My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 122: The Teacher's Disciple... Wait, Why Are You Good at Genjutsu?

The silent forest became a little more clamorous.

Swarms of origami butterflies flew past, startling the birds and beasts of the forest. After letting out a few soft cries, they buried their heads again... There was a crow in the depths of the forest, a very dangerous one…

After Konan entered the forest, a spatial vortex formed where she had just been, and the body of the mysterious Masked Man materialized.

"Obito, no one in the organization told Konan about Uchiha Itachi possessing the Mangekyo Sharingan. And besides that crow and the Fourth Raikage, no matter who she encounters, her chances of survival are very small..."

The information Zetsu provided to Konan was missing a lot. There were quite a few dangerous individuals in there. Once Konan got close, it could be said to be a certain-death situation for her.

The Masked Man shook his head, "Have your clone keep an eye on Konan. Don't be careless. If she escapes, we'll deal with her immediately."

"There's another problem. Exposing the existence of the Akatsuki like this, is it really okay?" Black Zetsu felt a little uneasy. When it wasn't absolutely sure, it preferred to be cautious.

The three-tomoe Sharingan in the mask's eye-hole glared at Zetsu, saying coldly, "I'm not like that old fellow who died in a cave... Besides, my identity has already been exposed because of that crow! Revealing the Akatsuki can also attract their attention."

"If Konan dies, Nagato will also desperately go to collect the Tailed Beasts..."

"After killing Konan, we can also try to ambush and kill the Fourth Raikage. I've brought a powerful helper! When the Shinobi World War breaks out, with a little prodding from us, they will definitely dispatch the Jinchuriki..."

"The more chaotic the ninja world is, the greater our opportunity."

Hearing Obito's words, Black Zetsu inexplicably felt that this matter was logical. After pondering for a moment, it agreed with Obito's approach, "Sounds very good. As long as we can realize Lord Madara's ideal and complete the 'Eye of the Moon' plan... Heh heh heh... we can eliminate all wars and create a new world."

"At that time, I will be able to see you... Rin." Uchiha Obito looked down at his own palm and murmured, "Time passes so quickly. It's been a long time since I went to see her..."

White Zetsu said in a panic, "Obito, calm down! Because of Orochimaru digging up bodies, the defense at the Konoha Memorial Stone is very tight!"

"That half-baked Edo Tensei... can't even control anyone slightly powerful, and he still has the nerve to ask us for intelligence on strong individuals!"

"Give it to him!" Uchiha Obito said loudly, nonchalantly fiddling with the chains in his hand, "Didn't he say he has intelligence on another Zetsu?"

"How can there be another Zetsu in this world!"

The lips under the mask curled, "What if, there is another will in this world?"

"Absolutely impossible! The only one who could give birth to a will is Mother... Mada-ra!" Black Zetsu's tone changed. After a moment of silence, it said calmly, "Obito, we must speed up."

It wasn't necessarily the only will-incarnate in this world. It couldn't be ruled out that others had left something behind...

"Isn't that what I'm doing right now!"

Obito shook his head, a stream of water spouting from his eyes, "Hey, hey, hey, water's getting in, water's getting in, water's getting in... What's Yagura doing? It's rare that I take him out for some air, and the space is filled with water..."

Black Zetsu: "..."

It wondered if... it had put its trust in the wrong person?

In the depths of the forest.

The origami butterflies in the woods quietly turned into paper and stuck to a tree. Konan's face slowly formed, and she leaned against the tree, looking down at the crowd below... She knew that guy named Zetsu was up to no good!

Just how fierce that blonde twin-tailed woman was, Konan had seen from afar during her battle with Hanzo when she was young. And... she had also heard that Tsunade was the strongest woman in the ninja world.

In those days Konan missed the most…

A white-haired man, after the Second Shinobi World War, encountered three wandering orphans. He didn't agree with his sinister and cunning companion's suggestion to kill them, but instead stayed behind, teaching them how to live, how to learn ninjutsu...

In his leisure time, the person the white-haired man mentioned most was Tsunade... Konan unconsciously showed a nostalgic smile. So this was the woman Teacher Jiraiya liked!

Tsunade no longer had her heroic spirit of the past, looking very lazy. Her posture was extremely ungraceful. Apart from her figure being slightly better than most women in the ninja world, she had nothing else going for her…

No wonder she never managed to win over Teacher Jiraiya...

Still single at such an old age ╮(╯▽╰)╭…

Beside Tsunade sat... Konan's gaze swept past Shizune and landed on another delicate-looking youth. He should be Uchiha Itachi... This level of looks, it kind of met her standards for recruiting people for the organization!

He seemed very loving, just that the pet he kept was a bit peculiar…

Uchiha Itachi was carefully covering a crow with a small blanket. For Kitahara, it was now nap time.

On the other side were the Cloud ninja guards sitting around the Fourth Raikage. Those who didn't know would have thought they were holding a memorial service... Konan immediately analyzed the situation based on the bandages wrapped around the Raikage. A conflict had broken out, and the Fourth Raikage had been defeated.

A preliminary judgment suggested it was likely Tsunade's doing.

Konan closed her eyes. She already knew what she had to do. With the Fourth Raikage heavily injured, there was no need to bother with the Hidden Cloud Village's people. For now, she just needed to defeat Tsunade... This woman should be the strongest combatant in this team.

As for Uchiha Itachi... he was probably a little fellow running errands for Tsunade.

Konan made up her mind and opened her eyes, only to be stunned for a moment…

Uchiha Itachi, under the tree, had raised his head at some unknown time and was waving at her. The youth's eyes suddenly became blood-red, with three tomoe reflected in them!

Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!

Looking directly at the Sharingan, you're quite bold, young lady...

Konan's subconscious thought was a bit strange. This little brat absolutely shouldn't be Teacher Jiraiya's disciple. Since when was Teacher Jiraiya good at genjutsu!

She quickly realized her preconceived notion was wrong... This little brat's surname was Uchiha; how could he not be good at genjutsu!

Inside the genjutsu space.

Konan speechlessly looked at the giant copper nails piercing her four limbs, rendering her body immobile... She had been too careless!

The Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique was an ocular jutsu originating from the Sharingan. Unless an outsider disrupted the chakra, it was impossible to break free.

"The Sharingan, truly cannot be underestimated..."

Konan memorized this lesson. A mere Uchiha brat had such a terrifying genjutsu. And that person who called himself Uchiha Madara, how strong would his Sharingan genjutsu be?

What made Konan sad at the moment was that among the ninjutsu she had learned, there weren't many emergency countermeasures for genjutsu. Conventional methods like disrupting the chakra in her body were completely useless... because her teacher was indeed not good at genjutsu, though he had mentioned the power of the Sharingan's genjutsu.

The坑爹 (kēngdiē - lit. "screwing over one's father"; outrageous/deceptive) thing was, her teacher had taken on a junior disciple who was good at genjutsu and possessed the Sharingan.

Uchiha Itachi's body formed within the genjutsu space. The youth humbly explained, "It's just that you shouldn't look directly at it."

"So it was you who killed Kakuzu?"

"Pretty much! Although his death was an accident, it wasn't our intention..."

Uchiha Itachi nodded. If not for Tobirama Senju being too impulsive, their organization, which was always on the verge of bankruptcy, might have gained another person.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Konan's clothes, "Are you Kakuzu's companion? Are you here for revenge?"

"To eliminate anyone who might know the organization's intelligence is God's will!"

Konan's words drifted in the genjutsu space. Her body cracked inch by inch, turning into sheets of paper and breaking free from the copper nails. Fortunately, she still had someone else's chakra sensor on her, which could help her break the Sharingan genjutsu…
