Chapter 107: Uchiha Itachi Arrives (1/10)
Yuto raised his head again, looking in the direction of the Hidden Leaf gate, which was currently being obscured by a thick fog.
"I didn't expect Zabuza and his group to actually charge right in through the main gate; they are truly arrogant, but... I like it!"
"How is Zabuza and their current situation?"
Yuto looked at Ranmaru beside him and asked curiously.
"Lord Yuto, although Zabuza Senpai and the others only have three people, they are not in any danger; on the contrary, because there are few of them, the many ninjas of the Hidden Leaf are somewhat restrained."
"Furthermore, the village's forces have arrived and are continuously joining the battle."
Ranmaru opened his large eyes emitting a faint red glow and hurriedly spoke to Yuto.
"Oh, who is leading this Mist Ninja force?"
Yuto asked with interest; although the general plan was arranged by him, Yuto left all the details to Terumi Mei.
"It is Ao Senpai." Ranmaru blinked his eyes and giggled.
So it was him!
Yuto nodded, not particularly surprised; it was indeed very appropriate for Terumi Mei to entrust this matter to Ao.
Although Yuto had been sitting on the Hokage Rock, he had an almost complete understanding of the current situation of the entire battlefield.
The battle between both sides had entered a white-hot stage; facing the combined attack of two ninja villages, relying solely on the Hokage's lineage and the ninjas of the civilian lineage was completely insufficient to support the battlefield before them.
From the very beginning, this battle was advantageous for the Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja; after all, this battle was taking place within the territory of the Hidden Leaf Village.
The longer the time dragged on, the greater the destruction to the Hidden Leaf, and the more disadvantageous it would be for the Hidden Leaf.
I am afraid that at this time, Danzo as well as the heads of the various great clans were all preparing to intervene in this battle.
If they did not make a move soon, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi had a good temper, he would probably not be able to avoid settling scores afterwards.
"This is still not enough; we need to continue adding fuel to the fire."
Yuto looked down at the entire Hidden Leaf and said with a light laugh.
Just as Yuto was preparing to make a move, a look of nervousness suddenly appeared on the small face of Ranmaru, who was standing to the side.
"Lord Yuto, Ranmaru senses a dangerous aura..."
Ranmaru hurriedly spoke to Yuto, but halfway through his words, his voice paused slightly, and he hurriedly continued:
"They are coming in this direction!"
They?
An interesting expression appeared on Yuto's face; after a brief thought, he knew who Ranmaru was referring to as "they."
Not much time passed.
Soft sounds like bells colliding came from the direction behind.
Two men wearing bamboo hats and black robes with red clouds slowly appeared within Yuto's field of vision.
Uchiha Itachi! Hoshigaki Kisame!
Yuto remained sitting on the stone statue of Hashirama Senju, looking down at the Hidden Leaf below, his legs naturally dangling and swinging casually.
Regarding the sudden appearance of Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, it was as if he did not see them at all.
On the other hand, Ranmaru, standing beside Yuto, saw the two appear and nervously clenched his small hands together.
Evidently, Ranmaru was a little afraid of the two, one with a shark face and the other with a poker face.
Itachi and Kisame stopped when there was still some distance between them and Yuto.
Reaching out to remove the hat from his head, Itachi revealed his eyes and looked down at the Hidden Leaf, which had fallen into the flames of war.
Although Itachi's expression remained calm, a trace of faint sadness flashed in his eyes.
It seemed to be mourning for himself, or perhaps mourning why the Hidden Leaf suffered so many disasters.
Compared to Itachi, Kisame standing beside him looked at Ranmaru, evidently recognizing the brat who threw the note on the ground at that time.
However, Kisame merely swept his gaze over him and then withdrew it; he did not even look in Yuto's direction.
"You should not be sitting on the top of Lord Hashirama Senju's stone statue."
"In this world, there should probably be no one with that qualification."
Itachi withdrew his gaze, looked in Yuto's direction, and spoke with a cold tone.
As Itachi spoke, Ranmaru standing beside Yuto showed an unhappy expression, glaring with big eyes and looking angrily at Itachi.
As if as long as Itachi said one more word that was unfriendly to Lord Yuto, Ranmaru would directly take action.
"Brat, you're staring so wide with your eyes; are you planning for me to gouge them out?"
Kisame on one side let out a sinister laugh.
Hearing Itachi's words, Yuto had no feelings at all; instead, he felt that Itachi's thinking was truly quite unique.
Under Itachi's gaze, Yuto raised one foot and stepped on Hashirama Senju's stone statue, saying with a bored face:
"Just because you don't have the qualification, it doesn't mean others don't have the qualification."
This is a person who is very confident in himself!
Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yuto, and suddenly said, "You should be in charge of all the Mist Ninja forces, so I hope you can stop the Mist Ninja's attack."
A look of surprise appeared on Yuto's face for the first time, and he turned his head to look at Itachi.
That Itachi could guess that he was a person of the Mist Village did not surprise Yuto much, or perhaps he simply did not care.
What truly made Yuto surprised was that Itachi was actually able to guess that he could control all the Mist Ninja forces, which was indeed unexpected for Yuto.
However, if one thought about it carefully, it was actually not that hard to guess.
Being a Mist Ninja, not fighting with the Hidden Leaf ninjas, but appearing here instead, was in itself a rather suspicious matter.
After a while, seeing that Yuto had no intention of speaking.
Itachi's face did not show any look of surprise: "In that case, then I can only capture you."
Accompanying Itachi's words, Ranmaru's small face suddenly turned completely red; he was clearly angry!
To Ranmaru, disrespect toward Lord Yuto meant battle.
Ranmaru reached into his bosom, took out a scroll, and slapped it forcefully; the Explosive Blade: Splashes appeared directly in mid-air.
Thud!
With a dull sound, Ranmaru's body expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming before the Explosive Blade: Splashes even hit the ground.
Grabbing the Explosive Blade: Splashes, Ranmaru stomped the ground violently, his whole body turning into an afterimage and disappearing from the spot.
The violent aura caused a rare trace of surprise to flash in the eyes of Kisame and Itachi.
They both knew that Ranmaru was a ninja, but the fact that Ranmaru's body could undergo such a huge change surprised the two of them.
In the blink of an eye, Ranmaru appeared in front of Itachi, raised the Explosive Blade: Splashes in his hand, and slashed down forcefully.
However, before the Explosive Blade: Splashes completely fell, Ranmaru's hand holding the blade had already stopped in mid-air, and he muttered in a low voice, "This one is fake; he is on the left."
