Boom!
Forcibly suppressing the pain and guilt in his heart, Uchiha Itachi launched another fierce charge in the direction of the King Kong Ruyi Rod.
Susanoo, who was like a hill, recovered the distance he had been forced back in just two big steps, and his fist with orange-red flames crashed down like a meteorite.
"grass!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen cursed secretly, quickly released his hands holding the monkey demon, and quickly dodged to the left.
Although this was not the first time he faced Susanoo, this kind of existence that was simply a violation of ordinary ninjas still made this former 'Ninja hero' feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Just a twelve-year-old child, with a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, was able to fight against the 'strongest Hokage' like him.
"This can't go on like this!"
After the brief round of testing just now, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally confirmed one thing.
That is, unless absolute power is used to instantly break Susanoo's defense, otherwise the only thing that can be done is to slowly wear away Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyou Eye Power.
But obviously time is not on the side of Sarutobi Hiruzen, whether it is the Sarutobi clan who are constantly bleeding and sacrificing, or the body functions that are aging and weakening...
So there is only one choice left for Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment!
"Ape Demon!"
The King Kong Ruyi Rod, which was restrained by Uchiha Itachi one moment, shrank instantly the next moment, and then flew back to Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand in an instant.
Wind Escape·Cyclone!
A violent wind blew out from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, rolling up a thick mist that completely entangled Uchiha Itachi, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's figure also disappeared in the next moment.
"Hokage-sama, are you finally serious?"
Although he was clearly under the protection of Susanoo, Uchiha Itachi felt a faint crisis in his heart, but he was not worried about it but was happy about it.
Hokage-sama is working so hard, so naturally I can't hold back.
Uchiha Itachi knew that when acting, he had to perform a complete performance. Since he chose to believe in Sarutobi Hiruzen and felt the determination of Lord Hokage, he naturally could not maintain his previous poor acting skills.
Amaterasu!
As a line of blood and tears fell from Uchiha Itachi's right eye, the eye technique 'Amaterasu' that appeared with the awakening of the kaleidoscope showed its power in the ninja world for the first time.
Wherever Uchiha Itachi looked, black flames burned out of thin air without any warning.
The mist and cover that Hiruzen Sarutobi had worked so hard to condense all turned into nothingness under the black flames.
"What's this?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had lost his cover in the mist, felt alarm bells ringing in his heart at this moment, and he ran away like lightning in the field.
This is definitely not a simple flame!
Looking at Uchiha Itachi's right eye that shed a line of blood and tears, Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that this must be the kaleidoscope accompanying eye technique. At this moment, he did not dare to relax at all.
He dared to use such a vicious eye technique on himself. Thinking of this, the killing intent in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart became even more boiling.
But this was just right. Sarutobi Hiruzen thought deeply in his heart and suddenly formed a seal. After using his earth escape to summon a boulder to block the flames in front, his body also rushed forward along with the boulder.
"Suffer death!"
Uchiha Itachi, who wasted a wave of pupil power, did not choose to continue using Amaterasu to pursue. Instead, as if to save pupil power, he continued to control Susanoo to attack crazily.
but……
Why don't you hide!
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who seemed to be standing still, Uchiha Itachi was shocked and angry, but at this moment he had no way to stop!
Sensing the scrutinizing eyes from outside the barrier, Uchiha Itachi could only forcefully continue the bombardment at this moment, otherwise the Hokage's previous efforts would be in vain.
fine……
The moment Susanoo's punch landed, a trace of joy flashed in Uchiha Itachi's heart.
It's a clone!
But the next moment, this trace of happiness was completely replaced by a strong sense of crisis.
later!
The powerful perception talent made Uchiha Itachi quickly realize the source of the crisis, and his body suddenly flew into the air and turned 180 degrees.
"Uchiha, don't underestimate me!"
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still standing ten meters away from Itachi Uchiha, and there were four shadow clones who looked exactly like him beside him.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that his title as the 'Strongest Hokage' was worth a 'billion points'.
But for Hiruzen Sarutobi, who masters all the ninjutsu in Konoha and possesses five chakra attributes, he naturally has a certain degree of confidence.
now.
Together with Sarutobi Hiruzen's body and four clones, they were all forming ninja seals frantically and quickly at this moment, and the terrifying chakra aura was also spreading crazily around.
It was at that moment when the huge Susanoo turned around one after another with Uchiha Itachi.
Five Escape·Dalian Bullet Technique!
The chakra auras of five different attributes: fire, thunder, water, earth, and wind flow between Sarutobi Hiruzen and the four clones. Finally, each clone sprays out a torrent of ninjutsu with one attribute, like a wave. It rushed towards Uchiha Itachi in front.
first.
Susanoo, who had an absolute size advantage, couldn't help but feel insignificant under this huge torrent of ninjutsu.
And the torrent of ninjutsu in front of you is not only extremely large in scope, but also the ninjutsu of various attributes are constantly superimposed and integrated with each other, constantly showing more terrifying power.
Even Uchiha Itachi, who had activated Susanoo, couldn't help but feel a sense of fear at this moment.
Is this the strongest Hokage?
boom!
At the moment when no one could react, the violent explosion stirred up dust all over the sky, and the restless chakra breath made the surrounding air extremely hot.
Huh...huh...huh...
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing on the spot, quickly released the four shadow clones, and his chest began to rise and fall rapidly.
Obviously.
For Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has gradually begun to age, it is obvious that he has almost reached his limit when performing large-scale ninjutsu of this level.
"finished?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care about Uchiha Itachi's life or death at this moment. Thinking about this while fighting a Mangekyo was simply irresponsible for his own life.
As for Uchiha Jhin?
Since you, the Uchiha clan, value so-called fairness so much, you will not embarrass yourself because of the clan members who died in a fair battle!
However, one moment Sarutobi Hiruzen was still thinking about how to deal with Uchiha Jhin, but the next moment he suddenly revealed a look of disbelief.
As the smoke and dust from the explosion gradually dissipated, an extremely broken but still human-like skeleton was still standing in place with difficulty.
Within the broken skeleton, Uchiha Itachi's figure was equally miserable, his clothes were ragged and his eyes were full of blood and tears, and his figure seemed to be about to fall down at any time.
But Uchiha Itachi did not fall, and although the skeleton covering him was broken, it still showed that Susanoo's fighting ability had not disappeared.
"Damn it, if I were still young..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that if he were in his peak state, Uchiha Itachi would have almost no chance of survival.
but now……
Could it be that the last resort left to Uchiha Jhin was actually going to be used on Uchiha Itachi?
"Lord Hokage..."
Uchiha Itachi's vision was a little blurry at the moment, but he still locked onto Sarutobi Hiruzen's position through perception, and vaguely saw the 'concern' in front of him...
"Didn't you expect that the Sandaime would choose to stay in the end? It's clear that all he needs to do is work harder in the end..."
Uchiha Itachi felt extremely guilty when he thought of this possibility. At the same time, he also saw the responsibility he must bear from the perspective of the Hokage.
"Since the Sandaime Hokage can't take action, in order to avoid more losses in Konoha, I can only bear everything!"
