Chapter 124 Meeting the Real Sasuke
Chapter 124 Meeting the Real Sasuke
Trapped in the spherical water-style escape technique, Sasuke could only see Kisame's somewhat blurry figure through the constantly flowing water.
The next moment, Sasuke suddenly stopped struggling and closed his eyes.
They seemed to be resignedly waiting for death to come.
However, Kisame, who had been Itachi's partner for a long time, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. Rumors related to Sasuke's death suddenly flooded his mind at this moment.
Just as Kisame began to have doubts, Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes.
Kisame also saw very clearly those scarlet eyes that were different from the pattern on Itachi Uchiha's eyes.
As expected, it's the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Knowing the terrifying power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Kisame immediately retreated. The next moment, pitch-black flames ignited inside the water sphere.
An unexpected scene unfolded: the black flames were not extinguished by the water, but instead ignited the water!
"Amaterasu!"
After activating the Mangekyou Sharingan's inherent abilities, Sasuke successfully escaped from the water sphere.
Even without Itachi Uchiha's intervention, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan ability was still Amaterasu.
After escaping, Sasuke did not recall Amaterasu; instead, he looked towards Kisame.
The moment Amaterasu appeared, Kisame recognized it and kept trying to escape from Sasuke's sight.
The pitch-black Amaterasu followed Sasuke's gaze relentlessly behind Kisame.
As Kisame fled, he kept forming hand seals.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
The raging torrent of water rushed towards Sasuke, while also temporarily blocking Amaterasu's flames.
Sasuke dodged the water jutsu, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips, and prepared to unleash Amaterasu again.
But the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes, so intense that he covered them unbearably.
Kisame, who was the first to notice that Amaterasu had stopped, looked over and saw Sasuke covering his eyes. A knowing look flashed in his eyes.
However, Kisame did not seize this opportunity to retaliate. He walked back to Sameho's position, slung the huge weapon back on his back, and said, "Let's end this battle here."
Sasuke, who had just turned around from the excruciating pain, gave Kisame a cold look.
Although the battle was intense, Kisame's killing intent wasn't that strong, and Sasuke naturally sensed that as well.
At this moment, Kimimaro, who was not far away, also rushed over after seeing Amaterasu's flames and large-scale water escaping.
Seeing that Sasuke, though injured, was otherwise unharmed, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Hidan and Kakuzu are quite strong, but fortunately Kimimaro is now able to use his Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) at will without any burden.
The Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit is naturally suited for combat, possessing great strength in both attack and defense. Kimimaro held his own against two opponents.
But upon seeing that Sasuke had used Amaterasu, Kimimaro rushed over immediately.
Amaterasu's flames would not go out until the object was completely burned. At this moment, in a large forest around them, the dark flames continued to burn, which also attracted the attention of the other side.
Aili glanced in the direction of Sasuke from afar and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "I told you Sasuke wasn't good enough, he's not going to get beaten to death, is he?"
Aili's voice was loud and undisguised, and the Konoha members opposite him also heard Sasuke's name.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto called out anxiously.
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and gave Kakashi a look, after which Kakashi led Naruto and Sakura in pursuit of Sasuke.
August and Eli did not stop them; they simply turned and flew towards Sasuke's direction as well.
Jiraiya and Guy were shocked and quickly led their men to follow.
Soon after, the Akatsuki, Konoha, and August's group finally met.
"Sasuke!!!"
Looking at that incredibly familiar figure from afar, Naruto was overwhelmed with a mix of excitement, joy, and confusion.
Sasuke, who had been coldly staring at Kisame, turned around when he heard a familiar voice in the distance.
Sasuke's eyes had recovered from the excruciating pain, and his three-tomoe crimson pupils met Naruto's gaze as he rushed over.
The moment their eyes met, Naruto rushed straight at him, filled with too many questions and too many thoughts.
Naruto's excitement stopped the moment Sasuke raised the Kusanagi Sword and pointed it at him.
Even though he already knew that the person who stabbed him and Sakura in Konoha was Eri, Sasuke's eyes and actions now seemed to overlap with Eri's back then.
Kakashi, who also saw Sasuke's actions, frowned and subtly shielded the stunned Naruto behind him.
Sakura was equally excited, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Sasuke, you're still alive, that's wonderful..."
Seeing Naruto and Sakura's delighted expressions, completely unaware of what was happening, Sasuke's mind was once again filled with memories of Konoha's actions towards the Uchiha.
They're laughing so happily.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village is laughing so happily!
How can they stand on the blood of the Uchiha and still laugh so happily without knowing anything about it?
Under negative emotions, Sasuke felt more and more chakra flowing into his Mangekyou Sharingan.
He sneered and said, "What, Konoha has also set its sights on the Three-Tails?"
The sarcasm in his words was obvious, and Kakashi couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, August, Jiraiya, and the others also arrived.
Seeing Sasuke's current state, Eric laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, Sasuke, you're really pathetic."
Sasuke now basically ignores Aili's taunts.
Seeing how familiar Aili and Sasuke seemed, Naruto couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Sasuke, do you know this guy impersonated you to return to Konoha?! He..."
"I know."
Naruto's excited voice was suddenly choked up by Sasuke's three words.
Looking at Sasuke's extremely cold expression, the suspicions that he had been unwilling to admit before could no longer be avoided.
Sasuke knew everything about Eric's actions, and even helped Eric to disguise himself more convincingly.
"I heard Eric stabbed you?"
A hint of malice gradually surfaced in Sasuke's eyes: "What a pity. If that knife had pierced his heart, even a Jinchuriki would have died, right?"
Kakashi and Sakura stared in disbelief at Sasuke for saying those words.
Jiraiya glanced at Naruto, whose face was filled with disbelief, and said, "Give up, Naruto. He is no longer the Sasuke you know."
Naruto clenched his fists even tighter, staring intently at Sasuke with unwavering determination: "Even if I break your legs, I will bring you back to Konoha, Sasuke!"
"One day, I will return to Konoha," Sasuke sneered. "However, at that time, what I do to Konoha might be even more outrageous than what Eri and Orochimaru did!"
