The group of sharks bit into Gamabunta's skin, making dense and dull impact sounds, although the damage from a single shark was not enough to pierce Gamabunta's thick skin.
But there were too many sharks, and the superposition of impact forces significantly slowed down Gamabunta's movement on the water.
Jiraiya stood above Gamabunta and quickly Hand Seals: "Fire Release·Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"
The flames evaporated the water sharks that came from the front into white mist, and more sharks gathered from both sides to fill the gap.
other side
Naruto jumped quickly in the forest and landed on a thick tree.
Itachi Uchiha walked out silently from the shadow of the tree in front, like a black and red shadow separated from the tree trunk.
Neither of them said any opening remarks. Naruto took out a Kunai grip from the ninja bag, and Itachi simultaneously held the Kunai grip around his waist with his backhand.
Whoa...
Whoa...
clang clang clang...
The two collided rapidly between the intertwined branches, and the sound of Kunai and Kunai colliding sounded in the forest.
Naruto cuts diagonally from the right, and Itachi meets it at the same angle.
Naruto turned over and picked back from below. Itachi stepped sideways to pass the edge of the blade one step ahead, and at the same time used the handle of Kunai to hit Naruto's wrist joint.
The two of them exchanged more than a dozen moves in just a few seconds, and each attack and defense occurred within the extreme distance of almost touching each other's bodies.
Itachi tried to use genjutsu several times during the fight, but every time Sharingan's power entered Naruto's Chakra, it was all gone, and the opponent's Kunai's parrying strength showed no fluctuation.
Both of them were testing each other, so neither of them used their full strength.
"Itachi Uchiha, I often hear Uchiha Sasuke mention you, and today I finally met you in person."
Naruto sided to let Itachi stab him, used Kunai to push Itachi's blade upward, and started chatting with Itachi.
"Uchiha Sasuke?"
Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly.
"That's your stupid brother."
Naruto's expression was relaxed when he spoke, as if he was talking about a common acquaintance.
But the power on Kunai has not weakened at all.
"Sasuke..."
Itachi's mind suddenly moved when he heard Sasuke. Naruto keenly captured the micro-movement nodes of Itachi's right shoulder muscles.
This is when an opponent is suddenly disturbed by a certain piece of information in a high-speed battle, and there will be a very subtle disconnect in the opponent's instinctive defensive rhythm.
But Naruto didn't wait for this disconnect to pass and kicked him out directly.
The timing was very good, and Itachi was kicked before he had time to react.
This kick was very real.
The lines on the soles of the shoes were clearly imprinted on Itachi's crossed arms, and the powerful impact kicked Itachi away.
Itachi Uchiha turned around in the air, taking off most of the impact force, then stepped on the tree and turned twice before landing firmly on a big tree.
His arms were numb, but what made his heart more nervous than this was what Naruto just said.
"Shadow Clone Shuriken!"
At this moment, the voice of Naruto came from below.
Itachi Uchiha raised his head and saw three Kunais falling out of Naruto's hands and splitting into dozens of them in mid-air. Each blade was covered with a layer of high-speed vibrating Wind-Nature Chakra.
The cutting force of Kunai covering Wind Release Chakra is straight off the charts. If it is hit from the front by this Kunai heavy rain, it is estimated that this section and that section will be damaged.
The timing of Naruto's attack was perfect. The moment Itachi Uchiha stabilized his body, Kunai was in front of him. Itachi didn't even have time to Hand Seals.
Itachi's mind was spinning, and without thinking, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes turned rapidly, and then Fusion turned into a pinwheel-shaped pattern.
Mangekyō Sharingan
Evidence of the Uchiha Clan's ultimate power.
In an instant, Itachi Uchiha was wrapped in red Chakra, and crimson skeletons condensed from pure Chakra emerged from the void, splicing and combining at extremely fast speeds, covering his entire body.
clang clang clang...
The rib-like structures were arranged into a defensive wall, and the Kunai attached to Wind Release Chakra hit the red Chakra wall, making a series of dense collision sounds.
Shadow Clone Shuriken's attacks were all blocked.
After the attack ended, the red Chakra skeleton slowly dissipated in the air, revealing Itachi's somewhat anxious face.
This was the first time that he showed some fatigue in front of Naruto.
Naruto jumped to a big tree not far away, looking at Itachi's face that turned slightly pale due to the consumption of Mangekyō Sharingan, he understood in his heart.
Susanoo's primary stage is not yet complete, but it is enough to block his wave of attacks just now.
"Naruto Uzumaki, you are not only very strong."
Itachi slowly straightened up and looked at Naruto with a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan: "He is also very good at psychological warfare."
"Not really."
Naruto shook his head. "Every word I said is true."
"It's just that the moment you heard the name Sasuke, your rhythm was messed up."
"That's why I had the opportunity to seize that flaw."
"It seems that Sasuke is very important in your heart, so some speculations that Uchiha was exterminated can be temporarily verified."
"What guess?"
Itachi Uchiha spoke calmly, but Mangekyō Sharingan began to rotate slowly, and a cold scarlet light gradually lit up in the depths of his pupils.
If anything goes wrong, he will immediately call Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to the Naruto in front of him.
No matter if he is Sasuke's friend or not.
Anyone who knows the truth about the genocide must be completely eliminated if they cannot be completely trusted.
"Sasuke has been my friend since childhood."
Naruto spoke calmly, "I have done some research on his affairs, and I also have some understanding of Uchiha Massacre back then."
"The entire clan was wiped out, leaving only an orphan."
"On the surface, Itachi Uchiha killed the entire clan in order to test his own power, but if you think about it for a moment, you will realize that this statement is untenable. Even if a thirteen-year-old ninja opened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan, it is impossible to kill all the combatants of the Uchiha Clan on his own."
"Unless it's Madara Uchiha, but Madara Uchiha is already dead."
"So this was never something that could be done by one person from the beginning."
"So this is not a so-called measurement test, but some kind of exchange condition to achieve the only acceptable result under forced conditions."
"Amaterasu!"
Just when Naruto was still talking, Itachi Uchiha's right eye suddenly opened, and Mangekyō Sharingan was pushed to the limit in an instant.
A drop of blood slid down his cheek from his eye socket.
A pitch-black flame ignited in the space in front of Naruto without any warning.
But Naruto is faster than Amaterasu.
The moment Amaterasu appeared, Naruto put his hands together, and then a Shadow Clone Technique stood in front of him, and he jumped back instantly.
Shadow Clone Technique was engulfed in a ball of black flames the moment he appeared, and disappeared into a ball of white smoke without even uttering a scream.
"Escaped?"
Itachi Uchiha's pupils contracted violently in an instant.
His Amaterasu did not have any flight trajectory when activated, and the black flames reached the target the moment the eyes saw it.
But Naruto actually blocked Amaterasu with Shadow Clone Technique.
Moreover, he saw that Naruto predicted Amaterasu the moment before he activated Amaterasu, and then completed the replacement of the clone and the main body in advance.
What kind of reaction speed and battlefield pre-reading ability is this.
Itachi also wanted to use Tsukuyomi, but Naruto's ability to be immune to illusions prevented him from using it easily.
If even Tsukuyomi fails, then there is really no way!
At this moment, Itachi's right eye felt a sharp sting, as if someone was scratching his eyeball with a red-hot wire.
"Uh huh..."
Itachi groaned, covering his right eye with his right hand, his body shook uncontrollably, and then he had to turn off Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Hey, I really don't have the talent of Talk no Jutsu."
Naruto stood up from the tree behind and patted the bark chips on his windbreaker.
I sighed silently in my heart.
