Chapter 1112 Comparison

Chapter 1112 Comparison
In the base camp, the five Kage were urgently discussing countermeasures.

The current situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more complicated. In addition to dealing with the Akatsuki organization, the high-profile appearance of "Upper Rank One" has also caused headaches for the Five Kage.

In particular, the elite team that went to destroy the "Upper Rank One" was severely damaged by Itachi alone, which made them both surprised at Itachi's strength and doubted Itachi's position. If Itachi was not on the side of the ninja village coalition, then the secret transmission of intelligence before was worth their deep consideration.

Fortunately, the Akatsuki organization led by 'A' did not jump out to disrupt the situation at this time, which gave them a great deal of comfort in their irritable mood.

However, they also knew that they only had a limited window of time to deal with Nagato.

Because even if the group of 'A' caused an internal conflict because of the rebellion of 'B', no matter how strong 'B' is, it is impossible for one person to fight against the entire organization headed by 'A' for a long time. So once the group of 'A' completes the rebellion, they will most likely join this Ninja World War.

By then, if the coalition of ninja villages has not been able to defeat Nagato and his Akatsuki organization and rescue all the abducted Jinchūriki, they may have to face two Akatsuki organizations.

He has defeated monsters and goblins, repelled the Demon King, defeated Orochimaru, suppressed 'B', and has never been defeated since the appearance of 'A'. He is a top ninja in the world who can be compared to Nagato.

I can't help but shudder at the thought that Nagato and 'A' might join forces and become as powerful as the Five Kage!

Before the five Kage received the battle report about the setback of the elite team, Shinji, who was also in the Rain Country, had already learned what happened in the Earth Country before them.

On top of the tree canopy, Shinji let the drizzle wash over him as he stared in the direction of the Land of Earth, slightly lost in thought.

Because he used 'Naobi' to link Orochimaru, Yakumo, Sasuke, Ryuga, Chino and others at the same time, the so-called strange behaviors of Itachi that puzzled everyone were not strange at all in Shinji's eyes, because they were not the same person at all.

Obvious.

The Uchiha Itachi that Kakashi's elite team first encountered was not the real Uchiha Itachi, but the person that Orochimaru feared the most after the Overlord projected his fear on him.

Therefore, the 'Uchiha Itachi' who performed various Mangekyō eye techniques without restraint was a monster similar to 'Tsugikoku Yoriichi' who caught up with Ubuyashiki Ryuhei in the Demon Slayer world.

The Itachi that the elite team encountered for the second time was the real Itachi.

It's just a bit ironic that no matter whether it was the real Itachi or the fake Itachi, they both had the elite team under their control, causing them to always wander in fear and anxiety. They had no energy to analyze the differences between the two, and even Yakumo only vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But from the perspective of an observer, Shinji saw it clearly.

"Except for the tactics and strategy, they are exactly the same."

In the rain, Shinji sighed secretly.

Initially, he planned to have Orochimaru prepare another trap to get rid of this fake 'Uchiha Itachi' as soon as possible.

But when the fake 'Uchiha Itachi' accidentally encountered Kakashi's elite team, he decided to use the elite team to test the fake 'Uchiha Itachi'.

After all, we cannot be careless about the overlord.

After a fierce battle, the result was as Shinji expected. This fake Uchiha Itachi almost perfectly replicated all of Uchiha Itachi's abilities, even the two artifacts, the "Ten-fist Sword" and the "Yata Mirror", were perfectly copied. If he hadn't known the cause and effect in advance, even Shinji would have found it difficult to tell the difference.

In Shinji's opinion, the only difference between the real and fake Uchiha Itachi is probably tactics and strategy.

This does not mean that there is a tactical difference between the real and fake Uchiha Itachi, but that there is a difference in tactical strategy.

The fake 'Uchiha Itachi' obviously has no limitations on the Mangekyō pupil power. As long as he sees fit, he can freely use any Mangekyō pupil technique he has mastered, so his tactics are more reasonable and sharper, which is why he can destroy an elite team in a single encounter.

In comparison, the real Uchiha Itachi was more conservative in formulating tactics because he was limited by his Mangekyō eye power. He would not easily use Mangekyō-level eye techniques unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, his tactics were more technical and conservative.

In other words.

The fake 'Uchiha Itachi' is a high-end version of Uchiha Itachi who has no restrictions on eye power, or even chakra, and possesses all the means and thinking of Uchiha Itachi.

Although he has the Mangekyō Sharingan, without the restrictions on his pupil power, it is almost equivalent to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

"In this situation, Orochimaru may not be able to handle it."

Shinji frowned slightly.

Orochimaru himself was perfectly restrained by the real and fake Uchiha Itachi, and the fake 'Uchiha Itachi' who also possessed the 'Ten-fist Sword' was not afraid of the 'Impure World Forms' of several Hokage. Moreover, the 'Impure World Forms' of the strongest first generation was destroyed during the battle with Tanjiro, so even with the addition of Kabuto Yakushi, Guren, Jūgo, and Tayuya, Orochimaru's side would not have a complete chance of winning against the fake 'Uchiha Itachi'.

Of course, if Shinji took action, he should be able to get rid of the fake Uchiha Itachi with no doubt, but Shinji didn't want to face the Overlord's power at the moment because he was not sure whether the Overlord had left any tricks on the fake Uchiha Itachi.

If he exposed himself as the 'Lantern Bearer' to the Overlord's sight in advance in order to deal with the fake 'Uchiha Itachi', it would not be worth it.

The battle with the overlord is a desperate battle between the weak and the strong, and he cannot afford to underestimate the enemy.

With this thought in mind, Shinji decided to let Orochimaru lead the fake 'Uchiha Itachi' away first, and circle around in the Ninja World. After he successfully snatched the Ten-Tails, became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, and was promoted to the 'Six Paths Level', he would deal with the fake 'Uchiha Itachi'.

By then, his strength will have reached the top of the ninja world, and he should have no problem dealing with a 'Projection of Fear' created by the Overlord.

At this moment, Yakumo's blood clone on the tree behind him suddenly "whoosh" and swapped places with Yakumo's original body. Then, Yakumo leaped in front of Shinji and bowed, saying, "Sir, I found it!"

"Let's go then!"

Shinji nodded slightly and put his hand on Yakumo's shoulder.

Instantly, with another "whoosh" sound, Shinji and Yakumo disappeared above the treetops, and only a blood clone of Yakumo was replaced from somewhere.

not far away.

Karin, Mumei, Neji, and Kimimaro, all dressed in hooded red cloud suits, sat or stood on the trees, quietly alert to everything around them.
