Chapter 190: Konoha Strong Whirlwind!
This day was bound to come sooner or later…
A year or two ago, Itachi Uchiha still needed others to buy him time to enter Sage Mode. Now, he could transform naturally on his own…
Kisame could understand him activating Sage Mode. After all, given Itachi Uchiha's age, he was certainly at a disadvantage in a pure taijutsu confrontation…
But if you could enter Sage Mode so easily, was there still a need to pursue taijutsu? Spreading your wings and flying into the sky to casually unleash a few immensely powerful sage arts—wouldn't that be strong enough?!
However, according to Kitahara, taijutsu was still a necessary practice. It couldn't guarantee that a horned Otsutsuki wouldn't just pop up in the ninja world one day…
Gliding on outstretched wings!
The hurricane stirred up by the wings arrived even before Itachi Uchiha himself!
Kisame Hoshigaki raised a hand to shield his face, casually swinging the Samehada greatsword in his hand to strike one of the wings!
Under the enhancement of Sage Mode, Itachi Uchiha's perception and physical abilities were greatly strengthened. Moreover, the pair of black wings were like an extra set of arms, allowing him to respond to any attack at any time!
He could even use them to attack with great flexibility!
Kisame Hoshigaki swung his ninja sword, beating back the black wings that darted left and right, then suddenly began to form hand seals. "Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!"
This was a defensive ninjutsu.
Itachi Uchiha paused briefly, watching the figure within the water prison gradually transform. He said in a low voice, "Is he going to fuse with Samehada…"
Kisame Hoshigaki in his fused state with Samehada was the true Monster of the Mist! His movements would become more agile, his strength would grow even greater, and a moment of carelessness could lead to being beaten to death…
The water prison dissipated, revealing Kisame Hoshigaki's new form.
Itachi Uchiha's brow furrowed. The chakra in his body surged as he clenched his fists, watching the nearly half-shark, half-human Hidden Mist ninja below.
"Itachi-kun, the warm-up is over!"
Kisame Hoshigaki's body tensed. He slowly crouched, looking up at the pair of black wings in the air. "This distance should be about right…"
Swoosh!
After a simple charge-up, the shark-man's body had already shot into the sky!
Both of them had reached the peak of their physical condition. Their sensory abilities, reaction speeds, and even their strength were unprecedentedly powerful!
"Got you!"
"Got you!"
They shouted almost in unison!
Kisame Hoshigaki's hand tightly gripped a black wing as he threw a punch towards the Konoha youth's abdomen!
Itachi Uchiha's chakra-infused palm landed on the shark's back!
The two of them tumbled from the sky, entangled with each other!
They didn't let a single opportunity for a punch or a kick go to waste!
If they weren't both rational people, they would have been fighting to the death by now! Strictly speaking, they were already putting their lives on the line!
"Sage Art…"
"Water Style…"
As they landed and separated, they simultaneously formed hand seals, then simultaneously dropped their hand gestures, exchanged a glance, and clashed once more!
By the banks of the Naka River, water splashed everywhere!
"Tsk, Samehada really doesn't like sage chakra at all!"
"That's because it's too picky!"
In a close-quarters taijutsu exchange, it was ultimately Kisame Hoshigaki who had the advantage in size. He sent a thunderous kick towards Itachi's chest!
The Konoha youth's reaction speed was faster. His two black wings crossed tightly, enveloping his body as he was sent flying backward!
"Not good…"
Itachi Uchiha clenched his jaw. In the instant his body was out of control, Kisame Hoshigaki would absolutely not let this opportunity pass. A barrage of attacks was sure to follow…
The youth's hands quickly began to form hand seals…
But Kisame's words reached his ears a step sooner. "If you still don't use ninjutsu, Itachi-kun, I'm about to win!"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
Wait, Kisame is supposed to be an honest guy, how did he learn to play mind games? He's a bit like Tobirama Senju, huh!
Since this was a sparring match, he should push himself to his limits!
However, just as Itachi Uchiha resolved to use the protection of his wings to get through this difficult moment, a huge surge of chakra from outside sent a chill down his spine…
"Water Style: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Following Kisame Hoshigaki's roar, a monstrous wave spewed from his mouth, instantly flooding the quiet area and causing the Naka River's water level to surge!
That guy Kisame actually felt his advantage wasn't big enough and had specifically created an environment even more suitable for his combat style!
Itachi Uchiha was slightly grateful for the brief respite that Kisame's ninjutsu provided. Using his wings, hands, and feet, he quickly tried to swim to the surface…
"Itachi-kun…"
Kisame Hoshigaki stood with his arms crossed, blocking his path with a relaxed posture. "Sometimes, I also get very envious of you geniuses with Kekkei Genkai…"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
There was nothing wrong with that statement. Although the Hoshigaki clan was naturally endowed with abundant chakra, it was indeed lacking compared to the top-tier bloodlines of the ninja world. This was especially true in a place like the Hidden Mist Village, where Kekkei Genkai would inexplicably pop up…
For example, that woman Mei Terumi had two types of Kekkei Genkai!
The problem is, you need to get one thing straight! His current strength wasn't because of his bloodline. In this entire fight, he hadn't even used his Sharingan…
He was living like a fake Uchiha!
He was always forgetting that he had a Kekkei Genkai. It might be because Sage Mode's perception was so powerful that there was really no need to rely on the Sharingan…
Shark teeth slowly clamped down in the water. Kisame's body floated freely in the water as he quickly swam to Itachi's side and said in a deep voice, "What a thrilling battle…"
In the water, it seemed no one could fight against Kisame Hoshigaki…
Itachi Uchiha fought with all his might but could only passively choose the direction from which he was attacked. Finally, he used the opportunity to be sent flying by a punch from Kisame!
BOOM!
The calm surface of the lake was suddenly broken!
A figure flew into the sky, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth and a wry smile on his face. It was none other than Itachi Uchiha, who had been knocked into the air!
"It seems… I was underestimated…"
The wings on his back folded, pressing tightly against Itachi's arms. Sage chakra spread towards the wings behind him—this was his area of greatest advantage!
"It seems… I was underestimated…"
On the surface of the water, Kisame Hoshigaki gathered chakra and coated his arms with it. In this strike, he was the one on the offensive. It was rare to have such a large advantage…
Both of them used their own methods, both wanting to seize the initiative in this battle…
However, this fierce battle had already attracted the attention of others in Konoha. Someone had clearly noticed the abnormality and reported it to their superiors. When Fugaku Uchiha received the news, he had no reaction; he had known about this yesterday.
Oh, Itachi is probably just teaching the Hidden Mist envoy a lesson…
Well, let's just consider it payback for the Uchiha who died in the war back then…
Hiruzen Sarutobi received the news a little later. Out of consideration for the overall situation, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen. It wouldn't be good if anyone got hurt or lost their minds in the heat of battle. Therefore, he dispatched a Jonin who could stop the fight…
Besides Jiraiya and Tsunade, who else could it be?
In the distance, a green figure rushed over like a whirlwind. His speed was extremely fast, and the chakra aura around his body was constantly surging…
This time, even Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, who were in the middle of their clash, could no longer ignore the overwhelming presence of the newcomer…
"Gate of Joy: Open!"
"Body Flicker Technique!"
"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"
Might Guy's figure spun, appearing in mid-air. With one kick, he sent both Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki flying. This was the true master of taijutsu!
