415 chapter

"Whoosh!"

Sasuke headed straight ahead, and the blurred figure darted out from where it was. Wherever it passed, the thunder in his left hand kept pouring out, rolling up gravel and leaves, leaving a trail on the ground. Irregular marks.

With the blessing of the Lightning Chakra, Sasuke's speed reached an astonishing level, within a few breaths, he crossed the distance between himself and the blurry figure.

"Hey!"

Approaching the target, the Gouyu in Sasuke's blood-red eyes trembled violently, once again locked Itachi's figure, and then he pushed out his left hand without hesitation, in the shape of a stab.

Buzz!

At this moment, the ninjutsu in Sasuke's palm shone to the extreme, and the thunder raged crazily towards the surroundings, spreading like a spider's web, tearing apart most of the smoke.

Sasuke suddenly raised his eyes and stared straight ahead, he did feel the touch of hitting an object in his palm, but he still couldn't believe it.

Immediately afterwards, he saw his left hand pass through Itachi's chest, and because of the violent Lightning Dunk Chakra, no blood flowed from Itachi's wound.

Itachi stared at Sasuke calmly, the corners of his mouth that was dripping with blood gradually raised, and said with a light smile, "He really grew up, Sasuke."

"Brother!" Sasuke never thought that with his own level, Chidori could hit his brother even with his full strength, his face trembled and his eyes showed surprise.

But this emotion only lasted for a moment, Sasuke denied all his previous emotions in his heart, calmed down a little, and murmured: "How could I beat Brother Zhong."

He immediately closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, and began to check the flow of chakra in his body.

"Illusion!"

Things were just as Sasuke predicted in advance, the scene where his ninjutsu penetrated his brother's chest was just an illusion.

Although he didn't notice how he fell into Itachi's illusion before, but because of his understanding of his brother's methods, Sasuke never felt the slightest strangeness.

So, he began to gather the chakra in his body, trying to break Itachi's illusion.

In the depths of the dark forest, the scene of Chidori raging still persisted. Standing in front of Sasuke, Itachi grabbed the wrist of the latter's left hand with his right hand. On Sasuke's palm, the Thunder Dunk chakra hadn't completely disintegrated.

Itachi calmly stared at Sasuke who had fallen into the illusion. After about a while, Sasuke's brows began to wrinkle, and the expression on his small face looked a little dignified.

After a few more seconds, Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, and the look in his pair of black and bright pupils became slightly gloomy, and dense sweat gradually oozes from his forehead.

Casting Chidori twice in a short period of time, and then successfully dispelling Itachi's illusion, Sasuke's physical strength, chakra, and energy have reached critical points.

Sasuke was panting heavily, his eyelids were slightly drooping, and he looked at Itachi, with a bitter smile on his face, and his voice was a little short due to his fast breathing: "Sure enough, I'm still far behind."

He knew in his heart that although Itachi promised him that it was a real battle, in terms of Itachi's strength, Sasuke was able to use shuriken and ninjutsu twice, all because of Itachi's release.

"Take your time, your speed of progress is already quite astonishing." Itachi evaluated Sasuke's performance rationally, without any consolation because he was his younger brother.

Although compared horizontally, there is an obvious gap in the level of strength between the current Sasuke and his former self at the same age, but after all, the two are in different eras.

Not to mention the factor of rebirth, for Itachi, since he graduated from ninja school at the age of six, most of the tasks he has experienced since then are real battles.

And Sasuke graduated from Ninja School in just nine months. In terms of his growth span during this period, he is not inferior to Itachi himself, and even surpasses it.

Shuriken, Taijutsu, and the method of dispelling illusions were all taught by Itachi to Sasuke, so it is very clear to Itachi how much progress he has made compared to before.

Moreover, Sasuke also mastered Chidori's esoteric level of highly lethal ninjutsu.
"Ah."

Although Sasuke is very competitive, he also understands that the ninja's strength is gradually accumulated and grown through long-term practice and a lot of actual combat.

Itachi is still his goal, Sasuke has never wavered in his heart, but Sasuke knows that it will be an extremely long and arduous process if he wants to surpass his brother.

"Okay, it's getting late, we should go home." Itachi let go of Sasuke's left wrist, and took advantage of the situation to hold his armpit. Sasuke was already a little out of strength, so he smiled lightly and said: "I'll carry you home today."

"No, I can walk by myself!" Sasuke refused firmly, but just as he tried to take a step forward, a strong sense of weakness suddenly came from his whole body.

"Don't be brave, didn't you like to let me carry you when you were young? Just treat it as a long-lost remembrance." Now Sasuke has no ability to act on his own, so he can only let Itachi put him on his back.

"It's really grown up." As soon as Sasuke's body was attached to his back, Itachi couldn't help sighing a little in his heart. The last time he carried Sasuke on his back was five or six years ago.

Itachi was not in a hurry either, he walked slowly towards the outside of the woods after stabilizing Sasuke on his back.

Sasuke felt warm in his heart, but he hadn't let his brother recite it for a long time, he was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to say.

The two brothers walked out of the woods at a gentle speed, and then headed towards the residential area of ​​the Uchiha clan.

His body was pressed against his brother's back, not only his heart, but also Sasuke's body gradually felt warm, and the tight body gradually relaxed because he was not used to it, his two hands naturally wrapped around Itachi's neck.

"Hehe." Seeing this, Itachi smiled lightly, and spoke slowly, talking about Sasuke's childhood.

Sasuke responded again and again, because Itachi was not walking fast, so when the brothers arrived on the street of the family, the street lights were bright, but there were almost no pedestrians.

It had been a long time since they had such a relaxed chat, Itachi and Sasuke felt very happy, their laughter echoed constantly in the silent street.

Gradually, Sasuke's voice became smaller and smaller, and his response to Itachi became slower and slower.

"I" Until the end, Sasuke hadn't finished speaking, and the voice stopped abruptly, but immediately after, there was a light breathing sound entering Itachi's ears.

Itachi turned his head and looked sideways at Sasuke. There was a slight smile on the boy's handsome face, and he exhaled evenly with his mouth, making a faint "huhu" sound.

He fell asleep.
After staring at Sasuke for a few seconds, Itachi's eyes filled with tenderness, and the smile on his face couldn't help but seem pampered.

Itachi slowly opened his mouth, and said to Sasuke in a very soft voice.

"Good night, Sasuke"
