Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Kisame also noticed something was wrong, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Itachi's Fire Release technique was actually suppressed?!

We can't hesitate any longer.

Itachi made his decision.

A streak of bright red blood slowly slid down the corner of his right eye and dripped into the cold river water at his feet.

At this moment, the shape of the pupils of his rotating three-tomoe Sharingan underwent a strange change.

"Amaterasu."

A cold name was whispered from his lips.

At the focal point of his vision, a small cluster of dark flames appeared out of thin air atop the massive fireball that was about to be completely consumed.

The moment that cluster of black flames appeared, it spread wildly outwards, instantly engulfing Itachi's own fireball.

Then he was met with Sasuke's "Indra" black flames.

Two black flames, similar in nature but with completely different origins, finally collided directly.

There was no violent explosion as expected.

The two streams of black flame, like two wild beasts tearing at each other, frantically eroded each other and then annihilated one another.

After the battle, the Nanga River fell into an eerie silence.

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at this illogical scene before him, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Turning to look at his partner beside him, he saw that Uchiha Itachi was still standing there calmly, but the right eye under his hat, from which blood and tears had flowed, had slowly closed.

Uchiha Itachi's inner world was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.

He knew better than anyone what had just happened.

The "quality" of that power, that concept of burning completely yet never being extinguished...

Without a doubt, it is the same thing as his "Amaterasu".

This was supposed to be the power that could only be unlocked after experiencing the most extreme pain and hatred, the power that the cursed Mangekyou Sharingan could wield.

But why...?

For the first time, Itachi Uchiha's heart wavered regarding his own plans.

He slowly raised his head, his Sharingan peering through the thick mist, locking onto the small, thin figure in the distance.

Sasuke stood there calmly, the black flames on his sword still burning.

Itachi Uchiha's heart sank.

Therefore, it seems that the black flames used by Sasuke did not originate from his eye technique, but from that strange sword.

According to the information provided by the village, Sasuke has not left the village in recent years.

Moreover, they basically had no contact with outsiders.

Where did Sasuke get those two strange swords? He had never seen similar weapons before.

Furthermore, Sasuke also knows many strange and undocumented techniques...

Chapter 87 Next... Change of personnel!

ha......"

Kisame Hoshigaki let out a low laugh, breaking the silence.

"Let's stop here, Mr. Itachi."

He slowly lowered the massive sharkskin from his shoulder, all the bandages turning to ash from the aftershocks of the flames, revealing the eerie blade covered in barbs underneath.

"Warm-up is over. Now, let me 'savor' him properly."

Kisame's fighting spirit was already boiling. He couldn't wait to personally experience just how "delicious" this brat who could rival Itachi was.

However, in the face of his impending step, Sasuke Uchiha made an unexpected move.

He slowly sheathed the "Indra," a sword burning with ominous black flames.

"Ok?"

Kisame's movements paused slightly.

"To deal with you..."

Sasuke raised his head and calmly looked at Kisame in front of him. "We don't need it yet."

The moment he finished speaking, he reached back and grabbed another knife at his waist.

"Clang—!"

A clear, resonant sound of the sword being drawn.

The light blue blade traced a cool, clear light in the misty air, with faint arcs of electricity subtly flowing across its surface.

Takemikazuchi.

Upon seeing this weapon with its completely different aura, Kisame grinned maliciously.

"Oh? You have other tricks up your sleeve? Kid, you really know how to keep surprising me!"

Without another word, he slammed his foot down, slicing the massive Samehada towards Sasuke's head!

Sasuke did not take the hit head-on.

"Lightning Form, Flash!"

He let out a low shout, and his entire body instantly transformed into a blurry streak of lightning, lunging forward to thrust at the very moment the massive blade was about to fall!

Kisame's pupils contracted sharply. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the little devil's figure had already suddenly appeared in his arms!

That's suicide!

He sneered inwardly, and with a flick of his wrist, prepared to crush this arrogant brat with the side of Samehada.

However, Sasuke's goal was not to thrust at all.

In the instant their bodies intersected, Sasuke's body sank at an incredible angle, delivering a powerful whip kick imbued with spiritual energy that struck Kisame's right leg precisely.

A muffled thud.

Kisame felt a sharp crack on his knee, and his body involuntarily half-kneeled, causing the trajectory of his slash to deviate.

"boom--!!!"

The enormous sharkskin crashed to the ground, creating a crater on the entire riverbank, sending rubble and mud flying into the air.

"You bastard..."

Kisame struggled to his feet, staring incredulously at the figure that had already gracefully retreated several meters away.

This technique...

"Your physical skills are pretty good, kid!"

Kisame's excitement was palpable. "But that's not enough!"

Before he could finish speaking, several kunai, gleaming with fire, had already blocked Sasuke's retreat from another direction.

It's Uchiha Itachi.

Faced with this pincer attack, Sasuke's expression finally turned serious.

"Clang! Clang!"

The Takemikazuchi in his hand transformed into streaks of lightning, precisely slicing through the incoming kunai.

Kisame laughed wildly, swinging Samehada in his hand with wide, sweeping movements.

Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha lingered on the periphery, occasionally using his ninjutsu to disrupt the enemy.

Kisame grew increasingly terrified as the fight progressed.

The kid's swordsmanship was far more sophisticated than he had imagined.

That was true, pure swordsmanship for killing!

What's even stranger is his speed.

Every time it seemed like he was about to be hit by Samehada, he managed to narrowly avoid it.

It moved so fast that it left only a faint afterimage in his field of vision.

"It's not over yet!"

Once again dodging Samehada's immense pressure, Sasuke leaped back to create distance, and the Takemikazuchi Blade in his hand erupted with violent black lightning.

"Thunder!"

Three condensed black lightning pillars, arranged in a triangular shape, blasted towards Kisame!

"Another jutsu that doesn't require chakra?!"

Kisame's heart tightened, and he dared not be careless. He held Samehada across his chest, preparing to take the hit head-on.

However, just as the three lightning pillars were about to hit him, they suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless tiny electric snakes that bypassed Samehada's defenses and coiled around his limbs from three different angles!

It's a feint!

Kisame's expression changed drastically, but it was too late.

A strong feeling of numbness instantly spread throughout his body, causing his massive frame to stiffen.

Uchiha Sasuke's figure, using the cover of lightning, once again rushed in front of him.

The Takemikazuchi in his hand was aimed straight at his heart!

however--

Just as the pale blue blade was about to touch his chest.

One hand precisely grabbed Sasuke's wrist as he held the sword.

It's Uchiha Itachi.
