Chapter 550 Kabuto’s counterattack
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Itachi's current embarrassing situation, Kabuto laughed even more unscrupulously.
"Why, are you still hesitating? Between your brother and your fellow villagers, who will you let die?"
"Is it his beloved brother and his companions from the same village, or is he choosing to sacrifice himself so that both of them can survive?"
"If you have to make a decision, you have to be quick, otherwise neither of them will survive."
Although his attack was sudden, with Itachi's strength, there was no problem at all if he wanted to save Sasuke and one of Anko.
I just don’t know who he will choose in the end.
As for Itachi sacrificing himself to save Anko and Sasuke, he never considered this possibility at all.
"Hehehe! I have carefully prepared the offensive, don't let me down, Uchiha Itachi!"
"I'm going to disappoint you!"
Replied coldly, Itachi's eyes were fixed on the stalagmites that started to fall, and he exerted force under his feet, like a sharp arrow off the string, shooting in the direction of Sasuke.
"Did you really choose your younger brother?"
Kabuto was not surprised at all by Itachi's choice. There was no reason to say that there was a difference between closeness and distance.
"but…"
The corners of Kabuto's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"How can it be so simple?"
"Water Escape·Water Breaking Wave"
What he was waiting for was that when Itachi went to rescue his brother, he would let this opportunity pass.
He put his hands together and spit out a white high-pressure water line from his mouth. Turning his head, this slender water line cut through the rock on the cave wall and cut towards the Weasel in the air.
What's even more troublesome is that his target is not only Itachi, but also Sasuke, who is lying on the spot, motionless.
"I should have known so!"
Itachi was not surprised at all by Kabuto's attack.
The other party deliberately created such a dilemma, and it would be unreasonable for him to just watch him rescue Sasuke.
A layer of red chakra floated on his body, and a loud "boom" sound came. The red giant skeleton exuded a dazzling light, making Kabuto, who was staring closely at Itachi's figure, have to squint his eyes.
"Is this Itachi's Susanoo?"
Facing that bright light, Kabuto was greatly shocked when he saw the other party directly ignoring his Shui Duanbo.
"However, it's not like I'm unprepared!"
When he was in the Earth Kingdom, he had seen the battle between Orochimaru and Toshiro. Although he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, he was not unaware of how difficult Susanoo was.
The big mouth opened, and in Kabuto's mouth, a long and smooth tongue continued to stretch and lengthen. It was like a steel cable piercing Sasuke's head.
In order to avoid Itachi's Susan, he changed directions and turned several times in succession, which was deft and slippery, fully demonstrating the advantages of his ninjutsu.
At the same time, before opening his mouth, his hands began to form seals quickly.
"Water Release·Hard Vortex Water Blade"
The streams of water around him gathered together, twisting, rotating, and compressing, eventually forming a long, constantly rotating water blade.
Just from the appearance, there is no difference at all from a spear.
"It's really...heavy!"
It was difficult to make a throwing motion. This 'spear' was only four or five meters long and only as thick as an arm in diameter. It was very heavy.
Just throwing it took all the strength of Kabuto, causing his body hanging on the top of the cave to sway involuntarily.
"go!"
Throwing the water blade in the direction of Itachi, Kabuto said with emotion.
"The Nidaime Hokage's water escape is really not something that ordinary people can use!"
Kabuto's eyes shone brightly when he saw the water blade aimed at Susanoo's back like a crossbow arrow.
"However, the power should not disappoint."
This is the most powerful and penetrating ninjutsu he can perform. If this couldn't break Susana's defense, he would consider using Sage Mode.
"That's too late!"
Glancing at the long tongue that was about to approach Sasuke, and the water blade behind him that was full of chakra in the Sharingan, Itachi looked solemn.
If he defended himself against the ninjutsu behind him, it would be too late to save Sasuke.
If I remember correctly, this ninjutsu was developed by the second generation Hokage. It is a ninjutsu with superb attack ability, especially its penetrating power, which is terrifying.
The most troublesome thing is that he can't deal with this ninjutsu with all his strength now, because the situation on Sasuke's side is urgent.
A huge red arm stretched out, and with the sound of "click-click" joint movement, the skull-shaped Susan made a fist with one hand and smashed it behind him.
"It's indeed amazingly powerful!"
Looking at Susan's fist, it kept making a "sizzling" cutting sound, like a high-speed turning head, spinning the hard vortex water blade that was pressing in inch by inch.
Itachi knew that Susan alone in his skeleton form could not stop this ninjutsu, its penetrating power was too strong.
Fortunately, his main purpose was not to block this ninjutsu.
As the hard vortex water blade continued to rotate, cut, and penetrate, finally, a "booming" explosion sounded, followed by water splashing.
"Tsk!"
"As expected of the 'Sharingan Itachi', he actually used other people's attacks to achieve his own goals."
Seeing Itachi, using the impact of the hard vortex water blade, he controlled the huge Susan and flew to Sasuke's side at an astonishing speed.
Kabuto couldn't help but admire that this Uchiha Itachi was really a genius. Insight and decision-making are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If one does not control the angle and defense well, causing Susano's defense to collapse, his life will be in danger.
"But it's a pity that you can only save one!"
"Hehehe, I wonder if watching your companions from the same village die in front of you will make you feel guilty!"
Although Itachi rushed to his brother's side one step ahead and used Susano to block the falling stalagmite and his tongue, Anko on the other side was not so lucky.
"Yeah?"
Itachi replied coldly, without any unnecessary expression, and looked steadily at Susana's fist.
There, the fist composed of chakra was in tatters and was regenerating rapidly, returning to its original appearance.
"The Nidaime Ninjutsu is truly amazingly powerful!"
The hard vortex water blade just now had pierced Susan's fist, and then hit Susan's body. Fortunately, he urgently strengthened Susan's defense.
Even so, Susan's ribs were covered with fine cracks. Even from the corners of his eyes, there was a trace of scarlet blood dripping down.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Itachi felt that this ninjutsu was very targeted.
Not to mention that there are a lot of ninjutsu seals, even when used, the ninja needs to be thrown out, and it looks very difficult when throwing.
It was as if it was specially developed to fight targets like Susan who were too big to dodge flexibly.
