Itachi was silent,
He clenched his teeth slightly and once again attempted to release Tsukuyomi.
However,
A moment later,
The result was still the same.
The Genjutsu failed.
The invisible Chakra emitted by the Mangekyo Sharingan was blocked before it could reach Kyo's pupils, unable to proceed further.
Such an outcome could only indicate one thing—
'This guy had really closed his eyes!'
Realizing this,
Itachi was completely stunned.
Since awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan, he had never encountered an opponent with such bizarre actions!
Facing his Tsukuyomi,
It was as if he knew all the information in advance, and simply closed his eyes???
In fact, even Danzo himself didn't know about this technique!
"..."
The masked man watching from the side also frowned slightly at this scene, and asked doubtfully in a low voice:
"What's going on, Itachi?"
"Did that guy... enter the Tsukuyomi World?"
However,
Before his words even finished and Itachi could respond, Kyo suddenly turned around, facing the masked man, and said flatly:
"You Uchiha people are really interesting."
"Always having this kind of inexplicable confidence."
"Let me ask you instead—"
"When exactly did you get the illusion that I would fall for Tsukuyomi?"
"?!"
As the words fell, both the masked man and Itachi were stunned simultaneously.
Kyo then chuckled lightly and continued:
"That Sharingan's Genjutsu just now, I only put on a little act for you to see."
"You didn't really think I was afraid of Genjutsu, did you?"
"No way?"
"Even without using my eyes,"
"I can still clearly 'see you'."
"For example, like this—"
Saying this, Kyo suddenly raised the pale blade in his hand, and without even looking, directly swung it behind him.
"Getsuga Tensho."
Boom!!
In an instant, violent Hollow Spiritual Power surged out, condensed before the blade, transforming into a crescent-shaped slash that directly charged towards Itachi behind!
The power of this slash was far greater than the previous one!
The mere spreading afterwaves directly destroyed the two stone pillars in front of the shrine, completely shattering them!
And the direction it charged towards, neither deviating nor slanting, was aimed precisely at Itachi!
"!?"
Seeing this scene,
Itachi's pupils sharply constricted, his expression slightly changing.
'Did this fox-like ogre masked guy also have an ability similar to the Hyuga's Byakugan?!'
'Even though his back was turned to me, the slash he unleashed was this precise?!'
'What's going on!'
In the flash of lightning, Itachi had no time to think further, quickly raising his hand, completing hand seals with a single hand!
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!!"
As the words fell, a huge chakra fire dragon instantly rushed out, carrying sky-high crimson flames, directly colliding with the oncoming crescent!
Boom!!!
The moment the fire dragon touched the crescent, it had almost no room to resist, instantly being completely chopped apart by it!
The scattered flames directly turned into violent shockwaves, instantly spreading wildly in all directions!
And the injured Itachi immediately borrowed the power of this storm, gritting his teeth and violently leaping into the air, dodging this explosion attack!
The Getsuga Tensho that Kyo had unleashed, even after colliding with the fire dragon, had fundamentally not dissipated, directly blasting into the Naka Shrine!
Bam!!!
The large shrine roof, at this moment, instantly collapsed!
The tremendous explosion sound ignited in the night, almost about to resonate throughout the entire Konoha!!
Amidst the collapsing afterwaves,
Itachi used all his strength to barely leap to an open space beside the shrine.
Kneeling on one knee, he gasped roughly, his expression very ugly, and the ineffective Mangekyo Sharingan also deactivated at this moment.
"Ha... ha..."
He was approaching his limit.
After suffering the backlash from the earlier Genjutsu being broken, and the consumption of the Mangekyo Sharingan, he currently didn't have much strength left to continue fighting.
More importantly, Kyo's earlier slash from behind had truly injured him, and it's not a light injury.
This wasn't him going easy.
It was that he was now completely crushed by this masked white demon!
Only at this moment did Kyo turn around, lowering his blade as he looked towards Itachi, and chuckled lightly:
"As expected, worthy of being called a genius."
"When facing that unavoidable slash, you immediately thought of using the Great Fire Dragon Technique to trigger the explosion's shockwave, thereby allowing yourself to dodge."
"Truly brilliant maneuvering."
"However..."
"Your physical stamina, I'm afraid, ends here, right?"
"..."
Itachi was silent, not speaking.
He knew he had been completely seen through.
But,
What he didn't understand was, 'This guy's Chakra clearly seemed very weak, yet why, after continuously unleashing such powerful slashes from the beginning, did he seem to have absolutely no fluctuations?'
'Was he secretly using some method to recover?'
Although temporarily unable to fight, Itachi's mind was still rapidly contemplating countermeasures.
At this moment,
A low voice sounded in the night sky.
"Enough."
"Your playtime with him ends here."
