Chapter 1112 Comparison
In the base camp, the five Kage are urgently discussing countermeasures.
The current situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more complicated. In addition to dealing with the Akatsuki organization, the high-profile appearance of the "Upper String One" has also caused headaches for the five Kage.
In particular, the elite team that went to eliminate the "Upper String One" was severely injured by Itachi alone, which made them both surprised at Itachi's strength and doubted Itachi's position. If Itachi is not on the side of the ninja village coalition, then the secret transmission of intelligence before is worth their deep consideration.
Fortunately, the Akatsuki organization headed by 'A' did not jump out to disrupt the situation at this time, which comforted their irritable mood.
However, they also knew that the time window left for them to solve Nagato was running out.
Because even if the group of 'A' caused an internal conflict because of the rebellion of 'B', no matter how strong 'B' is, it is impossible for one person to fight against the entire organization headed by 'A' for a long time, so once the group of 'A' has completed the rebellion, it is very likely that they will join this ninja world war.
By then, if the ninja village coalition has not been able to defeat Nagato's Akatsuki organization and rescue all the kidnapped Jinchūriki, they may have to face two Akatsuki organizations.
He has defeated the monsters, repelled the demon king, defeated Orochimaru, suppressed 'B', and has never lost since the appearance of 'A'. He is a top ninja who can rival Nagato.
The thought that Nagato and 'A' may join forces and become as strong as the five Kage makes people shudder!
Before the five Kage received the battle report of the setback of the elite team, Shinji, who was also in the Land of Rain, had already learned what happened in the Land of Earth before them.
On the treetops, Shinji, who was washed by the drizzle, stared at the direction of the Land of Earth, slightly lost in thought.
Because he was connected to Orochimaru, Yakumo, Sasuke, Ryuga, and Chino with 'Naobi' at the same time, the so-called strange behaviors of Itachi that puzzled everyone were not strange in Shinji's eyes, because they were not the same person at all.
It was obvious.
The Uchiha Itachi that the elite team led by Kakashi first encountered was not the real Uchiha Itachi, but the person that Orochimaru feared the most after the overlord projected fear on Orochimaru.
So the 'Uchiha Itachi' who used all kinds of Mangekyō pupil techniques without restraint was a monster similar to 'Tsugikoku Yoriichi' who caught up with Ubuyashiki Ryuhei in the Demon Slayer World.
And the Itachi that the elite team encountered the second time was the real Itachi.
It's just a little ironic that whether it was the real Itachi or the fake Itachi, they both controlled the elite team tightly, making the elite team always wandering in fear and anxiety, and they had no energy to analyze the differences between the two. Even Yakumo only vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But from the perspective of an observer, Shinji saw it clearly.
"Except for tactics and strategies, they are exactly the same."
In the rain, Shinji sighed secretly.
At first, he planned to let Orochimaru prepare another trap to get rid of the fake Uchiha Itachi as soon as possible.
But when the fake Uchiha Itachi accidentally encountered Kakashi's elite team, he decided to use the elite team to test the fake Uchiha Itachi.
After all, one cannot take the overlord lightly.
After a fierce battle, the result was as expected by Shinji. The fake Uchiha Itachi almost perfectly replicated all of Uchiha Itachi's abilities, and even the two artifacts, the "Ten-fist Sword" and the "Yata Mirror", were perfectly copied.
If he hadn't known the cause and effect in advance, even Shinji would have found it difficult to tell.
And the only difference between the real and fake Uchiha Itachi, in Shinji's opinion, is probably only the tactics and strategy.
This does not mean that the real and fake Uchiha Itachi are different in tactics, but that there is a difference in tactics and strategy.
The fake Uchiha Itachi is obviously not limited by the Mangekyō pupil power. As long as he feels it is appropriate, he can freely use any Mangekyō pupil technique he has mastered, so his tactics are more reasonable and sharper, which is why he can destroy the elite team in one encounter.
In contrast, the real Uchiha Itachi is more conservative in the formulation of tactics because he is limited by the Mangekyō pupil power. He will not easily launch the Mangekyō-level pupil technique unless it is absolutely necessary, so his tactics are more skill-oriented and more conservative.
In other words.
The fake Uchiha Itachi is a high-end version of Uchiha Itachi with no pupil power restrictions, even no chakra restrictions, and all the means and thinking of Uchiha Itachi.
Although he has the Mangekyō Sharingan, without the restriction of pupil power, it is almost equivalent to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
"In this case, Orochimaru may not be able to deal with it"
Shinji frowned slightly.
Orochimaru himself was perfectly restrained by the real and fake Uchiha Itachi, and the fake Uchiha Itachi, who also possessed the "Ten-fist Sword", was not afraid of the "Impure Earth Body" of several Hokages, and the "Impure Earth Body" of the strongest first generation collapsed during the battle with Tanjiro, so even with Kabuto Yakushi, Guren, Jūgo, and Tayuya, Orochimaru's side did not have a complete chance of winning against the fake Uchiha Itachi.
Of course, if Shinji took action, he should be able to get rid of the fake Uchiha Itachi with a sure win, but Shinji didn't want to face the power of the Overlord at the moment. Because he was not sure whether the Overlord had left any means on the fake Uchiha Itachi.
If he exposed himself as the "Lantern Bearer" to the Overlord's sight in advance in order to get rid of the fake Uchiha Itachi, it would be a loss.
The battle with the Overlord is a desperate battle of the weak against the strong, and he cannot afford to underestimate the enemy.
With this thought, Shinji decided to let Orochimaru lead the fake 'Uchiha Itachi' away first, and circle around in the Ninja World. After he successfully snatched the Ten-Tails and became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, and was promoted to the 'Six Paths Level', he would deal with the fake 'Uchiha Itachi'.
By then, his strength has reached the top of the Ninja World, and it should be no problem to deal with a 'fear projection' created by the Overlord.
At this time, Yakumo's blood clone on the big tree behind him suddenly 'whooshed' and exchanged positions with Yakumo's original body. Then, Yakumo jumped in front of Shinji and bowed and said, "My lord, I found it!"
"Then let's go!"
Shinji nodded slightly and put his hand on Yakumo's shoulder.
Instantly, with another "whoosh" sound, Shinji and Yakumo disappeared above the treetops, leaving only a blood clone of Yakumo that was replaced from somewhere.
Not far away.
Karin, Mumei, Neji, and Kimimaro, all dressed in hooded red cloud suits, sat or stood on their own trees, quietly alert to everything around them.
The first update is here!
