Chapter 186

"Boom!"

The two fought fiercely, their strengths evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"Crash!"

Simultaneously, both drew a tachi and slashed at each other's bodies, producing violent crashes.

157. This time, I'll see how you block it!

Blood continuously streamed from Uchiha Sasuke and Kuchiki Senya's bodies; clearly, they had lost a great deal of blood.

"It's over!" Kuchiki Senya's white patterns glowed brighter, and his figure suddenly accelerated.

Body Flicker Technique!

Uchiha Sasuke immediately used the Body Flicker Technique, but Kuchiki Senya's Body Flicker Technique had already reached Level Seven.

They passed each other, leaving a deep gash on Uchiha Sasuke's chest, bone visible.

Kuchiki Senya, meanwhile, recoiled hundreds of meters, a patch of skin on his chest completely sliced off by Uchiha Sasuke.

Both suffered serious injuries, and it was a mutual destruction—now it was a test of who would break first.

Kuchiki Senya's will was stubborn; he showed no sign of retreat. His hands turned pitch black again as he unleashed his most skilled ninjutsu—Ghost Lantern Illusory Moon!

"Shii! Shii!"

Clusters of fireballs shot out, sealing off the surrounding area. As Kuchiki Senya formed hand seals with both hands, the fireballs merged into two even more terrifying flame spheres.

"This time, I'll see how you block it!" Kuchiki Senya rasped.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Wave!" Uchiha Sasuke's face was grim; he flicked his wrist, sending countless water columns surging toward Kuchiki Senya.

The water waves collided with the scorching fireballs, unleashing staggering energy shocks that blew away grass and leaves, leaving the entire forest bare.

Although Uchiha Sasuke successfully blocked Kuchiki Senya's ninjutsu, blood trickled from his lips—he had clearly sustained serious injuries.

But Kuchiki Senya's injuries were worse; he had been slashed repeatedly during his clash with Uchiha Sasuke.

A colossal shadow emerged behind Kuchiki Senya.

The shadow was a massive black skull, its back clad in armor.

"This guy!" Uchiha Sasuke's face changed drastically—he had never imagined such an enemy.

The skull moved slowly, each step covering several meters; its aura grew stronger, gradually surpassing Uchiha Sasuke's expectations.

"This is..." Uchiha Sasuke's expression shifted—he remembered. This was the legendary Tailed Beast Ball.

"Hahahaha! Uchiha Sasuke, I know you're strong, but today, you will die here." Kuchiki Senya laughed into the sky, his voice thick with malice and hatred.

Uchiha Sasuke's expression turned solemn; he sensed Kuchiki Senya's chakra rising at an unbelievable speed.

"No more waiting—I must strike first!" Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and drove his kunai deep into the ground. "Senjutsu: Water Array Wall!"

Suddenly, a wall of water appeared around Uchiha Sasuke, separating him from Kuchiki Senya—no matter how Kuchiki Senya struggled, he could not escape.

But even Uchiha Sasuke's simplest Water Release ninjutsu could not stop Kuchiki Senya.

"Pshhh!" A tachi plunged into Kuchiki Senya's chest from the side.

"Aaaah!!" Kuchiki Senya screamed, then gripped the tachi tightly.

"Puff!" Uchiha Sasuke pulled the tachi free, but Kuchiki Senya's other fist had already struck—crashing into Uchiha Sasuke's head.

Uchiha Sasuke was flung backward.

"Puff!" Uchiha Sasuke crashed to the ground, spitting out several bloodied teeth, his face pale—his injuries were clearly worse.

"Cough! Cough!" Uchiha Sasuke struggled to rise, wiped blood from his lips, and stared at Kuchiki Senya. "What ninjutsu was that?"

That technique had just put his life in danger.

Kuchiki Senya spoke coldly: "Reincarnation Technique! Reincarnation Technique!"

A thick aura of evil radiated from him.

"No!" Uchiha Sasuke frowned. Kuchiki Senya was not using Corpse Sealing Technique—his aura was fundamentally different from before.

"Reincarnation Technique is indeed powerful, but you are not the Rinnegan." Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

"Hahahaha! True, the Rinnegan is powerful—but all of that rests on strength. Only with sufficient power can one fully control the Rinnegan; otherwise, it's just a discarded precious eye." Kuchiki Senya sneered. "But I am different—my father was the one who possessed the Rinnegan."

Uchiha Sasuke fell silent for a moment, then smiled faintly: "Then let's see. This game, you've already lost."

Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan vanished from his eyes, replaced by the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Uchiha Sasuke slammed his right foot hard against the ground and shot forward like a cannonball.

Uchiha Sasuke moved at blinding speed, reaching Kuchiki Senya in an instant. His arm hurled shuriken toward him, but Kuchiki Senya was ready—he dodged with a flash and countered with a sweeping slash that struck Uchiha Sasuke's abdomen.

· ·· Requesting flowers·· ·

The two separated instantly, Uchiha Sasuke's expression dark and uncertain.

"Heh!" Kuchiki Senya grinned, revealing sharp, pointed canines. "Your weakness is exposed."

Kuchiki Senya moved again, releasing strange ripples from his body, as if a vortex was sucking in the surrounding air.

"Eight Trigrams Spiral Ball!" Kuchiki Senya formed hand seals with both hands, and a vertical eye suddenly opened on his forehead.

A beam of green light erupted, striking Uchiha Sasuke directly.

........ 0

Uchiha Sasuke groaned, clutched his stomach, and collapsed to his knees, trembling violently—he felt his chakra leaking uncontrollably.

"Bad!" Uchiha Sasuke thought grimly.

He quickly pulled out a pill and swallowed it; his chakra stabilized.

"Hahahaha! I told you—I'll kill you this time!" Kuchiki Senya laughed viciously.

He now possessed a six-tomoe Rinnegan, his power greatly enhanced.

In the original story, he never needed such a secret technique—but now he had no choice, and this was his only chance to kill Uchiha Sasuke.

"I admit—you're stronger than your original self. But only by a little!" Uchiha Sasuke's eyes glowed red as his three-tomoe Sharingan pattern flickered.

"Senjutsu: Sage Mode!" Uchiha Itachi's momentum rose another notch, so much so that he could already clearly see Kuchiki Senya's figure.

Kuchiki Senya felt as if he had sunk into a quagmire; he laboriously swung the kunai in his hand, but Uchiha Itachi dodged it with ease.

Uchiha Itachi gripped his kunai tightly and thrust viciously at Kuchiki Senya.

"Clang!" Uchiha Itachi's kunai was blocked, and at the same moment Kuchiki Senya's fingers hooked onto Uchiha Itachi's shoulder, and his palm twisted hard!

"Crack!" Uchiha Itachi's bones let out a crisp sound.

"Hahahaha!!!" Kuchiki Senya laughed wildly, "This time, you're dead for sure!"

158. If not you, then who should die?

"Damn it!" Uchiha Itachi cursed angrily. If this continued, he really would die here.

Kuchiki Senya's body moved once again.

"Senjutsu: Sage Mode!" Uchiha Itachi gave a low shout, and a layer of transparent membrane wrapped around his entire body.

"Bang!" A fist struck Uchiha Itachi's abdomen, but he remained completely unscathed, and he seized Kuchiki Senya's wrist.

"Senjutsu: Lightning Blade!" Uchiha Itachi held a kunai in his left hand and thrust toward Kuchiki Senya's neck.

"Boom!" Uchiha Itachi's palm was deflected away.

Uchiha Itachi cursed inwardly. Kuchiki Senya in this state was simply an unsolvable existence, unless one could interrupt the ninjutsu Kuchiki Senya was casting.

Kuchiki Senya's target was not him, so Uchiha Itachi would not be treated as a target to attack, and Kuchiki Senya's method of attack was also not suited for combat, "five-three-zero" so the only option left was to get close to him!

Thinking this, Uchiha Itachi charged straight at Kuchiki Senya.

Kuchiki Senya was greatly shocked at the sight. This guy actually dared to approach him on his own? Wasn't he afraid of his ninjutsu?

But facts proved that Kuchiki Senya's guess was wrong.

"Fire Release: Majestic Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Rumble rumble~"

A massive lava tornado appeared behind Uchiha Itachi, and his entire body merged into this lava tornado, after which a ball of scorching flame erupted outward.

Kuchiki Senya's figure appeared a hundred meters away. Although he had dodged in time, his robes were still tattered and covered in lava, while Uchiha Itachi stood in the distance, coldly watching Kuchiki Senya.

"How could you know my ninjutsu? Could it be…" Kuchiki Senya suddenly looked up at the sky and murmured, "As expected of the former Uchiha Itachi, truly extraordinary—to think you could know my ninjutsu through my eyes."

"I admit this much, I underestimated you. You are even more outstanding than in the original!"

Uchiha Itachi said nothing, only staring faintly at Kuchiki Senya.

"But!" Kuchiki Senya suddenly revealed a cruel smile. His pupils turned black, a strange power spread out, and the Sharingan at the corner of his eye also gradually turned pitch-black. "Now, it is time for you to die!"

Kuchiki Senya pressed both hands onto the ground, and then his eyes burst forth with dazzling light.

Uchiha Itachi's figure instantly froze.

The next second, a long blade pierced through his heart, leaving a large hole in his chest; blood gushed out, nearly dyeing his entire clothing red.

"You, how could you!! When did you—?" Uchiha Itachi asked with wide, unwilling eyes.
