Violent energy slammed fiercely into Itachi's body.
Bang...
With a loud crash, Itachi was sent flying backward and smashed into the ground, skidding along it for some distance. He sprang back up, bracing himself with both hands on the ground, his head lowered as blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

It lasted only an instant before Itachi's eyes became resolute once more. He gripped his Kunai tightly in both hands and charged toward Sasuke as well.

This was a contest of Taijutsu and swordsmanship!
Clang, clang, clang...
Neither of them held back. Every strike targeted
