Chapter 24: Naruto Uzumaki vs Itachi Uchiha! [Below]

"Spiral Pill!"

Itachi, who thought that Naruto had been hit hard under the baptism of the Phoenix Fire Technique and relaxed his mind, couldn't help but slow down when he greeted Naruto, who was unharmed and even launched a swift counterattack, and by the time his mind completely reacted, Naruto had already arrived at a dangerous position less than three meters in front of Itachi!

"This move...... It's very dangerous, can't be hardwired, avoid it immediately! ”

As Naruto's figure approached more and more clearly in Itachi's sight, the azure ball held by Naruto in his hand also made Itachi's heart ring! While the mind was still thinking about countermeasures, the body, driven by the instinct to avoid the crisis, bent its legs and began to evade. Twisting his side a little harder, he quickly kicked the ground diagonally to open up a little dodge space with the toes of his chakra blessing that had not been completely canceled, and his hands quickly sealed again to prepare for any possible changes in the future, while his slightly narrowed eyes gradually became stained with scarlet color, and two black magatama patterns appeared strangely in his pupils, staring at Naruto's every move......

This is one of the Uchiha Itachi's hole cards...... The Uchiha clan's iconic bloodstained boundary of the writing wheel, the Itachi with the name of genius has already opened his eyes!

Perhaps, for the reaction speed of ordinary people, the speed at Naruto's current eruption has no second option other than to hard-hit this spiral pill head-on...... But for Itachi, who has awakened the Sharingan, Naruto's marching movements are as clear as slowing down at double speed! After a little scrutiny, Naruto's offensive path was completely calculated, and with the strong body forged by his own hard work, it was enough time for Itachi to erase his previous mistakes!

Knowing that ordinary Spiral Pill could not throw it out of his hand and could only close the distance as quickly as possible before attacking, Naruto did not have any expectations about the probability of hitting Itachi in this counterattack, or that Itachi would be able to avoid this blow without danger...... But that doesn't mean he will watch Itachi regain the initiative in the battle!

"Want to hide? It's not that easy! ”

Almost at the moment when Itachi moved his body and began to dodge, Naruto bent his knees and maintained an angle of nearly ninety degrees to the ground, and without hesitation, he slammed his right hand that was originally stretched out in front of him to the ground, and recalibrated the forward route with the help of the amazing reaction force that erupted under the contact between the spiral pill and the ground, and the charging speed was also increased by another level!

This is the real purpose of Naruto's use of the Spiral Pill! In addition to counteracting the attack of the Phoenix Fire Technique, on the surface, it is to create a counterattack with a substantial threat to the Itachi, but secretly it is to provide the strong power needed for the second change of direction to pursue the Itachi!

"The sense of battle is no worse than that of a real ninja, this kid...... No, Naruto Uzumaki, I really can't treat you like a child! If you take it lightly, it will be tricky! Seeing the astonishing speed of Naruto's change of attack after him, Itachi's surprise gradually increased to numbness, and the desire for battle contained in the blood in his body actually boiled for a long time, and even Itachi himself didn't notice the smile of recognition of Naruto's strength that rose up on the corner of his mouth, "Is the real victory and defeat just beginning now...... Well, you're welcome! ”

Although you are in mid-air, you can't change the direction of retreat again...... But Naruto, who was accelerated by the thrust of the Spiral Pill, was also in an embarrassing situation where he couldn't easily change the number of ways forward! In other words, a great opportunity to fight back!

"巳-未-申-海-午-寅...... Fire escape! Howe Fireball Technique! ”

Almost at the moment when Naruto's ferocious blow was about to touch Itachi's chest and abdomen, Itachi's dazzling hand seal had also reached the end, and at the moment of the last Yin seal, his cheeks inhaled and bulged again, and the chakra gathered in his throat suddenly spat out, turning into a huge scorching fireball that engulfed Naruto's small figure, and even used the amazing momentum contained in it to envelop Naruto backwards, defusing the offensive at the same time, A real blow to Naruto, who didn't have any defensive moves!

"Boom!"

"Hiss, pain, pain, pain! Sure enough, the speed of this seal is too perverted, it's too much! ”

The faint presence of a tumbling figure and a screaming voice in the fireball proved that Itachi's attack really hit Naruto completely this time, but Itachi did not let it go...... The sense of crisis that originated from instinct did not dissolve there, but instead skyrocketed again at the moment when the fireball hit Naruto!

"It's been hit by Hao's fireball, how can you still have the strength to fight back...... Probably not! ”

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, the weasel's eyes widened, and he couldn't calm down the rapid gasping under the large consumption of Chakra, and as soon as his feet landed, he jumped up again!

"Boom!"

Almost at the moment when the weasel took off, a fireball that was not as large as the weasel showed but was just as hot and dangerous swept from the sideways with a rolling heat wave! The soles of the Weasel's feet fell to the ground, and a second deafening bang erupted!

"It's ...... I see. With the high leap of the body, the sight suddenly opened up, and the writing wheel eyes in the Weasel's eyes spun rapidly, and after capturing and calculating the trajectory of the fireball's attack, he looked towards the source, and the smile in his eyes was even more in surprise. Naruto Uzumaki...... You're such a cunning little fellow. ”

As far as Itachi's gaze could see, it was the area where Naruto was hit from the sky that had been activated at the beginning of the Impatiso Fire Jutsu...... At this moment, the white mist caused by the high temperature of the Phoenix Fire Technique had already completely dissipated, and naturally it was no longer possible to hide the void and reality, revealing the figure of Naruto, another severely damaged clothing hidden in it to launch a surprise attack.

"Babble...... It's still noticed.,It's rare to use a shadow clone as a bait.。 The long-planned blow still missed, making Naruto's face can't help but show a little unwillingness, and at the same time, he sat down on the ground with no image as exhausted, paused for a while, raised his little gray face, bent his eyes and waved his hand with a smile, "Sure enough, the speed of the seal is still very important, and the attack that has been brewing for a long time has still been dodged...... Ah, no, no, no, I don't have the strength anymore, I'm almost at the limit, phew. ”

"You've done a really good job at your age, Naruto...... If it weren't for my writing wheels, maybe your plan would have succeeded. Looking at Naruto, who had completely lost the desire to fight, Itachi's sense of crisis finally began to gradually decline, and while the tense nerves gradually relaxed, he smiled and praised while adjusting his body and landing smoothly from the air.

"Hee-hee, that's what I'm saying, if I didn't have a chakra...... Naruto, who was lying flat on the snow, gasped violently, but at the critical moment when Itachi's feet were about to land and his body had not completely stabilized, he suddenly paused strangely, his face twitched and he struggled to raise his head a little, and at the same time, the words changed sharply, and the smile on his face was even more even more as if his plan had succeeded, "You don't need to plan so many steps!" ”

"What?"

Naruto's abrupt words made Itachi a little confused, and before Itachi could fully understand the meaning, Naruto with a smile on his face turned into white smoke and dissipated in place!

"Shadow clone? Oops! ”

The sense of crisis that had just begun to fade rose again, and when Itachi wanted to investigate the source of the crisis, the howling hurricane mixed with the terrifying heat slammed into the Weasel's whole body from behind mercilessly!

"Uh-oh!"

"Itachi-san! Your Howe Fireball Technique is now back to you! Wind Escape! Big Break! The "shadow clone Naruto", who was previously engulfed by Hao's fireball technique, did not turn into white smoke and dissipated at this moment, his whole body was steaming like charcoal, and he raised the ninja seal with difficulty to guide Chakra to accumulate in his throat, and at the same time that the exhalation was continuously transformed into a hurricane and spit out, the Hao's fireball technique that had previously wrapped his remaining strength was wrapped and rushed towards Itachi, and the new fireball generated under the combination of wind and fire covered the area, and even the Hao's fireball technique that Yuansheng Itachi had previously performed! "Whew, whew...... Did I tell you? Hey, it's rare...... Use shadow clones as bait. ”

"Is this Naruto's strength? It's so powerful......" Sasuke, who was watching the battle, had already turned into stars at this moment, thinking that Naruto would be defeated after two or three moves against his brother at most, but he didn't expect Naruto to be able to practice with his all-powerful brother, and he couldn't help but deepen the admiration and envy in his heart again.

“…… Yes! No, now is not the time to think about this! Brother! ”

"Rest assured, Sasuke." Just as Sasuke was full of worry and instinctively wanted to rush into the fireball to find Itachi's figure, Naruto, who had been depleted of chakra in his body, sat down without pretense, gasping violently while smiling to stop Sasuke's actions, pausing for a moment and then whispering to himself, "Stand-in technique...... It's good that you're fast, but I can't beat you, Itachi-san. ”

"Huh? What are you talking about...... Yes! Brother! ”

With Sasuke's exclamation, Itachi's figure appeared next to Naruto unharmed...... As for the "Weasel" engulfed in fireballs? It has long been a piece of charred stake.

"As you can see, Itachi-san, I'm really out of power this time...... If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and the gap between the strengths really can't be easily made up with some cleverness......" Naruto raised his left hand and scratched the only golden hair that hadn't turned charred in a little distress, while his right hand formed a seal of opposition again, and happily stretched out towards Itachi beside him, "The seal of reconciliation...... The result of this sparring was that I lost. ”

"Don't worry, if it weren't for my habit of reserving a stand-in technique as a back road, I might not be able to say who will win or lose......" Naruto took the fireball technique, making the body in the flames endure the pain and wait for the time to make a move, so that Itachi completely put Naruto in a position equal to his own status, and after glancing at the stake that was slowly burning into ashes in the flames, he leaned over and also stretched out his hand to form a seal of opposition, and colluded with Naruto's hand to form a seal of reconciliation that announced the end of the sparring," You're only three years old, and you're already so strong, and I'm starting to wonder how far you can go......"

"So, I declare! Naruto Uzumaki vs. Itachi Uchiha, the result of the ninja sparring is ...... Brother wins! ”

"Hey Sasuke, why does your voice sound so excited! You didn't expect me to lose in the first place, did you? ”

"Hmph, I didn't expect it...... But I knew from the beginning that my brother would never lose! ”

“…… Tsk, you late-stage brother...... Alas, there is no help. ”

"Huh?! Who...... Who brother controlled, stupid Naruto! I didn't have ...... Wait, what does brother control mean? Feed! Don't laugh, Naruto! What does brother control mean? ”

"Sasuke really made a really good friend......" Looking at Naruto who continued to play with Sasuke without any guilt, Itachi smiled dotingly and confirmed that he could entrust Sasuke to Naruto's care when he didn't have time to accompany Sasuke, and after a pause, he smiled and reached out and patted Naruto's shoulder.

"Sasuke, kid, I'll trouble you to advise me a lot, Naruto."

“…… Hey, of course! Sasuke is my most important friend, don't worry! ”

Hearing this, Naruto's face paused slightly, and then he returned his gaze to Itachi's gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised while promising like a finger.

"I promise you that I'll protect Sasuke...... Absolute! ”
