Naruto: Uchiha's Harem

But the boy in front of him actually managed to escape just by taking off a piece of clothing?

"Let's retreat for now, Kisame, their reinforcements have arrived," Uchiha Itachi covered one of his bleeding eyes and used the other to see two masked Konoha ninjas rapidly approaching this place.

They were the Anbu of Konoha Village.

'Finally, there is an excuse to stop fighting.'

'But, who exactly is this Uchiha Kage…?'

If everything before his eyes wasn't so incredibly real, he would have thought he was under someone's genjutsu today.

How could there possibly be someone in this world completely immune to his pupil techniques?

"Retreat? My Samehada is still…", Kisame reluctantly glanced at the Samehada Greatsword carried on Uchiha Kage's back.

'That is my sword!'

"We can retrieve the sword later," Uchiha Itachi's face was covered in cold sweat from overusing his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Understood,"

Seeing that his companion was no longer in a condition to fight, Kisame had no choice but to temporarily give up on reclaiming Samehada.

The two quickly chose a direction and disappeared from the spot.

———

"Why would the Anbu come here?"

Seeing Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame retreat, and the two Anbu ninjas leaping towards them from not far away, Yūhi Kurenai was full of confusion.

"I sent a message in advance,"

Knowing that Uchiha Itachi wouldn't kill Yūhi Kurenai, Uchiha Kage had used a carrier pigeon to contact the Anbu ninjas who had already set out from Konoha Village to meet him and go to the Land of Water to complete a mission, as soon as he saw Uchiha Itachi enter the village.

This is the role of intelligence.

Similarly, he could handle Kisame because he was familiar with all of Kisame's intelligence.

"Where is Uchiha Itachi?", Gekkō Hayate, panting heavily, warily drew his ninja sword, but there was no sign of the so-called Uchiha Itachi in front of him.

Only the devastated street houses seemed to tell of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

"Are you… alright?", After receiving the message from Uchiha Kage, Uzuki Yugao hurriedly brought Gekkō Hayate with her to rush over.

That was Uchiha Itachi, even with the elite jōnin Yūhi Kurenai leading, it was probably…

However, upon seeing that Yūhi Kurenai and Uchiha Kage's group were all safe and sound, she began to wonder how everyone had managed to avoid Uchiha Itachi's attack.

"We're fine, thanks to you, we scared him off."

"It was clearly you who…", Yūhi Kurenai was about to commend her student in front of her when he covered her mouth with his hand.

"Uchiha Itachi and his rogue ninja companion fled after seeing our reinforcements from Konoha."

Uchiha Kage intended to omit his role in the recent skirmish.

Although he hadn't revealed any particularly special ninjutsu, the results were still too dazzling.

If the villagers, especially Danzō, found out, there would probably be no peace in the future.

"But we managed to hold out until now, thanks to our teacher,"

So Uchiha Kage planned to attribute all the credit to Yūhi Kurenai.

"Don't cover your teacher's mouth!", Yūhi Kurenai slapped away Uchiha Kage's hand that was covering her mouth, but upon realizing, she didn't expose her student.

"Yes, it was me, I held off Uchiha Itachi," Although she didn't know why this bratty student wanted to hide his abilities, as his teacher, she naturally had to stand by her student.

'Besides, this guy just saved me, even his hand…

'

"As expected of Kurenai-senpai, an elite jōnin of the village… even able to handle an S-class rogue ninja like Uchiha Itachi," Gekkō Hayate, on the other hand, had no doubts and naturally assumed that Yūhi Kurenai had held off Uchiha Itachi.

So he couldn't help but heap praise.

"Then please trouble Kurenai-senpai to report to the Hokage, Hayate, Kage, and I have another mission," Since they were comrades from the village, Uzuki Yugao and Gekkō Hayate both removed their masks.

"Another mission? Wait, Kage too?", Yūhi Kurenai didn't expect that in just a moment of distraction, her good student had already changed into the attire of an Anbu ninja.

"Correct, teacher, I am now a member of the Anbu, please take the Samehada Greatsword back to the village and hand it over to the Hokage."

"You… you really know how to boss your teacher around!", Yūhi Kurenai had no idea her student had joined the Anbu so early.

However, considering Uchiha Kage's extraordinary strength, it seemed only natural.

"But next time, you must inform your teacher in advance, or I will really get angry," Reluctantly carrying Samehada on her back, Yūhi Kurenai issued a double-edged warning to Uchiha Kage.

It was both about hiding his abilities and not telling her about joining the Anbu.

"Understood, teacher, next time for sure."

'What an easy-to-handle teacher.

'

Uchiha Kage thought it would take a lot of talking to get Yūhi Kurenai to help him, but he didn't expect her to understand everything with just one word.

"But teacher, this sword is a living thing and has a master, it's best to tie it up before…", Uchiha Kage was worried that Samehada might harm Yūhi Kurenai on the way.

"No need for such trouble, your teacher knows sealing techniques," Taking out a special scroll from her waist pouch, Yūhi Kurenai neatly sealed Samehada inside the scroll.

"As expected of the teacher, even knowing such powerful sealing techniques," Seeing Yūhi Kurenai's proud expression, Uchiha Kage also gave her the emotional satisfaction she needed at the right time.

"Hmph!", But Yūhi Kurenai just snorted coldly.

Although she didn't think the student was mocking her, she was still angry about Uchiha Kage's concealment.

She would have to interrogate him properly once they returned to the village.

For example, where did this bratty student learn a ninjutsu like the Rasengan?

"Let's go, Hinata, Shino, we need to return to the village quickly and not hinder someone's mission."

However, no matter what, the great crisis was finally over.

Yūhi Kurenai felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.

"Yes!"

Nodding towards Uchiha Kage, Shino of course also knew Uchiha Kage's desire not to be too high-profile.

So he just exchanged a knowing glance with him and said no more.

"But teacher, we need to be more careful on the way back, right?"

"With Hinata's Byakugan, as long as we keep moving towards the village without stopping, there shouldn't be any problems."

Yūhi Kurenai knew that the village wasn't too far from here, and with a bit more caution, even if Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame came back, there wouldn't be much danger.

And Uchiha Kage didn't entrust this valuable ninja sword to anyone else but had her, his teacher, personally take it back, mostly to make up for the failure of this mission outside the village and the reputation of her class in the village.

'What a meddlesome guy who likes to boss his teacher around!'

"Hmm…", Hinata blankly looked at Uchiha Kage dressed in Anbu attire, then blushed and lowered her head.

Only she knew what had happened when he dodged Amaterasu.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't tell anyone.

And…

Now her mind was full of thoughts, 'Is Kage-kun from my 'dreams' at night the same person as the Kage-kun here?'

Then she denied it in her heart but secretly harbored expectations and doubts.

And so… these two emotions cycled back and forth in her mind, pulling at her until they finally came to nothing.

———

"Itachi-san, about this matter…", After running dozens of miles, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame gradually stopped.

"That Uchiha brat seems to know all about our intelligence."

But they knew nothing about him.

It was a bit frustrating to fight like this.

Moreover, after losing his ninja sword Samehada, Kisame was unusually uneasy.

He even began to suspect whether everything today was another directed act by Uchiha Itachi.

"Hmm," Uchiha Itachi nodded faintly, his body's weakness making his face somewhat pale.

"This was an unexpected situation."

'Was that boy really from the Uchiha clan?

'

He felt that in some ways, his mysteriousness was particularly similar to the mysterious masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara that he had encountered years ago.

"Unexpected? Itachi-san, really not you…"

Not only Uchiha Itachi himself, but Kisame found it even harder to accept that his Mangekyō Sharingan had no effect on that Uchiha Kage.

So much so that he was particularly inclined to suspect that Itachi had sold his intelligence and then staged such a show.

"Don't speak of meaningless suspicions, where is 'Tobi' now?"

But Uchiha Itachi ignored all this and suddenly asked a question that caught Kisame off guard.

"Tobi? What are you talking about?"

Kisame was shocked in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.

"Without Samehada, you can no longer monitor me."

Although he got along quite well with this 'colleague' from the Akatsuki, Uchiha Itachi emotionlessly exposed Hoshigaki Kisame's hidden identity.

"So, tell me, where is Tobi now? I need to talk to him in person."

Uchiha Itachi thought that perhaps only a certain masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara, 'Tobi', would know the true identity of Uchiha Kage.

Or perhaps, Uchiha Kage was the masked man Tobi himself, or a nail deliberately left in Konoha by him.
