Chapter 182 Sasuke VS Itachi

The morning is already halfway over.

As the thick fog dissipated, the sun quietly peeked out from behind the clouds, and the sky brightened considerably.

On a path leading away from Konoha, lined with lush green trees, two figures in red robes and black robes were hurrying along.

Remembering something, Kisame glanced sideways at Itachi Uchiha, who had maintained a cold expression ever since leaving Konoha.

"Mr. Itachi, are we just leaving like this? Aren't we going to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Kisame was a little confused.

When the leader announced these tasks, it was Itachi Uchiha who insisted on taking them on.

The mission isn't finished yet, why are you leaving already?
Isn't Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, right in the village?
Although the trip to Konoha just now was a bit bumpy, this difficulty is not a reason to cancel the plan.

“There are too many Konoha ninjas in the village, and too few opportunities. Naruto Uzumaki will leave the village at noon to carry out a mission, and that will be our chance,” Itachi Uchiha said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Kisame's small eyes widened in surprise for a moment.

"Ah."

Kisame nodded slightly.

He knew that this must be the information that Mr. Itachi had obtained from the Konoha ninjas during that genjutsu.

Noon?
Kisame looked up at the sun, which was slanting eastward overhead. It would be soon.

However, for some reason, Kisame's mind flashed back to that guy in the uniform, wearing a strange mask, who had been laughing loudly in front of him.

Those strange outfits probably belong to a department like the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu.
But why was he laughing so wildly?
Could it be mocking their overestimation of their abilities?

Although the newspapers portrayed Naruto as incredibly strong, calling him "the God of Shinobi!" and "single-handedly defeating the First and Second Hokage," etc.

But in reality
Kisame felt that Naruto Uzumaki was still lacking something!
"Ok?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Kisame turned around in confusion.

He saw a figure rapidly approaching from not far behind him.

Uchiha Itachi, who was standing next to him, also stopped.

He also sensed that this chakra was somewhat familiar.

That's right!

It's him!

"stop!!!"

The figure finally caught up and stood menacingly behind the two.

"It's been a long time, Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi didn't even turn his head; his voice was as cold as ever, as if he were greeting a stranger.

Kisame turned to the side to get a clear look at the person who had come.

But it's this figure, this face, and most importantly, those eyes.
It's actually a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe?
Instantly, Kisame's face revealed an interesting yet strange expression. "Oh~ He has Sharingan, and he looks a lot like you. Who is he?"

The key question is, where did those eyes come from? Kisame was extremely curious.

“My brother!” Itachi Uchiha replied coldly.

younger brother?

This title puzzled Kisame even more. "How come I heard that the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out?"

To confirm, Kisame emphasized again, "You're the one who killed them all!"

Itachi Uchiha remained silent.

At that moment, Sasuke, who had been running all the way, saw his enemy and could no longer hold back. "Uchiha, I'm going to kill you, even if it's one against seven!"

Sasuke's voice trembled with unusual anger.

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha turned around and faced Sasuke.

He raised his cold eyes.

This was the first time Itachi Uchiha had seen Sasuke since that night.

By now, Sasuke is already twelve years old.

He looks fairly healthy, but the focus is on his eyes.

"Has it already reached three tomoe?"

Uchiha Itachi thought to himself, "At such a young age, he already has three tomoe?"

He felt a mixture of slight joy and sadness.

How to advance the Sharingan?

As someone who had been through it all, Itachi Uchiha naturally understood this perfectly.

Each advancement of the Sharingan's tomoe is a painful upgrade, and it is often accompanied by a loss.

Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan, while not as advanced as his peers at the same age, is still of unknown origin. It's unclear what Sasuke went through over the years to evolve it into a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Since his defection, Itachi Uchiha has been keeping track of Konoha's intelligence all these years, but he has never heard of any war or similar situation occurring in Konoha.

Moreover, given Sasuke's age, he had no chance to personally experience war, so he naturally couldn't truly understand the feeling of loss.

So how exactly were these three-tomoe Sharingan upgraded?
Uchiha Itachi fell into thought for a moment.

After a moment, he came to a conclusion.

It must be because of that night, right?
Itachi Uchiha clearly remembered that Sasuke had only awakened one tomoe at that time, and then he passed out.

Looking back now, the events of that time certainly still have an impact.

Perhaps Sasuke's eyes evolved again after he woke up?

really.

The impact of what happened back then on Sasuke was far more than what he saw at the time.

Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan blazed with flames of hatred as he stared intently at Uchiha Itachi, a torrent of rage brewing within him.

I finally saw this man again.

Over the years, whenever I think of this man, I think of that night, the night when my beloved parents died in front of me.

That very night, everything changed!

My dear brother, my family, my clan—all vanished overnight.

The culprit is none other than the person right in front of us—Uchiha Itachi!
Now, finally... finally, my revenge is about to be achieved!

A thin stream of chakra, driven by his emotions, could no longer be controlled and left his body, swirling around him.

"I did as you said, I hated you, I loathed you! And then I wanted to kill you."

Zizzizi~~~
Sasuke activated Chidori, lightning flashed on his right hand, and a noisy, low-pitched thunderclap sounded.

"Chidori?"

Itachi Uchiha recognized the technique before him as Kakashi's Chidori.

This ninjutsu is not easy to learn, it seems Sasuke has grown quite a bit over the years.

just
Recalling the choices and circumstances he faced back then, Itachi Uchiha felt a pang of sadness.

Not enough, not enough!

That's far from enough!

On the other side, Sasuke's anger grew even stronger!

The scene from that night flashed before his eyes again, and Sasuke could no longer suppress his anger. "I've lived this long because I did all of this!"

I'm going to kill you!

With a final shout, Sasuke lowered his body and charged forward.

Seeing someone rushing towards him, Kisame touched Samehada with his hand.

"No!"

Itachi Uchiha suppressed Kisame's urge to step forward, "I'll do it myself!"

He stared intently at Sasuke as he rushed towards him, determined to test him.

Itachi Uchiha remembered that Sasuke's current age was about the same as when he defected from Konoha.

Back then, even without considering the Kaleidoscope skill, his strength was at least Kage-level.

But those were all experiences of trials and tribulations, even war!

And what about Sasuke?

Itachi Uchiha was keen to give it a try.

How strong is Sasuke, who has never experienced war?
He is very curious!

Sasuke Uchiha was already upon them. He was naturally fast.

His all-out effort against Rock Lee during the Chunin Exams was a testament to his skill.

Even more so, Sasuke, filled with rage, performed exceptionally well, increasing his speed even further.

Sasuke moved as fast as lightning, arriving in front of Itachi Uchiha in the blink of an eye.

“Zizzizi~~~”

"Die!!!"

With a roar from Sasuke, the Chidori, brimming with lightning and possessing immense destructive power, was unleashed by Sasuke and stabbed towards Uchiha Itachi with unstoppable force.

If this move lands, even a physical education student would be seriously injured.

Yes, just like Sasuke.

Itachi Uchiha also possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Everything that happened before him was happening in slow motion.

Then, *smack*!
At the precise moment, Itachi Uchiha used his height advantage to raise his knee and suddenly stop Sasuke's movement. Then, with a grab of his right hand, he so easily interrupted Sasuke's ultimate move.

this.
It was cracked so easily?

Sasuke looked up in astonishment, meeting Itachi Uchiha's cold, emotionless gaze.

Seeing Sasuke's eyes again triggered my PTSD.

A scrolling light flashed before his eyes.
Time seemed to rewind to that night, the night he witnessed his biological parents die before his eyes, and the person in front of him was the murderer who killed them.

Back then, that person's eyes looked exactly the same as they do now!
Exactly the same!!!
"what!!!"

Uchiha Sasuke roared, and after a moment, a mad glint flashed in his eyes, and a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

"I've been tricked!" he said.

"Huh?" Itachi Uchiha was startled.

Before he could react, the lightning flashing from the Thousand Birds suddenly condensed into a ball, and the next moment, a flashing lightsaber suddenly extended rapidly.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Sword!!!"

This incredibly solid lightning sword, formed from lightning, is terrifyingly destructive. It can easily cut through anything, not just people, but even steel ingots that have been refined a hundred times.

Of course, that's Naruto's lightsaber.

But Sasuke's isn't bad either!
Besides, it's just a physical body!

Uchiha Itachi, without even realizing it, was stabbed straight through.

"What a powerful move!"

Kisame, who was watching the show up close, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

After saying that, he took a deep look at the little rascal—no, it was Itachi's younger brother.

I never imagined that the Uchiha clan would produce so many talented people.

Forehead.
The Uchiha clan can no longer be considered a distinct group.

Because at this moment, only the two remaining members of the family are Mr. Itachi and his younger brother.

wrong!

Thinking of Uchiha Kurenai whom he had met just a few days ago, Kisame increased the number to three.

Still not right!
Thinking of that "Uchiha Madara" who convincingly built a world that was "not fake," only to be exposed as Uchiha Obito, who was just a fake senior figure who was committing telecommunications fraud.

Kisame silently increased the number to four.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Why does it seem like there are more and more Uchiha clans in the ninja world?

Kisame sighed, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, Itachi has already wiped out the Uchiha clan, so there shouldn't be any other Uchiha in the future, right?

In a flash, Kisame looked at Sasuke again.

It is said that the Uchiha clan is indeed full of talented people. Even Itachi's younger brother, who looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old, has already mastered such powerful ninjutsu.

but
Kisame grinned cruelly.

He was already ugly, but when he smiled, he looked even more like a ghost, a complete shark monster.

This face looks so dignified that it could definitely stop a baby from crying at night.

"Itachi-san isn't so easily defeated!" Kisame said with a wicked grin.

"Ok?"

Sasuke looked at him with surprise, then quickly turned around to look at Uchiha Itachi, who was hit by a lightsaber.

Sure enough, as soon as Kisame finished speaking, the situation changed abruptly.

"Quack quack~~~"

The originally solid Uchiha Itachi suddenly transformed into a flock of crows and flew out in all directions.

Looking around, where is Itachi Uchiha?
what?
Sasuke couldn't believe it; the creature he had just defeated was merely a crow clone.

when?
Sasuke asked himself, he clearly hadn't seen Itachi make any move just now.

How exactly did they create the clones?

"You seem to have grown a bit, Sass!" The man's voice sounded from behind.

Sasuke showed no appreciation for Itachi's concern.

He felt only disgusted by the praise!
shuh~~
Without hesitation, Sasuke suddenly conjured a light sword in his hand and abruptly thrust it backward.

However, Itachi Uchiha easily dodged it!
Seeing that he had not yet succeeded, Sasuke increased the amount of chakra he channeled into his body.

Suddenly, the lightsaber, which was originally a little over a meter long, extended again, growing much longer to five or six meters.

This is Sasuke's last resort!
But it still didn't work out!

Sasuke's unexpected attack was still ineffective, as Itachi Uchiha, who also possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan, dodged it.

This...this.
Seeing that his strongest trump card was completely useless, the light in Sasuke's eyes dimmed.

This is one of his most powerful moves, how could it be completely ineffective?

Sasuke's disappointment lasted only a moment before he regained his fighting spirit.

He turned around and looked up to meet the person's gaze.

Upon making eye contact, Sasuke suddenly understood.

That person possessed the same three-tomoe Sharingan as me, and naturally had the same dynamic vision, so such a move would be completely ineffective if I was prepared.

In other words, they were all taught by the same master, so there's no way to counter their moves!
opposite.

Uchiha Itachi was also silently observing Sasuke.

He recognized the ninjutsu called Chidori.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Kakashi-senpai developed an even stronger ninjutsu based on Chidori.

As for the possibility that Sasuke developed this ninjutsu, Itachi hadn't considered it.

Itachi was already very pleased that Sasuke could use such a ninjutsu.

Relive the feeling of the crow clone.
Itachi felt that Sasuke's ability to master this kind of ninjutsu, which involved the form and nature transformation of lightning-attribute chakra, was enough to demonstrate Sasuke's strength.

But that's not enough!

Since that's the case, let's try something else.

With this thought in mind, Itachi Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan quietly began to rotate, and the invisible power of his eye began to take effect.

Illusion, activate!
Although he secretly admired it, Itachi Uchiha showed no mercy on the surface.

"I have absolutely no interest in you right now!"

Uchiha Itachi spoke softly and coldly, especially his eyes, which were as cold as ice, making anyone who looked at him feel a chill.

How to provoke Sasuke?
In this respect, even Naruto has to give Itachi Uchiha some leeway.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Uchiha Sasuke was furious!
This man, after so many years of hard work and revenge, thought he had enough strength to finally stand before him.
And this is the evaluation I received?

Sasuke, who was already trying to calm down, was instantly overcome with passion.

“Zizzizi~~~”

Chidori's sharp cry rang out again, and Sasuke gathered lightning in his left hand, charging towards Itachi Uchiha once more.

"go to hell!!!"
