The Technique Is Called Kirin!
The camera continued to push forward.
It focused on Uchiha Itachi's stunned expression.
His pupils contracted sharply, as if he had realized something unbelievable.
He slowly raised his head toward the sky, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Above him—
Massive thunderclouds gathered, lightning illuminating his face and revealing the shock in his heart.
"So that's it… the earlier fire technique was for this purpose…" Black Zetsu suddenly understood.
White Zetsu frowned, confused. "What do you mean?"
Black Zetsu spoke slowly, explaining, "In other words, that fire technique was never meant to hit Itachi from the very beginning."
"Sasuke deliberately launched it into the sky to rapidly heat the atmosphere, creating rising air currents."
"Cumulonimbus clouds… meaning he was creating thunderclouds…"
Understanding filled Black Zetsu's tone.
[Fourth Raikage A: Impressive… to actually make use of this principle.]
[Ohnoki: This kid Sasuke… he's not simple.]
[Mei Terumi: Using atmospheric energy to deal damage… thinking of something like this, not bad. Big sister approves.]
The camera advanced again, capturing Sasuke's movements.
He extended his left hand, lightning chakra gathering in his palm.
In the next instant, he leapt high into the air.
A thunderous roar echoed—
The sky trembled as lightning crackled violently.
"This technique is a lightning strike from the heavens. All I'm doing is guiding that power toward you."
Standing high above, Sasuke looked down at Itachi, his tone cold and steady.
"In that case… there's no way for Itachi to dodge…" Black Zetsu analyzed confidently.
"Why?" White Zetsu asked, still confused.
"A lightning strike happens in one-thousandth of a second—faster than sound," Black Zetsu explained.
At that moment, Sasuke stood in the sky, his left hand raised as massive lightning gathered.
"The name of this technique… is Kirin."
His voice was icy.
The thunder grew louder and louder, as if the world itself was reaching its end.
"He actually tamed lightning itself…" Black Zetsu muttered in shock from the shadows.
"Come."
Sasuke spoke softly.
Lightning surged wildly.
The violent thunder condensed into a massive, deep-blue Kirin.
It roared.
Its enormous body stretched across the sky like a divine beast descending upon the world.
Uchiha Itachi stared upward, his pupils trembling, his face filled with shock.
The Kirin seemed to recognize its master, circling around Sasuke as if protecting him.
"Disappear along with the thunder."
Sasuke brought his raised left hand down.
As if obeying his command—
The gigantic blue Kirin descended from the heavens, charging straight toward Itachi.
Boom!
A massive bolt of lightning struck where Itachi stood.
Electricity erupted from the ground, explosions and smoke surging outward.
Blinding white light engulfed the entire area.
The earth shattered.
The roaring thunder was deafening, instilling fear in all who witnessed it.
[Pain: To think he came up with such a method… Itachi is likely in grave danger now.]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: Itachi-san… he'll be fine, right?]
[Deidara: Damn, didn't expect this Sasuke to actually have some skill…]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Hahaha! This jutsu of mine is seriously badass!]
[System: Hahaha! Time for another question!]
[System: Has Uchiha Itachi been killed by this technique, "Kirin"?]
[A. He was killed instantly.]
[B. He was not killed.]
[System: Only two participants allowed. Punishments are random.]
[Rewards: Sasuke's signature technique—Kirin.]
[System: Ready? Begin!]
[Congratulations to Danzo Shimura for answering first!]
[Congratulations to Uchiha Sasuke for answering first!]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Damn it, I clicked too slow!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Sasuke, your reaction speed is insane.]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Hmph. I used my Sharingan to react.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Sasuke, I want a Sharingan too. Can you lend me yours for a few days?]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Hmph! No way! That's the symbol of the Uchiha clan!]
[Kakashi Hatake: I'm not from the Uchiha clan though.]
[Uchiha Kakashi: Hehe, guess I'm Uchiha again.]
[Fourth Raikage A: Wait… what exactly are you? Hatake one moment, Uchiha the next?]
[Sakumo Hatake: ?]
[Danzo Shimura: Hmph. I choose A. With that level of power, Itachi is definitely dead.]
[Izuna Uchiha: Danzo, you shameless bastard! Return the Sharingan to our clan!]
[Danzo Shimura: Hmph. Everything I've done is for Konoha. What do you Uchiha know?]
[Izuna Uchiha: Damn lunatic… I've never seen someone this shameless.]
[Sasuke Uchiha: So you're Danzo? Just you wait!]
[Shisui Uchiha: Sasuke… you shouldn't go. You can't beat him…]
