At this moment, Su Nuo from the vortex felt a secret sense of pride!
The reason he changed his hand gestures and used the ultimate technique, Mixu Gelong, was just a fleeting thought in his mind.
After all, he hasn't had a good opportunity to try out the effects of the Mixu Gelong since he unlocked it.
Amaterasu of the Mangekyou Sharingan is clearly the best test subject!
In that extremely dangerous situation, they still dared to use Amaterasu as an experimental subject.
This is real madness!
Once the Mikugekuro proved ineffective, Amaterasu's black flames ignited on his body.
Even with his extraordinary healing abilities from the Reversal Technique, it's absolutely impossible for him to emerge unscathed.
Fortunately, he made the right bet.
The effects of the Mikugelong can also be effective against pupil techniques.
The effect of the ultimate technique, Mikugeku, is to create a simple field around the body.
Within the Simple Domain, any attack that is given the 'guaranteed hit' effect can be 'neutralized and neutralized' by Mixu Gelong.
In short, Miku Kagura also determined that the Mangekyou Sharingan's Amaterasu technique would always hit.
Amaterasu's black flames seemed to have struck Uzumaki Sukuna's body.
In reality, after the guaranteed hit effect was neutralized by the Mixuge cage, it didn't ignite on him at all.
Since it wasn't hit and ignited by the black flames, it naturally didn't suffer any damage!
"Since Amaterasu can be determined to hit, then the other Sharingan eye techniques should be the same."
"Although the Mixu Gelong has no offensive capabilities, its defensive capabilities are top-notch!"
"The only drawback is that you have to keep using the hand gestures of the secret technique."
"I think to myself," Sukuna Uzumaki thought to herself.
Since Amaterasu can be negated and always hit, Tsukuyomi and the like can definitely be done as well.
After all, these two types of eye techniques are instantaneous and unavoidable once the Mangekyou Sharingan encounters them.
Of course, this powerful defensive effect comes at the cost of maintaining this hand gesture continuously.
This will indeed cause some trouble when attacking.
"you..."
"Cough, cough!!"
At this moment, Itachi wanted to say something more, but the excessive use of the Mangekyou Sharingan caused him to cough up several mouthfuls of blood again.
After pausing for a moment, his eyes, which seemed to see through everything, were fixed on the barrier formed by the Mixu Ge cage around the body of the vortex Su Nuo.
He seemed to have thought of something, and despite the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Whoosh!!"
The next moment, he tentatively released the Great Fireball Technique.
A ball of flame spewed from his mouth, transforming into a giant fireball that attacked Uzumaki Su Nuo.
"Itachi's intuition is really sharp!"
Upon seeing this, Uzumaki Sukuna praised him without reservation.
He also guessed that Itachi seemed to have only realized the limitations of using the Mikuriya Kagura based on what had just happened.
"call out!!"
Under the watchful gaze of Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, Uzumaki Sukuna did not use any techniques.
Instead, he stomped his feet hard on the ground and retreated rapidly from his original position.
"Bang!"
The enormous fireball then landed right where Sukuna had just been standing.
With a loud 'bang,' it blasted a huge crater into the ground.
Upon seeing this, Itachi immediately exclaimed:
"Just as I thought!"
Upon hearing this, Kisame looked puzzled and asked:
"Mr. Itachi, have you discovered something?"
Kisame had great trust in Itachi's analytical abilities.
Itachi nodded and said earnestly:
"It seems that the reason he is 'immune' to Amaterasu's damage is because he has activated some kind of special ability."
"And when this ability is activated, his hands must maintain that posture."
"He knew that my Mangekyou Sharingan was watching him, which is why he didn't dare to easily unleash that ability."
In his view, if Uzumaki Sukuna could maintain that hand gesture while still unleashing that slashing ability, then...
His opponent shouldn't have chosen to dodge his Fireball Technique just now.
Given the opponent's arrogant personality, a slash should have easily neutralized the attack.
Therefore, it's not that the other party doesn't use it, but rather that they cannot use it.
Itachi guessed that when Uzumaki Sukuna activated that defensive ability, his offensive capabilities would also be limited.
After listening to Itachi's analysis, Uzumaki Sukuna praised him generously:
"Uchiha Itachi!"
"You are indeed a worthy opponent!"
"That's exactly how it'll be more interesting!"
A true clash of titans involves constantly gathering intelligence on the opponent's abilities during the battle, analyzing their weaknesses, and ultimately determining victory!
While Itachi gained intelligence and analyzed his abilities in actual combat, he also used Itachi's strength to make himself more adaptable to fighting against ninjas of different strengths.
His battle with Itachi not only further refined his comparison of the strength of cursed power and chakra.
This also allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of his own abilities in combat against the abilities of the ninja world.
What Itachi didn't know was that activating the Mikuriya Cage would indeed limit his own offensive capabilities.
But he has other ways to make up for this deficiency!
In this battle, whoever reveals all their cards first, and whose opponent seizes the opportunity to exploit their weakness, will be the clear winner!
On the other hand, after listening to Itachi's analysis, Kisame also recalled Uzumaki Sukuna's strange behavior just now.
Just as Itachi said, there was no need to dodge such a powerful slash.
That can only mean that the opponent was using another ability to guard against Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, and had no choice but to limit their own output!
Thinking of this, Kisame greatly admired Itachi and said:
"Truly worthy of being called Itachi-san!"
"In such a short battle, you were able to analyze the limitations of your opponent's abilities."
"They even considered the other person's personality!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Uzumaki Sukuna, who was not far away, and gestured to Itachi:
"In that case, let Mr. Itachi keep an eye on him."
"I'll lead the attack!"
Since the opponent has to maintain that hand gesture when defending against Itachi's eye technique, that's a good opportunity for him to attack!
Itachi thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement:
"Don't underestimate this guy!"
"His abilities are too strange; we don't yet know if he has any other, more powerful abilities."
"Get rid of him as soon as possible."
The sheer number of powerful abilities of unknown origin used by Uzumaki Sukuna forced Itachi to be even more cautious.
Furthermore, this place is not far from Konoha Village.
If the battle drags on for too long, it could easily attract the attention of Konoha ninjas.
One Uzumaki Sukuna was already troublesome enough; he didn't want to encounter any more Konoha ninjas joining the battle.
"Don't worry, Mr. Itachi!"
"I will finish this quickly!"
Kisame said confidently.
He knew, of course, that if the fighting continued like this, only he and Itachi would be in danger.
Therefore, we must go all out to eliminate this 'monster'!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
As Kisame finished speaking, a powerful burst of chakra erupted around his body.
He simplified the hand seals with one hand, gathering and activating his remaining chakra without reservation.
"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"
"Splash!!"
The next moment, Kisame concentrated all his chakra into his mouth.
Its bulging mouth suddenly opened forward and spewed out!
In an instant, an even larger volume of seawater than before gushed violently from his mouth!
