Sudden Change

Chapter 215: Mutation

Uchiha Itachi had known this for a long time. His experience of going to the battlefield not long after he became sensible made him absolutely not inferior to many veteran top ninjas in terms of combat experience.

He had been observing Lin Ke's movements and was one of the people who understood how much this kid had become stronger.

With Uchiha Fugaku present, directly releasing Genjutsu would definitely backfire, so he had to save it for a critical moment.

Combined with the destructive power of Amaterasu—

His eyes suddenly froze. The Amaterasu that hit was still burning, and Lin Ke was still standing there. Even Bai next to him didn't seem to be hurt at all. If you looked closely, there was a layer of ice a few centimeters thick covering the two of them.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

The sound of ice melting was endless, but the ice layer in front of the two of them didn't seem to be getting thinner. Amaterasu needed to hit to be effective.

Is it the ability of that Ice Release ninja? Or...

Uchiha Itachi wasn't worried. Even if Amaterasu didn't succeed, he still had a next plan.

"Die!" Like a bolt of lightning, Uchiha Sasuke joined the battlefield, mercilessly stabbing his older brother's chest with a Chidori-infused hand.

Uchiha Itachi looked increasingly tired, but his expression was as indifferent as ever, and he dodged with the Body Flicker Technique.

With Lin Ke's help, his foolish younger brother's growth rate was astonishing, but he hadn't reached his level yet. Even with Chidori, it wouldn't work. Even if Kakashi himself came, he wouldn't be able to hit him, who had the Sharingan, with one blow.

The Executioner's Blade followed closely. Momochi Zabuza looked angry, the muscles in his arm holding the blade bulged, and his eyes seemed like a demon wanting to devour someone.

This guy... I can't dodge.

Uchiha Itachi judged the situation and took the initiative to stab with a Kunai in his hand, resisting the blade of the Executioner's Blade.

The Kunai was too short, and he couldn't launch other attacks in a hurry, so he could only choose the most disadvantageous head-on collision to buy himself time.

"Clang!" The friction of steel caused sparks to fly, and the edge of the Kunai broke on the spot in the next second.

However, the moment he bought was enough for him to lean back to avoid the attack, and then escape again, to find a way—

"Pfft!"

A Kunai pierced into his shoulder. Uchiha Fugaku seemed to be waiting for his son to come over and stood here in advance, easily becoming the first person to injure Uchiha Itachi in this battle.

"Thump!" Maki, who was about to throw the second Wind Blade, was taken down on the spot by a Sharingan · Genjutsu.

There was no way. The Sand Ninja Village's strategy for dealing with the Sharingan was to run away one-on-one and ambush two-on-one. There was no way to solve the Sharingan's Genjutsu.

"Huff~" Uchiha Itachi's breathing became much more rapid, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his face.

Uchiha Fugaku certainly didn't show mercy. He was going to kill his eldest son directly, but his son reacted, and the position of the Kunai was slightly off.

Let's end it, Itachi.

He thought so, but his body was slapped away by a huge orange, bony arm that suddenly appeared.

Uchiha Itachi's expression flickered for a moment, and his body obviously swayed slightly, but he quickly stabilized himself.

"Crack, crack, crack~" Lin Ke pulled Bai out from behind the still-burning Amaterasu. Without any obstructions, it could be seen that his body was covered with a layer of ice armor, exuding a chilling aura.

White Album, in the manga, the original owner's way of using it was to freeze out a suit of armor to prevent injury. The problem was that when the original owner died, a large amount of liquid could be clearly seen falling, which was basically a possession-type Stand, just like Purple Lover, which possessed hair, and could be seen by others with the naked eye.

He didn't need this kind of ice armor, so for the sake of concealment, he had never controlled White Album to form any defense. He only froze a layer of ice around him through physical contact when the Amaterasu distorted space.

The Amaterasu that could be thrown away by taking off clothes could naturally be briefly isolated by the ice layer.

"Ice Release?!" Bai stood next to him in a bit of astonishment, his expression becoming slightly complicated.

Lin Ke once again let the shadow block in front of him. He couldn't continue to be hit by Genjutsu. Even if the opponent looked like he was about to collapse, he couldn't be careless.

In the original brother battle, Uchiha Itachi, whose eyes had turned gray-white and whose Sharingan had automatically closed, could still use the third form of Susanoo and the divine weapon.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't overestimate himself and continue to charge alone. Instead, he woke up Maki, who was under Genjutsu. The three elite Jonin surrounded the enemy in a 'grade' shape, just like at the beginning.

The shadows also reorganized and blocked all the gaps in the encirclement.

Two Eight Gates Shadows approached Maki imperceptibly, preventing weak points from being broken through.

Utakata and Kisame Hoshigaki over there were still entangled. They were from the same village, and most of the Ninjutsu they were good at were Water Release. Both sides had a lot of fame and knew each other well.

Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't cut Chakra, and there was no way to win quickly in a conventional battle.

Utakata's own strength, without Tailed Beast transformation, isn't too far off from that of an average elite Jonin.

Both of them are the type with ample Chakra, throwing Water Release at each other in a lively exchange, making it impossible to determine a winner in the short term.

Taught by the same master, they can't break each other's moves.

"Lin Ke!" Uchiha Sasuke, failing to attack his brother, landed beside his friend, seemingly unaware as a Chidori pierced through Lin Ke's chest.

"?!!!" X5—"These little devils' shadows are getting stronger."

Black Zetsu emerged from the ground in the distance, watching the shadows that had clearly become a level stronger, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What's your relationship with them?"

White Zetsu suddenly asked, "Are you brothers?"

Black Zetsu's face darkened instantly.

White Zetsu, naturally unable to see the other half's expression, said with great interest, "Could it be that you can mix into the Shadow Secret Technique..."

"Shut up," Black Zetsu snapped, about to say something when he saw Amaterasu being used, his attention returning to the battlefield, "It's Amaterasu, if that brat doesn't use any other secret techniques, he should be dead for sure, as expected of Itachi."

"Ice Release, a power he used before." White Zetsu noticed a layer of ice between Amaterasu and Lin Ke's body acting as a barrier a bit faster, and said regretfully, "At this rate, Itachi's situation isn't optimistic, and Sasuke has arrived too."

"Ah, I really wanted to see the father and sons fight each other, instead of having other people getting in the way."

"Eh?!"

The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn. The newly arrived Sasuke actually pierced through Lin Ke's chest with a palm strike. As blood splattered, everyone and the dead were stunned. The next second, he knelt on the water in pain.

White reached out to press on Lin Ke's chest, trying to help.

Uchiha Fugaku turned around without hesitation, wanting to return to his second son's side, but Momochi Zabuza blocked his path with the Executioner's Blade. Maki stood alone, confronting Uchiha Itachi, his expression looking a bit comical.

Utakata in the distance rushed over frantically, his speed suddenly exploding, not even Kisame could stop him.

"Now, it's going to get lively." White Zetsu chuckled gleefully.

Black Zetsu watched with a sullen face. It vaguely felt that the Konoha Village brat was very likely not going to die. This guy had too many strange techniques. It had been monitoring him, and it seemed that the other party would deliberately avoid exposing information when alone, and would always pull out new tricks in every battle.

While it was pondering, the atmosphere in the field became very strange.

Kisame Hoshigaki landed not far away and said, "I finally got fired up, what a pity, it seems my battle with you will be temporarily interrupted."

He held the huge Samehada in one hand and said, "Itachi-san, it's really the first time I've seen you in such a mess."

Uchiha Itachi's shoulder was pierced by a Kunai, and blood was still dripping. The Black and Red Cloud Robe on his body was scratched and tattered in the tango with the Executioner's Blade, and his hair was slightly curled in the high temperature due to the Dragon Fire Technique constantly circling and killing the attacking shadows.

His body was extremely weak due to excessive consumption, and his Sharingan had already been turned off.

Akatsuki's Vermillion Bird, who had always been calm and composed, was now forced into such a state.

"Partner!" Hina ran over on all fours, with an anxious expression on her face. No matter how worried she was about being affected by the battle, she couldn't bear to see her owner being beaten to near death.

She even forgot to say her catchphrase 'Meow'.

Utakata's usually calm face revealed a visible, grim killing intent, "I'm going to kill you..."

This 'you' referred not only to the duo in front of him, but even Uchiha Sasuke, who was kneeling on the ground not far away.

Just as he was about to attack, Uchiha Fugaku stood in front of his second son and said in a deep voice, "It's a Genjutsu, Sasuke is caught in Itachi's Genjutsu, you..."

Tap. A hand pressed down on the arm holding the Kunai.

"Father..." Two lines of bloody tears hung on Uchiha Sasuke's cheeks as he stood up, the tomoe in his pupils spinning faster and faster, finally intertwining to form a very strange shape.

[So fast, when did Sasuke...]

Uchiha Fugaku was a little surprised, sensing that his second son's Chakra was not quite right.

[He actually broke Kotoamatsukami]

Uchiha Itachi's expression remained unchanged, but he was very surprised. After seeing the birth of the new Mangekyo Sharingan, his surprise turned into relief.

In any case, his younger brother finally had the ability to stand in front of 'Madara'. As long as he killed him next, he would be able to become a hero of Konoha Village.

The Six Tails Jinchuriki and that Ninja Cat are a problem that needs to be solved...

His thoughts suddenly stopped as he met Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, and everything before him quickly turned into darkness.

The Sharingan granted Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi were stripped away at this moment. After using the remaining Chakra to prop up the Susanoo, how long could he last in complete blindness? A new Mangekyo technique?!

In the last second before his vision disappeared, he saw Sasuke charging towards him, lightning flashing in his hand. He had no intention of dodging and stood there calmly.

The deep darkness gave him a long-lost peace. His lifeless eyes closed, so this is the end.

As for everything else, he had already tried his best.

The next second, his body was pierced through, and he leaned back from the immense force. There wasn't much pain as vitality and life were slowly drawn away, and eventually, even his consciousness sank into the bottomless darkness.

[Sorry, Sasuke]
