Yagyu's attack speed was extremely fast.
It did not even give Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame any time to think.
Bang.
The sweeping kick landed on Uchiha Itachi without any warning.
However, what caused Yagyu's expression to change was that this strike did not send Itachi flying, instead it turned him into a cloud of white smoke.
"Shadow Clone."
In an instant, Yagyu determined Itachi's situation, his expression sank slightly,
"Was it at the moment he retreated after the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet explosion, where is his real body."
The thoughts in his mind lasted only for an instant.
In the next moment.
Yagyu did not care about Itachi's real body, as his body flipped, the Rasengan in his hand smashed toward Hoshigaki Kisame.
"Rasengan."
With a low shout, Yagyu pressed the Rasengan forward,
"I will deal with you first."
Facing this move that carried an extreme sense of danger, Kisame's expression changed.
Without any hesitation, he raised Samehada and blocked in front of himself.
"How could I be taken down so easily by you."
Kisame roared.
Then Yagyu's Rasengan slammed directly onto Samehada.
Boom.
The air trembled, producing a roaring sound.
Immediately after, Kisame's body was blasted away by the terrifying force of the Rasengan, cutting a huge wave across the river surface before crashing heavily into the opposite riverbank.
"Puh."
Opening his mouth, Kisame spat out blood, his aura weakened slightly,
"Cough cough, so this is the unsealed jutsu developed by the Fourth Hokage, Konoha's Yellow Flash, it is indeed powerful."
The Rasengan.
Was quite famous in the ninja world, because its creator, Namikaze Minato, was a figure who defined an era.
It was not strange that Kisame knew about Rasengan.
However, at this moment, Yagyu had no time or interest to pay attention to Kisame.
Because at the instant he sent Kisame flying.
Splash.
Around Yagyu, sharp spiraling water pillars pierced toward him.
Facing this lightning-fast attack.
While still in the air, Yagyu had already begun forming hand seals, and completed them instantly.
At the moment he landed on the water surface,
"Water Release, Water Formation Wall."
Splash.
A layer of water, not too thick but with sufficient defensive power, formed a barrier around Yagyu, blocking the attack of the spiraling water pillars.
And at the instant this wave of attacks ended and the Water Formation Wall had just receded.
Clang.
A sharp kunai was placed against Yagyu's neck.
Uchiha Itachi's figure appeared behind Yagyu, his tone calm as he spoke,
"Do not move."
With a sharp kunai pressed against his neck, Yagyu immediately stopped moving.
Feeling Itachi behind him, Yagyu did not show any fear.
He smiled faintly and then spoke,
"Impressive, that instant chain of attacks, if it were someone else, they would already be dead, Uchiha Itachi, as expected of you."
Hearing Yagyu's words.
Itachi's expression did not change at all, as if he had been expressionless from beginning to end.
"Yagyu Sōsuke, I ask you, did Orochimaru really place the Heaven Curse Mark on my foolish younger brother."
Holding the kunai against Yagyu, Itachi spoke,
"Answer me, yes or no."
Hearing this.
A cold smile appeared on Yagyu's face,
"I never repeat nonsense, and just because you ask, I have to answer, are you trying to tell me what to do."
At the moment Yagyu's words fell.
A faint sound of Lightning Release current suddenly rang out.
"What."
Feeling a trace of fatal danger emanating from Yagyu, Uchiha Itachi's expression changed.
Whoosh.
Lifting his foot, Itachi prepared to retreat quickly.
"Lightning Release..."
At this moment, Yagyu's cold voice sounded,
"Self-Destruct Shadow Clone."
Boom.
This time, the sound was like thunder exploding right beside them.
Under the watch of Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, Yagyu's body released a dazzling and terrifying lightning glow, carrying the power to destroy everything.
Crackle.
In an instant, the entire river surface was covered by lightning serpents.
Rumble.
The explosive impact of ignited Lightning Release chakra did not only blow apart the river surface, it also ravaged the riverbank and the forest behind both sides repeatedly with the lightning from the Self-Destruct Shadow Clone.
The scene was extremely terrifying.
Both riverbanks, as well as the surrounding terrain within the affected range, were instantly altered.
After all the impact subsided.
Yagyu stood on the river surface, his gaze calm as he looked at the two on the opposite side.
"That is..."
Looking at Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame who were unharmed under the protection of an orange-red skeletal giant hand, Yagyu spoke,
"A Mangekyō Sharingan user's ability, the legendary Susanoo."
In that instant just now.
Retreating was too late, facing the wide-range and powerful Lightning Release Self-Destruct Shadow Clone, Itachi had no choice but to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan and use the first form of Susanoo, which only had a skeletal arm.
To protect himself and Kisame.
However, this jutsu consumed a great deal of Itachi's energy.
But at this moment, Itachi did not care about that.
Instead, with a serious expression mixed with slight confusion, he looked at Yagyu,
"It seems you know quite a lot about the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, can you tell me where you obtained information about the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Looking at Itachi and Kisame under Susanoo's protection.
Yagyu shrugged,
"Who knows, if you want to know, then why not tell me what you came to Konoha to find, maybe if I am in a good mood, I will tell you where I got the information about the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Hearing this.
Itachi's expression darkened slightly, before he could speak.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Three figures appeared on the river surface.
Kakashi arrived with Kurenai and Asuma.
"I would also like to know, why you returned to the village at this time, what exactly are you looking for, Itachi."
Standing behind Itachi and Kisame.
Kakashi spoke with his Sharingan activated,
"Is it Sasuke, or something else, can the two of you explain properly."
As Kakashi spoke.
Asuma stood to the side holding his trench knives, smoking, locking onto Itachi and Kisame.
Kurenai stood beside Yagyu.
"Yagyu-kun, your sword."
Handing a blade to Yagyu, Kurenai's expression was serious,
"You are not injured, right."
Taking the sword.
Yagyu replied to Kurenai,
"I am not injured, but if you had come any later, they might have already escaped."
If Itachi and Kisame truly wanted to leave.
Yagyu alone would not be able to stop them.
