Chapter 428 Brothers’ Battle (2)

Uchiha Itachi was very strong and reached the Kage level threshold at the age of thirteen.

Being able to fight Shisui on his own and survive the Anbu pursuit, now after several years of training, Uchiha Itachi's strength will only become even better.

Among the high-end combat capabilities of the major ninja villages, he is considered the best.

Sasuke's strength is also not weak. He showed his strength as a Jonin during the Chunin Examination. After passing the trials in the Sound Ninja Village and Ryūchi Cave, he also entered the threshold of Kage level.

Although there is a gap in strength between the two, the gap is not huge.

After a brief exchange, Sasuke and Itachi distanced themselves. Itachi's fighting style was the standard Uchiha style, dancing gracefully on the tip of the knife, elegant and deadly.

Sasuke is tainted with the style of Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, with murderous intent hidden in his calmness.

The next moment, the two threw out the kunai with the detonating talisman tied to it, and under the cover of the explosion, they started a duel in physical skills again.

However, the physical contest lasted for half a minute without a winner.

When the Sharingan is activated at the same time, there is not much difference in physical skills between the two. If they want to defeat each other, they must come up with another trump card, which is genjutsu.

After a thought, the two of them used Sharingan Genjutsu towards each other in tacit agreement.

In an instant, both sides entered the illusion space, and started fighting in the illusion space. The confrontation in illusion was not at all easier than in physical skills, and was even more dangerous.

Once you fail in the illusion, you will not only lose your mind, but you may even risk getting lost.

Shisui silently watched the battle between the two brothers without the slightest thought of interfering. When Uchiha Itachi chose to confront him with swords, the friendship between them had ended.

Now Uchiha Itachi was just a familiar stranger to him.

As long as Sasuke can be stimulated to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha's strength will be further strengthened, surpassing the so-called Hokage series.

At this time, the Hokage and others also noticed the movement here and came to Shisui.

Orochimaru said to Shisui: "It seems that the two of them are still fighting. I don't know whether Sasuke I trained is more powerful, or Uchiha Itachi is more powerful."

Shimizu said calmly: "I don't know, their brother's matter has nothing to do with me, but if Uchiha Itachi wins, I will kill Uchiha Itachi myself."

"..."

Jiraiya on the side was a little speechless to Shisui.

What Shisui meant was that Sasuke could lose, but Uchiha Itachi couldn't win, right? But from Shisui's point of view, Uchiha Itachi was indeed unforgivable.

The Second Hokage stared at Sasuke, frowned and said: "Shisui, that boy named Sasuke is about to awaken the Mangekyō. You are sitting idly by and ignoring the fight between them, probably for the sake of the Mangekyō."

Shisui couldn't deny it, and then said:

"The second generation is really well-informed and guessed my intention right away. However, whether Sasuke can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan depends on his own ability."

"Why, don't you, the Second Generation Master, want to see an extra fighting force on Konoha's side before the war begins?"

The Second Hokage snorted coldly and said:

"I'm afraid it's not just the Mangekyō Sharingan. The Mangekyō Sharingan can evolve. As long as two pairs of blood-related Mangekyō are combined into one, an Eternal Mangekyō can be born."

"This is how Uchiha Madara got the Eternal Kaleidoscope, and you are imitating Uchiha Madara."

Shisui was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "I still can't hide it from the Nidaime. Does the Nidaime intend to prevent the birth of the new Eternal Mangekyo? In this case, we will not be friends."

"Hmph..." The Second Hokage said dismissively:

"In the past, I would have prevented the birth of the Mangekyo even if I gave up my life. But now that I am dead, I have no interest in you Uchiha. As long as you don't become Madara Uchiha's lackeys and don't take action against the Leaf Village. , I can pretend I didn’t see it.”

However, after Orochimaru heard the word eternity, he narrowed his eyes slightly and began to mutter: "Eternal Kaleidoscope... I really want to study it carefully."

Apparently, Orochimaru is very interested in the Eternal Mangekyo.

Compared with the cold chat between the second generation, Shisui and Orochimaru, the chat between the fourth generation, Jiraiya and Naruto was full of human touch.

Both the Yondaime and Jiraiya remembered Itachi's appearance as a child.

Itachi showed great talent before he entered the ninja school, and mastered the art of high fireball at the age of four.

At that time, the Night of the Kyuubi had not yet begun, and the fourth generation remembered this little Uchiha genius.

I thought that when Uchiha Itachi grows up, he will be trained by his side. As long as Uchiha Itachi can be trained to become a high-level person in the village, Uchiha will naturally integrate into the village.

Naruto was worried about Sasuke.

In his perception, Sasuke's chakra is not as good as Uchiha Itachi, and in the ninja world, chakra often represents strength. It is almost impossible for Sasuke to defeat Uchiha Itachi.

While everyone was talking, the genjutsu contest between Itachi and Sasuke was over.

The two of them panted and took a few steps back, looking at each other with solemn eyes. Uchiha Itachi was the first to mock:

"Sasuke, you have practiced well over the years, and your physical skills and genjutsu are almost as good as mine."

"But the most important thing about Uchiha is not Taijutsu and Genjutsu, but the evolutionary level of the Sharingan. Although your Sharingan has reached the level of three magatama, it is just useless in front of the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"I won't use the eye technique right away. I will let you slowly feel the difference of the Sharingan."

Before he finished speaking, Itachi started the ninjutsu attack. After making a seal with one hand, he successively performed ninjutsu such as Fire Style: Phoenix Fire and Fire Style: Great Fireball.

Although the level of these ninjutsu is not high, their lethality is quite good.

After several ninjutsu were performed, the sky-high flames obscured Sasuke's vision and blocked Sasuke's space to dodge. Once the fire style merged, Sasuke would be directly submerged by the flames.

At this critical moment, Sasuke made a seal with both hands and shouted: "Fire Style: Great Dragon Flame Song!"

In an instant, a fire dragon condensed out. The target of the fire dragon was not Uchiha Itachi, but the clouds in the sky.

Under the stimulation of high temperature, the layers of clouds suddenly became dark clouds, with thunder dragons rolling and roaring.

Three quarters of a second later, the lightning in the sky turned into a unicorn, pointing directly at Uchiha Itachi.

This is the highest level of Lightning Ninjutsu that Sasuke has mastered, Lightning Kirin!

The Lightning Kirin hit Uchiha Itachi at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to detect, making Uchiha Itachi's body black and emitting a burnt stench.

However, Uchiha Itachi did not fall down because of this, but activated Susanoo.

After the red chakra condensed and formed, it turned into Susanoo and enveloped Uchiha Itachi. Although Uchiha Itachi activated only half of Susanoo, it was still not to be underestimated with the blessing of the two artifacts.

Facing the attack of Susanoo, Sasuke did not dare to be careless.

After opening the Heaven's Curse Seal on his body, Sasuke also entered the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave. Although his Sage Mode was not perfect and there was a risk of losing consciousness, it was also very powerful.

With the power of the Sage Mode, Sasuke could barely fight against Susanoo.

After the battle between Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi entered a fierce stage, the Second Hokage also widened his eyes and said to Shisui and Orochimaru:

"It turns out that not only Kabuto Yakushi, but even Sasuke has learned the Sage Mode."

"No wonder you dare to let a kid with three magatama fight against the Mangekyō. It turns out that you know Sasuke has the Sage Mode. If he gets the Eternal Mangekyō, his strength may be close to Uchiha Madara."

Shisui and Orochimaru looked at the Second Hokage and said:

"If you want to fight against Byakuya and Uchiha Madara, you have to make more preparations. After all, those two are real monsters."

After a pause, the two looked at the silent man. The first Hokage asked, "Master, do you think that the Sage Mode plus the Mangekyō Sharingan can defeat Uchiha Madara?"

"Me?"

The first Hokage was slightly stunned, then spread his hands and said, "I don't know. Since I was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, I have been thinking about what to say to Uchiha Madara when I meet him? But after so much time has passed, I don't know if I can defeat him."

"As for the battle between Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi, my opinion is to let them shake hands and make peace. There is nothing that cannot be sat down and discussed. We can't let them kill their relatives."

The words of the first Hokage left the second generation, Shisui and others speechless.

If the first Hokage did not have the invincible strength, he would have died countless times just by relying on this innocence, but it was also the invincible strength that allowed the first Hokage to retain his innocence.

The first Hokage has absolute strength, so he can naturally formulate rules that suit him.

Seeing Sasuke's body covered with curse seals and a pair of wings on his back, Naruto was extremely surprised and said: "When did Sasuke learn the Sage Mode? Did he learn it with Brother Kabuto Yakushi?"

The Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya were also quite surprised, surprised at Sasuke's Sage Mode.

With their knowledge, they naturally couldn't see that Sasuke's Sage Mode was incomplete, but the Sage Modes of the two of them were also incomplete.

For ninjas, as long as they can master part of the Sage Mode, it is enough.

Kabuto Yakushi heard Naruto's sigh and shook his head:

"Sasuke has not mastered the Sage Mode. This is the power of the curse seal, and it is also the ultimate goal of Lord Orochimaru's experiment. He wants ordinary ninjas to master natural energy."

"Let ordinary ninjas master natural energy."

This time, not only the Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya were surprised, but even the Third Hokage was extremely shocked. He never thought that his student Orochimaru would have such ambitions.

At the same time, he also regretted that he did not correct Orochimaru in time.

If Orochimaru had taken the right path and studied the complete seal technique, the strength of Konohagakure would have been even stronger, and it would no longer be threatened by Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

Orochimaru seemed to notice the look of the Third Hokage, and he looked over at this moment.

He looked at the Third Hokage with indifference, and even sneered. He respected his teacher, the Third Hokage, but that didn't mean he could tolerate the rules of Konohagakure.

A person who follows the rules like the teacher, even if he really has some strange ideas, will be killed alive when there is only a hint.

After a battle that lasted for dozens of minutes.

The battle between Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi also came to an end. Both sides were somewhat exhausted due to excessive chakra consumption.

Not only Sasuke could not maintain the seal mode, but even Uchiha Itachi was unable to maintain Susanoo.

However, the two did not stop fighting, but resumed the most primitive way of fighting, each holding a kunai and starting to fight, leaving a hole on each other.

With the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh, Sasuke left a new wound on Itachi.

Then Sasuke pushed Itachi directly to the ground, put the kunai on Itachi's neck, and said coldly: "Itachi, if you speak now, are you stronger or am I stronger?"

"Don't you want to get my eyes? Do you have the ability to get them?"

Uchiha Itachi suddenly laughed, looked at Sasuke and said:

"Sasuke, although you have not activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, you finally have the strength to defeat me. I am very happy, because this proves that you can protect yourself."

"When I die, you can transplant my Sharingan. In this case, you can also have a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, serve the village with a clean identity, and bring honor to the clan."

"What do you mean? Do you want me not to kill you?"

Sasuke stared at Uchiha Itachi, his eyes full of vigilance: "Or are you still trying to provoke me and then take away my eyes when I am not prepared?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head and laughed at himself:

"Sasuke, I never wanted to kill you, and I never wanted to get your eyes. My goal from beginning to end was just to make you stronger."

"When Shisui controlled Danzo, I could admit my mistake and return to the family, but I refused. Firstly, my return would inevitably make the village fall into the hands of the family. Secondly, I want you to become stronger. "

"If you have been living under the protection of your parents, Shisui, and me, you will end up as a jounin in the future, without even planning to open the three magatama sharingan, and spend your life insignificant."

"But as long as I defect from the village, Shisui will not dare to attack the village. You can also live in hatred for me and use this hatred to continue to grow stronger until the kaleidoscope is turned on."

"Judging from your strength, my plan was successful. Unfortunately, you still didn't turn on the kaleidoscope. This makes me a little disappointed, but it may be that I didn't do it thoroughly enough."

"This is my brother's fault. I apologize to you..."

Uchiha Itachi's words made Sasuke completely lose control. Negative chakra surged out like a tide, converging in the direction of his eyes, and turned into a kaleidoscope in just an instant.

Looking at these kaleidoscopes that were similar to his own, Uchiha Itachi had a faint smile on his lips: "Finally, when you turn on the kaleidoscope, everything I told you is false...my stupid brother."

Then Uchiha Itachi stretched out his hands directly and reached towards Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke also noticed the strangeness of Uchiha Itachi and pressed down the kunai placed on Uchiha Itachi's neck.

Just before Sasuke was about to kill Uchiha Itachi, a short sword blocked Kunai. The ninja who struck was none other than Uchiha Shisui, who had been watching the show for a long time.
