Escape From Konoha

boom!

Click!

The moment the thunderous lightning flash touched the ground, the shock wave generated by the lightning explosion directly affected the huge wall outside the dome building, causing it to buzz and tremble. The originally solid wall was also affected by this terrifying impact. Under the force, it bulged outwards and cracked all over.

As for the battlefield located at the core of the lightning, there were no traces of buildings for a long time, and they were covered by countless flying dust.

Even the sea of ​​fire burning all around was dispersed by the momentum generated by the thunder and turned into nothingness. There was only a piece of black flame, which was still supported by the lightning impact, and fell on a broken wall, burning forever.

Dark clouds hung low in the sky, thunder shone, and a heavy pressure enveloped the earth.

The raindrops fell quickly and violently, dyeing the dark sky with a silvery color.

The cold rain mixed with the sweat on Sasuke's face, slid down his cheeks and fell into his neck.

The bright red color of the three Magatama Sharingan dimmed slightly, and although his shoulders tried their best to restrain themselves, they could still clearly see the slight trembling. It was obvious that the blow just now also consumed a lot of Sasuke.

Ordinary Thunder Release Qilin, after the Fire Release forms a cumulonimbus, subsequent operations do not require much chakra and can be detonated directly.

However, in order to raise the power of Thunder Release Qilin to the level of celestial magic, he would need a large supply of celestial magic chakra.

Because he knew very well that it was impossible for the Thunder Release Kirin without the fusion of Senjutsu Chakra to defeat Itachi.

Although many of what Itachi said were unpleasant to listen to, one thing was right, that is, there was an unimaginable gap between the Sharingan and the Mangekyo Sharingan.

With such a gap, there is no way to truly win just by relying on the strength of your pupils.

He knew this very well from his previous battle with Liuli.

Even though Itachi's Mangekyō cannot be compared to Ruri, it is still a pupil technique above the Sharingan.

"But... this is my victory. The 'Kirin' that combines the senjutsu chakra, plus the divine power of the sky thunder, even Susanoo..."

Unless Itachi's eye skills were the same as Ruri's, possessing the strange ability of the 'Eight Thunder Gods' that could directly control the power of thunder, it would be impossible to block this move.

As for Itachi's Mangekyou Eye Technique, he had already confirmed it.

Amaterasu releasing black flames.

Create a powerful illusion that can perfectly control time, quality and other factors, which is Tsukuyomi.

Therefore, it is already very clear that Itachi cannot use the pupil technique to interfere with his escape technique.

As if to confirm this, a faint smile bloomed on Sasuke's tired face, and he looked coldly at the flying dust that had been blown away in front of him. Itachi was lying there peacefully, like a dead corpse, with his eyes closed tightly, without any trace of it. Not even a sound.

But Sasuke could feel that Itachi still had a voice, although it was very weak, but the other party still survived such an attack.

Sasuke raised his heavy steps and was about to step forward.

Click!

An unusual sound came.

Sasuke subconsciously stopped his steps and looked at Itachi's side in shock.

A black shadow emerged from the earth. The opposite figure was wearing a broken red cloud coat with a black background and an orange spiral mask on his face. As soon as he emerged from the earth, he quickly grabbed Itachi's hand with a black-gloved hand. Close your eyes without any hesitation.

"The ultimate winner of this battle is me!"

As if to prove this, he shouted extremely loudly, as if he was declaring his victory in advance.

However--

Just as his palms were about to touch Itachi's eyes, the eyes that had been closed suddenly opened. The right eye was scarlet, and blood started to flow underneath.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The shrill screams made Sasuke, who was confused about the situation, feel his heart tremble.

I saw A Fei sneaking up on Itachi, and a black flame began to burn from his right shoulder.

No matter how A Fei rolled on the ground in pain and roared, he could not extinguish the black flames on his body.

Instead, as he writhed, the black flames burned faster and faster, covering his entire arm and beginning to eat away at his chest and neck.

"Who...is this guy?"

Sasuke looked in shock at this guy who suddenly appeared to attack Itachi and was instantly countered by Itachi. There was no warning for the opponent's appearance.

Moreover, when did this guy lurk here?

Before Sasuke could think more, a scoff came.

In extreme pain, A Fei raised his knife and cut off his right shoulder entirely, then dropped it to the ground.

He stood up in embarrassment, and with his remaining single eye, he glared at Itachi who opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the ground, his eyes revealing resentment and fear.

"Itachi, you-"

His low and hoarse voice was completely different from his usual self.

"You are not Uchiha Madara at all. Although I don't know who you are, my eyes are not that easy to use."

Itachi glanced at the severed arm that was burning with black flames, and there was a pale skin color different from that of humans.

Itachi had seen this color before, and it had the same skin color as Bai Zetsu.

"cut--"

Ah Fei took a few steps back, his lower body slowly blending into the ground.

Itachi was on guard, there was no way he could take away the opponent's eyes.

Itachi did not stop A Fei's retreat, or in other words, for him, this was just a dispensable episode.

The other party would sneak attack on him and seize his Mangekyō Sharingan, which he had already expected.

It's just a pity that I haven't investigated the other party's identity.

But judging from the severed arm that was left just now, it should be a special individual among the White Zetsu.

He remembered that among the Bai Zetsu responsible for Akatsuki intelligence work, there were many special individuals who were more difficult to discover and deal with than ordinary Bai Zetsu.

This masked man should be one of the special individuals.

It's just that after incorporating a Mangekyō Sharingan, I, who was not familiar with the world at the time, believed him to be true and regarded him as the legendary man "Uchiha Madara".

Looking at Sasuke who was a little confused, Itachi smiled weakly, but his eyes became sharper, piercing like a blade towards Sasuke who had not yet understood the situation.

"Okay, Sasuke, all the disruptive guys have disappeared. Now, it's time to decide the winner."

After saying that, orange-red fire waves suddenly surged around Itachi and rushed upward.

The huge skeleton instantly surrounded Itachi, and then, tempered by the waves of orange-red fire, the skeleton was immediately covered with substantial flesh and blood and meridians, making the orange-red figure surrounding Itachi's body even larger.

Seeing this scene, Sasuke's expression was slightly silent, and he subconsciously moved his steps back a little, hoping to give himself a sufficient sense of security.

That huge body, comparable to the size of a city fortress, stood majestically on the ground. It was wrapped in orange-red armor, and the outer shell was a torrent of flames like water, burning the air, causing the rainwater falling into the surroundings to evaporate directly and emerge from the layer. Layer of white steam.

Although he was only half a body and more than twenty meters away from Sasuke, the power that came towards him still made Sasuke's nerves begin to tense up, so he continued to slowly move backwards.

The orange-red giant holds a giant sword burning with the fire of the sun in his left hand, and in his right hand he holds a huge buckler of the same color as his body. The orange-red flames burn blazingly on the buckler, and can burn on the buckler. Among the orange-red flames, tiny traces of electric current were seen, slowly dissipating.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and stared at the orange-red giant that enveloped Itachi's body.

Although the colors are different, the pressure that makes the air thick and suffocating is unmistakable.

Susanoo!

And it is Susanoo who has evolved to the third stage and is armed with hard armor.

Judging from the combination of the giant sword and the buckler, the opponent's Susanoo is more capable of both offense and defense than the ordinary Susanoo.

But Sasuke was surprised by the powerful defense that could perfectly block the Thunder Release Kirin intensified by Senjutsu.

Standing among the orange-red giants, Itachi's body began to sway precariously as if it was overdrawn.

But he eventually stabilized, and after coughing twice, he looked at Sasuke, whose expression was getting increasingly ugly, with a weak smile.

He probably still can't understand why he could survive such a lightning escape technique intact.

"Looking at you, you must have seen something like this before. To be honest, that move you used before was very powerful. But, Sasuke, my Susanoo is a little different from ordinary Susanoo. In order to get this I spent a lot of effort on these two 'spiritual weapons'."

"Spirit...spirit weapon?"

Sasuke looked at the sword and shield in the orange-red giant's hand, as if it was the first time he heard such words, and he felt bad.

"Ah, that's right, the spiritual weapon 'Yata's Mirror' has the ability to change all properties and neutralize attacks based on attack attributes. Whether it's unfathomable magic or the panic-stricken thunder in the sky, All have their own properties that can be traced.”

As Itachi spoke eloquently, the expression on Sasuke's face became a little ugly again.

Although he knew the reason why Itachi blocked the Thunder Release Qilin, this also meant that his strongest attack was also ineffective against Itachi.

This is very bad news.

"Forcing me to use my last strength, this battle should almost come to an end."

After saying that, Itachi coughed twice again, and thick black circles formed around the corners of his eyes. A pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, which were originally scarlet and bright, were now even grayer than Sasuke's Sharingan.

Obviously, it is very difficult for him to use such a move, and it is not without burden.

Considering his own situation, Itachi quickly raised his blood-stained palm, and the orange giant's eyes lit up, emitting a heart-stopping bright golden light, shooting straight at Sasuke.

Without hesitation, the giant sword burning with golden flames in his left hand aimed at Sasuke and cut him down mercilessly.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The huge fire dragon, which only extended its head, immediately sprayed out from Sasuke's mouth. The surrounding rain evaporated, and it roared towards the falling golden sword.

No miracle happened. The fire dragon was split in half by the golden giant sword from head to tail.

boom!

The giant sword slashed down on the ground. The huge building that was originally struck by the lightning fell directly under the slash of the giant sword, causing a flat section like a cliff, and collapsed to the ground with a rumble.

The golden flames carried an impact and blew Sasuke's body away.

In this violent storm, mixed with a little golden light, Sasuke was like a fallen leaf blown by the strong wind. He allowed the violent hurricane to roll over more than ten meters on the ground, and only stopped when he hit a broken wall. Down.

"ah!"

Blood spurted out of Sasuke's mouth, and there was a shock on his back, as if his bones were about to be shattered. The pain hit him so hard that Sasuke couldn't help but groan.

No, the attack power of this sword is too strong, there is no way to fight head-on! This one attack almost shattered his bones, and if he had been hit head-on, even he would have been split in half.

Sasuke thought of this, and the only way to win was by wandering around the battlefield, taking advantage of Susanoo's shortcomings, and consuming Itachi's chakra.

Susanoo will eat a large amount of the user's chakra. This shortcoming can only be avoided by the more advanced Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Excessive use of the ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan will not only cause blindness, but also place a heavy burden on the practitioner's body.

Itachi's sickly body may have something to do with this.

Whether it is eye skills like Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi, or Susanoo, they are all gold swallowers who consume extremely much chakra.

Since it's not possible to attack from the front, we can only attack from the side, consuming Itachi's chakra and causing him to collapse under the weight.

This was not the first time he faced Susanoo head-on. Sasuke was confident that he could protect his own safety in the next fierce attack.

Thinking of this, Sasuke no longer uses ninjutsu, but attaches thunder escape to his legs, which increases the agility of his feet and greatly increases his movement speed, so as to better dodge Itachi's Susanoo. attack.

Sure enough, after the first sword passed, Itachi stepped on the ground, followed up, controlled the orange giant, and struck the second sword without hesitation.

The golden sword light swung down from the sky, drawing a beautiful golden crescent moon.

But in this beautiful sword light, there is a deadly murderous intention hidden.

laugh!

After Sasuke dodged, a corner of the building beneath his original location was cut off again, creating a terrifyingly huge cross-section. It fell with a rumble, kicking up mud and flying dust on the ground.

Even the giant tree between the building and the wall was cut in half, revealing a flat section.

Over the walls and buildings surrounded by the forest, the rain suddenly became heavier.

Between the wind, rain and lightning, and on the top of the ruins of the building, the orange-red giant stood tall, holding a golden giant sword, like an ancient demon god who commanded wind and rain. With one strike of the sword, it will split all obstacles in front of it. No matter how solid the object is, in its eyes, it will be as fragile as thin paper and will be broken into two pieces.

Under the dark sky, thunder was still cracking, and lightning flashed from time to time, dyeing the forest as pale as snow, as bright as day.

The rain continued to increase, bringing endless chills, and golden giant swords fell one after another, pulling out bright silver threads in the sky.

Finally, under the slashes of sword energy, the dilapidated building was finally overwhelmed and collapsed with a roar, revealing a huge crater that surrounded the orange-red giant.

Like bright thunder and lightning attached to Sasuke's legs, he rolled around awkwardly under the giant sword, dodged and moved, just to avoid the frontal attack of the giant sword as much as possible, in order to consume Itachi's few remaining energy. Chakra.

Seeing Itachi and the orange-red giant falling into the central hole of the building, Sasuke's heart could not relax for a moment before the golden sword energy came out again.

There is no need for any fancy ninjutsu. With just a few movements of his hands, he uses his golden giant sword to unleash a hurricane that destroys everything, flying away the buildings in front of him and blasting them towards the tall wall in the distance.

Click!

The thick wall could not withstand such an impact, and collided with countless flying stones. Finally, it cracked, made a loud roar, and collapsed.

Rain washed the earth and mud surged.

Against the background of shining thunder and lightning and violent wind and rain, Itachi swung his sword to kill again.

The impact caused by the sword light split the earth, repulsing the impact to both sides, and set off strong winds. Sasuke, who was unable to dodge, rolled continuously in the mud, fell into a ruins, and was crushed by large rocks.

boom!

The fire exploded, and Sasuke used his fire escape to blast away the large rocks that were pressing on him. More and more blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his face became even paler under the light of lightning.

His clothes were stained with blood and mud, and he looked in a miserable state.

Sasuke never expected that the stalemate with Itachi would reach this point.

Like Sasuke, Itachi also began to regulate the chakra chaos in his body.

Feeling the small amount of chakra in his body, Itachi knew that he had to make a quick decision and could not delay it any longer.

"Itachi, you don't have much chakra left."

Sasuke huffed and dressed roughly, showing a very forced smile.

His clothes and hair were soaked by the rain, and a chill came over him.

But the blood was still hot, and the fighting spirit in Sasuke was still boiling and had not dropped.

"Isn't it the same for you? Using Thunder Release to activate cells to that extent consumes a lot of chakra, plus the previous moves..."

Itachi didn't say everything, but the meaning was very clear, that is, there was also very little chakra left in Sasuke's body.

It is impossible to use a move like Thunder Release Qilin a second time.

His eyes were bleeding continuously, and his scarlet eyes were filled with ferocious bloodshot eyes, as if they might burst at any time.

"Then, the outcome depends on whether your attack can hit me and whether I can dodge the next sword."

Sasuke said this, also out of breath, his Sharingan eyes were bloodshot and there was a burning pain.

"That's exactly what I meant...ahem."

As Itachi coughed, red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The orange-red giant's eyes sparkled in the dark night, as if the darkness had been dispelled.

It put away the round shield in its right hand, changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding the sword with both hands, and firmly grasped the flaming hilt of the golden giant sword.

The oncoming sharp sword energy made Sasuke's feet move, making a rustling sound as they rubbed against the ground.

He raised the dynamic vision of the Sharingan to the maximum, stared at the golden giant sword in the orange-red giant's hand without blinking, and his whole person became quiet.

The sky was filled with black clouds, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, turning the night into day, bringing a chilling paleness and coldness.

At this moment, Sasuke and the orange-red giant started taking action simultaneously.

Thunder filled his body, feeling the chakra in his body that was almost bottoming out. Sasuke tried his best to jump back and move forward, in order to gain every minute and second to get out of the slashing range of the golden giant sword.

The golden giant sword in the hands of the orange-red giant swept out without any hindrance.

The ground shattered, buildings along the way were cut in half, triggering hurricane winds that blew away rocks and chopped trees.

Sasuke's mouth curled up. He saw that he was almost out of the sweep range of the golden giant sword. Before he could show his joy, the blade of the golden giant sword suddenly extended and lengthened until it was inserted into the solid stone of the distant wall before stopping. Come down.

When Sasuke saw this, his pupils suddenly shrank and his scalp exploded.

The terrifying sword energy continued to sweep across, rapidly magnifying in his eyes.

Boom!

Boom!

The tall wall made of solid stone, filled with thick dust, broke in the middle, collapsed and fell to the ground with a roar, exposing the black rain forest outside.

Among the ruins, there was a sound of coughing, a huge boulder was pushed away from below, and Sasuke tremblingly crawled out from under the rock.

Although his posture was awkward, his heart was still beating, letting Sasuke clearly know that he had escaped the sweeping attack of the giant sword at the critical moment.

So, he looked up at the orange-red giant in front of him, as if seeing Itachi's defeat, a smile appeared on his face.

However, when he looked up at the orange-red giant and locked onto Itachi's figure, there was nothing there.

Only the orange-red giant remained motionless in the same posture as after swinging the sword.

Oops!

Sasuke realized something was wrong until it was too late.

The sound of flying shurikens piercing the air clearly reached my ears.

"ah!"

He didn't have time to dodge, and his hands and legs were stabbed hard by the flying shuriken, piercing his flesh and biting his bones, making him groan.

A figure flashed forward, hooked the ring of kunai in his hand, and rotated it between his fingers. Then with a snap, he grasped the kunai and stabbed Sasuke's body fiercely.

Using his last breath of strength, Sasuke rolled out in a panic and quickly pulled out the shurikens from his hands and legs.

Ahead, Itachi stood in the icy rain, holding a kunai in his hand and walking slowly towards him.

Sasuke squinted his eyes, pursed his pale lips, and let the rain fall down his cheeks. His expression remained unchanged. He was still thinking calmly, not panicking, and moved back slowly.

The arms and thighs were still bleeding, staining his shirt and trousers red, mixed with the mud on the ground, and flowed freely.

Itachi's footsteps became faster and faster, and the more he walked, the faster he walked, and finally turned into a sprint as fast as lightning. All the strength in his body was concentrated and exploded, pouring victory into the small kunai in his hand.

The two figures passed each other.

Poof!

The silver blade pierced the chest and came into view. Itachi coughed out blood in pain and recognized it as Sasuke's Kusanagi sword.

He turned his eyes with difficulty and saw a purple skeleton that could only surround Sasuke's body appearing behind him.

The kunai stabbed into the bones, unable to break through.

"Why...you still have chakra...and my shuriken should have made your limbs slow..."

Itachi staggered forward two steps and fell to his knees. The tie holding his hair fell apart, and his long hair stuck to his cheeks, and the coldness hit him.

Sasuke wiped his sleeves expressionlessly. There was a piece of talisman paper with the word 'medicine' engraved on his arm. He tore it off casually and threw it on the muddy ground.

"These are medical talismans produced by the Kingdom of Ghosts. I put these on various parts of my body in advance. In addition to healing wounds, these talismans can also restore a small amount of the user's chakra... I thought I wouldn't need these. Small tricks.”

Itachi's expression suddenly dawned on him, and with a pop, he fell to the ground exhausted.

Sasuke scattered the purple bones behind him, which were part of Susanoo.

He glanced sideways at Itachi, who was lying on the ground, unable to fight anymore. A smile suddenly appeared on his originally expressionless face, and this smile continued to expand.

Finally, his shoulders began to shake uncontrollably.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

As if to vent all the grievances and high pressure over the years, he stood in the rain, looked up to the sky and started laughing wildly.

The laughter spread far and wide, and the smile on his face became more wanton and careless, with a kind of madness that could not be ignored.

The red faded from his eyes and turned into black and white.

Perhaps due to lack of energy, after laughing for a while, Sasuke's laughter began to decrease.

He looked up at the dark and deep sky, letting the cold rain hit his face, and breathed through his mouth.

"I won……"

There was no joy or sadness, he just said this lightly, stating such facts, with a complicated look in his eyes, Sasuke fell back.
