Konoha I am Uchiha

"I never thought that I would see you again one day in this life."

In the Country of Tang, a meatball shop.

"I still can't get used to your taste." The man in black robe took a bite of the purple meatball: "The purple sweet potato taste is not bad."

Orochimaru's defeat was reasonable. If Hiiragi hadn't been seduced and caused the pain of the curse seal, he alone could have defeated Orochimaru.

Of course, it is still difficult to kill him.

"Everyone has different tastes. Everyone likes fresh food." Sitting opposite Hiiragi was a man wearing a black-bottomed red cloud robe.

"I didn't expect what Orochimaru left on you back then had such a profound impact." Itachi casually twisted a meatball and chewed it with relish.

"It's also my fault." Hiiragi smiled and touched the back of his neck: "The seal was so complete that I forgot that there was such a thing."

Crossing the sea from the Kingdom of Water to the mainland, the two naturally chose a comfortable place like the Kingdom of Tang to correct themselves.

People, it’s better not to embarrass yourself.

The two young people, who were no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, looked like aging elders, sitting in a small shop reminiscing about their youth.

"How did you see that thing residing in my body?" At this point, Itachi spoke with some curiosity. Itachi could never imagine why Hiiragi could see the white things that he couldn't detect even though they were both kaleidoscopes. Absolute clone.

Itachi did not miss the Mangekyō Sharingan in Hiiragi's eyes, and he wisely did not bring up the relevant topic, but this did not mean that he was not curious about how Hiirago could see it.

"Haha, this is related to my ability." Hiiragi pointed to his eyes with a smile: "There is some disharmony in your body. You can find out with a little guessing."

Hiirago didn't elaborate on his abilities, and Itachi didn't inquire.

Bai Jue's spirit body is very messy, which is very different from the pure spirit body of normal people.

With just a little discernment, Ama Iwato's ability could point out the inconsistencies in Itachi to Hiiragi.

"Speaking of which" he dropped a sweet and cloying meatball, and Hiiragi said seriously to Itachi: "You have also seen how closely Akatsuki guards you members, and even has such spies lurking on his body. .”

"Now that the troubles have been eliminated, do you still want to stay in a place like this?"

Hiiragi sincerely advised Itachi to leave.

Different from the original work, Itachi at this time did not have Sasuke in Konoha to hold him back. In addition, his own strength is not bad either. If you really want to leave, with Hiirago's support, there's not much you can do.

He pointed at the Suzaku ring on Itachi's hand, the medium used to perform the magic lantern body technique: "You don't know the function of this thing, right?"

"Ha." Itachi casually took off the ring and threw it to Hiiragi: "How could I not understand that you think you are the only smart person in the world?"

Then he laughed at himself: "Indeed, I thought the other party's monitoring method was only this, but I made an oversight."

"But" he stretched out his chopsticks and picked off the meatball that Hiiragi disliked: "I have my own means, don't worry."

"As for Akatsuki," Itachi's face darkened: "It's just the tip of the iceberg that's revealed, but it's shocking. Their purpose is too dangerous."

"I know." Hiiragi waved his hand nonchalantly: "Tailed beast?"

He casually rolled down all the purple sweet potato balls in front of him, and pushed those so sweet that it made his eyes darken to Itachi. Hiirago smiled with satisfaction: "Don't worry, it's just a little trick of Feng Dun."

After hearing the word tailed beast, Itachi looked up in surprise, but was surprised to find that the people around him didn't seem to hear what he and others were saying.

Sound is transmitted through the vibration of the air, and Hiiragi can easily isolate the two people's voices through the vacuum isolation cover created by Fengdun.

"I did some things in the Kingdom of Water and learned some secrets." Then he explained everything about the Kingdom of Water to Itachi in a calm tone.

"It's actually like this." Even Itachi couldn't help but sigh.

"So the situation of the three tailed beasts is now clear." Hiiragi said casually: "If one of the tailed beasts dies, then Akatsuki's plan will be delayed for several years."

Itachi stopped chewing the balls in his mouth for the first time.

After a pause, he sighed softly: "You don't have to do such a thing for me." He thought for a while: "I don't know where Akatsuki's confidence lies in executing the tailed beast collection plan, but in the end it will fall on those two On the eyes.”

"The eye of reincarnation."

"Yeah." Itachi mentioned the abilities of Akatsuki members to Hiiragi, so it's not surprising that Hiiragi was able to say what he wanted to say: "In case something goes wrong, I have the confidence to escape."

"Back then, the first Hokage distributed tailed beasts, which allowed the balance of force among the five major nations to be maintained. Now Akatsuki is taking frequent actions. Although it has not yet entered the stage of collecting tailed beasts, once something happens to any Jinchūriki, it will affect everyone. big event."

"Correction." Hiirago threw a ball to Itachi: "Even if the first generation assigned tailed beasts, in just sixty years, three wars occurred in the ninja world. Each war affected a wide range and the intensity of the war. To put it bluntly, overall, is there any difference from the Warring States Period?"

"Forehead"

"But" he curled his lips: "If something happens to the Jinchuuriki, it will indeed be very troublesome."

"So, Itachi-kun, come and help me." Hiirago looked at Itachi sincerely: "If you don't talk about our personal grudges with Madara, just talk about yourself. Aren't you also unwilling to see Akatsuki happen?"

Itachi hesitated, but finally shook his head.

"Sasuke is still young, I have to take care of him." A touch of tenderness appeared on his brow: "Until Sasuke really stands up, I can't act willfully."

I think if you continue to pamper your child like this, he will never achieve anything.

Of course, Hiiragi was just complaining in his heart.

"Okay, I knew you would say that." He shrugged: "Then, do you mind supporting me with some information?"

"Say." Itachi didn't hesitate.

"Do you have any impression of Orochimaru's strongholds?" Hiirago followed suit.

Since the duo performs missions outside all year round, they inevitably need to provide supplies. Even if they avoid it, Hiirago believes that Itachi has secretly speculated on several hiding places of Orochimaru. This is much more reliable than the ambiguous information. .

"You want to cause trouble for Orochimaru?" Itachi was startled: "I always thought you were here specifically to help me."

"Haha." Hiiragi laughed twice.

"I don't know the specific location." Itachi didn't dwell on one point: "But I have some speculations. If you follow these clues and check them, you should get something."
