Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 551: Encounter with Rogues Part-2

'He is fast, much faster than I expected. However…'

Clang…

Sasuke blocks the Suigetsu's blade with his katana. Sparks fly around as both blade clashes against each other.

Swoosh…

Suigetsu swiftly retreats and avoids a kick from Sasuke.

"Not bad! You aren't half bad!" Suigetsu smiles to reveal his jagged teeth.

"But this will make it all more fun. It has been a while since I last fought someone to my heart's content without holding back. I will enjoy my sweet time dismembering your limbs slowly and finally beheading you." Suigetsu licks his cleaver.

"Looks like everyone involved with Orochimaru has a screw or two loose. Or perhaps his insanity is contagious."josei

Sasuke's Sharingan tracks Suigetsu's every movement.

Haha… Muhaha…

Suigtesu laughs maniacally. The muscles of his arm buffs up. He grabs the hilt of his cleaver sword and slams it into the ground.

Bang…

Cracks appear on the floor underneath them. He drags the cleaver along the surface and charges towards Sasuke with bloodlust. The cleaver leaves a trail of destruction on the cold, hard pavement of the floor.

"DIE!"

He swings the giant cleaver toward Sasuke's torso.

Bang…

Another person with several scales, yellow eyes, and orange hair charges toward Itachi.

"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!"

The person aimlessly charges in Itachi's direction and slams his enlarged fists, covered with hard shells on the ground. There are several curse marks around his body that transform his limbs into hammers, clubs, axes, spears, stakes, and other weapons.

He mauls anyone in his way, irrespective of an ally or a foe.

"DIE!"

The bloodthirsty orange-hair man jumps in the air, enlarges his fist, and punches Itachi.

Whoosh…

Itachi swiftly dodges out of the way, but he follows up with another round of attacks. Itachi's back touches the wall.

"DIEE!!"

The orange-hair man charges up his fist. Streams of chakra escape from the exhaust-like opening on his elbow like a steam engine.

BANG…

He strikes the wall and shatters a large area of the arena on the side of his strike. Cracks spread across the wall and reach all the way to the ceiling of the arena.

Itachi infuses chakra in his legs and kicks his head and sends him flying across the wall of the arena, like a rag doll.

"His attacks contain power, but no technique. It's like a wrecking ball filled with rage is charging towards you with the sole purpose of destruction with no consequences."

Itachi draws his blade and points toward the enemy.

Bang…

Suigetsu's sword strikes the ground after Sasuke avoids it. Sasuke jumps on top of his blade and stabs his katana toward Suigetsu's brow with impeccable speed.

Stab…

Sasuke's blade pierces through Suigetsu's forehead and splits it in half.

Splat…

However, no blood spills from his forehead, much to Sasuke's surprise.

Suigetsu's entire body turns into water and falls to the ground in a puddle.

"A water clone!"

Sasuke frowns and carefully glances at his surroundings to search for his opponent's traces.

A pair of hands silently slowly crawls out of the water puddle. Suigetsu's figure slowly rises from the water puddle and points fingers towards Sasuke's head.

Bang…

<Water Release: Water Pistol Jutsu>

Two water bullets pierce through Sasuke's head, scattering brain matter and blood.

Poof…

Sasuke disappears in a puff of white smoke, and a wooden log appears at his place.

"Substitution!"

Suigetsu quickly looks around to spot Sasuke.

Swish… swish… swish…

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu,"

Suddenly, a giant fireball appears above Suigetsu's head.

Suigetsu quickly crosses his arms and squirts water from them.

"Water Release: Water Wall jutsu,"

He creates a water wall to delay the fireball and quickly jumps out of the way of the giant fireball.

Boom…

The fireball explodes on contact with the ground. Wisps of flames quickly spread through the air.

"Damn, that was hot!"

Water trickles down from Suigetsu's body like a hosepipe.

"So, you can liquify your body." Sasuke notices the strange state of Suigetsu's body.

"Hey… hey… I didn't expect you to be so strong. Those red eyes… are you an Uchiha?" Suigetsu picks up his cleaver and places it on his shoulder.

His arm and leg muscles adjust again, and he stomps the ground again.

Whoosh…

Suddenly, Suigetsu covers his cleaver with water and swings a ten-meter-long water blade toward Sasuke.

Slash…

Sasuke infuses lightning in his katana and slices the cleaver in half with his own version of a ten-meter-long lightning blade. Suigetsu slightly jumps back to avoid the blade.

"Fine, you are strong enough for me to take you seriously!"

Swish… swish…

Suigetsu makes a series of rapid hand signs.

"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave,"

A massive wave of water measuring tens of meters in height starts from Suigetsu's position and quickly moves towards Sasuke, drowning everyone in its path. Suigetsu also liquefies his body and merges with the water wave.

Swish… swish…

Sasuke also makes a series of hand signs and takes a deep breath.

"Fire Release: Majestic Flame Destroyer Wave,"

He also spits out a massive wave of fire that collides with the water and creates a large amount of steam. The steam covers the entire arena and blocks everyone's vision.

A few puddles of water still linger in the arena.

Blub… Blub…

The water slowly moves between the cracks created by the ground during their early fight.

Fwoosh… Splash…

Suddenly, a large amount of water rises from a hole near Sasuke and drowns his entire body in the water.

"Water Release: Drowning Water Blob Technique,"

Suigetsu starts to choke Sasuke by cutting off his supply of oxygen.

BOOM…

Rumble… Rumble…

The entire arena trembles and several cracks spread across the ground.

A massive, black-brown hulking figure of four meters is standing in the center of the arena with a bloodthirsty expression.

"Damn it, this bastard Jugo has lost it again. Now he will rampage for the next eight hours." Suigetsu's voice echoes in the arena.

"Hehe… once you pass out from the lack of air, I will take my sweet time murdering your emo ass. Now, you can't even make hand signs to use any jutsu."

Sasuke's struggling expression turns calm, and he stretches out his left hand.

Bzzt… Chirp… Chii…

A large amount of lightning chakra gathers in his left palm. The lightning current quickly spreads over his entire body.

<Chidori: Current Stream>

Sasuke releases a massive electric discharge from his entire body and repels the surrounding water. The lightning chakra dispels Suigetsu's Hydrification form and leaves him twitching on the ground, paralyzed.

"I lost!" Suigetsu raises his hand in surrender.

Sasuke binds his body with lightning chakra chains and places a chakra suppression sealing tag on his body.

On the other side of the arena,

Itachi is fighting against the giant hulking Jugo. He carefully avoids his teammates while fighting Jugo.

"It's time to end this!"

Bang…

A giant orange strikes Jugo's body and pins him to a wall.

The Susanoo arm opens its palm and releases several 'Yasaka Magatama' beads.

Bang… bang…

The beads strike Jugo and explode. Smoke rises from Jugo's body and he loses consciousness.

His body reverts to the human state, and Itachi throws a chakra suppression sealing tag to capture him.

By this time, all other anbus also finished their battle. They killed several frantic prisoners and captured others.

The anbu team is exhausted after this series of battles and several of them are injured or out of chakra after being overwhelmed by a large group of enemies.

Itachi and Sasuke glance at each other and nod.

Itachi turns towards the Vice-captain.

"Gojo, keep an eye on these prisoners. Sasuke and I will face against Kabuto." He issues an order.

"But captain, we…"

"It's an order!"

Gojo sighs and glances at his exhausted and wounded teammates.

"Alright! Beat that bastard Kabuto for us, captain!"

The other shinobis also cheer for them.

Sasuke and Itachi walk towards the exit of the arena. The path leads toward the next floor.

"That's it! What a weak barrier!"

Itachi breaks the barrier wall with the swing of a fist of his Susanoo. The wall collapses to reveal a pathway.

Both Itachi and Sasuke step down the path. A gust of cold wind blows from the exit of the passage, sending shivers down their spine.

"Snakes are cold-blooded animals."

Itachi murmurs. The sibling duo exits the passage and confronts a cloaked figure sitting in the middle of the area.

Several stalactites and stalagmites hang decorates the area, and the entire floor is a natural cavern.

"Well done for finding me and making it past all those hurdles."
