Chapter 152:

Amaterasu!

Akira released another Amaterasu and this time the target was directly locked on Shirotsuchi. Cold sweat formed on Shirotsuchi's forehead and he flickered away as he did not dare to be careless at all.

Body Flicker Jutsu!

Shirotsuchi know the consequences of being hit by Akira amaterasu and of course he didn't dare to touch it, so he could only evade with body flicker jutsu. After all, the body flicker jutsu can be easily use to dodge quickly.

Although Shirotsuchi is not as proficient in body flicker jutsu like Hanzo, but he has a decent grasp of it, so he had no problem avoiding Akira's Amaterasu in time.

However, although Shirotsuchi managed to dodged the Amaterasu, but the Amaterasu still landed on the bodies of other Iwa ninjas, causing those Iwa nunjas to be burned by the black flames. Not long later, all the victims screams in extreme pain while rolling on the ground, but the black flames couldn't be extinguished, causing them all to burn to death.

The other surrounding Iwa ninjas all shuddered and retreated subconsciously, not daring to step forward at all, lest they be burned by Akira's Amaterasu. Therefore, an exceptionally weird phenomenon has formed in the battlefield.

Unknowingly, within a few hundred meters of Shirotsuchi and Akira's fight, there was no one and the few remianing Iwa ninjas had already dispersed in fear, lest it will implicate themselves.

Both Orochimaru and Chiyo also stopped fighting temporarily and stood behind their Konoha and Suna troops, respectively. They had tacitly decided to first observe and wait for the result of the battle between Akira and Shirotuschi, so they facilitate their next move.

"Sure enough, Amaterasu's burden on the eye is still quite bad. In the original story, Sasuke and Itachi eyes even bleed when they use Amaterasu. Although mine is not so exaggerated, but the burden is still there." Akira thought in his heart. Although Amaterasu is very strong and poweful, but at the same time the side effect cannot be ignored

Afterall overuse of mangekyo sharingan can only bring endless darkness to the eye in the end.

After dodging from Akira's attack, Shirotsuchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just by thinking about the terrifying consequence of being burned by the black flame, lingering fear still remain in his heart.

"Such a powerful and terrifying black flame will consume huge amount of chakras when released. I don't believe he can maintain releasing the flame! When his chakras are almost consumed...that's when I will make my move!" Shirotsuchi thought and coldly snorted. He was like a hungry wolf waiting to ambushed Akira when his Chakra is consume.

Shirotsuchi is very experienced and knows how to deal with the current situation well. Akira's Amaterasu may look very difficult to deal with, but he can temporarily 'kite' him to avoid the danger and consume Akira's Chakra at the same time.

Akira squinted his eyes, the cold glint in his eyes turned even more chilly.

Akira is very clear about Shirotuschi's plan and because of this, Akira's was frustrated and angry.

"I have less than half of my chakra left. Amaterasu consumes so much of my chakra too quickly. If it continues like this, the situation of the battle will gradually change and the initiative I hold will also be lost. Shirotsuchi is really a very experienced veteran of war." Akira secretly thought, but his expression remain calm and without panicking.

At this critical and crucial moment, Akira tried his best to remained calm.

Orochimaru stood on top of Manda's head and whispered to himself: "Shirotsuchi has gradually understood the terrfying nature of Akira's black flame and has already adopted a avoidance method. I wonder what Akira plans to do next..."

"Orochimaru, this kid named Uchiha Akira is very strong. He is even stronger than you were, when you are young." Manda said to Orochimaru in a low voice.

Orochimaru was silent, but his eyes fixed on Akira's figure closely, watching his every move without blinking.

Chiyo in the distance sighed emotionally. Chiyo had quite a number of encounter against Akira and should be regarded as one of the opponents who know Akira best. Speaking of which, Chiyo and Akira have no grievances. After all, Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law were killed by White Fang and Akira has nothing to do with their death. Moreover, Akira had also once spared Sasori before, so although Chiyo had a hostile relationship with Akira, but she appreciate Akira even more.

"Uchiha Akira, has he grown to such an extent now? Enough to contend with a strong man like Shirotsuchi to the extend that Shirotsuchi's have to be so defensive..." Chiyo sighed and reminisce. At the beginning, Akira could only rely on tactics and trickery to force them back. But the kid has now become the most dazzling existence in the battlefield and the enemy of Suna!

Akira and Shirotuschi stare closely on each other. Once Akira noticed Shirotsuchi's intention of wasting his Chakra, he stop releasing Amaterasu again.

At this moment the voice of sage of the six path came, reminding Akira: "Kid, your Jonin Sensei is here!"

Tsunade is here?

Akira was slightly startled and as expected, after a while, he saw a movement in the distance. Immediately, Konoha ninja were surprisd that reinforcements were coming and then Akira saw the familiar figure of Tsunade and Sakumo

Tsunade and Sakumo came to support!

The arrival of Tsunade and Sakumo made the Konoha ninjas cheer, but Akira and Minato's expressions both sank, as both of them thought of Nawaki in unison.

As Nawaki close friends, his death had dealth a great blow to Akira and Minato and they are still sad and angry, let alone how Tsunade who is the sister of Nawaki react?

Tsunade and Sakumo arrived to the battlefield. Although Konoha's morale rose greatly, but their number of ninja troops is still less than Suna and Iwa combined. After all, Suna and Iwa are two ninja troops. Both their number and elite troops have the advantage.

But soon, Tsunade noticed the situation on the battlefield.

Tsunade noticed that there was a corpse lying beside Minato. The corpse was full of scars, but Tsunade recognized the identity of the corpse from the clothes on the front of owner.

Tsunade's body trembled uncontrollably and a gleam of tears blurred her eyes. She rushed forward in disbelief, staring at the corpse in a daze and finally determined that it was really Nawaki.

"Tsunade Sensei, I'm sorry. Nawaki he..." Halfway through the words, Minato became a slurring mess and Tsunade was already half-kneeled beside the corpse of Nawaki choking with tears. Tsunade's beautiful eyes lost it's l.u.s.ter and look lifeless as she was very heartbroken and creastfallen with Nawaki death.

Akira noticed Tsunade's sad expression and turned to look at Shirotsuchi with anger. His rage burned even stronger and his eyes became colder and blood thirsty: "Shirotsuchi, you must die today!!"
