The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 691 Itachi's Doting Love

Sure enough, there were two people standing in that spot.

One of them was Itachi, and the other was Uchiha Chiyo.

It seemed that the two of them had been standing there for quite some time, but Sasuke, who was completely absorbed in the battle, was completely unaware that there were other people in this direction.

"You're being way too gentle with Sasuke. No wonder his progress is so slow."

Qian Yao shook his head slightly and sighed.

In fact, Itachi had already keenly sensed his arrival as soon as he arrived.

At the very moment Itachi threw down the smoke bomb, he had already cleverly left a shadow clone in place.

The real Itachi had already quietly retreated outside the arena to meet with Chiyo.

Upon hearing Qianyao's words, Itachi's face showed a slightly unnatural expression.

Even so, he still defended Sasuke without hesitation:

"Sasuke's progress over the years has been quite astonishing. With his current strength, among the younger generation, perhaps only Naruto can slightly surpass him."

Itachi, who is usually a brother-complex person and rarely argues with Chiyo, surprisingly started to argue.

Qianyao sighed deeply, a hint of helplessness in his voice:

"I asked you to be Sasuke's protector, not to take care of him like a babysitter!"

His gaze was fixed on Itachi, and he continued:

"How can Sasuke grow into a true strongman if you teach him the way you do it?"

Just then, Sasuke ran over, his face filled with frustration and defeat.

After all, he had just fought a shadow clone of the other party for a long time, which was really embarrassing.

“Nissan…”

Sasuke called out weakly.

Then she looked at her master, Qianyao, who was standing to the side, and stammered, "Master..."

However, at this moment, both Chiyo and Sasuke remained silent.

Sasuke cautiously stole a glance at his master, only to find him standing there with his arms crossed, his brows slightly furrowed, as if deep in thought about something important.

Meanwhile, seeing that Chiyo remained silent, Itachi broke the ice and earnestly instructed Sasuke:

"The fighting habits I've displayed these past two days were actually intentional, deliberately added on."

"The purpose is to test whether you can detect the clues and learn from them."

"Therefore, the next time you encounter a similar situation, you must pay close attention to whether your opponent is intentionally misleading you."

Hearing his brother Itachi's words, Sasuke blushed and nodded, indicating that he understood.

"I understand, Nissan."

Then, turning her gaze back to Qian Yao, who remained silent, she softly called out, "Master?"

Sasuke was very uneasy at this moment, even though Chiyo was not usually strict or fierce towards him.

But you should know that Chiyo is the undisputed number one in the ninja world, and is known as the strongest Uchiha.

Just by standing there without saying a word, the invisible pressure emanating from him was enough to make people feel extremely pressured.

Especially for someone like Sasuke who deeply admires strength, the aura of authority that Qianyao exudes when he is serious and unsmiling inspires awe.

Sasuke was filled with unease, after all, he had just been reprimanded by Chiyo not long ago.

Qianyao shook his head slightly and sighed, "If Itachi keeps playing ninja games with you like this, you'll never improve."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke hurriedly retorted, "Master, Nii-san has never played any ninja games with me!"

However, Chiyo ignored Sasuke's explanation, raised his hand to stop Itachi from speaking, and then gently beckoned to Sasuke, saying earnestly:

“As your master, I have been absent for the past few years; that is my fault.”

Changing the subject, Qian Yao's gaze sharpened as he continued:

"But Itachi and Shisui spoiled you so much that you were completely unaware of how cruel and ruthless real battles can be."

Having said that, a cold glint flashed in Qian Yao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Come on, with the intention of killing me, attack."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke pursed his lips tightly and turned to look at Itachi.

Itachi naturally dared not disobey Chiyo, but simply closed his eyes and stared at Sasuke with a furrowed brow.

It means, be careful, little brother.

After receiving his brother's hint, Sasuke took a deep breath, gripped the Kusanagi sword tightly with both hands, and stared intently at Chiyo.

But what Sasuke saw at this moment was Chiyo just standing there casually, seemingly not interested in the battle.

Seeing this, Sasuke secretly pondered:

[It seems I should launch a probing attack first!]

The moment the thought was made up, he suddenly swung the Kusanagi sword in his hand, the blade flashing with dazzling light, and used the reflection of the sword light to shine directly into Qianyao's eyes.

At the same time, he swiftly pulled several shuriken from his pocket with his other hand and shot them at Qian Yao without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Sasuke pushed off with his feet and his figure flashed past like a ghost, instantly appearing at Chiyo's side like a phantom.

but……

Qianyao stood firmly in place, without moving an inch!

Sasuke's shuriken missed its target in the blink of an eye, while Chiyo swiftly snatched the Kusanagi sword from Sasuke's grasp.

Then, he swung his iron fist, which slammed into Sasuke's right abdomen with a sharp gust of wind.

Chiyo is far more ruthless than Itachi.

A soft "crackling" sound rang out, revealing the astonishing power behind this seemingly ordinary punch.

After suffering such a heavy blow, Sasuke immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing this, Itachi rushed forward to check on Sasuke's injuries.

When he got closer and took a look, he was immediately horrified.

—Sasuke's two ribs were broken by the terrifying force of Senyao's punch!

Sasuke suddenly felt a blackout before his eyes, and unbearable, sharp pain shot through his body.

He instinctively opened his mouth to gasp for breath, but another mouthful of blood gushed out.

"Sasuke!" Itachi called out anxiously, frantically searching his body for medicine to treat his injuries.

But at that moment, Qianyao stepped up to them and forcefully pulled Itachi aside.

"Why are you in such a hurry? He won't die."

Chiyo scolded Itachi, then reached out and gently stroked Sasuke's ribs.

With a slight movement of his hand, the misaligned ribs were straightened and put back in place.

At the same time, a ball of energy flashing with green light suddenly appeared in his hand, which was the unique light of the Palm Immortal Technique.
