The sky was thick with dark clouds. Lightning flickered within the cloud layers, and the rumbling sound of thunder rang out.
Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke and said calmly, "The Sharingan is an eye that can see Chakra. Don't push yourself."
"I know you're out of Chakra."
This time, Uchiha Itachi's voice carried a hint of concern, because he felt Sasuke was at his limit. If he forced himself to use Ninjutsu, it could very well threaten his life.
Sasuke slowly stood up.
Uchiha Itachi continued his calm analysis: "The Orochimaru-style Body Replacement Technique used to dodge Amaterasu is indeed difficult to detect and is a quite refined substitute, but it requires a massive amount of Chakra."
White Zetsu, watching the show from the side, also had a sudden realization: "That's right, because Sasuke absorbed Orochimaru."
Black Zetsu likewise said, "So that's how it is."
"Boom—!!"
Thunder roared.
"Indeed," Sasuke spoke, looking at Itachi calmly. "I'm out of Chakra now, because I used it all up on the Fire Release just now."
Drip, drop.
At this moment, it started to rain.
"But," Sasuke showed a smile and looked at Itachi, laughing as he said, "did you think I would come to kill you without any preparation?"
"Rumble—!!"
Thunder rang out again.
Sasuke looked at Itachi seriously. "In just an instant... this Ninjutsu, like Amaterasu, is absolutely impossible to avoid."
At this moment, Sasuke's voice sounded exceptionally confident. Clearly, he had great faith in this technique.
Sasuke looked up, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan watching Itachi as he smiled. "Then, as you wish, I will recreate the way you die."
On the other side, White Zetsu was somewhat puzzled. "A Ninjutsu that's impossible to dodge like Amaterasu... just what kind of Ninjutsu is it?"
Sasuke and Itachi locked eyes. They stared at each other until finally, Itachi seemed to understand something and looked up at the sky.
"Rumble—!!!"
At this moment, countless bolts of lightning gathered together, and thunderous light flashed across the sky.
The sky, which was about to darken, became as bright as day at this moment.
"Is that it?!" At this moment, Black Zetsu also seemed to understand, realizing: "Was the Fire Release earlier for this purpose?"
"What's going on?"
White Zetsu was confused. His intelligence wasn't particularly high, so he couldn't fully understand Black Zetsu's words or the current situation.
Black Zetsu explained patiently, "That is to say, the target of those Fire Release attacks wasn't Itachi from the very beginning."
"So what exactly is going on?" White Zetsu was still very confused. He asked Black Zetsu to explain more clearly.
Black Zetsu said somewhat helplessly, "He intentionally fired the Fire Release into the sky to rapidly heat the atmosphere, thereby triggering an updraft."
"Updraft?" White Zetsu heard a term he didn't understand at all.
"Cumulonimbus clouds..." Black Zetsu paused for a moment and explained simply, "In other words, it was to create thunderclouds."
White Zetsu wore a helpless expression. For him, not understanding was quite normal. He said helplessly, "So what does that do?"
Black Zetsu was speechless at White Zetsu's intelligence, but he still continued his explanation: "He doesn't intend to use his own Chakra energy. Instead, he's using the massive energy generated by the atmosphere to use a Lightning Release Ninjutsu."
"In short, compared to what humans create using Chakra nature transformation, the scale is simply incomparable."
"Zzzzt-zzzzt-zzzzt—!!"
While Black Zetsu was saying this, the lightning of Chidori appeared in Sasuke's hand, and he himself jumped to the highest point.
"Is that it?!" Black Zetsu looked around, also somewhat surprised. "Did he intentionally lure Itachi outside so he could also utilize the heat from Amaterasu?"
At this moment, Black Zetsu seemed truly surprised. Given the strength and wisdom Sasuke was showing, it was hard to imagine that three years ago, he was just a boy who had been toyed with by Itachi.
Standing at the high point, Sasuke looked down at Itachi below and introduced in a calm tone, "This Ninjutsu is a lightning strike from the heavens. I am merely guiding this power toward you."
"So that's how it is?" Black Zetsu said calmly, "In that case, there's no way to dodge it."
"Why?" White Zetsu didn't understand.
Black Zetsu said indifferently, "A lightning strike takes only a thousandth of a second. It's faster than the speed of sound."
Under Black Zetsu's friendly explanation, Sasuke silently raised the Chidori in his hand. He looked at Itachi below and said, "The name of the technique is Kirin."
As Sasuke's voice fell, the sound of thunder rang out again, and the lightning in the sky converged toward him.
"What?!" White Zetsu was shocked, not understanding the situation.
"Has Sasuke even tamed lightning strikes?" Black Zetsu, however, saw through everything.
Above, the Chidori in Sasuke's hand seemed to turn into an arrow and rush upward, but this seemed to be an illusion, as the Chidori in his hand didn't disappear.
"Roar—!!"
Accompanied by a roar, a Kirin formed of lightning appeared behind Sasuke.
!!!!
Seeing this scene, Itachi showed a look of considerable shock.
At the same time, the people outside the video also showed very shocked expressions. They had seen this scene before; they had seen it in the No. 1 spot of the previous video.
Except back then, that Kirin could only be considered a one-time attack.
This time, it was a finishing move. The shocking effect this time was even more exaggerated than No. 1.
At this moment, Sasuke was like a God of Thunder, having conquered this Kirin formed of lightning.
"Vanish with the thunder!" Sasuke swung the Chidori in his hand. The Kirin moved, returning into the dark clouds, and then Sasuke's hand suddenly swung downward.
The Kirin roared, rushing downward with bared fangs and brandished claws.
Uchiha Itachi stared blankly at the sky, as if frozen. White light enveloped his entire figure.
"Boom—!!!"
An explosion suddenly rang out, and lightning illuminated the entire world.
Naruto World, Konoha Village.
"Hahahahaha, hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!"
Uchiha Sasuke laughed wildly. He felt that Itachi was definitely dead. Under this strike, he would surely lose!!!!
"Is it over?" Naruto asked with some doubt. For some reason, he felt things weren't that simple.
Because after experiencing the battle between Joseph and Kars, he felt that before seeing the end, nothing was that simple.
"..." Jiraiya looked at the flash of lightning on the screen. Even he had to admit that this move was very powerful.
If it were him, without any preparation, he might very well be killed instantly.
Unless, in that instant, someone used the Reverse Summoning Technique to teleport him away.
"Kirin?" Kakashi watched this scene, thinking for a moment. He felt like he might have a way to learn it; after all, the difficulty didn't seem particularly high.
