Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 384

379 chapter

"The response is pretty quick."

On the arena, the boy held a slender samurai sword with the tip facing the ground, and looked at Sai with a smile on his face.

Sai's gaze moved down, and he looked at the torn clothes on his chest, and the expression on his delicate face gradually became dignified.

Before this battle started, Sai had never underestimated this young samurai.

Even so, when the strength of the opponent was inferior to his own, he was completely defeated in the first round of confrontation.
The reason was that Sai hadn't thought about the continuous changes in the opponent's saber movements.

The juvenile's saber technique is obviously fundamentally different from the root saber technique he has learned.

"If you just fight like this, it would be too boring."

Suddenly, the boy stared at Sai, who was tense, and said, "You are a ninja after all, it doesn't seem so fair to you if you only use sword skills to fight me."

He raised the tip of the knife slightly, pointing towards Sai.

"Even if you show your true skills, it doesn't matter if you use ninjutsu," said the boy.

"Next, I will attack with all my strength!"

The young man's eyes suddenly became sharp, and at this moment he was like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath, quite imposing.

"Of course!"

Sai responded, and he himself did not plan to compete with the young man in swordsmanship alone.

Although Saii is also good at swordsmanship, but after the end of the round just now, he already understood that it is impossible to defeat this boy without using all his strength.

Although Sai didn't have a strong desire to win, he wouldn't easily admit defeat either.

Swish!
His figure shot towards the boy like a ray of black light, and while rushing out, he held the handle of the knife tightly.

As his palms closed, strands of flames climbed from the handle to the blade like thin pythons.

"So fast!"

The boy was slightly startled, but his expression was more excited.

"It doesn't seem like an instant body technique, but it's really fast."

Naruto, who was watching the battle in the martial arts arena, also raised his eyebrows slightly. When he just graduated more than three months ago, Sai's speed was definitely far from the current level.

Although he doesn't understand perception, Sai's speed is not obtained by an instant burst of chakra.

In other words, this was Sai's own speed.

"You two little guys have made progress, and Sai will not fall behind."

Itachi looked at Naruto and Hinata, during this time, Saii had always been his training partner.

Although the direction of Sai's practice is not speed, but he is fighting Itachi who is far stronger than himself.

So after such a long time of accumulation, the speed will of course be significantly improved.

"flame."

Glancing at the flames entwined on Sai Tai's sword, the young man murmured, and he also closed the handle of the sword accordingly.

On the slender samurai sword, there was also a condensed wind blade that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, but it really existed.

"Sure enough, he can also use Chakra."

Itachi immediately caught the wind blade formed by the samurai sword chakra.

This is consistent with his conclusion from observing the battle traces left in the arena.

In front of the young man, Saii raised the sword wrapped in flames, and slashed down on his head!
Although the boy's sword skills are superb, his speed is slower than Sai's.

Therefore, Saii only had time to defend and resist the attack that Sai was sending out at an explosive speed.

"Oh!"

The weapons entwined with fire and wind attribute chakra collided, and there was an explosion-like sound.

The five basic attributes of chakra restrain each other, and fire is better than wind.

But the boy's samurai sword is made of a special material that can conduct chakra, and the efficiency of conducting chakra is stronger than that of Sai's sword.

And just talking about the control of attaching Chakra to the weapon, although the boy is not a ninja, his control is no worse than Sai.

After all, it only took Saii more than three months to start this kind of practice.

Therefore, when the two chakra-attached weapons collided, neither the boy nor Sai had an advantage in this round.

Of course, neither of them would allow the situation to remain so stalemate.

After the collision, both Sai and the boy changed their moves immediately.

"Bang bang bang!"

As a result, the two weapons collided continuously, and the sound of explosions continued to be heard.

The two sides constantly changed their offense and defense, the wind and fire were intertwined, and the battle scenes were exciting and gorgeous.

"It's amazing, both of them."

Naruto's gaze followed the two moving people on the fighting arena. This was the first time he had seen this type of battle, although neither Sai nor the boy might be stronger than him.

But the collision duel of knives is really eye-catching.

Hinata also looked at it very seriously. While silently encouraging Sai in her heart, she also learned experience from this battle through the alternation of the two sides' movements.

The ronin and warriors around were even more dazzled, even though some of them had experienced the youth's superb sword skills before.

But when the young man and Sai were in a real confrontation, they showed all their strength, their movements were more agile and sharp than when they were fighting some of them before, and their moves were also changeable.

Itachi was the only one watching the battle calmly.

Just as he expected before, there is obviously a big gap between Sai and the boy in terms of sword skills.

The reason why this battle is temporarily stalemate here is because Sai has the advantage in terms of speed.

But Sai was completely unable to bring out his advantages in the battle with the boy.

On the contrary, under the change of juvenile swordsmanship, Sai's movements are gradually being suppressed.

"flaw!"

While a brisk smile appeared on the young man's face, the movements in his hands changed quickly, grabbing the space where Saii's katana connected, and slashed out horizontally with the slender samurai sword wrapped around the wind blade.

Sai leaned across the blade to block the blow, but there was not enough time to change his movements.

"Oh!"

Most of the wind chakra was blocked by Sai's weapon, but just like in the first round, the tip of the knife broke through Sai's defense.

The sharp wind blade not only cut through the clothes on Sai's right arm this time, but also brought blood.

The wind chakra pierced the skin of Sai's arm.

"Sai!"

Seeing that Sai was injured, the faces of Naruto and Hinata off the field suddenly overflowed with concern.

"I am fine."

Sai said that only the skin was scratched, and it did not affect the movement of the arm.

He looked at the young man with a bright smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "He has seen through all my actions."

"What a genius in swordsmanship."

Itachi also said in his heart that the root sword techniques used by Sai were all analyzed by the young man during the battle, and he found a way to deal with it or even restrain it.

Just like looking for flaws in ninjutsu, only a boy who has a certain understanding of swordsmanship can do this kind of thing in battle.

As far as his age is concerned, it is no exaggeration to call him a genius.
