would show off and then get beaten up, which is known as the "Sunny Day Sasuke Form." However, this was based on the premise that Uchiha Sasuke always thought he was about to become invincible.

Conversely, if he perceives himself to be in a weak position, he will be extremely cautious. For example, in his battle against Itachi Uchiha, he used every means he could prepare.

Although from Itachi Uchiha's perspective, his preparations were actually quite naive. If he really wanted to kill him, there were a hundred ways to do so.

He was doomed if he had just gathered the Akatsuki members to ambush Sasuke Uchiha.

Knowing he was at a disadvantage, Sasuke Uchiha was noticeably calmer.

The three enemies he has currently identified—Kenji Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Danzo Shimura—are all at least Kage-level in strength.

Moreover, he has teammates and subordinates around him, all of whom are Jonin or elite Jonin.

Currently, Sasuke Uchiha's strength is such that he can't even defeat an ordinary Jonin. Considering his future self's situation, he will have to remain in seclusion for at least three more years.

Furthermore, he still needs those Mangekyou Sharingan, but how does he awaken them? Does he really have to kill Naruto Uzumaki? Or does he have to personally finish off Itachi Uchiha?

Sasuke Uchiha didn't know!

Suddenly, just as he was about to close the diary, it was updated again.

Speaking of which, Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu skills were indeed among the best in the world. In terms of genjutsu skills, even without considering the difference in strength, Madara Uchiha could not compare to Itachi Uchiha. Only Shisui Uchiha could be compared to him.

A funny joke: One day in the future, Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly realizes he's under a genjutsu (illusionary technique), so he cautiously asks: "Itachi-san, you didn't leave me to do all the previous missions by myself, did you? Tell me honestly, were you never there for any of the missions?"

Itachi: No, I went when he beat up my brother.

Kisame: That wasn't a mission!

Itachi in the Battle of Asagiri's Homecoming: Hurry up, the opponent is Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, we are no match for him.

Kisame: Itachi-san, even if we join forces, we still can't beat Jiraiya? Is Jiraiya really that strange?

Itachi: You idiot, I'm not saying the two of us can't beat you, I'm saying you can't beat me. My real body didn't even show up!

Inside the Akatsuki organization's base.

Sasori: What does Kisame say to the air all day long, all mysterious and rambling?

Deidara: I don't know, I just saw him shouting something like "Itachi-san" to thin air.

On one occasion, Kisame said: "Itachi-san, tell me the truth, does the Akatsuki organization even exist? Or is it just an excuse you used to trick me into doing a mission, or did the organization never exist at all?"

Itachi: Since you've already seen through me, I won't hide it from you anymore. There's no such thing as a ninja world continent. This is the Age of Exploration, and I'm going to be the Pirate King!

Upon seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Although the whole thing was meant to be funny, Kitahara Kaede didn't hold back in praising Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu skills, even using terms like "top-tier in the ninja world" to describe them.

He then recalled the video from before, where he was many times stronger than he was now, yet even with the Sharingan, he still kept falling into his genjutsu, and in the end, he could only barely break free of it despite his best efforts.

Indeed, aside from the legendary Kotoamatsukami, which is said to be able to alter a person's will, Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu is the most stimulating.

"Hahahaha, this little rascal..."

""

Jiraiya saw the new entries in the diary and couldn't help but burst out laughing; it was just too hilarious.

If that shark-faced guy is really being controlled by the Sharingan, that would be hilarious.

"Hehehe, Kitahara Kaede really likes playing pranks."

Minato Namikaze looked at the new entries in the diary and couldn't help but twitch his lips, but the thought of that scene also gave him a strange sense of amusement.

"It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Itachi Uchiha himself was both amused and exasperated, thinking, "What a joke!"

Kisame Hoshigaki is a Kage-level shinobi, after all. Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan as a backup, he can only influence him temporarily. It's impossible to control him for a long time to do missions. That's a joke.

After all, that's beyond what ordinary illusions can achieve. Unless he uses his precious Kotoamatsukami on Kisame Hoshigaki, there's even less reason for it.

"Sasori, Deidara, are those also names of members of the Akatsuki organization?" After chuckling at the joke, Kakashi Hatake frowned as he noticed the two new names.

Deidara had never heard of the name before, but he seemed to have a vague recollection of Sasori. He racked his brains and suddenly remembered him: a once-famous young powerhouse from Sunagakure.

Sasori's status and reputation in Sunagakure were similar to that of Kakashi Hatake, who rose to fame at a young age. Both were the focus of attention and were entrusted with great expectations.

In particular, his family background is extremely prestigious. He is the grandson of Granny Chiyo, the elder of the Sunagakure advisory group. It can be said that he was born into a prominent family in Sunagakure.

Just like Kakashi Hatake, he was born with a father who was the White Fang of Konoha, so he was born extraordinary.

Furthermore, Konoha's White Fang made his name in a battle against Sunagakure. In that battle, Sunagakure's advisor Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law were killed by their own father. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that they were Sasori's parents.

However, Sasori mysteriously disappeared later, and around the same time, the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure also disappeared. After that, Sunagakure quickly selected the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and declared war on Konoha in the name of Konoha killing the Third Kazekage, which triggered the Third Shinobi World War.

The final result was that Konoha defeated its powerful enemies one by one, forcing them to submit. Among them was Sunagakure, with whom Konoha signed an alliance treaty. Konoha's teacher, the Fourth Hokage, became famous in this battle, made great contributions, and eventually became the Fourth Hokage.

So now I know that Sasori was recruited into the Akatsuki organization?

Kakashi Hatake vaguely sensed something, but he wasn't entirely sure, because he didn't know if his memory was wrong. So he planned to thoroughly investigate the information in Konoha's confidential archives after he came out of seclusion this time.

He cared a lot about the Akatsuki organization, because the Akatsuki organization gave him too much pressure. Even Orochimaru, who was once a member of the Akatsuki, could not suppress him even to the point of mutual destruction, let alone the other members, each one more monstrous than the last.

For example, Kakuzu in the previous video, if he were to fight now, he would be no match for him. He has only just begun his recovery training and has not yet made a breakthrough in his swordsmanship.

Even with a ninjutsu like Lightning Blade, he could only use it six times a day. However, in the video, his strength three years later was clearly much stronger, probably already at the Kage level, or almost there.

For example, he can talk while holding up the Lightning Blade, can easily release the Lightning Blade multiple times, and even use Lightning Release to block Kakuzu's Lightning Release ninjutsu. This is enough to prove that in the video, he has made significant progress in strength three years later.

He doesn't know how he will cultivate three years from now, but he has his own path of cultivation now.

This time, he vowed that three years later, he would become stronger, and he would never allow the Akatsuki leader to wipe out Konoha in one move again.

At the same time, he also pinned his hopes on Kitahara Kaede's diary, hoping that he could reveal more key information. The ninja fight an intelligence war, and that statement is always true.

If he were to encounter Kakuzu again three years later, it would be much easier, because he would have already figured out the information about the immortal duo.

Thinking of that terrifying future, Kakashi Hatake had only one feeling in his mind.

The rain is coming from the wind!
