Chapter 63 Kakashi VS Uchiha Itachi
Chapter 63 Kakashi VS Uchiha Itachi
Under the pitch-black night, Itachi Uchiha slowly walked towards the village that was once so familiar but was now engulfed in flames.
Just as he was about to step into the village, several figures swiftly appeared and blocked his way.
"Uchiha Itachi!"
A Konoha ninja, his face filled with hostility and disgust, almost growled his name through gritted teeth.
Uchiha Itachi stopped and silently stared at the hostile ninjas before him.
He could clearly sense that these people's feelings towards him had long surpassed simple fear and hatred, and these feelings had become increasingly intense since Uchiha Abyss unleashed the cataclysmic disaster.
In their view, if Itachi hadn't personally slaughtered the Uchiha clan, perhaps such a terrifying monster as Uchiha Awakening wouldn't have been born, and the current apocalyptic catastrophe wouldn't have occurred.
Thinking of this, their deep-seated disgust and hatred for Itachi burned like a raging fire.
Itachi's face remained calm and unmoved by the hostility of these ninjas.
In the next instant, his figure suddenly transformed into a black shadow, swiftly passing by everyone at an almost imperceptible speed.
With a slight whistling sound, the intercepting ninjas immediately collapsed to the ground, unconscious and powerless to resist.
Itachi's expression remained unchanged as he continued walking forward.
Just then, a figure with silver hair slowly appeared in front of him.
"Uchiha Itachi, what are you doing in the village?"
Kakashi's tone was clearly wary and hostile, obviously filled with suspicion at Itachi's appearance.
"Kakashi-senpai..."
Itachi spoke slowly, his gaze calm and steady as he looked at the other person...
"I want to see the Hokage."
Kakashi's gaze darkened upon hearing this, and he retorted with a hint of sarcasm, "Which Hokage do you wish to see?"
This sudden question startled Itachi for a moment.
He hadn't expected Kakashi to respond in this way, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.
In the brief moment that Itachi was distracted, Kakashi moved swiftly, his figure flashing like lightning as he attacked, his kunai aimed directly at Itachi's vitals.
Itachi reacted quickly, his kunai shooting out as well. The two kunai clashed in mid-air, sparks flying everywhere, and a crisp metallic clang echoed through the night sky.
The intense impact forced Kakashi to retreat several steps quickly, and Itachi's figure also paused slightly.
The two sides temporarily separated by some distance.
Itachi frowned slightly, his expression showing seriousness and doubt. He said softly, "Kakashi-senpai, has a new Hokage appeared in the village yet?"
Kakashi replied coldly and expressionlessly, "I don't need to answer your question."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi quickly formed hand seals, and the air suddenly condensed into damp moisture, which in a moment turned into fine rain, like a mist, slowly enveloping the entire battlefield.
Water Release: Azure Rain!
Raindrops, carrying a sharp killing intent, enveloped Uchiha Itachi like countless silver needles, instantly blocking all his escape routes.
Itachi quickly spread his arms, and suddenly countless black crows swarmed around him, forming a dense black barrier that firmly protected him in the center, resisting the onslaught of the dense rain.
Black crows and water-style ninjutsu clashed and intertwined in mid-air, producing a series of low, muffled sounds, creating an extremely eerie and thrilling scene.
Itachi looked at Kakashi with a solemn expression, his voice tinged with helplessness and heaviness: "I don't want to fight you, Kakashi-senpai."
Kakashi frowned upon hearing this: "Why should I believe you? Besides, hasn't your Sharingan been corrupted as well...?"
Itachi remained silent. He knew very well that Konoha was no longer a place for him to belong.
The cataclysmic destruction caused by Uchiha Abyss brought the hatred for the Uchiha clan to an unprecedented level.
No matter how I explain, it's all in vain.
Fine raindrops intertwine and collide with black crows, blurring the lines between illusion and reality.
At that moment, Itachi Uchiha's figure suddenly turned into a blurry afterimage, and in an instant, he had already circled behind Kakashi.
Itachi's eyes widened suddenly, and the crimson light of his Mangekyou Sharingan burst forth, his powerful eye energy sweeping towards Kakashi.
In truth, Itachi Uchiha harbored deep anxieties and suspicions...
Captain Kakashi himself also possesses the Sharingan, which means he was very likely infected by Uchiha Abe's strange power.
Therefore, Itachi must confirm this himself before deciding on the next course of action.
In an instant, Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan locked onto Kakashi, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly as Kakashi was trapped in Itachi's Tsukuyomi world.
In this illusory and eerie space, Itachi Uchiha's figure transformed into countless black crows, which landed on the ground.
By using the power of Tsukuyomi, one can read Kakashi's deepest thoughts and thus determine whether he has been infected by Uchiha Abyss.
However, to Itachi's surprise, Kakashi remained calm and showed no fear or panic whatsoever.
The next instant, Kakashi actually raised his head!
The Sharingan that had been covered suddenly opened and met Itachi's eyes head-on without hesitation!
"Have you observed enough?"
Kakashi's voice was indifferent, as if he were completely unaffected by the Tsukuyomi world.
This cold and brief question is like a sharp blade!
It instantly tore apart Itachi's mental space, and the Tsukuyomi world shattered into countless fragments!
We've returned to reality.
Blood trickled from the corner of Itachi's eye; his complexion looked rather pale...
But then Kakashi slowly raised his hand...
Sensing Kakashi's intentions...
Itachi's pupils contracted slightly. Without saying a word, he swiftly launched dozens of kunai, which rained down on Kakashi.
Same action...
They also unleashed a large number of kunai to counterattack.
The kunai thrown by the two collided repeatedly in mid-air, producing crisp and dense sounds, and sparks flew everywhere, creating an exceptionally gorgeous and thrilling scene.
In this fierce battle, both sides dodged and weaved, displaying extremely superb and gorgeous martial arts skills, and for a time it was difficult to determine who was better.
now...
Kakashi crossed his palms, and the wind-style chakra surging within them quickly condensed into the water vapor permeating the rain, forming a vast and powerful vortex of water that seemed to possess a life of its own, swiftly sweeping towards Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi's expression hardened, and without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful fireball!
The scorching flames instantly expanded, attempting to engulf the swirling water before them.
Just as the Fireball and the Water Whirlpool were about to collide, Kakashi swiftly formed hand seals, his Wind Release techniques suddenly intensified, and at the same time, he gathered even more powerful Fire Release chakra in his mouth.
In an instant, wind and fire merged together, transforming strangely in the air to form a giant fire moth!
The moth was engulfed in flames, its wings vibrating as it slowly flapped...
The eerie sound, seemingly a whisper, sent chills down one's spine.
It seems to possess a captivating charm that draws people in.
The firelight was intense and alluring.
As the fire moth appeared, a portion of Kakashi's hidden Dry Wood Release technique began to activate dramatically...
The cells begin to activate rapidly...
The fire moth flapped its wings and swept out with unstoppable force, instantly engulfing Itachi's Fireball Jutsu, and then pounced straight at him.
In the blink of an eye, Itachi Uchiha's red cloud-patterned black robe was engulfed by flames...
Itachi Uchiha, having removed his Akatsuki robes, wore a solemn expression.
Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, a figure emerged from the shadows – it was none other than the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Kakashi... Itachi Uchiha...
Both of them possess the Sharingan, but were they both corrupted, or is it only Kakashi?
Was this battle a performance for Konoha's benefit?
However, seeing Itachi Uchiha awkwardly removing his Akatsuki uniform...
Tobirama spoke up, "Stop..."
