Chapter 60: The Last Blow!
Chapter 60: The Last Blow!
Aoba slowly got up from the ground and stretched his neck.
Although he had the horn layer behind [Hardening] to protect him, it still made him feel pain.
It could be seen that Itachi's physical attack was not weak at all!
However, when Itachi attacked, Aoba had activated [Halo Thorns], causing double backlash injuries.
The naked eye could see that at this time, the back of Itachi's right hand was already bruised, and with his left arm still hanging low, the situation was becoming more and more advantageous to him.
"Although this is not a fair duel between you and me, I am sorry, Itachi."
After saying this, Aoba rushed over again!
Itachi held Kunai with one hand and calmly observed Aoba's every move. Even though the situation was already so bad, he still did not have any thoughts of breaking the rules.
Itachi had already known Aoba's intention when Aoba proposed this duel.
In addition, he was also infected by Aoba's firm conviction.
Therefore, he decided to let go of everything and fight with all his strength to not have any regrets or excuses!
If he really lost, then perhaps it was like what Aoba said, the choice of fate.
But if he won in the end, it would also be the answer that fate gave him!
Only by attacking with all his strength would he be worthy of this true battle!
"Come, Aoba! Come and defeat me!"
"This time, I will not retreat!"
Itachi, who was completely focused, calmly waved Kunai at the other party's neck the moment Aoba rushed to him.
Previously, he did not attack the fatal point because he was worried that he would not be able to react in time, but now, he had no such concerns!
Zila...
The ear-piercing sound was heard!
The sharp Kunai cut a white mark on Aoba's neck.
However, Aoba himself turned a blind eye to it, allowing Itachi to attack his vital points, using this method of completely giving up on blocking and dodging to punch towards Itachi's head.
But all of a sudden, Itachi disappeared.
No, Itachi was learning Aoba's movements from the very beginning. His entire body was directly upside down, and at the same time, his feet heavily kicked at Aoba's lower jaw like a spring!
AlthoughAoba had [Hardening] as his defense, this impact still passed through the cuticles and transmitted to his brain, making his vision go black and almost fainting.
At the same time, Aoba's entire body was kicked off the ground by this sudden kick, and he floated up into the air.
Itachi did not let go of this excellent opportunity. He supported himself with both hands and jumped into the air. Then, with the help of the height difference, he grabbed Aoba by the neck with one hand, and then suddenly bent down!
After observing for so long, he discovered Aoba's state's weakness.
What was truly hard was only the outer layer of keratin, but inside, it was not!
The strength gathered in Aoba's body, who was once again seriously injured in the spine, suddenly dissipated, and the breath condensed in his chest almost spat out.
However, at this critical moment, he fiercely bit the tip of his tongue and used the pain to wake himself up again. Then he used his arms to protect his head, welcoming the violent wind and rain of Kunai cutting.
But he did not give up!
Because as long as the effect of [Hardening] was still there, he would not be afraid of this kind of attack for a short time. On the contrary, the damage caused by the attacks just now was greater, so he was still a little dizzy now.
However, he had a much higher tolerance rate than Itachi. He could afford to waste!
Sure enough!
When he gradually recovered, Itachi's continuous attacks also slowed down due to the large consumption of his physical strength.
"Now is the time!"
Aoba, who had been in defense all this time, suddenly attacked. One hand forcibly grabbed Itachi's Kunai, and the other hand instantly reached out and grabbed towards Itachi's neck.
As long as he could catch it, then it could be said that the outcome was already decided!
Itachi also knew the other side's advantage, so he immediately abandoned Kunai in his hand and used his right arm to block the hand that Aoba was grabbing towards his neck.
And Aoba's reaction was also very fast. He casually threw away Kunai, who was abandoned by Itachi, and used this hand to attack again!
Seeing that Itachi was about to be caught and defeated, what Aoba did not expect was that Itachi's left arm, which had been hanging low for the entire battle, suddenly lifted up and blocked his attack again.
Moreover, Itachi's legs had already begun to gather strength, and in the next second, he could retreat out of his attack range.
In this way, Itachi, who had once again distanced himself, could once again firmly grasp the situation in his hands.
But at this time, Aoba, whose eyes flashed with a fierce light, made an unexpected move.
There was only a bang!
Aoba, who had completely abandoned his routine and technique, subconsciously attacked with a headbutt!
At this time, there was only one thought in his mind: "I must not let Itachi keep a distance!"
Itachi, who was ready to retreat, did not expect that Aoba would suddenly hit him in the head so that he could not react at all, and his mind was in a mess, buzzing at the same time.
His legs, which had been preparing to jump, also went soft, and there was no follow-up action.
Seeing that the head mallet had an unexpected effect, Aoba was overjoyed!
Thus, he immediately grabbed Itachi's arms that were in a defensive action. At the same time, he tilted his head back, and an even more powerful head mallet attack once again smashed onto the head of Itachi, who was unable to dodge!
After two consecutive head strikes, Itachi was instantly struck dumb!
However, he was still struggling with all his might!
Although he could not use his strength to shake off Aoba's clenched hands, his legs were not controlled.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Itachi used all his strength to kick Aoba's body, trying to force him to let go.
However, Aoba gritted his teeth and endured it all. He even laughed loudly and said, "Even if you kick me to death, I won't let go! Give up, Itachi! I won this time!"
As he spoke, Aoba's head fell back again!
When Itachi, who was a little dizzy, saw this scene, he already had a sense of urgency in his heart.
Because he knew that if he did it again, he would definitely faint!
On the other hand, his Sharingan was already on the verge of being triggered out of control. That was the result of his subconscious.
Was he knocked out by the headbutt and lost this duel?
Or use foul means to use other forces?
However, the final result of these two choices was a loss...
Helplessly, Itachi stopped resisting and calmly prepared to accept the result.
Without using other abilities, he had indeed done his best. Even the kunai in his hand this time was used up.
But since it was the result of the choice of fate, he was also willing to use this as an opportunity to fight!
Itachi's gaze gradually became firm.
At the same time, Aoba, who did not notice Itachi's strange behavior, also roared and let out his final headbutt!
Bang!
