Chapter 189

"Lord Tsuchikage, you know Uchiha Itachi! Then you must know of Uchiha Itachi's deeds!" Kuchiki Senya stared tightly at the Tsuchikage with both eyes.

"Uchiha Itachi once caused a great disturbance in Konoha Village and even injured the Fourth Hokage!" The Tsuchikage fell silent for a moment before speaking; of course he knew of Uchiha Itachi, because back then Uchiha Fugaku had sought him out, wanting him to persuade Uchiha Itachi to return to Konoha.

But the Tsuchikage refused, because he knew Uchiha Itachi had not only defected from the village, but also left an indelible shame within Konoha Village; when Uchiha Fugaku left, he had said: "Uchiha Itachi will forever be the shame of me, Uchiha Fugaku; he is not worthy to return to Konoha Village!"

The Tsuchikage had been brooding over this matter, yet he never expected Uchiha Itachi would dare return, and moreover, his strength had reached the mid-sixth stage!

"Since you know of Uchiha Itachi's affairs, then you should know Uchiha Itachi's strength!" Kuchiki Senya's eyes shimmered with flowing light; he knew the Tsuchikage's long-held thought was to eliminate Uchiha Itachi, so it was no surprise that the Tsuchikage knew of Uchiha Itachi's affairs.

"How could I not know such things?! Are you trying to say Uchiha Itachi's strength surpasses yours, and thus he is qualified to become the captain of my Konoha's Anbu?" The Tsuchikage looked at Kuchiki Senya with contempt.

Regarding Kuchiki Senya's affairs, the Tsuchikage had long understood them clearly; he knew Uchiha Itachi and Kuchiki Senya had once been close friends.

However, this did not hinder him from targeting Uchiha Itachi; in his view, Uchiha Itachi was a traitor and must die!

"Today I am here to tell you, Lord Tsuchikage, Uchiha Itachi is absolutely not someone you can provoke!" Kuchiki Senya's aura began to grow.

The momentum on his body became increasingly terrifying, as if a giant dragon was Su Xing.

"Not bad; this way, I need not worry that you will run away." The Tsuchikage squinted his eyes and spoke; he never expected Kuchiki Senya's strength to improve so quickly, and now he had actually reached the quasi-Kage level!

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

The Tsuchikage clasped his hands together, and instantly a thick wall intercepted in front of Uchiha Itachi and Kuchiki Senya.

"Earth Release: Rock Blade!"

Uchiha Itachi's right fist erupted with scorching chakra and senjutsu chakra condensing into a sharp sword, which suddenly pierced through the Earth Flow Wall, then flew shooting toward Kuchiki Senya.

"Haha!" Kuchiki Senya let out a loud laugh and extended one finger to block the sharp sword tip.

"Do you think I would be without any defense?" Kuchiki Senya mocked.

"Then Earth Release: Mountain Collapse and Earth Split!" The Tsuchikage stomped his feet, and the ground immediately trembled.

"Sage Technique: Freeze All Things!" Kuchiki Senya's left eye suddenly bloomed with blue frost, and then countless ice blocks surged from his body, covering him.

"Crack!" Fine cracks appeared on Kuchiki Senya's body.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!" The Tsuchikage used Earth Release again.

"Earth Release: Sage Technique: Storm Snow!" Kuchiki Senya spoke in a low voice, and then all the ice shards on his body vanished.

"Sage Technique: Ice Sealing Imprisonment!" The Tsuchikage continued to use ninjutsu, while Kuchiki Senya condensed another ice ball once more.

162. I have a plan to draw the snake out of its hole!

"Sage Technique: Sage Transformation!" Kuchiki Senya's body swelled to twenty centimeters tall; he opened his mouth, countless ice crystals gathered, and then a huge ice ball fell into his mouth.

"Bang!" The ice ball exploded, scattering countless ice particles; the Tsuchikage hurriedly spread a chakra shield to stop these ice particles.

"Sage Technique: Water Release: Water Prison Technique!" The Tsuchikage formed hand seals with both hands, and a large amount of chakra condensed in front of him to form a small lake.

Countless water droplets rushed toward the ice particles, quickly swallowing these ice particles.

But before the Tsuchikage could breathe a sigh of relief, Kuchiki Senya's attack had already descended before his eyes.

"Earth Release: Earth Spear!" The Tsuchikage roared and quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

The Earth Spear burst from the ground and fiercely collided with Kuchiki Senya's chest.

Kuchiki Senya's chest immediately collapsed; he spat out a mouthful of blood, then slowly knelt on the ground.

"Hmph!" The Tsuchikage looked coldly at Kuchiki Senya once, then turned and left.

"Tsuchikage, do not underestimate me; do you know that I, this person, hate traitors the most? You will live your whole life in self-blame and regret!" Kuchiki Senya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said ferociously.

"I am waiting for you!" The Tsuchikage said coldly.

Afterwards, the Tsuchikage led a group of Konoha experts to leave this place; he did not want to waste time here.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes revealed sharp light; he never expected that in such a short time, the Tsuchikage's strength had increased so much.

Moreover, Uchiha Itachi knew the Tsuchikage would definitely deal with him, but he never expected the Tsuchikage would come out personally; was he going to eliminate him?

Regardless, if the Tsuchikage wanted to kill him, he would not stand idly by; after all, this was Konoha Village.

In a certain forest, several Anbu members were hidden inside a large tree.

"My lord, these Konoha ninjas are truly weak!" An Anbu member said disdainfully.

The other Anbu members also nodded in agreement.

"Truly worthy of the Five Great Nations; the Anbu of Konoha Village are far weaker than those of Amegakure." Another Anbu member said.

"Stop wasting words; quickly track that Tsuchikage, or trouble will arise if we are discovered!" An Anbu member said with a furrowed brow, because he saw the Tsuchikage stop in place.

Several Anbu members quietly followed the Tsuchikage, wanting to understand what exactly the Tsuchikage was doing.

And the Tsuchikage also seemed to notice these Anbu members following him; his face was filled with anger: "Damn it!"

The Tsuchikage sensed the followers behind him; his face was very gloomy; he never expected these brats would dare to track him.

"Earth Release: Great Fireball Technique!" The Tsuchikage released his Fire Release ninjutsu.

The Tsuchikage's flame power was quite terrifying; even the Anbu members following the Tsuchikage hurriedly dodged.

However, they were still half a beat too late and were burned by the flames.

"Damn it!" An Anbu member shouted through gritted teeth.

"This time I will spare your lives!" The Tsuchikage glanced at these Anbu members, then quickly left.

The Tsuchikage knew he could not defeat Uchiha Itachi and that fellow named Kuchiki Senya; if they continued to entangle, the ones who would suffer would be them.

The Tsuchikage knew Uchiha Itachi would not give up easily.

However, he also believed his strength was sufficient to protect himself, and Uchiha Itachi could not do anything to him.

After the Tsuchikage left this forest, he found a place to rest; although Uchiha Itachi and Kuchiki Senya injuring each other made the Tsuchikage breathe a sigh of relief, the Tsuchikage became even more urgent; he must recover his strength as soon as possible.

And at this time, in a certain forest deep within the Land of Fire, a group of men wearing black straw hats gathered together, and one of the men wearing a black straw hat was Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi gazed at the outside of the forest, then let out a sigh.

Although the strength the Tsuchikage just displayed was indeed earth-shattering, Uchiha Itachi knew this was only the Tsuchikage's peak state; he was still far from the Tsuchikage.

"Itachi, what are you sighing about?" Kuchiki Senya walked to Uchiha Itachi's side and said.

"I am pondering what exactly that old man, the Tsuchikage, is plotting." Uchiha Itachi said with a smile.

"I also feel the Tsuchikage's strength has improved considerably; no wonder my lord the Tsuchikage chose to summon us at this moment of crisis." Kuchiki Senya said indifferently.

"Not only that; the Tsuchikage has probably already sensed my existence." Uchiha Itachi shook his head; he did not believe the Tsuchikage had failed to notice him, after all, his Sharingan had already awakened.

"Itachi, I have a way to draw the snake out of its hole!" Kuchiki Senya pondered for a moment, then said.

· ··Begging for flowers·· ·

"Hmm?" Uchiha Itachi asked in confusion.

"This matter is of great consequence and requires careful decision!" Kuchiki Senya said in a deep voice.

……

Konoha Village, ANBU Base.

"Damn it, the Tsuchikage is actually plotting against our captain!" an ANBU member angrily clenched both fists.

"We must inform my lord the Third Hokage!" another ANBU member beside him also said.

"Do not forget, our mission is to monitor the movements of those enemies!" the first ANBU member who spoke said in a deep voice.

All ANBU members fell silent, because the ANBU leader spoke very correctly; their duty was to supervise the enemies, and if the enemies turned the tables on their surveillance, it would very easily startle the snake and spoil the plan.

"However, I feel this matter is not simple; after all, the Tsuchikage is the head of Konoha; how could he be easily ambushed!" the ANBU leader analyzed; he also felt this matter was not that simple.

"My lord the leader, I believe we should immediately report to my lord the Third Hokage!" an ANBU member said firmly.

"No, I suspect there is a spy among us; if we rashly notify the Third Hokage, it will very easily startle the snake, causing our plan to fail." the ANBU leader said, rejecting the proposal.

"This..." all ANBU members hesitated; if there really was a spy, then wouldn't that disrupt the entire plan.

"Leader, your guess is reasonable." at this moment, another ANBU member stood up and said, then took out a scroll and handed it to the ANBU leader.

The ANBU leader took the scroll and examined it carefully; the more he looked, the more shocked he became, because he saw many pieces of intelligence on the scroll; these were all secret intelligence of the Konoha High Command, and every single one was a very precious item.

If leaked, it would absolutely cause a huge disaster.

However, the ANBU leader knew that since this piece of intelligence in his hand had been delivered to him, it meant this ANBU member was already loyal to him.

At least not one sent by those fools.

"Leader, these documents are extraordinary; they must be destroyed immediately, otherwise they will cause huge losses!" the ANBU commander proposed.

"Hmm! You all help me destroy them." the ANBU leader nodded.

……Nai.

163. Are you really prepared to do this?

In the Naruto World, inside a house in Konoha Village.

"My lord the Tsuchikage, are you really prepared to do this?" an ANBU member asked with concern.
