My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 123: Dance of the Angel

Konan's figure fully emerged from the tree bark. A pair of wings made of paper formed, allowing her to hover in the air. The fine white paper on the wings spontaneously wrapped around her, "Paper Rain of a Thousand Needles!"

The moment Konan attacked, the entire ground became the attack range of the paper rain. The people below instantly scattered to dodge. A Cloud ninja, unable to dodge in time, was instantly pierced by the paper rain and died.

"Enemy attack!"

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"

"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!"

The youth spewed a torrent of water, which instantly transformed into a water wall upon hitting the ground, blocking the white paper. Other Cloud ninjas also used their own ninjutsu, taking turns to cover their comrades as they retreated with the Raikage.

Tsunade grabbed Shizune and placed her behind, her hands gathering chakra to quickly knock away the paper needles, "Itachi, what's the situation?"

"Preliminary conclusion, it should be a companion of someone we sent to the bounty station, here for revenge…" Uchiha Itachi noticed something strange among the falling paper needles and his hands quickly formed more seals, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Boom!

The paper rain, mixed with paper bombs, was detonated by the Fire Style ninjutsu!

The sound of the explosion groggily woke the slumbering crow. It stared blankly at Konan in the air. Since when was the Akatsuki responsible for avenging their internal members?

Kitahara lightly took flight, pouring its sage art chakra into Itachi's body. The youth's body was instantly liberated, "Sage Mode: Activate!"

"Lady Tsunade, Shizune-nee, stand further back!" Uchiha Itachi flapped his black wings and flew into the air. Facing Konan, the people below clearly couldn't be of much help.

"Caw!"

Don't be careless!

Kitahara gripped Itachi's clothes tightly, forming an energy ball in its mouth and shooting it towards the sky! Facing a spendthrift like Konan who used paper bombs like copper coins, the possibility of failure was very high!

The energy ball shot by Kitahara quickly detonated the paper bombs Konan had mixed into the rain of paper needles, rushing towards her face!

Amidst the rise and fall of the explosion sounds, Uchiha Itachi replied loudly, "Just by seeing the peculiar secret technique she can use, I know carelessness will lead to death!"

"Paper Shield!"

The moment the energy ball made contact with the paper shield, it quickly detonated. Both Konan above and Uchiha Itachi flying towards the sky were pushed away by the shockwave!

Countless sheets of paper scattered and then reconverged in the air. Konan glanced at the blood on her arm and frowned, "What a strong ninja beast. Truly worthy of being Teacher Jiraiya's disciple…"

The energy ball had injured Konan, and Uchiha Itachi, charging head-on, did not escape either... He did his best to block the impact with his wings, and after landing, he only had a few more scrapes.

"Kitahara, why don't you leave it to me..." Uchiha Itachi stroked the somewhat guilty crow. The wings on his back spread again, a shuriken held in a reverse grip.

"Caw!"

The crow could only nod, glancing at Tsunade and the others who had also been knocked down by the energy ball's shockwave. In this forest, there was only one enemy, but there were three allies, and also that group of neutral creatures from the Hidden Cloud…

Even if it used physical attacks, it wouldn't have much effect on Konan.

It was less reliable than the youth's ancestral Fire Style…

Uchiha Itachi lightly took flight, throwing shuriken, covering his own attack, "Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson! Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

Countless sheets of white paper continuously generated from Konan's hands, fluttering and scattering in all directions…

Some white paper formed shields to block the Fire Style ninjutsu, while more white paper enveloped towards Uchiha Itachi.

The white paper floated densely around Itachi. With just one command from Konan, they would swarm towards Itachi. Not to mention whether they could envelop Itachi's body, there were definitely her private goods mixed in—paper bombs.

"Dance of the Shikigami!"

"If only I could use Teacher Jiraiya's toad oil…" Uchiha Itachi looked at the continuously splitting white paper on Konan's body and couldn't help but sigh.

Because oil has a certain viscosity, it could make Konan form a solid body, unable to turn into paper.

"Caw?"

In the chaotic battle, Kitahara tilted its head. If you don't want the big wings on your back, we can dismantle them and roast them to eat!

Given that the Great Crow Sage was right beside him, Itachi could only swallow his previous words, "No need for toad oil, there are other ways…"

"Water Style: Water Tornado!"

A tall, thin water tornado formed around Itachi, drawing in the white paper by his side, the rotating impact turning the paper into pulp…

While flying towards Konan, Uchiha Itachi manipulated the height of the water tornado, drawing in the white paper along the way.

"Is his chakra that abundant... No, it's that crow providing him with chakra! Paper Shuriken!"

Konan's brow furrowed slightly. If this continued, her chakra would definitely be exhausted first... A paper shuriken was generated and shot fiercely towards Kitahara's position!

Deal with the summoned beast first!

Just as the paper shuriken was about to hit Kitahara, Uchiha Itachi didn't even turn his head, continuing to manipulate the water tornado's movement…

The crow suddenly thrust its head forward, opened its mouth, and caught the paper shuriken, cawing smugly, "Caw!"

A work of art…

Relying on the cub's Talk-no-Jutsu, I probably won't get Konan's paper flower, so a paper shuriken will have to do... Compared to other people's works of art, Konan's things are still quite normal.

Of course, more importantly, every intact sheet of paper would be retrieved by Konan, and this paper shuriken was no exception…

Kitahara quietly left a crow-shaped seal on the paper shuriken and, with a flick of its head, threw it down.

Uchiha Itachi looked helplessly at the cheerfully playing crow, the wings on his back accelerating as he soared... The white paper blocking his path had been swept away by the Water Style ninjutsu. The distance to Konan…

Body Flicker Technique!

Uchiha Itachi suddenly accelerated, appearing by Konan's side. His ninja sword slashed through Konan's body, splashing a large amount of paper scraps!

However, before he could release a ninjutsu, Konan's body once again turned into origami, re-forming not far away, "I think before you make a move, you should carefully look at your surroundings..."

"Although there wasn't time to arrange more paper bombs, these should be enough..."

The bark of two giant trees in the forest suddenly peeled off... No... it wasn't real bark, but a dense mass of paper bombs disguised as such!

Hundreds of thousands, or even more…

Once they exploded, with the power of such a chain explosion, everyone in this area would find it hard to escape death.

Konan smiled at her masterpiece, "Paper Person of God Technique, this is the first time I'm officially using it..."

"Hmm, have I been outwitted?"

Itachi frowned. It seemed that after Konan was injured by the energy ball, she began to use the opportunity of paper splitting to disguise a large tree with paper bombs.

"That's right."

A gentle breeze blew past, the paper flower on Konan's head swaying with the wind, "If you're willing to surrender and be captured, I can let the others here go..."

Uchiha Itachi was silent, "..."

"Don't think about stalling. You only have three seconds to consider. Otherwise, everyone here will be buried with you, and Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village will start a new war..."

Konan didn't want to give Uchiha Itachi too much time to think. Even after many experiments, this was the first time the Paper Person of God Technique was being officially used; she couldn't guarantee someone could break it.

However, she also somewhat coveted the good old days. Uchiha Itachi was Jiraiya's disciple, and he seemed very suitable for the Akatsuki. As long as he underwent some washing... education, he could become one of them…

Coincidentally, the priority choice given by Pain was also capture.

It was simply too perfect!

Even if she had to abandon everyone in the organization now, in exchange for Uchiha Itachi's joining, Konan was very willing…

After all, those guys all had their eyes on the top of their heads; their obedience was only gained through Pain's power.

If there was a chance to form a 'Jiraiya' squad like before, and they once again strive together to achieve peace in the ninja world... moreover, the candidate was a youth suitable for teaching!

Thinking of this, Konan added, "We won't hurt you... If you have any conditions you want, you can state them all here."

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Kitahara: "..."

Seeing that both sides were about to get red-eyed, putting aside the bizarre idea of Konan suddenly trying to recruit them mid-battle, the most crucial thing was, why did everyone always have their eyes on the cub it raised?
