Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 79 Target: Kaleidoscope

Ding!

In the silent forest, a figure wearing a straw hat and Akatsuki attire walked silently, occasionally letting out a clear bell sound.

Uchiha Itachi suddenly stopped, slightly lifted his hat to reveal his Sharingan, and looked around with a wary expression.

"Mr. Itachi, what's wrong?"

Kisame, who was standing next to him, turned around, his tone questioning.

Could it be that even after a few days of rest, Itachi is still unable to completely alleviate the aftereffects of using the Mangekyou Sharingan?

"It felt like I was being watched just now."

Itachi Uchiha withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and closed his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Could they be ninjas from Konoha?"

Even Itachi Uchiha couldn't find a possible spy, so Kisame Hoshigaki didn't search in vain. He simply moved his arm quietly toward Samehada on his back.

"Perhaps—"

Uchiha Itachi, who had secretly raised his guard, was about to take a step when he saw a figure appear in front of him.

A figure wearing a comical clown mask, without the slightest fluctuation of chakra.

When did the other party appear?

"Members of Akatsuki?"

Tetsuya manipulated the puppet to look at Itachi and Kisame in front of him. Through the veil of his hat, he could see the wariness in their eyes.

"Someone actually knows about our organization?"

Kisame Hoshigaki threw away his straw hat, a look of scrutiny appearing in his eyes.

Didn't the leader say that Akatsuki isn't ready to sweep through the ninja world yet, and is still in the stage of hiding itself?

Konoha is one of the five great ninja villages, so it's not surprising that they have some information about the Akatsuki. But how come they can tell the origins of any ordinary person they meet on the street?

No, although the other party did not have any chakra fluctuations and was suspected to be just an ordinary person, what commoner could spy on the two of them without being discovered by Itachi, and appear without warning to block their way?

"Take off your mask, or I'll take action right now."

Kisame Hoshigaki pulled out Samehada from his back, assuming a stance ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Mr. Itachi, he rejected my suggestion. It seems I have no choice but to take action—"

Kisame Hoshigaki unleashed an astonishing chakra pressure, causing the pebbles and fallen leaves beneath his feet to rise up against the laws of physics. With each step forward, the surrounding air grew heavier, fully displaying the aura of a tailless tailed beast.

However, the puppet remained motionless, still displaying an air of utter confidence.

Could it be that—

A piercing whistling sound rang out as Samehada slashed down at Tetsuya, the sharp blade threatening to cleave the obstacle in two.

As expected, both Itachi Uchiha and Kisame were outliers within the Akatsuki organization.

Was the purpose of this strike merely to pierce my mask, rather than to injure me?

Tetsuya, who had clearly captured the blade's trajectory, suddenly vanished, causing Kisame Hoshigaki's pupils to shrink.

Such speed! Even faster than Itachi's speed! I couldn't even catch a glimpse of its trajectory.

Using the fallen leaves that had been set ablaze on the ground, Tetsuya appeared behind Itachi Uchiha, gently placing his outstretched hand on Itachi's shoulder.

Because he obtained a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan when he extracted Danzo's abilities, it opened up a new avenue for Tetsuya.

Unlike the two-tomoe Sharingan, which can be easily advanced to the three-tomoe Sharingan by simply training according to the Uchiha clan's experience and having enough talent, to further advance to the Mangekyou Sharingan, one must endure tremendous negative emotions, such as killing or witnessing the death of the person with whom one has the deepest bond, in order to generate special chakra that stimulates the three-tomoe Sharingan to advance again, thereby awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, Tetsuya asked himself honestly, what ties did he have in the ninja world? Even with Team 7, with whom he had the most contact, whether it was Kakashi, Naruto, or Sasuke, Tetsuya would of course save them if he could. But if he encountered an opponent he couldn't defeat, such as a certain Otsutsuki suddenly falling from the sky, Tetsuya would definitely run as far away as possible. The only thing he could do was to avenge them when he was absolutely certain of success in the future.

Therefore, Tetsuya summoned a puppet to block Itachi's path, hoping to extract the Mangekyou Sharingan from him.

In theory, Danzo or Kakashi, who have transplanted Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, also have a chance of achieving their goal, but to increase the probability of success, it is more appropriate to choose Itachi Uchiha.

The moment Tetsu placed his hand on Itachi's shoulder, he immediately sensed something was wrong. In the vision of a Miracle Master, the Itachi before him was clearly not the real Itachi.

Not only that, Tetsuya also sensed the aura of flames emanating from the other party.

Is it a shadow clone with explosive tags attached?

As expected of Itachi Uchiha!

boom!

A column of smoke rose from the forest, and a deep crater was blasted out of the spot where Uchiha Itachi had just been standing.

Uchiha Itachi, emerging from behind a large tree, frowned; he couldn't smell blood.

"As expected of Uchiha Itachi, a man who could change the history of the ninja world even after his death."

Tetsuya stood on the canopy of a tree about two zhang away, his tone tinged with a hint of wistfulness.

Itachi Uchiha never expected that the Kotoamatsukami he left inside Naruto would inadvertently affect him, allowing the reanimated Itachi to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation. Furthermore, the brothers joined forces to successfully control Kabuto Yakushi and release him from the Impure World Reincarnation, which became the opportunity for Orochimaru's resurrection.

Without Orochimaru's resurrection of four Hokage to support the Allied Shinobi Forces, the two saviors would not have survived until Kaguya's resurrection and would have died prematurely. It is no exaggeration to say that Itachi Uchiha changed the course of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

"Who exactly are you?"

Tetsuya's unpredictable speed of movement inexplicably reminded Itachi Uchiha of the mysterious man who called himself Madara Uchiha.

Could it be that the other party also possesses spacetime abilities?

Tetsu didn't answer Itachi's question, and instead leaped forward to pounce on him again.

They actually rushed in from the air without making any feints?

The three-tomoe Sharingan trembled slightly, and Itachi Uchiha raised his palm to his mouth, habitually unleashing his most frequently used ninjutsu.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

The moment the flames burst from his mouth, Itachi's Sharingan trembled violently twice. He discovered that Tetsuya had not only stood still in mid-air, outside the range of the Great Fireball, but the Great Fireball, which was supposed to be aimed at the opponent, was also inexplicably suspended in mid-air. Then, without warning, it rolled and crashed into Itachi, who was performing the ninjutsu.

The opponent seized control of the Fireball and even turned it against me?

Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted rapidly. Just as the flames were about to engulf him, he switched places with another shadow clone hidden behind a large tree, turning the shadow clone into a trap to lure the enemy once again.

Snapped!

The moment Itachi Uchiha appeared behind the tree, a hand suddenly reached out and placed on Itachi's shoulder.

"Mr. Itachi!"

These actions were completed almost instantly. Even Kisame Hoshigaki was a beat too slow to react. Seeing that Itachi Uchiha seemed to be restrained, he rushed over and swung Samehada at the enemy.

Tetsuya's figure disappeared again before Samehada was sliced ​​off, and reappeared on the treetop two zhang away.

One after another, projections of Itachi Uchiha from different periods lit up in Tetsuya's eyes.

We can try to extract the Mangekyou Sharingan from Uchiha Tensei.
