Capítulo 378: Chapter 378: Brief Battle
"Yakushi Yu?!"
Seeing the person who suddenly appeared in front of them, all the ninjas present couldn't help but exclaim, calling out this name.
Only Kurenai, looking at Yu who had suddenly appeared to save her, had her charming face flush with a rosy color, her mood becoming much lighter.
"I didn't expect you would be in Konoha..."
Looking at Yu who had suddenly appeared in front of him, Itachi's previously expressionless face instantly turned extremely grave. It seemed that their mission in Konoha would not be so simple this time...
"Caw, Caw, Caw..."
As he spoke, Itachi, who had been grabbed by the ankle by Yu, suddenly transformed into countless scattering crows. While screeching in the air, they reassembled into his form next to Kisame.
This is a technique where one projects their Chakra onto dozens of crows and transforms into clones. Since this Clone Jutsu uses crows as a medium, it consumes less Chakra compared to the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
"Crow Clones, huh..."
"It seems that you've taken good care of the crows Shisui entrusted to you..."
Seeing Itachi, whom he had grabbed by the ankle, transform into crows and dissipate, Yu remained unfazed and instead murmured softly as he watched the countless crows scattering and flying around.
Shisui...
Hearing Yu mention this name, Itachi's crimson, eerie eyes slightly trembled, revealing a trace of undeniable agitation.
"Yakushi Yu? So this white-haired guy is the legendary Scarlet Yu?!"
"Didn't the rumors say that you had left Konoha? Why are you still stepping in to help these Konoha people?!"
Listening to the conversation between Yu and Itachi, Kisame on the opposite side finally confirmed the identity of the handsome, white-haired young ninja before him. He couldn't help but grip his Greatsword Samehada more tightly, his gaze growing wary.
After all, even aside from the impressive feats that had once shocked the ninja world, a ninja capable of defeating Konan, Sasori of the Red Sand, and Juzo alone was certainly worthy of Kisame's intense attention.
And Kisame knew very well that it was precisely because Biwa Juzo, one of the previous generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmens of the Mist, had died at the hands of this person that he had, by chance, been selected by the masked man claiming to be Uchiha Madara and subsequently joined the Akatsuki Organization.
"Kisame, is it?"
"I suppose it's time you updated your intel and the Akatsuki's. Didn't you know that Kurenai is my girlfriend?"
Facing the grave and wary gazes of Kisame and Itachi, Yu merely chuckled lightly, his eyes flickering momentarily toward Kurenai, causing her already flushed face to turn even redder.
"But don't get the wrong idea..."
"I'm not here to help Konoha. I just came to catch up with Itachi."
After teasing Kurenai, Yu suddenly shifted his tone, his amber eyes carrying a hint of depth as he looked at the silent Itachi beside Kisame.
Catch up with Itachi?
Hearing what Yu said, Kisame instinctively thought there might be some grudge between him and Itachi from their time in Konoha. His heart skipped a beat.
After all, the person standing in front of him and Itachi right now was likely one of the most dangerous opponents in the world.
"You don't need to be so tense. I really just came to have a chat with Itachi."
Seeing Kisame, who was on guard and ready to strike with his Greatsword, Yu couldn't help but show a wry smile.
"I've heard that Jinpachi Munashi, Fuguki Suikazan, and Biwa Juzo from the previous generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmens of the Mist all died because of you."
"And recently, that brat Kurosuki Raiga also fell at your hands. This Greatsword Samehada was inherited from my former boss Fuguki Suikazan, so let me see for myself the power of the ninja who is said to be able to fight a thousand alone!"
As he spoke, Kisame had already unwrapped all the white bandages on Samehada, revealing its deep blue blade covered in menacing barbs. It seemed almost alive, with its mouth opening wide and its long tongue extending out.
So this is the Samehada, one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist...
Unlike Kurenai and Asuma behind him, who were astonished, Yu's calm and serene gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Samehada wielded by Kisame. He couldn't help but think of the Severed Sword: Executioner's Blade and the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama's Sword of the Thunder God, which he had stored in the Kaio's alternate space.
Originally, Samehada was a small fish that accompanied the Three-Tails Isobu. It was responsible for helping the Three-Tails absorb and consume Chakra, sticking to Isobu's belly to clean up residual matter and extracting food from inside Isobu to refine large amounts of Chakra, which it then sent back into Isobu's body.
The power of Samehada lies in its ability to extract five times the normal amount of Chakra from food. The Chakra stored within Samehada continuously flows into Isobu during battles.
In combat, Samehada can absorb an opponent's Chakra for Kisame's use. It can also stimulate cell regeneration in his body using the large amount of Chakra stored in Samehada, and even merge with Kisame to become a powerful fish-man hybrid, granting immense strength.
"Let me handle this, Kisame. Your moves are too flashy..."
As the battle was about to erupt, Itachi suddenly waved Kisame back and stepped in front of Yu. "This is Konoha... If we drag this out too long, we'll soon be surrounded by large numbers of experts."
After speaking, Itachi's crimson, eerie Sharingan slightly closed. When he opened them again, they had transformed into the shuriken-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Itachi?!"
At the same time, Kakashi, who had arrived a bit late, hurriedly made his way to the scene and was just in time to witness Itachi activate his unusual Mangekyō Sharingan. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Compared to Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, which can invade an opponent's mind and control them without them even noticing..."
"Itachi, your Tsukuyomi requires direct eye contact to pull the enemy into the Genjutsu space. It seems it's still lacking a bit..."
A fierce battle seemed inevitable, but just then, Yu's somewhat playful voice suddenly broke the brief silence.
The voice was not loud, but it deeply shocked Itachi and Kisame, the top experts within the Akatsuki Organization, causing them to break out in cold sweat.
The reason for their shock was that Yu's voice came from right next to their ears.
In the astonished gazes of Itachi and Kisame, they saw that Yu, who had just been standing across from them, had somehow appeared between them without their noticing!
With a mysterious smile on his lips, Yu lightly closed his eyes, completely ignoring Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan. One hand seemed to affectionately rest on Itachi's shoulder, while the other firmly held down the shuriken that Itachi was about to throw from his black cloak adorned with red clouds.
This guy... so fast!!
Not only Itachi and Kisame, but even Kurenai and Asuma, as well as the arriving Kakashi and Guy, were deeply shocked by Yu's ghostly speed!
