Chapter 116 The Demise of the Akatsuki's Health Preservation Group
The story on the screen continues.
Sasuke was overjoyed to have mastered the Crow Clone Technique and eagerly pulled Itachi aside, saying, "Nii-san, let's have a match! Let me try out my new ninjutsu!"
Itachi smiled and nodded in agreement: "Alright, then let me see your results."
The two brothers each took a few steps back, assumed their stances, and began to cut.
Sasuke took the initiative, forming a few hand seals and unleashing a swift Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
A scorching fireball was unleashed, whipping up a wave of intense heat that hurtled towards Itachi.
Itachi remained calm and easily dodged with a single wave of his hand, then threw several shuriken at Sasuke.
However, Sasuke was prepared. He nimbly dodged with a push of his foot and took out several kunai to throw back.
Itachi easily brushed aside his younger brother's counterattack and whispered his approval: "Not bad, quick reaction."
Seeing that his basic attacks were no match for his brother, Sasuke's fighting spirit intensified, and he decided to use the special move he had just learned.
He rapidly formed hand seals while simultaneously leaping backward to create distance.
"The Crow Clone Technique!"
As he spoke, he deliberately released one of the shadow clones he had created earlier. With a "bang," the shadow clone turned into a flock of crows and scattered.
A swarm of crows suddenly descended upon Itachi, their dark wings fluttering, making it difficult to discern Sasuke's true form for a moment.
Despite the bizarre scene, Itachi remained calm and collected, his dark eyes scanning the surroundings with a composed demeanor.
The next moment, he suddenly turned around and delivered a precise chop to his back.
With a cry of pain, Sasuke, now revealed, clutched his shoulder where he had been hit, and raised his hand in surrender with a wry smile. "Sigh, my brother-in-law saw through me after all."
Itachi lowered his hand, a smile returning to his face: "To achieve this effect on the first use of this technique is already quite remarkable."
He patted his younger brother's head to encourage him, and then continued sparring with Sasuke while pointing out the shortcomings in Sasuke's previous moves.
"Sasuke, it's best to use the Crow Clone Technique in combination with other techniques. For example, first use Fire Release to block the opponent's vision, and then use it when the opponent is focused on Fire Release."
Itachi imparted his combat experience to his younger brother without reservation.
Under Itachi's patient guidance, Sasuke's tactical skills improved at a visible pace.
In just a few rounds, he was already able to use the methods taught by Itachi, combining some ninjutsu with crow clones to create clones to confuse the enemy.
I have a vague understanding of this tactic.
Inside the VIP box.
Uchiha Itachi quietly watched the two sparring partners in the scene.
Despite being constantly overwhelmed and defeated by the experienced Dream Itachi during the match, Sasuke was still able to win.
But Sasuke's face was always beaming with a genuine smile.
That was a scene Itachi hadn't seen in a long time, and it was clear that his younger brother was thoroughly enjoying this moment.
Upon seeing this, Itachi Uchiha fell silent.
He unconsciously raised his hand to rub the corner of his eye, only to feel a stinging pain.
Sasuke's bright smile was like a beam of light shining directly into his heart, making it almost impossible for him to look directly at it.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Itachi Uchiha have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Itachi Uchiha murmured, "Is this the life you wanted?"
Just then, a cheerful voice rang out from beside the training field: "Good morning! You guys are training so early?"
As they spoke, a strange yet familiar figure appeared in the scene.
Sasuke and Itachi stopped what they were doing at the same time upon hearing the sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a young man standing at the edge of the training field, smiling and waving at them.
The man had short, jet-black hair, and the headband on his forehead reflected the faint morning light. His handsome face wore a warm smile.
He was wearing a specially made gray-black vest!
Sasuke smiled and waved. "Good morning, Shisui-nii-san!"
The visitor was none other than another genius from the Uchiha clan.
Instantly stop the water.
Inside the VIP box.
Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened suddenly, his breath catching in his throat—Shisui—Shisui-san?!
He stared incredulously at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the screen.
"What exactly happened?" he muttered to himself, his mind a complete mess.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Itachi Uchiha have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Even Shisui appeared in this dream?
The Shisui in the picture is no longer the naive young man he remembers; he looks quite mature now.
In the dream, Uchiha Shisui looked to be in his early twenties, taller and stronger than he remembered, with more rugged features than in his youth.
Seeing Shisui's heroic and upright appearance at this moment, Itachi felt his eyes well up with tears—if Shisui-san hadn't died young, would he have grown up to look like this?
He felt as if he had returned to that cliff edge where dusk was falling.
Crimson blood was continuously seeping from Shisui's left eye, yet a relieved smile remained on his face.
He solemnly entrusted me with the heavy responsibility of protecting the village and taking care of Sasuke.
Then, without hesitation, his dearest friend, whom he regarded as an elder brother, turned and leaped off the cliff, disappearing into the roaring water—
Itachi quickly noticed a detail in the scene: "That vest!"
His gaze settled on the gray tactical vest that Zhishui was wearing, and his heart skipped a beat.
He recognized the uniform.
That's equipment used by the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu!
Itachi Uchiha was very familiar with it; he himself had worn the same tactical vest when he served in the Anbu.
The problem is that Shisui, in his memory, never joined the Dark Division, but always worked in the Police Department.
Why is Shisui wearing the uniform of the Dark Guard?
What on earth is going on?!

Uchiha Itachi was suddenly awakened from his sleep, and he was still a little dazed when he opened his eyes.
After catching his breath, he sat up, feeling that his heartbeat had not yet calmed down and a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out on his forehead.
Looking around, he found himself in a simple hotel room—the place where he and Kisame had stayed the night before.
The sky outside the window was just beginning to lighten, with a light drizzle falling. Before I knew it, it was almost dawn.
The scene from his dream was still vivid in his mind, and Itachi's brows furrowed again.
Regardless of what kind of dream or illusion it was, one thing is certain: something must have happened in Konoha!
The various unusual occurrences made Itachi uneasy.
His thin lips pressed into a thin line, his mind haunted by Sasuke's innocent smile and the various illogical aspects of the final moments of the dream.
Who knows, Sasuke might already be in danger!
Thinking of this, Itachi took a deep breath, a resolute look flashing in his eyes: it seems he has to go back to Konoha!
Itachi threw off the covers and got out of bed, casually putting on his coat. His mind was still racing through the details of last night's dream, and his expression was unusually solemn.
At that moment, the person on the other bed in the room turned over and was also awakened by Itachi's movements.
With shark-like blue skin and a face full of sharp teeth, he was revealed; it was his companion, Kisame Hoshigaki, a member of the Akatsuki organization.
Kisame quickly noticed Itachi's unusual behavior.
After all, Itachi usually has a poker face and hardly any expression changes.
Today, he suddenly showed an expression; the change was so obvious.
"What's wrong, Mr. Itachi?"
Kisame couldn't help but ask, his voice low and tinged with doubt.
He knew very well that this companion rarely showed any emotional fluctuations, no matter what the situation was. What could have happened to make Itachi show such an expression?
However, Itachi Uchiha did not answer.
He silently packed his things, "Now that I'm awake, let's get going!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he leaped out of the window, landing on the quiet, damp street.
"Woolen cloth--?!"
Kisame was completely confused.
In the past, when this group was on the road, they always followed the principle of walking rather than running.
Taking care of one's health is important when carrying out a mission.
He had another purpose in joining the Akatsuki organization, so the two of them tacitly agreed to slack off.
Why is Itachi suddenly so energetic today?
Before Kisame could figure it out, he was only stunned for a short while.
Kisame stared in disbelief, his mouth agape. Before he could even process what was happening, Itachi had already become a tiny dot in the distance.
He snapped out of his daze, jumped out of bed, grabbed the bundle and the bandaged Samehada sword from beside the bed.
Ignoring everything else, he took off running after her.
