"[Fire Release: High Fireball Technique]." Itachi blew out high-temperature flames towards the crowd targeted by the mission.
The firepower was deliberately suppressed to prevent him from being burned to death instantly. The people who were set ablaze were rolling on the ground and wailing. But there were exceptions. Two people quickly dodged the blow.
"Did we actually encounter an interception unit?"
"withdraw!"
As soon as the two of them released smoke bombs for cover, their throats were cut open by two shurikens thrown accurately by Itachi. The Sharingan could see the chakra in the smoke, and the meaningless smoke was used as cover to throw shurikens.
.
"Itachi, please let me live." Cachino said dissatisfied.
"These two are ninjas who were mixed in, and they are not within the scope of the requirements." Itachi probably guessed the identities of these people. They were probably refugees who planned to move to Konoha Development Zone, and there must be a few spies among them.
"Is it a foreign mission to kill chickens to scare monkeys and restrict the flow of people into the Land of Fire?" Itachi said.
"You always want to know even though you know that you feel bad after knowing it? No, this is a mission issued by the Kingdom of Fire. Their own country will do the task of killing chickens to scare monkeys." Kaqino walked towards the ninja whose throat was slashed, lifted it up, and
When testing the atmosphere, he said, "Konoha's economic independence will destroy the existing balance of the Fire Nation's economy and shake the foundation of the daimyo and officials. However, we cannot talk about this kind of thing. We can only talk to us, a mercenary organization that seems to have no backing."
Come and do it. Well, this person still has a chance to survive, so I need to get started as soon as possible."
Hearing Kakino say something like pre-meal etiquette, Itachi remembered that he had never seen Kakino eating before.
Kakino opened his mouth, pulled the dying ninja's head in front of him, and moved his mouth closer. A blue light mist floated out of the dying ninja's mouth, and was quickly sucked into Kakino's mouth.
During this process, the body that endured death gradually became gray and dry, and finally died.
Kakino did the same thing to every living creature, and Itachi also felt that since the battle with Hidan, Kakino's aura that had become a little sluggish after being severely injured was rapidly recovering.
"Does the secret of her seemingly immortality come from taking away other people's life energy?" Itachi is a spy. He must always imagine fighting the members of "Akatsuki" and grasp as much information as possible.
"Please leave the rest." Kaqino left the last person who drained his soul to replenish his HP and pointed at the remaining people who died without even speaking a word.
"Ah." Itachi took out a kunai and walked forward to destroy the body.
"As I said below, knowing the details of the mission is not good for someone like you who thinks too much." Cacchino said.
"Did you see it?" Itachi felt that his acting skills were very good.
"It's just that you have become delicious." Kaqino raised the scabbard and pointed it at Itachi's neck, "If it is not necessary, I will not take a life for no reason. Not only is it meaningless, but it is also a shameful thing to waste food resources. However, the taste of the soul
I remember that the greater the negative emotions, the more eager to live, and the more diligent in thinking, the more delicious the soul becomes. These people have long been like zombies, and those two ninjas have also been awakened long ago, so they are not delicious. Yours
The spiritual form makes me feel so delicious that I can’t help but want to eat you. You know.”
"Only if you can do it." Itachi showed his Sharingan.
"Let's just talk. After all, we are about to part ways. Let's wait for your next partner. Do I need to treat you to a meal before that? After all, the food expenses given to me by the organization have been saved." Cachino put down the money.
Scabbard, his tone was a bit regretful.
"No, that's not necessary."
"Well, goodbye. One last thing for you. Since you are in "Akatsuki", don't make choices that you will regret because of overthinking. If you think about regrets further, your head will explode before your body dies.
Of, probably.”
"There is no regret when a ninja performs a mission." Itachi thought of the night when the genocide was exterminated.
"But, before that, you were just a human being. Thinking is a good thing, but simply thinking will only make you more confused, because your knowledge is too limited and you don't even understand physics and economics. This is the following
My personal opinion, although you are delicious, it is quite comfortable to do tasks with you, which makes me reluctant to eat you. In short, you give me the feeling that you are here to seek your own death. It is better to find a way to follow human instincts as much as possible.
Live well, even if it's for the orphans of Uchiha, after all, you still have someone to love."
After saying that, Cacchino turned and left.

"Shark..." Itachi, who rested for the night in a temple on the top of a seaside mountain, left the temple and passed dozens of torii gates to the beach. He saw something like a sail exposed on the sea and muttered to himself.
"Kisaki Kisame, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Former Kirigakure Village." Behind him came a muscular man with a shark face, wearing a bandage on his back and a knife that looked like a huge blunt instrument, wearing the uniform of "Akatsuki".
"Please give me more advice."
"You are Uchiha Itachi of the former Konoha Village, and I have admired your name for a long time." Kisame said, "I think I still know you very well, because my mission often kills compatriots. Mr. Itachi, the feeling of killing compatriots and hiding the truth is indescribable.
Bar?"
Itachi tilted his head slightly to conceal his emotions. What Kisame said meant that he had some understanding of the Uchiha genocide, which meant that he had developed a relationship with the masked man Uchiha Obito before. He said he was a new member, but in fact he was
The core member who knows the most is the right one. I'm afraid they are monitoring me as a spy.
"You talk a lot, and you think you understand me, but what about you? You wandered forward in the fog and came here, but you are just a person who doesn't even know where you are going."
The next moment, Kisame's sword was placed on Itachi's shoulder. Kisame gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Itachi, does he know about sharks? Some sharks are ovoviviparous, and the hatched sharks will eat each other in the belly of the mother shark. Only
Only those who survive are qualified to be born. As a colleague from now on, please be more careful with me, you know."
"Each other."
"I hope we won't become each other's last rivals." Kisame put away his sword, meaning that even if he knows your secret, as long as he doesn't betray Akatsuki, he can treat you as a companion who won't kill each other.
"Those who have hurt their companions will not die well, so be mentally prepared." Itachi stood up and prepared to set off. This was also a reminder to himself. It seems that this time his partner is not so easy to get along with.
"So, we are all hopeless." Kisame said sarcastically.
"...No, we are not fish, we are humans."
"Mr. Weasel, I think someone said it right. If a person strips away the cloak of reason, his instincts are no different from those of animals."
"Yes, but human beings can have reason." Itachi walked past Kisame, leaving behind a cold and handsome figure, "However, people instinctively want to live, so people can only see themselves clearly before they die."
Indeed, as Kaqino warned, you must learn before thinking, because the world view depends on cognition. In the past, he also had that kind of cognition before choosing to exterminate the clan, otherwise...
