"What'd you have to drink to get this wasted?"
As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, a teasing voice sounded beside his ear.
Only then did he realize that his Kusanagi Sword had met no resistance at all!
The Jin before him was like a bubble in the sunlight, popping at the slightest touch...
Well, when the sword tip poked him, he wobbled and shattered outright.
An afterimage!
Had his real second brother already slipped up beside him?
Behind him!
His long-honed battle instincts made Sasuke swing his sword backward without turning, slashing behind him.
Zzzzt!
Lightning flickered as the blade cut through empty air once more.
He'd missed again.
But Sasuke didn't care in the slightest. The corner of his mouth slowly curled into a smile. "As expected of you, second brother. You're fast."
"But that just makes things more interesting!"
He murmured, never pausing his movements.
Above!
Left!
Right!
His figure blurred through the drizzle, turning into streaks of lightning as he slashed out a vast web of blue-white lightning blades!
Crackle!
At one point, the blade storm tore through the curtain of rain and slammed into the ground!
It carved a deep, charred trench into the already scorched earth around the battlefield!
But!
He'd missed.
That deadly slash had missed once again.
Or rather, every lethal strike could only just pierce a sunlit afterimage with a slightly chubby, smiling face, slowly fading in the rain.
"Wait! This is—"
At last, Sasuke sensed something was wrong. He stopped his blade and stood still.
His left Rinnegan whirled as it searched frantically for Jin's real body. "You're using Shisui's Body Flicker Technique?!"
After ten minutes of relentlessly chasing, slashing, and attacking, he finally recognized what felt so familiar about the technique!
Wasn't this the other genius of the Uchiha Clan
