Chapter 136: [Stalemate]
"Mu Dun?!"
When thorny branches emerged from Uchiha Obito's body, spreading in all directions, the faces of all three of them were a little stunned.
Including the ferret, who has always appeared to be paralyzed.
On the rolled thorn branches, the spikes are small but sharp,
They are like schools of sharks that follow the waves in the ocean, smelling blood and biting in their direction.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique."
"Fire Escape: The Technique of Fire of the Dragon."
"Compound Technique: Wind and Fire Dance."
……
The figures of the three of them retreated in different directions, keenly and meticulously dodging the countless thorny branches.
There was no sound of reminders between them, and it was clear to both Sarutobi and Kakashi that the child named 'Uchiha Itachi' was not the one who needed their sole care at all, but a ninja with enough combat power!
At the same time, they each made their own seals.
The fireball, which was as hot as the sun, contained Kakashi's understanding of the changing nature of fire.
Under the careful manipulation of the ferret, the fire dragon that rose to the sky gradually took on a hideous appearance and a tyranny that seemed to burn everything.
After the small but endless heat of the flame bullet flew out of the ape flying sun's slash, and then, it was chased by the wind cut at a faster speed, and the chakra energy of the two different attributes converged together, rolling up like a whirlwind of fire.
Three different fire escape techniques, in different directions, towards the center of the branch, were already wrapped in trees, and the masked man who couldn't see the trace blasted away!
The Wood Escape Technique, which can be attacked and defended like a divine skill, has left a memory that impresses all ninjas in the ninja world in the hands of the Thousand Hand Pillars, so the three of them did not have any reservations, but took their understanding of the Fire Escape Technique to the extreme!
Bang!
Almost at the same time, three fire escape techniques bombarded the thorny branches that were spreading outward and waving.
In the branches, the Mu Dun Chakra, which carries a strong life energy, tries to absorb, devour, and digest these fire attribute chakras, but unfortunately, the strength of the ability may determine the upper limit of the user, but the strength depends on the user's talent.
If Mu Dun is used by the legendary Thousand Hand Pillars, perhaps with his ability, he can completely absorb all the chakra energy brought by these techniques with the special properties of Mu Dun, so that the energy can become the nourishment for the growth of the branches.
However, the one who is now using the technique of Izuki Escape is not a Thousand Hands Pillar, but an unknown masked man who is suspected of being 'Uchiha Obito'!
In the blink of an eye, the vines and branches that spread outwards like small snakes quickly turned into black ashes under the devouring of the scorching flames!
The flames were like ant colonies, engulfing the small snakes that had stopped moving, and then gradually penetrated deeper into the center!
Bang!
The sea of fire in front of him disappeared in front of Uchiha Itachi's eyes along with smoke.
Gone.
The masked man who called himself 'Madara Uchiha', but what he guessed was 'Uchiha Obito', disappeared from their eyes.
"Be careful, he should have used the cover of the technique to hide the position with the shadow clone, making up for the arrogance of revealing his true body at the beginning."
Sarutobi stopped his steps, alerted to the situation around him, and said solemnly, "Next, we will really face a ninja who has both wood escape and space-time skills. ”
"And...... There is also a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, which is very tricky. ”
At first, the masked man may have attacked and killed in such an arrogant way because he didn't know the strength of the Uchiha Itachi and only regarded him as a child.
But now, the other party's mentality should be different.
As he spoke, he instinctively approached the ferret again.
There is no doubt that the purpose of the masked man is to provoke the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha by killing the Uchiha Itachi, and to promote the loss of the next battle.
Therefore, Uchiha Itachi must not die, at least not in this situation, otherwise he will not be able to explain it clearly!
"Three generations of adults, be careful, you are also his target."
However, Itachi also slowly approached the ape flying sun, "His attack just now confirms my analysis, it does have the ability of space-time ninjutsu, and can hide part of his body in another layer of space when attacked. ”
"And he should also have the ability to pull the enemy into that alternate plane."
"However, there is a flaw in his ability to be used, it seems that he needs to touch the enemy, so he was luring me to attack just now."
Once again, he shared the information he had gained from his 'own trials'.
Itachi's judgment and analysis of the battle was undoubtedly keen, underneath Artoria's supernatural intuition.
The mask man's tactic of revealing his true identity just now should be to lure the enemy.
As for the reason, it could be seen from the invisible vortex that rolled up in the air after his defeat with that punch just now, and he wanted to suck himself into another time and space where he was hiding.
As for Itachi's reminder, the ape Feiri, who was slowly approaching him, slashed his footsteps, and then nodded with a strange face, "If that's the case, it will be very difficult for us to catch him." ”
He had forgotten that he was one of the goals.
Whether it's himself or Uchiha Itachi dying here, it's not clear what happened.
Kakashi was the only one present.
On the one hand, he didn't know how to protect the two of them, and on the other hand, his thoughts were confused because of the analysis in Uchiha Itachi's mouth.
Masked Man...... Is it really Obito?
"My personal advice, keep going."
Itachi pondered for a moment, "With his ability to master the Temporal Technique, it will not be easy for us to capture him. ”
"And if there is a stalemate here, we may not be able to consume him, after all, with Mu Dun, his life energy is relatively strong."
"I suggest we keep an eye on him while we hurry."
Although the other party's ability has been roughly analyzed, in fact, even if it is analyzed, they don't have much to deal with at the moment.
The space-time technique is definitely a 'forbidden technique' that is far beyond the ordinary technique and integrates attack and defense.
It is powerful enough to make a civilian ninja in Bo Feng Shuimen become the 'golden flash' in the mouth of all civilians, and has the combat power that the ninjas of the enemy village cannot resist and intercept no matter how they defend themselves.
And with the two powerful forbidden techniques of Mu Dun and Time and Space Technique, which are both offensive and defensive, Itachi can only think of the result that the absolute party hopes for, and achieve the goal of 'victory'.
Even so, the ninjas in Konoha Village all understood that there was another secret force chasing them, not that the two of them clashed halfway to avoid the outbreak of conflicts.
Although, in a sense, it's just an escape.
But there is no way to do it, Itachi doesn't know much about space-time techniques, and he can't think of any practical means to deal with it for a while.
In terms of frontal combat power, this masked man is obviously inferior to them.
But if he can't beat and run, they can't help each other either, and they will even be constantly consumed.
And...... This matter is not a bad thing for Itachi, or indeed for the Uchiha.
At least with such a 'shadowy' enemy, the attitude of the ape flying and slashing is obviously different.
And the attitude of the ape flying to the sun can often represent the attitude of Konoha.
In other words, although this masked man appeared with the purpose of killing himself, in a sense, he met his own strategic needs.
