Edward's clone looked at the two people below him as he stood above the tree nearby a river. He glanced at the shark-looking man for a moment before ignoring him; his real target was the red-eye Uchiha.

"Although I know this is not going to work, let's try for the sake of efficiency: please hand over your eyes and do not resist."

"Itachi, do you know this person?"

"No."

"So, you won't mind if I killed him?"

"Do as you wish?"

"Hehehe," Kisame removed his weapon, ready to attack. Meanwhile, Edward sighed; he was not in the best mood since he was forced to come and waste his time with these people.

'Nevertheless, I can use this opportunity to gather more data on the Chakra System.'

He calmly looked at Kisame, who rushed at him with great speed, and he used Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength to enhance his physical attribute and punched the shark in his ugly face; he was so swift that Itachi raised an eyebrow when he saw the attack with his Sharingan.

Bam!

Kisame flew a dozen meters, crashing into the river. Less than 3 seconds later, he stood up from the river, his face a little red from the punch.

Water Style: Five Shark Shower

Five water sharks flew from his mouth, heading toward Edward, who countered with his own Jutsu.

Fire Style: Flaming Bird Jutsu

Five firebirds flew from his mouth and extinguished the sharks. But they did not stop and headed for Kisame. The man shark had to counter with another Jutsus that used the nearby river to stop the attack.

Water Style: A Thousand Feeding Sharks

This attack created a tsunami made entirely out of sharks and was truly a powerful Jutsus. However, it did not matter to the clone.

Wood Style: Life Growing Jutsus

With Hashirama cells, it was no trouble for him to alter his genetics to use this Blood Limit. With this Jutsus, a small plant appeared on the tsunami's path. Then, the plant madly absorbed the water from the Jutsus as nutrients to grow a forest.

The tree branches from this forest then entangled Kisame before capturing him. He resisted a little but could not fight so many. And since the tree possessed the ability to drain Chakra, he was quickly drained.

A crow tried to reach Kisame but could evade all the trees. In the end, Itachi turned back to his original body and abandoned saving his companion for now.

"I did not know the Hidden Leaf had someone who could Wood Release," said Itachi with his usual calm and composed voice.

"Trying to get information from me? You're quite the devoted little spy, aren't you."

Itachi calmly looked at him. 'Genjutsu is useless?' He realized he might have to go all out in this battle despite his poor physical condition.

[Amateratsu]

A black flame appeared on Edward's position. But he did not evade. No, a tree branch moved in front of him, taking the attack instead of him.

"Eternal Flame, huh?" he muttered, looking at the black flame. Of course, he knew these flames were not truly eternal. However, if he only used his current chakra method, he could not extinguish them.

He controlled other branches to attack Itachi, forcing him on the move and not giving a good eye view of himself to use Amaterasu. Suddenly, one of the branches moved faster than Itachi could predict, heading straight for his eyes.

At the last minute, an orange skeleton protected him.

"You've forced me to use this." His eyes were now bleeding, but he still remained calm. Without hesitation, he fully activated his Susanoo.

Wood Style: Wood-Dragon Jutsu

Itachi slashed the enormous dragon with his Totsuka Blade. However, the dragon would regrow on the cutoff place before continuing to entangle him. Furthermore, the more his blade came into contact with the dragon, the more Chakra it drew.

While Itachi focused on dealing with the wood dragon, a shadow suddenly came from behind him and attached to his own shadow, rendering him immobile. He tried to resist but to no avail. Then, the wood dragon drained his Chakra until he could not maintain the Susanoo.

Edward walked before him, looking directly at him.

"Quite the talented individual. Unfortunately, the crooked and backward system of the Ninja World ruined you."

"And what does that mean?" asked Itachi, still calm.

"What you did to the Uchiha Clan."

"Is there something wrong with wanting to test my power?"

"From a patriotic standpoint, as a ruler myself, I respect your decision. As a man with a family and loved ones, I can understand your choice. However, on an intellectual level, you made the stupidest choice. For someone of your intelligence…." Edward shook his head.

"How do you know all this?"

"I'm the one who killed Danzo."

"I see. There was nothing wrong with my choice; the Uchiha needed to be eradicated."

"Do you feel that way despite all the innocent children and women killed? Or maybe, you don't care because Madara was the one who killed them? Without their deaths in your hand, it should be easier to justify your action."

Itachi did not answer.

"You and Shisui could have killed Danzo or used your power to negotiate with the Hidden Leaf. You could have taken over the Uchiha Clan and dealt with the rebellious members while protecting the more peaceful and innocent ones.

"However, as traumatized children with godly powers and forced to see the cruelty of the world when your brains were not properly developed, you chose the worst possible options."

Itachi did not know how to respond. Furthermore, there is no point in contemplating these things now. And Edward stopped talking. He removed Itachi's eyes and placed them in a jar he summoned. He also took Shisui's eyes.

Then, he used Medical Ninjutsu or Yang Release to grow another pair of regular eyes. He then left him with a gift.

"I've cured your disease, so you have a long life to live, and maybe, watch your brother grow. Also, use this opportunity to think over your actions and choices. Maybe, you'll gain some perspective."

After saying that, he took some blood from Kisame before disappearing and teleporting away. His next target was Nagato to take away the Rinnegan. He was not sneaky and used the most direct and brute force method; he fought all of them single-handedly, defeated everyone, and only used the Chakra System. He told Nagato he was trying to remove the burden from him, but the latter did not appreciate his actions. And the situation became worse when he tried to flirt with Konan, and she simply despised him. In the process, he also sealed Black Zetsu and Hidan and took them away.

Following this, he traveled all over the continent to steal all the Jutsus from different villages and blood samples from the Blood Limit Clans. He also went after the Nine Tail Beast. He did not capture them.

Edward did not want to draw the ire of all five villages and have them band together to fight him like the Fourth Ninja War. Although he would easily, it was not worth the trouble.

He scanned these beasts before taking a large sample of their Chakra by dividing them into a Yin and Yang half like the Nine Tail to analyze and activate the Ten Tail and study the God Tree.

He proceeded to visit Orochimaru and take all his research. The mad scientist tried to resist to no avail.

The final step in his hunting was taking Kaguya from her seal. The Sage of Six Paths and his brother tried to stop him, but the clone was prepared to deal with these two and sent them away.

Finally, he returned to his laboratory to study. Of course, his exploits were known throughout the world. But he did not care.
