It happened.
Uchiha Sasuke!!!
Chapter 192: Sasuke and Itachi's Battle of Destiny! The End Is Finally Coming! Please Vote for Me Monthly!!!
Uchiha Itachi's expression changed slightly when he saw Sasuke's face.
He stopped dead in his tracks.
The heavy rain poured down over Sasuke's face, soaking his hair and cheeks.
"Sasuke..."
Sasuke was no longer as calm and composed as he used to be.
His eyes burned with an intense red light, as though flames were about to erupt from them.
At that moment, his hatred seemed to have taken physical form.
"Uchiha—"
"It's a good one!!!"
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at the two brothers, an ominous smile appearing at the corners of his lips.
"Your brother is quite persistent, Mr. Itachi..."
"What do you say? Should I take care of him?"
However, Uchiha Itachi could sense the change in Sasuke.
"I'm afraid dealing with Sasuke won't be so easy anymore."
"Really?"
"Sasuke, it seems your training with Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, wasn't in vain."
Sasuke said coldly, "Uchiha Itachi, you should know how far I'm willing to go to kill you!"
"And now, the moment has finally arrived for our fate to come to an end."
"If you're still a man, then let's fight to the death!"
Kisame Hoshigaki grinned.
"Heh. It looks like you still don't have the confidence to handle both of us at the same time."
"Uchiha Sasuke..."
Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath.
Has that day finally arrived?
Indeed, not everything could be predicted.
Many twists of fate always arrived unexpectedly...
"Kisame, Sasuke is right. This is a matter between the two of us."
"Please stop the others. I want to settle this matter completely here."
Kisame Hoshigaki frowned slightly.
He hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.
"All right."
Meanwhile, the pursuers were constantly closing in.
Kisame Hoshigaki finally unleashed his full power, releasing the immense chakra of his tailless Tailed Beast nature without restraint.
"Water Release: A Thousand Exploding Water Colliding Waves!"
His chakra reserves were already among the greatest in the entire Ninja World.
Moreover, it was raining heavily, and the vast sea was not far away. He had the perfect combination of favorable timing, advantageous terrain, and overwhelming chakra.
Once the technique was unleashed, its scale was beyond imagination!
Suddenly, a gigantic sphere of water appeared, completely blocking the route from the Hidden Mist Village toward the sea exit.
Taking another route would have taken far too much time.
But if anyone tried to force their way through—
Kisame Hoshigaki was suddenly engulfed by the enormous mass of water.
He transformed into his shark-man form, even taking Samehada with him!
In this state, even the formidable Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, would have struggled to withstand the power of the technique.
Kisame had truly given everything he had for Uchiha Itachi.
Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled.
"Go and settle everything, Mr. Itachi. I'll keep everyone else out. No one will be able to disturb the two of you!"
Uchiha Itachi looked back, and a hint of gratitude flickered in his Sharingan.
"Kisame, thank you."
He then turned his head and looked at Sasuke again.
"All right."
"Let's begin."
By this point, Sasuke had managed to completely calm himself down.
Hatred and anger could be the greatest sources of motivation for becoming stronger.
But in a true life-or-death battle, those emotions could easily become weaknesses that led to defeat.
And that was something Sasuke absolutely could not accept.
Large raindrops fell haphazardly into the turbulent seawater.
Waves crashed violently against the rocks and shoreline.
The sound of the waves, wind, and rain created an unsettling atmosphere.
Yet the two brothers stood in the middle of it all like statues.
Neither moved.
Their eyes were fixed solely on each other.
If the enemy doesn't move, neither will I.
Suddenly—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
Kunai and shuriken were thrown one after another with tremendous force!
They poured endlessly from the hands of the two brothers, as though their supply of ninja tools would never run out.
Despite the strong wind, heavy rain, and crashing waves, every shuriken and kunai maintained its trajectory with astonishing precision.
Up, down, left, right, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, straight, curved, arcing, fast, or slow—
They moved like flowers falling from the sky, yet every single one was incredibly precise.
And every one of them had the same target.
Each other!
Because of this, the brothers' countless ninja tools collided violently in midair, becoming entangled with one another.
Amid the torrential rain, countless sparks burst forth!
Sparks flew in every direction!
Even the rain could not extinguish them.
Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but glance back.
As he watched the sparks explode, he sighed inwardly with emotion.
"These two brothers are probably the people who understand each other best..."
Eventually, the sparks scattered.
Like a curtain falling over the stars, darkness once again descended upon the sky.
But just as the final clangs of metal faded—
Bang!!!
The two brothers seemed to vanish from their respective positions at the same time.
In the next instant, Sasuke's Kusanagi sword collided violently with Uchiha Itachi's kunai!
The Kusanagi sword Sasuke wielded was the same sword that Jiraiya and Kakashi had brought back from Orochimaru's hideout.
It was also the same type of sword Sasuke had used in the original story.
Unlike Naruto's sword, which consumed enormous amounts of chakra to create chaotic wind blades, this Kusanagi sword was longer, sharper, and more durable.
It was far more suitable for swordsmanship.
Likewise, Sasuke could infuse it with Lightning Release and enhance its power with chakra, allowing him to maximize its destructive potential.
In an instant—
Clang!
Sparks flew once again.
The blades in their hands swung fiercely toward each other.
But this time, Uchiha Itachi was at a disadvantage.
Bang!
With Sasuke's roar, a sharp metallic sound rang out.
His Kusanagi sword violently knocked Itachi's kunai aside and even pierced Itachi's arm!
Blood suddenly sprayed into the air!
Uchiha Itachi instinctively shifted slightly to the side.
But Sasuke didn't hesitate.
Lightning crackled along the Kusanagi sword, suddenly illuminating the darkness amid the wind and rain!
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
Pfft!
With a soft sound, the Chidori pierced straight through Uchiha Itachi's body.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Kisame Hoshigaki frowned involuntarily.
But the next moment—
The Uchiha Itachi who had been impaled suddenly transformed into countless black crows, scattering chaotically in every direction.
Kisame Hoshigaki smiled again.
Itachi's true body had reappeared exactly where he had been standing before.
It was as though he hadn't moved even a single step.
"Terrifying tricks!" Sasuke said sarcastically.
Uchiha Itachi replied indifferently, "As long as they're effective, what's the problem?"
"Sasuke, how far into the future can those eyes see now?"
"Uchiha Itachi..."
"What my eyes see now..."
"This is your death!"
Uchiha Itachi smiled faintly.
"Really?"
"Then show it to me again."
Sasuke slowly closed his eyes before suddenly opening them once more.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The three-tomoe Sharingan appeared in his eyes.
It was clear that his eyesight had reached its current maximum potential.
But Uchiha Itachi sneered.
"After all, you're still just a mortal..."
"Without awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, the enormous gap between us remains an insurmountable barrier."
"A gap that is impossible to bridge."
"Like this?"
