In the instant Boruto Uzumaki was distracted, Uchiha Itachi struck with ghostly speed, delivering a powerful kick to him!
"Ugh!" With a scream, Boruto Uzumaki was kicked away like a kite with a broken string.
However, this was just the beginning. Two Uchiha Itachi appeared from the left and right sides like ghosts, clamping down on Boruto Uzumaki like pincers!
Boruto Uzumaki struggled desperately, trying to break free from Uchiha Itachi's restraints, but the two clones were like two mountains, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge them an inch.
Just as he struggled to lift his head, he saw that gloomy face that seemed to drip water— Uchiha Itachi was walking towards him step by step.
Before Boruto Uzumaki could react, Uchiha Itachi was already in front of him, and then, without warning, his fist slammed into Boruto Uzumaki like a cannonball!
"Pfft!" Boruto Uzumaki felt as if his internal organs had been shattered. A sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You..." Boruto Uzumaki stared at Uchiha Itachi in astonishment. He never imagined that this person he called his senior would attack him so severely!
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly, thinking to himself: Is this all the Kekkei Genkai this kid is capable of? If that's the case, then he's far too weak!
Just as Uchiha Itachi was about to make another move, Boruto Uzumaki's lips suddenly curled up slightly, revealing an enigmatic smile.
Uchiha Itachi's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition welled up in his mind.
His gaze quickly fell on Boruto Uzumaki's left hand, and sure enough, he saw a faint trace of chakra flowing there.
However, when Uchiha Itachi looked closer, he found there was nothing there!
Nevertheless, his years of combat experience told him that danger was imminent. He made a decisive move and immediately unleashed his signature technique— the Crow Clone Technique!
Where three Uchiha Itachi had been standing, a flock of black crows suddenly took their place.
The crows flew in in droves, forming a black curtain that obscured the entire space.
As Uchiha Itachi's figure gradually became clearer among the crows, his gaze fell directly on Boruto Uzumaki.
Boruto Uzumaki felt Uchiha Itachi's gaze, and a surge of anger welled up within him. He roared and thrust both hands forward with fury.
As Boruto Uzumaki moved, a powerful force erupted from his hands.
This force, like a whirlwind, swept over the surrounding crows, crushing them one by one.
The crow's feathers scattered everywhere, as if a black snow had fallen.
Uchiha Itachi calmly observed the scene, his gaze fixed on the strangely dead crows and the posture of Boruto Uzumaki's two hands.
After much deliberation, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered some important clue.
"This is Rasengan, but an invisible Rasengan!" Uchiha Itachi's voice stood out clearly in the noisy environment.
Upon hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Boruto Uzumaki's pupils constricted sharply.
He never expected that, after just watching him perform a single ninjutsu, Uchiha Itachi would be able to analyze the principles behind it so quickly.
This powerful analytical ability reminded Boruto Uzumaki of his uncle Nara Shikamaru.
Uncle Nara Shikamaru is renowned for his exceptional intelligence and analytical skills, but even he might not be able to grasp the secrets of this ninjutsu in such a short time.
Meanwhile, Nara Shikamaru is handling matters related to establishing diplomatic relations with foreign countries.
He was concentrating on thinking about various plans and strategies when suddenly, without warning, he sneezed.
"Achoo!" Nara Shikamaru rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "Who's insulting me?"
The next moment, Uchiha Itachi's five Shadow Clone attacked simultaneously like ghosts. Their figures were elusive and their movements were incredibly swift. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Boruto Uzumaki.
Uchiha Itachi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. He formed hand Hand Seals and unleashed the Phantom Body Flicker Technique.
His figure instantly became blurry, flickering in place like a phantom, making it difficult to pinpoint his true location.
Boruto Uzumaki was secretly alarmed upon seeing this, but he did not panic. He calmly observed Uchiha Itachi's movements, searching for his opponent's weakness.
However, to Uchiha Itachi's surprise, no matter how fast he attacked, Boruto Uzumaki always managed to dodge with an extremely tricky angle.
His movements were light and agile, as if he could predict the direction of Uchiha Itachi's attacks.
Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but ponder, what could be the reason for this? Could it be because of those eyes? He stared intently into Boruto Uzumaki's eyes, trying to find some clues.
Boruto Uzumaki's expression darkened slightly, and he inwardly groaned.
He knew the gap in strength between himself and Uchiha Itachi was too great; if they were to fight head-on, he would have absolutely no chance of winning. Therefore, he could only adopt delaying tactics, trying to deplete Uchiha Itachi's chakra as much as possible.
Once Uchiha Itachi's chakra is exhausted, then I will have a chance to defeat him.
Boruto Uzumaki kept a close eye on Uchiha Itachi, not daring to relax for a moment.
Fighting a formidable foe like Uchiha Itachi, Boruto Uzumaki knew that he was no match for him in terms of strength, speed, or awareness.
With his current strength, defeating Uchiha Itachi would be harder than climbing to heaven.
However, he was unwilling to admit defeat so easily, so he decided to use his last resort—the tactic of stalling!
Uchiha Itachi seemed to have seen through Boruto Uzumaki's thoughts. He suddenly stopped attacking, and the smile on his lips became even more pronounced.
"I lost!" Uchiha Itachi said slowly, his voice calm yet firm.
These words Boruto Uzumaki like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned.
He stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Itachi with disbelief, then frowned and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that? Your chakra isn't exhausted yet!"
"This is just a contest. Since I know I can't hit you and will eventually be worn down by you, I might as well admit defeat. Of course, you don't need to think you're cheating. This is your ability. When facing an enemy, it's not surprising to use any means necessary." After saying that, Uchiha Itachi formed Hand Seals.
The next moment, all five Uchiha Itachi turned into white smoke. Itachi, who was taking Sasuke Uchiha, was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"This kid does have some skills," Uchiha Itachi said, looking at Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke Uchiha was still unconscious and couldn't hear Uchiha Itachi's words. Uchiha Itachi tucked him in, then got up and left.
That kid must have won, and he'll probably come looking for me. No matter how he won, since he won, I should keep my promise and spar with him.
Just as Uchiha Itachi had predicted, Boruto Uzumaki Uchiha Itachi, but he had no fighting spirit at the moment, because he understood from the previous Boruto Uzumaki.
Even fighting a Shadow Clone of Uchiha Itachi, he had to use the Jōgan to barely avoid defeat. Just how strong must Uchiha Itachi's original body be at this moment?
Furthermore, Uchiha Itachi's eyes are clearly those of the Mangekyō Sharingan Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan known as the third power.
He had seen the Mangekyō Sharingan before. Back when he fought the Otsutsuki, his teacher Sasuke Uchiha, summoned a purple Gundam, which directly changed the course of the battle.
As his disciple, it was from that moment that he began to understand and study the Sharingan, although at that time there were very few Sharingan in Konoha.
The Seventh Hokage wasn't Danzo (in the original story) who would collect an armful of Sharingan, so Boruto Uzumaki's understanding of the Sharingan is limited.
Today, he understood just how powerful the Sharingan truly was!
"Still want to fight?" Uchiha Itachi smiled at Boruto Uzumaki, Boruto Uzumaki shook his head. "No, I can't win."
Then he went inside to continue taking care of Sasuke Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi smiled and shook his head.
The next moment, Boruto Uzumaki suddenly shouted, "Master, you're awake!"
Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted, and he used the Body Flicker Technique to arrive at Sasuke's bedside with lightning speed.
"Sasuke, how are you feeling now?" Uchiha Itachi asked seriously.
Although they belong to different time periods and have completely different experiences, the same bloodline and the same parents make Uchiha Itachi worry about this future Sasuke Uchiha.
"Big brother, where am I? I remember being in Konoha, fighting Otsutsuki Momoshiki." Sasuke Uchiha a warmth in his heart the moment he saw his older brother.
Uchiha Itachi frowned. "Otsutsuki Momoshiki? Who is that?" However, to avoid attracting Sasuke Uchiha's attention, he only answered the first part of the question.
"This is Uchiha Clan Compound. The Lord Hokage agreed to let me send you back, saying you performed a great service by killing Otsutsuki Momoshiki." Uchiha Itachi's lips curled up.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up. "Did Uchiha Kō really say that?" He looked at his older brother without saying a word.
Uchiha Itachi said with a serious expression, "Really!"
Sasuke Uchiha's lips curled up; he was barely able to contain himself!
Seeing his younger brother like this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but laugh. He was still so easily fooled, still so naive. But sometimes being a little naive was a good thing.
At least it won't be mentally exhausting~
"Alright, stop showing off and hurry up and prepare dinner." Uchiha Itachi made a phone call, and soon a maid from the Uchiha Clan brought up food and drinks.
Ninjas' bodies are different from ordinary people, especially Sasuke Uchiha. Feeling the emptiness of his chakra and the nourishing food in front of him, he began to eat heartily.
