Noticing fluctuations in the ring, the two people stared at each other.

There's no hesitation.

A strand of Chakra slowly poured into the ring from their respective within-the-body.

With the influx of Chakra, the ring automatically triggered a Ninjutsu engraving in the ring.

After a while, the image of two people appeared in front of a delicate lighthouse carved from stone.

All around the two silhouettes is the image of Akatsuki members.

The reticent Uchiha Itachi asked nothing.

Hoshigaki Kisame on the side, unable to bear, was the first to start talking: "What is it this time? If there's nothing, don't disturb me grilling fish."

Immediately, it was a group of Akatsuki members looking towards 'Yahiko'.

During this period, Nagato still uses Yahiko's Puppet to look at people: "The news of Kyuubi has been confirmed, and he has returned to Konoha. Who is interested in fighting against Kyuubi?"

Hearing this news, as a spy, Uchiha Itachi, is also like the original work. He intentionally or unintentionally wants to take over this mission.

The reason is that he doesn't want Konoha to be hurt.

Uchiha Itachi: "I can go against Kyuubi."

Everyone looked towards Itachi.

Hidan, who is not very busy, taunted with a smile: "You're missing the scenery of Konoha, so you want to go back? Are you still... Are you a part of Konoha?"

Uchiha Itachi glared at Hidan suddenly, and his Three-Tomoe Sharingan slowly fused together!

'Mangekyo Sharingan!'

The original frivolous Hidan suddenly panicked, and he was pulled into the Tsukuyomi space by Uchiha Itachi.

In the Tsukuyomi space, two people have experienced a long time, and Hidan was miserable to be abused.

But in reality, the situation of two people only happened in the blink of an eye.

Before everyone could react, when Hidan was awake again, he was gasping for air. He was looking towards Uchiha Itachi's eyes again, full of fear. Everyone present is the existence of S-Rank Missing-nin, and of course, it was impossible not to detect the strangeness of Hidan. When their eyes fell on Uchiha Itachi again, everyone was wary. They dare not continue to say something on this topic.

However, this is also limited to ordinary Akatsuki members.

As for Nagato, Black Zetsu, White Zetsu, and Obito, there was no special response to this.

White Zetsu jokingly said at this time: "Heehehe! Right, you should go back to Konoha and have a good look. I just got interesting news not long ago, and it's about you."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at White Zetsu: "What do you mean?"

White Zetsu: "I heard that your younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, is dead! If Kyuubi was crazy because of it, we would not have confirmed his trace so easily. Now- ah, your Hokage is still trying to suppress this news! I don't know what he's worried about. He's afraid for anyone to know about this. Hehehe!"

Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, which has already faded, was opened again. He stared at White Zetsu violently: "Impossible! Is it really true or false?"

White Zetsu squinted and smiled, not answering again.

Uchiha Itachi's image suddenly disappeared at this time.

Deidara: "Hehe, isn't it Missing-nin? Aren't you exterminating the clan by hand? Why are you so nervous about the so-called younger brother? It seems that he is really a spy!"

Hidan thought he was OK again: "I'll just say--"

Uchiha Itachi's fierce reaction directly dumbfounded Hoshigaki Kisame. After hearing the ridicule of a few people, he reacted angrily: "Impossible! Itachi can't be a spy! I'll let him come back and make it clear!"

Hoshigaki Kisame also ended the video, but when his field of view returned to reality, Uchiha Itachi was long gone.

...

At the same time, inside the Konoha Village.

When Naruto left the Hyuga Clan Residence, he did not all return home. He just walked around the streets of Konoha. He was looking at the traces that the three had left in various places in the village.

He walked past the old place of the three, the place often agreed upon, that is, the park.

He Walked past every place they used to exercise together.

'Ah, this is where Uchiha Clan's former residence was.'

'Since the destruction of the Uchiha Clan, there were almost no more people here.'

The residents who originally lived here have moved to more prosperous areas. At the same time, the huge courtyard of the Uchiha Clan was demolished, leaving only open space. No traces. It's as if Uchiha Clan had never appeared here.

'I don't know how long it has been.'

Naruto just felt that the whole heart seemed empty.

'It seems that I don't understand what is missing.'

This time, Naruto passed a stall selling 3-color dango. He looked at the 3-color dango on the stall, and recalled the past scenes involuntarily in his mind.

Naruto ghostly stepped forward: "Boss, give me a 3-color dango."

The Boss handed a 3-color dango directly.

Naruto wanted to pay, but when he reached into his pocket, he only found out that he was in a hurry to go out today and that his pocket was not on his body. He wanted to return the three-color balls to Boss, but he heard Boss say, "No, I'll ask you to eat it."

Naruto's clamor for the Hokage Residence for Sasuke is a riot in the whole village. ---Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen has forbidden everyone to discuss this matter again, the villagers still know the general idea.

This owner that sells 3 color dango is, of course, no exception. He did not understand how to comfort Uzumaki Naruto… To comfort this Fourth-Hokage's son, he can only do his best to give Naruto a warm smile.

Naruto froze for a moment: "Thank you, Boss."

Immediately he continued aimlessly strolling on the street.

While walking, he just looked at the string of 3-color dango in his hand. Who knows how long he had walked and how long he was absent-minded. He subconsciously raised the three-color dango to his mouth and tucked the topmost pink ball into his mouth.

'The taste is still so sweet… It has not changed at all.'

At Naruto's feet, there was a drop of tear seeping into the soil.

"Why... What happened in the last few years?"

"Why do people become so strange?"

"Why did Sasuke disappear?"

"Why didn't the taste of the 3-color dango change, but Hinata changed?"

Naruto's heart is very uncomfortable. He had no idea how long it had been, and he had not been as sad as he is today. ---It's just like being abandoned by the whole world.

Naruto: "Big brother, are you still there?"

In his mind, there was still silence.

Naruto wiped his tears, cautious and solemnly wrapped the remaining two balls in a tissue, and rightly regarded these two balls as his only precious memory.

Then he walked towards the home...
