Uchiha Itachi poking someone's forehead almost always works, and Sasuke pursed his lips, looking a little unhappy, but stopped himself from saying anything.
"Anyway, the gifts you guys give me are never good."
Sasuke muttered softly.
Last time, Hatake Satoru also said something about giving a gift, and then Uchiha Itachi gave Sasuke a whole set of illusion techniques.
The overly realistic VR experience directly caused Sasuke to have a mental breakdown and activate his Sharingan with one tomoe.
It's not that opening the Sharingan is a bad thing, Sasuke just felt like something bad was going to happen.
But in the end, that memory was just an illusion, so nothing really bad happened.
Uchiha Itachi smiled helplessly, then didn't argue with Sasuke anymore.
Because to be honest, it really wasn't a good thing.
Using his death to help Sasuke awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Uchiha Itachi expected Hatake Satoru to help or not, so he also thought of two ways to deal with it.
Anyway, he was going to die soon, and Sasuke could use this opportunity to get the Mangekyo Sharingan.
As long as Sasuke could awaken it, nothing else really mattered.
With the Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke could basically stand firm in Akatsuki, although he didn't know how many members of Akatsuki would still be alive by then.
This was the last thing he could do for Sasuke.
The night passed without a word, and the two set off again as the sky began to turn white.
The extinguished bonfire emitted a few wisps of black smoke in the dim daylight, drifting and spreading in the air.
...
Konoha.
Near the Nara clan's forest.
Hatake Satoru cautiously peered at the forest not far away, which didn't seem to have anything special about it.
The lush trees grew densely, and their canopies blocked most of the sunlight.
The entire forest gave off a somewhat dim feeling.
There were occasional rustling sounds coming from inside the forest, as if something was walking around.
Then, a small deer appeared in the forest, but it quickly disappeared without a trace because of the many trees.
It probably wasn't discovered.
Hatake Satoru cautiously watched the deer hopping away from behind a tree. He hadn't made eye contact with the deer, so Hatake Satoru was basically sure that the deer hadn't noticed them.
The forest wasn't really suitable for teleportation because of its density, which was probably a challenge even for Hatake Satoru.
But always being able to retreat easily also made things feel unchallenging.
It's rare to have something like this, so it's kind of interesting.
"Mangetsu-chan, you stay here~".
"Stop them outside and don't let them run into the forest looking for us, otherwise it'll be troublesome if we can't find you."
If Hozuki Mangetsu ran into the forest, Hatake Satoru, despite being able to teleport, would often find it a bit of a hindrance because of the forest's density.
So it was best to stop him outside and take him away directly when they came out.
Hatake Satoru moved the mask next to his head to the front.
This mask wasn't an Anbu mask, but just a common dog mask.
Fortunately, it wasn't colored, otherwise it would look like some strange children's toy.
The mask completely covered Hozuki Mangetsu's face, only revealing his light-colored eyes.
Hozuki Mangetsu made an okay sign and said cheerfully.
"No problem, teacher, I guarantee I'll stop everyone who tries to come here!"
If a Mizukage couldn't stop a few jonin and Anbu from coming, it would be a little embarrassing.
He definitely had no problem stopping them here.
Hatake Satoru was confident in Hozuki Mangetsu's strength. He looked at Sasori and nodded slightly.
Then the two of them suddenly disappeared from the spot. Hozuki Mangetsu curiously craned his neck to look around, before turning his attention back to the surrounding environment.
"I'll try to attract those deer to a fixed location. Find Hidan's location as soon as possible."
Sasori deftly jumped onto a tree branch, and he could use his tail to hook onto branches high up on the tree, making it easy for him to move through the forest.
Hatake Satoru appeared and disappeared in the forest, the eyes hidden behind his sunglasses occasionally flashing with an icy blue light.
As he moved, Six Eyes constantly sensed the surrounding routes.
His head turned quickly, constantly analyzing the surrounding forest environment into a reasonable road map.
One map after another quickly formed in Hatake Satoru's mind, merging and selecting the shortest and most concise route.
He separately marked the positions that he could not avoid and would definitely block his teleportation.
Sasori could hear the rustling sounds around him. He dodged with his small body, trying to climb to the top of the tree as quickly as possible.
Deer could indeed monitor others, but if he hid in the canopy, he could greatly reduce the chance of being discovered.
In addition, Sasori's current body was quite small, and a few leaves would look bigger than him.
"Is it okay here?"
Hatake Satoru stopped in the distance, then quickly rushed to Sasori's side.
He could even stand on the leaves, his feet always keeping a distance from the leaves.
Sasori took out the scroll he had placed in his sleeve and looked out at the forest below.
The lush branches and leaves almost completely covered the area. Looking down from above, they could easily observe through the gaps, but looking up from below was more difficult due to the various leaves.
"It's about right. You floating in the air like that really looks like a ghost."
Sasori glanced at Hatake Satoru next to him while unfolding the scroll.
"?"
"After all, I don't have something like Chakra~ I can't really step on the leaves."
Hatake Satoru shrugged innocently.
"And if you really think I'm a ghost, it's a pity that I didn't scare you to death."
Hatake Satoru put on an affected look of disappointment. He sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.
"Stop arguing with me, you jerk, and hurry up and find Hidan's location."
"Even if we can fool them for a while, it won't last long. If it takes too long, it'll be troublesome for Ghost and Mangetsu to be outside."
Sasori took a deep breath, he was careless, he shouldn't have said such arguing words to Hatake Satoru, he would definitely lose in the end.
Hatake Satoru blinked, and a small golden star flew out.
"Okay~ Then let's begin."
