After a moment of shock, his gaze instantly turned into a slightly complicated expression of anger!
He gripped the Kusanagi Sword tighter, gritted his teeth slightly, and said in a low voice:
"You've met Uchiha Itachi...!?"
"Where is that guy now...?!"
Sure enough,
Whenever Itachi's name was mentioned, Sasuke became exceptionally violent.
After all, bearing the lives of an entire clan was not something that could be explained by the simple word "hatred".
And at this moment,
Kyo slowly turned his head, looked at Sasuke, and smiled calmly:
"What?"
"Do you plan to take revenge on him with this level of strength?"
"The sun is out, the rain has stopped... you think you're hot stuff again?"
"Don't be ridiculous."
"Even if he deliberately held back, you couldn't win."
"...!?"
Kyo's words, like a bucket of cold water, were directly and unceremoniously poured on Sasuke.
Hearing this,
Sasuke, who had just been angry, instantly darkened his gaze again.
He stared coldly at Kyo,
Finally understanding this guy's intention.
From the beginning,
Kyo seemed to be constantly belittling his strength, even... using Itachi's name to deliberately suppress him.
All of this seemed a bit unusual...
Realizing this,
Sasuke's gaze hardened, his wrist moved slightly, and the silver blade pressed closer to Kyo's neck, killing intent suddenly appearing.
Then, his gaze indifferent, he said coldly:
"What is your purpose?"
"Coming here... just to mock me?"
"Or do you want me to... kill you right here?"
As his words fell,
The atmosphere on the scene instantly dropped to freezing point.
On the verge of eruption.
Ready to pop off at any moment.
Even Orochimaru beside him dared not move an inch, afraid of disrupting the rhythm of Kyo's plan.
And at this moment,
Kyo's gaze shone, meeting Sasuke's eyes, and he smiled:
"Very simple."
"I want to help you... defeat Uchiha Itachi."
"--!?"
As his words fell, Sasuke was stunned, completely frozen.
His breath involuntarily stopped.
He even,
Couldn't react to the meaning of these words...
"Help me... defeat Itachi...?"
He unconsciously repeated the words, his gaze confused.
And Kyo nodded, smiling:
"That's right."
"But your strength is too weak; it needs to be strengthened."
"That way, you'll have a better chance of winning when you take revenge."
"...!?"
At these words,
Sasuke's pupils constricted; he finally reacted.
Then, his gaze instantly turned somber again, and a fierce killing intent suddenly erupted around him. He stared fixedly at Kyo and said coldly:
"I will defeat Uchiha Itachi... myself!"
"Revenge is my own business!"
"I don't need anyone's help!"
"I am already strong enough... I don't need lecturing from a guy like you!"
"...!"
The moment the words fell, Chakra instantly exploded. The Kusanagi Sword in his hand erupted with dazzling blue lightning!!
And the next moment,
He showed no mercy, his eyes cold as he raised the sword! Whoosh!!
The silver sword light, wrapped in blue lightning, traced an extremely fast trajectory, directly and swiftly passing by Kyo's neck!!
This was a killing move without any flashy movements!
A single sword strike to the throat!
No room for compromise!!
Seeing this,
Orochimaru beside him had his expression shift slightly. This...!?
Sasuke directly attacked!?
What the hell...!
At this moment, far from worrying about Kyo being attacked, he instead... worried about Sasuke who had made the move!
Sure enough, the next moment...
Sasuke, who had just been indifferent, suddenly had his pupils constrict, frozen.
Ha...!?
What's going on?!
My Chidori... didn't hit?!
There ahead,
Kyo's neck showed no sign of injury at all!!
Seeing this,
Sasuke's expression instantly darkened. Without hesitation, he slashed down again, this time aiming directly for Kyo's heart!
Blue electric arcs emitted scorching sounds in the air!
As the blade swung down,
Gorgeous lightning light radiated in the air!
And at this moment,
Kyo on this side still made no move.
Seeing this,
Sasuke's heart was indifferent.
Hmph!
Ignoring my attack...
Then, die under your arrogance...!
Boom!!
The moment the blade swung down, Sasuke instantly increased the release of his Lightning Release Chakra!
Countless lightning bolts instantly emitted sharp screams, coiling around the entire blade, extremely sharp!!
Whoosh!!!
The blade finally swung down!
However,
At that moment, a sudden change occurred!
Kyo, who had been motionless just a moment ago, suddenly raised his hand, meeting the Kusanagi Sword head-on!
And the next moment,
That violent lightning Chidori actually stopped... ten centimeters away from Kyo's body!!
As if sealed by a great prohibition, unable to advance another step!!
It was Kyo's hand!!
With just his index and middle fingers, he easily stopped the Chidori-covered Kusanagi Sword in Sasuke's hand!!
"???!!?"
At this moment,
Sasuke's mind seemed to explode, his thoughts completely shattered!
His breath involuntarily froze, his pupils constricted to their smallest in an instant!
His mind went blank, unable to believe it!!
However,
Next,
An even more shocking scene appeared.
Kyo slowly raised his eyes, still with a gentle smile, slightly raised his hand, and said:
"When did you get the illusion that you were stronger than me?"
As his words fell,
He exerted a little force with his hand
The entire Chidori-covered Kusanagi Sword, wrapped in lightning, in Sasuke's hand, at this moment... directly snapped!!!!
Bang!!!!!!!
The blue lightning scattered, the silver-white blade fragments flew!
????????!!!!!
At this moment,
Sasuke was instantly dumbfounded.
W-Wait...? What... is going on...!!?
My Kusanagi Sword... actually... snapped?!?!
Sasuke's pupils constricted sharply, his expression changing drastically, losing all color!
Such a ridiculous scene,
Appearing so abruptly, made it simply unbelievable for him!!
You have to understand,
The hardness and sharpness of this Kusanagi Sword far exceeded ordinary steel blades!
And after infusing it with Lightning Release Chakra to form the Chidori, its power increased exponentially!
It could be called cutting through iron like mud, indestructible!
However,
Just at this moment,
The Kyo before him not only used only two fingers to block the descending blade without injury, but then effortlessly snapped it!!
This terrifying power... was simply unheard of!!
And,
More importantly,
At such close range,
He also hadn't sensed any Chakra Fluctuations from the other party!
That is to say, in that instant just now, what blocked and snapped the Kusanagi Sword... was his raw physical strength!?
Realizing this,
Sasuke's pupils instantly constricted further!!
Then,
Gritting his teeth fiercely, he quickly leaped back several meters, putting distance between himself and Kyo!
While throwing away the broken Kusanagi Sword in his hand, his Chakra surged rapidly, deciding to use his trump card!
Clang!
In an instant,
His eyes transformed into a magnificent blood-red color!
Sharingan!
Sasuke's expression was extremely grim, his gaze hardening as he looked towards Kyo ahead!!
At the same moment,
An invisible wave of Chakra rapidly surged towards Kyo's eyes!
This was the Sharingan's unique Genjutsu!
Just by making eye contact,
By interfering with the opponent's Chakra, one could pull them into an illusion!
Although Sasuke's Genjutsu wasn't his most relied-upon trump card ability, his skill was still considerable!
After all, this was honed specifically to counter Itachi's Genjutsu!
