Chapter 291 Confrontation between Brothers
The first semi-final ended dramatically.
In the end, Gaara's identity was exposed and sealed by Uchiha Itachi, and Deidara was also seriously injured. Even if he was awarded the victory, this guy would not be able to participate in the finals.
In fact, Konoha did not hold Deidara accountable, which was considered to be an open policy.
After all, in the previous battle, Deidara sacrificed C3 No. 18, and kept shouting about destroying Konoha. Compared with Gaara, this behavior is an iron-clad terrorist.
Therefore, no one from Iwagakure, including Onoki, raised any objections to Deidara's withdrawal from the finals.
Thus.
The champion of this Chunin Exam will be born between Marisa and Hidan.
In the stands.
In addition to Tsunade, there were many viewers who had bet on Deidara or Gaara like her, and they wailed, feeling sorry that their money was in vain.
But more spectators still sat back on their chairs, waiting expectantly for the next semi-final... Oh no, it should be said to be the start of the final.
In the venue.
Since the arena has been damaged beyond recognition, it will take some time to rebuild.
At the same time, a dozen ANBU elites were dispatched to build a stronger barrier around the ring to ensure that the subsequent battle would not spread to the stands and injure innocent spectators.
“Sasuke, are you okay?”
Ino, Sakura and others all rushed to Sasuke's side at this time, rushing to express their concern for him.
“It’s so annoying.”
Sasuke was in a bad mood and didn't bother to pay attention to them. With the support of his mother Mikoto, he walked step by step outside the venue.
When the mother and son passed under the stands, there were a lot of whispers in the auditorium overhead.
"After a long time of work, the so-called number one genius in Konoha turned out to be just a showman. Did you see how Sasuke behaved just now? He was humiliated by Gaara and Deidara in turn, and he had no power to fight back. That's all. I’m embarrassed to be the referee.”
“The idol ninja is like this. He appears on TV shows every day and is hyped up. But in the end, this Sasuke is only better than others with his reincarnation skills.”
“Fortunately, Lord Uchiha Itachi took action in time and wiped his younger brother’s butt. Now, compared to his brother, Sasuke is simply far behind, and even more incomparable to Lord Sixth Hokage.”
…”
The comments were like sharp thorns stabbing into Sasuke's heart.
recently.
His frequent appearances on TV programs have made him an idol ninja by Konoha TV. While gaining huge popularity, he has also been questioned by some.
Now, the voice of doubt has increased tenfold or even a hundredfold, turning into a tsunami that is enough to drown Sasuke's poor self-esteem.
This idol ninja quickly encountered backlash from public opinion. Except for his fans, in the eyes of others, Sasuke no longer had any aura.
Hearing these harsh comments, Sasuke stopped and clenched his fists.
“Sasuke, what’s wrong with you?”
Mikoto noticed her son's strangeness, and then comforted her in a soft voice, "Don't care about other people's opinions. The audience is just following others' opinions and doesn't understand you at all. In my heart, you will always be the best..."
“Stop lying to me!”
Sasuke suddenly roared and interrupted his mother, then stared at Mikoto with stern eyes and asked, "Do you believe these beautiful words you said? Then let me ask you, since I am the best in your heart, what about Itachi? , who is better, him or me?"
Facing her son’s scolding, Mikoto was stunned for a moment, then shook her head helplessly:
"Sasuke, you can't compare like this..."
"hehe."
Sasuke sneered and interrupted Mikoto again, "Stop coaxing me with such clumsy lies. I'm not a three-year-old child. Put away your hypocritical face, mother."
Under her son's sharp gaze, Mikoto covered her chest and took a few steps back, her face turning pale.
Even though she knew that these words were spoken out of anger by her son, she still felt a sense of sadness and bitterness in her heart.
Whoosh.
Itachi flashed his body, stretched out his hand to support his shaky mother, then frowned and said to Sasuke in a deep voice:
“Sasuke, what are you doing? Apologize to your mother quickly!”
Growing up, no matter how naughty Sasuke was, Itachi was rarely naughty to his younger brother.
But this time, Sasuke went too far, to the point where even Itachi couldn't stand it.
"Itachi, forget it, Sasuke didn't mean it." Mikoto said softly, still talking to her younger son.
Itachi sighed, his tone reproaching himself:
"Mother, we have given Sasuke too much pampering. Especially my elder brother, who failed to fulfill his responsibilities as an elder brother and give his younger brother the correct guidance. Instead, he repeatedly indulged and spoiled him, which led to his change. It became what it is now.”
“Have you said enough?”
Sasuke interrupted again and looked at Itachi coldly.
Hearing this, Itachi's expression became more severe, and he immediately reprimanded his younger brother:
"Sasuke, you should never vent your anger on your own incompetence on your loved ones. You have let down my mother, and you have let me down."
“Let you down, haha.”
Sasuke smiled disdainfully, looking like he was broken. He choked back, "Ever since you were a child, you have never really thought highly of me. Why, now you finally feel that my brother has embarrassed you?"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he was gritting his teeth, and his pair of three magatama sharingan eyes turned extremely scarlet.
Itachi shook his head. He was indeed disappointed with his younger brother. He no longer planned to argue with Sasuke and only said:
“Forget it, just calm down for a while.”
The words just fell.
Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly released a burst of eye power, shooting straight into Sasuke's eyes.
Although Sasuke had a premonition and tried his best to resist Itachi's illusion, his resistance seemed very weak due to the absolute gap in eye power.
Sasuke also took several steps back, and finally with a plop, he knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Wow."
Seeing this scene, there was an uproar in the audience, and the onlookers talked even more enthusiastically.
"what's the situation?"
“It seems that Itachi-sama is teaching his younger brother Sasuke a lesson.”
"It's time to educate him. Sasuke actually spoke rudely to his mother and looked arrogant. Is this the so-called genius? What's more, in front of Itachi, what kind of genius is Sasuke? What qualifications does he have to be arrogant? "
"Yes, Lord Itachi's genius is universally recognized. The most commendable thing is that he is so humble and polite to everyone."
“Compared to his brother, Sasuke is really terrible.”
The continuous sound of discussion was like a demonic sound penetrating his ears, stimulating Sasuke.
Hateful.
He clenched his fist again, veins popped out on the back of his hand, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and he was bleeding without realizing it.
From small to large.
Sasuke has always lived in the shadow of his brother, desperately chasing after his footsteps.
Every time he made a breakthrough in his practice and hoped to impress Itachi, although Itachi would smile and praise him, Sasuke could see that there was not much surprise in his brother's eyes.
Whether it is his brother, his sister-in-law Izumi Uchiha, or his uncle and father, each of these people has the Mangekyo Sharingan, and each of them has a talent far beyond his.
Even the mother, if she had not left the front line early and returned home to care for her husband and raise children, I am afraid she would have turned on her kaleidoscope.
At the end of the day.
Itat is right.
Sasuke's pain essentially comes from his anger at his own incompetence, which is why he loses control of his emotions and has a bad attitude towards his mother.
But why?
Why do I work so hard, but in the end I am still a loser, no matter who can ride on my head, Uzumaki Naruto, Deidara, Gaara, and my brother can defeat me at will?
"asshole!"
Sasuke, who was incompetent and furious, pounded the ground with his fists, as if he wanted to vent all the unwillingness and anger in his heart in this way.
Since the finals hadn't started yet, when Sasuke made such a fuss, the eyes of 100,000 people in the entire stadium quickly focused on him.
In the close-up of the camera, the scene of Sasuke hitting the ground with his hands also appeared on the big screen of the stadium.
“That guy...is he crying?”
Some viewers noticed that although Sasuke lowered his head and could not see his expression clearly, there were tears falling from his face and falling to the ground.
The most dignified genius in Konoha was really... ugly today.
“Itachi, take Sasuke back first, and we’ll talk about it later if anything happens.”
Mikoto couldn't bear to watch anymore and made a request to her eldest son.
“Yes, Mother.”
Itachi sighed in his heart, his anger towards his brother was almost gone, and only pity remained. After speaking, he walked forward to help Sasuke up.
But at this time.
Boom!
A huge burst of chakra suddenly erupted from Sasuke's body, knocking Itachi back several steps.
“This kind of power, could it be...”
Itachi's pupils shrank and he looked at his brother with a surprised expression.
Under his gaze, Sasuke slowly stood up, then raised his head again, his eyes bursting with a strange and scarlet light.
A new pair of eyes appeared in Sasuke's eyes.
Its shape is made up of three ovals superimposed on each other, forming the outline of a six-pointed star. The pupil pattern is gorgeous and complicated, and people's eyes can't help but be attracted to it.
Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Sasuke, you actually..."
Itachi, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, couldn't help but show a look of surprise at this time, because he never expected that Sasuke would open his eyes in this situation.
“It’s these eyes that I finally got.”
Sasuke looked at Itachi calmly and said calmly, "Brother, from now on, you can no longer look down on me like you did before, because I also have the same power as you. No, my Mangekyō Sharingan Eyes are stronger than yours!"
Obviously, he has regained his confidence and feels he can do it again.
Before he finished speaking, Sasuke's eyes flickered, and substantial purple chakra suddenly surged out of his body, and soon a huge skeletal shadow formed outside his body.
“It’s amazing how you can use Susanoo as soon as you open your eyes.”
Itachi murmured, feeling the fighting spirit from his younger brother, and then he frowned, and orange-red chakra surged out of his body.
A more lifelike Susanoo appeared in the stadium.
What's going on?
The spectators in the stands were in commotion again.
“If I read it correctly, it was Uchiha Sasuke who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan? It is said that it is the strongest power of the Uchiha clan, and only a very small number of strong men in the clan can possess that pair of eyes.”
“I didn’t expect to see the scene where brothers turned against each other. Itachi and Sasuke are about to fight?”
Itachi VS Sasuke.
This showdown between the Uchiha brothers is much more exciting than the Chunin Exam.
The two of them were about to fight.
“Stop it all!”
With a shout coming from the sidelines, a tall and burly figure rushed into the court like a tiger out of its cage and appeared between Itachi and Sasuke.
is their cousin Marissa.
"Cousin Itachi, cousin Sasuke, I say this is enough for you two. Next is my competition, are you going to steal my limelight?"
Marissa glanced at Itachi and Sasuke one after another, crossed her arms, and complained with dissatisfaction.
With this step she gave me.
Itachi's eyes flashed, and he took the lead in canceling Susanoo, and sighed again: "Let's go home first."
When Sasuke saw this, he snorted coldly and withdrew his chakra.
At this time.
The father of the two brothers, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been watching from the sidelines, also flashed and entered the scene with a frown.
“Don’t you think it’s embarrassing to have so many people watching? Fortunately, Marissa stopped you in time, otherwise my face, and even the face of my family, would have been lost to you.”
Fugaku was not polite and scolded his two sons severely, and then ordered in a tone that could not be disobeyed, "Follow me."
After saying that, he looked up at the highest stand, nodded to Duan, and then strode out of the field.
"Marissa, work hard in the competition, I believe you can win the championship."
When Itachi passed by Marissa, he patted his cousin on the shoulder and encouraged her.
“Of course.” Marissa grinned, confident.
Subsequently, the Fugaku family of four walked out of the stadium under the watch of the entire audience.
"Pity."
The audience who came back to their senses expressed regret that they could not watch a good show.
but.
Sasuke's opening of eyes just now caused his wind review, which was about to collapse, to ride on a roller coaster and flip again.
Ningji looked melancholy.
Although the audience who didn't know the truth were laughing at Sasuke, as Sasuke's opponent for many years, he was the one who knew the guy's strength best.
He was originally separated by Sasuke, but now that the opponent has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, how will he catch up in the future?
Relying on your own white eyes?
Neji was confused.
In the highest stands, the big shots were also surprised by Sasuke's transformation.
“He is indeed the number one genius in Konoha. He can actually awaken the Mangekyo in such a way. It’s really incomprehensible.”
Ohnoki murmured, looking confused.
As far as he knew, Uchiha's kaleidoscope can only open its eyes when the person it cherishes is lost and is stimulated by strong emotions.
Sasuke's situation is obviously unreasonable.
If anyone can explain what happened to Sasuke, I'm afraid it's only that man.
Thinking of this, Onoki looked at Uchiha Dan and found a meaningful smile on the latter's face.
"It seems that Sasuke is in a hurry. No, it should be said that Indra is in a hurry."
Humbling to himself.
