Chapter 206: Itachi Vs Ryosuke
"Kakashi, let me try!"
At this time, Kurenai took a step forward and looked at Itachi in front of her.
Kurenai had long wanted to see how her genjutsu compared with this legendary ruthless man who had slaughtered his entire clan.
"Be careful!"
Kakashi reminded.
Next second—
In Itachi's field of vision, the people around him disappeared in an instant. Then, a big tree rapidly grew from under his feet, binding him in it.
Tree Binding Kill Technique!
Kurenai appeared from the big tree, and the kunai in her hand was placed on Itachi's neck.
"Surrender." She said.
However, Itachi, who had a calm expression from the beginning to the end didn't seem to notice any threats.
He just said lightly, "Kurenai Jōnin, are you sure you want me to surrender?"
What?
Kurenai was taken aback for a moment, and in the next second, she realized that she was the one who was tied up by the big tree.
Itachi, who was supposed to be imprisoned by the genjutsu, stood in front of her at this moment, looking at her calmly.
Kurenai: "..."
Is the gap that big?
Kurenai was shocked. She had never fought against Itachi before, but she had heard that the ninjas of the Uchiha clan were very strong in genjutsu.
And Itachi, as an S-rank rebel and Uchiha clansman must have extremely high attainments in genjutsu.
But Kurenai did not expect that the genjutsu skills she was proud of would be so vulnerable in front of Itachi.
Without any warning at all, her genjutsu was actually bounced back.
The other side
Just as Kurenai started, Kakashi and the surrounding Anbu also rushed towards Kisame.
Kisame laughed and raised the Samehada behind him.
With a straight slash, several Konoha Anbu around him were forced back.
"Is this Konoha's Anbu?"
"Hehe~! That's all."
Kisame sneered.
Next second—
Earth release: Headhunter Technique!
Kakashi's hands suddenly appeared from the ground, grabbed Kisame's ankles, and dragged him down to the ground.
"Get out!"
Kisame slashed at Kakashi with the Samehada in his hand, roaring.
Kakashi recognized the oddly shaped broadsword in Kisame's hand as one of the weapons of Kirigakure's seven ninja swordsmen, Samehada.
Therefore, seeing Kisame attack, Kakashi did not hesitate to give up the opportunity of this sneak attack.
In an instant, he got into the ground and avoided the Samehada.
As for Kisame, although he avoided being pulled into the ground, his two calves were still pulled in.
At this time, he was somewhat affected.
And the Konoha Anbu around him saw the opportunity, and instantly used ninjutsu to cover Kisame in the center.
"Water release: Explosive Water Shockwave!"
Kisame is known as the tailless beast, and the Chakra in his body far exceeds that of ordinary ninjas.
Faced with these ninjutsu attacks by Konoha Anbu, Kisame simply used a water release.
The water not only washed away the opposing ninjutsu, but also caused a lot of Konoha Anbu to be swept away by the current.
Their life and death were unknown for a while.
"Too bad, this guy's strength is much more than imagined."
Kakashi frowned when he noticed this scene, and looked enviously at Kisame's unscrupulous use of this taxing ninjutsu.
As a ninja who had an extremely limited amount of Chakra, Kakashi had always used various subtle tactics to defeat the enemy.
But sometimes, he wanted to try this kind of large-scale ninjutsu to end the opponent.
Last time, he had used a large waterfall Technique, which almost drained all the Chakra in his body.
It made him unconscious for a long time, and it took him several days to recover.
So, he could only envy this kind of thing.
If he really fought like this everytime, he would die sooner or later.
Inside the Ichiraku ramen
A dozen empty bowls were stacked in front of Ryosuke. He finished the last bowl of charsiu ramen.
Ryosuke touched his stomach and felt that he was 70% full after eating.
'Kakashi and the others should have already started fighting, right?' Ryosuke thought to himself.
Immediately, he took out some money and put it on the table.
After saying hello to the busy Teuchi and Ayame, he used the Flying Thunder God to disappear from the restaurant.
Outskirts of the village
A flood washed away the woods.
Ryosuke appeared here instantly through the Flying Thunder God mark he had left on Kakashi, just in time to see some Anbu being washed away by the flood.
"It's Kisame's Water release."
He looked at the man in the middle with a shark face.
Hoshigaki Kisame, Kirigakure rebel.
Because of his special physique and the fact that he has the Samehada, which can absorb Chakra, he is called the tailless beast.
He's good at Water release and tenacious.
Swish!
Ryosuke disappeared, and instantly slashed at Kisame.
Clang~!
Kisame deserved to be a Kage-level powerhouse at his peak.
He subconsciously blocked Ryosuke's slash.
However, the power of the slash sent him flying more than ten meters away before stopping.
After stopping, Kisame looked at the big sword slash in his hand with a distressed expression.
The muscle that had been slashed was whimpering like a living creature at this moment, which was very strange.
"You're that kid from the ramen shop!"
Kisame looked at Ryosuke viciously, and suddenly remembered where he had seen Ryosuke.
Isn't this the Konoha kid in that ramen shop before?
He didn't expect this kid to be so powerful.
If it wasn't for his quick reaction just now, he might have been injured by now.
"Kakashi, I'll hand over this one to you."
Ryosuke glanced at Kisame, and then said to Kakashi beside him.
Kakashi: "…"
Originally seeing Ryosuke suddenly appearing beside him, Kakashi was really taken aback.
Seeing that Ryosuke almost killed Kisame later, Kakashi was happy, but Ryosuke suddenly said this.
No, don't!
Finish him off here before going away!
Kakashi felt bitter. He hated fighting such a foe who had overwhelming Chakra.
He would have to calculate the use of every ninjutsu, but the opponent could bombard ninjutsu relentlessly.
Even though Kakashi was used to fighting this kind of enemy, every time he encountered them, he still felt a little bitter in his heart.
The other side
After handing Kisame to Kakashi, Ryosuke appeared next to Kurenai.
"Itachi, this is the first time we have met. Are you in such a hurry?"
Ryosuke hugged Kurenai's waist, and then disappeared.
Swish!
A strange figure appeared in the position where he was just now.
Itachi looked at Ryosuke faintly with his blood-red Sharingan.
As for Kurenai?
He didn't pay attention to a Jonin specializing in genjutsu at all.
"Sister Kurenai, go and help Kakashi. I'm afraid that he can't beat Kisame." Ryosuke said to Kurenai beside him.
Hearing this, Kurenai nodded, and after taking a deep look at Itachi, she turned around and went to Kakashi to help.
"Are you confident in your own strength?"
Itachi looked at Ryosuke, who was as old as his younger brother indifferently.
Although he was surprised that Ryosuke had such strength at such a young age, he wasn't worried about his safety in the slightest.
After all, Itachi had been the best since childhood.
A person's self-confidence is never produced in an instant, but is accumulated bit by bit and subtly.
Itachi was like that.
He had been a super genius in other people's mouth since he was a child.
He graduated from Ninja School at the age of 7, awakened the Sharingan at the age of 8, passed the Chunin exam by himself at the age of 10 and became a Chūnin.
After joining Anbu at the age of 11, he was also highly appreciated by the then team leader Kakashi.
Then at the age of 13, he awakened the legendary eyes of the Uchiha clan— Mangekyō Sharingan!
He possessed strength comparable to Kage-level.
Now 17 year old Itachi, seems to be a peak kage-level ninja.
With his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, he was not afraid of any ninja of the same level.
Not to mention, the guy in front of him was just a brat who was five years younger than himself and the same age as his brother Sasuke.
No matter how talented he is, he can't beat him, right?
Itachi was quite confident in himself.
What he was thinking now was how to act more realistically later, so that his act of holding back couldn't be seen.
Although Ryosuke didn't know what Itachi was thinking, he could see that Itachi didn't seem to regard him as an opponent.
"Looks like I have been underestimated." Ryosuke smiled lightly.
Next second—
A blade of light instantly split Itachi's body.
Quack~! Quack~!
A flock of crows uttered an ugly cry, flapped their wings and flew away.
Ryosuke stood in place and found that the surrounding environment had turned into night.
And on a tree in front of him, there was a man whose eyes seemed to be shining.
It was Itachi!
"You have fallen into my genjutsu. From this moment on, all of your attacks will be ineffective to me."
Itachi looked down at Ryosuke from a high position, and explained the matter to Ryosuke with a strong attitude.
"In fact, I'm not bad at genjutsu."
Ryosuke smiled lightly, and the world around him shattered like glass in the next second.
At this moment, everything went back to normal.
And Ryosuke stood where he was just now, without moving.
And Itachi appeared behind him. His hands under the sleeves quickly formed seals at a speed of six hand seals per second.
Fire release: Great Fireball Technique!
He used a ninjutsu to attack the back of Ryosuke in just a few tenths of a second.
Water release: Wild Water Wave!
Ryosuke turned around and spit out, and instantly a huge gust of water gushed out from his mouth, submerging the Great Fireball behind him.
Even Itachi was instantly hit by the monstrous water release.
Boom~!!!
This was only a C-rank Water release, but in Ryosuke's hands, it's power was more than a S-rank Water release.
Itachi was hiding behind a tree, and the one that had attacked before was just his Shadow Clone.
But at this time, the hiding place he was in was also shrouded by the water.
Itachi could only escape from hiding.
"This Water release is even more powerful than Kisame's. How much Chakra does he have?"
Itachi was startled.
He realized that he had underestimated this Konoha ninja who was as old as his younger brother.
Even if his talent in other aspects is average, with this kind of destructive ninjutsu alone, it was enough for him to become a super genius.
Not to mention, hudging from the brief fight just now, his genjutsu and sword skills were not bad at all.
'This kid is of the same level as me.' Itachi thought.
This time, he did not dare to underestimate Ryosuke. Otherwise, he might not be able to stay unscathed.
Swish!
A figure caught up to Itachi.
Ryosuke held a sword and fought Itachi for more than a dozen rounds in an instant on the water.
He suppressed the super genius of the Uchiha clan.
"Is this your strength? What about your Mangekyō? Why not use it?"
Ryosuke slashed Itachi's forehead, but Itachi managed to dodge it.
Itachi was panting heavily. He looked very tired already.
Itachi's taijutsu was not bad, but his physique was not good enough.
Moving around too much for a while would easily tire him out.
At this time!
After more than a dozen rounds of exchanges with a master of Taijutsu like Ryosuke, he had almost reached his limit.
Therefore, Itachi didn't intend to delay any longer.
If this goes on like this, he might not lose, but he will definitely be beaten up.
Itachi cared about his dignity.
He can hold back and get beaten for his younger brother, but in front of others, Itachi still wanted to maintain his own style.
