After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

Otogakure,

Back mountain waterfall.

"Such powerful lightning escape, physical skills and speed can actually appear at the same time in an ordinary graduate of Konoha Ninja School! It's unbelievable... I can only say that he is worthy of being valued by Kong Chen and accepted as a disciple..."

While Kisame was filled with shock, Itachi at least managed to remain calm.

After a moment's confrontation, he calmly changed his finger prints continuously, raised his head, opened his mouth and spit out a huge orange fireball in one go.

"Fire Release - The art of powerful fireball!"

"The fire escape that can't kill others can't kill me either." Yin Zhu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, drew out a simple-looking double-edged sword from the void, and swung it casually.

The fireball with a diameter of several meters was instantly split into two.

Perhaps knowing that Yin Zhu's strength was difficult to deal with, after spitting out a fire escape to no avail, Itachi did not make any further moves. He just stared at Yin Zhu with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to remember his face firmly in his mind.

"The past is no longer important."

He said calmly, "Why did you appear in Konoha and kill my people, and how did you obtain two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan? I can ignore it."

"But..." Itachi's expression suddenly became gloomy. He stared at Yinzhu and said word by word with gritted teeth, "It's ok for you to attack Konoha, but why did you attack Sasuke!!!"

"funny."

Yin Zhu snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You brother-supporting demon, use your brain to think about it. What is there about your brother that is worthy of my coveting? The Sharingan with a single and a pair of magatama together only has three magatama?"

Itachi gritted his teeth, not sure whether to be happy or angry about this statement.

"But Konoha said Sasuke was taken away by you!"

Yin Zhu's face darkened, "Konoha, Konoha! Whatever Konoha says is true. Since you know that I'm a ninja who defected from Konoha, don't you know what kind of people the Konoha leaders are like?"

chi chi-

As he spoke, Yin Zhu's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he suddenly appeared behind Itachi.

"He chased me all the way and begged me to accept him as my disciple. Is this what Konoha meant by taking him away by me? Where is your brain, Itachi?!" As the faintly sarcastic voice fell, a black palm whizzed down with great momentum, instantly tearing through the air and bursting out a sharp wave of air.

Itachi looked startled and turned around instantly.

He pulled out the kunai and it collided with the big hand under the Yinzhu cover, making a crisp and pleasant sound of metal clashing.

Itachi's body shook, and he deflected the kunai blade to absorb the huge impact force, then stepped back several steps.

He frowned and looked at Yinzhu, wanting to confirm something, "You accepted Sasuke as your disciple?"

Yin Zhu raised a cold smile, "Do you think that a master-killer like me would accept a disciple?"

"..."

The corner of Itachi's mouth twitched slightly, and he inexplicably felt that this made sense.

His face was stern, he tapped his toes lightly, and his body floated quickly on the ground, gracefully dodging Yin Zhu's sword continuously.

Accompanied by ingenious steps and coordinated with simple, direct and rough swordsmanship.

Although seemingly slow, Yin Zhu's figure is actually as fast as lightning, and his sword skills are light, agile and sharp, fully demonstrating the true meaning of "fast, accurate and ruthless", and he always seizes the initiative in the close combat with Itachi.

For a moment, the two men engaged in a fierce battle in the dense woods.

The intensity of the battle was dazzling, to the point that Kisame, who was standing by, was anxious but could not intervene at all.

The sword energy and chakra raged wildly, tearing the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees, making the battle more and more tense and exciting. It seemed that Itachi was parrying very elegantly.

But in reality, I feel a lot of pressure about this.

Although he is also the owner of the Mangekyō Sakura, his pupil power is not inferior to Onotake, and in terms of talent, he is even a monstrous genius ninja who crushes Onotake.

With a considerable amount of chakra and proficiency in all aspects of ninjutsu, body magic and illusion, Itachi can be said to be an extremely rare all-round ninja in the ninja world.

Coupled with the special effects such as "super dynamic vision", "breaking moves" and "weaknesses" bestowed upon him by the Mangekyō Sharingan, he is not afraid at all even in a physical battle with a first-level ninja of the contemporary Five Kage.

However, facing his "clan member" Yinzhu who also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, he was instead stuck in a stalemate, so that he has remained undefeated until now, all thanks to his rich combat experience, his monstrous combat wisdom, and the blessing of the Mangekyō Sharingan for him in close combat.

Yin Zhu's speed and strength were so terrifying that he almost crushed Itachi.

However, every collision was extremely exhausting for Itachi.

Although he could use the Sharingan to detect Yinzhu's movements and even the weaknesses in his sword attacks, and then block, release the force, and counterattack, as the battle continued, his physical and mental strength was gradually being consumed at a rate that was not enough.

Itachi was quite sure.

If he gets into a protracted war, he will definitely be defeated.

So now, he must go all out to find a way out.
