At this moment, the two stood on a cliff, facing each other. Itachi was alert all over, but compared to Itachi, Satoru seemed much calmer.
"For the fairness of this battle, I will dodge or actively defend against all your attacks."
"Okay."
Itachi didn't waste any words, directly threw out several Shuriken, and then quickly formed seals with both hands.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu."
In mid-air, a few Shuriken instantly turned into dozens, stabbing at Hatake Satoru from all directions.
And Satoru, who hadn't used a Kunai for a long time, aimed at the weakest point of the attack and swung quickly, his arms almost forming a series of afterimages.
After knocking down a few Shuriken in front of him, Satoru also used the Body Flicker Jutsu to get to Itachi's front and launched an attack on him. With the Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi's insight has improved a lot compared to before.
He also quickly took out a Kunai, and collided directly with Satoru's Kunai. The collision between the ironware and the ironware made the two Kunai rub out sparks.
"Whether it's insight or reaction, you've improved a lot, Itachi."
"Thank you for your praise, teacher, but I'm still far behind compared to you."
Itachi said modestly.
"You don't have to say that, you can be proud when you should be."
Although Satoru was talking to Itachi during the battle, he also didn't forget to observe Itachi's every move. For an opponent like Itachi, a slight relaxation could be fatal. Of course, this is only fatal for others, not for Satoru.
But just then, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind Itachi, holding a Kunai and slashed at Satoru. This figure was also Itachi, it could be said to be a shadow clone.
"That's a really good way to attack."
While speaking, Hatake Satoru retreated.
Seeing that the first strike was unsuccessful, the two Uchiha Itachis launched another attack at the same time.
"Fire Release, Phoenix Flower Claw Technique."
The flames sprayed from Uchiha Itachi's mouth spread towards Hatake Satoru like phoenix flower seeds. But if you look closely, you can also find several Shuriken in the flames.
"Earth Release, Earth Flow Wall."
Facing the Shuriken coming from all directions again, Hatake Satoru knew that he couldn't knock them down like just now. After all, he is also a mortal body, and he will get burned when he encounters fire.
Although it may not be very serious, he doesn't want to get hurt, it looks very embarrassing.
With a pat on the ground with both hands of Hatake Satoru, a wall rose up all around, directly surrounding Hatake Satoru.
All the Phoenix Fire Shuriken were concentrated on the Earth Flow Wall protecting Hatake Satoru. Just when Hatake Satoru felt safe, suddenly the surrounding earth wall exploded, a large amount of smoke appeared, and Hatake Satoru's figure also jumped out from the smoke. The white hair on his head also had some signs of being scorched.
He looked very embarrassed.
"You're really cunning, Itachi."
Patting the dust on his clothes, Satoru said in a somewhat displeased tone. Perhaps because he has been mastering the Limitless technique for so many years, he tends to be a little careless in battle.
"Teacher, this is just a normal battle strategy."
Although Itachi's face looked very calm, his heart was in a panic. Because he knew that his teacher was a person who paid great attention to image, he felt that he might face a beating next.
"Okay, normal battle strategy, then I won't hold back."
Then, Hatake Satoru's Kunai in his hand suddenly wrapped around the Lightning Release chakra, and then the Kunai directly shot out a sharp lightning glow, instantly piercing Itachi's shadow clone, but the Kunai in Satoru's hand also broke.
"Indeed, this ordinary material can't withstand such violent chakra."
And at the moment when Satoru cast the spell, although Itachi had already seen it clearly, his body simply couldn't react.
"Hmm, this makes my heart feel much better."
Hatake Satoru took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Indeed, as expected of the teacher, Your ninjutsu is indeed a bit surprising."
Although this is a compliment, Hatake Satoru felt that Uchiha Itachi seemed to imply that he was sneaking.
"Are you blaming me for sneaking?"
"No."
At this moment, Itachi's voice came again, but this time his voice was behind Hatake Satoru.
Itachi took out a Kunai and held it against Hatake Satoru's back, while the Uchiha Itachi in front of Hatake Satoru turned into a series of illusions and dissipated.
"Genjutsu? When?"
Hatake Satoru said in surprise. He knew that Itachi, who had activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, was very good at Genjutsu, so from the beginning of the battle, he had been on guard against Itachi's Genjutsu, but he was still caught off guard.
"From the beginning, when you saw my Sharingan."
Itachi explained from behind Hatake Satoru.
"The beginning? Was it back in the woods just now? You really are something, Itachi."
But as soon as Satoru's words fell, there was a 'bang', and the Satoru in front of Itachi turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared, and Itachi's body unconsciously stepped back half a step due to this change, and his body instantly became alert again.
"A shadow clone? I didn't notice."
Itachi was somewhat shocked at this moment.
He didn't notice when Satoru replaced the shadow clone with his real body, because Satoru never left his sight, unless the other party used the shadow clone in front of him.
But obviously this is impossible.
"Earth Release, Double Suicide Decapitation Jutsu."
Suddenly a palm suddenly sprang up from the ground, heading straight for Uchiha Itachi's ankle.
But although Itachi was shocked just now, his vigilance did not decrease. When he noticed the movement under the ground, he quickly retreated.
"Tsk, as expected, this low-level Ninjutsu has no effect on you."
Satoru came out from under the ground and said in a somewhat helpless tone.
He knew long ago that this move was unlikely to work on Itachi.
"The shadow clone was used when I used the Earth Flow Wall. When I used the Earth Flow Wall, the real body had already burrowed into the ground."
Hatake Satoru seemed to see Itachi's confusion and explained.
"So it was then."
Itachi also made a guess at that time, because only when Hatake Satoru was surrounded by the sight of the Earth Flow Wall did he leave his sight.
"Itachi, let's start fighting seriously next, you haven't used the technique carried by your Mangekyou Sharingan yet."
Suddenly, Satoru's tone changed. Although their battle just now seemed very intense, only the two of them knew that this was just a small fight that couldn't make it to the stage for them.
The real battle starts now.
"Okay."
Itachi nodded seriously.
