Chereads / Naruto: Bloodline Limit / Chapter 139 - Joining Forces

Chapter 139 - Joining Forces

Ryoha laughed inside his heart. After suffering mental damage from the previous battle with Itachi, he found that his understanding of genjutsu had improved a lot. In addition, he was constantly studying Shinku's notes every day.

As his mastery of genjutsu increased, he started to understand many things he couldn't before. With his powerful spiritual energy, his continuous increase in genjutsu mastery, and the Mangekyo, he finally won against Itachi in a genjutsu battle.

Ryoha was very grateful to Yuuhi Shinku. If he had not left his notes on genjutsu behind, maybe Ryoha would need to spend countless years to reach this level.

"How could this be? Although his genjutsu was not bad last time, the main difference was his spiritual energy. He was strong enough to resist my genjutsu now. How did such a big change happen? His mastery in genjutsu has steadily surpassed mine..."

Itachi looked at Ryoha in disbelief. The genjutsu that he was proud of was actually defeated by the person in front of him, and it was an utter defeat.

"Sure enough, when our mastery in genjutsu is at the same level, the result would be decided by the amplification from the Bloodline Limit and the level of our spiritual energy. It is obvious that my Inverted Cross Mangekyo is stronger than your Mangekyo. My spiritual energy and genjutsu mastery have also improved. How can you not lose to me, Itachi?"

Ryoha started to provoke Itachi in order to discover more of his secrets. He could not help but mock the older Uchiha.

"It's really amazing. Although Itachi's strength is not yet at the Kage level, he has the Mangekyo and Amaterasu, Which are enough to defeat an ordinary Kage-level ninja.

"Unfortunately, he, who is a highly sought criminal, was defeated by Ryoha, a mere 12-year-old kid."

Even though Jiraya knew that if he fought with Itachi, he would be able to defeat him, and if he was determined to make him stay, he would be able to kill him if he paid some price, he didn't expect Ryoha to improve so quickly.

In particular, the unprecedented Bloodline Limit that Ryoha displayed made him, a member of Legendary Sannin of Konoha, shiver inside his heart.

"Itachi-san, you seem to be in trouble this time. Your Amaterasu has already been used once, and you just used the Tsukuyomi on your little brother. His eyes seem to be the same as yours, but why do his eyes seem to be stronger than yours?. What should we do now?"

As Itachi's long-time partner, Kisame had a better understanding of the Visual Jutsu of the Mangekyo. He also had a good understanding of Itachi's strengths.

Now that he saw a person who was better than Itachi in genjutsu and whose eyes were stronger, he also felt that it would be very troublesome if this fight continued. If it was just Ryoha, he would not be afraid. But this time, there was also Jiraiya, who had been watching them covetously.

"Perhaps my time has come." Itachi muttered. He was still unfazed by the situation. He only looked at Sasuke with a vague look,

"Sasuke, it seems that my body and eyes will not be able to hold until you grow up to let you awaken your Mangekyo."

"Prepare for the worst." Itachi took off his Akatsuki robe and threw it aside. Obviously, the reason why he decided to accept the challenge was not only because he could not avoid it but also because of his pride.

Ryoha, an outsider, was actually able to use the Sharingan to the extent that even the member of the Uchiha clan couldn't. He wanted to use his own Sharingan to defeat Ryoha, telling everyone that even if someone could master the Sharingan, they would be no match for the Uchihas. Ryoha deeply stimulated the pride that he had buried deep in his heart, so this time he was ready to go all out.

"I know very well about the side effects of using a Visual Jutsu. Now that you have used the Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, I think you don't have anything else to turn the tables. Except... the Susanoo."

Ryoha's words shook Itachi's heart. Sure enough, Ryoha had already reached that stage after awakening and developing the Mangekyo in such a short time. Otherwise, he wouldn't know anything about the Susanoo. Itachi was originally assured by his secret weapon, but now, their battle would be harder than he imagined.

"Susanoo?! What is it? Is it a more powerful Visual Jutsu than Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi? The Mangekyo is really powerful. Although the side effects from using them are severe, the sheer amount of power was worth the risk."

Hearing this, Jiraiya also noted down the words "Susanoo" deep inside his heart. At the same time, he was also amazed by the power of Mangekyo, even if he was not as strong. If he got the Mangekyo, just his Visual Jutsu alone would be able to injure some ordinary Kage-level ninja. Those ill-fated ninjas were very likely to be burned by Amaterasu's flames.

"It seems that this time I have to join hands with Kisame. I originally planned to use Susanoo to defeat this brat and then immediately leave. But now it seems that it won't work. His taijutsu is very strong, and his physical fitness is absolutely very high. He has just awakened the Mangekyo for a short time, but I think he can withstand the side effects of the Susanoo. I don't know about myself, though."

After Itachi's last hope was broken, the idea of fighting for his pride was thrown to the side. After all, if he didn't have to t worry about Sasuke in the slightest, he would definitely decide the outcome of the battle with Ryoha for the pride in his heart, even if he died.

But not now. Since he knew that using Susanoo might not be of any use to him, there was Sasuke waiting for him. If he still used Susanoo in this situation, then he would just be an idiot. Thinking of this, Itachi secretly looked at Kisame.

Kisame nodded. He knew that Itachi meant that both of them would attack at the same time. Even if they could not defeat Ryoha, they had to kill him before Jiraya attacked.

Although this was a bit difficult, they had to do it. If they fought separately, they would definitely be defeated one by one, and it would be even more difficult to escape.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave!" Kisame used a powerful Water Release technique that could change the terrain. At the same time, it was also full of attacking power.

"Damn, this bastard. This is a town. Not many people will survive if they are hit by the water like this."

Jiraiya's expression changed. He quickly released a unique skill similar to the Toad Mouth Bind. However, this time, it was different. It wasn't drawn out of the corridor's wall, but it appeared around the houses and passages inside the town, blocking all the water from damaging the town.

The flesh wall was separated so much that its defense became very weak, but blocking these water currents enabled the townspeople to escape quickly.
