Noticing that the crow carrying Shisui's other Mangekyō Sharingan had vanished, Gensou remained expressionless.
It wasn't until a single leaf slowly fell between them, momentarily obscuring their view of each other.
Gensou's hands blurred as he rapidly formed hand seals:
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"
Itachi, whose hand seal speed was no slower than Gensou's, mirrored the action.
In an instant, two massive fireballs erupted from their mouths, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air as they collided head-on.
Boom!
The raging flames clashed and spread outward in all directions.
Under the intense heat, even the surrounding plants and trees, though untouched by the flames, began to wither as their moisture was rapidly evaporated.
Fueled by chakra, the two fireballs continued to clash, neither giving an inch.
However, it wasn't long before Gensou's fireball, crafted with his greater mastery over fire nature chakra, began to overpower Itachi's.
Noticing this, Itachi's eyes narrowed, and he decided not to waste any more effort. Boom!
Itachi's fireball was eventually dispersed.
Gensou's fireball continued its aggressive advance.
Itachi flickered out of the fireball's path just in time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A barrage of shuriken followed immediately, leaving no room to breathe.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing filled the air.
Itachi quickly drew a kunai with his right hand, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning rapidly as he deflected every incoming shuriken with pinpoint accuracy. His kunai pierced through the center of each shuriken, collecting them in one swift motion.
Before the next wave of shuriken could arrive, Itachi's fingers flicked, sending all the
collected shuriken flying back like a deadly scattershot.
As he effortlessly deflected the next barrage of shuriken, Itachi's hands once again moved swiftly into a series of hand seals.
"Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni!"
Multiple fireballs erupted from his mouth, enveloping the shuriken he had just launched, spiraling towards Gensou.
Seeing this, Gensou also drew a kunai, infusing it with Raiton chakra, extending the blade with a sharp arc of lightning.
As the flaming shuriken approached, Gensou swung the kunai, the lightning cutting through the flames and shuriken effortlessly.
Itachi remained unfazed, his empty fingers giving a slight twitch. The ten nearly invisible steel wires, which he had attached to the shuriken earlier, tightened suddenly, causing the shuriken that Gensou had deflected to whip back towards him from all directions.
Gensou, who had been about to advance, had to halt his movement.
After dismantling the trap surrounding him, he looked up to find that Itachi had already closed the distance.
Smack!
A hand, painted with dark purple nail polish and adorned with the Suzaku ring on the ring finger, reached swiftly for Gensou's wrist, which held the kunai with the lightning blade.
Gensou stepped back with his right foot, retracting his hand and then thrusting it forward again, aiming to stab Itachi's outstretched hand.
Itachi pivoted just in time, allowing the kunai to graze past him, while his other hand darted out like an eagle, aiming for Gensou's throat.
In response, Gensou clenched his left fist and swung it forward.
Thud!
The sound of fist meeting palm echoed.
Seizing the moment, Itachi suddenly kneed Gensou, targeting the side where Gensou only had one Mangekyō Sharingan, forcing him to lose sight of the attack. The blow sent the kunai
flying from Gensou's hand.
Despite this, Gensou remained unfazed. If Itachi wanted to fight, he would fight.
The sound of fists and feet colliding filled the air.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
One clash followed another, their movements so fast that they became blurs, striking each other from angles impossible to predict.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, large trees crashed to the ground under the force of their battle, while cracks and craters formed along their path.
Smack! Smack!
Finally, as Gensou caught Itachi's attacking hand, Itachi also managed to grab the fist Gensou had thrown at him, causing the two to pause for a brief moment.
Their eyes met.
In the next instant, the battle resumed.
Lightning surged from Gensou's hand as he quickly thrust it forward, piercing through the
figure of Itachi before him.
Gwaa gwaa gwaa~~
Dozens of crows emerged from the torn body of Itachi.
At the same time, the real Itachi appeared above the crow clone, flipping his hand and launching three kunai infused with razor-sharp Futon chakra straight at Gensou below.
"When did he summon the crow clone?" Gensou wondered, quickly retreating while trying to
figure it out.
The battle had been intense, and Itachi had been within his line of sight the entire time, leaving no opportunity for forming new hand seals.
But there was no time to dwell on it.
The swarm of crows not only didn't disperse but also rushed forward, completely obscuring
Gensou's vision.
Gensou raised his hand, ready to strike them all down with lightning.
Without a sound, Itachi appeared at Gensou's side.
Boom!
Gensou was blasted backward, crashing into the nearby hillside.
Crack! Crack!
Web-like cracks spread out from the point where Gensou had impacted the hillside.
"Things... seem to be getting out of hand," Gensou realized something was amiss and was about to break free from the hillside.
Suddenly, a fist struck him hard in the chest, and another hand clamped around his throat.
Itachi appeared before Gensou again, speaking calmly:
"I'm taking back the Mangekyō Sharingan that doesn't belong to you."
With that, Itachi's free hand reached out and deftly extracted the Mangekyō Sharingan
belonging to Shisui from behind Gensou's mask, placing it into a container filled with
nutrient solution.
"Next, it's your life."
Itachi's grip on Gensou's throat tightened, ready to end it all.
Just then, Gensou, whose right eye had turned into a bloody cavity, suddenly smiled, raised
his head to look at Itachi, and said calmly:
"You've really gone all out to reduce Tsukuyomi to such a state."
Hearing this, Itachi paused his actions.
