Chapter 140 Aren't you curious where my eyes came from?
Sasuke choked on his words and fell silent.
He pursed his lips, not answering directly.
Sasuke's mind raced, cold sweat rolling down his forehead.
He knew very well that this imposter was cold-blooded and ruthless, and would never let him and Naruto go easily.
Naruto's condition is currently unknown; his ankle is white and he has difficulty walking.
I was too impulsive today!
He and Naruto might just die here.
Sasuke inwardly groaned, regret and unease washing over him like ice water.
On the other side, hidden by the trees, Naruto lay sprawled at the base of a large tree, curled up on the ground in a disheveled position.
Naruto finally caught his breath and let out a low groan of pain.
It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, and my ribs ached with every breath.
He paused for a few seconds, then struggled to sit up despite a wave of dizziness. As soon as he looked down, he vomited a large mouthful of acidic water mixed with a few drops of blood foam—clearly, his internal organs had been injured by the shock.
asshole!
He actually... got kicked away by this guy in one go?!
This was the first time Naruto had faced such a terrifying enemy.
"Oh·--"
Itachi looked down at Sasuke, whose face showed remorse, and let out a cryptic chuckle. "Heh, you seem to know something, but don't you care at all about your brother's fate?"
His voice was icy and chilling, each word like a sharp blade piercing the heart.
Sasuke's expression changed drastically upon hearing this!
"Wh-what?"
Sasuke had never thought about it in detail before, or perhaps he dared not think about it in detail.
If this guy is just a fake Uchiha, then where is the real Itachi Uchiha?!
Seeing Sasuke's face suddenly turn pale and his expression shaken violently, a faint, imperceptible pain flashed through my heart.
But to help Sasuke take things a step further, he resolutely reached out and slowly touched his eyes, unhurriedly, as if recounting an ordinary little thing: "Aren't you curious where these eyes of mine came from?"
The calm words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Sasuke's mind!
He froze completely, his heart skipping a beat.
"Eye?"
Itachi spread his arms, revealing an almost manic smile, his hoarse, low laughter continuing: "Hahaha,"
Your brother has great eyesight, it works very well!
His voice trembled wildly, sounding particularly jarring in the silent air.
Sasuke's eyes widened, as if struck by lightning, and he froze.
My mind went completely blank, and my eyes lost focus.
What—what kind of joke is this?
Those eyes... in an instant, Sasuke felt as if the whole world had frozen.
The surrounding sounds seemed to be drawn away.
The words Itachi had just said kept echoing in my ears.
"The glasses are great, they work very well!"
That sentence echoed in the depths of his mind like a curse, refusing to leave and forcing his nerves to tighten little by little.
"Ah—one!!"
The next moment, the tomoe in Sasuke's eyes suddenly accelerated their rotation!
Within the crimson pupils, two tomoe raced after each other, as if stimulated to the extreme by the boiling chakra. With a "whoosh," the third tomoe suddenly took shape!
In just a moment, Sasuke's Sharingan had transformed from a two-tomoe Sharingan to a three-tomoe Sharingan!
Three tomoe marks were evenly distributed in those scarlet eyes, slowly rotating and emitting a chilling, sharp light.
Sasuke felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and the scenery in his vision seemed to become incredibly clear, with an eerie blood-red halo.
He could no longer suppress the rage that erupted in his heart like a volcano, and tears mixed with blood streamed down his face.
He roared, his voice hoarse and filled with hatred: "Beasts!! Die one by one!!"
Consumed by rage, Sasuke completely lost his reason.
He completely ignored his swollen and white right foot, dragged his injured leg, and suddenly sprang up, charging towards the weasel like a mad beast!
Dust billowed up behind him, and the ground cracked like a spiderweb as he stomped on it with sudden force.
He moved so fast that he left afterimages, and he didn't stop even when his ankle was in excruciating pain.
"Aaaaaah!"
With bloodshot eyes, Sasuke roared and lunged at his enemy who was right next to him!
He remained standing still, the manic smile on his face gone, replaced by an indifferent and cold expression.
Faced with his younger brother's desperate attack, which seemed to burn with his life force, a glint flashed in his dark eyes.
With a flicker, Itachi Uchiha vanished from the spot!
not good!
Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply, and before he could react, he felt a sharp whooshing sound coming from behind him.
"Bang!"
A dull thud resounded.
Itachi had somehow gotten behind Sasuke and struck him hard on the back of the neck with a chop!
This attack was both fast and accurate. Even though Sasuke had activated his Sharingan with three tomoe, he still couldn't catch Itachi's movements at all!
He felt a numbness in the back of his neck, followed by an excruciating pain that instantly overwhelmed him, causing him to fall forward as if struck by a hammer.
Sasuke's legs buckled, and he uncontrollably knelt on the ground. His consciousness rapidly blurred, and darkness kept creeping into the edges of his vision.
At the last moment, he seemed to hear Naruto calling his name in a heart-wrenching voice, and he vaguely saw a familiar orange figure running towards him in the distance.
Standing behind the unconscious Sasuke, he slowly straightened up.
He looked down at his brother's fallen figure at his feet, and a ripple quietly appeared in the depths of his originally calm and empty eyes.
By the bright moonlight, one could see a complex and unfathomable expression flash across Itachi's mask-like, cold face.
At that moment, a sense of alarm suddenly arose in Itachi's heart.
He keenly sensed a powerful surge of chakra in the air, sharp as a blade, locking onto the spot!
Itachi's pupils contracted slightly, and he abruptly turned his head.
In the shadows not far away, a tall man with disheveled white hair stood.
The newcomer was wearing a red, wide-sleeved kimono vest, with an oil-shaped headband on his forehead and two striking red lines on his cheekbones. He was none other than Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha!
At this moment, Jiraiya's expression was less relaxed than usual, and more solemn.
His sharp gaze first swept quickly over Sasuke, who was lying motionless on the ground. Seeing that Sasuke's chest was still rising and falling slightly, indicating that he was still breathing, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew—I think I made it in time."
Jiraiya muttered to himself, his tense face slightly misty.
He could sense that Sasuke, though unconscious, was not in mortal danger and had not suffered any fatal injuries.
"Perverted Sage!! You've finally arrived!" Naruto's surprised and delighted shout suddenly came from the side.
Naruto's eyes were red, and his voice was thick with nasal congestion and sobs from anger, making him sound like he was about to cry.
"Sasuke, he——!"
Jiraiya turned around at the sound and saw that Naruto's eyes were bloodshot.
When has Naruto ever shown such an angry and sad expression?
Jiraiya was puzzled, but his expression had already darkened.
"What's going on, Naruto?" he asked in a deep voice.
"He did something really outrageous to Sasuke! You perverted sage, you have to teach him a lesson!" Naruto, his eyes red and choked with sobs, pointed at Itachi Uchiha standing not far away and angrily accused him.
Clearly, Naruto had heard every single one of Itachi's cold and ruthless words.
Having witnessed Sasuke's expression of collapse and pain, and then watched Sasuke being knocked down by Itachi, Naruto's chest had been suppressing a raging fire, which finally erupted completely in front of Jiraiya!
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya slowly turned his gaze to Uchiha Itachi, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.
He didn't need to explain any further—the scene before him spoke volumes: Sasuke was injured and unconscious, Naruto was so angry he was in tears, and the culprit was standing not far away!
Jiraiya clenched his fists slightly, revealing the veins beneath his skin.
He looked Itachi up and down, a chill creeping over him.
A black trench coat with red cloud patterns—that's Xiao's outfit!
Their target is probably the Nine-Tails inside Naruto!
In an instant, Jiraiya's mind raced, and various possibilities flashed by.
On the other side, he remained calm, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.
He slowly raised his head, and his gaze met Jiraiya's in the air.
Their eyes met, sparks flew, and the two domineering auras collided silently, making the surrounding air seem to freeze for a moment.
Just then, accompanied by heavy footsteps, another tall figure slowly walked to his side.
Kisame, his mouth full of sharp teeth, said, "I didn't expect the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, to be here too?"
He chuckled maliciously, "Seventh Brother, it seems we came to Konoha at a bad time!"
Kisame was completely unaware that he had been subjected to an illusion spell without his knowledge, and that the spell was only being quietly broken at this moment.
For him, it felt like only a blink of an eye had passed, and he still thought everything was normal.
Even when facing two formidable enemies, Jiraiya maintained his composure and calm demeanor.
As Jiraiya remained on guard, the scene from just a few minutes earlier involuntarily flashed through his mind. He had been discussing village affairs with the Hokage in his office when two young girls suddenly burst in, asking for his help.
They reported breathlessly that suspicious traces of Akatsuki members had been discovered in a remote area west of Konoha Village, and Sasuke and Naruto had given chase!
Fortunately, he hadn't left the village yet and rushed over immediately.
Surprisingly, they actually discovered members of the Akatsuki organization.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, his face revealing a murderous intent.
Let's take this opportunity to clean up those two guys!
If we kill them now, we'll have two fewer enemies by the time of the Chunin Exams.
The atmosphere was tense, fraught with danger, and both sides were poised to strike.
For a moment, even the chirping of insects and the sound of the wind seemed to stop, with only the suppressed killing intent silently confronting and colliding.
Itachi glanced at Kisame.
Kisame nodded almost imperceptibly.
The two were of one mind and acted simultaneously in the next instant!
"Whoosh!" Kisame suddenly brandished his Samehada sword, grinned maliciously, and pounced on Jiraiya and Naruto like a beast!
He was tall but incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye he was right in front of me, his broadsword slashing down from above with a whooshing sound!
Jiraiya's gaze sharpened, and he was about to engage in battle when he suddenly noticed a dark shadow flash past the corner of his eye and a low shout rang out!
"Amaterasu!"
Just then, a black flame suddenly erupted from Naruto's orange coat on his chest!
The black flames burned silently and fiercely in a strange manner, instantly devouring the fabric of Naruto's shirt like maggots clinging to bones.
The flames were completely devoid of light, only a deep black, like the ghostly flames that crawled out of hell!
"!"
The intense heat burned through his clothes, and Naruto felt a tearing, searing pain in his chest.
"Aaaaaah—!!"
He screamed in terror and looked down in horror to find that his body was engulfed in black flames!
"What—what the hell is this?!"
Naruto's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he instinctively reached out to pat the flames on his chest.
"!!!"
Jiraiya's pupils contracted sharply, alarm bells ringing in his mind—was that Amaterasu's black flames?!
Seeing Naruto desperately trying to put out the fire with his bare hands, he was immediately horrified: "Don't move!"
He immediately flipped over to Naruto's side, grabbed Naruto's hands, and said urgently, "Naruto, don't touch that black fire!"
Naruto felt a sharp pain in his wrist from Jiraiya's blow, but the burning sensation in his chest was even more intense; he grimaced in pain.
Tears welled up in her eyes: "You lecherous immortal, this black fire—it's so hot!!"
Jiraiya frowned. He could sense that this black flame was no ordinary fire jutsu. Legend had it that it was a terrifying flame that could burn any substance to ashes!
If this isn't dealt with quickly, Naruto will definitely be burned alive!
