Just as Obito Uchiha was about to use genjutsu to control the Daimyo of the Land of Frost,
A figure wearing a straw hat and a black cloak stood at the edge of Konoha Hidden Village.
"One more step, and the defense barrier will be triggered."
Uchiha Itachi's face was expressionless, and his pale hand reached out from his cloak into the air in front of him.
Sizzle.
A sound like electricity, accompanied by dancing electric arcs.
Behind him, Kisame Hoshigaki's expression was strange as he said, "Hey, hey, Itachi-sensei, didn't you say it would trigger the barrier? Nothing bad will happen, will it?"
On his back, he carried a broad, serrated greatsword.
It was the source of most of Kisame's power, evolved and forged from his original ninja sword Samehada, a purple weapon infused with a portion of his soul power.
A special water-element Zanpakuto.
"Shinigami" was a genuine Tier 2 ability, and Kisame's current strength allowed him to briefly release a partial Bankai.
He could roughly reach the "Tier 2 (Commander-level)" standard.
And Uchiha Itachi, standing beside him, possessed "Tier 2 (Gold-level)" strength, making him a top player in the entire Reincarnation Game.
Therefore,
Even if Uchiha Itachi actively touched the barrier, Kisame Hoshigaki had no worries.
Even a major power like Konoha Hidden Village, with Gold-level players guarding it, the two of them could still retreat safely.
"Don't worry, the outermost layer is a perception barrier; it will only transmit messages and poses no danger."
Uchiha Itachi's tone was certain.
He and Kisame had both betrayed Akatsuki and were now constantly wandering and being pursued. After traveling through the Ninja World and the Pirate World, he finally chose to return to Konoha.
After all, although Konoha seemed impregnable now, it was being besieged by several ninja villages.
During the previous Evil God incident,
Because of Sarutobi Hiruzen the Hokage's breach of contract, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Cloud Hidden all dispatched elite-level players leading ninja teams to the border of the Land of Hot Water to blockade it.
Although Konoha was strong, it had only recently settled in the Land of Hot Water, and the "Hokage Thanksgiving" had only occurred twice, so it lacked significant backup forces.
If this continued,
It was hard to say whether it would be dragged down by the other ninja villages.
Therefore, Uchiha Itachi decided to return to Konoha and continue to be a blade protecting the Wood Leaf Village.
Kisame Hoshigaki said without reservation, "But, speaking of which, I really didn't expect the Hokage to have the guts to provoke the Four Great Nations, and even the Navy Alliance of the Pirate World. Now that he's fallen to this state, he deserves it…"
Before he could finish speaking, he met Uchiha Itachi's icy gaze.
He immediately stopped talking and shrugged helplessly.
Unlike Uchiha Itachi,
He had little sense of belonging, not to mention Konoha, even Kirigakure, and Akatsuki was the same. Uchiha Itachi was one of the few men he was willing to follow voluntarily.
He just hadn't expected the seemingly cold and ruthless Uchiha Itachi to always have Konoha in his heart.
He really was very similar to himself.
Kisame Hoshigaki lowered his head slightly; whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, he would always remember the enemies, comrades, and innocent passersby he had killed.
Seemingly executed as easily as cutting grass,
But Kisame Hoshigaki could clearly remember everyone's expressions, demeanor, and movements in his dreams.
"It has nothing to do with Hiruzen-sama."
"Is that so?"
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Uchiha Itachi's cold expression and was stunned.
Then he began to think.
Even a brute like himself would never provoke the Four Nations and turn hostile, especially after they had helped Konoha through a difficult time.
The Hokage's various actions were very likely due to being possessed by someone.
With the rich variety of skills in the Reincarnation Game, it was not surprising to have an ability that could control the Hokage.
As expected of Itachi-sensei,
To be able to grasp the situation of Konoha Hidden Village from thousands of miles away and know the secret of the Hokage being controlled, he truly is unfathomable.
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Uchiha Itachi with increasing admiration.
"It has nothing to do with Hiruzen-sama; it's all the fault of the Four Nations and the Navy Alliance!"
Uchiha Itachi thought, "The Evil God attack was originally a disaster for the Ninja World, yet the Four Nations actually held out for a price, threatening Konoha. Afterward, they even demanded high reward points. In my, Uchiha Itachi's, eyes, they already had the intention to die."
After failing to threaten, they even dared to send troops to blockade the Land of Hot Water—simply shameless.
Now that he had returned to Konoha, he must kill all these shameless people.
Half a minute later,
A figure approached rapidly from a distance.
Kisame Hoshigaki reminded, "Itachi-sensei, it's an elite player."
This area was Konoha's territory, so the opponent had no reason to conceal his presence; he even blatantly revealed himself to deter intruders.
"Don't be impulsive, Kisame."
Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, looked at the Konoha Ninja standing guard not far away, and said, "I am Uchiha Itachi; I wish to see Sarutobi Hiruzen-sama."
The newcomer was wearing the Shadow Organization uniform and exuded a strong aura of fire.
He was an elite player who had raised his Fire Release skill to "Tier 2".
However,
Uchiha Itachi looked him over with dissatisfaction, frowning slightly, and said, "It's been a full half-minute since the barrier was triggered, and you only just arrived. Has the efficiency of the Anbu fallen to such a degree?"
With such laxness and slackness, how could they protect Konoha?
He thought back to when he was in the Anbu…
"Uchiha Itachi, a wanted criminal?"
Upon hearing Uchiha Itachi announce himself, the Fire Release ninja also frowned, took two steps back, and widened the distance.
Uchiha Itachi was an extremely heinous world-class wanted criminal.
Before the Reincarnation Game appeared, he had massacred the entire Uchiha clan, defected from Konoha Hidden Village, and then joined Akatsuki, a terrorist organization that caused chaos everywhere.
After the Reincarnation Game appeared, he was even more like a ghost, hiding and ambushing, having launched sneak attacks on the Raikage and assault on Marine Alliance general-level players…
His various heinous acts were countless.
Yet he dared to return and claim to seek the Hokage-sama?
"Yes, it's me."
Uchiha Itachi's expression was normal as he nodded and said, "However, things are not as you imagine. I need to see the Hokage-sama now."
He felt no shame whatsoever.
Everything he had done was for Konoha, a sacrifice and dedication, including attacking various players, which was also at the Hokage's secret command, solely to seize Pollution Monsters for the Hokage's direct Shadow Organization.
"Please wait."
The Fire Release ninja's eyebrows knitted together. He first stabilized the heinous Uchiha Itachi, then quickly contacted his teammates.
…
On the other side,
In the Hokage's office, Shimura Danzo, who was standing by the window overlooking the Wood Leaf Village, received the message, and his expression slightly stiffened.
The large floor-to-ceiling glass window in the office was a special glass he had specifically commissioned a craftsman player to create.
Even though he clearly knew that such a floor-to-ceiling window could easily expose the interior of the Hokage's office and increase the risk of attack,
Danzo still did it.
It was all so he could better stand in the Hokage's position and admire the entire prosperous Konoha.
"Uchiha Itachi, has he returned?"
