Mangekyo Sharingan: Kamui

In an instant, a violent Void Reiatsu surged out, condensing before the blade and transforming into a crescent-shaped slash that struck directly at Itachi Uchiha behind him!

The power of this slash was far greater than the previous one!

The mere residual shockwave instantly destroyed the two stone pillars in front of the shrine, shattering them completely!

And the direction of its impact was precisely aimed at Itachi Uchiha!

"?"

Seeing this scene, Itachi's pupils suddenly contracted, his expression changing slightly.

Did this guy with the Fox Ghost Mask possess an ability similar to the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan?

He was facing away from me, yet his slash was this precise?

It was unbelievable!

In a flash, Itachi Uchiha had no time to think further and quickly raised his hand, completing the hand seal with one hand!

"Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

As he spoke, a giant chakra fire dragon instantly shot out, carrying surging crimson flames, and charged directly towards the crescent slash ahead!

BOOM!!

The moment the fire dragon came into contact with the crescent, it was instantly cut to pieces with no room for resistance!

The scattered flames turned into a chaotic shockwave, which instantly spread out in all directions!

And the injured Itachi Uchiha, using the power of this storm, gritted his teeth and instantly leaped into the air, dodging this explosive attack!

The Moon Fang Sky Strike, unleashed by Chen Xiaoxi, did not dissipate after colliding with the fire dragon. Instead, it directly struck the Naka Shrine!

CRASH!!

The roof of the large shrine instantly collapsed!

A huge explosion ignited in the night, almost echoing throughout the entire Leaf Village!

Amidst the collapsing aftermath, Itachi Uchiha used all his strength to barely leap to an open space beside the shrine.

He landed on one knee, gasping for breath, his face extremely grim. The ineffective Mangekyou Sharingan was also deactivated at this moment.

"Hoo... Haa..."

I can't go on.

He was already at his limit.

After the backlash from his genjutsu being broken and the consumption of his Mangekyou Sharingan, he... had very little energy left to continue fighting.

More importantly, Chen Xiaoxi's backhand slash earlier had indeed injured him significantly.

This wasn't him holding back.

It was that he, at this moment, was completely crushed by this White Demon wearing a mask!

And only then, Chen Xiaoxi turned around, lowering his blade as he looked at Itachi Uchiha, and chuckled lightly:

"As expected of someone called a genius."

"When faced with an unstoppable slash, you immediately thought of using the Great Fire Dragon Technique to create an explosive shockwave to escape."

"A truly brilliant maneuver."

"However..."

"Your stamina has probably reached its limit, hasn't it?"

"..."

Itachi remained silent.

He knew he had been completely seen through.

But, What he couldn't understand was that the chakra within this guy's body seemed very weak.

Yet, why, even after continuously unleashing such powerful slashes from the beginning... did it seem like there was no fluctuation at all?

Had he been secretly using some method to recover?

Although he could no longer fight for the time being, Itachi was rapidly contemplating countermeasures in his mind.

At this moment, A low voice echoed in the night sky.

"Enough."

"Your playful antics end here."

The one who spoke was, naturally, the Masked Man.

This man, clad in a black robe and claiming to be Madara Uchiha.

He slowly walked up to Itachi Uchiha, stopped, then turned to face Chen Xiaoxi ahead. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:

"That Danzo Shimura fellow never told me he had such a powerful subordinate."

"Your strength alone is more than enough to wipe out the entire Uchiha Clan, isn't it?"

"He, from the start, didn't seem to need a collaborator at all."

The Masked Man said in a low voice.

He had been lurking on the sidelines during Itachi Uchiha's battle just now, precisely to observe the strength of the person before him.

And now, The Masked Man could confidently confirm—

This guy's strength might absolutely be no less than his own teacher's... the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!

Whether it was the bizarre Crescent Slash, the ability to break genjutsu, or that high-speed Instantaneous God Technique, all were outrageously powerful.

How could such a guy be loyal to a scheming old fox like Danzo Shimura?

The Masked Man truly couldn't figure it out.

And at this moment, Upon hearing the Masked Man's words, Chen Xiaoxi suddenly gave a faint smile and said:

"You're really overestimating me."

"That's right, just as you said, Lord Danzo did consider having me take action before, but I directly refused."

"As for the reason... it's very simple."

"Unlike the two of you, I can't do despicable things like exterminating a clan."

"Besides,"

"Lord Danzo was also afraid of drawing trouble to himself. Wouldn't it be better for the two of you to take the blame?"

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the Masked Man and Itachi Uchiha changed slightly.

Damn it...

Danzo Shimura, that guy, truly had no good intentions from the very beginning!

A moment later, The Masked Man lowered his gaze slightly, raised a hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Hmph, the situation has reached a point of drawing swords. There's no point in saying more."

"Come on—"

"Person of the Fox Ghost Mask, next... your opponent is me, Madara Uchiha!"

The Masked Man finally decided to make his move personally.

Although he liked to lurk.

He also knew that he could no longer lurk.

The current Itachi Uchiha could no longer maintain high-intensity combat and could collapse at any moment.

If that really happened, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Moreover, this person wearing the Fox Ghost Mask, given how strong he already was, wouldn't he become Six Paths level in the future?

In the future, he would undoubtedly be one of the major rivals for the Eye of the Moon Plan!

Therefore, rather than letting him continue to grow stronger, it would be better to kill him tonight... and eliminate him!

According to the Masked Man's observation just now, Although this masked person was very fast, it was merely a simple increase in movement speed and did not involve the level of space-time ninjutsu.

As long as it was like this, there was a high chance of victory.

After all, no matter how fast you are, can you be faster than Master Door's Flying Thunder God?

"..."

However, Upon hearing the Masked Man's words, Chen Xiaoxi not only showed no surprise but his heart suddenly stirred, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

He had waited for so long, This guy was finally going to make a move himself.

With that, the final branch mission could finally be prepared for completion--

As he pondered, Chen Xiaoxi put on a look of great surprise, raised the knife in his hand, and smiled, tilting his chin up as he said:

"Oh?"

"The renowned Ninja World Asura, Madara Uchiha, is actually going to make a move on me personally. How exciting..."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xiaoxi's mind stirred, and he instantly turned into an afterimage, disappearing from his original spot.

He then appeared before the Masked Man, directly raising the moon-white blade in his hand and slashing forward!

This time, all his Reiatsu was gathered on the blade, not forming a crescent, but directly cutting towards the Masked Man's body.

Seeing this, the Masked Man let out a low, cold laugh, showing no panic whatsoever, and instantly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan: Kamui.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author, perhaps the title has been changed!
