Chapter 51: Tsukuyomi Fails

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

Itachi looked solemnly at Ryujiro in front of him.

"Itachi, who is this guy?"

Kisame noticed the expression on Itachi's face. What kind of person could make Itachi show such a serious expression?

"It seems that our operation cannot continue as planned, Kisame."

"Why?"

"Because he's here."

"Him?" Kisame looked at Ryujiro in front of him with great confusion.

"He's just some random ninja, Itachi. You're being too cautious," Kisame said, casting a glance at Kisame with his eerie Sharingan. "He's the ninja I mentioned before."

Kisame's eyes suddenly contracted. "Oh? He's that genius swordsman?"

In an instant, Ryujiro's figure disappeared from Kisame's sight, and then a strong sense of fear enveloped Kisame.

Ding!

Kisame quickly shielded himself with Samehada, looking somewhat horrified at Ryujiro in front of him.

"So frighteningly fast."

"I think I understand what you mean now, Itachi."

So, this is Samehada?

"Ryujiro, why are you here?"

Asuma and Kurenai looked surprised at Ryujiro.

Ryujiro glanced at them and said indifferently, "My perception is even stronger than that of a sensory ninja. Just now, I sensed the aura of your battle."

Strong perception indeed. He's a genius, even stronger in perception.

"Ryujiro, Itachi is not easy to deal with. We three need to team up to handle him."

Asuma quickly bandaged his wounds to stop the bleeding.

Fight together, is that a joke? 

It's not that Ryujiro looks down on Kurenai and Asuma, but if Itachi gets serious, he could defeat Asuma and Kurenai in just a few moves.

"Asuma-san, Kurenai-san, you take care of Kisame. I'll deal with Itachi alone."

"Hey! Ryujiro! Are you serious?"

As he spoke, Ryujiro's figure had already disappeared from their sight. In the blink of an eye, a sharp blade fell upon Itachi.

Boom!

The shadow clone exploded into smoke.

"Itachi, such tricks won't work on me."

Ryujiro appeared on the water's surface, facing Itachi.

"You've become stronger."

"I heard you single-handedly defeated a tailed beast Jinchuriki. Your strength has improved so quickly over these years."

Itachi looked at Ryujiro with some complexity.

Ryujiro smirked, "Are you here to chat with me?"

"I didn't fully enjoy our battle back then. You must have hidden quite a few tricks."

Itachi's gaze shifted slightly, looking at Ryujiro with seriousness.

Does Ryujiro know something?

It may be regarding his Mangekyou Sharingan abilities, but how could he know about that? He hasn't used it in front of Ryujiro.

Let's try it!

Mangekyou Sharingan!

Swish!

In an instant, Ryujiro's vision suddenly blurred.

"Warning! Warning! Detected mental intrusion! Detected mental intrusion!"

"Intruder is being expelled! Intruder is being expelled!"

"Expulsion successful!"

In the next moment, Ryujiro's vision returned.

"Ah!"

Itachi let out a cry of despair as his Sharingan reverted to its black iris, tears of blood streaming down his cheeks.

"Tsukuyomi doesn't work on you!"

Itachi looked at Ryujiro in horror.

"What happened? Why did Tsukuyomi fail, Itachi's Genjutsu?"

"Is it possible that Genjutsu doesn't work on that guy?"

Kisame unleashed a terrifying power, sweeping giant waves of water and rocks like bullets towards Asuma and Kurenai.

Water Style: Shark Bomb!

*Whoosh!*

The calm water suddenly churned into layers of huge waves, forming monstrous water tornadoes and bitingly attacking Asuma and Kurenai.

Asuma quickly formed hand seals.

Earth Style: Mud Wall!

The ground shook violently, and a towering wall rose abruptly in front of Asuma, blocking the raging water.

Kisame teleported to Itachi's side. "Are you okay?"

"I'm afraid the plan can't continue. Let's retreat for now."

As the words fell, the two figures of Kisame and Itachi disappeared.

Ryujiro also retracted his chakra sensing.

The presence disappeared.

It seems he's already gone. 

"Asuma."

Kurenai looked at Asuma, who was covered in wounds, with concern.

"Those two guys were really terrifying."

"That Kisame is definitely no less than Itachi in terms of being a shinobi."

Such Water Style...

Two S-rank missing-nin gathering in Konoha, what exactly are they plotting? Seeing their attire, they look like they belong to a certain organization.

"Thanks, Ryujiro, for arriving in time. Otherwise, Kurenai and I wouldn't be able to deal with those two," Asuma said gratefully to Ryujiro.

However, despite this, Ryujiro's expression remained as cold and indifferent as usual. 

He glanced at the wounds on Asuma's body. "Kurenai-san, you'd better take Asuma to the hospital for treatment."

"Mm-hmm."

Kurenai took Asuma to the hospital.

Ryujiro took a quick glance and then used body flicker jutsu to leave.

Itachi and Kisame naturally did not leave Konoha, but were hiding elsewhere.

After all, what Itachi was most concerned about returning to Konoha was his younger brother, Sasuke. But unexpectedly, such variables had occurred.

"What exactly happened just now, Itachi? Your Genjutsu didn't work on that kid?" Kisame frowned and asked.

Itachi shook his head wearily. "I don't know either. It seems that some mysterious force has expelled the ability of my Sharingan."

Expelled?

Kisame's brow furrowed even deeper.

It seems that this kid also has some secrets. Mysterious power...

Konoha is indeed not simple.

"Let's set the plan aside for now. When I recover, let's go back to the organization first."

Kisame nodded without objection and lay down on the bed.

That guy...

Kisame's eyes narrowed. That guy's power could rival his own. It's unbelievable.

Such talent is worth dying under the blade of Samehada.

A bloodthirsty smile played on Kisame's lips.
