That's too fast!
In an instant, Kisame reached a conclusion.
Shinsei's powerful strike was the ultimate combination of Sage Mode and Chakra Enhanced Strength Technique.
A powerful fist slammed directly into Kisame's body.
With a loud "bang," Kisame's entire body was smashed into a cloud of water mist and exploded.
Is it Water Clone?
A purplish-red Sharingan appeared in Shinsei's eyes.
"I heard that Shinsei- kun is a member of the Senju Clan. Are you also going to have your Sharingan transplanted?"
Kisame's voice came from all directions, its tone ambiguous, whether it was teasing or mocking.
Large amounts of white mist surged out from all directions to obscure Shinsei's vision.
The Hidden Mist Technique? I know that myself, and there's even a more advanced version.
Shinsei Hand Seals, and a large amount of white mist spread from his hands.
Storm Release: Heavenly Net!
A surge of Chakra senses flooded into Shinsei's mind.
Found it!
Behind a large tree, Kisame's Chakra aura shone as brightly as a torch in the night.
Since we're going to fight Kisame, let's try out the Eight Gates Released Formation techniques.
Shinsei clenched his fist and swung it violently at the tree!
Morning Peacock!
A pair of fists kept punching forward.
The lightning-fast fist rubbed against the air, igniting the surrounding air and forming a flame-like air bubble, which was then thrown towards the large tree where Kisame was.
With a loud "bang!"
The tree was blasted into a crater the size of a bowl by a bubble of air carrying flames.
Uh, that's awkward.
I'm still not skilled enough with this move; I can't achieve the same power as Might Guy.
I've already used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to reduce my weight, and I thought I could get close to Might Guy, but I'm still far from it.
"There's no Chakra?" Kisame emerged from behind the tree, looking at the holes in it. "What kind of technique is this? I can't sense Chakra from it."
"That's called 'three thousand lives lost'," Shinsei casually made up.
In a sense, Shinsei is right. In the original work, Kisame was defeated by Might Guy's Eight Gates Released Formation.
However, that was Might Guy's Seventh Gate, the Gate of View, unleashing the power of the Daytime Tiger.
As a powerful figure, Kisame naturally knew his stuff. Although the hole in the tree wasn't large or deep, its meaning was completely different from traditional Ninjutsu.
It signifies that the young man's Taijutsu have reached their pinnacle.
" Shinsei- chan, please make yourself at home!"
Shinsei wanted to continue testing some Ninjutsu, and he was visibly taken aback when he heard Kisame's words.
"Is Kisame- san no longer trying to stop me?"
"I do want to stop Shinsei- kun, but I lack the ability. However, Shinsei- kun previously stated that he would not interfere in the conflict between his brothers, and I urge you to uphold this. Otherwise, I will presumptuously try to stop you."
It was a bit of a pity. Shinsei looked at Samehada on Kisame's shoulder. If the fight had continued, he would have taken Samehada from him.
Tools that can absorb other people's Chakra are rare, and Samehada can also use Chakra to heal wounds.
Now that Kisame was no longer interfering, Shinsei had no excuse. He had already gained a certain reputation in the Shinobi World, so he was somewhat more cautious in his actions.
If Shinsei had possessed the strength he has now when he first joined the Anbu, he would definitely have said to Samehada, "This thing is destined for me."
Then they took Samehada.
Shinsei glanced at Samehada one last time, then stopped thinking about it and turned to enter the cave.
In the dimly lit hall, torches flickered on the walls.
The pungent smell of smoke from the poor air circulation made Sasuke Uchiha somewhat agitated.
He rushed along the corridor and soon came to a large stone hall at the end of the corridor.
There was a stone chair against the wall in the hall, and a young man dressed in a black robe with red clouds sat on it.
The young man raised his head, and a pair of scarlet Sharingan suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Die!" Sasuke Uchiha roared, and a long Chakra sword crackling with lightning extended from between his two fingers.
The longsword pierced the figure's chest with lightning speed, Chakra sword.
"Quack!"
A crow cawed in the hall.
Uchiha Itachi's figure transformed into a dozen or so crows and scattered in all directions.
The stone chair, which had just been broken in two, reappeared intact in the hall.
Sasuke scoffed and said, "You think you can fool an Uchiha with this level of Genjutsu?"
"My foolish little brother, you still haven't improved at all."
Behind the stone chair, Uchiha Itachi slowly emerged, his crimson Sharingan swirling with three Tomoe.
"Die!" Sasuke roared, and the Chakra sword on his finger once again sliced Uchiha Itachi in two.
"Quack quack!"
Uchiha Itachi's body then transformed into several crows.
"Is that all the tricks you know, Uchiha Itachi!"
"My foolish brother, Ninjutsu is never about the magnitude of its power, but about the timing of its use."
Uchiha Itachi's words, calm yet laced with sarcasm, echoed from the beams above the hall.
This time, they didn't attack right away. Sasuke watched as Uchiha Itachi landed from the beam into the hall.
The two previous exchanges had allowed Sasuke to calm down somewhat.
"Are you ready to die, Uchiha Itachi!"
"Cough, cough!" Uchiha Itachi covered his mouth, peeking at his younger brother through his fingers, a dangerous smile spreading across his face. "I've waited so long, and finally you've awakened the Mangekyō. The Uchiha Clan can once again produce Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Mangekyō, Mangekyō again— Sasuke felt an indescribable annoyance upon hearing this term.
A pair of six-pointed star Mangekyō appeared in his eyes, and he pointed two fingers of his left hand at his eyes.
"Do you really want these eyes that badly?"
Uchiha Itachi chuckled, standing at a distance, reaching out as if to touch those eyes.
"My foolish brother, what Uchiha wouldn't want the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? Those are Madara Uchiha's eyes! They possess power comparable to Hashirama Senju."
"So you killed your father and mother, and wiped out the Uchiha Clan?"
Sasuke's words were almost spat out from between his teeth.
Looking at Uchiha Itachi's sickly smile across from him, he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.
This is completely different from the Uchiha Itachi I remembered from my childhood.
A mix of emotions welled up inside me; I didn't know if it was sadness, anger, or disappointment after my illusions were shattered.
"Do you know, my little brother... cough cough." Uchiha Itachi was still covering his mouth, " The Uchiha Clan is a cursed clan. You should have seen that stone tablet, right? Those who kill their own parents will awaken the Sharingan. What does killing our parents and the entire clan matter for those eyes?"
Sasuke began to tremble upon hearing this, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.
Are you scared, Sasuke?
Sasuke Uchiha grinned.
"No, I'm excited! The thought of killing you right now makes me incredibly excited!"
