Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 140

Several piercing, eerie howls exploded in his ears—

Countless crows burst apart from under his blade, flapping their wings and flying in all directions!

The "Sasuke" who was slashed actually turned into a flock of crows and flew away!

"A crow clone?!"

Kisame stood there stunned, a look of shock on the shark's face.

If the illusion he just witnessed only felt somewhat familiar, then...

He was all too familiar with this crow clone technique.

Isn't this one of Daichi-san's specialties?

Kisame turned around to look.

Sure enough, in the opposite direction, a small figure was running frantically forward.

Kisame, however, did not rush to give chase.

He trusted his partner, Daqi Sang, who was very reliable.

He slowly stopped, and the surprise on his face was gradually replaced by a sinister smile.

Kisame had also guessed Sasuke's identity at this moment.

Kisame licked his sharp teeth, chuckled softly, and muttered, "This brat must be Ichido Nana-san's younger brother! Interesting!"

Having said that, he simply slung his broadsword over his shoulder and walked slowly toward that direction.

Sasuke ran for two hundred meters without hearing any footsteps chasing him.

Sasuke felt no joy whatsoever; instead, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Sasuke knew that the crow clones could not possibly hold off someone like Kisame Hoshigaki for long, and there was only one reason why he did not pursue them.

His teammates!

"Could it be... that guy?!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth, and the eerie figure that had appeared in his dream instantly flashed into his mind.

The man hiding among the heavy puppets, with a long tail spike trailing behind him!

That strange puppeteer whose illusions even Nissan couldn't touch!

Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine, and his steps quickened involuntarily.

Sure enough, not far ahead, a dark figure suddenly flashed and blocked Sasuke's path!

Sasuke's heart trembled violently, and he hurriedly stopped in his tracks, staring warily at the person who had approached.

However, upon closer inspection, his brows suddenly furrowed.

The black-robed figure blocking the way was tall and slender. Judging from the outline alone, he was clearly completely different from the short, fat monster who had been wearing a giant puppet shell before!

"Not a puppeteer?"

Just then, the dark figure blocking the road in the distance slowly raised its head, stretched out a hand, and slightly lifted the edge of its bamboo hat—

With just one glance, Sasuke's pupils shrank, and he froze completely in place.

Chapter 139 You seem to care a lot about him?

Itachi stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on Sasuke, who was completely unharmed.

The unease that had been churning in my heart gradually subsided.

Sasuke is fine! In fact, he seems to be in pretty good shape.

Itachi had witnessed everything Sasuke did when he encountered Kisame Hoshigaki.

Whether it's the skillful use of ninjutsu or the decisive and quick thinking in the moment, it far surpasses what it used to be.

Sasuke has grown up!

Itachi pondered to himself.

From this perspective, the bizarre dream not only did not have a negative impact on the younger brother, but also taught him many things that he would never have had the opportunity to learn otherwise.

For example, the "Shackles Technique" and "Crow Clone" that Sasuke used when dealing with Kisame.

Sasuke originally had no chance to learn these skills, but that dream allowed him to learn them in a different way.

Itachi remained calm and said, "It's been a long time, Sasuke."

Upon suddenly hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Sasuke was jolted.

In an instant, he felt a buzzing sound in his head—

The person standing in front of him had a face that he knew all too well!

The next second, intense anger and disgust erupted, overwhelming his reason.

Sasuke's five fingers suddenly clenched, his nails digging into his palms without him even realizing it.

"You fake..." His voice trembled, but it was a cold laugh born of rage, "You actually dare to wear Nissan's face?!"

His whole body trembled slightly with anger, his chest heaved rapidly, and his dark pupils suddenly turned blood red, the magatama spinning rapidly.

Sasuke suddenly roared, completely enraged, and took a step forward, swinging his right arm!

A sharp, piercing crackling sound of electricity suddenly rang out, and a burst of brilliant blue-white lightning erupted from his palm, while countless leaping electric snakes coiled around his entire arm.

Anger had long since clouded his judgment; he had completely forgotten the instructions he had given Naruto not long ago—

Never act impulsively if you encounter a member of Akatsuki!

"what!"

Sasuke roared, dragging the shrill Chidori along, and charged straight into Itachi's chest like a cannonball!

The dazzling lightning illuminated Sasuke's ferocious face with a ghostly blue light, and his figure, flying close to the ground, kicked up a cloud of dust and fallen leaves!

However, Itachi seemed completely unfazed by such an attack.

He simply stood there quietly.

Just as the Thousand Birds roared and hurtled towards them, Itachi slightly shifted his body to the side, precisely grazing Sasuke's lightning-fast body to dodge.

"Fake goods...?"

As Itachi dodged the attack, the word Sasuke shouted in his fury flashed through his mind.

"Hehehe..."

Just then, a sinister laugh came from not far away.

Kisame, carrying the Samehada sword wrapped in bandages, sauntered over, his wide mouth full of sharp teeth grinning as he looked with interest at the two brothers who were locked in a tense standoff.

"Seventh Sister, it seems your younger brother doesn't want to acknowledge you! How heartbreaking!"

Hearing his partner's gloating teasing, Itachi's slightly furrowed brows instantly darkened.

He glanced coldly at Kisame, his crimson Sharingan suddenly narrowing!

The moment their eyes met, Kisame's smile vanished abruptly, his expression froze, and he stood frozen in place as if he had lost his soul.

Those triangular fish eyes suddenly lost their luster, their unfocused reflection mirroring the weasel's cold, scarlet pupils—

In a mere instant, Kisame had unknowingly fallen into Itachi's genjutsu!

When Itachi used the same Sharingan genjutsu, Kisame couldn't even tell how he was caught in the genjutsu.

However, Sasuke, enraged, had no time to notice Kisame's abnormality.

His eyes were only on that hateful "fake itachi". Seeing that his attack had missed and was easily dodged by the opponent, he was even more furious and lost his composure!

He roared repeatedly, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, his Sharingan spinning wildly, and another whistling Lightning Release: Chidori gathered in his palm.

Like an enraged beast, he charged at Itachi again with reckless abandon!

"Haaah—!" Sasuke leaped high into the air and delivered a horizontal kick that came crashing down on Itachi's head!

This kick, accompanied by the sound of wind, was fierce and used almost all of his strength.

A red glint flashed in Itachi's eyes, and seizing this fleeting opening, he suddenly attacked.

He didn't dodge; his left hand shot out like lightning and firmly gripped Sasuke's sweeping right leg with a thud.

Sasuke's pupils contracted as he felt his ankle being tightly gripped by a terrifying force, as if locked in steel clamps, rendering him unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing pain shot through my calf!

Itachi remained expressionless, then suddenly exerted force with his hand, and a crisp "crack" was heard.

A sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body. Sasuke groaned, and in the agony, he lost his balance and fell to the ground in a sorry state!

His ankle was dislocated.

Itachi looked down at his fallen brother, his eyes as cold as an icy pool.

“Now,” his voice was as calm and cold as ever, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion, “you should be able to calm down a bit, right?”

Sasuke clenched his back teeth so tightly that his cheeks trembled slightly from the excessive force.

"hateful……!"

Sasuke was filled with hatred and rage, his chest felt like it was about to explode.

This damn fake is incredibly good!

My attacks were completely useless against him; in fact, he defeated me in no time.

Humiliation, resentment, self-blame...

A mix of complex emotions burned like flames in Sasuke's heart, making his eyes red.

Sasuke forced himself to look up despite the pain, only to meet Itachi's cold, downcast gaze.

There was no trace of pity or mercy on the other person's face, only an unfathomable chill.

That look was as if he were looking at a complete stranger, or... merely prey like an ant!

Looking at the indifferent and cold expression on the man's face, Sasuke felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart tightly.

Anger and hatred surged violently within him once more.
