Chapter 190: Uchiha Izumi
Previously, Ino had tried summoning the souls of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto, but for some reason, the summoning failed, as if they were untraceable.
The remaining Uchiha members, Tesho and Kyo, did have connections to Itachi, but they weren't very useful. These two were just ordinary members of the Uchiha clan, not even ninjas. She couldn't exactly summon them and say, "Itachi-kun, would you like to buy a pancake?"
That would be too embarrassing; she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Uchiha Izumi was the perfect candidate to deal with Itachi. You have a brother complex, don't you? I'll summon your girlfriend back and make you sick!
Uchiha Izumi heard her question and gently shook her head. This girl, who had awakened her Three-Tomoe Sharingan at the age of thirteen, was also a genius of the Uchiha clan. Her Yin Release level was very high, and the spiritual body she was summoned in was very substantial. Her sanity wasn't significantly impaired either, allowing for normal communication.
"Is that so? He doesn't want to talk to you? What a man with a heart of stone." Ino thought for a moment, then said, "The Uchiha clan has already been wiped out. You know about this, right?"
Uchiha Izumi nodded lightly. Her memories were somewhat fragmented, but she still remembered the extermination of her entire clan.
Ino asked, "The village now has the Fifth Hokage. The Fifth Hokage is planning to return the old Uchiha residence to Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke is Itachi's younger brother. Have you met him?"
A look of contemplation appeared on Uchiha Izumi's face. After a moment, she seemed to suddenly remember. "Oh, I remember, I remember. It was around the time of the Nine-Tails' Attack, wasn't it? I remember Itachi-kun holding his little brother. I asked to hold him for a bit, but the little guy cried so loudly. It seems he even peed on me?"
Ino's smile was weird. There was no room for a woman between those two brothers. Sasuke, even a three-month-old Sasuke, wouldn't let you hold him. You were lucky he didn't poop on your face.
She exaggerated Sasuke's miserable state. Uchiha Izumi felt it was her responsibility, and she wanted to stay near the old residence to help take care of Sasuke when the time came.
"Alright, well, you're practically his sister-in-law anyway. I personally have no objections, and I don't think Itachi would either. It's all good!"
Ino said with a look of blessing.
In reality, she had already imagined the scene of Uchiha Izumi appearing and disappearing unpredictably, scaring Sasuke half to death.
Without a specific summoning jutsu, ordinary people can't see souls. Sasuke would just think there was an invisible person doing his laundry, pouring his water, and folding his quilt. Hmph! Scare him!
"Okay, let's do it! That..."
Ino looked at the main gate of the old Uchiha residence. There were two trees in front of the gate, one was a locust tree, and the other was also a locust tree.
These two trees represented the Uchiha clan's pride, sorrow, and the deep melancholy within their hearts. The planter intended to use them to express the clan's dissatisfaction and their resistance against the village's high-level officials' unwarranted targeting. These two trees were so conspicuous, so proudly independent, symbolizing the Uchiha clan's spine that would never bend.
"Men on the left, women on the right. Let's do this: I'll seal you in the locust tree on the right. That way, you can come out and take a look from time to time and help Sasuke tidy up his room. What do you think?"
Uchiha Izumi was very satisfied. "Thank you, thank you for helping me."
Ino had already planned it out. In a couple of years, when Uchiha Itachi died, she would retrieve his soul and seal it in the locust tree on the left, fulfilling their destiny as a couple. You're welcome!
She was just that generous, no way around it, it was innate.
She prepared the sealing jutsu and was about to begin when she suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, can you sense the location of your Sharingan?"
"It seems... I can't find them." Izumi turned around twice on the spot and then shook her head. "Do you want Sharingan too? It's very difficult for outsiders to bear the huge chakra consumption of the Sharingan."
"Is that so? What a pity. Alright, I'll start the sealing."
Ino sealed Izumi into the locust tree, allowing her to remain in the material world for a long time.
The reason she asked about the Sharingan was because she remembered Uchiha Obito's wall covered in Sharingan eyes. Izumi had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, so theoretically, she should have some connection to her own eyes.
The fact that she couldn't sense them at all meant only one thing: Obito had stored all those eyes in his Kamui dimension, and they weren't currently in the material world.
Looking at the locust tree, she was lost in thought. Her style was really getting weirder and weirder. At every turn, summoning, sealing, and calling forth. A proper ninja, but she had somehow turned herself into an onmyoji.
Just as Ino was wondering if she should get a shikigami, by a riverbank, Asuma and Kurenai blocked the path. Facing them stood Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.
Buying books was just a side trip; Ino's things were just a matter of convenience.
Upon hearing about the Third Hokage's death, Uchiha Itachi immediately rushed back. His aim was to deter the village's high-level officials, especially someone like Danzo, and absolutely prevent them from harming Sasuke.
He trusted the Third Hokage but didn't trust the current Jiraiya, and even less so, Danzo.
Encountering Asuma was both accidental and inevitable.
The two sides started fighting at the slightest disagreement.
Asuma forcefully blocked Kisame's Samehada, but his strength was still lacking and he was gradually being pushed back. He wanted to use Multiple Exploding Tags, but he couldn't find an opening at all.
Kurenai faced off against Uchiha Itachi, starting with the Dark Release: Dark March Jutsu. The two then fought fiercely in the darkness.
The Dark March Jutsu's concealment effect was top-notch, and Kurenai had also reached a decent level of mastery in this genjutsu. But trying to suppress Uchiha Itachi with this jutsu? That was truly a challenge.
Uchiha Itachi's taijutsu was extremely high. Despite looking sickly, his taijutsu, speed, and strength completely suppressed Kurenai. The difference between them was significant.
At this moment, in the darkness, he toyed with her, forcing Kurenai to retreat repeatedly.
Soon, relying on his monstrous strength, Kisame used Samehada to slash Asuma's arm. He didn't press his advantage but rather retreated two steps in a somewhat lenient manner. He diligently formed hand signs and used Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Jutsu.
Kakashi arrived just in time, effortlessly copying the Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Jutsu with his Sharingan. Then, the two water shark bullets collided, and both jutsus were mutually canceled out.
In less than ten seconds, Kurenai also emerged from the area covered by the Dark March Jutsu, looking pale and defeated. She held her forehead, clearly suffering from genjutsu backlash and was injured.
Kurenai propped up her injured body, pulled out a kunai, and stood in a line with Kakashi and Asuma, glaring intently at the two powerful rogue ninjas before them.
"Kakashi-senpai, Asuma-sensei, Kurenai-san, my companion and I are merely passing through here. We really don't want to fight you. Could you please let us pass?"
Uchiha Itachi was courteous and gentle, speaking in a very calm tone. However, no one believed his words. The world was so big, and he just happened to stroll into Konoha Village? There was definitely a conspiracy here!
