Chapter 40: Akihara Kagura: This is the Background I Created (Read Author's Thoughts)
Little Sasuke's noisy voice was very loud.
Because he had been brought up by his big brother since childhood, and had always been taught to cultivate by his big brother, even after seeing the terror of Wood Release, Sasuke did not want to believe that his brother would lose.
The people in the audience seats all turned their attention to the noisy kid. Uchiha Fugaku gave his younger son a glare, which quickly settled Sasuke down.
Before the start of the third round of the competition.
Akihara Kagura stood on the stage, glanced at the somewhat lively audience seats, and then turned to face Uchiha Itachi on the opposite side: "Your brother seems to have a lot of confidence in you."
"That is why I cannot lose."
Uchiha Itachi looked at Akihara Kagura with an extremely serious expression in his eyes.
If there was one person in this world who could make Uchiha Itachi give up everything, it would definitely be his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke. He did not want to let his brother down.
Although he knew very little about Wood Release, especially after having witnessed Akihara Kagura's Wooden Dragon Technique ravaging the Forest of Death, Uchiha Itachi was very clear that this battle was destined to be difficult, and he must exert all his efforts in this battle! Because...
His younger brother was watching all of this from the audience stand!
"Is that so?"
"A bit coincidental."
"I also have reasons that I cannot lose."
Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Itachi, the smile on his face growing thicker: "If I lose to you, Lord Danzo will completely abandon me."
"What do you mean?"
Uchiha Itachi frowned.
"You wouldn't understand."
"You are highly sought after in the light."
"While I have always been abandoned in the darkness"
"Once, I was taken in by an orphanage, thinking I had found a home, but I was captured and brought to a dark laboratory, and the director completely forgot about me;"
"Later, Lord Danzo took me in, and in order to stay by his side, I had to do everything he asked of me, and yet he still chose to abandon me"
The smile on Akihara Kagura's face gradually became more desolate, making it somewhat unbearable to listen to: "Even though I have already done enough to be outstanding, even though I haven't done anything wrong"
"This..."
Uchiha Itachi was somewhat puzzled.
"Because of you..."
Akihara Kagura spread his hands, his eyes gradually filling with a hint of cruelty: "Only now do I realize something, Lord Danzo always wanted me to defeat you"
This was just Uchiha Shisui comforting Uchiha Izumi.
As an excellent ninja, Uchiha Shisui could see that there was a gap between Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi, and that the current Uchiha Itachi would have difficulty defeating the opponent...
Uchiha Shisui understood more than Uchiha Izumi, he knew from Uchiha Itachi's mouth that the opponent still had an even more terrifying move, the Wooden Dragon jutsu...
If Akihara Kagura really intended to kill Uchiha Itachi, it could very well put Uchiha Itachi's life in danger.
"The match begins!"
Shiranui Genma's voice echoed throughout the arena.
As the sound of the match beginning emerged, the two little kids in the arena almost simultaneously moved, with Uchiha Itachi throwing four shuriken and disappearing from the spot in an instant!
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"
Akihara Kagura instantly raised his fingers!
A root swiftly sprouted, blocking in front of Akihara Kagura, also blocking Uchiha Itachi's shuriken!
Roots drilled out from the ground!
Giant trees, along with the spread of roots, grew rapidly within the arena, in the blink of an eye covering the entire stage and transforming the exam stage into an ancient forest.
Uchiha Itachi once witnessed Akihara Kagura controlling giant trees to attack the enemy, and he was very aware that these giant trees were all under the control of Akihara Kagura's chakra. He dared not stay in any place, only to dodge the tree roots and vines ambush in the forest!
"No geographical advantage..."
Uchiha Itachi's figure leaped through the forest, his eyes instantly turned into a blood red, using the Sharingan to observe all the attack trajectories of the tree roots and vines within his sight, looking for a temporary landing spot for his short jumps!
The next moment...
Uchiha Itachi's face suddenly changed.
Because all the branches and vines of the giant trees in the forest were converging upwards.
The huge chakra reaction almost left people breathless, and everyone in the examination area knew that a dangerous technique was about to appear here!
"Although a single technique could defeat you, it might be a bit troublesome..."
Akihara Kagura's voice seemed a bit leisurely, slowly continuing: "If it's a battle between Wood Release and the Sharingan, it seems that we should use a more shocking method..."
"Wood Release: Wooden Dragon Technique!"
The trunks of the giant trees kept growing into the sky, turning into huge vines intertwined together, forming a giant wooden dragon raising its head proudly!
This wooden dragon was hundreds of meters long, and its sheer size seemed like it could destroy the entire field at any moment, making it somewhat heart-pounding to watch!
A huge vine extended towards the wood dragon.
Akihara Kagura stepped onto the vine, his gaze fixed ahead, stepping slowly and firmly onto the top of the wooden dragon's head.
