"What's wrong with Kakashi?" Kurenai Yūhi was shocked.
"He's caught in a genjutsu, I'm afraid he won't be able to get up for a few days." Kaoru said calmly, then looked at Itachi: "This guy did it."
"So young and yet so powerful, so you are Uchiha Kaoru, who is known as the youngest Jōnin in Konoha. I would like to learn about your strength..." Itachi Uchiha looked at Kaoru coldly and said, acting as if he was seeing Uchiha Kaoru for the first time.
After admiring Itachi Uchiha's acting skills in his heart, Kaoru said to Kurenai Yūhi: "Teacher Kurenai, please take Kakashi to Konoha Hospital for treatment first, and ask for Anbu support by the way. I can handle Itachi Uchiha."
"But his genjutsu is very powerful, are you sure you can..." Kurenai Yūhi asked hesitantly.
"Teacher Kurenai, have you forgotten? I also have Sharingan!" Kaoru replied with a smile, although his Sharingan cannot be used temporarily...
"Then be careful, I'll be right back!" Hearing Kaoru say this, Kurenai Yūhi had no choice but to nod, then grabbed Kakashi's body and left immediately.
So only Itachi Uchiha and Kaoru were left in the field, as well as Kisame and Guy, who were fighting fiercely.
"Kaoru, can you do it alone? Do you need my support!" Guy, who was fighting Kisame, shouted at Kaoru.
"Is Itachi's opponent a kid from his clan? In that case, Itachi should be able to solve him quickly." Kisame said with a smile, trying to disrupt Guy's attention.
"Senior Guy, you should take care of yourself first." Kaoru said easily.
"Okay, Uchiha Kaoru..." Itachi looked at Kaoru and said indifferently, "I didn't kill you during the extermination of the clan, now let me make up for the mistakes at that time!"
After saying that, Itachi quickly formed hand seals in his sleeves: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A huge fireball with a diameter of two or three meters spewed out of Itachi's mouth, sticking to the water surface and attacking Kaoru.
"Too naive!" Kaoru moved his left finger slightly, and suddenly a stream of water surged to his front, forming a water wall to resist the fireball.
"Has he mastered single-handed hand seals?!" Itachi's pupils shrank slightly, and he moved his hands again.
"Water Release: Falling Rain Needles!"
The water below Kaoru suddenly condensed into thin needles, rising rapidly from the water.
"Huh?!" Kaoru immediately reacted, moved his body, and easily dodged the attack of the water needles.
"As expected of the youngest Jōnin in Konoha, it seems that ordinary ninjutsu is useless to you..." Itachi said slowly, then closed his eyes.
"Tsukuyomi!" Suddenly opening his eyes, the three tomoe in Itachi's eyes instantly connected together, forming the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Kaoru seemed to have completely not noticed this, and suddenly, he saw Itachi's eyes!
"Is Itachi going to use that trick again... It seems that this Uchiha kid is dead." Kisame glanced at the battle situation on Itachi's side and smiled lightly.
Soon, Kaoru's gaze came into contact with Itachi's eyes, and he only felt that everything around him suddenly changed. In an instant, he came to a dark place.
"Is this the mental world of Tsukuyomi? It's really a bit monotonous..." Even though he was caught in Itachi's Tsukuyomi, Kaoru still had a calm face.
Then, Itachi's figure appeared in this mental space.
"What's wrong with your eyes? Why are you covering one like Kakashi?" After Itachi appeared, he immediately asked, without any intention of torturing Kaoru like Kakashi.
Kaoru also confirmed this before letting Itachi use Tsukuyomi on him.
In fact, when the two first met, they both knew very well that Itachi was a spy of Konoha in Akatsuki. This time he came to investigate Sasuke's situation and did not intend to do anything to Konoha.
However, he was now a Konoha traitor on the surface, and he still had to act, so naturally he had to fight. Therefore, he and Kaoru deliberately fought for a while, and then opened Tsukuyomi, and Kaoru also cooperated and entered the genjutsu space of Tsukuyomi.
"When dealing with Orochimaru, I used the Sharingan too much, so I am temporarily blind." Kaoru replied.
"Orochimaru? He shouldn't be your opponent." Itachi said suspiciously.
"This matter is a long story..." Kaoru smiled and did not intend to continue to dwell on this topic.
"The purpose of your coming this time is Sasuke, right?"
"That's right, how is he now?" Itachi asked eagerly.
"Orochimaru put a cursed seal on him in order to get his body, and also prepared to take him away, but don't worry, Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan failed this time, so Sasuke is still safe and sound in Konoha Village. With Orochimaru's cursed seal, his strength has also improved a lot." Kaoru said.
"Is that so, then I'm relieved..." Itachi breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, Sasuke seems to be very eager for power. I can't guarantee that he will not leave Konoha Village by himself in the future to find Orochimaru." Kaoru added.
Hearing Kaoru's words, Itachi fell into deep thought.
"You are right, I know my brother. If that is the case, he will most likely go to find Orochimaru..." After a while, Itachi said.
"If that's the case, then it's up to you to decide what to do next." Kaoru said indifferently.
"It doesn't matter, let him go, he will only go to Orochimaru to become stronger. After becoming stronger, with the Sharingan, he will not be defeated by Orochimaru." Itachi said.
"You really dare to say that..." Kaoru muttered to himself. In the original work, if Orochimaru's hands had not been sealed by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, and his strength had been weakened, and his strength had declined again at the moment of reincarnation, it would be hard to say who would devour whom.
However, Kaoru thought about it and soon realized that he had not considered the protagonist halo factor. If the protagonist halo was added, even the biggest disadvantage could be reversed.
"By the way, I have a message to tell you." At this time, Itachi spoke again.
"What's the matter?" Kaoru asked.
"Uchiha Madara is very angry about your behavior. He originally thought that you would betray Konoha and follow him, but now you have become a hero of Konoha... Therefore, I guess he may put you on Akatsuki's wanted list. Although he has not done so now, you'd better pay attention." Itachi said.
"Is that so?" Kaoru touched his chin, then nodded: "No problem, I will pay attention."
Hearing that Akatsuki might attack him, Kaoru still felt that things were a bit difficult. It seemed that he had to restore his strength as soon as possible.
