"So... the truth of the Uchiha clan is these! That's why you spared my life back then! The Eternal Eye... so this is your plan ah!" Sasuke stood up somewhat shakily, fine beads of sweat visible on his forehead. Although Itachi had held back, the damage Tsukuyomi did to his mind was still very strong!
"In that case, I don't need to be confused anymore! Itachi, to be honest, I don't believe everything you said, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to kill you!" Sasuke said slowly, drawing his sword. He already believed Itachi's lies, and there wasn't the slightest hesitation in his heart to kill Itachi.
The battle between the two sides was about to break out and started instantly!
The entire room was filled with kunai and shuriken, and the roaring sounds of Fire Release and Lightning Release. Soon, the narrow hall could no longer satisfy the two people's desire to fight!
The scorching fireball brought up the heat and distortion of the air in the stone room, and the fiery red light made everything around it appear dazzling. Boom! The entire huge fireball directly crashed into the roof, stirring up a strong explosion in the smoke and dust. The roof of this hall was instantly blasted out with a large hole!
As the top of the hall was blasted open, Itachi and Sasuke directly leaped onto the roof!
Amidst the spreading fire and smoke, Itachi quietly looked at the dilapidated stone room below, a trace of a different kind of expectation and speculation in his eyes.
"As expected of Itachi. However, this is far from enough!" In front of him, Sasuke's voice suddenly came, and then he connected hand seals with both hands: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Seeing Sasuke use Fire Release, Itachi also reluctantly used the Great Fireball Technique. The two huge torrents of flames collided together, bringing up strong high-pressure steam!
However, in this duel of Fire Release against Fire Release, Itachi's Fire Release was gradually suppressed by Sasuke's Fire Release. Itachi seemed to be less skilled in the mastery of Fire Release than Sasuke.
"Sasuke, you've already seen Tsukuyomi. Then next, you'll see my other dōjutsu!" While spitting fire, Itachi made a hand seal and gently raised his hand and held it in front of his chest, and his right eye also gently closed.
Gently, a trace of blood slid down Itachi's eyes, and the right eye that opened again was covered with bloodshot, and the eyeball seemed to be covered with cracks like glass that was about to shatter!
"Amaterasu!" A curtain of black flames appeared out of thin air, and swept towards the Fire Release that Sasuke had spat out as if it had its own life!
"This is...... another ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Black flames that can completely devour any object!" Seeing this scene, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, who were hiding in the distance, couldn't help but say in shock.
"This is Amaterasu, huh? It actually completely devoured the Fire Release that I spat out....." Sasuke frowned while spitting out flames.
"I see. He's pretending that his Fire Release can't resist Sasuke's Fire Release, so he used Amaterasu to let Sasuke see it ah...... What good intentions, Itachi." Seeing this scene, Kaoru guessed Itachi's intention. He, who was skilled in Fire Release, how could he lose to Sasuke in a Fire Release ninjutsu match? Itachi was deliberately showing weakness just to make it easier to bring out his Amaterasu.
A ninjutsu like Amaterasu was best for sneak attacks. If he had directly used Amaterasu on Sasuke's body from the beginning, then Sasuke would have probably been burned to death on the spot, and he might not have even had a chance to use the Orochimaru-style Body Replacement Technique.
But now Itachi was using Amaterasu to devour Sasuke's Fire Release. This was completely a stupid decision. The reason why Itachi did this was obviously to give Sasuke time to prepare for this move.
Sure enough, seeing Amaterasu devour his Fire Release, Sasuke cleverly took a step back and avoided the scope of the black flames.
"You can't escape!" After letting Sasuke know the power of his Amaterasu, Itachi said ferociously, and then focused his gaze on Sasuke.
Having already seen Amaterasu, Sasuke quickly came up with a way to deal with it. He decisively used the Orochimaru-style Body Replacement Technique and escaped back into the underground hall again.
And Itachi, because he had used Amaterasu, and his body was close to the verge of collapse, knelt down on one knee and fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
"Now..... it's time!" Sasuke looked at the sky and said this sentence seriously: "Fire Release! Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Several huge dragon-head-shaped fireballs shot out one after another, but the target wasn't Itachi, but the ceiling of the stone room!
Boom! In the flying rocks and flames, Sasuke had completely opened a huge skylight in the entire stone room! In the gloomy sky, a trace of blue light visible to the naked eye shot straight into the sky!
"......" Itachi was silent, quietly watching Sasuke's actions and not stopping him.
"It still takes some time for that technique to be activated." The Kusanagi sword shone with a cold light, reflecting Sasuke's somewhat ferocious face at this time.
"Before that, Itachi, give me some more surprises!"
Rumbling sounds of thunder rang out, and the entire sky was terribly gloomy! The originally clear weather slowly disappeared.
"Hoo..." Itachi adjusted his breathing, deeply exhaling a breath of stuffiness in his chest, and looked at Sasuke, who wasn't far away, with his bloodshot eyes somewhat blankly.
At this time, Itachi's body was covered with dust, and the sleeves and elbows of his robe had traces of shuriken passing by. The original cold and noble temperament was completely gone, and instead, he was scarred and disheveled.
"It's going to rain, huh....." Sasuke looked up at the sky, his brow slightly locked with hesitation, and then he regained his senses and looked at Itachi in front of him, "If you have any ultimate moves, then use them quickly! You won't have this chance in a while!"
Then his eyes sharpened, and his body brought up pieces of afterimages, quickly rushing towards Itachi, and the Kusanagi sword was directly aimed at the space between Itachi's heart!
Speed was Sasuke's advantage. Under Itachi's current physical condition, this advantage was even more obvious, and Itachi naturally understood this even more.
Gritting his teeth slightly, Itachi bent his body and supported the ground with one hand. His entire posture was very similar to the Leaf Whirlwind. Using the force of his legs, he kicked Sasuke's wrist, which was stabbing with the long sword, with one foot! With a "pa" sound, Sasuke's long sword was unsteady and was directly kicked into the air. However, Sasuke turned a blind eye to this, and instead kicked Itachi's chest directly with one foot!
After the muffled sound of flesh exploding, Itachi's body was kicked away, like a kite with a broken string. First, it floated up lightly, and then it crashed violently on the ground with the remaining force! The huge force made him cough up a mouthful of blood the moment he touched the ground!
"Hmph!" Sasuke snorted coldly, and with a lift of his hand, he gently caught the Kusanagi sword after it had spun countless times in the air. While triumphant, the doubts in his heart became more and more great.
What's going on? Itachi's body is behaving strangely, his movements are incredibly choppy! Even with Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, he shouldn't be this exhausted, and his injuries shouldn't be this severe. What could be causing all this? Is he deliberately feigning weakness to find an opening? But that mouthful of blood he just spat out...
"Your growth surprises me...Sasuke..." Itachi slowly propped himself up, the three tomoe in his scarlet eyes instantly merging into the shape of a Mangekyō, "But as I said, without the Mangekyō Sharingan, you cannot defeat me!"
"Tch!" Sasuke gritted his teeth, the doubts he had just had were thrown to the back of his mind because of Itachi's provocation.
Sasuke didn't understand, and he was also indignant, why Itachi was still so calm when he had been forced to the point of desperation! Sasuke wanted to see Itachi's fearful appearance! To see Itachi beg for mercy, to see Itachi repent for what he had done that night, instead of being as indifferent as he was now, without the slightest hint of remorse!
He clearly killed his parents, so why didn't he have even a shred of regret?!
"Enough with the nagging!" Sasuke said coldly, and then slowly raised his left hand, which was covered with blue arcs of electricity. The crackling sound of electricity filled the broken space where Sasuke and Itachi were, and large swaths of lightning began to gather in the sky!
"I don't need you to explain the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan to me. I've already seen the extent of that power on Kaoru, and I don't bother to obtain such power! My life, my ninja way, are all for me to decide, and right now, there's only one thing I want to do......."
The blue lightning shot straight into the sky along Sasuke's right hand! The entire sky seemed to become even gloomier and darker because of his actions!
"This technique is called Kirin, and it was prepared specifically to deal with you!"
An indifferent face, a cold smile, Sasuke's scarlet eyes appeared ferocious because of the sky!
"Now...with the thunder..."
