Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 547 Itachi: Awakening

Itachi Uchiha knew that Kisame's original purpose in coming here was not to kill all these people; Kisame was here to solve the problem.

According to the information provided by Mei Terumi, the area on this island inhabited by the Hoshigaki clan has a distinct rebellious and nostalgic atmosphere.

Mei Terumi hopes that Kisame Hoshigaki can find that person, eliminate the culprit, and restore the others to normal.

As for why Mei Terumi didn't handle it herself, it was naturally because she had other things to do and other troublemakers to deal with.

Don't assume that the opposition is a monolithic entity.

On the contrary, the opposition has always been weaker than the ninja village forces and has always had to hide in the shadows because they fight their own battles and do not trust each other.

If they can really unite, they can simply find a place to rebuild their village.

And let's not forget what the opposition in Kirigakure wants.

It's blood mist.

They want to return to the Blood Mist.

What is blood mist? The most basic thing is that killing teammates is the norm.

Given this fundamental premise, it is impossible for the various opposition factions to trust each other.

This is a paradox.

If the other party is a staunch opponent of Mei Terumi, then he should respect the Blood Mist policy and decisively sell him out.

What's the point of forming an alliance with an ally who's destined to betray you? Just to make things difficult for yourself?

Conversely, if the other party doesn't betray him, it means they are not following the core principles of the Blood Mist policy, are not on the same side, and are inclined towards Mei Terumi, so they will betray him sooner or later.

Of course, the opponents don't go into so much logic; they simply don't trust each other.

Therefore, in this environment, what Mei Terumi needs to do is eliminate the culprits one by one and reduce their influence.

Under her leadership, Kirigakure itself has been getting better and better.

But as things got better and better, some people kept throwing dirty water on them and saying bad things about them.

If you don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, someone else will.

Mei Terumi worked tirelessly to open the Land of Water to the outside world, and life improved for everyone.

The opposition would occasionally nag Mei Terumi, but to those who heard it, it seemed like all of Mei Terumi's efforts had been in vain.

Furthermore, because development occurs in a specific order, it can even exacerbate new conflicts.

For example, why should a tourist area be opened near the island where you live first?

Mei Terumi's reputation among these rabble fluctuated wildly, like a pool where water flows away as the tap is turned on.

To solve this problem, you need to plug the leak first.

Kisame's current task is to find one of the holes.

His job was to block the hole. As for the others, Mei Terumi made it clear that if Kisame needed to be injured or killed, it didn't matter, but there was no need to actively deal with them.

Those rabble who are led by the nose will soon become like headless flies once they lose their leader.

At that time, Mei Terumi will only need to send her people to make contact and become their new mastermind, and she will be able to naturally and subtly win these people over.

So Kisame didn't come to exterminate his clan; he came to become a famous detective.

"Mr. Itachi, I'm not very good at using my brain, so I'll have to rely on your help this time."

After Kisame finished explaining the details of his mission, he politely complimented Itachi Uchiha.

Kisame is actually quite intelligent and has a high combat IQ, but he is indeed not as good as the top-tier ones.

After all, Kisame's "Sage" formula book only has 7 chapters.

However, Itachi did not respond to Kisame immediately; his mind was filled with the methods Kisame had just described.

Once the leader is dealt with, the rest will naturally calm down...

Itachi was still thinking about how to prevent Kisame from suffering the same fate as him.

Unexpectedly, it was Kisame, or rather, the current Mizukage Mei Terumi, who taught him a lesson.

Itachi began to doubt himself.

Did he really have the thinking ability of a Hokage at the age of seven?

If it really exists, regardless of whether Kirigakure's method is suitable for the Uchiha clan, why didn't he even think of it at the time?

Even if he couldn't find the ringleader in the family, why did he kill all the children and elderly people who hadn't participated at all?

Since he has decided to bear the guilt of wiping out his clan, why can't Sasuke stop hating the village? The other children can too.

There are even some babies who could be raised by the village and instilled with the Will of Fire from a young age. Regardless of their strength when they grow up, their personality will definitely be another Uchiha Kagami or Uchiha Shisui.

So why did he kill all the Uchiha?

Is it because you're in the zone and can't stop?

Itachi Uchiha awakened his intelligence, and the turning point for him was when he finally realized that he had never actually awakened his intelligence before.

Itachi suddenly remembered the Second Hokage he had met before, and he had said a few words to him, but he didn't go into details.

I don't know if they thought he was hopeless, or if it was because the original was there and they couldn't say anything too harsh.

Now Itachi understands.

I finally see everything clearly.

It's a pity that I understood this too late.

His mind had been in a state of chaos, and he was so caught up in the situation that he was completely unaware of these things.

Only today, looking at Kisame from an outsider's perspective, did he realize how outrageous he had been back then.

It turns out he was the biggest lunatic in the Uchiha clan.

"Kisame, I'll only offer my help this time, not any advice. You'll have to make your own decision."

After hesitating for a moment, Itachi took back what he had just said.

After realizing what had happened, Itachi developed some PTSD, fearing that if he got into a good rhythm, he might help Kisame wipe out his clan as well.

"Hmm? Okay."

Kisame was puzzled, but he didn't dwell on it. In front of Itachi, Kisame was just an honest man.

So the two of them entered the village.

As members of the dried persimmon clan, the familiar fish-man face immediately caught the attention of the villagers.

the other side.

Kakashi and his friends arrived at the resort island, next to a large vacant lot under development.

First, he gave a formulaic explanation of the shortcut to cultivating the Immortal Mode to the group, since this was the important matter.

After that, Ao, Chojuro, and Kurosuki Raiga went their separate ways and each found a place to prepare for training.

There's no need to worry about privacy issues. There's plenty of water and sand around, so even without using water or earth magic, manually creating a sandcastle is a simple matter.

Next up is the breathing technique that Violet wants to develop. Kakashi has no choice but to let Violet and Guy find a place to talk first, and he will go and meet up with them when he is done with his work.

After most of the people who were supposed to leave had left, Kakashi turned his attention to the special ninja, a female ninja from the Hoshigaki clan, whom Mei Terumi had specially summoned.

"Could you tell me more detailed information?"

Kakashi spoke with a serious expression.
