Chapter 109: Speculation, Secrets ( 3/10)
Kekkei Genkai?!
Itachi's forehead furrowed completely.
On the other side, although the battle between Ranmaru and Kisame was quite intense, Kisame's peripheral vision still occasionally glanced toward the position where Itachi and Yuto were fighting.
When seeing that the ninjutsu released by Itachi was actually absorbed by Yuto, a trace of brilliance flashed through Kisame's eyes.
Boom!
With just a moment of distraction, another explosion sound blasted Kisame away.
Kisame's lips twitched; he felt that as a senior, if he were suppressed and beaten by a junior, it would simply be too embarrassing.
The ability to absorb ninjutsu?
This was the second time Itachi had seen this kind of ability; that man who called himself a god also possessed the same ability.
With a slight flick of his fingers, several kunai had already appeared in Itachi's hands, and he forcefully flung them toward Yuto's direction.
The kunai shot toward Yuto's direction at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, several kunai collided in mid-air; the kunai, which were originally flying in a straight line, actually all changed trajectories, shooting toward Yuto's entire body at different angles, targeting every important position.
"It seems you are really planning to capture me, but there is something you seem to have miscalculated; you seem to be a bit too overconfident in yourself."
A faint smile appeared on Yuto's face as a thought moved in his mind.
Suddenly, several chakra chains gushed out from within Yuto's body.
As soon as these chakra chains appeared, they did not surge toward Itachi's current position, but instead attacked toward a spot to Yuto's side.
In an instant, the chakra chains had completely sealed off a patch of empty space to the side, fiercely contracting toward the center.
Lo and behold, the originally empty space suddenly blurred, and immediately, Itachi's figure materialized, instantly bound in place by the chakra chains.
"Many people in this world are bound by certain perceptions; just like the genjutsu you use, what is seen by the eyes is not necessarily real. I understood this point many years ago."
Yuto, sitting on the Hokage Rock, slowly stood up and looked at Itachi, who was bound in place by the chakra chains.
The kunai thrown by Itachi from the other side had already slowly dissipated by the time they got close to Yuto's body.
Evidently, it was merely a genjutsu.
"The Adamantine Sealing Chains of the Uzumaki Clan; who exactly are you?"
Seeing the chakra chains binding him, an expression that exceeded expectations appeared in Itachi's eyes for the first time.
"Who I am is not important; what is important is letting me feel the joy of battle, Uchiha Itachi!"
In Yuto's calm gaze, a rare look of excitement was revealed.
The current ninja world is simply too boring!
And the Itachi before his eyes was one of the few people who could spark Yuto's interest.
Itachi's pupils shrank violently; from Yuto's words, he heard not only that the other party knew who he was, but also that he knew he would appear here!
What made Itachi feel even more moved was that the moment the other party spoke, he sensed a feeling of pressure he had never felt before.
As Yuto's voice fell, the chakra chains began to contract forcefully, as if wanting to grind Itachi into a pile of mud.
Susanoo!
Itachi glared fiercely with both eyes, and the humanoid warrior composed of orange-red chakra instantly centered on Itachi, continuously growing larger toward the surroundings.
At the same time, it pressed outward against the constantly tightening chakra chains, wanting to break free from their restraint.
Creak! Creak!
The chakra chains and Susanoo pressed against each other, continuously emitting piercing sounds.
"With just this level of strength, you cannot arouse my interest."
Yuto reached out his hand, making a slight gripping motion.
The chakra chains binding the Susanoo began to contract unceasingly once more.
Crack!
An extremely faint sound rang beside Itachi's ear, causing Itachi's face to change.
With Susanoo's defensive power, it actually couldn't withstand the opponent's strength!
The Mangekyo Sharingan in Itachi's right eye began to spin rapidly.
Amaterasu!
The next moment, a stream of strange black flames instantly ignited the chakra chains, while rapidly burning toward Yuto's direction along the chains.
Seeing this scene, a thought moved in Yuto's mind, and the chakra chains immediately broke, preventing the Amaterasu from burning over along them.
On the other side, Itachi also used the power of Amaterasu to break free from Yuto's restraint.
Itachi manipulated the Susanoo to retreat continuously; although he had broken free from the opponent's restraint.
But a look of caution that he had never shown before was on Itachi's face.
The opponent had only made a move once so far, yet directly forced his Susanoo out.
With such strength as the opponent's, it is impossible for them to be obscure in the ninja world; who exactly are they?
Moreover, the opponent seems to be able to control the Mist Village's attack forces; what exactly is this person's goal?
Such a person, if I had not made a move this time, would probably have remained hidden in the shadows.
Sand Ninja, Mist Ninja, and Orochimaru!
Itachi suddenly felt that he seemed to have discovered some important secret.
And the person before his eyes is the key to it all; whether for the sake of the Hidden Leaf or for Sasuke, he must capture this person and get to the bottom of this!
Thinking of this, Itachi could no longer bother to hide his strength; he directly closed his right eye, widened his left eye, looked toward Yuto's direction, and shouted softly:
"Tsukuyomi!"
Yuto only felt his spirit suddenly dizzy for an instant, and his entire person already appeared in a crimson-colored space.
Genjutsu again!
As expected, dealing with genjutsu-type ninjas is truly troublesome; this thought flashed through Yuto's mind.
"Welcome to this world."
"In the world of Tsukuyomi, space, time, and mass are all dominated by me."
An eerie voice entered Yuto's ears from the front.
Itachi, holding swords in both hands, stood in front of Yuto and spoke with a cold expression.
Yuto directly ignored Itachi before his eyes, instead raising his head to examine the Tsukuyomi space with great interest.
Yuto was quite interested in this mental space, where according to legend, no matter how much time passes inside, it is but an instant on the outside.
However, after looking a few times, Yuto withdrew his gaze; the entire world was too monotonous, completely set up just to create a terrifying atmosphere.
"If it were a while ago, facing this kind of genjutsu of yours, I could only resist head-on, but now..."
Yuto looked at Itachi, a faint smile floating on his face.
Boom!
A sound like muffled thunder suddenly exploded throughout the entire Tsukuyomi space.
