[Buzz—]
[Distant from the former Uchiha stronghold.]
Naruto slowly emerged from the spiraling spatial fluctuations.
"Has it already started?"
A battle between brothers.
[Round Two, Begin.]
[...]
"Now, with these eyes, I can already see myself killing you!"
Sasuke raised his hand, pointing his thumb at his three-tomoe Sharingan.
[Itachi Uchiha still firmly holds the top spot.]
He gave a cold laugh.
"Don't believe me?"
However.
Suddenly, Itachi Uchiha closed his eyes.
[Suddenly laughed.]
The laughter was just a little strange.
["you say."]
"Can you see me die at your hands?"
[Buzz—]
[When I opened my eyes again.]
Itachi Uchiha's originally jet-black eyes had transformed into crimson three-tomoe Sharingan.
["is that so?"]
[When he spoke again.]
The voice, however, came from behind Sasuke.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what it will be like."
[Swish—]
The kunai pierced towards Sasuke's neck.
[bite--]
It's as if Sasuke has eyes in the back of his head.
[The instant Itachi's voice rang out.]
[Draw your sword and counterattack.]
[Completed in one go.]
A metallic clanging sound.
Sasuke wields a ninja sword.
[Itachi Uchiha holding a kunai.]
The blade clashed with the kunai.
"You've grown a lot."
"Say it is given."
Sasuke gave him a cold look.
[Continue to increase efforts.]
[Click click click—]
The blade of the kunai rubbed against the blade of the ninja sword in Sasuke's hand.
[It emitted a piercing metallic screech.]
Two pairs of Sharingan eyes stared at each other.
[Buzz—]
[Simultaneous activation of pupil power.]
[The three-tomoe Sharingan of both of them began to rotate simultaneously.]
[call out--]
Suddenly.
Uchiha Itachi ducked to avoid it.
Sasuke's ninja sword swung but missed.
[Whoosh—]
Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha followed up with a kick aimed at Sasuke's chest.
[Avoiding your sharp edge?!]
[Bang--]
Sasuke also kicked out.
A muffled thud.
Both of them took a few steps back.
[Whoosh whoosh——]
And in that split second...
[Itachi Uchiha can actually form hand seals so quickly.]
[Turn your body to the side.]
[The moment the technique was completed.]
He threw several shuriken with a backhand motion.
["Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Claw Red!"]
[call--]
[The instant the shuriken was thrown in front of him.]
Itachi Uchiha maintained the hand seal posture.
[Suddenly, several balls of flame erupted.]
[The instant the flame came into contact with the rapidly spinning shuriken.]
It immediately attaches to the shuriken.
[call out--]
Shuriken shot towards Sasuke in unison.
[Extremely fast!]
However.
[Seeing this.]
Sasuke sneered.
Instead of retreating, they advanced.
[Ding ding ding—]
Sasuke wields a ninja sword.
He continuously deflected the incoming shuriken.
A ring of flames swirled around the blade.
Seeing this, Itachi Uchiha was slightly taken aback.
When did Sasuke's swordsmanship become so good?
[Um? ! ]
Suddenly.
[Sasuke gave a demonstration of both forehand and backhand techniques.]
[Almost the instant Sasuke blocked Itachi's Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Claw (Crimson).]
Take a deep breath.
The ninja sword, its blade wreathed in flames, is raised.
[He exhaled a burst of chakra.]
[BOOM—!!!]
[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!]
[Muji!]
Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened.
Fortunately, the speed of the Fireball Jutsu isn't particularly fast.
Even if the distance is short.
However, for Itachi Uchiha, who possessed the Sharingan...
[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique is still too slow.]
[It's also a waste of chakra.]
[Whoosh—]
[The next moment.]
[Itachi Uchiha disappeared from the spot.]
[The art of teleportation.]
However.
Sasuke had anticipated this scene.
[Almost no thought was given.]
[He turns and swings his ninja sword backhand, as if it were on fire.]
[He swung his hand towards the ground behind him.]
[Whoosh—!!!]
The firewall appeared instantly.
[Sizzle—]
[Thunder rumbles.]
[Itachi Uchiha, who was originally preparing to attack.]
[Upon encountering this unfamiliar fire-style technique.]
He frowned.
[And in that brief moment of hesitation...]
[Chidori!]
[Chidori Stream!]
[Sizzle—]
A flash of lightning.
Itachi Uchiha's pupils suddenly contracted.
The Chidori Stream, a lightning blade, pierced through Itachi Uchiha's chest.
"I see your face."
"What do I look like?"
The wall of fire slowly dissipated.
[Sasuke looked at Itachi Uchiha, whose chest had been pierced by the Chidori Stream, and said.]
"That's it."
Itachi Uchiha's voice sounded from behind him.
[Pfft—]
A strange sound.
Sasuke's entire body trembled.
[The kunai pierced his back, straight through to his heart.]
[quack--]
At this time...
[The figure of Itachi Uchiha, whose chest had been pierced by the Chidori Stream, suddenly turned pitch black.]
[Originally, its body was formed by a large number of crows.]
[The Auspicious Bird - The Black Bird - The Crow.]
Auspiciousness and wisdom.
Sasuke closed his eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"You really know how to pat yourself on the back."
Itachi Uchiha crouched down behind Sasuke.
[Click—]
[Spin the kunai forcefully.]
The kunai shattered Sasuke's heart.
"That's about enough of this boring illusion."
[Sizzle—!!!]
[Sasuke finished speaking.]
[In an instant.]
His body vanished.
Instead, a bolt of lightning appeared.
[Lightning Release: Lightning Clone!]
Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened.
[Then, Lightning Release: Lightning Clone Technique spread throughout his body.]
[Buzz—]
[The Sharingan genjutsu has ended.]
["cough--!!!"]
Nothing has changed.
[only. ]
Uchiha Itachi, who had been sitting calmly in the head seat, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
[And Sasuke.]
[However, they had only just stepped one foot into the main hall.]
"A boring illusion."
"It makes no sense."
"Should we continue?"
"Why not use Tsukuyomi instead?"
"In the Tsukuyomi world, I'd be willing to kill you a hundred times over!"
[No. ]
[Even a hundred times isn't enough!]
Sasuke arrives at the location he was in within the original genjutsu world.
Itachi Uchiha slowly raised his head.
[Wipe the blood from the corner of your mouth.]
[Also expressionless.]
However, at this moment, Itachi Uchiha was utterly shocked.
[Sasuke...has he really grown to this level?]
["No! "]
"Still the same as always."
["I want to hold on a little longer."]
"He exhausted Sasuke's chakra... leaving him no strength to resist Kotoamatsukami."
[call--]
Itachi Uchiha made his decision quickly.
[Sizzle sizzle—]
At this moment.
A torrent of lightning erupted from Sasuke's palm.
[Swish—]
[Chidori Stream.]
Itachi Uchiha reacted very quickly.
[He turned his head to dodge.]
The lightning blade grazed its ear and pierced the back of the stone chair it was sitting on.
"Kotoamatsukami?"
"You can give it a try."
"You are the most selfish, arrogant, and conceited Uchiha."
"You beast, weasel!"
"I suddenly have an idea."
"How about we resurrect Shisui using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"
