Chapter 253 Sasuke, the Sasuke Who Offers His Head as a Gift, vs. the Uchiha
"It really is you, Uchiha Itachi..."
With a whoosh, Sasuke appeared with an almost roaring growl, lunging at Ishikawa from his side, his eyes flashing crimson as the three tomoe spun rapidly, filled with overwhelming hatred!
"Three-tomoe Sharingan? My foolish little brother, is this the confidence you had to charge in like this?" A hint of surprise flashed in Itachi's eyes, but on the surface he remained indifferent and disdainful.
"Enough with the nonsense! I'm going to avenge everyone here today, die! Chidori..." Sasuke's anger intensified upon hearing this, and his hands rapidly formed hand seals, lightning raging in his palms as a thousand birds cried out.
[Oh no, Erzhuzi is about to be delivered to his death!] Ishikawa's pupils contracted upon seeing this, his right eye rapidly forming hand seals, and the long sword behind him instantly unleashed a lightning arrow, striking first...
[What? No hand seals!] Itachi, who was about to reach out and grab Sasuke's wrist, changed his expression slightly and took a deep look at Ishikawa before stepping away from his spot.
In a flash, Ishikawa appeared beside Sasuke, his body crackling with electric arcs like white and blue lightning, and grabbed his shoulder.
“I understand how you feel right now, but that guy is, after all, Konoha’s S-rank rogue ninja, Itachi Uchiha. He’s not someone you can deal with.”
"No, you don't understand my hatred at all. Senior brother, this is a grudge between him and me, please don't interfere!" Sasuke roared angrily, his eyes wide open, and he instantly activated his lightning chakra, charging forward again.
"That idiot." Ishikawa was speechless and immediately turned to Karin, "Send a signal, you guys hold that guy back. Be careful, that guy is Kisame Hoshigaki, an S-rank rogue ninja from Kirigakure."
"Hold me back? Hehehe, you know my identity and you're still so confident? Well then, I'll let you taste the power of Samehada!" Kisame grinned, and with a flick of his wrist, the bandaged Samehada erupted in a ferocious laugh.
"One cough..." Despite the immense pressure of facing an S-rank rogue ninja, Jiro gritted his teeth and swung his sword without hesitation.
Taro quickly formed hand seals, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique..."
"Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Technique..." Karin raised her hand and launched a signal flare into the air at high speed. She formed hand seals and created seven clones, each wielding a Rasengan.
At the same moment, as Karin and her two companions moved, Sasuke once again charged forward with Chidori in hand.
Although he also had the Sharingan with its three tomoe for insightful observation, his lack of experience and eye power allowed Itachi to seize the opportunity to restrain his wrist and kill Chidori. "Bang!!"
Almost simultaneously with grabbing Sasuke, Itachi delivered a powerful punch to Sasuke's stomach without hesitation, causing Sasuke's eyes to bulge and his defenses to crumble instantly.
"No, no way, how could this be? They're clearly the same eyes..."
Sasuke murmured in disbelief, his pride and confidence crushed under Itachi's feet in that instant.
He thought he could catch up by taking advantage of Itachi's carelessness and not using the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the cruel reality still gave him a blow!
"Sasuke, I admit your strength has improved a bit, but only a bit. The gap between us is no different from before, you ugly guy."
"So, why are you so weak? Hmm, that's right, it's because your hatred for me isn't strong enough..."
"Because of this, you can't have eyes like mine! So as your older brother, I'll show you the ultimate eye technique of the Sharingan once again."
Uchiha Itachi's expression was ashen and his tone was cold as he spoke, the three tomoe in his pupils transforming into a windmill pattern as he spoke...
"Stop spouting nonsense here. Konoha is not a place for you to run wild!"
In the blink of an eye, just as Itachi was about to unleash Tsukuyomi to give his younger brother a profound memory, Ishikawa appeared in a flash, his long sword pointing directly at Itachi's back.
In a flash, Itachi Uchiha turned around sharply, his eyes sweeping over Ishikawa. "Anbu, don't bother me while I'm disciplining my brother."
The Sharingan genjutsu was activated instantly through the pupil. Just when Itachi thought he had everything under control, he saw that the right eye under the mask of the Anbu behind him was tightly closed, while the left eye was bright red.
Without the slightest pause, the sharp longsword in his hand flashed white light and pierced straight into his back with lightning speed...
"What?!"
Instantly, the distraught Sasuke was taken aback by what he saw.
Looking at Ishikawa with a mixture of shock and surprise, he never expected that his senior brother could ignore Itachi's genjutsu and severely injure him.
"What kind of eye technique is that in your left eye? You didn't fall for my Sharingan genjutsu when you made eye contact with me??" Uchiha Itachi, however, remained calm and glanced sideways, looking at Sasuke's ANBU senior brother for the first time.
"Who said I made eye contact with you just now?" Ishikawa pursed his lips, neither confirming nor denying. With the 270° field of vision of his red eyes, he didn't need to make eye contact with his Sharingan to see all of the other person's movements.
This is also an important reason why the Byakugan can be immune to Sharingan genjutsu; without eye contact, even the strongest Sharingan cannot activate visual genjutsu.
Of course, this is only to prevent visual illusions; it doesn't mean Ishikawa won't fall for other illusions.
Otherwise, Ishikawa wouldn't have gone to find Shukaku to truly make up for his weakness in illusion magic.
Seeing the surprised look on Itachi Uchiha's face, Ishikawa didn't explain and simply withdrew his long sword. "Sasuke, leave this to me. You go and help them deal with that guy."
They were still too inexperienced to face Kisame Karin. Even with Karin's Shadow Clone Jutsu and Rasengan, plus the three of them working together seamlessly, they were still in grave danger!
"Give it to you? Itachi has already... wait, he's not bleeding." Sasuke said subconsciously, and before he could finish speaking, Itachi's body suddenly turned into crows and scattered.
"Crow clone!!" Sasuke blurted out again, the three tomoe in his eye sockets rapidly rotating as he looked around.
"Go over there and help. Don't worry, reinforcements will arrive soon, and you'll be able to fight him." Ishikawa instructed in a deep voice, his body crackling with electricity as he swung his sword and lunged at the reconstructed Uchiha Itachi.
"Hmph, let's defeat that guy first!" Sasuke gritted his teeth, turned around, and charged towards Kisame, his hands rapidly forming hand seals. "Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique..."
With a series of breaths, four fire dragons erupted from Sasuke's mouth, attacking Kisame from four directions, causing Itachi and Kisame to change color simultaneously.
[Sasuke, how come he knows this lost Uchiha Fire Release technique?]
[Is this Itachi's younger brother? Three-tomoe Sharingan and this kind of fire release... As expected, this guy is just as outstanding as his brother, a genius of the Uchiha clan.]
At the same time, Itachi and Kisame were both surprised and exclaimed in surprise. Kisame's hands moved with lightning speed, forming hand seals, "Water Release: Water Wall..."
"You're still looking around while fighting me? You're such a caring older brother. So, did you come back for Sasuke? Or for some other purpose?" After another slash that missed its target, Ishikawa looked at the crows flying around and probed.
Although he knew more about Akatsuki than Itachi, he needed a source of information to report to the Hokage.
This is perfect opportunity to divert Kakashi's attention and make him temporarily abandon the search for Anbu Rin!
"Behind you is the organization codenamed 'Akatsuki,' isn't it..."
