Chapter 577.1: Calmly watching you pretend
On the border of the Land of Fire, near the Akatsuki hideout.
Su Xiao stood in front of the stone wall and inserted his hand with the Akatsuki ring into the recess in the wall.
*Rumble*
The wall parted, revealing a passageway that led directly into the mountain. As he stepped inside, the passageway behind him slowly closed, plunging everything into darkness.
He heard a conversation from the front, and without thinking twice, Su Xiao headed towards the source of the voice.
— This is a lie... This is a lie. This is a blatant lie. Itachi wanted to protect me? This is nonsense. He almost killed me several times, " Su Xiao heard a roar. Obito must have told Sasuke the truth.
— If Itachi was serious, you would have died long ago, " Obito's calm voice rang out.
— Impossible. He even tried to kill me with Susanoo. All this time, his target was my eyes, not my defense. If you dare to say such nonsense again, I will definitely kill you! Sasuke's voice was weak, and even though he said he didn't believe it, it was obvious from the trembling tone of his voice.
— Itachi has already calculated everything that will happen during the battle, including your abilities, your chakra level, how you will react when faced with his attack, his goal is to push you into a desperate situation, the purpose of all this... You're on your own. Hearing Obito's words, Sasuke opened his mouth slightly, recalling in his mind the scene where Orochimaru was sealed, and the feeling of relaxation that radiated from his entire body that couldn't be faked.
Obito continued to explain the facts, and Sasuke's excuses became fewer and fewer.
Su Xiao pushed open the door and entered the room. Masked Obito glanced sideways at Su Xiao. Sasuke lowered his head, his eyes dim, as if he doubted his life.
— The smell of blood, met the enemy nearby?
— No, near Konoha, " Su Xiao said and didn't continue, to which Obito nodded.
Sasuke looked at Su Xiao, and his dim pupils filled with confusion.
They no longer showed that hatred.
— Byakuya, you came just in time, Sasuke, he's Itachi's partner, and he caught the tailed ones with him.
Sasuke's pupils regained their color. Sasuke said, but he didn't know what to say.
Su Xiao waved his hand. "I don't know much about Itachi," lighting a cigarette, an unpleasant smell quickly filled the cave.
— I only have one question, " Sasuke clenched his fists. — Itachi or me.".. Who is stronger?
As soon as Sasuke asked this question, Su Xiao and Obito looked at each other, and both of them simultaneously had a thought about how this guy even got such confidence.
— With all due respect, this is the stupidest question I've heard in a while, " Su Xiao exhaled a mouthful of smoke, and his aura suddenly changed. The dragon flash at his waist seemed to have just bathed in blood and wanted more. It was the kind of aura that would make any living creature retreat in fear, and Sasuke was no exception.
— Seriously, who is stronger, you or Itachi? Are you sure you can kill me?
Sasuke hesitated for a moment and thought back to their first meeting, when Su Xiao had leaned his sword against his neck without much trouble and could have taken his life at any moment.
— Maybe... no.
— Oh? So you think I'm stronger than Itachi?
Sasuke nodded. Because of their previous battle, he felt that Itachi wasn't very strong.
— Based on the level of your sharingan and thunder techniques, I can kill you in the worst case scenario in about twenty minutes. As for Itachi... I wouldn't want to fight him. The probability that I will die is about 80%.
Sasuke shook his head, apparently not believing it.
— Not to mention anything else, just take illusions as an example. I've seen Itachi control with jinchuuriki illusions. As for your illusions, haha~...
Since Obito knew that Sasuke had no idea about jinchuuriki's power, he said:
— Jinchuuriki are immune to most illusions. In the jinchuuriki bodies, the tailed ones are sealed, so that they have two types of chakra and two consciousnesses in one body, and the tailed ones can release their chakra and destroy the structure of the illusion. Weak illusions are bound to be useless against them.
