Chapter 263: This important task is entrusted to a double agent
"This?!!"
Kakashi was slightly surprised when he recognized the crow.
This must be Itachi's summoning monster.
How did it fly here?
Both sides are fighting in this battle!
What is Itachi sending the crow for? An attempt to attack the Hokage?
Therefore, Kakashi took out his kunai and prepared to kill this threat.
"Don't worry, it's our own."
Orochimaru stopped Kakashi and told him not to worry.
"Huh?"
When did the notoriously cruel Itachi who slaughtered the entire Uchiha Clan become one of the comrades?
Didn't he say before that he and his accomplices sneaked into Konoha to plot evil and kill Danzo?
The crow didn't bother paying attention to Kakashi and went straight to Kabuto next to Orochimaru.
Kabuto didn't resist, and was immediately dominated by genjutsu.
This allowed Itachi to control Kabuto's body and talk to Orochimaru remotely.
Orochimaru didn't look at the crow, nor did he look back at Kabuto.
Obviously, he was still quite afraid of illusions, but he calmly asked: "Why are you here? Aren't you worried about revealing your identity?"
"The people inside Akatsuki basically trust me, so there's no need to worry about being exposed for the time being." Itachi replied casually.
Besides, the battlefield is so chaotic that it's difficult for Akatsuki to monitor the entire battlefield. What's more, Itachi is not his own body.
"Is there something important?"
"Nagato sent me to kill you!"
Itachi was very straightforward and went straight to the point.
Kakashi next to him was so shocked that he immediately put his kunai on Kabuto's neck.
On the contrary, Orochimaru looked calm and even found it a little funny.
Sending the double agent Itachi to kill him, the leader on the opposite side is also a bit funny!
"How is he sure you can kill me?"
"He knows your illusion was once defeated by me."
Orochimaru's face darkened.
Itachi is still not wise enough! Can he say this more tactfully?
"Then he should also know that I must have been prepared for you and the illusion."
"Yes. So he didn't ask me to kill you, he just sent me to kill you. If possible, as long as I can injure you in battle and get some of your blood, that's enough."
Itachi admitted his purpose of coming, and this is the mission given to him by Nagato.
"My blood? What's the use?"
"Could it be that there is someone in Akatsuki who will reincarnate themselves with Edo Tensei?"
Orochimaru became a little more interested. All techniques that require the use of blood are not simple.
It's not necessarily powerful, but it can indeed arouse Orochimaru's desire to explore.
"After you left, Akatsuki also recruited some members. One of them is a rogue ninja born in Yugakure named Hidan. He has immortality and masters a very strange curse. He can return all the injuries you suffer to the target through the target's blood."
"Even suicide!"
Itachi quickly explained some information about Hidan.
Under his deliberate investigation, except for Nagato and Obito, information about other members of the Akatsuki organization is basically at his fingertips.
When Orochimaru heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Not only was he not afraid, but he was also very excited and said in surprise:
"Immortal! Can he still kill people with curses?"
"Where is this guy named Hidan?!!"
In an instant, Orochimaru became very interested and coveted Hidan. He even designated him as a 'very rare experimental material'.
A perfect research object that will not die.
If he could get him, he couldn't imagine how happy it would be!
Itachi was stunned for a moment, it's really hard to understand.
"Nagato wants to take your blood, then use Hidan's ability to directly curse you to death!"
"I know. But what exactly is the principle of this curse? How is it applied? Are there any limitations?"
"..."
"How about you take some of my blood and let that guy try it directly?"
Orochimaru reached out his hand and suggested cheerfully.
He is obsessed with research and has clearly lost his normal sanity, even daring to risk his life for experiments.
"Hokage-sama!"
Kakashi stopped him quickly, he didn't know if Itachi could be trusted.
But if Orochimaru was really killed, then the entire Konoha would be over.
"Sorry, I got a little excited."
Orochimaru smiled faintly and suppressed some of his research madness.
It was just an irresistible joy.
Ninjutsu experiments are actually still very strict, although Orochimaru is not afraid of most deaths relying on Living Corpse Reincarnation, before he is sure whether the opponent's curse will affect the soul, he still won't risk death.
After Orochimaru that the old man would activate Dead Demon Consuming Seal at every last chance last time, which surprised him greatly.
After that, he also began to delve deeper into the world of souls.
One of his biggest experimental goals is to achieve immortality at the soul level!

"Okay, get to the point. Itachi, what are you going to do with this mission?"
Orochimaru gathered his thoughts and asked about his business.
Itachi would take the initiative to contact him first, there must be a purpose.
It's impossible for him to really want to take Orochimaru's blood, so there's no need to tell him.
"Follow the mission. I will pretend to attack you and return with your blood."
"Actually, you're going to exchange the blood?"
Orochimaru immediately understood.
"Yes!"
Itachi nodded calmly, not feeling any psychological burden for his trickery.
Kakashi looked at the two of them, and silently he exclaimed in contempt.
"Whose blood are you going to exchange?"
"Nagato or Obito."
These are the only people in the Akatsuki organization that Itachi is not sure he can win against.
If he can use this trick to steal one of them and kill one of them, it will be enough to reverse the entire battle!
It might even be possible to win directly!
"What? Obito is still alive? Is that Obito?" Kakashi was shocked.
He didn't know anything and didn't know that the masked man was Obito.
Orochimaru also deliberately concealed this, just because he was worried that Kakashi would be carried away by emotions and do something irrational.
"No, you heard wrong." Orochimaru calmly comforted him.
At the same time, he waved his hand and summoned a snake, which tied Kakashi up like a rice dumpling. Even his mouth was blocked.
"A-A--!"
Kakashi struggled hard, his face full of doubt!
If he heard wrong, why did Orochimaru tie him up?
Is this wrong?
Orochimaru looked at 'Itachi' and continued to ask: "Good idea, but do you have their blood?"
"NO…"
"Is that why you came to me?"
"Yes. I need the allied forces to try their best to kill them both. If you can't kill them, it's best to injure them, then secretly collect their blood and give it to me. Then I will find a way to use illusions to control Hidan to activate the curse."
Itachi revealed his plan.
Compared to Nagato who has Rinnegan, Obito has Mangekyo Sharingan.
It's safer to play dirty.
Itachi has gone through the arrogant and narcissistic era. What's more, he is not in a hurry to seek death before he gets Rinnegan, resurrects his parents, and completes redemption.
"Okay, worth a try!"
Orochimaru was very happy, this poisonous trick is indeed good.
After all, he will eventually fight Nagato and the others, so there is almost no difference.
The difficulty of injuring the target and killing the target is not at the same level.
It would be better if he could defeat Nagato and the others in the end. But if he really can't be defeated, using Hidan to kill with a reverse curse could be one way.
Come to think of it, Akatsuki might not think of it. Together, Itachi and Kisame have become double agents for Konoha themselves.
"My summoning beast is in your hands for now. If you succeed, just give me a blood sample."
Itachi handed the crow to Orochimaru to be 'sent' quickly.
"Okay."
"But you'd better go to Iwagakure to see it now."
"The Fourth Raikage has used a secret technique to teleport to Nagato's hiding place."
"Maybe that reckless guy will just kill Nagato?"
"No matter how bad it is, it will still hurt a little." Orochimaru asked.
It would be even better if the Fourth Raikage could kill Nagato directly.
Itachi was surprised again, he didn't expect the ninja alliance to be so fierce. Even the dignified Fourth Raikage ran to carry out a beheading operation?
With the Fourth Raikage's speed, it's very likely that he can succeed!
In this battle, both sides are using all their strength and strategies in an attempt to defeat the other side!
No matter which side wins in the end, the future structure of the entire ninja world will be significantly rewritten.
