Chapter 225 Other Gods

Everyone in Konoha, except Naruto, was looking for Itachi and Sasuke under the guidance of the ninja dog. At this time, Sasuke was injured and could not move quickly. In addition, the previous battle had exposed his basic position. Sakura and others immediately tracked them down under the guidance of the ninja dog, while Sasuke could only lie in bed to recover. But Konoha's actions were completely sensed by Xiangling.

After receiving this news, Sasuke had no choice but to continue moving even though he had not fully recovered. After swallowing Orochimaru, Sasuke had a strong recovery ability, so it was not a big deal. Xiangling's perception ability was different from that of ordinary ninjas. She could accurately sense the enemy's position, as well as the strength and type of chakra. When Xiangling sensed the dog's chakra, she knew that Konoha was tracking by smell.

So, Xiangling took out a piece of clothing that Sasuke had worn and cut it into pieces. Then he asked Chougo to call many birds to scatter the pieces of clothing around. Kiba immediately felt something was wrong and turned to the people of Konoha and said, "Oh no, Sasuke's scent is beginning to spread." Kakashi said, "It seems that the other side also has a very good perception ninja. Our actions have been discovered by them." The dispersion of the scent caused Konoha's tracking difficulty to rise sharply, and Sasuke began to look for Itachi's traces.

Hiding in the wooden house underground, Naruto had a satisfying sleep, then used earth escape to fill the place and prepared to leave. Compared with Sasuke, Naruto cares more about Uchiha Itachi. This genius of the Uchiha family helped Konoha do so many things, but in the end he had to leave Konoha. Even though he is no longer in Konoha, he is still trying to help Konoha in every way.

Naruto activated Sage Mode and searched for Itachi. Moreover, it didn't take too much time for Naruto to sense Itachi. It seemed that Itachi was also looking for someone. Naruto immediately began to approach Itachi and lurked not too far away. When Itachi came over, Naruto launched a surprise attack, attacking Itachi's back. Because Naruto hid very well and the timing was just right, he had the upper hand as soon as he attacked. However, Itachi immediately fell forward and kicked back with one foot to block Naruto's sudden attack.

The two separated immediately after the blow, and Naruto clapped his hands and said, "As expected of an Uchiha genius, Uchiha Itachi, you can even handle this kind of emergency calmly. As expected, compared to Sasuke, you are much stronger." Itachi also turned around, looked at Naruto and said, "Uzumaki Naruto, I'm looking for you too. However, I'm not here to fight with you, I just want to talk to you."

Hearing Itachi say this, Naruto had a hunch that Itachi was going to talk about Sasuke. Besides Konoha, the only person Itachi really cared about was Sasuke. Naruto said, "Itachi, I know a little bit about your affairs, please tell me what you have to say." Itachi said, "Naruto, for a defector ninja like Sasuke, you have never given up the idea of letting Sasuke return to Konoha. May I ask, what do you think of Sasuke?"

Naruto said without hesitation: "In this world, besides you, I am probably the only one who regards him as a brother. No matter what he does, I always believe that he will return to Konoha. There is an unbreakable bond between him and me." Itachi said: "If one day, Sasuke wants to destroy Konoha, what will you do? Kill Sasuke to protect Konoha, or give up Konoha to protect Sasuke?" Naruto said: "We can neither let Sasuke destroy Konoha, nor kill Sasuke to protect Konoha."

Itachi shook his head and said, "It's impossible at this time, Sasuke and Konoha, these two." Naruto interrupted Itachi and said confidently, "Itachi, how can we know whether the future is possible or not? We are all chasing our dreams. As long as we work hard for it, the dream will come true one day. If not, we will work harder. Besides, I am confident that Sasuke will stand with me in the end."

After hearing what Naruto said, Itachi seemed to be somewhat touched. He seemed to be somewhat moved by Naruto. Then, Itachi summoned a crow, dragged it on his hand and said: "Naruto, at this time, Uchiha Shisui's eyes can cast the strongest illusion, Kotoamatsukami. Now, I hand it over to you, and I hope you can make good use of it. If it really doesn't work, use it to deal with Sasuke. However, I hope you will never use this on Sasuke." As he said, the crow flew in front of Naruto, and Naruto stretched out his hand to hold it.

One of the eyes of this crow is Uchiha Shisui's eye, which is known as the Mangekyō Sharingan, the strongest illusion. With this, Naruto can cast the strongest illusion - Kotoamatsukami. However, using this crow, it can only be cast once. After Itachi taught Naruto how to control this crow, he prepared to leave. Naruto said, "In the end, do you still choose to duel with Sasuke?" Itachi did not speak and continued to move forward. Naruto knew that there was no way to stop him, so he did not ask any more questions.

However, even Itachi could not detect that Naruto had already done something to Itachi during their first contact. Now, through a very small seed, Naruto could accurately sense Itachi's location. Naruto was not in a hurry. If he was right, Itachi should have gone to see Sasuke. After that, the place where the two would duel would be the same as before, at the old site of the Uchiha clan. It would take some time from the meeting between the two to the final duel. At this time, another thing also made Naruto very concerned.

Jiraiya has already started to leave Konoha. This time, he is probably going to the Rain Village alone to investigate the accurate information of Akatsuki. Speaking of collecting intelligence, a lot of valuable information in Konoha comes from Jiraiya. He is not only strong, but also has very rich experience and is very good at collecting intelligence. Naruto hammered his shoulders and said, "It seems that we have to prepare for a big fight again. This time, it may be a bit difficult for me alone. It seems that it is time for them to show up." With that, Naruto returned to Chunlai Villa.

Because there was not much time, Naruto only asked Sagi Mori to call Uzumaki Momiji. Soon, Momiji came to see Naruto. Every time Naruto called her, she would come in the shortest time. When she saw Naruto, Momiji said: "Master, do you have any ninjutsu to teach this time?" Naruto shook his head and said: "No, I want to see how your practice in fairy arts is going?" Momiji said: "At present, I can basically control the power of fairy arts, but I can't get rid of the fairy seal and collect fairy chakra by myself."

Naruto nodded and said, "In that case, that's about right."
