Chapter 371 - 56

Chapter 56: The Reunion of Shisui and ItachiAlthough the Chakra fluctuations erupting from Naruto were not yet enough to threaten Itachi, he was shocked that such a young child already possessed this level of strength; even if Narutowas not as strong as him, taking him down would definitely not be an easy task.In recent years in Konoha, there were three people considered geniuses, including himself, with the other two being Kakashi and Shisui, but even they had not reached this level at Naruto's age.He felt that if such a genius were truly one of Danzo's subordinates, it would be terrible, but he quickly dismissed this thought because he knew something of the relationship between Tsunadeand Naruto. After sorting out the connections between the characters, he concluded that Narutolikely belonged to the Third Hokage's faction.Thinking of this, Itachi's Sharingan instantly vanished, and he slowly said: "Naruto, lead the way. I will go with you."Naruto was not surprised by the shift in Itachi's attitude, as he knew that with Itachi's intelligence, he would definitely be able to analyze many things.Indeed, just as he had thought, Itachi chose not to attack precisely because he believed Naruto was likely trained by the Third Hokage, but there was still a matter in his heart he was unwilling to believe: "Could it be that the Third Hokage was also involved in Shisui's death?"While he was still thinking, Naruto had already arrived at his side and grabbed his hand. Itachiinstinctively wanted to dodge, but to his surprise, Naruto's speed was superior, and he firmly grasped Itachi's hand first.Then, before Itachi could react, Naruto directly used the Flying Thunder God. Itachi felt his vision go black, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had arrived at another place.Itachi vigilantly surveyed his surroundings and discovered that this was just an ordinary cave. Although it was extremely crude, there were clear signs that someone had lived here.Just as he was still analyzing the surrounding environment, an extremely familiar voice reached his ears, causing him to freeze: "Itachi, long time no see!"Hearing this voice that could not be more familiar, Itachi was somewhat incredulous. He slowly turned his head and, sure enough, saw Shisuiappear before him."Sh-Shisui?" Itachi might have imagined countless times the scenario where Shisui had not actually died and was standing before him again after recovering from his injuries, but when this scene actually happened, he felt as if he had a thousand words, yet he could not utter them.Shisui looked at Itachi's appearance and was just about to step forward to say a few words to him, when, to his surprise, Itachi, with tears in his eyes, suddenly rushed forward and hugged him tightly.Shisui gently patted Itachi on the back and then said: "Alright Itachi, I'm still alive and well, aren't I? Don't cry like a child; Naruto is still watching on the side."After hearing this, Naruto knew that Shisui was hinting for him to leave quickly and not to disturb the two brothers while they reminisced.So, he curled his lips and said: "Shisui, Itachi, since you two brothers have reunited, have a good chat here. Shisui, don't forget to talk about the important business." After speaking, Naruto turned and left the cave to keep watch for them.Seeing that Naruto had left, Itachi immediately asked: "Shisui, how were you saved? I clearly saw you jump off the cliff that day! And why are you together with Naruto?"Facing Itachi's many questions, Shisui patiently replied: "After I jumped off the cliff that day, I fell into the river, and it was Naruto and his group who saved me. They even gave me these eyes.""You must also be very curious why my eyes were with him, right? In fact, he took them from Danzo, and even these two eyes of mine are the same. As for why he did this, it's too troublesome to explain; it's better if you just take a look yourself."As he spoke, Shisui activated his Sharingan and transmitted the information that Naruto had once shown him into Itachi's mind.To their surprise, in that instant, Itachi's Sharingansuddenly changed. His Mangekyo began to operate autonomously, out of control, and a massive surge of Chakra fluctuations instantly emerged from his entire body.Seeing this situation, Shisui was somewhat confused about what was happening to him and asked worriedly: "Itachi, what's wrong with you?"Itachi's expression looked very pained, and he said with difficulty: "I don't know what's going on either; it seems I can't control my Sharingan... Ah!"Before Itachi could finish his sentence, he let out a roar. Immediately following this, a large amount of red Chakra appeared around his body, and a skeletal giant slowly took shape, bursting directly through the cave.Because Shisui was worried about him, he did not run away alone but activated Amenominaka, constantly dodging the falling rocks.Naruto, who was waiting outside, also sensed the situation. As soon as he turned around, he saw a skeletal giant with only an upper body appear before his eyes, and he said in surprise: "Susanoo?"In fact, what can cause the Sharingan to change has never been just hatred and sorrow; love can also grant it powerful strength.When Itachi saw Shisui standing before him safe and sound, his heart was filled with joy, which led him to activate another ability of the Sharingan—Susanoo.Moreover, when Shisui used his Sharingan ability on him, it happened to stimulate his eyes, and at this moment, because he had not yet fully mastered this ability, the Susanoo was released involuntarily.Seeing this, Naruto hurriedly rushed in front of him and shouted loudly: "Itachi, try to deactivate your Sharingan quickly!"At this time, Itachi also discovered that he was currently inside this skeletal giant, and it had an intricate connection with his own Sharingan.After hearing Naruto's words, he began to try to control the giant with his Sharingan. Itachi was indeed worthy of his reputation as a genius, and he succeeded very quickly.After deactivating the Susanoo, Itachi panted heavily and knelt on one knee on the ground; it was obvious that using this newly mastered ability was still very draining for him.However, Naruto did not give him time to rest and hurriedly said: "Shisui, quickly help Itachi up. Let's leave here first; such a huge commotion will definitely attract the attention of others, and it would be terrible if we were discovered."After hearing this, Shisui did not dare to be careless. He quickly helped up the kneeling Itachiand left the place quickly with Naruto. Before leaving, Naruto specifically had Shisui use Fire Release to erase all the traces they had left behind here.Sure enough, less than ten minutes after they left, members of Root arrived at the scene. After inspecting it, they returned to report without finding any valuable information.After a while longer, members of the Anbu also arrived upon hearing the news, but they, too, failed to discover anything.
