415 chapter

"jittery"

Sasuke headed straight ahead, and the blurred figure darted out from where it was. Wherever it passed, the thunder in his left hand kept pouring out, rolling up gravel and leaves, leaving a trail on the ground. Irregular marks.

With the blessing of the Lightning Chakra, Sasuke's speed reached an astonishing level, within a few breaths, he crossed the distance between himself and the blurry figure.

"chi"

Approaching the target, the Gouyu in Sasuke's blood-red eyes trembled violently, once again locked Itachi's figure, and then he pushed out his left hand without hesitation, in the shape of a stab.

At this moment, the ninjutsu in Sasuke's palm shone to the extreme, and the thunder raged crazily towards the surroundings, spreading like a spider's web, tearing apart most of the smoke.

Sasuke suddenly raised his eyes and stared straight ahead, he did feel the touch of hitting an object in his palm, but he still couldn't believe it.

Immediately afterwards, he saw his left hand pass through Itachi's chest, and because of the violent Lightning Dunk Chakra, no blood flowed from Itachi's wound.

Itachi stared at Sasuke calmly, the corners of his mouth that were dripping with blood gradually raised, and chuckled: "Sasuke has really grown up."

"Brother" Sasuke never thought that with his own level, even the Chidori used at full strength could hit his brother, his face trembled and his eyes showed shock.

However, this emotion only lasted for a moment. Sasuke mentally denied all his previous emotions. He calmed down for a moment and murmured: "How could I hit my brother?"

He immediately closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, and began to check the flow of chakra in his body.

"Illusion"

Things were just as Sasuke predicted in advance, the scene where his ninjutsu penetrated his brother's chest was just an illusion.

Although he didn't notice how he fell into Itachi's illusion before, but because of his understanding of his brother's methods, Sasuke never felt the slightest strangeness.

So, he began to gather the chakra in his body, trying to break Itachi's illusion.

In the depths of the dark forest, the scene of Chidori raging still persisted. Standing in front of Sasuke, Itachi grabbed the wrist of the latter's left hand with his right hand. On Sasuke's palm, the Thunder Dunk chakra hadn't completely disintegrated.

Itachi calmly stared at Sasuke who had fallen into the illusion. After about a while, Sasuke's brows began to wrinkle, and the expression on his small face looked a little dignified.

After a few more seconds, Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, and the look in his pair of black and bright pupils became slightly gloomy, and dense sweat gradually oozes from his forehead.

Casting Chidori twice in a short period of time, and then successfully dispelling Itachi's illusion, Sasuke's physical strength, chakra, and energy have reached critical points.

Sasuke was panting heavily, his eyelids were slightly drooping, and he looked at Itachi, with a bitter smile on his face, and his voice was a little short due to his fast breathing: "Sure enough, I'm still far behind."

He knew in his heart that although Itachi promised him that it was a real battle, in terms of Itachi's strength, Sasuke was able to use shuriken and ninjutsu twice, all because of Itachi's release.

"Take your time, your speed of progress is already quite astonishing." Itachi evaluated Sasuke's performance rationally, without any consolation because he was his younger brother.

Although compared horizontally, there is an obvious gap in the level of strength between the current Sasuke and his former self at the same age, but after all, the two are in different eras.

Not to mention the factor of rebirth, for Itachi, since he graduated from ninja school at the age of six, most of the tasks he has experienced since then are real battles.

And Sasuke graduated from Ninja School in just nine months. In terms of his growth span during this period, he is not inferior to Itachi himself, and even surpasses it.

Shuriken, Taijutsu, and the method of dispelling illusions were all taught by Itachi to Sasuke, so it is very clear to Itachi how much progress he has made compared to before.

Moreover, Sasuke also mastered the high-level killing skill of Chidori.
