War!
Uchiha Itachi stood on the water, not in a hurry to attack, just staring at the appearing dead with his Sharingan, looking rather tired.
He allowed Lin Ke to toss out the scroll containing the ninja tools for the three dead to use, letting Maki and Uchiha Fugaku surround him.
"Hoo~"
As Momochi Zabuza formed hand seals, mist rose, and his voice became erratic:
"The Sharingan is indeed powerful, but... what can a Sharingan that can't see do?"
Before his words faded, the Executioner's Blade silently slashed towards Uchiha Itachi's neck.
"Flutter~"
Substitution Jutsu, you really underestimate me—
On the other side, Momochi Zabuza's main body had already swung his blade again.
"Bang!"
Uchiha Itachi twisted his body, kicking the Demon Man's thigh, using the force to lean back and avoid the blade.
The Executioner's Blade felt weightless in Momochi Zabuza's hands, pausing slightly before slashing down diagonally.
The two danced like tango partners, one advancing as the other retreated, each entangled at a very delicate distance, never touching each other again.
A slight mistake would mean eternal damnation.
Even while dancing on the edge of a blade, Uchiha Itachi remained calm, without any change in his breathing, heartbeat, or expression.
Maki and Uchiha Fugaku could only watch from the sidelines as the two Taijutsu 9s fought in close combat, with no room to intervene.
Moreover, they were shrouded in the Hidden Mist Technique. Uchiha Fugaku was better off, able to observe through his Sharingan, and his own Taijutsu level was decent.
Maki's Taijutsu was only 7, and he wasn't a sensory ninja, lacking any special detection abilities to break through the Hidden Mist Technique. Plus, he hadn't decided whether to help desperately, so he just stood there watching, unsure of what to do.
"Hoo!"
Uchiha Fugaku suddenly spat out a mouthful of Fire Release, burning away a lot of the mist, and then he used the Body Flicker Technique to rush towards Lin Ke.
"Whoosh!" Several Shuriken streaked through the air, arcing towards Lin Ke.
The shadows tried to block, and the steel wire shimmering in the sunlight pulled, rolled, and tugged, cutting off the heads of a row of shadows like mowing grass.
The Eight Gates Shadows silently changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, attacking Uchiha Itachi at an extremely fast speed.
A speed similar to that of Might Guy in his normal state meant that the speed stat had reached the maximum value of 10, which was still far from many freaks, but in front of the seriously ill Uchiha Itachi, it could no longer be considered a miscellaneous soldier that could be instantly killed with Taijutsu skills.
How fast!
Uchiha Itachi thought, taking a deep breath and spewing out flames.
The flames flowed along the steel wire, and as he tugged his finger, the flame-covered steel wire seemed to come to life, spiraling and rotating, wrapping around the two Eight Gates Shadows.
To avoid being directly beheaded, the two shadows directly chose to become two-dimensional, their bodies turning into a pool of ink and falling down, avoiding the attack while being unable to continue attacking for a short time.
At least not until they had completely completed the two-dimensional transformation.
The fire line circled around Uchiha Itachi's body, and then was thrown out again, instantly killing large swaths of shadows that tried to stop him from advancing.
Lin Ke's vision suddenly cleared up a lot, and the shadows quickly filled the gaps.
He can actually use Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique to this extent?!
Maki exclaimed in his heart, not daring to be too negligent, and rushed over, the invisible Wind Blade in his hand condensing. After all, his relationship with Lin Ke was still pretty good, and without concrete evidence that the other party had fallen out with the Sand Ninja Village, he couldn't completely ignore the kid's life or death.
"Ka~ Ka~ Ka~"
A dozen ice mirrors suddenly rose from the water, firmly surrounding Lin Ke, and Momochi Zabuza, not far away, also carried his heavy Executioner's Blade back to rescue.
Uchiha Itachi, who was blocked by the shadows, could not reach Lin Ke's side, not to mention the extra protection.
The three elite Jonin followed closely behind, about to jointly attack and kill the enemy.
With their combat experience, there would be no blunders in their cooperation.
Seemingly a dead end, Lin Ke frowned. He didn't think Uchiha Itachi could be forced into a desperate situation by three elite Jonin. Moreover, this guy had been showing signs of fatigue from just now until now, as if he had consumed a lot of Chakra in advance...
"Bang!"
The Dragon Fire Technique that was still flying was cut off by the Wind Blade, the Executioner's Blade was close at hand, and the Kunai thrown by Uchiha Fugaku was absolutely impossible to miss.
"Boom!"
Before the attack reached its target, it was blocked by huge orange-yellow ribs that appeared out of nowhere. The extremely sharp Wind Blade only left a shallow scar on the ribs, and the Executioner's Blade also failed to achieve any merit. The Kunai thrown by Uchiha-style Ninja Tool Throwing was broken on the spot.
[This is?!]
Uchiha Fugaku's pupils shrank, recognizing this legendary secret technique belonging to the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Susanoo!
Lin Ke retreated wildly under the cover of the shadows, and the Substitution Jutsu he had prepared long ago firmly protected himself.
Just kidding, his Chakra Scalpel can cut through materialized Chakra, and it is definitely a special attack against Susanoo, but Uchiha Itachi is not a player who can casually open a Gundam to fight the enemy.
This guy's Chakra reserves are completely insufficient to support him playing Gundam head-on, so he often uses it to resist damage for the next attack, or he is preparing to cheat and release unreasonable artifacts to disgust people.
He doesn't need to put himself in danger.
Just as he was retreating wildly, other people's Chakra flowed into his body, and the world in front of him shattered into pieces. Bai's anxious voice sounded: "Lin Ke!"
[Genjutsu?!]
Lin Ke came back to his senses and realized that when Uchiha Itachi closed the distance, while fighting the three elite Jonin, he could still use his finger to cast Genjutsu on him from such a distance—
He didn't look at this guy's eyes the whole time.
Most likely, when he released the Dragon Fire Technique and forced the two Eight Gates Shadows to turn back into two-dimensional figures, a large area of shadows was eliminated, thus exposing his vision for a moment.
Did he complete the Genjutsu in just that moment? Genjutsu is so terrifying.
Lin Ke estimates that his Genjutsu level, including dispelling Genjutsu, is only about 6, which is at the passing line. It's okay to deal with ordinary ninjas, and it's enough to dispel Genjutsu against Orochimaru, but it's difficult to fight against Uchiha, and it's even more impossible to deal with Genjutsu freaks like Itachi.
Fortunately, no matter what, with today's Stand, he can resist one or two of the next attacks as long as they are not Genjutsu.
The space twisted slightly, and black flames descended, covering his and Bai's bodies.
"Huff~"
Uchiha Itachi landed on the water, panting, his expression even more tired. One eye closed, blood flowing out, and the other eye did not look at the one person and one ghost covered by Amaterasu, but looked up at the Crow flying not far away.
[The plan...]
