Death God: Unrivaled in sharpness, the greatest captain of all time!

The young man looked to be around twenty years old, with a burly build, a resolute face, and the appearance of a tough guy.

"Who are you?" Itachi Uchiha frowned.

“I’m from the Anbu, my name is Sai!” Sai said in a deep voice. He felt that Uchiha Itachi looked familiar the moment he saw him.

A look of doubt appeared on Itachi Uchiha's face; he was certain he didn't recognize this person.

"Anbu?" Chiya Kuchiki frowned slightly. "Sai, have you forgotten? We're comrades. Have you forgotten the missions we completed together?"

Sai suddenly remembered that he and Chiya Kuchiki were partners, and he had almost become Chiya Kuchiki's fiancé.

“It’s you!” Sai’s eyes flickered, and he looked at Uchiha Itachi with a hint of wariness.

Uchiha Itachi and Kuchiki Chiya are both genius-level ninjas. Their combat strength is extremely powerful, comparable to that of elite Jonin!

“This is…” Sai’s pupils contracted slightly when he saw the flame symbol on Itachi Uchiha’s chest. “This is the Third Hokage’s sword!”

"Hmm, not bad!" Chiya Kuchiki smiled easily.

The Third Hokage was his idol, not to mention that the Third Hokage had once been his teacher!

Itachi's brows furrowed more and more. He could sense the hostility in Sai's eyes when he looked at the flame pattern on his chest.

"Itachi-kun, who is he?" Chiyo Kuchiki asked, her brows furrowed slightly.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Kuchiki Chiya for a long time before saying, "My friend, Sai."

Sai's expression shifted between light and dark, but he eventually regained his composure: "Sai greets Senior Senya!"

"No need for formalities," Chiyo Kuchiki waved her hand.

"Itachi-kun, you're going to enter the Land of Rain?!" Chiyo Kuchiki suddenly realized something.

Uchiha Itachi didn't answer.

Chiyo Kuchiki's eyes were filled with worry. Itachi Uchiha was going to Kumogakure, and all of this was because of him. How could he bear to let Itachi Uchiha take such a risk?!

"Itachi-kun, don't worry, I will help you with your matter," Chiya Kuchiki said solemnly.

"Thank you!" Itachi Uchiha nodded indifferently.

.

...

Uchiha Itachi and Kuchiki Chiya soon arrived at a valley.

In the center of the valley stands a towering ancient tree with thick branches reaching hundreds of meters in height, and at the top of the tree is a giant egg.

"What is this?!" Itachi Uchiha stared at the giant egg, sensing the immense power contained within it, a power that seemed capable of destroying everything.

"Uchiha Itachi, congratulations on obtaining my power!" A hoarse voice rang out, a cloud of dust rose, and a figure gradually became clear—it was Uchiha Fugaku.

"Uncle Fugaku." Itachi Uchiha bowed respectfully.

Fugaku glanced at Uchiha Itachi, then at Kuchiki Chiya beside him, and his face immediately froze.

"Kuchiki Chiya!" Uchiha Fugaku's face turned unusually cold.

"Hehe, Brother Fugaku, how are you?" Chiya Kuchiki smiled calmly.

Fugaku clenched his fists, took a deep breath to suppress the surging killing intent within him. Now that Uchiha Itachi had obtained his bloodline power, he had to lead Uchiha Itachi back to Konoha as soon as possible.

"Fugaku-senpai, are you here to bring Itachi back to Konoha?!" Chiya Kuchiki's purple eyes shone brightly.

“That’s right, I need Itachi to return to Konoha!” Fugaku nodded in agreement.

"Then please follow me, I've already made arrangements." Chiyo Kuchiki led Fugaku and Itachi Uchiha to the center of the village.

Outside a house, a man dressed in black stood with his back to them.

"Captain Kakashi!" Chiya Kuchiki greeted the man in black.

"Kuchiki-senpai, Itachi, you've finally arrived!" Kakashi slowly turned around, his face as pale as paper. "The village is in crisis right now, you should go and help them!"

After Kakashi finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

"What?!" Itachi Uchiha was stunned and quickly helped Kakashi up.

Itachi Uchiha placed his hand on Kakashi's body to examine Kakashi's internal condition and discovered that a mysterious and unpredictable chakra was raging within him.

Itachi Uchiha's eyes sharpened. As an Anbu member, he could tell that this mysterious chakra was the chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation technique!

Itachi Uchiha's expression turned solemn; this chakra was terrifying!

"I need Itachi's help. All I need to do is get rid of this chakra," Chiya Kuchiki said in a deep voice.

"Hmm?" Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly. He knew about the forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation. Once activated, the caster's soul and body would be devoured by the monster resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation.

"Itachi-kun, trust me!" Chiyo Kuchiki said firmly.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Kuchiki Chiya, then at the unconscious Kakashi, and chose to believe in Kuchiki Chiya.

"Since my father has entrusted this ninjutsu to me, I will absolutely not fail!" Chiya Kuchiki murmured.

Immediately, Chiya Kuchiki placed his right hand on Kakashi's forehead, and in the next instant, a massive surge of chakra erupted from his body, covering him in green armor.

Uchiha Itachi watched this scene in astonishment, and he could sense that these armors possessed incredibly strong defensive capabilities.

"This is a sage transformation. This ninjutsu (Li Haohao) is truly amazing," Uchiha Itachi exclaimed.

"This is my unique technique, and only I can control it!" Chiyo Kuchiki said calmly, looking at his newly created armor.

"As expected of a celestial being, he was actually able to withstand my full-force attack!" Sai exclaimed in shock.

Upon hearing Sai's words, Itachi Uchiha revealed a bitter expression. In the original story, Sai was abandoned by Mito Uzumaki precisely because of this difference in strength.

Without his Sage Mode transformation, Sai was indeed inferior to Sasuke and Naruto, and one could even say he was inferior to them.

Both Sasuke and Naruto have immense potential and terrifying training speed. Sasuke, in particular, is no less talented than Itachi Uchiha. However, due to Naruto, Sasuke was sealed away.

However, Sasuke is Naruto's older brother, and due to their relationship, the bond between Sasuke and Naruto is very deep, which is why Sasuke survives the cycle of reincarnation time and time again.

161. It seems like a battle has taken place here.

Sai's fate was far more tragic. He suffered the tragedy of his clan's annihilation when he was young. Later, he was adopted by Madara Uchiha and became a soldier. During the chaotic period of the ninja world, Madara Uchiha sent Sai to the Akatsuki organization, hoping that the Akatsuki organization could protect Sai.

However, Itachi's rise made Madara Uchiha feel threatened, and he wanted to get rid of Itachi. Madara Uchiha knew that his disciple Itachi would definitely not be willing to join him, so he sent Chiya Kuchiki to come with only one purpose: to stop Itachi from growing stronger!

"Itachi-kun, let's begin!" Chiyo Kuchiki's voice reached Itachi Uchiha's ears.

Uchiha Itachi snapped out of his daze and looked at Kuchiki Chiya: "Are you really sure?!"

Itachi Uchiha knew his situation; his chakra nature was lightning, which was why he was able to successfully activate the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, he is not an Earth Release ninja, but a Water Release chakra user!

"I've made up my mind! Itachi-kun, I'm counting on you!" Chiyo Kuchiki's expression was filled with pain.

Uchiha Itachi shook his head; he understood what Kuchiki Chiya wanted to do.

Itachi Uchiha took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes.

A massive and terrifying burst of chakra erupted, shattering everything around it, including Chiyo Kuchiki's chakra armor, which vanished completely.

"Pfft!" Kuchiki Chiya spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light.

"This is... Sage Mode!" A wicked smile appeared on Chiyo Kuchiki's lips.

Although his immortal transformation allows him to maintain immortal mode for a short time, the cost is extremely high.

If Chiya Kuchiki doesn't end her Sage Transformation in time, she will die!

Sage Transformation is the process of converting one's own chakra into another person's chakra. From then on, Itachi Uchiha's chakra would be completely transformed into Sage Transformation chakra.

Chiya Kuchiki opened his eyes, looked at Itachi Uchiha, and his smile became even brighter.

Uchiha Itachi also wore a bright smile. He could feel the incredibly large amount of chakra within his body. His strength was comparable to that of a tailed beast, and his chakra was many times stronger than that of an ordinary tailed beast.

"Itachi-kun, it's time to make a move!" Chiya Kuchiki said calmly.

Uchiha Itachi nodded upon hearing this, and then began to form hand seals, unleashing a massive burst of chakra.

"boom!"

The entire building began to tremble, and plumes of smoke and dust rose into the sky.

"Damn it!" A cold voice rang out, and then hundreds of masked ninjas appeared in front of the building.

The masked ninjas drew their weapons and stared warily at the two unfamiliar ninjas in front of them.

"How could this be?" A burly young man with a stubble-covered face and dark skin frowned.

"Third Tsuchikage, it seems like a battle is taking place here!" a thin young man wearing glasses warned from the side.

"Hmm?!" Tsuchikage raised an eyebrow as he saw a pile of ruins in the distance.

The Tsuchikage, an elderly man, stepped forward and looked at Itachi Uchiha and Chiya Kuchiki: "Who are you two?"

"You must be Itachi Uchiha and Chiya Kuchiki, right?" the Tsuchikage asked seriously.

Chiyo Kuchiki's transformation into a sage made the Tsuchikage sense something was wrong, which is why he stepped forward to inquire.

"It's me!" Chiya Kuchiki sneered. His Sage Transformation had almost been countered and killed by Itachi Uchiha.

The Tsuchikage's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Chiya Kuchiki's words. Chiya Kuchiki was actually Itachi's enemy?!

Many thoughts flashed through the Tsuchikage's mind, but in the end he saw through Kuchiki Chiya's strength. He was only a mid-level fifth-rank ninja. Although he was a peak fifth-rank ninja, his strength was not enough.
