Shisui's body swayed in mid-air for a moment, then was firmly held by the dragon's claws, and was carried high into the sky by Smaug.
Smaug's wings flapped again, and the air flow exploded under its claws. The huge dark golden body rose up, drew an arc in the sky, and then passed over the battlefield again.
Dragon Flame sprayed out again the moment it passed over the square, exploding a lava river stretching for tens of feet in front of the ninjas who tried to pursue it, completely cutting off their formation.
Shisui was suspended in mid-air by the dragon's claws. He lowered his head and looked down at the figure still holding a severed wrist on the ground.
Uchiha Itachi raised his head, eyes fixed on him.
The broken right wrist was still oozing blood, and the dark red liquid flowed down his forearm and formed a small pool on the Stone Slab in front of his feet.
But it was as if he didn't feel any pain at all, he just raised his head and stared at the figure caught in the dragon's claws in mid-air.
His roar came up from the ground, with a kind of confusion and pain that had been suppressed for too long, and he was hoarse.
"Shisui, why?"
Shisui hung under the dragon's claws, lowered his head to meet Uchiha Itachi's gaze, and was silent for a breath.
Then he spoke, and his voice was calm and fell clearly into the ears of everyone present:
"I'm sorry."
"But only Master Yongye can make Konoha truly better!"
"He is the overall situation for Konoha, I must be loyal to him!"
Uchiha Itachi's body trembled suddenly.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Uchiha Yongye in the air!
At the same time, the eyes began to change.
Three-Tomoe appeared in his pupils, and then began to spin crazily. The speed of rotation was getting faster and faster, so fast that it was connected together, and the boundaries of Tomoe could not be distinguished. In the center of the rotation, a new pattern slowly emerged.
A stone.
Huge, gray-black, exuding a gloomy and heavy aura, like a piece of Stone of Destiny dug out from deep underground.
Mangekyō Sharingan!
He turned his head again and stared at the figure caught in the dragon's claws in mid-air. His voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, with a hoarseness and brokenness that even he could hear:
"Shisui..."
"You'll regret it!"
Shisui lowered his head and looked at the eyes with the Mangekyo Sharingan pattern emerging. A complicated pain surged in his heart, but he did not speak again. He just looked away and looked at the golden giant in the sky that was confronting Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands.
Smaug's wings flapped again, carrying him higher and higher, hovering in the sky, and then landed on the top of a broken stone pillar at the edge of the battlefield.
It released its dragon claw, placed Shisui on the top of the stone pillar, then folded its wings again, and its dark orange vertical pupils swept across the ninjas below who were still staring in this direction.
No one below continued the pursuit.
Everyone's eyes were raised to the sky again.
There, the golden giant is launching a new round of confrontation with Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands of Hashirama Senju.
On the ground, Uchiha Itachi lowered his head, staring at his broken wrist that was still bleeding, and the Mangekyo Sharingan pattern in his pupils slowly rotated.
The gray-black boulder hung heavily in the depths of his pupils, like a weight pressed to the bottom by Fate.
In mid-air, the battle between golden Susanoo and Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands has lasted for hundreds of rounds.
Yongye stood at the head of Susanoo, with his hands behind his back, looking calm.
He accurately suppressed the output of Chakra at the same level as Hashirama Senju. Every time he swung his sword to block, every dodge and counterattack, he stepped on the gap between the opponent's moves, as if he was dancing a waltz in which he had seen all the steps in advance.
Hashirama Senju's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He could feel that the opponent's Chakra power was equal to his, and his moves were not fancy secret techniques, just the most basic chopping, slashing, blocking, and dodging.
But each sword hit the moment when his attack-defense transition was weakest. Each sword struck precisely at the gap where the previous punch had exhausted its force and the next punch had not yet had time to accumulate force.
Those seemingly ordinary sword moves intercepted his Senju offensive exactly every time, as if they precisely blocked the gears on the assembly line.
"Your swordsmanship..."
Hashirama Senju's voice came from the top of the Buddha statue, with an irrepressible exclamation, "How can it be so accurate? You are still so young!"
Yongye stood on the head of the golden Susanoo, the golden armor plates glowing with bright ripples in the sunlight. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his voice was light and airy, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"The realm of Genius Sword God..."
"Of course I can't understand your brute-force smashing style."
The corner of Hashirama Senju's mouth twitched, and Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands's fist accelerated the attack frequency, hitting the golden Susanoo like a rainstorm.
But Yongye's sword is faster than his fist.
The golden sword blade drew a series of fine arcs in the air, each arc cutting exactly into the gap between the fists. The wooden arms that were cut off by the blade peeled off from the Buddha statue, fell to the ground, and were broken into wood chips in mid-air and scattered by the air current.
Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands begins to disintegrate.
Starting from the periphery, the arms broke and fell off one by one, and the outline of the Buddha statue became increasingly blurred under the continuous slashes. Hashirama Senju's breathing also began to become rapid, and the cracks of Impure World Reincarnation emerged from his forehead, and they were quickly healed by the circulation of Senjutsu Chakra.
His body took several steps back, and a huge gash was opened in the chest of the Buddha statue by the golden sword blade, and the whole Buddha statue began to shake.
On the ground, Tobirama Senju's pupils shrank suddenly.
His figure was ejected from the spot, and Flying Thunder God Technique activated, flashing three times in mid-air, trying to cut into the blind spot of Yongye's vision from the side.
But as soon as he approached the area covered by the golden sword light and green fist shadow, the shock wave generated by the collision of two huge Chakra exploded in front of him, like an invisible wall. He was thrown away, and his back was smashed into a broken wall. The rubble and dust buried half of his body.
Kisame tried to rush in from the other side, Samehada flipped in his hand, and the huge Water Release Chakra condensed into a Water Blade, trying to cut through the ankle of the golden Susanoo.
As soon as his Water Blade touched the edge of the golden light curtain, it was crushed into water mist by the shock wave. His whole figure flew out like a leaf blown up by the strong wind and smashed through a stone house on the edge of the square.
Ōnoki's Dust Release beam came from a distance, trying to open a hole in the golden Susanoo's armor.
But as soon as the beam of light touched the surface of the golden armor, it was swallowed up by the subsequent surge of golden Chakra flames, leaving not even a white mark. He gritted his teeth, and his old face turned an unnatural gray in the strong wind.
Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Armor flashed crazily under the violent shock wave. His footsteps were stuck in place, but the Stone Slab on the soles of his feet had been squeezed out with spiderweb-like cracks, and the whole person was suppressed by the air, making it difficult to move.
This is a battle between gods and gods!
All mortals who tried to intervene were in a state of disarray.
In front of Chad-tons of Chakra, no matter how powerful Chakra Ninjutsu is, it is just a floating cloud.
