This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill - Chapter 490: Starburst Stream

Aoba’s punch directly blasted a considerable crater into the ground, demonstrating its tremendous power.

However, he still didn’t know when Itachi had used the crow substitute…

He moved his limbs around on the spot; it had been too long since he had an honest confrontation with Itachi, making him feel itchy for action.

It would be good to test Itachi’s current true strength with an alternate account.

After this thought suddenly popped into his mind, Aoba wasn’t in a hurry to leave, deciding to fight first!

Then, the group of crows that had taken flight exploded with a bang.

It turned out to be not a crow substitute but a crow clone!

This technique, powerful enough to reach A-rank ninjutsu status, overwhelmed Aoba, who was caught off guard.

It also brought back a familiar feeling to Aoba, who endured the explosion silently.

This kind of battle rhythm always catches one off guard… Yes, Aoba felt as though he had returned to the past!

But now, facing Itachi’s attack, he could no longer use his previous combat styles and techniques, which made him somewhat regretful.

Boom!

As Aoba stomped on the ground forcefully, it seemed as if a gust of wind emerged from the explosion’s smoke.

And unknowingly, Aoba’s eyes had turned a fiery red.

Here!

Using high-speed movement, Aoba finally located Itachi and abandoned the techniques he initially used in “fair play,” swinging a punch directly and forcefully!

Sensing a great danger, Itachi narrowed his pupils and saw a burst of orange-red energy engulf entirely him.

With a loud boom!

Under the combination of “Instantaneous” and “Explosion Release,” Aoba’s punch released an immense explosive force!

The Susano’o, which had just managed to form its skeleton, had one of its ribs blasted apart!

But Itachi ultimately blocked this strike.

As Itachi continued to channel chakra, the skeletal Susano’o immediately healed its ‘wound’ and ‘fleshed’ out…

Its defense power increased exponentially in an instant!

Aoba, withdrawing just in time, suddenly felt a toothache.

If he could exert his full strength, even if Itachi used Susano’o, he would only have the will to fight.

But alas, he is now playing a minor account and can only fight using Yasuo.

But what about a minor account?

Yasuo can still joyfully “E” forward without hesitation!

So, let’s switch to a different style of fighting.

Facing Itachi’s Susano’o, Aoba finally drew his sword!

After such a long “Seal,” the chance of a “Bankai” had already become one hundred percent.

This is precisely why Aoba dared to fight Itachi using a minor account.

And this time, the “Bankai” was not a letdown!

“Roar, Tengen!”

Itachi’s Susano’o reached out to grab it, but at that moment, under Itachi’s incredibly shocked gaze, a ‘severed hand’ holding a massive samurai sword slashed directly from the void!

Boom!!!

The Susano’o, already enhanced once by Itachi, was split in half by the samurai sword.

From a distance, this scene was extremely bizarre!

The combatants appeared like two giants, but one only had its upper body showing ‘muscles,’ while the other simply had a hand holding the samurai sword.

Then Aoba swung his left fist vigorously at the air before him.

With a thud!

Once again, a considerable fist appeared in the void, striking precisely on Susano’o’s head.

It was as if the eerie hand in the air was transformed from Aoba’s own hands!

At this time, the sword in Aoba’s hand, named “Tengen,” belonged to Komamura Sajin, the captain of Squad Seven of the Gotei 13 in the Soul Reapers.

Its ability is very straightforward and brutal; after its initial release, it can summon parts of the body of the Kokujō Tengen Myō’ō for attacks, similar to Susano’o in its attack mode and pattern.

However, Aoba controls it from the outside and is unprotected.

In a brief exchange, Itachi’s expression became more solemn as the opponent’s difficulty greatly exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, he had yet to learn what kind of ninjutsu the opponent was using, and even his Susano’o was temporarily disadvantaged.

But Itachi did not retreat; instead, tears of blood streamed down his face.

Itachi finally exerted his full strength!

The upper half of Susano’o immediately transformed into a complete form, even donning ‘armor,’ evolving from Wudalang to Wusong!

And his left hand held a Yata Mirror, while his right hand wielded a Totsuka Blade.

This was the true power of Itachi!

If it weren’t for the immense pressure from his opponent, he certainly would not have used this power.

But seeing Itachi unleash his true potential, Aoba also stopped holding back, raising the untransformed samurai sword in his hand and solemnly declaring:

“Bankai… Kokujō Tengen Myō’ō!”

Instantly, a massive armored samurai appeared out of nowhere behind Aoba.

The face of the armored samurai below the eyes was covered by a red mask, wearing heavy armor, with large black ropes bound behind his back, his presence as imposing as a mountain, not inferior to Itachi’s complete form Susano’o!

Moreover, every movement of the Kokujō Tengen Myō’ō was synchronized with Aoba, as if controlling a giant robot.

As the two giants faced each other, Itachi’s heart sank, realizing that his opponent, like him, had not previously revealed his true strength.

If the members of the Akatsuki organization all possessed strength like his opponent, he would have to reassess the terror of this organization!

“With your strength, why remain unknown?”

Itachi did not rush to attack but asked in puzzlement.

Aoba was silent momentarily, then gently stroked the blade’s edge, and the Kokujō Tengen Myō’ō behind him mirrored the gesture as if reminiscing about a past he did not wish to revisit.

Then he spoke softly, “This blade is named Zanpakuto, born to sever the souls of all beings in the endless cycle of slaughter!”

“Those who once held this blade did not survive; thus, only I inherited this glorious name!”

“My title exists for this blade, and I live and die for it. Wandering between life and death, why burden oneself with fame?”

“Death is like the wind, always by my side. On this long journey, only this blade accompanies me.”

“I am Yasuo, the ritual executor of the Blood Moon Sect. Strike!”

After psyching himself up, Aoba swung his blade directly.

Simultaneously, the Kokujō Tengen Myō’ō behind him stepped forward and slashed down at Itachi’s Susano’o with a mighty cleave!

Although Itachi was still in ‘shock,’ he instinctively swung the Totsuka Blade to block the ferocious strike!

With a loud crash!

The tremendous air pressure generated by the collision of the giants’ swords and blades uprooted the surrounding trees, blowing them away into the distance.

“Again!”

Aoba stepped forward again, forcing Itachi back with a fierce slash.

“Eat my technique, Starburst Stream!”

After shouting out loud, Aoba’s momentum surged again, and he heavily swung his samurai sword, striking 27 times!

Overwhelmed in both strength and presence, Itachi could only retreat repeatedly!
