"Wind Blade."
An invisible blade of wind sliced across his cheek, scattering a spray of blood-red petals. Then a fierce sweep slammed into Sora Uchiha's chest.
His blood churned, and he felt his internal organs shudder. The taste of iron spread across his tongue.
As expected of a Jonin. He was incredibly powerful.
Using the force of the blow, Sora Uchiha managed to put some distance between them. He threw a shuriken, but Baki dodged it with ease. Even when Sora used Chakra Threads to make the shuriken loop around for a second attack, Baki dodged it all the same.
The gap between them was obvious. Just as Baki had said, he was outclassed in every way. How was he supposed to fight him?
The only reason he had held on this long was that he'd been using all kinds of scrolls to keep Baki at bay. Otherwise, Baki would have already cut him down.
Kazuki Utsuki was unconscious on his back. If he didn't get timely treatment, his life might be in danger. But if Sora wanted to return to Konoha, there was no way around Baki.
It seemed he was trapped in a dead end.
Sora Uchiha instinctively touched his eyes. In this situation, even Uchiha's Glory might not be enough to turn things around. So... should he use Karasu Tengu?
Without the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, using Karasu Tengu one more time in his current condition would leave him blind.
Was it worth it?
It wasn't.
His life didn't belong to Sora Uchiha alone. It also belonged to the Uchiha Clan. He carried the burden of restoring the Uchiha and the will to unite the Shinobi World on his shoulders.
If he lost his eyesight, his grand ambition would become all but impossible to achieve.
It wasn't worth
