I rely on myself

Chapter 679 Fierce Confrontation
Seeing that Yong didn't seem to be seriously injured, Hu turned his attention back to Itachi. Even now, Itachi still maintained that calm look, without any sign of taking out kunai or shuriken. His body looked completely relaxed, without any alert movements, as if he was looking down on the two fellow tribesmen in front of him.

Seeing this, even Hu, the captain, felt a little annoyed, not to mention Yong. However, he had just been scolded by Hu, so he naturally would not be impulsive. However, he had the idea in his mind that if he had the chance later, he would definitely make the other party pay.

Looking at Uchiha Itachi who was standing quietly there, waiting for them to launch an attack, Hu took out a few more shurikens from the ninja tool bag at his waist, while instructing Yong behind him.

"Yong, although this traitor is shameful, his talent and strength are real, so I will be the main force to entangle him. Once you have the chance, don't hesitate and launch an attack directly. Do you understand?"

"……clear."

Yong understood the meaning of his captain's words and was naturally very resistant, but he also understood the captain's determination, so after hesitating for a while, he finally agreed with a heavy heart.

Different from Yong's seriousness, Hu smiled carefreely after hearing the answer, and then became serious.

"Then, come on!"

While speaking, Hu also threw shurikens at Itachi. Six shurikens drew different trajectories and flew towards Itachi from different directions, blocking the space for him to dodge on both sides.

At the same time, Hu and Yong, one in front and one behind, rushed towards Itachi head-on, taking care of each other.

In just a moment, a fairly tight blockade was formed, surrounding Itachi tightly, leaving no room for escape at all.

But even facing such a predicament, the expression on Uchiha Itachi's face remained as calm as ever, until the shuriken was about to hit him, then he reacted.

He quickly formed a seal with one hand, and in less than a second, Itachi tilted his head back slightly and took a deep breath.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Itachi used the Uchiha clan's signature fire-style ninjutsu in an instant. The huge fireball rolled over like a raging wave, and even burned a black dent in the ground.

Faced with such raging flames, the six shurikens naturally seemed insignificant. Before they were even touched by the flames, the airflow generated was enough to blow them all away.

Looking at the oncoming fireball that was already very close, Hu and Yong had no choice but to stop and temporarily avoid the attack, jumping to the left and right respectively.

Looking at the fireball passing by him at a certain distance, Yong felt a sense of fear. Even at this distance, the heat emitted by the fireball made his skin feel scorching hot, let alone facing it directly. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized something.

I don't know when Itachi had quietly approached him and kicked him with a powerful kick.

At the critical moment, Yong successfully blocked the kick with his arms, but was still kicked away. Just when Itachi wanted to continue chasing him, Hu Cheng arrived in time to rescue him.

"Escape from Earth Flood Wall Technique!"

As he formed seals with his hands, a very thick earth wall rose from the ground in front of Itachi, completely separating him from Yong.

Seeing this, Itachi had to give up the idea of ​​chasing and turned to look at Mamoru. Mamoru did not stop after performing the ninjutsu, but went straight to Itachi with a kunai in both hands, obviously intending to attack with taijutsu. In response, Itachi also fought back with taijutsu. After several rounds of fighting, both sides understood one thing.

That is, in terms of physical skills alone, both sides are at about the same level. At most, Itachi has some advantages because of the Mangekyō Sharingan, but it is not obvious and not enough for him to defeat his opponent.

Mamoru suddenly threw a powerful punch, but such an obvious attack was naturally very easy for Itachi, who had the Sharingan, to see through, and he just dodged it by turning his head slightly. However, Itachi did not take the opportunity to counterattack with Mamoru's old move, but instead suddenly distanced himself.

The next moment, a figure suddenly fell from the sky. It was Yong. At this moment, he was holding a ninja sword in each hand, pointing directly downwards. Under the pull of gravity potential energy, he fell heavily to the ground. The two ninja swords were also deeply inserted into the ground with the help of this potential energy.

If Itachi had hesitated for a moment, he would have been hit by Yong's surprise attack, but the reality was that Itachi noticed it in advance and avoided it.

"Tsk, he was dodged like this!"

Yong pulled out two ninja swords from the ground and got into position facing Itachi again, while Hu came to his side and got into position as well before speaking.

"Indeed, it seems that ordinary means are useless. Yong, just use whichever one you want."

"Captain, you mean...Okay! I get it!"

"Which one? Are you planning to use some secret technique? Or something else... I guess we should be more cautious."

There was no deliberate concealment of the conversation between Hu and Yong, so Itachi naturally heard it. Although he didn't know what the other party was planning to do, it was always right to be vigilant.

On the other side, while Kisame was dealing with the other three Uchiha members, he was also paying attention to Itachi's situation.

Seeing that Go and Yong were able to hold out against Itachi for such a long time, Kisame sincerely praised them, "Since they were able to hold out against Mr. Itachi for such a long time, they are quite capable... But then again, the Uchiha clan really lives up to its reputation. Not to mention the three of them on Mr. Itachi's side, just the three of us on my side, each of them is quite powerful, and they all have good attainments in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, plus they have good coordination, it's a bit difficult to deal with them."

Although he sighed like this, Kisame's situation at the moment was not bad. Facing the siege of three Uchiha, although he was not at ease, he also suffered some injuries.

The three Uchiha naturally saw the situation at this moment and understood that Kisame was not using his full strength, but was just trying to hold them back and prevent them from interfering in the battle on the other side.

Although they were naturally a little annoyed by this, the three of them were not reckless people. They suppressed their discomfort and continued to fight with him, dragging him here while letting the captain and Yong on the other side take down the traitor first. They were confident in this.

Back to Hu and Yong, after listening to Hu's words, Yong also realized that in order to defeat Itachi, he had to use some trump cards or something, and naturally he would not be unwilling to do so.

At this moment, the gem in the middle of an ornament on Yong's waist suddenly lit up, shining a fiery red, and at the same time a flame-shaped pattern emerged.

As this strange phenomenon appeared, Yong's momentum suddenly increased, and it continued to rise slowly afterwards.
