The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 2 Chapter 61 The Reaper Of Akatsuki

Yamato frowned upon hearing that name while Ino asked “The Reaper?”. Kakashi looked at the hooded Akaktsuki who was staring at them while having a conversation with Kakuzu.

“Yeah, He’s the Reaper of Akatsuki”. Shuichi who just read his words through his Sharingan looked at Kakuzu “I’ll have a short conversation with my old acquaintances”.

He disappeared and appeared before them with Body flicker jutsu and looked at them who suddenly went into a battle stance. Shuichi looked at Kakashi and asked with changed voice “it seems you know me”.

Kakashi replied “there’s only one person who wears a hood in Akatsuki. you are active in the past 1 year and assassinated a total of 23 people officially of which 1 of them is even a Daimyo and 18 are business tycoons who have a lot of connections with Daimyos of various nations.

You are also a wanted S-class criminal in the Land of Lightning. 6months ago, you assassinated Land of Earth’s Daimyo but strangely investigations about it have been stopped for some reason by current Daimyo.

They say you come like a reaper at their most unexpected moment. After assassinating, you disappear like you never existed. The most important part is that you have a 300million bounty on your head”. Naruto and Ino stunned “three…300 million?”.

Shuichi let out a chuckle “I’m impressed with Konoha’s information gathering ability. But anyway, I have no motive in killing you guys nor do I have any interest in avenging that immortal trash. So, consider it even and return to your village”.

Yamato then stepped forward and about to say something. Kakashi immediately stopped him “Yamato and everyone stand down. We are going back”. Shuichi replied “wise move”.

Shuichi then looked at Naruto without minding what Kakashi and the rest were thinking. “your jutsu was commendable. I gained something from it. So, I’ll give you a piece of advice.

That jutsu is harmful not only to enemies but to yourself. Use it a few more times, you can say goodbye to your arm”.

Just then, He saw Shikamaru, Sakura and Hanabi are coming towards them. He turned towards them and stared at Hanabi for a while from a distance. Before they reach him, he disappears and appears next to Kakuzu who didn’t move one second and keep staring the crater made by naruto.

“Let’s go”. Kakuzu sighed “I thought there will not be another shinobi like Hashirama. But seeing both you and that kid, I guess the new generation will probably surpass us”.

Later, after both of them disappeared, Team 10 and Team Kakashi started to return. Shikamaru was surprised after he heard of the battle. Naruto asked weakly “kakashi sensei, why did you let them go?. I can use Rasenshuriken one more time if I push my limits and defeat Kakuzu while the rest of you can take care of the hood guy”.

Kakashi replied “No. Jiraya sama especially told me not to engage him if we at least don’t have a full team of Jonin. Since the enemy doesn’t want to fight, we don’t have to be reckless.

not to mention, I’m more worried about what he said about your arm. I don’t want to believe his words but something tells me otherwise. Anyway, we have to check your arm thoroughly after we reached Konoha”.

Naruto became depressed once he heard about his arm and no one talked about it as they knew how much Naruto worked hard for it. then, Shikamaru asked, “but, how did he even reach Kakuzu suddenly?”. Ino replied “don’t know. we even thought Kakuzu was done for. who knows where that reaper appeared from”.

Then, Sakura joked “you almost sounded as if he teleported to him directly like the fourth hokage”. Suddenly, Kakashi and Hanabi stopped. Hanabi then suddenly turned back while activating byakugan and checked if she can see something.

Kakashi who saw that and who also came to the same conclusion as her, spoke “Hanabi, what are you doing? let’s go”. She turned back and started to walk with the group. While walking, kakashi started to think “How did I miss this possibility?. He can directly teleport by applying seal on the body like how sensei did. I need to ask Jiraya sama before reporting to Tsunade sama”.

Later, after teleporting him somewhere near one of the hideouts, He went back to the Mountain Graveyard. After a while, Zetsu came back with a corpse. Shuichi was happy with it and took it a small underground room where he does reanimations.

“Ugh…one of the major side effects if this Jutsu. The dead body fu****g smells. well, can’t do anything about it. I was the one who asked for an entire corpse instead of bones or flesh”. After the process was over, he melted the body completely.

Meanwhile, after Team Kakashi and Team Asuma return home, At Asuma’s grave, Shikamaru tells Kurenai he will protect her unborn child. He plays Shogi with Shikaku and reveals what Asuma told him: the “king” that Konoha must protect is the next generation.

A few days later,

while Naruto is bothered over being warned not to use the Rasen Shuriken due to its extreme risk, he is reunited with Jiraiya, who offers to train with him again.

A couple of weeks later, Tobi and Deidara captured Three tails. While sealing, Tobi started to speak like an idiot just like every time and Deidara who was annoyed threaten him to blow up.

While Shuichi and Zetsu were conversing slowly, Pain interrupted them “Shuichi, Zetsu. you have a mission. After this is over, go to Iwagakure and capture four tails. I’ll go personally for six tails. Kakuzu, you failed to capture Nine-tails. I will take care of him by myself. Itachi, Kisame you both go to Kumo and capture eight tails.

Then, Itachi replied “I’m sorry but I can’t go. I have important business to settle”. Pain frowned “important business?”.Itachi replied, “personal business to settle”. Pain understood what he meant and spoke “ok, then Kakuzu, you go with Kisame then”.

After sealing Three tails, five of eyes of Gedo Mazo statue opened and it disappeared along with everyone’s astral projection. Zetsu goes to Iwa underground and spies on the four tails to inform Shuichi of the right time.

A week later, as Naruto and others hear about Sasuke’s movements like how he was sighted with three more people, they immediately thought of Itachi. With the help of Kakashi’s ninja hounds, they started to look for Itachi to capture him.

In the end, Itachi meets them but after giving Naruto a crow with Shisui’s Magekyou sharingan, He escapes from there.

Meanwhile, Sasuke and his team Hebi began to look for clues regarding Itachi as Sasuke thought that he was strong enough to kill him.

A couple of weeks later,

Itachi reached Uchiha hideout which is used to former Uchiha base before they moved to Konoha and waits for him there. as the rumours which were spread by Itachi about his location, Sasuke goes alone into the hideout to confront him.

Just as Itachi guessed, Sasuke arrived at the place. upon seeing his face again, Sasuke’s gaze turned cold and activates Sharingan “Itachi Uchiha”.
