Three days later.
In a forest in the Land of Lightning.
The brown-haired, slender Killer Bee was resting on a rock with four ANBU followers. There were more than a dozen ninja corpses lying at their feet.
"The mission is over here, Master Killer Bee," Follower No. 1 said.
Killer Bee nodded and said, "Ah, it's almost done. The intelligence that Master Raikage gave me only stated that there were 15 spies who infiltrated the village. We have killed them all. We can return to the Hidden Cloud Village now."
"Huh, I can finally go back. It's been almost a month since I left the village. My wife and children are still waiting for me at home," Follower No. 2 said.
Follower No. 3 joked, "As a ninja, you are actually worried about your family during the mission. If Lord Raikage knew about it, you would probably be severely criticized, hehe."
Follower No. 4 frowned and said, "Lord Killer Bee, you have been looking worried since just now. Is something wrong?"
"…From the beginning, I have had a very ominous premonition. I always feel that something is coming towards me…" Killer Bee shook his head and smiled, "Well, it may be my illusion. I am always on missions outside, so I am naturally more vigilant."
"Master Killer Bee, you are the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails. Even if someone attacks you, you will surely defeat them easily. You are the third best in the Hidden Cloud Village, second only to Master Raikage and Master A," Follower No. 1 flattered him.
Killer Bee laughed and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense and go back. It's been a month since you left the village. I don't know if anything has happened in the village."
Just as he finished speaking, the bushes not far from them suddenly shook a few times, as if someone was there.
"Who!" Killer Bee stood up immediately. The bushes trembled, and then a man with long hair, wearing a battle robe, Sharingan in both eyes, walked out of the bushes. It was Itachi Uchiha.
Killer Bee widened his eyes and said, "Sharingan! Are you Itachi Uchiha from the Uchiha clan?!"
"Lord Killer Bee, who is Itachi Uchiha?" asked the fourth follower.
Killer Bee explained with a grim expression, "He was once a genius of the Uchiha clan, a wealthy family in Konoha. Later, this guy killed all his clan members and defected. Except for his younger brother, no one was left alive. Since the Sharingan can be seen outside of Konoha, he must be Itachi Uchiha. There is no one else except him."
"So he is the guy who killed his entire clan? I have heard about that incident." The third follower said indifferently, "But with you, Master Killer Bee, here, even the Sharingan is nothing to be afraid of, right? You can become a more powerful tailed beast Jinchūriki."
"Don't take it lightly!" Killer Bee scolded, "Lord Raikage told me about the Sharingan. No matter who faces the Sharingan alone, no one has a chance of winning. Besides, this guy was once the most gifted genius in the Uchiha clan. His Sharingan must be more powerful than others."
"You seem to know me very well," Itachi Uchiha said, "But your opponent is not me."
"It's not you? Then who is it?" asked Killer Bee.
"Him." Itachi Uchiha pointed behind them. Killer Bee and the others looked back.
They saw a white-haired man with a sword, who had quietly stood about ten meters behind them without a sound, with a pair of emotionless eyes staring at them coldly.
Killer Bee was stunned and said, "When did this guy appear behind us? I didn't even feel any chakra fluctuations!"
"Master Killer Bee, this guy doesn't seem to have any chakra," the second follower said, "I am a perception-type ninja. I will not make a wrong judgment on this point. There is not even a drop of chakra in his body."
"No chakra?" Killer Bee was surprised and asked, "Is he just an ordinary person? No wonder I didn't feel him appear behind me."
After that, he asked Hitani and Itachi Uchiha, "Itachi Uchiha, you have betrayed Konoha. Since you no longer belong to Konoha, you are not a hostile force to our Kumogakure, right? So why did you come to me?"
"Jinchūriki has no right to ask questions," Mr. Hitani said, "Please help."
Hitani slowly drew out his Zanpakutō and released his spiritual pressure.
Buzz – powerful spiritual pressure rushed towards him, and the surrounding space was faintly vibrating.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The four followers were instantly crushed to their knees by the spiritual pressure.
"What, what's going on." Follower No. 1 said in panic, "My body, my body, I can't move, and I have a very scary feeling in my heart, as if, as if I was stared at by a wild beast."
Killer Bee also said with an ugly face, "This feeling, is it chakra? No, it's not chakra, what kind of power is this, I have never seen it before!"
Boom!
Hitani suddenly stepped on the ground and rushed towards the four ANBU followers with a sword.
"Be careful!" Killer Bee yelled.
But it was too late.
A sword light flashed and slashed across the necks of the four ANBU followers.
Puff puff puff!
The next second, the heads of the four ANBU followers were chopped off at the same time, and blood spurted out from their necks like a fountain.
[You killed four ANBU followers]
[You are more evil]
