As the high-end combat power of Kirigakure, the name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen also resounded throughout the ninja world during the war.

Although it is not as intimidating as the golden flash, seven people together are still a powerful force.

What was outrageous about that information was not that four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were defeated and killed, but that the one who did it was a genin of Konoha.

This information was too outrageous, so Kumogakure didn't pay much attention to it, and even suspected that Konoha had released it to deliberately intimidate.

"Eight gates."

Yukito's eyes were slightly solemn: "Once the human body's limiters are fully opened, even a genin can gain the power of the shadow in a short period of time."

Sasuke on the side spoke at this moment: "Metkay, the instructor of the last issue. At that time, he opened seven limiters."

Seven?

The seventh door: the shocking door.

For a while, several people fell silent.

After a while, Yuki said: "In that state, Sunagakure's Jinchuriki has no room for resistance. Even if it were me, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better."

These words made Darui stunned. He knew the difference between a perfect Jinchuriki and an ordinary Jinchuriki.

If this is the case, then against Sunagakure's Ichibi, the power of that person's seventh gate has not been fully unleashed.

"For the evaluation of Konoha's combat power after losing the Third Hokage, it is necessary to formulate a document and hand it to Lord Raikage after returning. These are very important."

After nodding, the few of them didn't speak any more, but kept their heads down and hurried on.

An hour later, we approached the border of the Land of Fire.

When Yumuren raised his hand, everyone stopped.

"Very strong."

Upon hearing this, Darui took off the sword from his back, and Sasuke and Omoi also formed a defensive formation.

A few seconds later, two figures approached in the forest.

A uniform with red clouds on a black background and a bamboo hat.

"Itachi, is this your brother? His eyes are very interesting..."

Kisame said as he took off the decapitating sword and talked about Sasuke but his eyes were fixed on Yukito.

The Samehada in his hand told him that the woman in front of him was very strong, at least the amount of chakra made Samehada keep swallowing his saliva.

"Uchiha...Itachi."

Sasuke's voice was trembling, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes had been opened, and a kunai was also held in his hand.

Itachi, who was opposite him, still had an indifferent look in his eyes, not even looking at Sasuke.

Obviously, Sasuke already knew when he activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Such an outfit... It seems that you joined an organization after defecting to Konoha?"

Darui said and looked at Kisame again: "Sameki, Kirigakure's rebel ninja? But just like this, do you have the courage to face Kumogakure?"

Uchiha Itachi looked over: "Our goal is not Kumogakure, but it seems that some of you don't want me to leave..."

As he said that, he looked at Sasuke: "It's been a long time, Sasuke. Beyond my expectation, you grew up very quickly. You didn't rush over immediately without overestimating your capabilities, so I was a little more cautious."

"Buzz..."

His eye energy exploded, and before he could finish his words, a black flame suddenly appeared.

It was unexpected, but it was obvious that Uchiha Itachi was always on guard from the moment the Mangekyō Sharingan of the six-pointed star appeared.

Blood slipped from the corners of his eyes, but Uchiha Sasuke did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it. With just one shot of Amaterasu's fire, he realized the gap between himself.

"Are you going to do something, Itachi?"

Kisame was very excited and looked at the two Omoi brats maliciously.

One look made these two recently graduated brats tremble.

"There is no need to add extraneous details."

Itachi said and looked at Yukito: "Konoha and Kumogakure are not allies, and our target is not Kumogakure... However, if he can be handed over to us..."

Before he finished speaking, Yumu Ren laughed.

The next second, huge chakra suddenly erupted in his body, and two blue tails appeared behind him.

"How arrogant! Uchiha Itachi...it's a pity that Kumogakure has never been in the habit of abandoning his companions!"

Uchiha Itachi still had an indifferent face: "The two-tailed Jinchuuriki? Although the goals are not consistent, maybe we can try."

"boom!"

The blue flames fell, and after the hit, Uchiha Itachi's body turned into more than ten crows and soared into the sky.

After the gathering, thunder and lightning followed one after another.

But with just one blow, Darui's sword was blocked by Kisame.

The giant sword's Samehada muscle twisted, and the next moment Sasuke, whose whole body was covered with lightning, arrived instantly, and his right hand flashing with lightning suddenly stabbed out.

"boom!"

Samehada turned his head to block the blow, and at the same time, Sasuke's Thunder Release Chakra mode was swallowed and dissipated.

At the same time, the black thunder suddenly burst forward and its power was incomparable to Sasuke's.

"boom!"

Even if Samehada blocked it, Kisame was knocked away this time.

Immediately afterwards, Darui quickly formed seals with his hands, and black thunder suddenly erupted, speeding towards Kisame like a giant dragon.

Black shift!

"boom!"

The dust settled, but Darui and Sasuke did not continue.

the other side……

The three-sama kaleidoscope appeared in Uchiha Itachi's eye sockets, and three kunai blocked the surrounding area. The blue flames swept in and destroyed only the shadow clone.

"Whoa!"

One after another figures appeared all around, blue flames and tails surged out, but each time they failed to hit Uchiha Itachi's body.

Illusion?

"Genjutsu has no effect on a perfect Jinchuuriki!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene around him changed rapidly.

In the blood-red space, the limbs of a wooden man were restrained on a wooden cross. He was calling for another journey in his heart, but he received no response.

How can it be?!

"As a perfect Jinchuuriki, the power of the tailed beast can be perfectly borrowed. In this case, the second chakra in the body can burst out at any time to break through the genjutsu."

Uchiha Itachi's figure appeared and looked at Yukito: "But this is just a regular illusion. The tailed beast's chakra helps you break through the illusion. It also takes time. The time is very short, an instant? Or a second?

"

"In this world, one second is seventy-two hours. How long can you hold on for seventy-two hours..."

As he finished speaking, a long knife appeared out of thin air.

Raise your hand, stab straight through, break the skin and insert into the chest and heart.

The slowly coming pain kept stimulating the brain, and he could clearly feel the cold blade being inserted into the heart, but what followed was not death.

Soon, Yumu Ren, who was gritting his teeth and sweating on his forehead, was already covered with sharp knives.

The next moment, all the long knives disappeared.

"Leave Uchiha Sasuke to me, and you can get rid of this endless pain, and you, Kumogakure, can leave safely..."

Yukito, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked at Uchiha Itachi in front of him coldly: "Uchiha Sasuke is now Kumogakure's ninja, and his existence will affect Kumokakure's future rise and fall!"

"Similarly... you wouldn't dare to kill him. On the night of the Uchiha genocide, you only left him and the Uchiha Izumi family. I don't think a piece of trash like you will be soft-hearted for a moment."

Uchiha Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you want to say?"

Yukito gasped, but there was ridicule in his eyes: "You also know the existence of that person, right? Maybe it's because of that person that you couldn't kill Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Izumi. Otherwise, I really can't think of it.

The reason why you let them go."

After the words fell, Uchiha Itachi fell silent for a moment.

It has been more than four years, and the night of the genocide is still vivid in my memory even now.

The masked man who called himself Uchiha Madara had no chance of resisting even with the time and space pupil technique, and his eyes were gouged out casually.

And his own pupil technique, Tsukuyomi, also changed his master in an instant.
