"Hoo, you little brat, let's see if you still dare to be so flirtatious in the future!"
Shaking her slightly sore wrists, Kurenai exhaled a fragrant breath, looking at Naruto's mournful face.
"Kurenai-nee-san, did you have to be so intense? My butt's numb..."
Naruto was sprawled on Kurenai's lap, feeling that the area around his butt had lost all sensation, leaving only a tingling numbness.
"You deserve it, you little brat!"
Picking Naruto up, Kurenai supported his armpits with her arms, lifting him up to help him stand steadily on the ground.
"Kurenai-nee-san, I can't stand up, my legs are numb..."
As soon as Kurenai released her arms, Naruto lost his balance and fell into her embrace.
"Mmm, so fragrant..."
Feeling his face buried deeply in a soft, fragrant place, Naruto took a deep breath and rubbed his face contentedly.
"You wretched little pervert, get up at once!"
Kurenai was startled and quickly pulled Naruto up.
"It's not my fault."
Looking at Kurenai's angry face, Naruto mumbled in protest.
"Forget it, the punishment is over, let's just leave it at that."
Kurenai looked at Naruto, who still showed no sign of remorse, and decided not to dwell on it. After a soft sigh, she waved her hand at him.
"Kurenai-nee-san, I can't walk anymore. How about you help me rub them?"
Naruto shamelessly approached Kurenai's delicate figure.
"You brat, are you leaving or not?"
Kurenai glared at Naruto, her pretty face turning angry.
"Uh... I'm going, I'm going."
Instead of getting any advantage, he had only brought trouble upon himself, making Naruto feel like he had failed to steal a chicken and lost the rice as well.
"Phew, such a clingy little pervert..."
Watching Naruto's back, Kurenai's lips curved into a strange smile.
"Haku, let's go."
Walking out of the small path, Naruto came to Haku's side and held her cold little hand, smiling.
"Yes."
Haku nodded softly. Her small hand, held by Naruto, began to warm up quickly, even sweating in her palm.
"Itachi, what should we do next?"
Sitting in a teahouse and pulling down his hat to cover his face, Kisame Hoshigaki asked Itachi in a low voice, who was sitting opposite him with his right hand holding a teacup.
"We won't touch the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox for now. We don't have the strength."
Itachi tapped the unadorned finger on his ring-bearing hand lightly against the tabletop.
"So, what can we do now?"
Kisame Hoshigaki's tone was laced with impatience.
"Kisame, don't be rash."
Itachi cautioned Kisame Hoshigaki, then calmly uttered four words, "Wait and see!"
"Lightning Release: Chidori Current!"
"Chhh-chhh…"
With his body emanating Chidori, Sasuke activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, panting as he stared at the heavily scarred wooden stake in front of him.
"This much isn't enough..."
The lightning surrounding Sasuke gradually dissipated, and the Sharingan deactivated instantly; he was clearly nearing his limit.
"Naruto..."
The image of Naruto holding up a ten-meter Rasengan flashed in his mind. Sasuke gritted his teeth, his expression slowly becoming resolute.
"Sharingan! Lightning Release: Chidori Current!"
"Chirp..."
Lightning surged from his body once more. Sasuke's expression was slightly contorted, obviously struggling to maintain it.
Chidori! Boom!
"Hoo, hoo..."
Sasuke gasped, looking at the ravaged ground. He finally couldn't hold on and collapsed to the ground, finding it difficult to even move a finger.
"Damn it, is this all I can do?"
Sasuke gazed at the sky with dissatisfaction, clearly unhappy with his current strength.
"Swish..."
As he lay on the ground resting, a very subtle rustling sound entered Sasuke's ears.
Curiously, Sasuke turned to look at the source of the sound, then flipped to his feet and quietly crept forward.
Hiding behind a tree, Sasuke saw the two figures in their red cloud cloaks, his pupils contracting sharply in shock. These two aren't from Konoha?
"Who's hiding behind that tree?"
Kisame Hoshigaki whirled around, immediately unfastening Samehada from his back and gripping it in his hand.
"Who are you two?"
Sasuke stepped out from behind the tree and asked the two of them in a low voice. The invisible pressure from Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi made Sasuke become extremely vigilant.
Seeing Sasuke, Itachi's hands trembled slightly. Then, a cold voice came from his mouth: "My foolish little brother…"
"Buzz…"
Hearing Itachi's voice, Sasuke's mind exploded. His Sharingan instantly activated, but he still suppressed the impulse and asked Itachi, "Who exactly are you?"
"My foolish little brother, are you still deceiving yourself?"
Lifting his hat, Itachi's face was completely revealed to Sasuke.
"Heh, Itachi, that guy has the same eyes as you. Is he your brother?"
Kisame Hoshigaki's mocking voice rang out, "Didn't the Uchiha Clan already perish? What's going on with him? Looks like your heart isn't cruel enough."
"Uchiha Itachi!"
Sasuke roared, his entire body instantly enveloped in lightning, his expression contorted.
"Oh my, Itachi, looks like your brother isn't simple at all."
Kisame looked at Sasuke's Sharingan and the imposing aura he exuded, chuckling to make a few remarks.
"Kisame, shut up!"
Itachi coldly shouted, opening his Sharingan to look at Sasuke, while also feeling some emotion inside, "Sasuke, has your Sharingan already reached three tomoe?"
"Itachi, do you know how I've lived through these years? Do you know how much I want to kill you?"
Sasuke released another Chidori from his left arm and quickly charged towards Itachi, "Bastard!"
"Chh-la!"
The Chidori in his left hand pressed fiercely towards Itachi, and Sasuke's expression was grim as he stared at Itachi's chest, which was instantly pierced.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Itachi's body dissolved into a puff of white smoke, and at the same time, Sasuke was grabbed by the neck and lifted up violently.
Sasuke, who had already overused his chakra from training, had now opened his Sharingan repeatedly and unleashed Chidori, leaving his chakra reserves almost depleted.
