Chapter 146: Is That All?
Chapter 146: Is That All?
Facing Yuyi Xuan Yue's casual wave, Itachi Uchiha remained silent, his eyes locking onto the other man's without hindrance. Without hesitation, he launched a genjutsu attack.
"Magical Binding Stakes!"
Within the genjutsu space that Itachi had just formed, he was about to drive large iron stakes into Yuyi Xuan Yue's body.
Yuyi Xuan Yue glanced at him calmly.
Crack!
The sound of shattering mirrors rang out once more.
In less than a breath, the two returned to reality.
In the Warring States era, Yuyi Xuan Yue was renowned as an equal to Uchiha Madara, and he had ample experience countering genjutsu.
Now that his main body had descended and his strength was at its peak, it was effortless for him to counter not just the Magical Binding Stakes technique but also the powerful Tsukuyomi, thanks to the experience he had gained moments ago.
This was why he fearlessly locked eyes with Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan.
Itachi realized this after his initial probe.
He didn't attempt to use Tsukuyomi again.
The previous Uchiha member had provided a unique solution, and as Yuyi Xuan Yue's superior, he likely possessed similar means.
Additionally, each use of a Mangekyo Sharingan technique strained his vision and took a toll on his body.
When facing an opponent like Yuyi Xuan Yue, he knew that he had to make every move count.
Itachi flipped his hands, and eight shuriken flew towards Yuyi Xuan Yue's vital points, following a precise arc.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Like colliding with steel, Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't even spare a glance at those insignificant weapons, his skin untouched.
"Don't waste time with these trivial tests."
He lifted his eyelids, his voice indifferent,
"My time is precious. If you're unwilling to end this swiftly, then I'll give you a push."
As his words landed, Yuyi Xuan Yue stepped forward with his right foot.
Boom!!!
The ground shook.
As the ground cracked like a spider web, Yuyi Xuan Yue moved with lightning speed, taking a single step that covered dozens of meters, bringing him right before Itachi.
Unlike the previous clone that had dazzled with its array of stances, Yuyi Xuan Yue simply extended his right hand, his fingers curled, his elbow tucked, and his hips rotated.
In this instant, even an ordinary person could predict the trajectory of his action. A straightforward punch was delivered without any flourish.
At any other time, Itachi, with his Mangekyo Sharingan, could have played with his opponent in a hundred different ways, manipulating them at his whim.
But his opponent was Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Recalling the abilities attributed to him and the results of the previous test, Itachi dared not underestimate this seemingly simple punch. He crossed his arms, intending to block Yuyi Xuan Yue's fist and counter-attack.
Boom!
A violent blast of air exploded outward with tangible force.
Completely caught off guard by the sheer power of Yuyi Xuan Yue's punch, Itachi felt as though he had collided with a legendary giant. With a loud sonic boom, he was sent flying backward, crashing into over a dozen trees and leaving a deep furrow in the ground before finally coming to a halt, coughing up blood.
One force overcoming ten.
Unlike the clone that had fought with the aid of the Mangekyo Sharingan, employing a skill-based fighting style, the true Yuyi Xuan Yue's combat approach was domineering, direct, and decisive.
It was far more efficient.
Just like now.
Even against a Mangekyo Sharingan user, he didn't bother with fancy techniques. He simply threw a punch, confident that whether his opponent chose to defend or dodge, they would still be within his rhythm.
"The power of this punch is comparable to Tsunade's famed monstrous strength, the current Fifth Hokage."
Kakashi, his hands still trembling, quickly got to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, his pupils narrowing slightly as a look of shock crossed his face.
In the past, the intelligence on Yuyi Xuan Yue had never mentioned that he possessed great strength.
"Has he made another new advancement?"
Kakashi thought of this, noting the oppressive aura that Yuyi Xuan Yue exuded, making it hard to even breathe.
He wasted no more time and summoned his most powerful defense.
Susanoo!
A massive orange-red skeletal frame enveloped his entire body.
Before Kakashi could do anything more, Yuyi Xuan Yue was already upon him, unleashing another punch without hesitation.
Crack!
The Susanoo that Kakashi had just formed shattered, leaving a gaping hole.
Kakashi's pupils contracted sharply, and he swiftly retreated.
In the next instant, the ground where he had just been standing exploded, creating a massive crater.
As the thick smoke and dust cleared, Yuyi Xuan Yue calmly rose, his right hand still poised from where he had struck the ground, brushing off the dust from his fist before waving his hand to summon a gust of wind that blew away the remaining debris.
With his vision cleared, Yuyi Xuan Yue turned to face Kakashi once more.
The Susanoo that had just been shattered now reformed around Kakashi, more robust and formidable than before.
Not only that, but the previously thin-looking red skeletal frame had now become more substantial, adorned with an awe-inspiring armor of the Heavenly Dog.
"Is that all? Just the third form?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue asked, his tone laced with disappointment.
To anyone else, witnessing Kakashi's Susanoo at this moment would have been awe-inspiring.
But Yuyi Xuan Yue had once witnessed Uchiha Madara's complete Susanoo.
Compared to the memory of that majestic blue Susanoo, which stood as tall as a mountain, the red Susanoo before him still fell short.
Hearing Yuyi Xuan Yue's words, Kakashi remained unmoved. With a calm step forward, the massive red Susanoo exuded an overwhelming pressure as it advanced towards Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Yuyi Xuan Yue observed this, shaking his head. With a steady stride, he threw another punch at the Susanoo.
This time, however, Kakashi was prepared. His eyes narrowed, and the Susanoo's left hand shot out, summoning a mirror-like shield of colossal proportions that stood between him and Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Boom!
The ground shook once more.
Despite Yuyi Xuan Yue's Steel Release and immense strength, which could easily topple the wooden dragon, his punch had no effect.
Not only did the Susanoo remain unmoved, but the mirror-like shield also reflected a force that Yuyi Xuan Yue recognized all too well.
"Oh?"
For the first time, Yuyi Xuan Yue took a step back.
"Yata Mirror?"
He raised an eyebrow as he felt the force of his own punch rebounding from the palm of his hand.
The Yata Mirror was one of the most famous non-corporeal spiritual tools in the history of the Uchiha clan.
It possessed all chakra nature transformations and could change its attributes to neutralize incoming ninjutsu.
Moreover, it could reflect any physical attack.
In all honesty, it was even more powerful than the famed Five-Layered Rinnegan, touted as the ultimate defense.
