Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 141 Itachi and Kisame

the next day.

The dark, rainy clouds that had shrouded Konoha for nearly a week finally released their last drop of rain, revealing a breathtaking blue sky and white clouds.

The fierce autumn heat dissipated before it even began to wreak havoc in Konoha's stable climate.

A gentle, comfortable breeze blows, and the wind chimes tinkle softly.

Two mysterious figures, clad in black robes and wearing straw hats, passed through the heavily guarded and poorly constructed barrier of the Anbu and arrived on the bustling streets of Konoha.

"Wow, so this is your hometown, Mr. Itachi? It's quite a bustling place!"

Looking at the ubiquitous two-story detached houses and the uniform street architecture, Kisame sighed, "Compared to Konoha, Kirigakure is far inferior!"

"There's no need to belittle yourself. Didn't Kirigakure also get a new Mizukage? I've heard the new Mizukage is quite good!"

Itachi Uchiha said calmly.

"Mei Terumi, huh? Heh, she's really not bad!"

A beautiful and alluring figure flashed in Kisame's black and white shark eyes.

As a genius of the same era in the Mist Village, Mei Terumi naturally had dealings with Kisame.

If he hadn't defected and had continued working in the Anbu, it's really uncertain who would have become the Mizukage in the end!

However, now that he's gone, all of this is in the past for Kisame.

Returning to the present moment, Kisame said, "But among the current Mizukage, Mei Terumi is good, but she can't compare to the Hokage who was resurrected in Konoha, can she?"

"The legendary Second Hokage of Konoha, Tobirama Senju, was the one who single-handedly established the system of ninja villages. Apart from Konoha, the systems of all other ninja villages were clumsy imitations of Konoha!"

A glint of excitement flashed in Kisame's eyes: "Hey, I'm actually kind of interested in fighting him. I've heard that the Second Hokage's Water Release techniques are even more powerful than the Mizukage's?"

As luck would have it, Kisame, being a tailless tailed beast, is also skilled in water-style techniques!

"Mr. Itachi, do you think we'll encounter the Second Hokage this time?"

Kisame looked at his teammates, his terrifying shark face filled with a thirst for battle.

However, when faced with the excited Kisame, Itachi Uchiha did not say whether he would or would not.

He said calmly, "Calm down, Kisame, you're too excited!"

"This time, the leader's mission for us is to confirm whether the Second Hokage of Konoha has really been resurrected, and at the same time, to assess the situation in Konoha."

"Although this is destined to be a major battle, we also have an investigation to conduct, and we can't expose ourselves so quickly!"

"Uh..." Kisame was taken aback, then lowered his head: "Sorry, I was just too excited!"

"It's alright, just calm down!" Itachi Uchiha didn't pursue the matter.

"So Itachi, what are we going to do now? Is there a place where we can see a lot of Konoha ninja and check their condition?" Kisame asked.

"..."

Hearing Kisame's words, Itachi Uchiha was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

“Of course there are places like that!” Itachi Uchiha took the lead and walked ahead.

A moment later, a dumpling shop with a signboard featuring three-colored dumplings appeared.

"what!"

Kisame took a bite of the dumpling that Itachi Uchiha had given him, and the sweetness made his teeth ache.

Somewhat sullenly, Kisame put down the rice ball in his hand and helplessly scraped the sticky rice ball off his teeth with his hand: "This stuff is way too sweet. Does anyone really like to eat this?"

"Also, Itachi, didn't we come here to check on the current state of Konoha? Why are we sitting here eating dumplings?"

Looking at Itachi Uchiha, who had quietly eaten more than a dozen skewers of meatballs, Kisame, who knew him very well, could sense that Itachi was actually in a pretty good mood, even though Itachi's face was still that poker face.

Kisame suddenly asked, "Itachi, you don't want to eat him, do you?"

"Of course not!"

Uchiha Itachi calmly put down the skewer in his hand and gracefully took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"Really?" Kisame was still skeptical.

"Of course!"

Itachi Uchiha nodded.

Although his facial expressions were perfectly controlled, Kisame's judgments weren't based solely on rationality; intuition was equally important.

Reason requires evidence, but intuition does not.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha quickly brought up the topic of diverting Kisame's attention.

"While you were completely absorbed by the Maruko, I had already gained complete control of the situation in Konoha!"

"what?"

Listening to Itachi Uchiha's words, Kisame's face was full of the blankness he had felt after daydreaming for a minute during math class.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do? And what is the teacher talking about?

Uchiha Itachi continued, "Haven't you noticed? Our dango shop is old, but the decoration is exquisite, the quality is very good, and the overall style is very comfortable, so it is a high-end dango shop."

"These kinds of dumpling shops are too expensive, so they are usually only frequented by female ninjas and some rich girls."

"So, do you understand now?"

Itachi Uchiha threw the question to Kisame.

At this point, after the specific problems were broken down, Kisame's brain finally came online.

"I see. So, those who come to eat here are usually wealthy people. But wealthy people generally only frequent stable environments. Konoha has just been attacked, so it can hardly be considered stable. Yet they are still active in Konoha. In other words, Konoha has given them confidence!"

“Yes!” Itachi Uchiha nodded. “And that’s not all!”

He gestured around, "Haven't you noticed how many female ninjas there are here?"

In the ninja world, female ninjas are actually a valuable resource.

After all, ninja aptitude is a real thing.

A good union between a man and a woman often produces an even better next generation.

Even if the next generation doesn't have the exceptional talent of a genetic mutation like Itachi Uchiha, they can at least continue to carry on the legacy of ninjas.

For ninja villages, which are organizations composed of individual ninjas, the passing down of traditions is especially important.

Therefore, no ninja village will ever use its female ninja resources in large quantities unless it is in the most urgent situation.

Therefore, the current state of female ninjas in a village can, to some extent, indicate the current state of the village itself.

The female ninjas of Konoha are currently quite relaxed.

It's hard to judge the specifics of wealthy people because of their confidence, but it's very straightforward with female ninjas!

"I see, that's right!"

Having grasped the intricacies of the situation, Kisame looked around and saw a variety of beautiful female ninjas—some charming, some heroic, some alluring, some fiery—which cleansed his eyes, which had been polluted by the demons and monsters of Kirigakure.

Kisame's face showed a slightly wistful expression: "The female ninjas of Konoha are really something!"

"If I had... never mind, for an ordinary ninja, it wouldn't be bad to be able to marry one!"

"These kids are all so bright and intelligent. Their future generations are sure to be outstanding. No wonder they were able to raise someone like Mr. Itachi!"

As he spoke, it seemed as if he had triggered some kind of switch, and Kisame began to observe the female ninjas in the dumpling shop with great interest, judging the aptitude of their future children.

As Kisame looked around, a pair of buttocks, bulging and rounded, encased in black leather pants, caught his eye.

"Wow!" Kisame exclaimed, pointing as if he had discovered a new continent. "Itachi, look at that female ninja!"

"Although it's a bit young, in my judgment it's definitely a good mother!"

"I remember that you and your brother are the only ones left in the Uchiha clan now, right? It's a pity that something as amazing as the Sharingan has died out. How about we capture her and raise her for a few years, so she can give you a few big, healthy sons?"

Kisame said excitedly and casually.

However, Kisame, who was more inclined towards martial arts and had lower perception, did not notice.

As he spoke, the air in the dumpling shop, which was still relatively cool, suddenly turned icy cold!
