Whoosh
However, perhaps because future Sasuke had deliberately slowed his attack, this timeline's Sasuke still barely managed to leap into the air before Susanoo's skeletal fist smashed him down.
What this timeline's Sasuke had not expected, though, was that even after dodging the first strike, future Sasuke's follow-up attack was not over.
Future Sasuke had done this because he hoped his past self would suffer lighter injuries.
At that moment, a black shadow continued descending toward this timeline's Sasuke from the side.
With no foothold in midair, this timeline's Sasuke could only take the blow head-on.
Besides, the second attack came far too quickly for him to react.
Bang
The black shadow struck this timeline's Sasuke solidly.
Boom
Splash~
Without surprise, this timeline's Sasuke was smashed into the nearby stream by that black shadow.
Glug glug glug~
Yet amid the churning water, this timeline's Sasuke quickly burst out of the stream.
Although this timeline's Sasuke was soaked from head to toe and did not seem seriously injured, he still looked rather bedraggled.
The stream's presence had reduced the impact he suffered.
Otherwise, that blow would have at least rattled his internal organs.
Huff, huff~
After leaping out of the stream and planting both feet on solid ground, this timeline's Sasuke took several deep breaths.
When this timeline's Sasuke looked toward that black shadow again, he saw that it was another skeletal arm of Susanoo.
So future Sasuke's first wave of attacks had merely been a feint, while the second wave was the real attack!
But it had been so fast that this timeline's Sasuke had failed to react.
After taking that blow, this timeline's Sasuke's expression darkened somewhat.
Naturally, he no longer dared to underestimate his opponent.
After all, this clansman calling himself "Uchiha Shin" also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan!
