Chapter 34 - Black (2/2)
He retreats back before quickly weaving hand signs and breathing in 'Fire Style: Fire ball jutsu'
He breathes out a massive fireball towards the hollow. The hollow completely ignores the fireball as it charges once again towards Itachi. The hollows come out the other end with a few burns on its body.
'Superficial Injuries' Itachi thinks as he maintains his distance. Itachi points his finger towards the hollow. Hado: 4 Byakurai. A small beam of lightning shoots towards the hollow.
The hollow waits as the beam approaches before dodging to the side. Itachi swings his fingers to the right, slicing horizontally with the lightning. The hollow vanishes from its places before appearing over Itachi and swinging down with its blades.
Bakudo: 39 Enkousen. A spinning shield appears over Itachi palms, blocking the attack just as it is about to hit him. However, the strike completely shatters the shield, forcing Itachi to fly back.
The hollow continues its chase, forcing Itachi back further. 'I need a big attack...' Itachi thinks to himself before steadying himself and retreating further.
He turns around and points his hand towards the hollow ”Bakudo 4: Hainawa” A crackling energy flies towards the hollow binding it. He clenches the rope before inhaling.
'Fire style: Dragon Flame Jutsu.' Itachi breathes out a stream of flames that travels along the rope.
Before the flames are able to reach the hollow, it breaks free from its binding and charges forward at Itachi.
'This thing is strong...this isn't something I can defeat with the seal still on me.' In between the hollow's strikes, Itachi finds an opening and kicks the hollow, pushing it back.
”Bakudo 21: Sekienton!” A large cloud of smoke erupts and covers the area. Itachi makes some distance from the hollow and pulls out a denreishinki.
”This is Lieutenant Uchiha, Itachi of the Thirteenth Division in Karakura Town requesting removal of the spirit restriction seal.” Itachi says. As he waits for a reply, he senses the hollow coming at him again.
Itachi jumps back again and the hollow roars, emitting a shockwave that clears the smoke from the area. Itachi looks back at the denreishinki. 'It looks like it will take a while for them to reply.'
Itachi puts the device away and holds his blade in front of him with one hand and performs a hand seal with the other.
”Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu.” Itachi exhales flames onto his blade that light his blade on fire. The hollow charges at Itachi again and goes for a jab with one of its blade arms. Itachi parries the blow and counterattacks with a quick slash through the hollow's side. Itachi's eyes widen as he sees the deep gash he inflicted instantly close. 'Instant regeneration?!' The hollow spins around and sends a back kick at Itachi. Itachi tries to block it with his asauchi but it snaps in half from the force and he gets sent flying down the street. Before he has a chance to regain his footing, the hollow puts one foot forward and leans in with its horns facing Itachi. A large amount of reiatsu begins to build up and a red glow is emitted from between the hollow's horns.
'Cero?!' Itachi manages to regain his footing. As the hollow charges the cero, Itachi receives a voice message on his deirenshiki.
”Thirteenth Division Lieutenant Uchiha Itachi, your request has been accepted.” The voice says.
”Gentei Kaijo!” Itachi yells out and he feels a large amount of power return to his body. Itachi sees the hollow ready to fire a fully charged Cero and prepares himself to dodge out of the way. Suddenly, the hollow disappears from its spot and reappears directly in front of Itachi with a loud booming sound. The hollow fires its cero at point blank range, completely enveloping Itachi in a red light...
