Chapter 64 Brothers' Battle

"Itachi!"

Sasuke suddenly turned around, his young face filled with intense hatred.

only,

Unlike before, having just come across the secret letter, he had more room to think things through, and his hatred was mixed with a hint of hesitation.

"My foolish brother, what a disgusting look in your eyes!"

Uchiha Itachi's expression was cold as he frowned and said, "I actually saw hesitation in your eyes. Is it because the hatred I inflicted on you wasn't enough? If not, you can't cultivate perfect eyes like this."

He felt uneasy.

There shouldn't be any problems with the hints that he released the genjutsu himself. Could it be that someone told Sasuke something?

Sasuke opened his crimson Sharingan, staring intently at Itachi Uchiha, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You who killed your entire clan, sparing neither the old nor the young, why have you returned to the village?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Uchiha Itachi coldly replied, "You are not worthy of my interest right now. Wait until you have eyes like mine before you question me."

"I don't need those eyes at all!"

Sasuke glared at him with resentment. Those evil eyes that needed to kill one's closest relatives to awaken—even without them, he could still take revenge.

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly and said, "It seems your hatred isn't deep enough."

What happened?

Sasuke, who was kept in the dark, should have used hatred as motivation to constantly grow stronger in order to kill himself.

This was the path to becoming stronger that I had guided him on, but I never expected things to go wrong. It seems that Sasuke doesn't have a strong desire for power.

Why?

It seems I have to make Sasuke recall the memories of being dominated by hatred.

Sasuke roared in fury, "Father, Mother, and our clansmen... why did you kill them?!"

He wanted to know the truth.

"So someone did tell you something, you foolish little brother."

Seeing his reaction, Itachi Uchiha immediately sensed something was wrong, but calmly asked, "What do you know?"

Suppressing his anger, Sasuke growled, "With your strength, there's no way you could have killed everyone silently!"

"so what?"

Uchiha Itachi remained expressionless and said, "What can you do if even I can't defeat you?"

He turned slightly to the side, revealing the tall Kisame Hoshigaki.

"My companions are all S-rank rogue ninjas from the ninja world. They can hunt down not only the Uchiha clan, but even Kage."

He didn't want Sasuke's hatred to affect the village.

In time, my younger brother will understand my good intentions.

"Yeah?"

Sasuke staggered forward, a long sword gripping his hand, and said, "None of that matters. Whatever the reason, I must kill you. It is with this determination that I have been able to live until now!"

He could tell that Itachi Uchiha was trying to hide something, but it didn't matter; the fact remained that Itachi had killed his father and clansmen.

That alone is unforgivable.

"Too weak."

Itachi Uchiha raised his eyelids, about to continue to incite Sasuke's hatred, but found that the other party had already disappeared from the spot.

Keng.

The bandages were scattered.

The sharp, open sharkskin shielded the falling sword, sparks flying.

"Mr. Itachi, don't be careless. Your younger brother's strength is not right."

Kisame Hoshigaki gripped Samehada with both hands, feeling the immense force transmitted to him, and his expression changed slightly.

What amazing power!

I've never heard of Uchiha clan ninjas being good at taijutsu.

Moreover, Sasuke is so young, his body hasn't fully developed yet. Could it be that he's releasing some kind of secret technique to enhance his body?

"I see."

Uchiha Itachi was also taken aback and pulled out a kunai, aiming it at Sasuke's chest.

So much so that he couldn't even utter the lines he had prepared.

He originally planned to defeat his opponent with pure physical skills in a few punches and kicks, and then release Tsukuyomi to make him feel pain.

Itachi Uchiha's lips curled up, and he lowered his head, staring intently into Sasuke's eyes.

The crimson Sharingan spun wildly, merging into the shape of a black windmill.

Tsukuyomi.

But the next second.

The scene of Sasuke collapsing to the ground did not occur; he was completely unaffected and continued to wield his longsword.

Cursed Sword Technique!

Purple magical energy surged and coiled around the blade, resembling countless black worms constantly swimming around.

Caught completely off guard, Itachi Uchiha had no time to dodge and could only raise his kunai to take the blow head-on.

Click.

The kunai, forged from fine iron, was cut in two like cotton.

Itachi Uchiha quickly withdrew his hand holding the kunai, but his left arm was slashed by the sword blade covered in cursed magic, and was almost cut off.

Kisame Hoshigaki was stunned.

As a teammate, he knew how skilled Itachi was in genjutsu; most genjutsu ninjas couldn't withstand it, yet the brat treated it like nothing.

"Mr. Itachi!"

Kisame Hoshigaki was terrified and swung his sword across Samehada, the spikes swaying like teeth as he knocked Sasuke away.

"I'm fine, Kisame."

Despite the pain, Itachi Uchiha formed a hand seal, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm, which he used to burn the wound on his injured left arm to stop the bleeding.

Blood stained the ground.

He coughed violently, looking at Sasuke with surprise and doubt, and asked, "You were actually able to resist my Tsukuyomi? Could it be...?"

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

Only eyes of the same kind can fight each other. He suspected that the cursed technique radiating black light was some kind of eye technique that Sasuke had awakened.

Sasuke brandished his longsword, his expression cold, and said, "I've said it before, I won't kill my loved ones to get those eyes. I have my own way of taking revenge."

He pinched his fingers together with his left hand and made a hand seal.

The black magic of the longsword transformed directly into raging black flames.

With a wave,

He unleashed streaks of black flame sword energy, hurtling towards Itachi Uchiha and Kisame.

"What a terrifying ability, Mr. Itachi! Your brother is definitely a genius!"

Kisame Hoshigaki took a step forward, blocking Itachi Uchiha's path, and raised Samehada in a defensive stance to try and block the sword energy.

But itachi Uchiha pushed him away.

"Something's wrong, Kisame, get out of the way!"

Amaterasu!

Blood seeped from Itachi Uchiha's eyes, and wisps of black Amaterasu flames ignited. Just before the cursed black flames touched Samehada, the two were joined together.

boom.

The two streams of black flame collided, and the resulting shockwave sent Kisame Hoshigaki flying.

"What a pity, we almost took down a powerful enemy first."

Sasuke looked disappointed.

What he just unleashed wasn't ordinary sword energy; the slash imbued with cursed flames was a core skill he learned after changing his class to Spellblade, and it had already reached level 15, possessing extremely terrifying power.

The consumption is also very high.

Even if you wear equipment that increases mana in the game, your mana bar will be empty after five uses.

Not to mention that Sasuke used all his reward points to certify the jewelry set with extremely high mental resistance, which was the only way to withstand Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi.

The remaining reward points were simply not enough to certify the rest of his equipment. In reality, he only had a level 15 blue set, and the few spells he had just unleashed had already depleted his mana bar.

Such a good opportunity for a sneak attack, if missed, will lead to a tough battle.
