"Die!" Ryoha turned into a bolt of lightning and suddenly arrived in front of Itachi. He directly pierced his Raikiri through Itachi's chest. The violent lightning showed everyone that Ryoha was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.
"Your Raikiri is really powerful. I think even if Kakashi uses it, it will not be like this. Even I can only dodge, but you are still no match for me." The body of Itachi, who was stabbed, slowly turned into a pile of water and was immediately electrocuted by Raikiri's lightning.
"Fire Release, Fireball Jutsu!" A huge blazing fireball swallowed Ryoha surrounding him and burning him with intense heat. It was the same Fireball Jutsu, but Itachi's Fireball was much more powerful. It was completely incomparable to Sasuke's. The reputation of the Uchiha family, who was good at Fire Release, was vividly displayed in Itachi's hands.
"Tsk, your trash little brother is arrogant, and you're just the same. Did I say that my strength is only this much? Open your eyes and see clearly. Fire Release, Fireball Jutsu!."
Although Ryoha hated Sasuke, he did not dare to underestimate Itachi. Ryoha was straightforward with his strength.
Even one's soul was undamaged, unlike Orochimaru, and as pure as Jiraiya's or Tsunade's, as long as Itachi used any of his Mangekyo's jutsu, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and the Susanoo, they would most likely be defeated.
However, Ryoha was sure that although Itachi might use Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu on him. He wouldn't dare to use any more powerful visual jutsu because once he used them, he would not be able to wait for Sasuke to grow up. His condition wasn't very good to begin with, unlike Ryoha or Guy, who were taijutsu experts.
Moreover, The Mangekyo Sharingan had a lot of burden on the eyes and body. In addition, his body was seriously ill, and he was supported by medicines. Once he used the Susanoo, He would also die without a doubt.
Therefore, Ryoha dared to fight Itachi with his current strength. Although Amaterasu was horrifying, it was not unsolvable. He could still fight them, but Susanoo was too troublesome.
With Ryoha's current strength, there was no way he could fight back. Therefore, Ryoha was sure that Itachi would not use the Susanoo even if he retreated. Then he would have to fight. He really wanted to use this battle with Itachi to deepen his understanding of genjutsu.
"Will he..? Or..? Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet! Fire Release - Phoenix Flower!" Itachi's Sharingan spun around and immediately saw through Ryoha's Fireball Jutsu. His water dragon extinguished the fireball, and at the same time, he shot Phoenix Flames out one after another. This was the enhanced version of the Phoenix Flames, with a shuriken inside the flames.
"Fire Escape, Phoenix Flower!" Ryoha copied this ninjutsu and used the same ninjutsu to break it.
"Sure enough, he can actually instantly learn my ninjutsu? Impossible. No one except me knows about this move. He can't learn it from other places." Itachi looked at Ryoha in disbelief. He had already decided in his heart that he must use the Akatsuki's intelligence to get rid of Ryoha after this.
"Why are you so surprised? How can you, who can learn ninjutsu by relying on Sharingan, understand me who could learn any jutsu instantly?" In order to deal the finishing blow to Itachi, Ryoha was willing to do anything. He even said such words.
"Even if you can learn it, so what? The difference in strength is not something you can understand. Now, let me show you my genjutsu, Demonic Illusion: Shackle Stakes!"
Itachi still did not use his Sharingan. In the original story, he did not want to fight a protracted war against Kakashi's Sharingan. Otherwise, he would attract other ninjas from Konoha. That was why he used Tsukuyomi to end the battle quickly. After all, there was still Kurenai, Guy, and Asuma by his side. The four were no ordinary Jonins.
All kinds of secret techniques were released at the same time. Unless he were willing to disregard his body and collapse, it would be very dangerous. After all, his two weakness was his frail body and his will to pass everything he had to Sasuke.
"Genjutsu? Today I will show the legendary genjutsu that can only be used by the great Yuuhi Shinku, Genjutsu - Land of Illusions!"
That's right. This was something that even Kurenai couldn't learn. According to the legend, even the Mangekyo Sharingan couldn't break or reflect this genjutsu, but Ryoha was a bit reluctant. After all, his strength and genjutsu power were not comparable to Kurenai's father.
"Bang!"
Itachi felt his soul sink. He already knew that his genjutsu was inferior to his opponent's. At the same time, when he heard the words Yuuhi Shnku, he couldn't help but quickly transform his 3-tomoe Sharingan. The three tomoes on his eyes suddenly merged together, and the scenes from the genjutsu suddenly shattered like a mirror. Obviously, at the critical moment, he activated the Mangekyo. Otherwise, once he was pulled into the illusion world created by Ryoha, he would be in trouble.
"Is this power of Mangekyo? In Itachi's hands, its power is really terrifying. " A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Ryoha's mouth. Obviously, although the Illusion World technique broke through Itachi's genjutsu, it also got broken by the power of Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan. In the end, it was not that this special genjutsu was not strong, but Ryoha's current strength was still too weak.
"Truly a powerful genjutsu. If you are a bit stronger, even I will find it difficult to break it. You are really a genius." Itachi's eyes had already turned into Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Haha, I didn't expect that this kid would actually be able to force Itachi to use the Mangekyo. However, this is the end for him." Kisame said gloatingly. However, because he was distracted, his face was scratched by Asuma's chakra blades.
"Mangekyo? The Sharingan above the 3-tomoe?" After all, Kurenai was the daughter of the great Yuuhi Shinku. Although her father died when she was very young, she had heard about Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Why is it like this? Is it because of the Mangekyo? It seems that the difference in strength between the Mangekyo and the Sharingan below it was too great. The Mangekyo really did suppress everything below its level.
"Damn, I was sure that in the original story, Sasuke could not fight Itachi at all since it was only a show of power, where Itachi let Sasuke taste a bit of his Mangekyo's power. The suppression of the Mangekyo Sharingan was difficult to resist using the 3-tomoe."
"Even if the power of my current Sharingan exceeds the power of all Uchiha clansmen and could be said was invincible against the Mangekyo thanks to the Nine-Tails chakra, no matter how strong the 3-tomoes are, they are still just a 3-tomoe. The suppression of Mangekyo is still too strong!"
Ryoha felt a strange sensation coming from his eyes and thought in his heart.
