In this dense forest of death, every moment is full of unknowns and dangers. Not long ago, Yakushi Kabuto was still active here, but after losing his forehead protector, he disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world.

Without a trace. This makes me even more convinced that there are too many unknown secrets hidden in this forest.

With the disappearance of Yakushi Kabuto, the huge forest of death returned to its previous silence. The dense leaves blocked most of the sunlight, and only mottled light spots fell on the ground. The air was filled with a faint smell of rotten leaves, and occasionally came

The low roars of wild beasts in the distance add a bit of mystery and spookiness to this forest.

At this moment, an unexpected wind chime sound suddenly sounded. This sound was particularly abrupt in the silent forest. I followed the sound and saw a figure wearing a Xiao robe walking slowly. There were red clouds.

The pattern was particularly eye-catching on Xiao's robe, and as the man moved, flames seemed to be dancing.

"Su Yue." A familiar and cold voice came. I looked closely and saw that it was Itachi Uchiha. He casually took off the hat on his head, revealing his handsome but somewhat gloomy face. His

The eyes are deep and complex, as if they hide endless stories and secrets.

I frowned slightly, feeling a little confused. Uchiha Itachi is a member of the Akatsuki organization, and it was obviously inappropriate for him to appear here at this moment. Moreover, his aura and cold voice were no different from his usual self.

, which made me even more certain that the person in front of me was indeed the Uchiha Itachi I knew well.

"Why, you didn't do any tasks in Xiaoli today?" I asked tentatively, wanting to find out the true purpose of his trip.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at me indifferently, without much emotion in his tone: "Su Yue, I just stopped by to see you while doing a task." He said it in an understatement, as if this was just an ordinary person.

visit.

However, I know that things are not that simple. As an important member of the Akatsuki organization, Uchiha Itachi's every action must have far-reaching meaning and purpose. What is the purpose of his appearance here at this moment?

"Really?" I chuckled and looked away pretending to be relaxed, "Why haven't you seen Kisame? Isn't he your partner? Aren't you usually inseparable?" I tried to find out by asking about Kisame's situation.

More information.

"...He is waiting for me outside Konoha." When Su Yue answered, there was a subtle difference in his tone, which seemed to be a little hesitant and a little firm. Those few seconds of pause, as if the air had solidified, which made people feel uncomfortable.

I felt an inexplicable tension.

Uchiha Itachi stood still in front of Su Yue, his eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate everything. He slowly raised his right arm. This action seemed normal, but it carried an inexplicable sense of oppression. The right hand hidden under the sleeve made

People cannot see clearly his true intentions.

Su Yue reacted quickly. She was not afraid at all. Instead, she put one end of the Killing God Sword against Uchiha Itachi's heart in an almost provocative manner. Those two gentle blows seemed to be testing and announcing something.

When she took back the knife, a calm smile appeared on her face and she said softly: "Your clothes here are dirty."

This sentence caused Uchiha Itachi's raised right arm to stop in mid-air. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he did not expect Su Yue to behave like this. However, he did not have an attack, and just watched quietly.

Looking at Su Yue, as if assessing her strength and intentions.

At this moment, a person who shouldn't have appeared here appeared. Hatake Kakashi, he stood a few steps away from Uchiha Itachi, his eyes wandering between the two. He seemed calm,

But the aura on his body reveals a sense of presence that cannot be ignored.

"The survival exercise isn't over yet, Su Yue, why are you here alone?" Kakashi's tone contained a hint of reproach, as if he was dissatisfied with Su Yue's solo actions. He mentioned Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.

, obviously reminding Su Yue that she still has her responsibilities as an instructor.

However, Kakashi seemed to completely ignore the existence of Itachi Uchiha, as if he was not present. This attitude made the atmosphere even more subtle.

Su Yue did not appear panicked when faced with Kakashi's questioning. She responded calmly: "Didn't I already say that you alone are enough." Her tone revealed a kind of confidence and calmness, as if she was

Tell Kakashi that she has her own plans.
