Kakashi and Itachi fought for a while, and then he noticed that something seemed wrong with Sasuke and Naruto next to him.
So he used the Hidden Mist Jutsu, creating a large Hidden Mist to hide himself, in order to wake Naruto up from the illusion.
He didn't expect that not only Uchiha Itachi, but even Sasuke's illusion skills had reached this level.
A drop of cold sweat fell from Kakashi's forehead. This was something he hadn't anticipated.
The Hidden Mist Jutsu is just a temporary distraction. Itachi and Sasuke, being the real deal, will definitely be able to see through the fog soon.
"I... He... Sasuke."
Naruto caught his breath, blinking his eyes in disbelief.
"It's Sasuke. Don't let your guard down. He learned illusion skills from Uchiha Itachi."
"Don't look him directly in the eyes."
"He's not your friend anymore. He's a member of the Akatsuki organization. His target is you."
Kakashi frowned slightly, reminding him in a low voice.
Naruto is not an illusion-type ninja, so his resistance to illusions is average.
But from the situation just now, Naruto should have realized that he was already caught in an illusion.
This means that Sasuke's illusion is not so strong that people can't break free or realize it, which is different from the Tsukuyomi that Itachi used on him.
Although Sasuke hasn't reached that level yet, it's still enough to cause them trouble.
Naruto pursed his lips, feeling a bit complicated. The words Sasuke said in the illusion just now...
Were they what he really thought?
Or was he using the illusion because he sensed Naruto's guilt towards him?
"Hidden Mist Jutsu? Kakashi, that's useless against the Sharingan."
"Can you stop this childish game of hide-and-seek?"
Uchiha Itachi's voice came from the other side of the thick mist. In this blurry fog, only two black figures could be seen in front of them.
Kakashi didn't intend to use the Hidden Mist Jutsu to hold them back for long. He just wanted to find an opportunity to release Naruto from the illusion.
Then Kakashi whispered something to Naruto, and a few kunai instantly pierced through the fog, heading straight for Naruto.
Kakashi suddenly retreated to the side, and then heard Uchiha Itachi's voice.
"Fire Release, Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A huge fireball instantly shot towards Kakashi, who was taking two steps back. The giant red fireball instantly evaporated the fog that had spread nearby due to the moisture.
With a "boom," the fireball grazed the ground, leaving a shallow pit.
Kakashi's figure was directly consumed by the fireball.
Naruto looked at the sudden huge fireball, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. After dodging the kunai, he instinctively ran towards Kakashi.
However, the moment he lifted his foot, he realized something was wrong. Then he looked at the kunai he had dodged beside him.
He couldn't see clearly in the mist, but after the Fire Release dispelled the fog, Naruto clearly saw that the kunai were carrying steel wires.
With a few swishes, several kunai were already stuck in the trees around Naruto, all tied with steel wires.
Sasuke expressionlessly pulled the steel wire in his hand, and Naruto was directly hung on the nearby tree trunk.
"Caught him..."
As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, Naruto, who was tied to the tree, disappeared with a "bang." Then Naruto suddenly ran out of the nearby forest.
He had a constantly spinning blue ball in his hand.
"Rasengan!"
Sasuke couldn't dodge in time and took a direct hit from the Rasengan.
Sasuke was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground.
Uchiha Itachi showed almost no concern. His confrontation with Kakashi didn't even hesitate for a moment because Sasuke was sent flying.
Although this is the correct behavior for a ninja, Kakashi still vaguely felt a sense of discomfort.
He clearly guided Sasuke in the training of illusion skills, but he didn't react at all when Sasuke was knocked away?
After the Fire Release, Kakashi directly burrowed into the ground to hide temporarily, and used a Shadow Clone to confront Uchiha Itachi.
Naruto was making a Rasengan non-stop next to him. He didn't have time to check on Sasuke's situation.
But with Sasuke's strength, taking a Rasengan head-on shouldn't kill him, right?
Naruto firmly believed that.
And to put it bluntly, if they wanted to take Sasuke away, they had to deal with his brother.
The main thing was this Uchiha Itachi.
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi was confronting Kakashi's Shadow Clone, Naruto quickly seized the opportunity and rushed out.
Naruto borrowed the Nine Tails' Chakra, his eyes turned into red beast pupils, and the whisker marks on his face also deepened.
He was different from before after his training.
He would use this original move to defeat Uchiha Itachi.
Two Narutos rushed out together, both gathering power in the same Rasengan in their hands, and directly hit Kakashi's Shadow Clone and Uchiha Itachi together.
A gust of wind suddenly rose around them, and the ground under Uchiha Itachi's feet was also blasted into a field of fragmented stones.
However, in the whirlwind and dust, Naruto keenly noticed Uchiha Itachi's subtle smile.
Naruto immediately felt that something was wrong, not just wrong, but he even felt that Uchiha Itachi was mocking him.
"What's with that smile..."
A few drops of sweat fell on Naruto's face, and he looked at Uchiha Itachi, who was sinking into the ground, with some confusion.
Kakashi took advantage of the opportunity just now to check on Sasuke's body, which had been sent flying.
However, the two fell silent in an instant.
The two people lying on the ground now, these two faces, were not Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke at all.
"Who are these people..."
Naruto was a little dazed, looking at Kakashi next to him, and then at the corpses on the ground.
Those ninjutsu and the way they were used were clearly Sasuke and Itachi themselves, so why did they turn into this?
Kakashi paused for a moment and then remembered what Uchiha Itachi said when he was confronting his Shadow Clone.
"I won't use the Mangekyo Sharingan on you. Rather than not wanting to use it, it's more like I can't use it for the time being."
"But that has nothing to do with you."
That's what Uchiha Itachi said at the time. Was that a sign that something was wrong?
The two stopped in confusion for a while, looking at each other.
...
"Even though they're just parallel bodies, it's still annoying to be defeated by that loser on the first meeting."
Sasuke opened his eyes on a desolate mountain top, propping up his cheek with some dissatisfaction.
"The Shapeshifting Technique can create parallel bodies of us to fight them, but there will be limits on ninjutsu and power."
"It's already good to be able to create these effects with 30% of our power."
Uchiha Itachi responded indifferently.
