Side Story: After Shippuden Itachi Traveled Through 3
Author's Note: Same old rule, this side story is unrelated to the main story.
(Part 3)
Morning, Hidden Leaf Village.
The rogue ninja from another world walked openly under the Konoha sun. He could finally appear in the village as a Konoha ninja.
Unfortunately, he couldn't be with Sasuke and his parents today.
After getting a preliminary understanding of the situation, Itachi Uchiha had to continue gathering intelligence with Kisame Hoshigaki and see if they could escape from the Hidden Leaf Village to investigate other places for a way to leave this world. After all, this Konoha was a bit too dangerous…
And it also made him a bit jealous…
His parents were safe, his brother was loving, his friends were alive, and he was about to become the Fifth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. Thinking about it made his own life feel like it wasn't fit for a human…
He had slaughtered his clan and defected from Konoha at thirteen. It had been five years… For these past five years, he didn't even want to know how he had survived!
"Good morning, Lord Itachi!"
"Lord Itachi, here's a bouquet of flowers for you!"
"Lord Itachi, have you eaten?"
Itachi Uchiha had never had such a novel experience. When had the ninjas of his village ever been so respectful to him? In that other world, they were always shouting to kill him!
This feeling… was really nice…
Was this the warmth of truly coming home…
A fair, slender arm suddenly rested on his shoulder, a food bag dangling from the fingers. A soft whisper came from behind him, "Itachi-kun, here's today's three-colored dango~"
The voice was faintly familiar…
Itachi Uchiha slowly turned around, as if wanting to embrace the person behind him. "Is that… Izumi?"
Unfortunately, this action was met with a wary gaze from the girl. Izumi Uchiha snatched back the dango in her hand in the blink of an eye, then feigned composure. "Itachi… kun? Want to go for a walk?"
Last night, she had received news from Hana Inuzuka. The Haimaru Brothers felt that Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha's scents were not right… So Izumi had come to test him today. Of course, she had her own little ulterior motives…
Although she also wished Itachi could be a bit bolder, such an intimate action was not at all in the style of the great Lord Fifth Hokage!
The path of their love was full of thorns, with a bunch of little imps like Karin, Sasuke, and Shisui in the middle, and a big boss crow guarding the final gate…
Of course, if it really was Itachi-kun, then she could take advantage of the situation… The little girl's abacus was clattering loudly in her mind.
However, the rogue ninja Itachi before her instantly gave himself away. He had no idea that the Itachi of this world was still a single dog, so his actions seemed a bit strange…
Itachi Uchiha was unaware that he had exposed a flaw. He just forced himself to remain calm and nodded at the girl. "Sure…"
He really couldn't be blamed for this…
Seeing Izumi make such an intimate gesture, shouldn't the two of them be lovers? The Itachi of this world was almost seventeen; how could he not be in love with Izumi Uchiha yet?
It didn't matter if Izumi Uchiha had noticed his abnormality. He would first discreetly put her under genjutsu!
If he remembered correctly, his lover Izumi from the other world should have had a three-tomoe Sharingan before she died. Even after four years…
A Mangekyo Sharingan can only be countered by another Mangekyo!
The hill behind the Memorial Stone.
This was the place where he and Izumi had met as children, and also the place where they often met. It seemed that every world was the same… so where did the problem lie?
He had to find a way to get more information first. He was the same person, yet he couldn't figure out the interpersonal relationships!
The rogue Itachi's eyes instantly turned blood-red, three black tomoe reflected within!
Izumi Uchiha activated her Sharingan at almost the same time, and her three tomoe even seemed to faintly want to evolve further. "Itachi-kun, why are you trying to control me with the Mind's Eye of the Kagura? You rarely used our family's Kekkei Genkai in the past!"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
Girl, your ocular power is a bit strong!
And Izumi Uchiha's words were full of points to roast. He didn't know where to start… This Konoha Village! This Itachi Uchiha of Konoha! What kind of freak was he!
An Uchiha who doesn't use his Mangekyo—how could he ascend to the position of Hokage based on his strength!
Seeing that his Sharingan genjutsu had failed and been seen through by Izumi Uchiha, the rogue ninja had no choice. A stream of blood flowed from his left eye as the three tomoe spun wildly. "Tsukuyomi!"
First, make Izumi lose her ability to resist!
Unfortunately, Tsukuyomi didn't seem to have caught the female ninja. The Uchiha clan seemed to have an innate, deep understanding of genjutsu. They always had ways to resist or break it!
Seeing the person she had a crush on suddenly activate the Tsukuyomi, Izumi Uchiha's expression changed drastically. Both of her eyes transformed into Mangekyo Sharingan, and the skeletal frame of a Susanoo tightly enveloped her, blocking the invasion of the genjutsu. "Tell me, who are you!"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
His Tsukuyomi, which had been invincible in the other ninja world, could not penetrate the Susanoo…
What kind of stimulation had the Izumi of this world received? Not only did she have a Mangekyo Sharingan, but she had even cultivated a Susanoo…
What kind of dragon's den was this Konoha?!
"Please stop! Lady Izumi!"
A figure suddenly dropped from the sky. He wore a crow mask on his face and a training uniform that looked a bit like a bathrobe. He seemed rather unserious.
Just looking at his clothes, one got the feeling that this person had come from some yoga class…
Izumi Uchiha looked at the suddenly appeared masked man, retracted her Susanoo, and asked softly, "Are there any instructions from Shisui's side? I'm busy here…"
"By Lord Shisui's order, I am to ask Lord Itachi to come to the Naka Shrine to discuss an important matter regarding his inauguration ceremony as Hokage."
"Didn't we already have over ten clan meetings last month for the inauguration ceremony?" Izumi Uchiha glanced at the masked man and Itachi Uchiha, her tone dissatisfied. "I remember Itachi has already forbidden the clan from holding any meetings in any sense for his inauguration ceremony, right?"
"…"
The masked man was choked for a moment, then calmly said, "Lord Shisui just told me to pick a random pretext to invite Lord Itachi over, because the matter is of great importance… And it is truly inconvenient for Lord Shisui to leave the shrine…"
"For Shisui to even send out you from the Cultivation Class to find someone, it must be something important…" Izumi Uchiha stared at the silent Itachi Uchiha and suddenly said, "I'll go with him!"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
What kind of organization is the Cultivation Class?!
It sounds like this Cultivation Class's identity is very important. Even Izumi is faintly afraid of it. Could it be something like the ANBU or Root?
The crow-masked man was extremely easy to negotiate with. He nodded. "…That is also fine. Lord Shisui's order was that whoever is with Lord Itachi right now may be invited to the Naka Shrine as well…"
There seemed to be nothing wrong with this sentence…
But considering that Kisame had gone to see Shisui last night, alarm bells rang in Itachi's heart. Shisui must have discovered a flaw!
Kisame was a rogue ninja in the other ninja world; how could he possibly play the role of a high-ranking official from the Hidden Mist Village here!
Itachi Uchiha thought for a second, then said, "Then you can wait for me at the Naka Shrine. I have something to do and need to see the envoy from the Hidden Mist Village first…"
He had to use the identity of this world's Itachi Uchiha, the Fifth Hokage, to escape with Kisame Hoshigaki!
"Lord Itachi, Lord Kisame was invited by Lord Shisui last night and stayed overnight at the Naka Shrine…"
The crow-masked man blocked Itachi's path, revealing a pair of mesmerizing eyes. He continued calmly, "There is no need for Lord Itachi to make a trip in vain. You should… understand what I mean, right?"
The rogue ninja from the other world hesitated and nodded. This was pretty much a direct accusation that he was an impostor. Itachi Uchiha cursed his partner over and over in his heart.
After he had returned home last night, in the presence of his family who knew him so intimately, he hadn't revealed a single flaw, and he had even had a warm breakfast with his family this morning!
Is this guy Kisame even a ninja?! He just made one trip to the Naka Shrine and was found out, and then he was captured by Shisui's men after returning to the inn!
No wonder you can only be a rogue ninja in your lifetime!
