Chapter 362: The Uchiha Who Died Standing

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. The sky has been covered with dark clouds at some point, and it looks like it's going to rain heavily.

Breaking free from Amaterasu's burning, Sasuke immediately searched for Itachi's figure.

In just a few breaths, the wooden man and the wooden dragon were burned to ashes, which was enough to show how terrifying Amaterasu was.

The two men were panting and looking at each other from a distance across the black wall of fire. After the fierce battle just now, both sides were seriously injured.

Especially Itachi, there were two horrible blood marks flowing under his eyes, and he coughed up blood from the corners of his mouth from time to time. He looked very ill and seemed like he would collapse at the next moment.

On the other hand, although Sasuke also had many bruises and blood, he was obviously much better than Itachi.

Sasuke consumes chakra and physical strength, while Itachi consumes eye power and chakra.

The shock damage suffered by both of them was almost the same, but Itachi had a weak physique and a relapse of his old illness, which made him look even more miserable.

"You...you never thought this day would come! I...I said I would avenge my people with my own hands...!"

Sasuke said this fiercely while gasping for breath, but the hatred and murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest!

As he said this, his eyes widened and a gloating smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, making him look a little sick.

"Don't... don't be so proud! You haven't won yet, and it's still unknown who will win!"

Itachi, kneeling on one knee and covering one eye, spoke in the same intermittent manner. He really did not expect that Sasuke could push him to this extent.

Even if he died at this moment, he would be content, but he could still hold on, and he wanted to see where Sasuke's limit was. If it didn't work, the worst that could happen was that he would just crash into the opponent's gun.

"It's time for all this to end. It's a blessing for you to die here!"

After adjusting for a while, his physical strength had recovered a little, and the speed of chakra recovery was much faster than Itachi's.

However, the chakra still needs to be converted into fairy chakra, so this needs to be carefully considered next.

"Hehe...if you can do it, come on!"

Itachi also stood up, with a resolute tone, and tore off his tattered Akatsuki robe.

Even if he dies, he wants to teach his dear Ou Doudou another lesson: a trapped beast will still fight, and a brave one will win when two meet in a narrow road!

"Senjutsu. Lightning Release. Chidori!"

In Sage Mode, Sasuke used the Chidori, which he was best at, but it was different from the ordinary Chidori, as this Chidori was infused with Sage Chakra.

The last person who used this move was the Six Paths Sage, but the Chidori used by Sasuke was slightly different from the opponent's, and its power was much less.

But it should be enough to deal with the current Itachi.

Sasuke rushed towards Itachi quickly. When he was close to the black flame wall, he swung his wings behind him heavily, and the next moment his speed increased dramatically.

As long as Itachi doesn't let go, it won't be difficult to capture Sasuke.

"Amatras!"

Amaterasu appeared out of thin air and in the blink of an eye appeared in the direction Sasuke was moving. Itachi's Amaterasu was as fast as the speed of light.

No matter how Sasuke dodged left and right, he couldn't avoid his attack.

But Sasuke was not in a hurry. The lightning in his hand immediately wrapped around his body, bathing him in thunder. This was the Lightning Chakra mode.

After entering this state, Sasuke's movement speed increased again.

This time, even Itachi's Mangekyō couldn't keep up with his speed.

The excessive use of Amaterasu put a heavy strain on his eyes, and before long blood and tears began to flow again, and he had to close his eyes.

"good chance!"

Sasuke seized this opportunity and rushed to a distance of less than seven or eight meters from Itachi.

When he noticed that Itachi's eyelids were about to open again, he decisively threw the Chidori in his hand.

The Chidori that can be released without using hands is indeed a novel move, but Sasuke can clearly see Itachi raising his eyelids, and Itachi can also see Sasuke waving his arms.

His body retreated rapidly and Susanoo reappeared.

"Yasaka Magatama!"

A magatama energy attack was launched later but arrived first, and at the last moment Itachi was attached with Amaterasu's black flame, which was a bit similar to Sasuke's Kagutsuchi in the future.

The attacks from both sides exploded between the two men, and a strong shock wave hit them, pushing their bodies outwards.

When the smoke cleared, a bloody ball slowly unfolded. As soon as Sasuke saw the light of day again, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at the already broken black wings, this move really hurt him badly.

It was really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken. It was obvious that they suffered a great loss in this confrontation.

Itachi in the distance seemed to be relatively better off, with Susanoo's Yasakami firmly blocking in front of him. This attack didn't seem to cause much damage to him, but instead consumed one point of his eye technique.

However, he also shed blood from his mouth, and the Susanoo behind him disappeared immediately, because his Mangekyō directly degenerated into three magatama, and flashes of darkness appeared before his eyes.

His body was half-kneeling on the ground due to the heavy burden, so he had to bite his tongue to stimulate himself and stay awake.

"I... don't believe you can still use Susanoo! This time, you will definitely... die!"

After speaking incoherently, Sasuke could no longer maintain the Sage Mode. His body's chakra was almost exhausted, and the efficiency of converting natural energy was very low.

The main reason was that he was not proficient in the control of Sage Mode and Wood Release, otherwise he could have smashed Itachi's Susanoo with just one Buddha Move, and so much chakra would not have been wasted in vain.

He was in such a state himself, he didn't believe Itachi could be much better than him. Even if the other party's chakra could be used as two, there was a limit after all.

Just from the fleeting Susanoo just now and the three magatama now, we can infer most of it.

"I have to use that trick, otherwise I'll lose everything if I make a mistake!"

Thinking of this, Sasuke endured the severe pain all over his body and squeezed out all the chakra he had just recovered.

"Chidori!"

This time he only used an ordinary Chidori, but it was enough for him.

With a little force on his feet, he quickly reached the top of the high wall of the shrine.

"Accept your trial, one against seven! This day next year will be your memorial day!"

Before he finished speaking, he pointed the Chidori in his hand towards the sky, like a Chidori sharp spear piercing diagonally into the dark clouds, and the lightning in his hand echoed the lightning in the sky.

"What does he want to do?"

"Has he already achieved the ability to control lightning?"

White Zetsu and Black Zetsu looked at this scene in surprise and doubt. If it was really as they guessed, it would be too shocking. This guy had such strength at such a young age. Uchiha Madara was probably no more than that!

Not only them, but even Itachi thought of this, but he no longer had much room for resistance.

And he didn't plan to struggle any more. He was very relieved that Sasuke could do this.

But it was impossible for him to just wait for death quietly! He wanted to see how powerful Sasuke's last trump card was.

"There are only Uchiha who die standing, but no Uchiha who live on his knees!"

The words that Uchiha Fugaku had said to him emerged in his mind. At this moment, he seemed to understand his father's willingness to fulfill his wish for the dignity of Uchiha.

Slowly closing his eyes, a tear mixed with blood slid down from the corner of his eye...

"Father, Mother! Sasuke has grown up, and it's time for me to apologize to you!"

As he closed his eyes, chakra came from nowhere, and Susanoo appeared behind him again, and it was in its complete form.

Seeing Susanoo appearing in front of him like a mountain, Sasuke's pupils shrank slightly, and he gritted his teeth to squeeze out the last bit of chakra in his body.

"Even if you have the power to reach the sky, you will die here!"

Sasuke's eyes were bloodshot and he roared at Itachi in front of him, showing his murderous intent at the moment.

"The Secret of Lightning Escape: Lightning Welcome!"

As his voice fell, the swirling dark clouds in the sky took shape, and a pitch-black thunder ball like a small meteorite pressed down towards Susanoo below!
