[Hearing this, Itachi kicked off the ground and hurriedly leaped toward Kabuto.]
[But Kabuto already had his sword in hand. He stabbed at the charging Itachi, instantly piercing through his body.]
["I told you not to rush!" Kabuto said smugly.]
[At that moment, the pattern in Itachi's Sharingan suddenly changed.]
[A flash of white light passed by, and his body vanished, replaced by countless crows fluttering chaotically through the air.]
[Kabuto could only raise a hand to shield himself.]
[That very movement caused Kabuto to drop his long sword.]
[Itachi appeared out of thin air amid the flock of crows, snatched up the sword, and swung it heavily at Kabuto.]
[Whoosh!]
[A flash of sword light streaked past, and one of the horns on Kabuto's head fell to the ground!]
[Yet Kabuto did not care at all. After landing, he rubbed the spot where his horn had broken off and laughed. "Right, I forgot. There usually isn't a horn here, so I wasn't paying attention."]
[At that moment, Sasuke slowly walked over to Itachi's side, his gaze full of confusion.]
[But Itachi said with complete understanding, "Now, we should be able to take down that giant wild boar!"]
Beneath the Sky Screen, most people were immersed in the thrilling battle they had just witnessed, but a small number of them noticed something unusual and frowned in thought.
"This is the coordination between Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, the two brothers!!! They're truly in sync, without the slightest bit of awkwardness."
"It's really strange. Sasuke hated his brother for nearly half his life, yet he can still work with him so well. Did they secretly practice behind everyone's backs?"
"I think Itachi was the one who secretly practiced. Haven't you noticed that Itachi treats his little brother a little too well?"
