My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 120: The Battle That Ended in One Second

After leaving the sight of the Hidden Cloud ninjas, Uchiha Itachi landed with them in the forest, his black feathered wings gradually retracting.

"This is?"

"I can't maintain Sage Mode for long; I must conserve chakra. The Cloud ninjas will catch up soon."

Uchiha Itachi was the only combatant in this rough-and-tumble little squad. Ensuring his own combat effectiveness was a must, and he also needed to protect the drunk Tsunade and Shizune.

Under the pursuit of the Fourth Raikage, the escape level was... difficult.

If Tsunade were awake, the difficulty might quickly drop to normal. If Kitahara were awake, the difficulty would certainly drop to a beginner's tutorial or something...

Of course, it was also possible that more people would intervene.

Within the Land of Hot Water.

"Wow, wow, wow! The Fourth Raikage versus the number one master of the Uchiha! How exciting!"

The mysterious Masked Man hopped and skipped around the destroyed inn. It was unclear whether he was mocking or praising.

The Venus flytrap-like Zetsu popped its head out, "Obito, this could be a great opportunity to get rid of Uchiha Itachi and that crow..."

"Yah, yah, yah... Yeah, so..." The holes in the mask revealed three tomoe, captivatingly so. His voice also changed from frivolous to gloomy, "Didn't we find a way to send Konan?"

Zetsu was somewhat worried, "Kakuzu is dead, and we're already short-handed. If Konan also dies at this time..."

Uchiha Obito played with the teacup in his hand and chuckled lightly, "It doesn't matter! If Konan is killed by that crow and Uchiha Itachi, who else can our leader listen to?"

"..."

"That woman has never trusted me! Her influence on Nagato is too great. This time she's acting alone. She must not be allowed to return to the organization alive!"

The Venus flytrap Zetsu, after hearing his analysis and decision, looked a bit troubled. It felt the plan might be ruined by Obito.

A small organization didn't have many members to begin with. Kakuzu and his partner were dead without a complete corpse, and now he was plotting against Konan... Dammit, they hadn't even captured a single Tailed Beast, and he was already starting a power struggle!

Uchiha Obito said in a low voice, "Don't worry, we'll have new manpower soon. I've already found an honest and reliable person in the Hidden Mist Village."

"As long as you're happy."

The Venus flytrap didn't care much for all the scheming. It just hoped these people would honestly collect the Tailed Beasts according to the plan.

On the other side.

A chase had already come to an end.

The Fourth Raikage finally blocked Uchiha Itachi's path with his incomparable speed. His personal guards had also surrounded Tsunade and Shizune.

The Fourth Raikage was not reckless; he was asking for a favor, "I actually don't have any other intentions, I just want to ask Tsunade to help treat a patient!"

"You guys previously coveted Konoha's Byakugan..." Shizune was not afraid at all, her palms already filled with chakra.

"Shizune-nee!"

Uchiha Itachi stopped Shizune from speaking, looked at the Raikage, and said in a deep voice, "In peacetime, Lord Raikage can send a diplomatic note to Konoha, and the patient can be transferred to the Konoha Hospital."

"..."

The Fourth Raikage scratched his head. You've already learned to speak like a bureaucrat at such a young age, do you even act like a ninja?

"The patient's identity is rather special, and Tsunade is very close to the Land of Lightning. There's no need for that much trouble, right?"

"I have already simplified the procedures as much as possible," Uchiha Itachi spouted nonsense with a straight face.

"If a high-ranking official from your Konoha was injured, would you send him to another ninja village for treatment?"

Uchiha Itachi glanced at Tsunade and said softly, "No need, because we in Konoha have the best medical ninja in the world."

"..."

The Fourth Raikage continued to scratch his head. How was he supposed to continue this conversation?

"What if Lady Tsunade herself is willing?"

A Cloud ninja guard spoke up. He looked at Uchiha Itachi and introduced himself, "I am a medical ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village. I know that most medical ninjas have a benevolent heart."

Uchiha Itachi went with the flow, "Then we can wait for Lady Tsunade to wake up and let her decide for herself."

Mm, as long as we can stall until Tsunade wakes up...

The Fourth Raikage reacted in an instant, leaning down close to the youth, "Kid, you're stalling for time, aren't you?"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi gripped the ninja sword in his hand tightly…

He really hadn't expected the Fourth Raikage's grasp of the situation to be so precise. Was he destined to only ever be able to fool his younger brother in this life?

The Fourth Raikage beckoned, signaling his subordinates to temporarily seize Tsunade and Shizune, "To prevent you from escaping…"

The conflict had already erupted. It was too difficult to amicably negotiate the result the Hidden Cloud Village wanted; it was better to use forceful means.

Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan lit up, the three tomoe spinning continuously, the Mangekyo abruptly forming…

"Caw!"

A crow's hoarse cry caught people's attention…

Kitahara patted its head with its wing. It had finally woken up from its hungover state. It scanned its surroundings, its head full of question marks…

However, the crow's body reacted instinctively. In almost the blink of an eye, it had already completed its transformation from a crow to a Daitengu!

That ugly thing, what does it think it's doing so close to my cub!

Several Cloud ninjas, before they could even react, were sent flying by a flap of its wings!

One sharp claw shot past Itachi's shoulder, tightly gripping the Fourth Raikage's throat, dragging him along the ground…

"Liger Bomb!"

With a flip of his palm, the Fourth Raikage also reached out, his chakra-enveloped hand gripping Kitahara's neck!

A small Tailed Beast Bomb condensed in the crow's beak…

The Fourth Raikage's eyes widened as he looked at the small, chakra-overflowing sphere in the crow's beak, "A Tailed Beast Bomb… how is that possible…"

As the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, he had suppressed the rampaging Eight-Tails numerous times and was all too familiar with the fluctuation of a Tailed Beast Bomb.

His arm twisted Kitahara's neck powerlessly. The Fourth Raikage could only choose to fulfill his final duty. He shouted loudly, "Flee quickly, let Killer Bee choose the Raikage! He understands my meaning!"

There was no choice. In this generation of the Hidden Cloud Village, apart from the A-B combination, there were no other outstanding talents. The little ones below, although some had talent, were too far from growing up.

The Tailed Beast Bomb grew larger and larger in the Raikage's eyes…

"Kitahara, stop for now!"

The situation had turned around too quickly…

Under Kitahara's sudden assault, the only thing Itachi could do was shout that one sentence. Even the Mangekyo Sharingan in his eyes had not yet receded.

Kitahara turned its head, easily breaking free from the Fourth Raikage's restraint. Its claw clenched, and a chakra-condensed fist smashed viciously into the enemy's body!

The Fourth Raikage spat out blood, feeling pain all over his body. He didn't know how many bones were broken, and his internal organs might also be damaged…

A small punishment to serve as a major warning…

Kitahara clenched its own claw. It hadn't been in vain that it had drunk so much with Tsunade last night. The Monstrous Strength Fist was really satisfying!
