Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 145 Guess
Just after noon, a ray of west-slanting sunlight fell on Orochimaru's pale face. The swaying shadows of the trees gave this face an indescribable feeling of weirdness.

It was clearly a bright noon, but this person's presence brought a cold aura.

Kisame blinked and looked back at Itachi.

He was obviously asking Itachi's opinion: Do you want to talk to this guy?
Uchiha Itachi has always been a person who is very good at suppressing his emotions and controlling his behavior. Faced with Orochimaru's words and deeds, he finally restrained the idea of ​​killing this guy on the spot.

Orochimaru is not a fool. Facing Tsukuyomi, who has no power to fight back, he dares to come and is naturally prepared.

What if Orochimaru is killed here and Sasuke is harmed?Itachi had to consider this possibility, and since this guy was still a comrade in the Akatsuki organization, it was uncertain whether Kisame next to him would stop him.

Even though Kisame seems to share the same hatred with him now, this guy is actually a thorn in his side, not a fellow traveler.

The large triangular windmill within the Mangekyō Sharingan gradually slowed down, which also meant that Itachi's attitude had softened.

Seeing this, Orochimaru's eyes filled with greed and desire finally calmed down a bit:
"No matter what it is, it's easy to talk about! If you, as my brother, can give me what I want, Sasuke-kun."

Anyway, the three people present knew very well what kind of existence Sasuke was, and when Orochimaru spoke, he expressed his intention to use Sasuke to manipulate Itachi without any scruples.

Hearing such opening remarks, Kisame couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Who doesn't know what you, Orochimaru, want?This is like a robber kidnapping the heir of a country, and then telling the king that you just need to hand over the country to me, and I will return the person to you immediately!

If this pair of Mangekyō Sharingan gives you Orochimaru, will there be any guarantee of Sasuke's safety?

And this guy is making this kind of calculation when he returns to the Akatsuki organization?Not necessarily, the Mangekyo is much worse than the Rinnegan. Maybe Orochimaru's real idea is to wait for an opportunity to seize Payne's eyes, and now he is just acting.

Seeing the way Mr. Itachi was drooling over Mr. Mangekyō Sharingan, Kisame couldn't help but feel disgust in his heart.

"If you're joking, there's no need to say it again."

Itachi completely ignored the hidden meaning of Orochimaru's words and directly dismissed it as a joke:

"are these all?"

This answer is not surprising. Obviously those who can agree are either mentally retarded or stupid. After all, only those with brain development defects are likely to consider such a proposal.

So Orochimaru still smiled brightly:

"It's just a joke. I think you two are usually too serious. You should smile more."

With a paralyzed face and a shark face, Itachi and Kisame were silent at the same time, staring at Orochimaru's smiling face with four eyes, quietly releasing the pressure.

"Okay. That's it."

Orochimaru opened his mouth to speak, then looked at Kisame and prepared to drive away this troublesome guy:
"When it comes to talking about this kind of thing, I think some people should step aside."

This request didn't seem strange to Kisame.

According to his true intention, of course he hoped to be able to listen to what kind of deal terms Orochimaru would propose to Itachi, and what he would get in return for what he paid.

But information is too precious.

The conversation between the two people is likely to reveal some content that is inappropriate for others to listen to. Therefore, Kisame, as a third party, has of course become a redundant existence. I am afraid that it is not only Orochimaru who wants him to avoid it, but even Itachi himself. I would still think so.

As Kisame expected, Itachi just nodded slightly when facing his questioning gaze.

It would be hard for Kisame to stay in this situation.

Lifting Samehada onto his shoulders, he walked calmly into the depths of the jungle.

After all, he had no additional information, so he couldn't guess Orochimaru's true intention. Moreover, using Sasuke to negotiate conditions with Itachi was quite logical, and it was especially in line with Orochimaru's usual sinister and sneaky style of doing things.

Therefore, Kisame was not particularly wary of this matter. He just planned to report the matter to Fei as usual afterwards, thus completing his surveillance mission.

In fact, he really wanted to eavesdrop, but he didn't have that ability.

If Zetsu was here, he might try to get closer secretly and eavesdrop on some information. However, Kisame thought about it and the possibility of success was not very high. Although Zetsu White and Black's ability to hide himself was the best in the ninja world, he had to get close enough to It was still difficult to be close enough to hear the conversation without being noticed by Orochimaru and Itachi.

Just Uchiha Itachi's pair of Mangekyō Sharingan Eyes is a powerful weapon for seeing through everything.

He knew this in his heart, so Kisame didn't have any evil thoughts and waited silently.

After about ten minutes at most, the conversation between the two ended.

Back in front of the campfire, Kisame picked up the remaining half of the grilled fish and continued to stuff it into his mouth. While eating, he asked tentatively:

"How about it? What conditions did that guy put forward?"

Itachi just shook his head and gave a short answer with almost no change in his expression:
"Just some whimsical conditions."

This statement was very straightforward, and it was equivalent to telling Kisame that the negotiation between him and Orochimaru had collapsed, and there was no possibility of a deal between the two parties.As for whether Kisame would believe this kind of rhetoric, it didn't make any sense. As long as he didn't reveal any information, he wouldn't be able to guess the truth at all.

Even myself, before Orochimaru mysteriously revealed the real purpose, he couldn't think of it at all.

The other party came to the door, and it turned out that he was delivering a message.
Itachi recalled the information about Yamanaka Tetsuya in his mind. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was for contacting him. Could it be that this guy was a spy sent by Konoha to the Akatsuki on his own initiative, and he was not very qualified with him? Part-time spy joint?
If this is the case, then we have to admire the courage of the Fifth Hokage, who is willing to let such an outstanding and promising ninja step into the pit of fire, and also severely harmed Kirigakure Village.

Should I say he is worthy of being one of the Sannin, an admirable senior?
This is just a guess, a possibility.

For this rising star of Konoha, a talented junior who suddenly appeared, Itachi's understanding was limited to that one contact, and he conveyed some information about the Akatsuki organization to the other party in the Tsukuyomi space.

When I heard this name after that, it was already big news that Kirigakure Village had lost its Three-Tails.

Apart from the possibility that Tetsuya Yamanaka was a spy for Konoha, Itachi couldn't guess anything more because there were too many possible reasons.

Perhaps Yamanaka Tetsuya just felt that the Konoha rebel ninja who had also committed a major crime wanted to have more contact with his senior and work on some cooperative projects.

Perhaps he joined forces with Orochimaru to deceive himself into having private contact and seize the opportunity to seize the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Or maybe, it's just boring and doesn't have much deep-seated purpose?

However, thinking about what he saw and heard during their first meeting, and what he knew about what happened afterwards, Itachi vaguely felt that the first possibility should be the highest.

So do you want to join forces with yourself to target the Akatsuki organization?
It seems necessary to meet.
Just need a chance.
