Temporary Hokage

Chapter 73 When Konoha became a tourist spot.

Before dawn.

It was drizzling lightly in the morning Konoha.

It wasn’t until around seven or eight that the rain finally stopped.

Sun rise.

The warm sun shines on the earth and makes people feel very comfortable and comfortable.

It’s just that some people are obviously not feeling well.

On the high wall of Konoha, stood two people, they were wearing coats with red clouds on a black background and hats, overlooking the entire Konoha.

“Hey, Mr. Itachi, is this your hometown?”

One of them, a taller man with a large sword wrapped in white bandages on his back, sighed in a hoarse voice~.

Needless to say.

It was the duo of Uchiha Itachi- and Hoshigaki Kisame who came.

“It doesn’t look like the situation is good. Although Orochimaru’s strength is not very good, he is quite capable of conspiracy and sabotage.”

“Yeah, the originally prosperous village… how pitiful.”

Uchiha Itachi said so, but he could not feel the slightest pity in his calm and indifferent tone.

“It’s really not like your style, Mr. Itachi… Sure enough, even if it was you, you would still be nostalgic for your hometown, right?”

“Maybe.”

Uchiha Itachi said lightly, and he raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of scarlet Sharingans.

Hoshigaki Kisame, who heard the words, chuckled lightly.

“Although you said that, Mr. Itachi, I don’t believe it at all, after all, you are the…”

“If it doesn’t make sense, don’t say it and start the mission.”

Uchiha Itachi interrupted Hoshigaki Kisame.

Hoshigaki Kisame didn’t say much, just kept his mouth shut.

He is not a fool.

He knows that Uchiha Itachi’s mood must be very complicated now, and it is better not to stimulate him now.

Exactly as Hoshigaki Kisame guessed.

Uchiha Itachi’s mood is very complicated now.

At the meeting organized by Akatsuki, Uchiha Itachi has been worried about Sasuke’s safety after learning from Nagato that Orochimaru and Sand Shinobi attacked Konoha.

Akatsuki, who received the news of Konoha’s heavy damage, actually didn’t plan to do it.

Because catching tailed beasts must be done in order.

And if they attack Nine Tails Jinchūriki in advance, other Shinobi villages will definitely increase their protection of Jinchūriki when they receive the news, and they will also be vigilant against the Akatsuki organization, which will hinder subsequent arrests.

So Nagato didn’t plan to take on Nine Tails Jinchūriki so early.

But Uchiha Itachi convinced him.

After all, even if you don’t plan to arrest Nine Tails now, you can take the opportunity to investigate Jinchūriki’s information, which will facilitate the arrest of Nine Tails in the future.

Nine Tails is the strongest among the tailed beasts, and it would be much more convenient if information could be obtained in advance.

Thinking so, Nagato finally agreed to Uchiha Itachi’s suggestion and sent him and Hoshigaki Kisame to Konoha to investigate Jinchūriki’s intelligence.

Actually this is just an excuse for Uchiha Itachi.

His real purpose is actually for Sasuke.

First, he used himself as a signal to warn Konoha’s executives, especially Danzo.

– I’m still alive, don’t forget our agreement to protect Sasuke.

Second, it is also to stimulate Sasuke to become stronger as soon as possible.

— Uchiha Itachi, who was infected with an incurable blood disease, could not live much longer.

His health is so bad that he doesn’t know how long he can live.

Maybe a year.

Maybe three years.

In any case, it is certain that this time will not be too long.

So Uchiha Itachi wanted to stimulate Sasuke, make him hate himself even more, and become stronger.

Because negative emotions will make Sharingan’s pupil strength stronger.

In this way, Sasuke has the power to protect himself even if he dies.

Uchiha Itachi thought so.

It’s just that Uchiha Itachi would never have thought that Sasuke now has the power to protect himself.

Not even Killer Bee could kill Sasuke.

then.

The two S-rank rebels just swaggered down the streets of Konoha.

With Uchiha Itachi’s illusions opening the way, no one can discover them.

Then, led by Uchiha Itachi, the two came to a meatball shop.

Because it’s still early.

There are no customers in the store.

Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame sat around the table and ordered desserts and tea.

Wait for the balls to arrive.

The old god Uchiha Itachi picked up a bunch of balls on the ground and bit them, closed his eyes and chewed in his mouth, as if he was aftertastes something.

A slightly mature face, deep eyes, slender black eyelashes, beating gently.

Calculate the time.

I haven’t returned to this village for about five years.

Not sure how Sasuke is doing.

“Mr. Itachi, the meatballs taste really good, and the tea is also good, no wonder so many people want to settle down in Konoha… However, after looking at it all the way, it seems that I haven’t seen many ninjas in Konoha, and listening to the conversations of the villagers, Konoha now seems to be Temporary Hokage a guy named ‘Mike’, whose reputation is not low, do you know this person, Mr. Itachi?”

Hoshigaki Kisame took a sip of tea and asked.

“No impression. Kisame, we’re not here to start a war. Don’t get too excited about things other than the mission. Once Konoha’s attention is drawn, it will be troublesome.”

“Even if they are attracted, so what? After all, even the Orochimaru guy can kill Konoha’s Hokage in public. I think there is no strong Konoha in the current Konoha.”

Hearing this, Hoshigaki Kisame said nonchalantly.

at this time.

A person appeared at the door of the meatball shop.

With silver hair, the mask covers half of his face, the ninja forehead protector covers his left eye, and lazily hugs his chest and leans against the pillar at the door.

It is Kakashi.

It’s different from passing here by chance in the original book.

Kakashi waited here on purpose.

“Sure enough, it came as the Temporary Hokage said…”

At this time, out of the corner of Kakashi’s eyes, he noticed two uninvited guests in the meatball shop.

Especially Kisame’s body shape, in this not open store, it seems very inconsistent.

And the coat with red clouds on a black background.

Kakashi identified the two on the spot.

Mike mentioned it to him before.

Now in the secret world of ninja, there is actually a mysterious organization named “Akatsuki”.

Aside from the peripheral members, there are only nine core members.

Although there are not many people, everyone is extremely powerful.

If the nine people join forces to form a group, it will be easy to overthrow any of the five major Ninja villages.

From the hands of large and small countries, they take over tasks that are inconvenient for their own countries, and engage in mercenary activities.

From this point of view, there is no good or evil.

Whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, as long as you can afford it, take it.

The question arises about the identities of these nine people.

Most of them are traitors who have defected from various countries and have a splendid reputation.

Among them was Uchiha Itachi, who killed all the Uchiha clan with his own hands.

There is also Sannin Orochimaru who launched the Konoha attack, but the latter quit Akatsuki several years ago.

“Judging from this size and that big sword, these two should be Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame…”

Kakashi’s eyes were dignified and he didn’t dare to be careless.

Although Kakashi’s strength is now different from before, but if he takes it lightly, such a person will not live long.

While Kakashi noticed Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.

Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame naturally also noticed Kakashi.

“Oh? Mr. Itachi, it seems that Konoha is not as bad as I thought, and I discovered it so quickly.”

Hoshigaki Kisame laughed and put down half of his tea.

“You two are not Konoha, what’s the purpose of sneaking into Konoha?”

Kakashi stepped forward and asked.

“Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi… If you can, let me go, I don’t want to kill you.”

Uchiha Itachi stopped what he was doing and said without moving his head.

“Oh? He’s Copy Ninja Kakashi? It seems worth fighting!”

Hearing Uchiha Itachi reveal the identity of Kakashi, Hoshigaki Kisame suddenly said, and then pulled out Samehada and said eagerly.

“Don’t be rude, Kisame.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Itachi.”

With Uchiha Itachi’s acquiescence, Hoshigaki Kisame grinned, raised Samehada in his hand and slashed towards Kakashi.

But considering Samehada’s shape, and Hoshigaki Kisame’s power.

This blow is not so much a cut.

It would be more appropriate to say smashing.

Kakashi is not a power-type player, and naturally would not choose to face hard steel with Hoshigaki Kisame.

Using his flexible movement, he kept dodging.

As the master of Bankai’s “Shinigami”, it is obviously impossible to master the four basic combat skills of slashing fists and walking ghosts.

Kakashi easily dodged Hoshigaki Kisame’s attack by relying on Shunpo.

After chasing it several times, he didn’t even touch Kakashi’s clothes.

This made Hoshigaki Kisame a little angry.

“Mr. Itachi, can I use those spells? This guy is too evasive and a little troublesome.”

Hoshigaki Kisame is not good at swords, he is good at Water Style ninjutsu, he has amazing Chakra in his body, known as “tailless beast”

Facing a flexible opponent like Kakashi, he prefers to use a wide range of Water Style ninjutsu to limit the opponent’s movement.

“No, your movements are too loud, and you will attract more reinforcements.” Uchiha Itachi shook his head, “Why don’t you do it for me.”

“Then forget it.”

Hoshigaki Kisame shook his head, finally finding an opponent, he didn’t want to let this opportunity go.

If you can’t use a wide range of Water Style ninjutsu, you don’t have to.

“Water Style·Water Body Technique!”

Hoshigaki Kisame quickly formed the seal, separated four water bodies, and arranged four corners to surround Kakashi’s path.

The main body is standing outside the encirclement while carrying Samehada.

“Water Style·Water Shark Technique!”

Then the four water bodies released ninjutsu at the same time.

Four shark-shaped water bombs bit Kakashi in unison.

This scene made Kakashi envious.

Can Chakra use ninjutsu so willfully?

“Gonryōmaru!

Kakashi summoned his own Zanpakutō without hesitation as the four water shark bullets came over.

With a flash of lightning.

Four water shark bullets were chopped up at the same time.

And the castration went straight to Hoshigaki Kisame.

“what?”

This scene surprised Hoshigaki Kisame for a moment.

Ding!

next moment.

A fistful of kunai comes from behind Hoshigaki Kisame.

The target is the heart of Kakashi.

Seeing this, Kakashi had to change his attack path to avoid Kunai.

It also gave Hoshigaki Kisame time to react.

“Kisame, you are still careless.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Itachi. I didn’t expect him to pull a sword out of nowhere.”

Hoshigaki Kisame said with some annoyance.

“Master, time and space ninjutsu, as expected of a copy ninja Kakashi.”

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi gave Kakashi a deep look.

If it weren’t for the fact that he kept the Sharingan on, it would have been difficult to capture the speed of Kakashi’s sudden burst.

But it’s just that.

Not out of control yet.

“Mr. Kakashi, if you can, can you leave us alone? I don’t want to kill you.”

“That’s not like what you would say when you killed your own people, Uchiha Itachi.”

Hearing this, Kakashi shrugged and didn’t answer.

In fact, with the strength of Kakashi today.

It’s not that difficult to take down Kisame and Uchiha Itachi.

It’s just that Mike specifically explained to him beforehand.

Notify him as soon as Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame are found.

Although Kakashi didn’t know what Mike’s plans were, he agreed.

So his purpose is very simple.

No need to beat Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.

Just hold them off until Mike arrives.

“Let me tell you, Mr. Itachi, why don’t we just make a big fuss?”

“It’s useless, this is Konoha’s base camp, and there will be people coming to support him in the future. Even if we win him, it doesn’t make sense.”

Hearing Hoshigaki Kisame’s words, Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

His purpose has been achieved.

——The fact that he was still alive to the senior officials of Konoha.

All that’s left is to find Sasuke to stimulate him.

There is no need to stay here any longer.

“Then, Mr. Kakashi, goodbye.”

“Cut… all right.” The excited Hoshigaki Kisame could only give up, then stared at Kakashi, “Copy ninja Kakashi, I remember you, let’s have a fight next time! Water Style·Water Shark Ball Technique!”

Hoshigaki Kisame seal, two water shark shells wrapped around Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, and then jumped into the water Water Style left.

But right now.

“When Konoha became a tourist spot, where you can come and go, when you want?”

An indescribable pressure fell from the sky.

Sudden cardiac arrest for both Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi.

The shark shells that lost control also dissipated.
