From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

This Uchiha brat is a bit stronger and faster than Kakashi was before.

Kakuzu could understand why Kakuzu was able to dodge his frontal attacks using the Sharingan's perception.

After all, Kakashi with only one Sharingan was able to do it before.

However, this is limited to frontal attacks.

After all, the Sharingan is not the Byakugan and does not have a 360-degree field of vision.

Kakashi was quickly overwhelmed by the attacks from all sides emanating from his Earth Grudge Fear.

But the Uchiha Sasuke in front of him seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, dodging every attack that came from his blind spot.

One or two times could be attributed to coincidence or experience, but if it happened consistently, Kakuzu became a little suspicious.

"If you say so, then it is."

Sasuke dodged Kakuzu's attacks while casually giving a perfunctory reply.

"Oh...."

Hearing Sasuke's dismissive tone, Kakuzu laughed instead: "If your body still has the talent of a sensory ninja, then that would be a very pleasant surprise for me."

As he spoke, the wind-attribute monster appeared behind him, spitting out compressed air bullets that shattered rows of trees with a series of banging sounds, all aimed at Sasuke's body, but Sasuke dodged them all.

"good."

Kakuzu suddenly stopped attacking, a hint of satisfaction and longing flashing in his eyes as he looked at Sasuke.

"Whether it's taijutsu or ninjutsu, among the ninjas I've encountered over the decades, none are more outstanding than you at this age."

'So, you, Kakuzu, are willing to call me the strongest?'

Sasuke mentally complained as he quickly flew backward, his right hand still tightly gripping the hilt of the Fire Armor.

He and Kakuzu eventually clashed.

Although Kakuzu had one of his hearts destroyed by Kakashi, he was not in his complete form and his strength was weakened.

However, since the start of the battle, it has been extremely difficult, as the three masked monsters and Kakuzu's true form cooperated very well.

Furthermore, it can fly at low altitudes and occasionally unleash combined ninjutsu that combines the two attributes.

It completely overwhelmed Sasuke, who was only in his three-tomoe form, forcing him to remain in a passive defensive posture throughout.

Sasuke, having noticed Obito Uchiha's arrival, did not want to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Of course, if faced with a dangerous situation, Sasuke would definitely use the Mangekyou Sharingan without hesitation to save his life first.

Ideally, without revealing the Kaleidoscope, the goal is not to kill Kakuzu, but simply to make him back down.

While pondering silently, Sasuke glanced casually at the sky filled with drifting clouds and made a decision in his mind.

The chakra particles on the blade of the Fire Armor began to spin even more rapidly.

one move!

If this move fails to defeat Kakuzu, or at least make him back down.

So Sasuke risked exposing his Mangekyou Sharingan and used his chakra wings to take Kakashi away from there.

Just as Sasuke was pondering, Kakuzu made a new move. He quickly formed several hand seals, and at the same time, three masked monsters swarmed forward.

Earth Release: Earth Prison Hall Without End!

With a loud rumble, the ground beneath Sasuke's feet shook violently and surged, like an earth dragon turning over. Huge rocks formed a dome-like shape, about to trap Sasuke inside!

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and with a powerful push of his legs, he leaped out at lightning speed.

However, almost simultaneously, the attacks of the three masked monsters arrived, with streams of air, flames, and lightning shooting out at high speed toward Sasuke's position.

Kakuzu sneered, "This time, let's see how you hide now."

"hide?"

Unexpectedly, Sasuke showed no intention of dodging the fierce attack from the other side.

The space around him seemed to distort, the light suddenly dimmed, and he drew his sword fiercely!

next moment!

Golden light shines brilliantly, and crimson light shines scorchingly like the sun!

A massive, crimson-moon-like fiery blade burst forth, striking the three masked monsters with a single blow, as if a white rainbow pierced the sun.

"Is this the move that defeated Hidan?"

Kakuzu's eyes widened in shock. In a moment of desperation, he instinctively unleashed all the ninjutsu he was using to control the three monsters, attempting to block Sasuke's attack while simultaneously dodging his three clones.

With a series of loud explosions, the three monsters' ninjutsu only managed to block the giant fiery blade for a moment before they were lifted up, entangled, and the crimson blade, accompanied by a gale and lightning, struck straight into the sky.

Then it exploded high in the sky, and in an instant, the wind rose and the clouds surged, and the whole sky seemed to be on fire, dyed a deep crimson color, forming a magnificent scene of fiery clouds like the sunset.

"That move was really dangerous, but unfortunately, it seems he didn't execute it perfectly, which allowed Kakuzu to dodge his attack."

In the distance, Bai Jue, who was watching the battle, looked surprised and smacked his lips.

"Is that sword in his hand a divine weapon? Does the Uchiha clan possess such a weapon?"

White Zetsu looked at Obito beside him. Obito pondered for a moment and then shook his head slightly.

"I don't remember the Uchiha having such a fire-attribute weapon."

Black Zetsu looked at the jet-black sword in Sasuke's hand, which resembled black crystal, and after thinking about it for a while, he figured out the origin of the weapon.

'These three remaining Uchiha are quite interesting.....'

They're all filial sons!

Black Zetsu scoffed inwardly.

At this moment, Bai Jue's carefree voice rang out again.

"Sasuke Uchiha's Fire Release is really strong. Now he has a divine weapon. If this continues, he'll be able to kill Itachi in a few years."

"You're oversimplifying things, White Zetsu."

"Perhaps Sasuke Uchiha has surpassed Itachi Uchiha in terms of conventional ninjutsu skills, but Itachi awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan when he was younger than him."

Obito stood with his hands behind his back and spoke in an extremely indifferent tone.

"And all conventional ninjutsu, as well as so-called divine artifacts, are nothing in the face of the supreme power of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"That's true..." White Zetsu scratched his head, puzzled, "But didn't you almost get killed by the Fourth Hokage back then?"

Obito Uchiha: "........"

Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha, who had just emerged from Takigakure, sped toward the location at breakneck speed, leaving trails of afterimages in the air.

"Is this Brother Zhishui's Sword Leap Flame?"

As he sped along, Itachi Uchiha saw the giant flaming blade soaring into the sky and showed a look of surprise.

The so-called Shisui Notes were left behind by him under the false name of Uchiha Shisui.

From what we can see now, Sasuke did indeed read the book "The Will of Fire" and learned the techniques from it.

However, this move, Sword Leap Flame, was not quite the same as the original. Its power was much greater than the original Sword Leap Flame, and it could only be barely seen that it was derived from Sword Leap Flame.

"Sasuke has surpassed me in swordsmanship and fire release techniques."

Itachi Uchiha felt somewhat comforted. He could also use the Sword Leap Flame technique, but neither he nor Shisui Uchiha could achieve this level of power when using it.

After making a sigh, Itachi Uchiha looked at the sky again.

The fiery colors of the sunset had faded, quickly transforming into a gloomy, dark scene, as if from hell.

Thick, dark clouds rapidly gathered and churned, with faint flashes of lightning and serpentine movements visible within!

Itachi Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly, and he increased his speed even further.

................

Brush brush!

The three Earth Grudges returned to Kakuzu's side. Kakuzu glanced at the Earth Grudges' black lines that had been mostly severed and their charred bodies, and sighed.

"Did you just use this move to defeat Hidan?"

As he spoke, clusters of black lines continuously emerged from Kakuzu's main body, connecting with the Earth Grudge to carry out repairs.

"However, the power seems to be much weaker than before. Is it due to insufficient preparation, or a lack of chakra?"

Sasuke glanced at Kakuzu but said nothing.

The Mahakala he is using now is naturally inferior to the Mahakala he accumulated during his long sprint, while focusing intently on building momentum.

Sasuke's goal was not to use Daikokuten to defeat Kakuzu, as he was unable to unleash much of Daikokuten's power while facing constant attacks.

"That's about it!"

Sasuke glanced at the densely clouded sky out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself.

"That's enough, you Uchiha brat!"

Kakuzu was getting impatient; it had been so long and he still hadn't managed to take down a kid from Konoha.

This made him, a man who considered himself to be on par with the First Hokage, somewhat embarrassed.

"Your heart is mine now!"

After speaking, Kakuzu's body suddenly erupted with a powerful burst of chakra.

Have you ever seen a blue deeper than the ocean, or heard a roar deeper than the waves?

Just as Kakuzu was about to charge forward again, Sasuke's calm voice rang out.

"Ok?"

Kakuzu paused for a moment, glanced at Sasuke with a puzzled look, and then snorted coldly when he saw that Sasuke simply met his gaze calmly.

"Playing hard to get!"

The three streams of Earth Grudge, imbued with lightning, flames, and hurricane energy, swept towards the opponent at high speed, with Kakuzu's main body closely following behind.

However, just as Kakuzu Jigengo launched his attack...

A longsword, radiating boundless light and wreathed in endless lightning, suddenly appeared in front of Sasuke, rising without wind and hovering in mid-air!
