Narration system starting from Konoha

The surging seawater enveloped the Uchiha clan in the blink of an eye, and the extended techniques were like the roots of a tree taking root in the seawater.

In an instant, a large amount of chakra was absorbed into his body through the technique.

The once surging seawater slowed down rapidly, and even stopped spreading.

The black magic seals kept moving, seemingly penetrating deeper and deeper, and the speed at which they absorbed chakra became even faster.

A steady stream of chakra was absorbed into Kong's body, causing the veins in his arms to swell slightly, but it did not affect his movements.

A trace of chakra essence was extracted and flowed into the body, then sealed by the technique on the forehead.

As the smoke behind them gradually dissipated, Itachi Uchiha stood in the distant forest, enveloped by the water sphere he had just struck.

Kisame suddenly had a bad feeling; the chakra he used to maintain his ninjutsu was constantly decreasing, as if it was being sucked away by something.

Kisame's intuition was correct; the chakra that sustained his ninjutsu was converted by Uchiha Sora into fuel for his explosive attack.

Kisame's expression turned ugly, and he quickly dispelled the ninjutsu.

The enormous water sphere disappeared rapidly.

"Ku watched Sasuke move forward quickly, constantly throwing out smoke bombs to cover himself."

Outside the smoke, crows constantly landed on large trees in the forest to observe and relay information to Uchiha Itachi.

Sora had already discovered the crow's presence, but Itachi hadn't taken any action, and Sora only had time to deal with Kisame.

One Kisame was enough to keep him busy.

"boom."

A smoke grenade exploded out of the smoke area and struck the tree where the black crows were, followed by a huge burst of fire that engulfed two crows in the surrounding trees.

When the firelight faded, only two small, black, featherless birds remained on the bare tree.

"Uchiha Sora, surrender now and I can plead with the leader to let you become an outer member of Akatsuki. Otherwise, you will only face death."

Sora thought Kisame was dreaming; he didn't want to join an organization where he could be betrayed by his comrades at any time.

"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me."

[Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique]

The surging seawater, like a swirling storm, unleashed an unprecedented and catastrophic force.

Along the way, all the big trees were smashed to pieces by the flood.

Sora quickly picked up Sasuke and leaped up towards the tree. Just then, a figure appeared behind Sora.

It was Itachi Uchiha.

"Unleash your full power, Uchiha Sora, or you two will only have one path left."

The extended techniques spread out like tentacles toward Itachi Uchiha's body.

Itachi's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected his lazy little brother to possess such talent, transforming techniques into weapons that combined offense and defense.

"Shh."

One spell after another flew through the sky, constantly crashing into the itachi.

A large foot suddenly kicked out, heading straight for Uchiha's abdomen.

"Boom."

A piercing pain shot through him, and at the same time, Kong casually detonated a poison gas bomb.

The black mist spread rapidly, and Itachi Uchiha retreated frantically.

Sora casually tossed two kunai at Itachi Uchiha.

He threw another smoke bomb, enveloping the area around him, then hoisted Sasuke onto his shoulder and continued on his way.

[Uchiha Sora was a little worried. He didn't have many smoke bombs left and couldn't afford to waste them. The upcoming battle might be difficult.]

Chapter 102 Misunderstanding

"Haha, kid, without a smoke bomb, today is your death day."

[The repressed Kisame Hoshigaki, after being frustrated for so long, finally couldn't take it anymore. Since becoming a ninja, he had never encountered such a frustrating battle, being dragged on for half a day by a Konoha genin.]

With his large sword Samehada slung across his shoulder, Kisame Hoshigaki gave chase.

Red, green, and gray smoke billowed as Uchiha Kong, carrying Sasuke, darted through the air.

The spells extending from the arms swayed in the wind, occasionally capturing a small forest animal and draining its life essence.

Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki remained on the periphery of the smoke bomb.

"Boom."

Another smoke grenade was thrown, and thick fog enveloped a large area.

Against these two monsters, one or two smoke grenades would be useless; their combat instincts alone would likely be enough to pinpoint Uchiha Sora's location.

The only option is to expand the area covered by the smoke.

Kisame Hoshigaki stood outside the mist with a cold smile, his three shadow clones rushing to both sides while forming hand seals.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique".

The raging torrent of water surged and roared like a mighty river, its enormous waves covering the entire area of ​​the mist and pushing it inwards.

Kisame Hoshigaki has lost his composure; he's actually happy about having the chance to kill a lowly genin. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are getting worse with each generation.

Kisame Hoshigaki's face turned ugly. He had actually been mocked by the narrator, and he decided to take revenge on Uchiha Sora for all the humiliation he had suffered.

The surging waves crushed countless trees into dust and rushed towards Uchiha Sora in a massive, overwhelming surge.

Sora frowned. The chakra absorption speed of the technique was still too slow. The Great Waterfall Technique was different from the previous Great Explosion Water Wave. He was afraid that the water waves would hit him as soon as he started absorbing the chakra.

There will be opportunities to improve in the future, and we already have directions for improvement.

"Hmph, the so-called Akatsuki is nothing special. Two core members actually dared to mess with a mere Konoha genin like me. I, Uchiha Sora, look down on you."

Kisame Hoshigaki was so angry he was grinding his teeth, while Itachi Uchiha remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever.

He carried Sasuke on his back and ran at top speed, with the raging water behind him creating wave after wave, and a huge shadow completely covering him.

A burst of wild laughter suddenly erupted from Uchiha Sora's mouth, like the mournful cry of a cuckoo, as if he had seen through the fickleness of human relationships and the vicissitudes of life.

It was as if I had witnessed the most tragic scene in the world, full of irony.

Itachi Uchiha frowned. Was he mocking him for fighting his brother, or was he grieving the destruction of his clan, which had brought him to this state?

[Itachi Uchiha is overthinking it. Sora Uchiha plans to put on a show before revealing his full strength. Every intelligent being has the gene for showing off etched in their bones.]

Itachi resumed his poker face, as if the narrator hadn't been talking about him at all, demonstrating just how thick-skinned he was.

"Hahahaha, you want to dance too? Compared to me, you are like fireflies compared to the bright moon. Tremble, you ants."

A huge, frantic voice echoed through the forest.

Kisame Hoshigaki's face gradually turned green. He had actually been called an ant by a mere genin. Even with his usually composed demeanor, he began to break down at this moment.

[Itachi Uchiha retracts his previous statement that Ku did not inherit the arrogance and prejudice of the Uchiha clan; he feels like his face has been slapped so hard by Ku.]

Even a genius like Itachi Uchiha never said anything so shameful; Sora has probably deceived everyone.

Itachi believed that Uchiha Sora was the most ambitious and arrogant member of the clan, but he had only disguised everything.

"Boom!"

The surging waves crashed through the forest, submerging the area where Uchiha Sora had been standing.

A dark figure darted out like an arrow before the giant wave crashed down, its speed seemingly unrecognizable from before.

The surrounding smoke gradually dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, it was outside the smoke. The giant wave was no longer as fierce as before, but it was still chasing closely behind.

The drifting techniques merged into one, forming a long chain of techniques that plunged into the waves, absorbing the chakra within.

A continuous stream of chakra was refined and infused into his body, then entered the explosive power of Uchiha's maniacal laughter technique.

The chakra he had just used was replenished in the blink of an eye, and the remaining chakra continued to be stored in his body, extending his burst time.

Kisame Hoshigaki walked on water, but before he could catch up with Sora Uchiha, the power of the waterfall began to weaken rapidly, and then it turned into water droplets and disappeared.

Sora casually flicked out two detonating smoke bombs, heading straight for Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha.

A giant fireball appeared in mid-air, and with each step Uchiha Sora took, he could leap more than ten meters, like a nimble forest sprite.

Even carrying Sasuke Uchiha on his back did not affect his speed at all.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique".

Sparks streaked across the sky like falling meteors, enveloping Uchiha Sora.

Itachi appeared not far from Sora in a few steps. As Sora slowed down, Itachi leaped up repeatedly, quietly turned around and stood up, blocking Uchiha Sora behind him.

Sora subtly moved her feet to dodge the Phoenix Flame's attack, while simultaneously extending her technique, burrowing into the burning flames on the ground to absorb the chakra within.

Itachi looked at Uchiha Sora, whose eyes were closed, with a complicated expression.

Especially the techniques the other party inscribed on the sides of the forehead and extending from the arms.

Sora is a true genius. Without the Sharingan, he has found a unique path and developed the technique to such an extent that Itachi feels he has been misjudging Sora.

Kisame slowly walked over from behind, dragging Samehada along, his eyes fixed on Sora's back, as if he was ready to smash Samehada at any moment.

"You've arrived, Itachi. You and Kisame can't stop me. Instead of wasting time here, you should retreat as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Konoha's reinforcements arrive, you two will only face certain death."

[It's all just bluffing; there are no reinforcements at all.]

Kisame sneered, "Haha, a dying struggle, huh? The Third Hokage is dead, the Sannin are gone. Even if there are reinforcements, I don't think anyone in Konoha can keep Itachi and me here right now."

Uchiha Sora stretched out a hand, with three black poison gas bullets held between his fingers.

He reached into his ninja tool bag with his other hand and took out the last dozen or so smoke grenades.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

Itachi Uchiha was the first to react, quickly retreating while simultaneously spitting out a large fireball. He remembered what Kisame looked like after being hit by the poison gas.

Sora quickly retreated, and Kisame swung his Samehada at him.
