You Try It Too / Uchiha Madara Has a Thing for Disciplining People

As Uchiha Itachi leaped into the air, he did not completely escape Uchiha Madara's attack range. The next moment, Earth Spear shot out from the undulating ground.

Uchiha Itachi drew his sword, and the sharp wind instantly sliced through the Earth Spear that was attacking him.

His other hand had already formed Hand Seals.

Since this is an important point, I'll mention it briefly: Uchiha Itachi, besides Fire Release, was most skilled in Water Release.

Especially after he learned escape techniques from a master in his family, he preferred Water Release even more than in the original timeline.

Moreover, unlike a certain Demon of the Hidden Mist who liked to complete all the hand seals properly, Uchiha Itachi not only used one hand but also preferred to simplify the Hand Seals.

The escape technique he's using now is called Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique.

In mid-air, wisps of white ribbons appeared out of thin air and began to swirl around the caster who had temporarily slowed his descent with Wind Release.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, Uchiha Itachi stepped onto the now-formed water surface and continued to exert his power, channeling even more Chakra into the technique.

The trickle quickly turned into a raging torrent, crashing towards Uchiha Madara with a deafening roar.

The powerful water flow washed over the ground and seeped into the soil, turning the originally solid ground into mud. This change in medium disrupted Uchiha Madara's Earth Release technique, rendering the Ninjutsu ineffective.

Furthermore, the range of the mud also follows the Water Release; wherever the water flows, the ground there becomes mud.

But Uchiha Madara wasn't particularly surprised. In fact, if Uchiha Itachi didn't even have this basic skill, he would have really decided to gouge out the kid's eyes.

Someone who can't even perform basic elemental techniques properly, and only knows how to fight like a wild boar based on so-called strengths and weaknesses, does he deserve the surname Uchiha Clan? Does he deserve to possess the Sharingan?

Eat shit, please.

Aside from Genin, what other ninja would care about the concepts of mutual restraint and strength?

Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Itachi were not far apart. As soon as the Great Waterfall Technique was completed, it engulfed him, and the powerful kinetic energy carried by the water immediately began to affect Uchiha Madara's body.

Well, after all, the Uchiha Clan had pulled his legs out of the mud.

He jumped.

Then, as if there was no resistance at all, Uchiha Madara stomped his feet on the muddy surface below with a force that felt like a thousand pounds.

In an instant, the mud turned back into solid soil and cracked outwards from the location of Uchiha Madara.

The extent of the land fragmentation is comparable to that of Great Waterfall Technique!

Naturally, the water created by the Great Waterfall Technique, having lost the support of the earth's surface, inevitably surged into seemingly bottomless fissures, with the vast majority flowing towards the area around Uchiha Madara, since the area shattered the most severely centered on him, almost as if the terrain had been reshaped.

Lightning crackled around Uchiha Madara's body, with electric snakes appearing in the water around him. Uchiha Madara's eyes were locked onto Uchiha Itachi had been approaching him with the current.

Uchiha Itachi's gaze was calm.

But Uchiha Madara felt he wasn't calm enough.

The next moment, the underwater world was reflected in blue, and the enormous thunder dragon, shaking its head, pounced on Uchiha Itachi at a speed faster than it could in the air.

Pure water is naturally non-conductive. However, Water Release performed with Chakra are a good match for Lightning Release techniques, and are much more effective than water containing impurities in nature.

The lightning dragon instantly engulfed Uchiha Itachi's body, and the powerful lightning force even propelled his body out of the water before exploding in the sky.

In that short time, Uchiha Itachi's Great Waterfall Technique was almost completely exhausted, to the point that Uchiha Madara's upper body was already above the waterline.

His kick was both Taijutsu and Earth Release, creating a sufficiently deep space for guiding water.

In the blink of an eye, all the water around them had drained away.

Uchiha Madara waved his hand, and countless lightning spikes shot out from the ground, exploding like numerous Explosive Tag.

He also possesses the Lightning Release to draw water from the ground.

Meanwhile, within this forest of lightning, a figure enveloped in Wind Release also rushed out.

Forced to release his Earth Release, Uchiha Itachi showed no change in expression, but his heart was heavy.

After sparring with Kakashi, he began to focus his efforts on Earth Release, as this jutsu was indeed very useful.

Normally, a Jonin wouldn't specifically master too many Chakra Nature Transformation; they'd usually aim for second or third. However, for Uchiha Itachi, as one of the most prominent figures of the Uchiha Clan in the original timeline, mastering a few more Chakra Nature Transformation wouldn't take much time.

These types of people are all aiming for a Grand Slam, it's just a matter of time.

"Your ninjutsu is so-so." Uchiha Madara looked at the junior before him. "The Uchiha Clan is known for its Manipulated Shuriken Technique, Fire Release, and Sharingan. You'll try to please me with these most basic skills."

"Chieftain, I don't mind you toying with me, but if you don't want to kill me, please let me complete my mission first."

"Junior, you have no right to refuse me." Uchiha Madara said indifferently, "Hurry up, your life or death is up to you."

Chapter Sixty-Four: You Should Try It Too

As a mission-driven individual, Uchiha Itachi feared one particular type of person.

He has no tasks to do, so he'll drag you along to avoid doing tasks too.

He calls himself the second... no, the third... no, that's not right either, the Third Leaf Village still around, so let's just rank him in the top ten.

Yes, as one of the top ten people in Leaf Village who understands the Will of Fire, he cannot allow such a waste of life to happen.

So he instantly created several Shadow Clones, took off running, and disappeared into the forest in different directions.

Uchiha Madara immediately laughed.

Shadow Clone is indeed a good technique, and that bastard Tobirama was quite talented, but in terms of deception, Shadow Clone is still inferior to Wood Release Clone Technique.

"Quite stubborn."

Uchiha Madara put his hands behind his back again and walked slowly into the forest.

His original plan was to stop Uchiha Itachi here and give him a good beating.

What? The original plan was to gouge out eyes? Anyone who asks that doesn't understand the Uchiha Clan at all. Just shut up.

Whether or not he picks at his eyes is a secondary matter; the main thing is that he's very free right now, and it's also a tradition.

This tradition is called, "Since you're idle anyway, why not give the younger generation a good beating to loosen up your muscles and bones."

If you don't beat the young people in your tribe until they scream in pain, then you don't value their lives.

In other words, they were a bunch of useless good-for-nothings during the Kunimura era. Otherwise, based on the current level of lower-ranking ninjas from several ninja villages, nine out of ten would die, and the remaining one would be split in half.

How could it be like this? Even the weakest Rock Ninja can only send out six or seven and only one or two will come back. It's even more outrageous in Leaf Village, where only one out of two ninjas comes back.

They're so bad at this, the casualty rate is ridiculously low.

This Uchiha Itachi is behaving better than he did back in the village; he can still go out, but knowing that Nagato and I are there, he still foolishly came over, which isn't very smart.

Although Nagato was a fool, he was quite a force to be reckoned with during the Kunimura era. The current Uchiha Itachi is no match for him.

Of course, Uchiha Itachi didn't care whether he was going to die or not. However, given his level, did he really need to kill a junior to show off his power for something as trivial as collecting the Tailed Beasts? Even if Nagato had killed him, the foolish world would probably have blamed him.

Since we know that people are foolish, there's no need to make them foolish.

It would be better to give them a good beating and send them home, so that Leaf Village will know what's good for them and stop getting in their way.

This has nothing to do with the other party calling him "Clan Chief." No words can sway him in the slightest. He has been lurking in Leaf Village for so long, has he wavered? Hashirama couldn't even get a word in edgewise with him!

However, on the other hand, if Uchiha Itachi was still able to steal the Tailed Beasts under these circumstances, then it wouldn't be a big deal if the Tailed Beasts fell into the hands of the Uchiha Clan.

He was going to Leaf Village sooner or later anyway; with Hashirama gone, who could stop him?

What's noteworthy is Black Zetsu. He managed to put on an act right under his nose for so long. It's been a long time since I've seen someone who has mastered the Five Cart Technique so well. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path can no longer communicate with spirits. This matter must be related to Black Zetsu.

As Uchiha Madara pondered these thoughts, his speed increased dramatically, becoming nothing short of lightning-fast.

He suddenly sprinted forward, weaving in front of the running Uchiha Itachi, and with a flick of his foot, sent a flying rock hurtling towards him.

When Uchiha Itachi saw Uchiha Madara suddenly appear in front of him, a slight expression finally appeared on his face.

It could be called -- Damn!

Because what was being blocked was his true form.

When he saw the figure ahead, he dispelled the Shadow Clone, and the memories that came back indicated that Uchiha Madara had come directly to stop his main body.

This is very low on Chakra.

A flying rock whistled past Uchiha Itachi's crotch, but he leaped up and stepped over it.

"Wasting Chakra." Uchiha Itachi heard this as he landed. "Once the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan reaches the Mangekyo Sharingan level, as long as one knows the techniques to discern its true nature, these illusions are useless. Using the Senju Clan technique to oppose me, do you even deserve to be called Uchiha Clan?"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Oh no, he seems to have triggered the clan leader's nostalgia!

That is, the number one thing you absolutely cannot do if you encounter Shingen Uchiha Madara outside, because that old man now likes to show off his past glory as being in a league of his own with Hashirama whenever he sees someone.

If the person being shown off is from the Uchiha Clan, then the show will last for at least a few hours.

Uchiha Itachi estimated that in a few hours... what kind of mission would there be left?

No wonder they won't kill me, and they won't let me escape! What are we going to do?!

There's no other way; it seems he has to use his ultimate technique.

"In terms of skill, I certainly cannot compare to you." Uchiha Itachi had no intention of arguing with Uchiha Madara about "the Senju Clan technique." To be fair, Uchiha Madara had used Wood Release when he was in Leaf Village. If the type of Ninjutsu he used determined which clan he belonged to, then in terms of the purity of the Senju Clan, Uchiha Madara higher than anyone else.

Those in the family who know Elder Uchiha Setsuna know that you shouldn't argue with an old man who's caught up in his memories.

"I will now challenge you to teach me my unique techniques!" Uchiha Itachi said coldly, the Tomoe in his eyes beginning to change.

This is also what Shingen said: if Uchiha Madara, don't follow the rhythm. You have to act a little stunned, and then use the power that would absolutely kill Uchiha Madara to attack him. Of course, this method only applies to the Uchiha Clan, otherwise it will just be a suicide mission.

Considering the opponent is currently Impure World Reincarnation, we should just use the most lethal Ninjutsu.

Coincidentally, after Uchiha Itachi awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he gained two special Dōjutsu, which were very suitable for dealing with the Impure World Reincarnation.

In Uchiha Itachi's two Sharingan, three Tomoe on each side began to rotate around the center of the pupil, gradually merging together to form a blade-like shape.

His pupil power was also rapidly increasing.

Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow.

The Mangekyō Sharingan not only greatly enhances the original Sharingan's abilities, but the techniques it creates also fully reflect the user's inner world or align with their area of expertise in Ninjutsu.

Guessing the Mangekyo Sharingan's Dōjutsu was a game he and Izuna played together after they awakened their Mangekyo Sharingan, a game he fondly remembered.

The next moment, Uchiha Itachi activated his ability.

It seems reckless, but there's no other way.

Uchiha Itachi excelled at executing small combos using solid basic techniques, but he was in a rather awkward position when facing the best ninja of the Warring States period, who was no weaker than him.

A tear of blood flowed from Uchiha Itachi's eye.

Black flames erupted from Uchiha Madara's body and quickly engulfed every part of him.

After unleashing Amaterasu, Uchiha Itachi immediately stopped attacking.

This was also the first time he had used this Dōjutsu, and in just a moment, his eyes began to feel a stinging pain.

"I see." Uchiha Madara's voice came from within the flames, but his tone was surprisingly gentle. "I didn't expect your Dōjutsu to be the same as Izuna's."

To Uchiha Itachi's astonishment, the Uchiha Clan emerged from Amaterasu was still burning a human-shaped form.

"Nothing to be surprised about, is there?" Uchiha Madara said. "Amaterasu's weakness is that it can't immediately penetrate an opponent's defenses. Just cover yourself with Chakra. Hmm, you should try it too."

Before he could finish speaking, another ball of pitch-black flame suddenly erupted from beneath Uchiha Itachi's feet!

Chapter Sixty-Five: Uchiha Madara is a Domination Maniac

When the same black flames rose from his feet, Uchiha Itachi's first thought was not to dodge, but rather...

Try it and you'll die?

Then his thoughts continued to wander.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that many of his older relatives were unconventional.

Except for Brother Shisui.

The same applies to Uchiha Madara before us.

He cracked his Amaterasu, which isn't unacceptable, considering the opponent was the most outstanding ninja in the history of the Uchiha Clan. Even Shingen said that he was far inferior in the same circumstances.

But if you solve the problem, tell him the method, and then then throw an Amaterasu at him and ask him to try it out, how is he supposed to understand?

Did they think he was worthless and unworthy of bearing the name of the Uchiha Clan, so they wanted to kill him?

Or did this clan chief believe that once someone has been asked to do something, they should be able to do it, so was he really being asked to give it a try?
