Chapter 36: ITACHI IS DEAD [IUPM - 6]
"You guys are so predictable," he said with a smirk.
"I thought about going ahead without you, but you seem more interesting than I expected!" I replied with a grin.
"Oh, really? I'm interesting? That's great to hear," he responded, sounding pleased.
Suddenly, I sensed a fierce battle happening nearby. If I'm not mistaken, it's Sasuke and Itachi fighting.
So, Sasuke has found Itachi and is finally going for his revenge. But can he really defeat someone as powerful as Itachi Uchiha? I have my doubts.
"What are you thinking about, orange hair?" he asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I turned my attention back to him, noticing the curious look in his eyes. "So, let me ask you something," I said, my gaze steady. "You're here to hold us back or maybe even stop us from going any further, right?"
"Oh no, why would I do something like that? I'm just here to have some fun with you!" he exclaimed, a playful grin on his face.
"A game, you say? So, fighting us is just a game for you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Then let's play it right." As I spoke, one of my clones lunged at him, charging a Rasengan, catching his attention.
"Oh my goodness! What am I going to do now?" he said, feigning panic. "Just kidding…" With a casual shrug, he let my clone's attack pass right through him. The clone hit the ground and vanished into thin air.
He wasn't dodging my attacks; instead, he was using some technique to make them phase through him. I knew that my clone's attack wasn't meant to seriously harm him, but I wanted to test my theory – it seemed like he was using some kind of space-time jutsu.
He's somehow , erasing his body parts when we're attacking him,
"You've gone quiet after just one attack," he noted with a smirk. "Let me take the lead, then." In an instant, he completely vanished from where he stood, and before I knew it, he reappeared right next to me, ready to strike.
"Got you!" he shouted, throwing a punch in my direction. But just as it was about to connect, it stopped short, hovering in front of me. "What the heck?!" he exclaimed in surprise as I seized the moment to throw my own punch. This time, instead of phasing through him, my fist connected, sending him flying backward.
He landed with a thud but quickly sprang back to his feet, vanishing from our sight with a swift teleport. Just as I suspected, he makes his body intangible when we attack, creating a defense. But when it's his turn to strike, he isn't using that same trick. This means his technique doesn't work all the time.
"So, he's not completely invulnerable. Our attacks can still reach him," I said
"What do you mean by he's not completely invulnerable?" Kakashi-sensei asked
"I mean that when we attack him, he somehow makes his body vanish in a way. He only do it with the parts of his body that we're aiming for, so our attacks don't hit him," I explained, trying to clarify my thoughts.
"That's right! I was thinking the same thing!" Sakura chimed in
"That means he's not evading our attacks; they were slipping right through him the whole time!" Kakashi-sensei exclaimed, piecing it all together.
"But where did he go now?" Sakura asked, looking around anxiously.
"He's nearby!" I said, scanning the area.
"Found him, over there!" Hinata pointed to a tree branch where we saw him standing casually, waving at us as if he were greeting friends.
"Oh, hello there!" he said cheerfully, unfazed by the situation.
"Nice try, but don't think you can escape!" Kiba shouted, charging toward the tree where the Akatsuki member stood. "Tunneling Fang!" he yelled, moving at high speed. Just as he was about to make contact, the enemy effortlessly stepped out of his path, leaving Kiba to crash headfirst into the tree branch and then tumble to the ground.
"Were you even listening? That's not going to work, Kiba!" Sakura exclaimed angrily,
Suddenly, as we looked up at the masked man, we noticed something emerging from the surface of the tree. At first, it appeared to be branches, but then it began to unfold, revealing a figure hidden inside.
"It's over!" the newcomer declared, his voice confident and menacing.
"What... what is that?!" Sakura gasped, her eyes wide with shock.
"He was on the Akatsuki roster that Kabuto gave us!" Kakashi-sensei said, his expression turning serious as he recognized the threat.
"Sasuke Uchiha is worn out from the battle, and Itachi Uchiha is dead," the new guy continued, a smirk spreading across his face.
