Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 90 Uchiha Itachi

Kakashi, suppressing the physical discomfort caused by Tsukuyomi, fixed his gaze on Uchiha Itachi and said, "Is what you're looking for Sasuke?"

Uchiha Itachi directly denied this, saying, "No, what we are looking for is the legacy of the Fourth Hokage."

At that moment, Might Guy also appeared, spinning around once before kicking Kisame Hoshigaki: "Konoha! Power Whirlwind!"

"Who goes there?" Kisame Hoshigaki was forced back by Might Guy's attack, his body sliding several meters across the river.

Might Guy struck a pose and addressed Kisame Hoshigaki: "Konoha's proud blue beast... Might Guy!"

But Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Might Guy in front of him and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "What kind of outfit is that? It should be some kind of rare and exotic beast, right?"

With that, Kisame Hoshigaki brandished Samehada and charged at Might Guy, while Itachi Uchiha slowly approached the exhausted Kakashi.

Upon seeing this, Boruto immediately stretched out his hands and began forming hand seals to stop Itachi Uchiha: "Lightning Release: Swift..."

But before Boruto could finish the hand seals, the river beneath his feet suddenly churned, and several huge columns of water shot up from the river, heading straight for Boruto.

Fortunately, Boruto noticed the anomaly underwater and quickly adjusted his hand seals before the water column hit him, using the Substitution Jutsu to dodge the attack.

Boruto gritted his teeth; Itachi Uchiha's ninjutsu was being activated at an unbelievable speed.

He couldn't even fully capture the hand seals he was forming; it was as if he could instantly unleash a ninjutsu just by glancing at him.

Kurenai Yuhi had already brought the exhausted Kakashi back to shore.

Asuma Sarutobi, seeing Boruto facing Itachi Uchiha, immediately shouted a warning: "Boruto! Never look Itachi directly in the eyes, or you will fall into his genjutsu! Kakashi became so weak because he fell into his genjutsu."

After hearing Asuma's warning, Boruto shifted his gaze away from Itachi's Sharingan and instead used his peripheral vision to observe his opponent, in order to avoid directly making eye contact and falling into a genjutsu.

Boruto then quickly formed hand seals and whispered, "Shadow Clone Technique!"

Under the cover of his shadow clones, Boruto conjured a Rasengan and threw it at Itachi Uchiha.

The Rasengan disappeared in mid-air and then struck Itachi Uchiha directly.

When Itachi Uchiha was hit by the Rasengan, his body suddenly transformed into more than a dozen crows and scattered.

After circling in the air for a moment, the crows gathered together again, and Itachi Uchiha reappeared, without a single mark of injury on his body.

Then, Itachi Uchiha strode forward and walked straight toward Boruto.

As Itachi Uchiha closed in, Boruto pulled out three shuriken from his ninja tool pouch, then infused them with lightning chakra and hurled them: "Lightning Triple Strike!"

The moment Boruto threw the shuriken, Itachi Uchiha recognized that the throwing technique was very similar to the style of their Uchiha clan. Was he Sasuke's friend?

Boruto's shuriken pierced Itachi's body, but it was merely an explosive clone that Itachi had created beforehand.

As the shuriken struck, the clone suddenly exploded violently, the force of which instantly engulfed the surrounding area.

Boruto's shadow clones were caught in the explosion and dissipated, while Boruto's main body, although some distance away, was still affected.

"Purple Lightning!" Purple lightning flashed in Boruto's hand. Instead of rushing towards Itachi Uchiha, Boruto plunged his hand into the river.

As Boruto unleashed his purple lightning, the electricity spread rapidly through the river. Under Boruto's control, this powerful current directly struck Itachi Uchiha, forcing him to retreat towards the shore.

At this point, Itachi Uchiha had no intention of staying there any longer, as the aftermath of the battle would attract many Konoha ninja.

Uchiha Itachi said calmly to Kisame, who was still fighting, "Alright, Kisame, we didn't come here to start a war. It's a pity, but there's no need to stay here any longer. Let's go back."

At this moment, Kisame blocked Might Guy's whip kick with his sturdy physique, and a smile of approval appeared on his face as he said to Might Guy, "You're pretty capable."

Kisame then took a large step back from Might Guy's attack range and returned to Itachi's side: "You finally got all restless, but I have no choice. I'll let you go this time, rare beast."

A moment later, Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha vanished from everyone's sight in a flash, leaving only the chakra fluctuations of them gradually dissipating in the air.

After Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki disappeared, Boruto turned around and his gaze fell on Kakashi, who was lying on the ground.

Kakashi's condition was clearly not good; he had fallen into a coma. Boruto turned to Sarutobi Asuma beside him and asked, "How is Kakashi-sensei now?"

Asuma said, "Kakashi has fallen under Itachi's genjutsu, and the situation is not very optimistic."

Might Guy said with a serious expression, "We need to get Kakashi to the medical team for treatment right away."

Boruto said, "Those two just now, their purpose in coming here was to capture Naruto, right?"

Boruto recalled that the two men initially mistook him for his father, and then the shark-faced man said that he was not their target.

That means their goal in coming to Konoha was clearly to get their hands on the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.

When Sarutobi Asuma heard that Boruto already knew about this, he was worried that Boruto would act impulsively, so he went directly to find Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki.

Therefore, Asuma said to Boruto, "You don't need to worry too much about this, we'll handle it." After saying that, Asuma took the unconscious Kakashi and left the scene.

......

Boruto walked alone on the streets of Konoha Village, still thinking about what had just happened.

Although Naruto still has Jiraiya by his side, Boruto can't help but worry.

So Boruto decided not to delay any longer and quickened his pace, heading towards the exit of Konoha Village.

They wanted to find Jiraiya and the others before Itachi and Kisame, to inform them in advance that they were being watched.

At this time, Sasuke originally wanted to train with Kakashi to improve his strength, but he did not see Kakashi after arriving at the training ground.

On his way to Kakashi's residence, Sasuke suddenly saw Boruto looking anxious, so he immediately went to meet him, frowning and asking, "What's wrong? Boruto, what's the matter that's so urgent?"
