Unscientific Scientist From Sunagakure - Chapter 152
Itachi slowed his pace.
Kitsuchi immediately used Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin. Rocks squeezed in from all four directions, looking to crush Itachi’s flat.
But Itachi was calm and collected. With a push against the rock wall, he launched into the air. Suddenly, his body dispersed into dozens of crows scattering away. This was the Crow Clone Technique.
For a moment, Kitsuchi and the others lost their target.
After a while, one crow flew behind the Iwa Ninjas.
Itachi reappeared.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique.
Again, the fire dragon roasted the area.
The Iwa Ninjas expressed their utter speechlessness.
Onoki grunted angrily, “What’s this underling doing? Can’t you do something more substantial than just spewing fire? Like this, your fire won’t hurt anyone.”
Ten Iwa Ninjas defended together.
The Great Dragon Fire really couldn’t hurt them.
Mukaze said, “Didn’t you say it has a soul? Isn’t this exactly a soulful battle of ninjutsu between ninjas?”
Onoki rolled his eyes. What’s with all this running around and setting fires? Fire Release is powerful, right? Wait and see whether you have more chakra or our Iwa Ninjas do.
Onoki didn’t care. Just keep it up. Let’s see who can outlast whom.
Mukaze smiled slightly. If Itachi were serious, he’d have started with genjutsu like Demonic Illusion: Mirage Crow, Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique, and other genjutsus. Or perhaps even unleash Susanoo. Your men would have been dealt with long ago.
But why does he keep using fire?
Itachi is an experienced veteran who emerged from a sea of blood on the battlefield.
Even facing ten elite Iwa Ninjas, he easily kept them running in circles.
He also knew this was a “friendly match,” as Mukaze had said. He didn’t go for the kill. Otherwise, these ten wouldn’t be enough for him to slaughter.
Over at Sasuke’s side, things were a bit messy.
Lacking the rich combat experience like Itachi, he was at the mercy of emerging Earth Flow Spears and Earth Pillar Explosion, leaving him in a sorry state.
He barely landed when a bunch of Earth Flow Spears burst beneath his feet.
So he activated the Curse Mark: Stage Two, sprouting wings and flying into the air.
Of course, the Iwa Ninjas didn’t think of letting him go.
Kurotsuchi said to Akatsuchi, “Use the Stone Golem to lift me.”
They couldn’t use Onoki’s Light-Weight Rock Techniques now but weren’t hindered from using other methods.
Akatsuchi slapped the ground. A Stone Golem crawled up, lifting Kurotsuchi towards Sasuke.
Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique
Kurotsuchi spat out quicklime from her mouth, combining it with Water Release to form a fast-acting cement, which solidified around the opponent quickly.
She aimed to encase Sasuke in cement.
Sasuke drew his Zanpakuto.
“Roar! Kengo Raiga.”
Zanpakuto Kengo Raiga appeared.
“Pierce through! Chidori Sharp Spear.”
A Chidori combined into Kengo Raiga, transforming into a Chidori Sharp Spear shooting out.
The lightning met the cement but didn’t have much effect.
The lightning split some cement but didn’t stop it from advancing.
Sasuke had no choice but to spread his wings and flee.
Akatsuchi controlled the golem on the ground, striding fast in pursuit.
Kurotsuchi turns the cement into arms, reaching for Sasuke.
Sasuke dodged left and right but was eventually caught off guard.
As the cement hand neared, Kurotsuchi shouted, “Explode!”
The cement directly exploded.
The burst cement scattered like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
Much of it hit Sasuke’s wings and body.
Sasuke’s wings lost balance and began to plummet toward the ground.
Onoki laughed, “Haha, flying isn’t your thing, huh?”
Mukaze: “Don’t get too cocky yet, to avoid being embarrassed later.”
Onoki: “Hmph, my twenty can’t beat your two?”
Onoki pointed to Sasuke, who was tumbling in the air, “Look, he’s about to be caught by my granddaughter.”
Indeed, Sasuke was in danger.
Kurotsuchi was manipulating the cement hands to catch him.
On the ground, the Iwa Ninjas were eagerly waiting.
Any Earth Flow Spear or Earth Pillar was good enough.
But they still prepared to unleash a barrage of powerful techniques the moment Sasuke landed.
“Get ready.”
“Trap him the moment he lands.”
Sasuke struggled to evade Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi’s pursuit.
The cement on his wings was getting heavier.
He was flying slower and slower.
It seemed he couldn’t hold on much longer and would soon fall to the ground.
At that moment, a crow flew over.
Bang.
It transformed into Itachi.
Itachi caught Sasuke by the feet.
“Go up.”
Sasuke looked at Itachi.
Itachi smiled.
“Keep it up!”
Itachi’s body fell to the ground.
With Itachi’s help, Sasuke flew higher, above Kurotsuchi.
Itachi continued to fall.
On the ground, whichever Iwa Ninja it was, they were ready with a combo meal.
“Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison Technique.”
Earth pillars confined Itachi.
“Earth Release: Mudslide.”
The combined strength of eight people’s mudslide was like a mountain flood erupting.
A massive flow of mud and rocks swept across the nearby grasslands and forests, engulfing Itachi not even his silhouette was visible.
In a corner of the battlefield,
The Dried Fish Duo squatted under a tree.
The honest man, Kisame, said, “Mr. Uchiha, is this okay?”
Itachi coughed twice.
“I’m sick.”
“Of course, it’s my little brother’s turn.”
Itachi looked up at Sasuke in the sky.
He must have realized by now.
Sasuke retracted the Curse Mark: Stage Two.
His cold voice sounded like thunder.
“Thunder, become my voice!”
“Lightning, become my blade!”
“Kengo Raijin!”
“My throne.”
“Thunderous heaven!”
