Kakashi was startled. He saw Sasuke peeking out from behind the tree, staring intently at the scene with a mixture of excitement and fear.
Sasuke is here too?
Kakashi sensed something was wrong, and a bead of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Recalling the almost frantic expression on Dream Itachi's face as he tracked him down, his mind raced.
Could it be that the real Itachi Uchiha kidnapped Sasuke and lured the Itachi Uchiha in the dream to this place?
This speculation is astonishing, but it best fits all the current signs.
Kakashi recalled everything that had happened this morning, and his thoughts became clearer.
He had no doubt about Itachi's true stance towards Konoha and his protective instincts towards Sasuke.
But he couldn't understand it at all.
Why go to all that trouble to lure this dream weasel out and face him alone?
If they are worried that Dream Itachi might threaten Konoha or Sasuke, they can join forces with others to control him.
Why take such a risk?
Seeing the imminent battle below, Kakashi subconsciously reached for the kunai at his waist, hesitating whether to intervene.
Kakashi's eyes flickered as he quickly weighed the pros and cons.
The current situation is unpredictable and treacherous. If he were to show himself rashly, it might disrupt Itachi's plans and make the situation even more complicated.
After all, Itachi went to great lengths to lure Dream Itachi here, so he must have had his reasons.
Just then, Kakashi keenly spotted a familiar spatial fluctuation flashing across the top of a large tree not far to his right.
He felt a chill run down his spine.
"Obito... is here too?"
Kakashi gritted his teeth, feeling even heavier in his heart.
The situation had developed to this point, clearly exceeding his expectations.
A desperate battle between two Itachis, Sasuke's safety, and the elusive Obito...
Given this chaotic situation, should we immediately inform Lord Jiraiya?
Kakashi pondered for a moment, then rejected the idea.
He's currently too busy to be in two places at once. By the time he rushes off to deliver the message and returns, the battle will likely have already been decided, and Sasuke's fate will be unimaginable.
The only option now is to act according to circumstances and adapt to changing situations.
Kakashi composed himself and pulled out his Sharingan from under his headband.
He planned to find an opportunity to sneak up on Sasuke first; no matter what, he had to ensure Sasuke's safety!
If anything gets out of control, he will immediately take Sasuke away from danger.
At this very moment, in the clearing of the Death Forest, two identical, cold-faced figures stood tense, their killing intent reaching its peak.
In the shadows, Sasuke gritted his teeth, an ominous premonition lingering, a dark cloud slowly creeping in—Brother, can we win?
That monster has revealed its true form and even awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan...
Chapter 242 Absolute Power Susanoo
In reality, Itachi's eyes turned bloodshot, and his Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly began to spin rapidly.
In an instant, the pattern in his eyes released an invisible and terrifying power, sweeping towards the figure opposite him like a monstrous wave!
At the same time, Dream Itachi on the opposite side also sensed something in an instant.
Next up is a contest of illusions!
However, his reactions were equally quick and agile.
Almost at the same moment Itachi in the real world activated his genjutsu, Itachi in the dream world also suddenly changed his eyes.
The next second, his eyes blazed with light:
"Magic Mirror: The World Turns!"
The dream version of Itachi reflects the illusion cast by the real Itachi back in a more sophisticated way!
Suddenly, the scene before Itachi's eyes spun around!
In the blink of an eye, Itachi felt the scene before him distort violently and spin around, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
Suddenly, a series of piercing and eerie caws rang in his ears, and countless blood-red crows appeared out of thin air, frantically flapping their wings and surging towards him from all directions!
Each of those crows had the crimson light of Sharingan reflected in its eyes, emitting eerie screechs as they tried to drag him into an endless hell of illusions!
"Wha-what?!"
The real Itachi was shocked, and an incredulous look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
He never expected that the opponent's illusion skills were so advanced that even his most confident illusion attacks could be so easily deflected!
However, even so, he quickly regained his composure.
Illusion was, after all, his proudest skill, and even if he were caught off guard, he was confident he could break free immediately.
In reality, Itachi's eye power surged, and the Mangekyou Sharingan flashed red light. His powerful mental strength, like a sharp blade, instantly severed all illusions!
The countless illusory crows shattered and vanished in an instant, and the scene before him returned to clarity.
However, it was precisely during that fraction of a second of blank space when Itachi in the real world forcibly broke free from the genjutsu's bindings that Itachi in the dream world accurately captured it.
Before Itachi could even catch his breath, a cold, sharp light was already aimed straight at his face.
The figure of Dream Weasel instantly closed in, a cold kunai carrying a sharp killing intent stabbing towards him!
The kunai tore through the air with a piercing whistling sound.
In reality, the kunai's rapidly enlarging, cold glint was reflected in Itachi's pupils.
In a moment of desperation, he instinctively leaned his body backward and slammed his feet against the ground, shooting backward with incredible speed!
However, *sizzle*!
Despite Itachi's lightning-fast reaction, he was still a fraction of a second too slow.
The tip of the kunai grazed the edge of his cheek, leaving a shallow bloodstain!
A burning pain shot through the tiny wound, and warm blood immediately seeped out, slowly sliding down his cheek.
"Nisan! That's amazing!"
Hidden behind the tree, Sasuke witnessed the enemy being slashed and gasped in excitement.
In Sasuke's eyes, this was undoubtedly a victory of justice over evil, a perfect suppression of that imposter by his real brother!
Sure enough, a fake is a fake; it can't compare to the genuine Nissan at all.
At that moment, Sasuke felt a surge of pride and triumph.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
In reality, the weasel used several backflips to dissipate its momentum and landed steadily several meters away.
He subconsciously raised his hand to lightly touch the wound on his cheek, feeling the subtle yet incredibly clear stinging pain, as well as the warm, sticky blood. His expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
The chilling killing intent emanating from those Sharingan eyes was like a dam bursting.
The series of setbacks caused Itachi to frown deeply, his heart filled with turmoil.
Illusion magic... is it not as good as his?
The idea was unbelievable to him.
Illusion is his proudest area of expertise!
But in the previous exchange, the opponent seemed to have a slight advantage over me. How could that be?!
And... and all of this happened right in front of Sasuke...!
Out of the corner of his eye, Itachi noticed that his younger brother's excited and adoring gaze was completely fixed on the "fake" person wearing a Konoha vest behind a tree not far away.
The excited cheers of Sasuke just now were clearly heard.
At that moment, a surge of anger, a mixture of humiliation, fury, and resentment erupted, and a fierce aura flared in Itachi's eyes.
He never imagined that he would be so suppressed by an imposter in front of his younger brother.
He stared intently at the Dream Itachi opposite him, his eyes burning with murderous intent.
Sasuke is my younger brother!
Only he himself can decide Sasuke's fate!
……
In the shadows, Kakashi witnessed the fierce battle below, not daring to make the slightest sound.
I witnessed firsthand how Itachi in the dream not only gained the upper hand in the initial fire jutsu contest, but even cleverly deflected and broke through Itachi's most proficient genjutsu in the real world.
Kakashi couldn't help but gasp.
This Itachi who came from a dream... his strength is incredibly formidable?!
This result far exceeded his expectations.
However, after a brief moment of surprise, Kakashi quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation to himself.
Upon closer reflection, this situation may not be surprising.
In the real world, Itachi Uchiha struggled in darkness from a young age. Even a genius like him could not escape mental exhaustion and many hardships.
However, Itachi in the dream world is completely different. In that world, his parents are alive and well, and his best friend Shisui guides him all the way.
He was able to wholeheartedly accept the orthodox and complete Uchiha clan training. Over the years, he accumulated a foundation in both conventional ninjutsu and taijutsu, as well as Sharingan genjutsu, which was far more solid and profound than that of Itachi in the real world.
Staying in the village, he must have forged bonds that Itachi in the real world never had. Who could it be? Seeing those eyes, Kakashi touched his Mangekyou Sharingan…
In comparison, it's no wonder that Dream Itachi is displaying such formidable strength.
Thinking of the tragedy that befell the Uchiha clan back then, Kakashi's eyes darkened slightly.
