Chapter 372: Battle
Before the heavy and solemn battle came, Sasuke's transformation ......
Emmmm…… To some extent, the atmosphere of depression has been dispelled a lot.
Imagine that.
In the extremely serious revenge session, the angry avenger suddenly transforms into a fluffy, cute cat-eared thing, how embarrassing is this scene?
Uchiha Itachi can still tense his face, he doesn't laugh, and he doesn't show a strange gaze, which can be regarded as good acting.
However, the world of ninjas is all about strength. In order not to lose his strength with age, didn't Orochimaru also change the body of a young woman?
Speaking of the half-man, half-human, half-snake guy, Itachi has also come into contact with him and fought with him.
Itachi doesn't have a high opinion of Orochimaru.
In order to attain eternal youth, we are constantly reincarnated, and although we remain physically young, our spirit will be seriously harmed by this reincarnation technique, which will lead to greater hidden dangers. Otherwise, with Orochimaru's strength, no matter how bad it is, it won't be killed by Itachi's eyes.
In Itachi's view, this way of living is just a matter of survival.
The damaged soul and spirit are severely restrained by the Sharingan Illusion. Yes, when the news came out that Orochimaru wanted to occupy Sasuke's body, Itachi was not very worried. Because he knew that even if the strength of the two was one or two notches apart, the huge advantage brought by the writing wheel eye could still help Sasuke defeat Orochimaru.
Jiraiya, who is also a three-ninja, has no problem at all. Itachi wasn't sure he could win him, and it wasn't even easy to say if Tsukiyomi would be able to defeat the tough man with one move.
Straight to the point. So what's going on with Sasuke's transformation?
Of course, he is not a women's clothing boss or awakened to some perverted hobby, those changes in appearance are just side effects of ninjutsu.
"Is it a joint transformation with the ninja cat clan? and uses a ninjutsu similar to Chidori......"
The visual impact didn't make Uchiha Itachi stunned, and he only took a few glances to see the clue to this move. It's not a complicated ninjutsu, and the same move Oni Shark has used - he is a joint transformation with the Shark Muscle to gain more strength, as well as the ability to swim freely in the water and absorb chakra.
Combined Transformation is a ninjutsu that complements each other's strengths and weaknesses, and can directly increase the caster's combat power. As long as there is a suitable fit object, it is a very practical and effective ninjutsu.
Sasuke's joint transformation of the ninja cat should be to obtain the blessing of the physical abilities of the ninja cat clan: agility, dexterity, and speed. The thunder escape cloak on his body has the taste of Kakashi's Chidori, which should be Chidori's advanced ninjutsu, and it is also an advanced ninjutsu that increases speed.
Itachi pondered in his heart.
Before the official fight, with his rich experience and delicate observation skills, he had already roughly guessed Sasuke's fighting style.
Judging from the momentum and Chakra's induction, Sasuke's strength is already quite not weak.
To be fair, Sasuke's ninjutsu can reach this level, which is a little unexpected to Itachi.
"You surprised me to be able to perform such ninjutsu. Itachi said calmly, the Thousand Bird Cloak and the Combined Transformation are both ninjutsu that require an extremely solid foundation in ninjutsu and exquisite ideas to complete. Bringing the two together requires not only great creativity, but also long hours of boring practice.
Sasuke's personality...... When did it become so grounded?
"Surprised?" Sasuke said coldly, moving his body, "This is just the beginning!"
His expression and demeanor were much calmer than Itachi had imagined.
The heel worm who always followed him when he was a child has grown into this young and immature teenager in the trance-like eyes of the ferret, and he began to think about it in ignorance.
What was it that had made him so changed? Was it the girl's influence? Itachi's mind flashed through the figure of the pink-haired girl. Sakura Haruno's information has been collected in detail by Akatsuki, and Itachi has also secretly paid attention to this Sasuke's teammate. It's just that compared to others who only focus on her combat prowess, Itachi also pays attention to other aspects of her - such as her personality, such as her relationship with Sasuke.
Itachi was able to analyze a lot from the small gesture she had just made to encourage Sasuke with her handshake. Ninjas are honored by the strong. Sakura Haruno is on the same team as Sasuke, and as a peer, her strength is far superior to Sasuke's, and it is obvious that she has gained Sasuke's respect. Receiving her handshake not only shows that they have a close relationship, but also shows that Sasuke is really convinced by Sakura and gets comfort from the strong man.
Itachi's face was silent, but his thoughts were spinning at high speed. From the various clues on Sasuke's body, Itachi has analyzed a lot of things.
His strength, his personal connections, how he has been doing in recent years.
It seems that Sasuke is doing well.
"Yes...... "It's still flat, and I can't hear a trace of waves, "Then I'll look forward to it a little." ”
He watched as the tyrannical and dazzling thunder light on Sasuke's body gradually subsided, and he lay quietly on the surface of his body like a pool of water, condensing into a pair of serene blue and purple armor. In the faint glow, Sasuke's delicate little face was shining, and the light fluff of the cat's ears was clearly illuminated, and the whole person had a neutral and bewitching beauty. It's just that under the cover of his handsome appearance, the faint chakra sense hints at the danger contained in it, revealing the identity of Sasuke's warrior.
"As you wish. Sasuke said, exhaling lightly, letting go of the hands that were sealed on his chest, and finally completed this complex transformation ninjutsu and complex movements.
He stood straight in front of Itachi, his hands casually loosened at his sides, but the momentum on his body suddenly rose to the extreme.
Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly.
The next moment, Sasuke's body burst out!
In an instant, the young man's feet slammed on the ground, and the earth under his feet cracked overwhelmingly, and his figure burst out, and his real body instantly appeared behind Itachi!
The thunder light exploded, and the dazzling blue light condensed on the assistant, and in an instant, it turned into a sword shadow, cutting through the air, and exploded with a crackle, slashing at the Uchiha Itachi!
The transition from extreme static to extreme motion took only a moment.
The instantaneous change even left Sasuke's afterimage in place!
In the duel of masters, the winner and the loser are often only divided in an instant. Especially in the face of Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke knew that his chakra, physical arts, ninjutsu, writing wheel eyes and experience were inferior to Itachi, and his strength was far inferior to him, so he used all his strength with his unreserved shots, and as soon as he saw it, he used all his strength!
The thunderous blow was unimaginably fast. Of the people Sasuke has fought so far, only Sakura Haruno and Kakashi have not been defeated by this move.
Itachi was the third person to take the trick.
A dazzling thunderbolt burst from his side, and the intense light instantly reflected the side of the ferret's face. Sasuke squeezed behind him with an astonishing instantaneous speed, but Itachi's expression remained calm.
A pair of blood-colored writing wheels spun wildly, and the weasel calmly turned around, and on one side of his body, he gave way to the thunder sword at a distance of millimeters, and his left hand suddenly raised, reaching out like lightning!
The next moment, the large, slender and powerful hand was already pressed on Sasuke's wrist.
The thunder roared violently, and the thunder light was uncertain, but the thunder sword stayed on the side of the ferret, and he couldn't move an inch.
Itachi's left hand locked Sasuke's attack like an iron pincer, and the huge strength and clever power point completely clamped his wrist, making him immobile!
Sasuke's heart sank, and his face changed color suddenly.
He suddenly exerted force in his hand, trying to get rid of the ferret's restraints, but found that he couldn't move!
The remaining distance between the Thunder Sword and the Weasel's body was even only the thickness of a hair, but it was this little distance, but after the Weasel made a move, it became a moat that could never be touched!
It's different from the feeling when I was training with Sakura Haruno.
With her strange power technique, she can use her unrivaled strength to stop her attack, which is an unshakable force. The movements of the weasel are subtle in skill.
Although the strength of his left hand is great, it is still not beyond the scope of ordinary ninjas, only comparable to Sasuke's after activating the Thousand Bird Demon Body, and far less than Sakura's extraordinary strength. But the movement in his hand was delicately stuck on Sasuke's power point, because the latter was clamped by him, and he wanted to continue to exert force or pull out, but his wrist couldn't move, and he was firmly imprisoned in place!
Of course, no matter how subtle the skill and experience are, it is impossible to restrain Sasuke forever with just one hand.
However, just controlling Sasuke for a short second was enough.
Itachi didn't even take a second.
He grabbed Sasuke with his left hand, his upper body sank suddenly, his waist exerted force, and his left foot was raised backwards.
Bang!
A vicious hind leg kick hit Sasuke in the ribs, kicking him out of the air.
Sasuke's menacing attack, as soon as he was grabbed and kicked by Itachi, he calmly defused it, and even counterattacked back!
The power of the ferret is immense. Sasuke, who had eaten a solid kick, only felt a tightness in his chest, and he could barely breathe in one breath. He has also been working in the shadows for a long time, and he has a lot of combat experience after fighting more against masters, but a few simple movements of Itachi constitute a sharp counterattack, and he simply knocks him out cleanly. It's the first time Sasuke has met a master of this level!
A confident attack, but being easily cracked, is a feeling he has only had against Sakura Haruno.
And this is the second time.
Sasuke took advantage of the situation to land. The feline's strong balance comes into play. Although he was kicked away, he quickly mastered his balance, adjusted his body posture in the air, and always maintained the ability to meet the enemy.
It's just that the weasel didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue.
Maybe it's because Sasuke has adjusted himself in the air, and it may not be good to rush after him, or maybe it's just his contempt for Sasuke. Uchiha Itachi just retracted his foot for a long time, turned around and looked indifferently at Sasuke who had landed in the distance.
"Nice offensive ......," he said coldly, glancing down at the red trench coat on his body.
On the flat trench coat, a long gap at the waist is extremely eye-catching.
That was the only result Sasuke had left in the previous attack.
His thunder sword had pierced Itachi's trench coat and was just a fraction of a second away from hitting Itachi's body.
"Sasuke...... I'm impressed with you. Still, it's not my opponent. ”
Itachi's words of appreciation came from afar, but the cold tone of his voice didn't give anyone any taste of praise, and to Sasuke's ears, it was more like mocking him for his reckless attack in vain.
"Humph......"
The black-haired boy just snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
In the face of life and death battles, any language seems so pale and powerless.
What's more, he is still a clear underdog.
A full blow could not shake his opponent, the heavy pressure weighed on his heart, he was not the boy in the original book who was overwhelmed by anger or hatred, and he could see that the gap between himself and Itachi was huge, and the hopeless battle was simply desperate.
If it weren't for hatred and the responsibility of protecting his comrades, I'm afraid he would have been unable to support it and would have lost the courage to continue fighting.
Sasuke looked at Itachi deadly, clenched his fists, the thunder in his hand was even stronger, and the chakra bulged wildly, infused into the ninjutsu, and urged the Thunder Sword Valley to shine more and more dazzlingly.
The power of the jutsu was exerted one hundred and two percent, and Sasuke was ready to fight desperately.
"I know I'm not your match yet...... However, I still have a reason to have to fight!"
Even though you know you can't fight, you still have to keep fighting - knowing that you can't do it. At this moment, Sasuke stood in front of Itachi more for his companions than for revenge!
"Do you already have such an awareness?" Itachi's twin windmill-shaped kaleidoscope writing wheels looked straight into Sasuke's eyes, and Itachi saw Sasuke's choice in his eyes.
Itachi's lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something more, when suddenly a loud noise rang through the sky in the distance, muffling out the conversation between the two brothers.
Boom ——!
Both were startled and stopped talking. Sasuke subconsciously turned to look in the direction where the voice came from, and in the distance as far as his eyes could see, countless splashes of water were blooming in the air, and the earth-shattering sound was the result of two huge ninjutsu collisions.
That's exactly what happened when Sakura Haruno fought with the dried persimmon oni shark.
The shock wave generated by the super-large water escape bombardment came immediately after the sound wave, and a thick wall of air blew over devastatingly, even Sasuke, who was hundreds of meters and thousands of meters away, also felt the huge wind force, and the manic wind and waves swept countless dead branches and gravel to attack, and the power was not even inferior to some intermediate wind escape ninjutsu!
"Looks like it's starting to get real started over there. In the wind, Itachi's voice was still unwavering, and it reached Sasuke's ears, "Well, let's hurry up and finish the matter here......"
Itachi rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand, ready for battle.
"If you can do it, then you can give it a try!"
Sasuke's voice, though immature and nowhere near Itachi's maturity, was just as firm.
Until Sakura Haruno takes out the oni shark, he must not lose.
