Kimimaro was afflicted with a hereditary genetic disease that left him with little ti to live.
This was sothing Itachi had sensed from the beginning.
The two were very similar.
Both possessed powerful bloodline limits, both suffered from incurable diseases, and both endured imnse physical tornt.
The only difference was that Itachi could hold on for a few more years, while Kimimaro was already at the end of his rope.
As he approached Kimimaro, looking at this descendant of the Kaguya clan, much like the Uchiha, whose clan was also wiped out, and the only remaining wielder of Shikotsumyaku, Itachi seed to see his own future.
"Cough, cough."
Even his coughing had grown weak. Kimimaro noticed Itachi's approach and had no more regrets.
"Forgive , Orochimaru-sama," he said silently in his heart, and with the last bit of chakra left in his body, he activated his final move.
With a splatter of blood, a bone spike pierced through Kimimaro's heart, extending out from his chest.
At that mont, the life of Kaguya Kimimaro ca to an end.
"Even to the end, you refused to betray Orochimaru's location? Cough, cough," Itachi murmured, coughing lightly.
Knowing that Kimimaro's last act was to keep Orochimaru's secrets and avoid interrogation, Itachi silently buried Kimimaro's body in a deep pit.
After finishing this, Itachi put his hat back on, and with a flick of his palm, a black crow took flight, cutting through the sky towards the distance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of shadow clones being destroyed and the crackle of lightning filled the air.
Despite the combined efforts of Sasuke and Naruto, Kisa handled them with ease, forcing the duo into dire straits.
Unaware that he was at the pinnacle of his life, pressing two of the future greats of the shinobi world-Asura and Indra's reincarnations-into a corner, Kisa had no interest in dragging things out.
He kicked Sasuke, who could see the attack but couldn't dodge, sending him flying, and aid Sahada's fierce strike at Naruto.
Compared to Itachi's brother, Kisa found the Nine-Tails brat more to his liking.
Seeing the attack coming, Naruto was about to dodge when a green blur sped past him. "Leaf Hurricane!"
A powerful upward kick sent the unprepared Kisa flying.
Accompanying this was a spirited shout: "The Beautiful Green Beast of Konoha has arrived!"
"Bushy Brows! You're here!!" Naruto exclaid joyfully, recognizing the newly healed Rock
Lee.
Lee turned and gave a thumbs up, his white teeth sparkling as he said: "It's not just ."
Not far away, Sasuke, who had been kicked by Kisa, saw this and turned to leave without a word.
Unaware of Sasuke's departure, Naruto soon understood what Lee ant by "not just ." The sound of a thousand birds chirping filled the air once more.
Like a hidden assassin, Kakashi erged from the dust, the Chidori in his hand crackling with energy as he approached Kisa.
"You!"
Kisa recognized the newcor.
The next mont, a thunderous explosion resounded.
As the dust settled, Kakashi appeared, leaping to Naruto and Lee's side.
Tsunade, worried about Shikamaru's team, had not only sent the Sand Shinobi and Lee but also dispatched Kakashi, who had just returned from a mission and hadn't even had ti to rest.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Naruto, seeing Kakashi, felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He pointed excitedly to where Sasuke had been: "Look, Kakashi-sensei, I found Sasuke! He was just helping fight that
shark guy."
Kakashi quickly scanned the area Naruto pointed to, finding it empty. "Huh? Where's Sasuke?"
Naruto, also noticing, widened his eyes.
Where was Sasuke?
Naruto, panicking, was about to run off to find Sasuke.
Kakashi stopped him.
"The danger isn't over yet."
As the dust settled, Kisa, though looking a bit worse for wear, was still ready for battle.
"Hatake Kakashi, didn't expect you to recover from Itachi's genjutsu so quickly," Kisa remarked, shouldering Sahada.
"I didn't expect it either," Kakashi replied calmly, drawing a kunai and preparing for battle. He knew Sasuke was nearby, but now was not the ti to be distracted.
For the village, the importance of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki far outweighed that of Sasuke.
Therefore, facing another sudden encounter with the mysterious Akatsuki mber who specialized in capturing tailed beasts, he had to keep Naruto within his sight.
The wind rustled, bending the grass on the battlefield.
Kakashi, Lee, and even Naruto braced themselves for battle once more.
Kisa, lifting Sahada, was ready to go all out when a crow suddenly descended from the
sky, landing on his shoulder.
Kisa, seeing this, montarily lowered Sahada and asked the crow:
"Itachi, what is it?"
From the crow ca Itachi's voice:
"I've dealt with Orochimaru's subordinate but couldn't get any information. Capture one of
the remaining targets alive."
"Seems that young man was quite skilled."
Knowing Itachi's abilities, Kisa was surprised and then looked at Naruto and the others. "However, I still have so unfinished business here. Rember that Nine-Tails brat? I ran into him on the way. And Hatake Kakashi, who was under your genjutsu, is also here."
"Kakashi, huh..."
The crow on Kisa's shoulder turned its red Sharingan eye towards the Konoha group, as if Itachi himself could see them.
He said, "Taking them down isn't a quick job. Comparatively, I'm more interested in Orochimaru's whereabouts. His subordinates won't hold out much longer."
"I see."
Recalling the conflict between Orochimaru and Itachi within Akatsuki, Kisa nodded knowingly and sheathed Sahada. "Alright, I'll follow your lead and deal with Orochimaru
first."
All workers need not overextend themselves.
Even the boss, Pain, wasn't in a hurry to reclaim the Nine-Tails, so Kisa wasn't either.
He had only been acting out of a "might as well" ntality. Now that reinforcents had arrived for the opposition, making the outco uncertain, Kisa simply decided to
withdraw.
Whoosh! Kisa's figure flickered and vanished.
Seeing this, Lee asked Kakashi: "Kakashi-sensei, should we pursue him?"
"No," Kakashi shook his head, thinking about the crow on Kisa's shoulder and knowing
Itachi was likely nearby.
Not knowing why they had suddenly withdrawn, Kakashi didn't want to stir up more trouble.
"Our mission is..."
Before Kakashi could finish, Naruto suddenly realized and yelled: "Sasuke!!!"
He then sped off in the direction Sasuke had gone.
"Our mission is...that," Kakashi completed his sentence with a shake of his head and followed
Naruto.
