Side Story: The Chronicles of the Naka Shrine's Sweeping Monk's Crossover 13

Konoha was in ruins.

In Shisui's eyes, this scene was faintly, a little gratifying!

The Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura had both perished in this battle. After eradicating these two cancerous tumors, the remaining people who were hostile to the Uchiha clan were of no consequence…

For example, Koharu Utatane and the like…

Konoha began to rebuild. Because the number of Jonin was too small, Kakashi Hatake sincerely invited Shisui Uchiha to join him on patrol.

During a break, the two came to a dango shop on the street.

Kakashi spoke with some curiosity, "This shop has always been the place where we contemporaries have afternoon tea… By the way, does Shisui like sweets?"

"Actually, I'm not a big fan…"

Shisui Uchiha shook his head and chuckled softly, "But the Itachi of our world is quite fond of sweets, especially the three-colored dango from this shop…"

The two chatted casually for a few sentences, and each left carrying two bags of three-colored dango. A certain person inside the shop lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a look of resentment.

The other person in the dango shop smiled, picked up his own plate, and placed the dessert in front of his companion, saying softly, "Itachi-kun, if it's not enough, I still have some here…"

"Thank you, Kisame."

The Konoha rogue ninja, Itachi Uchiha, lowered his head, hiding his emotions.

However, his companion didn't seem to plan on letting this opportunity go. He asked, "If I saw correctly, that person seems to be Shisui Uchiha, right? Back in the day, that guy was very famous in our village!"

Shisui of the Body Flicker.

That man's name alone could force the Mist ANBU to retreat.

Coincidentally, in the era Kisame was from, Shisui Uchiha was just beginning to make his name, almost single-handedly shattering the Mist's plan to invade the Land of Fire!

From then on, the Mist's high council feared him like a tiger.

Kisame looked at his companion, who was sipping on a bubble tea, and thoughtfully handed him a napkin. "Speaking of which, what is the relationship between Itachi-kun and him? Didn't you say the entire Uchiha clan has already been annihilated?"

Slurp, slurp…

The sound of sipping bubble tea suddenly stopped…

The Konoha rogue ninja put down his cup. His voice trembled slightly, as if even he himself didn't know what he was saying, "My relationship with Shisui, it's probably… not bad…"

"As for why he is still alive, I don't know…"

After saying this, Itachi Uchiha tossed some money for the meal from his wallet and stood up to leave.

In fact, the first time he had seen Shisui, he had noticed that that person was not his friend. Plus, he had vaguely heard the phrase 'the Itachi of our world'…

That sentence was like a ray of hope piercing the darkness…

He wanted to go and ask the Shisui from the other world how their clan had found a path suitable for the Uchiha to survive!

It was just that this spy sent by 'Madara', Kisame Hoshigaki, was by his side, which made him feel constrained. If it weren't for this shark-faced man giving him his dessert just now, Itachi would have wanted to find an excuse to send him to experience Tsukuyomi…

Now, he could only hope that Shisui and Kakashi would discover their tracks.

Fortunately, neither Kakashi's nor Shisui's senses were bad. The moment Itachi's killing intent was exposed, they had seen the two bizarre people!

They wore bamboo hats, and each was draped in a black robe with red clouds…

Shisui recognized the Akatsuki's attire at a glance. What's more, the figures of the two were incomparably familiar. The tall, sturdy man with a ninja sword wrapped in bandages on his back—it was practically announcing his identity to everyone!

This world's Itachi Uchiha…

This world's Kisame Hoshigaki…

Shisui looked at the pensive Kakashi and chuckled lightly. "How interesting… Should we follow them? Those two guys are not easy to provoke…"

Kakashi nodded seriously. "They are outside invaders. We must go! Shisui, you've already recognized that the killing intent of one of them is that man, right?"

He was referring to Itachi Uchiha!

"No, I should say I recognized him by his body shape…"

Shisui spread his hands helplessly. "Regardless of whether we follow them or not, it's impossible to change his original intention. In any case, we can't defeat him…"

Kakashi Hatake: "…"

Have a little confidence!

You can't just be submissive to the outside world and then strike hard at Konoha!

Naka River.

The small river flowed quietly.

On the narrow country road, Shisui was half-squatting on a rock by the roadside, skipping flat stones on the water.

The two men in bamboo hats saw this and stopped in their tracks. The shark-faced man grinned. "It seems we've been intercepted…"

"There's an enemy behind us too."

Itachi tilted his head and said in a low voice, "It should be Kakashi Hatake. It shouldn't be a problem to hold him off, right?"

"Of course!"

Kisame took Samehada off his back. The moment he turned around, he suddenly smiled. "But, Itachi-kun, facing the strongest genjutsu ninja, you'll be under a lot of pressure, won't you?"

"Mm…"

The Konoha rogue ninja nodded seriously, his expression grave. "After all, when I fight Shisui, it's an all-out effort for me, but for him, it's a rare moment of relaxation…"

"…"

Kisame's expression froze. He could guarantee that he and Kakashi would be evenly matched. If he wanted to defeat Kakashi, it would probably take a long time. By that time, Konoha's main force would have arrived!

And he had been counting on Itachi to defeat Shisui and open up the situation!

Kisame gripped Samehada tightly. "In that case, do we need to swap opponents? At least when facing Kakashi, who is famous for his Sharingan, Itachi-kun should have more of an advantage, right?"

"With your will, you can't even withstand Tsukuyomi…"

Itachi's brow furrowed, somewhat dissatisfied with his companion's plan. "Are you sure you want to face the number one master of the Uchiha?"

"…Tsk, it seems we have no choice but to give it our all!"

Kisame watched as Kakashi, who was blocking their retreat, revealed himself. He had no choice but to charge forward, brandishing Samehada!

Itachi slowly stepped forward, walking in Shisui's direction. Midway, perhaps because he was worried that Shisui would use his Kotoamatsukami dōjutsu, he summoned a pitch-black crow.

The crow's eyes were blood-red. One of its eyes was even a windmill-shaped Mangekyo Sharingan!

"Well, this is a scare!"

Shisui smiled at the approaching youth. His gaze lingered on the crow on his shoulder. "I almost thought it was your crow… It turns out it's my crow!"

When he saw Itachi summon a crow, Shisui's heart had tensed in an instant!

Was this world's Itachi Uchiha sick in the head!

Why would he summon Kitahara when he had nothing better to do? With your talent, are you afraid you can't win?

By the time they got closer, Shisui immediately recognized that the crow Itachi had summoned was one of the flock he had raised.

Or rather, a crow that this world's Shisui had raised.

Seeing that the fear on Shisui's face was not fake, Itachi was slightly surprised. But he had no mind to pay attention to these small matters. He just said, "You are not the same as the Shisui I imagined. At the dango shop, I heard about your identity. I have some questions I'd like to ask…"

"You are also not the Itachi I imagined."

"Before we talk, shouldn't we pay attention to our respective companions?"

Shisui gestured with his head, pointing at Kisame and Kakashi, who were fighting in the distance. "After all, they're fighting so enthusiastically…"

"It matters not. We can claim we are in a genjutsu battle."

In any case, a bunch of outsiders wouldn't know how an Uchiha genjutsu battle should be fought…

Itachi spread his palms and said seriously, "After we enter the Tsukuyomi genjutsu, no one outside will be able to detect the contents of our conversation."

Shisui flatly shook his head. "I can't. I will absolutely not enter any World of Tsukuyomi!"

"Why?"

The Konoha rogue continued to invite him sincerely. "If I wanted to harm you in the World of Tsukuyomi, with your ocular power, you should be able to break the genjutsu, right?"

"…Not necessarily…"

Shisui shook his head, his expression difficult to describe.
