As usual, everyone took their time for a few minutes before continuing to watch. According to Tsunade, this action could calm their nerves because of the tension that occurred while they were watching.

"Okay, I'll continue with the video," Tsunade announced to everyone. She then took the remote that was on the table in front of her and pointed it at the screen, but before she could press any buttons, someone interrupted her.

"Ahem, wait a minute!" Oz said suddenly, drawing everyone's attention to the speaker hanging in the corner of the room.

"What is it?" Tsunade asked.

"Before you guys start, I want to bring a few more people into this room."

Those words shocked everyone, they thought that they were the people Naruto had chosen to watch this future, but apparently there were others.

"Uh, who?" Kiba asked.

"They still come from Konoha, and I hope you can tell them what you experienced while here," said Oz, right after that six pieces of smoke appeared in front of them.

"Hah! What happened!?" a woman's voice came from one of the clouds of smoke.

Tsunade and the others waited for the collection of smoke to dissipate, after the collection of smoke disappeared they finally found out who the newest guest invited by Oz was.

They are Akimichi Chouza, Hyuuga Hanabi, Hyuuga Hiashi, Mitarashi Anko, Nara Shikaku, and Yamanaka Inoichi.

"Father!" Ino said surprised after her father appeared.

"Ino!" Inoichi said surprised to see his daughter.

"So you were brought here too, dad," Shikamaru said as he approached his father.

"Where is this?" Shikaku asked.

"Well, there's a lot to explain."

"Father! Hanabi!" said Hinata approaching her family.

"Eh, onee-chan?" Hanabi said surprised.

"Hinata, what happened?" Hiashi asked seriously while looking around him.

"About that-"

"I'll explain," said Tsunade suddenly, those who had just arrived immediately bowed respectfully when they saw Tsunade walking closer.

After that Tsunade began to explain everything that happened, starting when they were suddenly brought here by Oz, their purpose here, and everything they had watched until now.

Shikaku and the others had a hard time admitting the truth of the story but they weren't stupid enough to deny it after their own experiences.

"I see, I didn't think something like this could happen," Hiashi said crossing his arms.

"And Uchiha Itachi was also brought here," said Inoichi narrowing his eyes at Itachi.

"Yeah, for some reason Naruto trusted Itachi, something must have happened in the future to make him trust him. For now I entrust Kakashi and Guy to watch over him," said Tsunade.

"Good decision, both of them can be trusted for the task," said Shikaku nodding in agreement.

"For now please sit down, we will start the next video in a moment."

The newcomers nodded and began to choose their respective seats, after making sure everyone was ready, Tsunade began to turn on the screen.

"T-This person is Uchiha… Itachi!" Sakura said with wide eyes, she had mixed feelings seeing Itachi.

"So we do see the future, huh," Chouza said.

"Yeah, from Hokage-sama's story, Team Kakashi is heading to Akatsuki's hideout to save the Kazekage," Inoichi said crossing his arms.

"Until they were confronted by Itachi as we saw on the screen," said Shikaku.

"Itachi... Ho, so this is the child who killed all his family," said Granny Chiyo.

"Hmm, so that old lady is still alive," Hiashi muttered.

"Do you know who she is, father?" Hanabi asked.

"Yes, she was one of Suna's great Shinobi, her name was quite famous during the war in the past."

"Wow, she must be really strong for you to remember her, father."

"…" Hiashi didn't say anything else and neither confirmed nor blamed Hanabi's words.

Itachi who was standing in front of Naruto and the others just gave an expressionless look, "Long time no see, Kakashi-san, Naruto-kun."

"Heh, he greeted them like a friend who hasn't seen each other for a long time," said Anko a little amused.

"That's probably because he doesn't consider them a threat at all," Asuma said.

"Yeah, considering he could beat Kakashi without moving a finger, and if I'm not mistaken now he's also not using his real body," said Kurenai.

"What does it mean?" Anko asked confused.

"I don't know, I don't understand either," said Kurenai shrugging.

"Perhaps we will see the answer after this battle ends," Asuma said.

Naruto gritted his teeth as he stared at Itachi viciously, he still hadn't forgotten what Itachi had done to Sasuke in the past.

"The same Sharingan as Sasuke-kun," thought Sakura while glaring at Itachi. "He is the one who made Sasuke-kun and Naruto suffer."

"His eyes and face are very similar, he really is Sasuke-kun's older brother. But why could he do something as cruel as slaughtering his own family?" Sakura thought with a frown.

"You bastard..." Naruto growled. "Not only me, but Gaara too! I will defeat all of you!"

Itachi didn't say anything and remained silent, he wasn't affected by Naruto's anger. He then moved his right hand.

"!" Kakashi who saw the movement widened his eyes. "Everyone, don't look directly into his eyes! That is dangerous!"

"Right, he is also an Uchiha so we have to be careful with his eyes," Gaara said crossing his arms.

"Are those eyes really that dangerous? I understand that eyes are special but I don't really know about their abilities," Kankurou said uncertainly.

"I don't know either but I know that those eyes are dangerous, that's what I felt when facing Uchiha Sasuke in the past."

"Maybe we will see more about the power of that eye here, considering that this video will also focus on Uchiha Sasuke," said Temari.

"Hmm, you're right," said Kankurou rubbing his chin.

Itachi was unfazed by Kakashi's warning and performed hand seals.

"What should we do?" Sakura asked warily.

Kakashi didn't answer while he tried to remember his conversation with Guy in the past.

Guy… you fought Itachi?

Hmm?

"…Judge his movement from his body leg moment. Itachi's Genjutsu is an Eye Jutsu, in other words it is Sight Type. You'll be fine as long as you avoid direct eye contact," Kakashi explained.

Sakura narrowed her eyes, trying to do as Kakashi instructed, but it was difficult for her to see the enemy without looking at his enemy's face.

"Indeed, it was very difficult," Sakura said frowning.

"The eyes are one part of the body that we often look at to find out the enemy's movements. We can still focus on their leg movements but it's still difficult without seeing their eye movements," said Ino.

"Moreover, Sharingan users are generally Genjutsu experts, one look from their eyes means we will be hit by their Genjutsu, that's when the fight ends," added Shikamaru while remembering the Sharingan abilities he had read in books and parchments.

"So how are they going to fight Itachi?" Chouji asked confused.

"That's what we're going to see now."

"It's really hard," Sakura admitted.

"Hm, Uchiha clan. It's been a long time since I fought a Sharingan user," Granny Chiyo said calmly. "Well, there's no need to be overwhelmed. There are many tactics to counter this Eye Jutsu."

Naruto who was listening looked at Granny Chiyo expectantly, "What should we do?"

"If it's one on one, make sure you run away. If it's two against one, take the back," answered Granny Chiyo in an expression, making Naruto frown.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked confused.

"If it's two against one, even if one is trapped in a Genjutsu, there's still one left behind the opponent. If they hit his real body, his Genjutsu will break down. Even though it's impossible, they can help their partner by canceling the Genjutsu themselves," explained Granny Chiyo. "This means that if there are many opponents, one person can divert. And the others can move behind, into the Sharingan's blind spot, and attack."

"Ooh, so there is a way like that," said Lee in amazement.

"Yes, it's impossible to be alone, but it's a different story if you're fighting lots of people," said Tenten.

"..." Neji didn't say anything, to be honest he also agreed with Granny Chiyo's words but there was something in him that that information alone wasn't enough against Itachi.

Not only Neji, several veteran Shinobi also felt the same doubts. Everyone besides them was fixated on Itachi's Sharingan and Genjutsu abilities, but they forgot that Itachi didn't only have that power.

"Well, what are you going to do now, Itachi?" Kakashi thought curiously.

After hearing Granny Chiyo's explanation, Sakura and Naruto's expressions brightened. They understand what they have to do.

"I understand," Sakura said.

"Yeah, that old hag is useful," Naruto said grinning.

"Well, it's fine for normal level Genjutsu. But in this case, it would be a bit troublesome," Kakashi said.

"What do you mean?" Granny Chiyo asked.

"He uses an Eye Jutsu that surpasses the normal Sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan," Kakashi said seriously. "If you are hit by his Eye Jutsu, the Genjutsu's effects will affect you instantly. There is no way to undo the effect."

"Mangekyou Sharingan, eye power that surpasses Sasuke-kun..." Sakura muttered a little anxiously, even with an ordinary Sharingan she didn't have the confidence to be able to beat Itachi, now with power that exceeds that.

"So we can't just fight him carelessly, huh..." Ino said biting her lower lip.

"It's normal if your opponent is a Class S criminal, if you're careless a little, you'll die," said Asuma warningly.

Sakura who heard that gulped nervously because her future self was now facing this dangerous enemy. She just hoped everything was fine.

Hearing that, Naruto and Sakura couldn't help but widen their eyes. While they had hopes of defeating the enemy, those hopes were destroyed in an instant.

"What a troublesome person, who exactly is he?" complained Granny Chiyou.

"That's Kakashi-san for you. That, after being affected by my Tsukuyomi just once," Itachi said in praise.

"Not only that. After you use that Eye Jutsu, you become tired and immediately leave the fight," said Kakashi while remembering his last meeting with Itachi.

"Oh, that means it can't be used for long, then we just have to buy time until he gets tired," said Kiba grinning.

"Stupid, if you focus too much on that then you will be the one who loses later," rebuked Kurenai.

"Huh? What do you mean, Kurenai-sensei?" Kiba asked confusedly.

"Would you think a dangerous enemy like that would be defeated with just such tactics? He could have used a technique you know nothing about, do you still think stalling would be an effective plan?"

"Well, that..." Kiba scratched his head not knowing how to answer Kurenai's question.

"The answer is no, we must always have a backup plan no matter what the enemy is. Please remember that, Kiba."

"Okay, sensei."

But Itachi-san, using your eyes too much is dangerous for you.

We didn't come to start a war. It's regrettable, but more than that it's nonsense. We will go.

"Apart from requiring quite a lot of Chakra, it also poses a big risk to your eyes, doesn't it, Itachi?"

"Well analyzed, considering you only fought me once," Itachi said.

"Haha, leave it to my rival when it comes to brainpower," said Guy with a laugh.

"As casually as you talk, it's troublesome, you know?" Kakashi said unimpressed.

"Itachi..." Kakashi said as he moved the head protector that covered his eyes up, revealing his scarred eye. "To what extent has your vision deteriorated?"

Itachi's eyes widened as he understood what Kakashi meant.

"Huh? What does that mean, sensei?" Sakura asked, she and several others were confused by the meaning of Kakashi's words.

"Well… maybe you should see it in person when the time comes, I'm sure it will happen in the future," Kakashi said avoiding the question.

"..." Sakura just looked at Kakashi with a look full of questions, but seeing that Kakashi had no intention of answering in the end she gave up and looked back at the screen.

"Could it be that using those eyes too much could cause blindness?" Tsunade thought wonderingly. She couldn't help but feel curious about the answer but like Kakashi said, she had to wait.

"…"

There was a moment of silence as Itachi and Kakashi were both silent, then Itachi looked at Kakashi with a calculating gaze.

"Kakashi-san, No way, you..." Itachi didn't finish his words and looked into Kakashi's eyes.

"Well, last time I wasn't prepared, but I'm not like that this time," Kakashi said. "It won't go the same as last time."

Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto grinned, "If you think I will be the same as before, you are very wrong!"

"Naruto, I'll handle it," Kakashi said suddenly.

Naruto frowned, showing his disapproval, "If I can't fight anymore, where is the teamwork!?"

"No, this time I want you to protect me. Really, I want to say 'Hurry up' rashly, but if I'm the opponent, I can't handle it alone," Kakashi explained.

Hearing that, Naruto grinned as he turned back to face Itachi. There was an eerie silence between them while Itachi just stared calmly.

Sakura swallowed hard, even though they were just talking and strategizing for now, she could already feel the nervousness inside her. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if a fight actually happened.

"Hopefully everything is fine," Sakura thought praying in her heart.

Meanwhile in another place there was a fight, Maito Guy kicked Hoshigaki Kisame but Kisame managed to block Guy's kick with the hilt of his Samehada sword, but Guy didn't give up, he clamped the sword hilt with his foot and kicked the sword with his other foot, making Kisame's grip on Samemada loose.

"Oh, looks like we're moving on to your fight, Guy," Kakashi said.

"Good, I've been waiting for this for a while. I don't want you to take all the credit, Kakashi," Guy said grinning.

"I don't want that anyway," Kakashi said frowning.

"Oooh, your moves are so cool, Guy-sensei!" shouted Lee happily.

"Good, he managed to release the sword," said Tenten clenching her fists excitedly.

"Yeah, that sword looks dangerous, it would be better if we fight him without it," Neji said.

Using the folds of his legs, Guy sandwiched Samehada and took it away from Kisame, "Now!" Guy shouted.

Hearing that, Kisame was surprised by Lee, Neji and Tenten who were ready with their respective attacks and lunged at Kisame.

"Tch!" Kisame clicked his tongue before quickly using hand seals. "Mizubunshin no Jutsu!"

Right after that, three shadows of Kisame made of water appeared around him and repelled each attack from the other three members of Team Guy.

"Damn, he can use Bunshin too," Kankurou said annoyed.

"That was close, but now he can't use his sword. They should have a chance," said Temari.

"…" Gaara narrowed his eyes. It shouldn't be that easy, he thought that the Bunshin Kisame made wasn't just for defense.

Kisame wasted no time and formed another hand seal, "Suiro no Jutsu!"

Each Bunshin made by Kisame released a jet of water and hit Neji and the others.

"What!?" Neji said surprised.

"What!?"

Some people were surprised when they saw what Kisame's Bunshin did, they didn't expect that the Bunshin could attack when blocking Neji and the others' attacks.

"That hand seal..." Kakashi narrowed his eyes at Kisame's movements, then his eyes widened when he recognized the hand seal that Kisame made. "That's bad, Guy. You have to do something quickly."

"Yeah, I know," said Guy gritting his teeth, he knew the dangerous situation on screen.

"Damn!" Guy cursed in his mind seeing what Kisame was planning, he quickly headed towards Kisame by swinging Samehada.

"!" but before he managed to hit Kisame, Guy grimaced in pain when Samehada's handle appeared sharp spikes that injured his hand, making Samehada slip out of his grip.

"Wait, what happened to that sword?" Ino asked in surprise.

"The handle suddenly spiked," Sakura said widening her eyes.

"It must be a unique sword considering that it is one of the swords of the 7 Shinobi Swordsmen of the Mist," said Shikamaru narrowing his eyes.

"7 Shinobi Swordsmen of the Mist... just like Zabuza," thought Sakura while remembering Team 7's first enemy.

"What happened to that sword, Itachi?" Guy asked, as someone who grimaced when his hand was torn off by the hilt of a sword, Guy deserved that answer.

"Samehada is a sword that chooses its own master, if someone it doesn't recognize suddenly uses it, then they will suffer the same fate as you," answered Itachi.

"It looked like the sword itself was alive," Jiraiya said frowning.

"You can say that."

"So that's why the sword attacked me," Guy muttered as he rubbed his chin.

Meanwhile, Neji and the others couldn't avoid Kisame's surprise Bunshin attack and each of them ended up encased in a ball of water.

"Gyahh!"

"Guh!"

"Guah!"

Neji and the others are trapped in Kisame's Water Prison where each of his Bunshins guards the prison while the real one confronts Guy.

"Oi, you've got to be kidding me! Bunshin can do that too!?" Kiba shouted.

"Of course, can't you create a Bunshin yourself and perform your Jutsu?" Shino asked.

"That's not what I meant, he not only formed three Bunshins but also used high level Jutsu simultaneously. The amount of chakra he has is truly incredible."

"Remember that he is called the 'Tailless Bijuu'. So it's not surprising that he can do it all."

"Tch! This is my first time seeing Akatsuki fight and we're already dealing with monsters," Kiba said clicking his tongue.

Hinata didn't say anything while Shino and Kiba were talking, all this time her gaze didn't leave the screen when Neji and the others were trapped in the Water Prison. She was very worried, even though she knew that the Neji on the screen was Neji in the future, she still couldn't get rid of her worries.

"Hope you're okay, niisan," thought Hinata while holding her own hand tightly.

"Guh... I can't breathe..." thought Tenten, struggling to control her breathing.

"Damn!" Neji grumbled.

"I can't move…" thought Lee gritting his teeth.

"W-We really got caught, what should we do!?" said Tenten in panic seeing herself in trouble on the screen.

"Don't worry Tenten, Guy-sensei will definitely do something," Lee said confidently.

"How can you be confident like that!?"

"I don't know, but I know that Guy-sensei can beat him."

"Lee is right, trust Guy-sensei, Tenten. We've known him for a long time, you should know that obstacles like this won't be enough to stop him," said Neji, agreeing with Lee.

Tenten stared at her two teammates in disbelief for a few moments before she realized and sighed, they were right and Tenten should have realized that, that their usually silly teacher was not someone who could be defeated easily.

"You're right," said Tenten, then she looked back at the screen while steeling herself.

"Neji! Lee! Tenten!" shouted Guy who was worried about his student. But even though he wanted to save them, he had to get past Kisame first.

"I'm surprised, you guys are more resourceful than I thought, damn brats," said Kisame, Guy gritted his teeth while looking at Kisame sharply. "Now, without anyone getting in the way, I can kill you!"

"They're in a desperate situation," Shizune said seriously.

"Yes, the average human can hold their breath for 30 to 90 seconds underwater, Guy must defeat the Akatsuki member in that short time if he wants to save his subordinates," said Tsunade while crossing her arms.

"Or he could ignore him and focus on attacking Kisame's Bunshin," Jiraiya said.

"Hm, that could be an option. Considering he is one of the fastest Shinobi in Konoha."

Kisame raised his hand then Samehada who had been thrown far away moved quickly into his grasp, "This great sword, Samehada, recognizes no one but me."

"Wow, that sword can move on its own, cool!" said Konohamaru with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, if only the user wasn't an enemy," said Iruka with a small sigh.

"Hm, so it's no use keeping the weapon away from him. So this is one form of Kiri's legendary sword," said Inoichi, dissatisfied.

"Even if thrown as far as possible, the sword will move itself back towards its wielder. This is the first time I've seen an object have a mind of its own," said Chouza.

"There are actually many ways to keep that weapon away from him, but for now let's see how this battle will end," said Shikaku.

After thinking for a while, Guy finally decided on his move, he then took his own weapon from his bag and swung it before revealing the true form of his weapon, a Nunchaku.

"Woooh, Guy-sensei brought out his Ninchaku," Lee said excitedly.

"A wise choice, considering that the opponent has a terrible weapon, it would be very careless if he attacked with his bare hands," said Neji.

"But will it be enough to match Samehada?" Ino asked a little unsure.

"The power of each weapon depends on the person who uses it, if an inexperienced person uses that sword, we can even defeat them with just kunai and shuriken," said Tenten explaining from her experience.

"I see, so now it's a battle of who makes the best use of the power of their weapons," said Sakura who understood the meaning of Tenten's words.

Kisame grinned seeing that his opponent was ready, with sure steps he then lunged forward, "Well! Shall we start!?"

.

Naruto and the others were still silent and wary of their enemies ahead, they became even more alert when Itachi started to move his hands.

"We go back to the fight between Kakashi and Itachi," said Kurenai.

"Yes, and it looks like Itachi will make the first move. We'll see how he will attack this time," Asuma said.

"Itachi is a stronger Genjutsu user than me, he doesn't even need hand seals to do it, just a look in his eyes and the enemy will be trapped in his Genjutsu. If we can utilize these future videos to gain knowledge, we can anticipate his attacks and even fight back," thought Kurenai.

"We would kindly ask you to come with us now, Naruto-kun," Itachi said while pointing at Naruto.

Several people gaped at Itachi's request which he said casually even though the request had the opposite meaning.

"Is he really serious about saying that so casually?" Kiba asked in disbelief.

"Yes, he did," Shino answered.

"Damn, what's going through his mind."

"Naruto-kun..." Hinata thought worriedly looking at the screen.

Naruto gritted his teeth hearing that, but before he did anything, Kakashi moved first and attacked Itachi with a punch, but his attack was easily blocked by Itachi.

"!" while he was attacking Itachi, Kakashi was surprised by another Itachi running beside him and heading towards Naruto's place. "Kagebunshin!?"

"Hah!? When did he do it?" Kankurou asked surprised.

"He might have prepared it before facing them," Temari said giving a reasonable answer.

"I see, I don't think he just went ahead without preparation."

But Kakashi didn't need to worry about anything, because Naruto was ready. Right after Kakashi attacked Itachi, Naruto had his Rasengan ready in his hand just in case and it proved useful when he saw the other Itachi running towards him.

"Oooohh, good job, Naruto-kun! He already prepared his attack before the enemy attacked," said Lee shouting excitedly.

"Beat him, Naruto!" Kiba shouted.

"Haaaaa!" Naruto ran forward and aimed his Rasengan directly at Itachi. "Rasengan!"

"Yeaah!" said Sakura clenching her fists excitedly.

"Right on target, this way-"

Poof

"Eh?"

Ino and Sakura blinked in confusion as Itachi exploded into a cloud of smoke.

Shikamaru just sighed at the sight, "That's what you get when you get so excited that you forget it's just a Bunshin."

"Aaah, damn! I completely forgot about that," Ino said clutching her head.

"Ahahaha..." Sakura could only laugh bitterly while scratching her cheek embarrassedly.

Itachi, who was hit by the Rasengan, immediately turned into a cloud of smoke that surrounded him, blocking his view. Naruto shook off the smoke and he was immediately shocked to see the sight in front of him.

Kakashi, Sakura, and Granny Chiyo lay helpless on the ground.

"Eh? What happened?" Hanabi asked in surprise, she didn't understand why Kakashi and the others were suddenly lying on the ground helpless.

Hiashi said nothing but narrowed his eyes intently at the screen, "Could it be…?"

"What!?" thought Naruto in surprise, he then turned to Sakura who was trying to stand up. "Sakura-…chan?"

Naruto was silent and couldn't continue his words when Sakura and the others suddenly turned into Itachi.

"W-Wh-" Sakura stuttered and couldn't hide her surprise when she saw herself suddenly turn into Itachi, the others also reacted the same as her.

But unlike everyone else, the veterans quickly pieced together what had happened.

"Oh my..." Kakashi said sighing while scratching his head.

"Is he…?" Shizune asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, he has been hit by Genjutsu," said Tsunade answering Shizune's question with a serious expression, meanwhile Jiraiya could only rub his face.

"..." Naruto pressed his lips together and looked at Itachi with an angry and worried look, he didn't know how but he knew that somehow he had been hit by Itachi's Genjutsu.

"WHAT!?" the teenagers shouted simultaneously when they learned that information.

"He's under the influence of Genjutsu!? But when?" Sakura asked, unable to hide her surprise.

"I didn't see it at all," said Ino, just as surprised as Sakura.

"Yes, I also saw the same thing," Chouji said confused.

"He probably did it without us realizing or it wasn't shown, remember that the video doesn't show the entire fight," said Tenten.

"Oh, that's possible, Tenten," Lee said agreeing with his teammate.

"…"

While the other teenagers concluded their respective opinions, Neji and Shikamaru, who were the geniuses among them, were silent while their brains analyzed the possibilities of what might happen.

"There's no way something as important as that isn't shown, we must be missing something here," thought Neji as he placed his hand on his chin.

"Genjutsu can be done in many ways, with hand seals or using certain media. Most people use hand seals to do it, even Kurenai-sensei does that too. But Itachi only did one hand seal and didn't do anything after that, there were no movements to perform Genjutsu, even Naruto and the others didn't look him in the eye at that time. So what did he actually do?" Shikamaru thought as he racked his brain to solve this mystery.

"The only movement he made after that was just pointing at Naruto..." Shikamaru was interrupted from his thoughts when he realized something, after which he laughed bitterly. "Really, it's that easy? It's really troublesome."

"What's wrong, Shikamaru? Do you know anything?" Chouji asked. Apparently Shikamaru's words attracted the attention of the people around him.

"Yeah, I think I know why Naruto can be affected by Genjutsu."

"Really? Why? I didn't see it at all," Kiba said curiously.

"No, you did see it, in fact everyone in this room did," Shikamaru said.

"We saw it? Wait, was it since he performed the first hand seal?" Lee said confused.

"But he didn't do anything after that, right? They can still talk as usual as if nothing happened," Tenten said frowning.

"He doesn't need hand seals or media to do Genjutsu, that's why Naruto was hit by Genjutsu without him realizing it," said Neji suddenly, now he understood what Shikamaru meant.

"HUH!?"

Neji's statement surprised them, Genjutsu is one of the advanced Shinobi techniques that requires years of practice to master. Kurenai, who was known as the best Genjutsu user in Konoha, still needed hand seals to do it, so it was no surprise that they were surprised to find out that Itachi could do Genjutsu without needing all that.

"So how did Naruto get affected by Genjutsu?" Shino asked, who was quite calm compared to the others.

"Well, if you paid close attention, you would have noticed that there was a certain movement that Itachi made before this," said Shikamaru leaning back on the chair lazily.

Hearing Shikamaru's words, they all fell into their thoughts thinking about the videos they had seen so far. Not long after, one of them finally understood what Shikamaru meant.

"When he pointed," Sakura muttered with wide eyes. "The only movement he showed after performing the hand seal was pointing at Naruto."

"That's right, that's exactly when that Fool got caught in a Genjutsu," Shikamaru said lazily, surprising everyone.

"If you think about it, that movement is quite striking if it's just to invite someone, but it turns out that's not the purpose," said Ino.

"But, my gosh... just by using your fingers you can make people affected by Genjutsu. It's hard to admit but it's an amazing ability," Kiba said while looking at Itachi from the corner of his eye.

"Kurenai-sensei, can you do that too?" Hinata asked, which Kurenai answered with a bitter laugh.

"No, I can't do that. It takes a great level of chakra control plus several other important aspects for someone to master high level Genjutsu," said Kurenai. "Plus, Itachi is a genius who has Hokage level intelligence or even more, he is also an Uchiha who is generally a Genjutsu specialist."

Kurenai kept those last words to herself, either because she didn't want to praise her enemy or because she wanted to maintain her pride for her past defeat when fighting Itachi.

"Even Kurenai-sensei, who is one of the strongest Genjutsu users in Konoha, can't, huh. Damn, Akatsuki is filled with monsters," Kiba said irritably.

First, there is the Sasori-Deidara Duo. Deidara is a Shinobi who escaped from Iwa and a Kekkei Genkai user whose strongest attack is capable of leveling a large village. Then there is Sasori who is a very strong Kugutsu user and is one of Suna's legendary Shinobi, even though he is currently a fugitive.

Next is the Itachi-Kisame Duo. Itachi is an Uchiha and is labeled as one of the genius Shinobi, with his very strong Sharingan and Genjutsu powers making him the worst opponent for most people. On the other hand, there is also Kisame who is Itachi's partner, he is one of the owners of 7 legendary swords and has very large chakra reserves so he is nicknamed 'Tailless Bijuu'.

For now, only four of the Akatsuki members were actually on full display and they were already aware of the Akatsuki members' strength being very strong. They couldn't get rid of the question that made them shudder, if the members were that strong, then what about the leader?

After a while, Tsunade announced she would continue the video and everyone looked back at the screen. Their questions will be answered in the future.

.

A large explosion occurred above the lake which was formed suddenly, the explosion occurred as a result of the clash between Guy and Kisame. They both attacked each other with their respective weapons before Kisame swung Samehada's Great Sword down and was blocked by Guy's Nunchaku, creating a large explosion that threw water everywhere.

"Wow..." Konohamaru said fascinated looking at the screen, he had never seen a high level battle like this.

"What incredible power, just one swing can create a wave of power like that," Iruka thought looking at the screen with wide eyes.

"So this is Akatsuki..." thought an Anbu from Ne named Sai, from the start he had no interest here, but he might get useful information for his master, Danzo.

"What incredible power..." Guy thought while trying to block Kisame's attack.

Kisame held Samehada with one hand but his strength was extraordinary, he then raised his empty hand high before dropping it as hard as possible.

"Graaaahhhhhhhhhh!" Kisame hit Guy with a punch, making a large wave of water rage around them.

"Gahh!" Guy vomited blood because of Kisame's punch, and not only that, he was also thrown to the bottom of the lake because of the blow.

"Guy-sensei!" shouted Lee worriedly.

"T-That was a fatal blow," said Tenten covering her mouth in horror.

"Not only is his chakra extraordinary, but his physical strength is too. He's really a tough opponent," said Neji, a little displeased.

"S-Sensei will definitely survive, I'm sure of that. A blow like that won't be enough to defeat him," said Lee, trying to convince himself.

"Haha, that's right, Lee! Such a blow will not defeat the spirit of my youth!" said Guy laughing while giving his student a thumbs up.

"Guy-sensei!" shouted Lee, moved.

"Hahaha!"

"Haaaa, I was worried in vain," said Tenten, sighing in annoyance at the sight of the teacher and student pair.

"Guy-sensei!" shouted a worried Lee from inside the prison.

"Don't think it's enough to pay off the debt!" Kisame shouted, then he formed hand seals again and placed his hands on the surface of the water. "Suiton, Goshuku-zame!"

"That seal..." thought Kakashi while slightly widening his eyes. "That's bad, Guy. You need to get out of that situation quickly."

"Don't worry, Kakashi. My other self already knows what to do," Guy said grinning.

"..." Kakashi was silent for a moment thinking about his friend's words, then he realized what he meant. "You're going to do 'that'?"

"Yes, that's the only way to fight an enemy who specializes in water."

Right after that, five sharks made of water appeared under Kisame, the sharks immediately swam towards Guy without waiting for orders, they intended to tear Guy apart.

Guy who saw the sharks approaching quickly crossed his arms, "No choice."

"Those stances..." Gaara's eyes widened slightly when he saw Guy's movements on the screen, it reminded him of the technique Lee used in the past.

"Will Guy-sensei open the Gate?" Tenten said when she saw Guy's movements.

"There's no choice, his movements are hampered in the water, he has to get out of that situation before the enemy completely overpowers him," said Neji.

"Forcing Guy-sensei to use the Gate, Kisame is a truly strong opponent," Lee said seriously.

Guy then closed his eyes, concentrating on casting a technique that could get him out of this urgent situation. Changes occurred in Guy's body, his skin slowly reddened slightly, veins formed on his forehead, and a vortex of wind formed around him.

"Hachimon tonkou! Dai-roku, keimon…Kai!" Guy shouted, an extraordinary wind wave appeared around Guy, the wind wave immediately destroyed the sharks that were approaching and not only that, the water around him was also blown up to the surface where Kisame was standing.

"That... if I'm not mistaken is the technique that Rock Lee used against Gaara, right?" Temari asked.

"Yeah, now we know where he got that technique from," said Kankurou, grimacing slightly.

"This battle will reach its end," Kurenai said.

"Yeah, if Guy has entered that mode, then he will take his opponent seriously," said Asuma crossing his arms.

"What!?" Kisame thought in surprise, his footing wobbly from the explosion made by Guy.

Neji, who had been paying close attention, saw the slight negligence made by Kisame and his Bunshin, he didn't waste the opportunity and activated his Byakugan then exploded the water ball that was confining him, freeing him from the water prison Jutsu.

"Well done, Neji!" shouted Lee excitedly.

"Now all he has to do is free us," Tenten said happily and hopefully.

Neji didn't stop there, he immediately attacked the three Mizubunshin who were off guard and defeated them. After Mizubunshin Kisame was defeated, the water prison that held Tenten and Lee immediately disappeared.

"Good, now that they are all free, things are back to normal," said Kiba clenching his fists.

"Neji-niisan took advantage of the enemy's negligence to free himself, he also defeated the Bunshin at once," said Hinata in awe.

"He is a genius and one of the most thorough people of our generation. He will pay attention to the slightest opportunity that he can take advantage of to win," said Shino.

"You saved us," Lee said after being freed from confinement.

"Thank you, Neji," said Tenten who was panting because she was out of breath. They then turned their attention to the ongoing fight.

"That posture…" said Lee when he recognized the posture Guy was making.

"Oh..." Lee's eyes widened at Guy's movements on the screen, he recognized those movements very well.

"That..." said Tenten who had the same reaction as Lee.

"It's over," Neji said confidently.

Kisame swung his sword at Guy, but Guy didn't flinch at all and instead swung his fiery left leg at Kisame. What surprised Kisame was that Guy's attack was much faster than his sword swing.

"So fast," Sai thought as he stared at the screen with a calm expression.

"Wow, his feet are on fire," said Konohamaru looking at the screen with sparkling eyes.

"So that's Guy's Gate technique that is often talked about, this is the first time I've seen it," Iruka thought in amazement.

"Very fast…!" Kisame thought in surprise, he couldn't dodge the attack so Guy's kick hit his head, sending him flying high into the air.

Neji and the others relaxed when they saw what Guy would do next.

"That…"

"Yeah…"

"It's over," Lee said with confidence and awe.

Meanwhile Guy had prepared his final attack on Kisame who was still in the air, by estimating the right time, he then launched his final attack.

"Asa Kujaku!"

Dozens of fireballs that came out of each of Guy's punches at high speed attacked Kisame who couldn't dodge in the air, the result was devastating, Kisame's body burned from the attack and he fell helplessly to the ground.

"Oooooohhhhh!"

The teenagers cheered happily at Guy's victory, Lee clenched his fists and raised them high while shouting the loudest among the others, he was proud that his highly respected teacher had succeeded in defeating a very strong enemy.

"Guy-sensei was able to defeat him in one attack, I hope I can also master that technique," said Lee, moved.

"You can do it, Lee. Remembering the crazy training you did," Tenten said dryly, but that only lifted Lee's spirits.

"Thank you, Tenten!"

"Yosh, now there is one less Akatsuki member," said Ino excitedly.

"Yeah, it makes future battles easier. Now just focus on Itachi and saving the Kazekage," said Kiba with a small grin.

"But can they beat him? Last time we saw Naruto-kun was trapped in a Genjutsu, right?" Chouji asked expressing his concern.

"Naruto can definitely do it, that fool is stubborn and won't be easily defeated," Sakura said confidently and with conviction.

Kiba and the others were silent for a moment thinking about Sakura's words, as someone who was on the same team as Naruto, of course Sakura had a better understanding of her blonde colleague's personality. After thinking that, Kiba and the others sighed in agreement with her words.

"Heh, indeed, he is a person who doesn't know what giving up is," said Kiba snortingly.

"Naruto-kun will definitely win that battle," said Lee with full confidence.

"Yes, Naruto-kun can definitely do it," thought Hinata, reassuring herself.

"Don't forget that you are there too. Kakashi-sensei too and that granny from Suna," reminded Ino.

"Yes, I will fight," said Sakura nodding. She had gotten stronger now, even though her current opponent was very strong, but if they worked together well, she believed they could stand a chance.

After that, they all looked back at the screen filled with the determination they had just awakened. However, even so, there were some of them who gave unimpressive looks.

"…"

Shikamaru looked at his friends with a bored and unimpressed look, for the umpteenth time he was reminded how careless his friends were to the point of forgetting some important information they had heard recently just because they were excited.

"It's really troublesome, not long ago I reminded them and now they've forgotten about it," thought Shikamaru with a frown, he then rubbed his head while sighing. "Never mind, let the screen explain later."

In the end, Shikamaru followed in his friends' footsteps and looked back at the screen.

That way, the fight between Guy and Kisame ended with Guy emerging as the winner.

The lake made from Kisame's Jutsu slowly shrank until it ran out, leaving the barren plain as before.

Everyone was stunned to see how the large lake slowly returned to a barren rocky plain after Kisame's defeat.

"Thinking about it, it's truly extraordinary that he was able to perform Water Release Jutsu to such a high level," said Chouza.

"Yeah, a Jutsu like that costs a huge amount of Chakra. That's really suitable for someone who has a lot of Chakra like him," Shikaku said.

"So this is one of the Akatsuki members' abilities, huh. With this fact, we can assume they are all at the same level as Jounin or Anbu," said Inoichi while crossing his arms.

"No, maybe more. Remember the information given to us before, that what is on the screen is not their real body," said Shikaku.

"Hm, that means their threat level is even higher. We really have to prepare ourselves if one day they attack the village."

"Yeah, there's a lot to do after this, and it all depends on how much information we get from this future knowledge."

"The future... I don't know what else will happen, even now the kidnapping of the Kazekage has become a big problem," said Chouza.

"For now let's just watch how this matter will end. If this is bad for us then we will think of a better way to deal with it."

The other two parents nodded following Shikaku's words, after which they looked back at the screen.

After the battle ended, Guy and his team gathered at the place where Kisame fell to determine whether he had really lost or not, but when they arrived there, they were shocked by what they saw.

"Hng? What did they see?" Kiba asked confused, he and the other teenagers felt confused seeing Guy and his team's reaction on the screen.

Shikamaru and Neji, who understood the source of their confusion, didn't say anything and just continued to stare at the screen.

"He… He is…" Guy said with wide eyes looking at the man he just defeated.

"Uh, what happened? Isn't that Kisame?" Asked a confused Lee.

"No, those are not their real bodies. Haven't Kakashi-sensei and Itachi explained this before?" Neji said, surprising them.

"Eh... ahhhhhh I remember, Kakashi-sensei explained this before!" Sakura shouted after realizing her negligence.

"T-That's right, I remember. How can we forget it?" Ino said surprised.

"Didn't I tell you before? You guys are too excited that you forget important things," said Shikamaru lazily leaning on the sofa.

"You should remind us again about that," Ino said with a frown, Shikamaru just shrugged in response.

"Putting all that aside, I think in the next video we will see the identity of the person defeated by Team Three," said Shino.

"Who do you think was the victim..." said Hinata, a little concerned.

"Well, I think it's some criminals who are Akatsuki's subordinates," Kiba said casually.

"We'll find out in the next video," said Shino giving a reasonable answer.

.

"It seems your battle is over, Guy," Kakashi said in a bored tone.

"Hahaha, of course. And as my rival, you also have to win, Kakashi," said Guy pointing at Kakashi while grinning.

"I will try. Well, but it will be very difficult because my opponent is Itachi."

"You think too highly of me, Kakashi-san," Itachi said calmly.

"I'm just telling the truth, in fact I even lost badly to you in our previous fight."

"Everything would be different the second time."

"Hm, well, I can't deny that."

Kakashi already knew a little about Itachi's strength, as an experienced shinobi he would definitely not repeat the same mistake. So if there was a rematch between them, a different result might occur.

"By the way, I want to ask you something, Itachi. How strong is Kisame really? I mean the real one," Guy asked.

"Oh, that's an interesting question you ask, Guy," Kakashi said raising an eyebrow, not expecting his friend to ask something like that.

"Yeah, I'm curious. He can beat my students easily including the genius Neji, if Kisame never let his guard down then I don't know what would happen to them. Because of that I want to know how strong my enemy really is," said Guy while looking at Itachi.

"..." Itachi was silent for a moment thinking about Guy's question, actually he didn't know how strong Kisame's true strength was, but for now he could give an answer that was in accordance with his knowledge. "He only used less than 10% of his strength from the fight on screen."

"Less than 10%, huh. That was something to be expected from one of the Akatsuki members, especially if that person had as much Chakra level as the Jinchuriki. What do you think, Guy?" Kakashi asked.

"Hmm, that doesn't really explain how strong he really is but it's enough for me. If he only uses 10% of his power, then I will too!" said Guy grinning, showing his clean white teeth.

"Geez, even though you were worried about your team earlier," said Kakashi with a sigh.

"Of course I worry about them, but they are not Genin who must be protected like before, they are now Konoha's Shinobi. I'm sure they are discussing what they should do and making plans that they can use in the future," said Guy, smiling slightly at his subordinates.

Kakashi stared at his friend for a few moments before looking away, "That's good then," he said.

After that, Kakashi stood up and walked towards a table located in the corner of the room. The table had food that had caught his attention so he was interested in trying it.

After all, filling your stomach is important when watching something.
