Chapter 98 Brothers reunited, Itachi’s confusion
There was silence in the air.

All the birds and insects in the forest disappeared.

Sasuke looked directly at Itachi, who was very close at hand, and was about to exert force with his arms.

At this moment, a big knife suddenly swept over. Sasuke tilted his head slightly, and the blade was less than five centimeters away from his eyes.

brush!
The next second, the long knife was swung in the air and rolled up a few fallen leaves.

Sasuke's figure disappeared.

"Tch, running so fast - is it a time and space ninjutsu?"

Loquat Juuzang curled his lips and put away his beheading sword.

Itachi didn't speak, but silently turned his head to look in the other direction.

Sasuke's figure was standing on a big tree at some point, looking down at the two people below.

"Itachi, you came here with a helper. Are you afraid that if you face me alone, you might accidentally lose to me?"

Sasuke's tone returned to calmness, and the long sword was slung behind his back, as if it had not been unsheathed at all.

"Or do you think this kind of trash can interfere in the fight between you and me?"

"Hey, kid, do you want to die immediately if you dare to say such things?"

Loquat Juuzang had a sinister smile on his face and exuded a dangerous aura.

"Sasuke."

Itachi, who had been silent since his appearance, finally spoke.

"What happened to you?"

"What happened to me? Itachi, you should know this kind of thing very well. Or, in order to collect intelligence for Konoha, you lurked in that unknown dangerous organization and were willing to be a dog for the Third Hokage, but the Third Hokage didn't Will I tell you my information as soon as possible?"

Sasuke said with full of malice.

Not only did he mock Itachi wantonly, but he also directly raised Itachi's reputation.

Loquat Juuzang was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Itachi beside him.

"Itachi, what this brat said..."

Itachi didn't answer.

He was staring at Sasuke, as if he could determine the cause of the changes in Sasuke.

Sasuke returned the stern look.

The air became more solemn.

Loquat Juuzang frowned and subconsciously took two steps back.

tread--

A footstep that was so slight that it could not be caught without paying full attention suddenly sounded behind him, and Loquat Juuzang suddenly drew his knife and turned around.

Clang!
"Want to run? It's not that easy."

Sasuke is much smaller than Loquat Juzo, but he is constantly pressing the knife towards the opponent at this moment.

"Kid, although your strength is pretty good, don't underestimate me!"

Loquat Juzo grinned, revealing a mouth of sharp teeth.

"Really? Then are you looking down on my eyes a little too much?"

Sasuke chuckled.

Loquat Juuzang subconsciously looked into his eyes.

Then I saw that familiar scarlet color.

"What, how did you..."

puff!

A kunai stabbed into Loquat Juzo's throat from the side.

He covered his neck, took two steps back suddenly, and looked at Itachi beside him in disbelief.

Itachi stood there without moving, only there was a kunai in his left hand, which was dripping with blood. Sasuke was still sitting on the big rock and hadn't moved.

Everything just now was just a battle of illusions, but Loquat Shi was hiding under two pairs of kaleidoscopes, but he didn't notice anything strange at all.

It wasn't until the kunai pierced his throat and the sharp pain hit his brain that he got rid of the control of the genjutsu.

"Why……"

He looked at Itachi in disbelief.

He respects Itachi very much, and the two of them have been working well together during this period. He never expected that Itachi would suddenly attack him...

"Sasuke's information must not be leaked. I'm sorry, Juuzang. I asked you not to follow me before."

"Ha ha……"

Loquat Juuzang gave a bitter smile, covered his neck and took two steps back, leaned against a big tree, and slowly slid to the ground.

He wasn't dead yet, but he wouldn't live much longer. His trachea was severed, so death would be a matter of time.

Itachi looked away and looked at Sasuke again.

"Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke, your growth rate has exceeded my expectations..."

He focused on Sasuke's eyes.

It was a pair of eyes completely different from Itachi's, but equally powerful.

This far exceeded Itachi's expectations.

According to his idea, after the night of genocide, Sasuke should grow up peacefully under the protection of Konoha.

With hatred for himself, he worked hard to become stronger. When the time was right, he would use his life to push Sasuke so that he would have the strength to be proud of the ninja world.

However, what Itachi didn't expect was that Sasuke's growth trajectory was completely out of his control from the day the entire Uchiha clan died.

First, he dropped out of the ninja school, not wanting to be a ninja anymore; then, he successfully proposed to the daimyo and transformed into a real nobleman of the Land of Fire.

In the past, Uchiha could barely be called a noble, but this was just an internal ninja saying.

But if you look at the ninja world, the political power of each country, that is, the government system represented by the daimyo, does not recognize this kind of military "nobility".

Including the wealthy families such as Hinata, from the perspective of daimyo, they can be regarded as wealthy and famous families at best.

Sasuke now takes a step further, but this is not what Itachi wants to see.

It would be even more outrageous after that.

Sasuke has successively established the Uchiha Museum and the Uchiha Security Company, and recently he directly presided over the deepening of cooperation between the two countries. This kind of thing is far beyond Itachi's cognition.

It's true that he didn't get the information the first time, but he didn't blame the third generation.

In his opinion, since he was an undercover agent in Akatsuki, even if the third generation had any information, it could not be easily delivered to him. So he originally thought that as long as Sasuke's safety was not a problem, he would accept it even if the information only came out once every three to five years.

However, not long ago, he got information about Sasuke from within Akatsuki.

When Pain said Sasuke's name, Itachi's heart stopped for several seconds.

Fortunately, Payne's next words made him sigh in relief.

Payne did not regard Sasuke as an enemy, nor did he have any bad plans. It was just that as the actual manager of the Rain Country, Payne paid more attention to the changes in the situation of the entire ninja world than others. It was difficult for him not to notice such big things happening in the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind.

The reason why I have to say it in front of Itachi is because the protagonist of the story has some relationship with him.

Itachi was very happy to know that Sasuke was alive and well; but when he heard what Sasuke was doing now, he was a little confused.

He does not have the overall view of the entire ninja world. His greatest expectation for Sasuke is to help him become a strong man and then continue to protect Konoha Village.

But Sasuke jumped out of this shackles and entered a wider world, which made Itachi a little overwhelmed.

He instinctively wanted to see how Sasuke was doing, which led to today's very unexpected meeting.

Sasuke didn't really see Itachi with his Byakugan, he wasn't that free yet.

It was because Itachi was too close, and Tianzhi was aware of it and captured Tsukuyomi's mental space. Then Sasuke used Kagura's Heart Eye to capture Itachi's chakra fluctuations, and then truly locked his position.

"So, what do you want to say? Compliment me for my extraordinary qualifications? Or praise you for your good vision?"

Sasuke jumped down from the big rock, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and stood opposite Itachi.
