The rain had just stopped, and a silver moon shone from east to west, casting its light.
" Sasuke, give up on revenge. Even if you kill Itachi with your own hands, all you will gain in the end is emptiness."
Kakashi tried to dissuade him loudly, but this only Sasuke into a complete frenzy.
"Hahahaha, I remember I already answered you in front of Itachi: bring my father, mother, and all the clansmen killed by Itachi before me and I will stop my revenge."
"Can you do it, Kakashi?!"
Sizzle sizzle...
Like the chirping of a thousand sparrows, the clear black and white pupils in their eyes instantly turned blood red.
Lightning Release: Chidori Senbon - Sudden Rain!
With a light leap, tens of millions of Lightning Release: Senbon suddenly descended, adding a touch of azure to this familiar rain.
"It's that strange form change again. What exactly did that guy Huayue teach the kids? Lightning Release Ninjutsu with this range is no toy."
Feeling a sudden pressure, Kakashi rapidly Hand Seals.
"Wind Release: Typhoon Pass!"
A sudden gust of wind arose, and a small storm instantly blew away countless Lightning Release Senbon Needles, but Sasuke showed a knowing expression.
" Copy Ninja, you've saved yourself quite a few times with that eye, haven't you?"
The Kusanagi Sword appeared from his wrist, followed by several Fuma Shuriken. Sasuke remained calm and composed, and even though he was affected by anger, he still made a judgment on the situation before him.
"Only two Sharingan can unleash their full power. You foreign ninja, stop showing off that one eye in front of me!"
" Fuma Shuriken!"
In an instant, as the shuriken flew out, Kakashi immediately sensed that something was wrong.
With Kunai attached to its Lightning Blade, it accurately struck the center of the Fuma Shuriken.
" Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
In an instant, the Fuma Shuriken in front of him split into several shuriken clones, and in no time, Sasuke appeared in front of Kakashi.
A series of dazzling Taijutsu left Kakashi speechless with astonishment.
Sasuke's progress during this period has far exceeded Kakashi's expectations, and he is now on par with ordinary Jonin in terms of Taijutsu.
" Sasuke, you..."
"You still have time to look around? You're no match for me now, Kakashi!"
Click!
The numerous Fuma Shuriken in mid-air disintegrated, and a series of whooshing sounds shot towards the two of them.
"A mechanical shuriken?!"
Just as Kakashi was about to slip away, Sasuke entangled him tightly, and Kakashi used his small stature to avoid all attacks.
At this moment, Sasuke's gaze was deep and his expression was cold.
"Don't try to stop me, Kakashi..."
With a soft thud, Sasuke's limbs and back were penetrated by various mechanisms, but the expected blood did not flow out Sasuke his eyes. Instead, it turned into azure lightning.
"Aaaaaah..."
In the distance, Kakashi stepped into the lake, his expression complex.
"Stop pretending, Sasuke. This level of lightning release didn't do you much damage at all."
The screams abruptly stopped. Sasuke stood on the lake, the electricity from his Lightning Release: Shadow Clone being channeled underwater by the Silent Blood Armor.
"As expected of an elite Jonin from the village, you're even more troublesome than I anticipated. But the next ninjutsu won't be as good as the previous one. I'm not interested in killing you, Kakashi."
Sizzle sizzle!!
The sparrows' chirping gradually faded away. Clinging to the Kusanagi Sword, Kakashi remained silent. Trying to stop such an excellent student was indeed extremely difficult.
"You'll regret your decision tonight, Kakashi. It's after the rain, which means there's a high concentration of water molecules in the air."
His hands moved swiftly, Hand Seals, and wisps of sparks scattered in all directions.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
The flames surged and roared in like a tidal wave, with countless plumes of steam rising up, even drying the water beneath their feet by several millimeters.
"What is this, an illusion? No, could it be...?"
A sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered the earth-shattering thunderstorm during the Chunin Ninja Exams. Kakashi's expression changed drastically.
With his Sharingan looking around and seeing no one, he seemed to realize something and looked up.
"It's too late, Kakashi. You collapsed to the ground amidst the roar of the Kirin. Even with your strength, you couldn't withstand it head-on. This is proof that I have surpassed my teacher!"
Dark clouds swept in, bringing with them gales and lightning, roaring across the sky.
The shimmering azure thunderstorm gradually coalesced into the shape of Kirin, gazing down at the tiny ants below.
" Kirin!"
The raised Chidori, like a renowned blade, slashed down cleanly and swiftly, and the Kirin formed by the thunderstorm instantly pounced on Kakashi above the lake.
With his exceptional Sharingan, he clearly noticed the Silent Blood Armor surrounding Sasuke, and the three jet-black Tomoe spinning wildly...
The azure lightning storm crashed down, and in a mere instant, it was swallowed up by the ever-distorting space.
" Kamui ".
The torrential rain poured down, and countless towering columns of water turned into rainwater, spreading and swirling around the lake along with the overflowing thunderstorm.
Kakashi was panting heavily, and the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes was exceptionally conspicuous under the silver moonlight.
"That eye, that's right, Uchiha Itachi wanted me to stand in front of him with that kind of eye. Why can an outsider awaken the Mangekyō? Why not me!"
A wave of weariness washed over him, and Kakashi was about to offer some words of comfort when a sword, fixed on the shadow, emitted a rhythmic blue light.
" Sasuke!"
"Please stay here for now and do not interfere with my revenge, or I will kill you with my own hands, Kakashi."
Bang! White Mist swirled around, and the figure in front of me turned into smoke and disappeared into the air.
" Curse Mark, Shadow Clone, what should I do, Minato-sensei...?"
Looking up at the sky, the silver moon cast a soft, clear light that fell upon Kakashi, yet it could not dispel the confusion in his heart.
In the dead of night, at the residence of Uchiha Huayue.
Sasuke stumbled and almost fell to the ground, Sasuke braced himself and his expression grew increasingly serious.
"As expected of the Anbu Captain, even Orochimaru couldn't defeat Kirin -on; it was all thanks to that eye, the Mangekyō Sharingan..."
"I... I... can't do it. Killing a friend is something that guy can't do. He's unlocked the Eternal Mangekyō; he can't possibly do it!"
Like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, Sasuke open the door, and a familiar figure appeared before him with a long sigh.
"You're really having a good time, fighting Kakashi like this to prove your determination to get revenge?"
"You know, right? The way to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan is to kill your most important friend with your own hands. That guy killed Uchiha Shisui with his own hands and gained the power in return."
At this point, Sasuke's expression became even more ferocious.
"I don't want to take advantage of the path he gave me. You can use drugs to enhance your physical abilities, and you can also use some method to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, right!"
"Oh dear, you should know the consequences of absorbing too many Negative Reishi. If this is your choice, then come with me."
