At the same time, he formed the exact same hand seals, and almost simultaneously took a deep breath and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"boom--!!"
Another massive, blazing fireball crashed head-on into the first one, colliding violently with it and unleashing a deafening roar.
The two fireballs collided fiercely, sparks flying everywhere, and scorching waves of air swept outwards from the point of impact.
The intense heat in the air caused the surrounding leaves to curl silently, and the temperature in the forest suddenly soared!
Sasuke's body was half-reddened by the firelight, and he instinctively raised his arm to shield his face, his breath filled with scorching heat.
In just over a second, Sasuke noticed that the fireball on his left suddenly became brighter.
Sure enough, with a muffled thud, Dream Itachi's Fireball Jutsu pushed the opponent's fireball backward with overwhelming force!
A massive torrent of flames, carrying two streams of fire-style power, transformed into an even larger wave of fire that relentlessly engulfed Itachi.
The wave of fire instantly engulfed him, and for the first time, a hint of surprise flashed in Itachi's eyes.
He clearly hadn't expected to be at a disadvantage in his specialty, Fire Release!
After a brief moment of astonishment, he didn't have time to form the hand seals for his escape technique, so he could only leap backward quickly.
However, this moment of hesitation cost him the initiative.
"Boom!!" A towering wave of fire crashed down, instantly engulfing Itachi's figure in reality.
Flames shot into the sky, and sparks flew everywhere like a dazzling rain, falling from the sky and scattering across the entire forest.
The dry grass on the ground was ignited by the flames, and flames rose up, turning the surroundings into a bright red.
"Nissan! Well done!"
Upon seeing this, Sasuke couldn't help but cheer excitedly, his face filled with excitement and a sense of triumph.
The scene of the fireballs exchanging fire just now was truly exhilarating! Nissan's flames completely suppressed that hateful imposter!
Sasuke felt a surge of excitement; that fake was no match for his brother!
[Ding! Sasuke's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
In stark contrast to Sasuke's jubilation, Dream Itachi showed no sign of letting up.
His expression remained solemn as he stared intently at the raging inferno ahead, the tomoe in his Sharingan eyes swirling.
An attack of that magnitude could never possibly defeat the counterfeit.
Sure enough, through the flickering flames, he could vaguely see a dark shadow standing motionless in the center of the fire.
"It's not over yet..."
The dream weasel muttered to itself, a bead of sweat trickling down its cheek from its forehead.
But the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.
The dark figure that was seen through the firelight just now has undergone an extremely strange change!
That's definitely not the form that an ordinary human should have!
The burning flames gradually dissipated in the air, revealing their true form.
In reality, the weasel still stood proudly in the same spot, seemingly unharmed.
However, at this moment, his appearance was extremely terrifying.
On either side of his neck, eight eerie, pale white objects, resembling sharp spikes, slowly extended out, looking like some kind of twisted white limbs!
His upper body clothing was also charred and torn by the flames, and what was exposed in the torn areas was not skin, but a kind of pale, strange tissue.
The surface is covered with textures similar to tree rings.
"White Zetsu!?"
Dream Itachi gasped in disbelief, his Sharingan widening in astonishment.
He wasn't mistaken, he couldn't possibly be wrong.
He and Shisui-san had been investigating this strange, pale organization for a long time and knew it by heart!
This scene clearly resembles the characteristics of the legendary White Zetsu.
Could it be that the guy in front of me, who is wearing the appearance of Uchiha Itachi, is actually a White Zetsu in disguise?
But, how is this possible? !
Countless thoughts flashed through Dream Weasel's mind in an instant.
According to the information he and Shisui-san possessed, White Zetsu is indeed skilled in shapeshifting and stealth, and can disguise himself as others.
But White Zetsu could never replicate it so perfectly and unleash strength comparable to his own.
But the facts before him now make it impossible for him to deny them.
Whether it's the Sharingan or the fighting power, the opponent is almost equal to him!
What kind of monster is this? !
From behind the tree, Sasuke also witnessed this terrifying scene.
He seemed to freeze, his eyes wide open, his face drained of color from shock.
"This...this is the real face of that fake product?!"
Sasuke's voice trembled slightly.
It turns out that the culprit who killed Nisan and slaughtered his entire clan was actually such a grotesque and inhuman creature!
At that moment, shock, anger, hatred, fear... all sorts of emotions were churning wildly in Sasuke's chest. His spine went cold and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Amidst the embers of the fire, Itachi, now in his fused White Zetsu form, looked down at himself and frowned slightly.
This powerful fireball unexpectedly canceled his transformation technique, revealing his true form fused with White Zetsu.
Seeing the shocked expressions on Itachi and Sasuke's faces in the dream, a hint of impatience and gloom flashed in Itachi's eyes in the real world.
He was filled with rage.
That last move actually made me look bad in front of Sasuke!
"Hmph..." Itachi snorted softly, his Sharingan eyes blazing with killing intent.
He stared intently at the wary Dream Weasel ahead, his chest heaving as if suppressing the raging anger churning within him.
Unexpectedly, this fake is actually quite skilled. In the fire-style exchange just now, I was actually slightly inferior!
What's even more infuriating is that this happened right under Sasuke's nose.
But... this is for the best!
His eyes instantly became even more cruel and resolute.
This is a perfect opportunity for Sasuke to witness firsthand how his beloved brother, whom he has always admired, was completely crushed and destroyed by this bizarre and ugly monster form!
Only such painful blows and despair can become nourishment for Sasuke's growth!
In reality, Itachi suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“A fake is a fake.” His voice was hoarse, and his first words were chilling, devoid of any emotion. “No matter how well it imitates… it’s still just my shadow!”
Before he finished speaking, the three tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly.
In an instant, the magatama connected into lines, slowly condensing into a strange, scarlet pattern.
The symbol of Itachi Uchiha's strongest eye power—the Mangekyou Sharingan!
In reality, Itachi's eyes suddenly widened, and his scarlet pupils emitted a chilling light.
A terrifying power of vision instantly swept outwards from him, and the surrounding air began to tremble and shake like the Eiffel Tower under high temperature.
Dream Weasel felt a sudden tightness in his chest, a strong sense of danger making his hair stand on end.
Mangekyō Sharingan!
The other party even knew this?!
.........
The outskirts of the Death Forest.
Kakashi's figure darted swiftly through the dense forest, leaving behind a trail of falling leaves.
He had previously witnessed Itachi in his dream running wildly out of the Uchiha clan's territory from afar, and guessed that something must have happened, so he followed him all the way here.
At this moment, he hurriedly followed the subtle traces left by the dream weasel in the forest.
Suddenly, a strong chakra fluctuation came from afar, followed by a loud bang that ripped through the sky and startled countless birds.
Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickened his pace: "Found it!"
He moved swiftly and silently, leaping onto a thick branch of a towering tree, disappearing into the dense foliage as he cautiously peered down.
The sight before him made Kakashi gasp, and his one exposed eye widened in shock.
"this……?!"
Below, in a clearing in the forest, two identical Itachi Uchiha were facing off in battle!
One of them looked exactly like Itachi Uchiha, while the other... also looked like Itachi, but his appearance was extremely strange.
The white spikes extending from its neck were particularly conspicuous in the moonlight, and what was revealed beneath the charred and tattered red cloud robe was a pale and strange half-plant body!
Kakashi felt a buzzing in his head and couldn't believe his eyes.
"What's up with that Itachi over there? And how did these two Itachis... end up facing each other!?"
He frowned deeply, filled with doubt.
He had a lot of information about Itachi Uchiha.
This was the first time Kakashi had ever seen Itachi like this in real life.
The two itachi below were locked in a tense battle, which could erupt again at any moment.
Kakashi suppressed his shock and forced himself to analyze the situation calmly.
His gaze swept quickly around, and suddenly he spotted half of a small face anxiously looking around behind a big tree.
"Sasuke?!"
