Chapter 336 Sasuke and Itachi
Chapter 336 Sasuke and Itachi
The Namaka River is a large river that runs through Konoha.
This river has witnessed far too many things.
During his childhood, Hashirama Senju met Madara Uchiha.
The first ninja village was established here when Konoha was founded.
On the eve of the massacre, the Uchiha clan's genius fell into the river here and met Chiba Tetsuya.
And now, it is about to witness another major event.
The Nakagawa Shrine was once the location where the Uchiha clan held secret gatherings.
However, with the destruction of the Uchiha clan, this place was abandoned.
Beneath the temple lies a hidden basement.
Uchiha Sasuke, dressed in white, sat on a stone chair in the basement. Beside the chair was a long sword, the Kusanagi sword.
After learning that Sasuke was about to have a life-or-death battle with Itachi Uchiha, Orochimaru took a train to the Land of Grass and handed over his Kusanagi sword to Sasuke.
He had originally given Sasuke quite a few things, but Sasuke refused them, only accepting the Kusanagi sword, which was more convenient to use.
Right behind Sasuke, hanging on the wall, was the Uchiha clan crest.
"Uchiha Itachi, you've finally arrived."
Sasuke, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them. His scarlet pupils gleamed with a dark light from the three tomoe.
A figure appeared at the entrance.
He wore the standard Akatsuki black robe with red clouds, and a Konoha headband with a scratch on it.
Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke sitting on the stone chair, and for a moment he was in a daze.
He hadn't seen Sasuke for many years. He hadn't seen Sasuke since the night of the massacre of his clan and his battle with Shisui.
I initially thought Sasuke had been killed by the enraged Shisui, but upon closer reflection, I realized that Shisui wouldn't be that kind of person.
Sasuke must have been hidden away by Shisui.
Although all of this was out of his control, it didn't matter.
Now that I've met him, he'll be able to correct all of this.
However, before Itachi could speak, Sasuke spoke first.
"Uchiha Itachi, people online say you rely too much on the Sharingan, and now your eyes and your body are not as good as before."
So, how far can your Sharingan see now?
Upon hearing this, Itachi paused. Wasn't this what he was going to say? Why did Sasuke say it first?
However, Itachi remained calm as he walked into the hall.
"How far can my eyes see? The farthest my eyes can see is the sight of you when you are dead."
A slight smile appeared on Itachi Uchiha's lips.
"Huh? What I look like when I die? Well then..."
The next moment, Sasuke's voice rang out behind Itachi Uchiha, the two brothers back to back.
"Show me what you've done!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke's long sword also fell to the ground.
"Cough!"
Itachi Uchiha turned around in time and drew a kunai to block Sasuke's blade.
"Not bad, the speed is good, but it's still a bit lacking."
Sasuke didn't speak, but simply turned his blade, the gleaming longsword as agile as a cunning viper, flicking and twisting.
The kunai circled around Itachi and went straight for his wrist.
Itachi hurriedly released the kunai; if he had been even a fraction slower, the tendons in his right hand would have been severed by the longsword.
Before the kunai could fall to the ground, the weasel kicked it with its toe.
The falling kunai shot straight towards Sasuke's eyes.
"choke!"
Sasuke quickly sheathed his sword to block the kunai aimed at his eyes.
The Kusanagi sword gleamed with a cold light, its slender blade obscuring one of Sasuke's eyes. At the same time, an eye was reflected in the mirror-like surface of the sword—Itachi's eye.
With a flash of cold light, Itachi's eyes transformed back into Sasuke's, and the gleaming blade thrust towards Itachi.
The weasel did not dodge, but charged straight at them.
"Hiss~!"
The blade pierced Itachi's body, but the next moment, Itachi's body transformed into a sky full of black crow feathers.
Itachi reappeared, grabbed Sasuke's right hand, stepped on the sword, and then kicked upwards, mercilessly stomping on Sasuke's face, knocking him back.
Sasuke steadied himself, turned around, and used the momentum to slash back with his sword.
Seeing the blade heading straight for Itachi's throat, Itachi used the Body Flicker Technique, passing through the blade and arriving above Sasuke.
He grabbed Sasuke by the back of his clothes, intending to use the momentum of his fall to throw Sasuke away.
However, something unexpected happened to Itachi.
Sasuke slipped out of his white coat as if shedding his skin, grabbed the sleeve, and locked Itachi's arm in place.
With a sudden tug, Itachi in mid-air was pulled directly towards Sasuke by a tremendous force.
"Thump!"
Then a punch was thrown, landing squarely on Itachi's face.
After landing smoothly, Itachi took two steps back, rubbed his face, and looked at Sasuke.
Despite taking a punch, his gaze towards Sasuke was much more satisfied.
But remaining vigilant, Itachi quickly formed hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Fireball!
Fire Release: Great Fireball!
The two fireballs collided, instantly illuminating the entire secret chamber.
The flames subsided, and Sasuke had completed the hand seals.
"Chidori!"
Instantly, lightning burst forth on Sasuke's right hand, the thunder humming like the cries of a thousand birds.
"Chidori Stream!"
Sasuke pressed his right hand directly onto the ground.
Suddenly, a violent thunderclap spread outwards from Sasuke in all directions, while also sweeping towards Itachi.
Seeing the fierce lightning rushing towards him from the ground, Itachi chose a simple and straightforward way to dodge.
With a sudden burst of strength from his feet, he leaped into the air.
"hehe!"
A cold laugh rang out.
Itachi looked up and realized that Sasuke was hanging upside down on the roof at some point, and the next moment he was charging straight at him.
"Pfft!"
The Kusanagi sword pierced Itachi's chest, pinning him to the ground.
The weasel, pinned to the ground, sighed listlessly, its eyes vacant.
"Sasuke, you've gotten stronger!"
Finally, I have a question for you.
Itachi didn't answer, but instead raised his hand.
Looking at Itachi's raised hand, Sasuke recalled his childhood, when Itachi would reach out and gently tap his forehead when he was naughty or unruly.
However, instead of pointing like he did when he was a child, Itachi pointed to one side.
The direction he was pointing was the very spot where Sasuke had been sitting at the beginning.
However, at this moment, sitting on top is Uchiha Itachi.
As it remained on guard, Itachi Uchiha, pinned to the ground, spat out a crow. The next moment, Itachi's entire body shattered, transforming into a sky full of crows.
"Illusion? It's just one of your favorite little tricks."
Itachi sat down in the spot where Sasuke had been sitting and spoke.
"Although this isn't the last question, feel free to ask whatever you want. I'll allow you to ask me this question."
I'll say it again...
"Pfft~!"
A gleaming longsword pierced through Itachi's body from behind.
Sasuke appeared behind the stone chair.
"I'll ask you one last question."
