Chapter 65 The Sick Uchiha Itachi

Uchiha Itachi was completely dumbfounded.

Although she hoped that Sasuke could become stronger and have the ability to protect himself, the current situation has exceeded her expectations.

Even someone as talented as myself wasn't half as strong as Sasuke at his age.

Elite Jonin.

He made a judgment in his mind that, whether it was his combat awareness or the special black flames he could unleash, he was no ordinary ninja who could be easily dealt with.

If I had known you had this ability, I wouldn't have come.

This is what Itachi Uchiha was thinking at this moment.

"That's really surprising."

However, acting definitely requires a full performance.

Uchiha Itachi steadied himself, looked over expressionlessly, and released his most skilled genjutsu.

"Is this all the power you have, having slaughtered your entire clan to obtain the Kaleidoscope?"

Seeing Itachi Uchiha injured, Sasuke felt a surge of joy and his killing intent rose sharply.

With the purple jewelry adorning him, he was completely unafraid of illusions and charged straight ahead, sword in hand.

Water Shark Bullet!

Thick streams of water rose up, causing the pond to boil and blocking Sasuke's attack.

Kisame Hoshigaki formed hand seals and skillfully manipulated several water jets, intending to push Sasuke into the pond.

A shuriken.

Uchiha Itachi stopped holding back and began to display the shuriken control skills that even Orochimaru had once admired.

Countless shuriken flew from his hand, as densely as falling rain.

They collided with each other and shot at Sasuke, who was blocked in mid-air by the Water Shark Bullet, at an extremely tricky angle.

Cursed Flame.

Sasuke spun around and swung his longsword, creating a full moon.

The black flames drew a long, narrow circle of fire, sweeping away all the incoming shuriken and simultaneously cleaving through the water column.

sizzle.

The water in the pond evaporated, turning the entire plaza of the Namakawa Shrine into a misty haze.

"I'm curious, where did you get your abilities from?"

Itachi Uchiha frowned, keenly sensing the strangeness of Sasuke's ninjutsu.

Although it consumes chakra, it is for the purpose of increasing power.

This strange black flame doesn't require chakra to activate; rather, it's a very special kind of energy fluctuation.

Magical arts?

Even Itachi Uchiha had never seen Sage Mode, but the Uchiha clan has a long history, so he was naturally familiar with this technique that the Fourth Hokage had once mastered.

But there are differences.

While I am pleased with Sasuke's growth, there are likely uncontrollable people or things lurking behind the scenes, beyond what is actually happening.

We must never let Sasuke go astray.

"Killing you is enough!"

Sasuke laughed wildly, and seeing Itachi Uchiha being forced back by his attacks, he continued to charge forward.

Very well, I'll kill you just like that!

You, whose hands are stained with the blood of your people, do not deserve to live in this world!

boom!

Just as Sasuke suddenly attacked and the blade was about to fall...

An orange-yellow burst of chakra energy erupted, coalescing into the ribs of a skeleton, deflecting the longsword in Sasuke's hand.

A skeletal arm swung nimbly, striking Sasuke directly and sending him flying.

Susanoo.

The advanced eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan is classified as a high-level skill of purple quality in the game.

At the critical moment, Itachi Uchiha used this technique to block Sasuke.

"Sasuke, you are not yet capable of killing me!"

Itachi Uchiha's gaze was cold, and he skillfully concealed the slight trembling in his ailing body caused by the excessive consumption of chakra.

Sasuke was sent flying backwards and crashed into a building, causing most of the building to collapse.

"Mr. Itachi."

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at him with concern.

not understand,

Although Sasuke is very strong, Itachi would not need to activate Susanoo, a ninjutsu that causes great damage to the body, to defeat him.

Itachi Uchiha gave him a look, indicating that he was alright.

He released Susanoo to remind Sasuke of the huge gap in their strength, hoping to make Sasuke calm down and not become arrogant just because he had gained some power.

He knew his younger brother's character all too well.

I wanted to go out to play as soon as the weather cleared up, but I always ended up getting soaked to the bone.

He gets arrogant every time he makes a little progress in his ninjutsu. I can't stay by his side for long periods of time, so I have to correct his bad habits this time.

"hateful!"

Sasuke felt like all the bones in his body were broken as he struggled to crawl out of the ruins.

The longsword in his hand, forged from precious fiery iron ore and certified as a blue weapon at a cost of 5000 reward points, was now covered with fine cracks.

He looked at Susanoo with resentment in his eyes, knowing that he could not kill Uchiha Itachi for the time being.

When he first joined the game, he experienced the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan and knew how terrifying the Susanoo was.

"If I could get all the purple outfits from the game verified in real life, I could even break through Susanoo!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth.

His sword spell, Black Flame, is also a purple skill, no less powerful than Susanoo, but its massive mana consumption prevents him from using it at all.

"I'll spare you. Keep those eyes safe, and live on with hatred for me."

With a cold expression, Itachi glanced at Sasuke, who was slumped on the ground and no longer capable of fighting, then withdrew his Susanoo and slowly left with Kisame.

With the instructions of the Third Hokage, and because the Uchiha clan's territory was extremely remote.

Even with such a commotion, no ANBU ninja stepped in to stop the two, allowing them to leave Konoha without incident.

Having just left Konoha,

puff.

Uchiha Itachi's body suddenly went limp, and he spat out blood.

Kisame Hoshigaki quickly helped him up, complaining, "Itachi-san, you've gone too far. Should we go find a doctor for you?"

He knew that Itachi was suffering from a very serious illness, and that it would flare up if he didn't have the nourishment of chakra and was overexerted in battle.

It seems that Mr. Itachi values ​​his younger brother very much.

This made Kisame Hoshigaki respect Itachi even more.

Although he didn't know anything about Itachi Uchiha's past, he only knew that Itachi had killed all of his clansmen and then defected.

At first, Kisame Hoshigaki looked down on Itachi. Although he took the initiative to ask the leader to let him team up with Itachi Uchiha, who had the same experience of killing his comrades, he never truly acknowledged Itachi in his heart. They almost got into a fight several times during missions.

But as they got to know each other better, Kisame Hoshigaki seemed to be able to sense some of Itachi's emotions, which were always so lonely and sad.

Itachi's words often made Kisame, who was feeling lost, more optimistic and motivated to keep going. He was curious why a man like Itachi, who clearly had a more profound mind, would do the same thing as him: kill his comrades.

"Just find a place to rest."

Uchiha Itachi forced himself to straighten up, squeezing out energy from his cells to refine chakra.

Even students at the Ninja Academy know the downsides of excessive chakra extraction, except for Naruto Uzumaki.

But he paid no heed to his battered body, as if he had some mission, and died peacefully after the mission was completed.

"If you don't mind, you can take a break in the Reincarnation Game."

A gentle, polite voice rang out.

But it was abrupt.

Brothers, I've already written enough chapters for a crucial plot point. Let's vote! Do you even want Konoha to survive? Or join the group to discuss it together; this will affect the later plot. PS: I recommend a book: *Full-Time Magister: Mo Fan Returns from Warhammer*.
