Chapter 552: Killing Sasuke in a Dream?
"He should have been taken away by the spiral White Zetsu that possessed Sasuke," Itachi answered calmly, not at all rushed.
"Ah? Kidnapped? Itachi, aren't you worried about Sasuke—"
"There's no need to worry. Those White Zetsu won't hurt Sasuke. Besides, I've already prepared a backup plan on Sasuke, so he won't be lost. Later, we can track the hiding place of those Zetsu through Sasuke."
"I see! Itachi always considers everything thoroughly!"
Kisame praised shamelessly, though he only acted this way towards Itachi.
"In that case, it seems all that's left now is this Uzumaki Naruto. He said he defeated you single-handedly, Leader?"
"Has the Kyuubi Jinchūriki developed to this extent? But I didn't see him use any Bijuu power just now? Perhaps he can't communicate with the Bijuu yet, so he hasn't become a perfect Jinchūriki?"
"Then why didn't Leader use genjutsu back then—"
Kisame turned to Naruto, who stood motionless to the left, clearly curious about the boy.
A boy who managed to defeat Nagato directly, but now was just controlled like a puppet by Itachi's genjutsu?
Was Kotoamatsukami really that powerful? Although Kisame knew Itachi's genjutsu was very strong... But if the Kyuubi Jinchūriki could be controlled this easily, why didn't Leader use the Rinnegan to control this kid first?
