Chapter 25: Wrath of the Uchiha

Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan flared brilliantly as the black flames of Amaterasu danced along the training ground. Blood trickled down his cheek, evidence of the immense strain the technique put on his body.

Geto smirked. "Naruto fell, and now you think you can do what he couldn't?"

Sasuke's hand twitched, the urge to charge overwhelming. "Shut up."

"Stay focused, Sasuke," Kakashi warned, stepping forward. "This isn't someone you can beat with anger alone."

"Listen to your teacher, Uchiha. You'll need more than anger, and even more than teamwork," Geto mocked

---

Sasuke darted forward ,his movements a blur. His eyes, burning with the Mangekyo Sharingan, analyzed Geto's stance. A kunai flew from his hand, glinting in the light, only for Geto to deflect it casually with a swipe of his hand.

Kakashi seized the moment, weaving hand seals with lightning speed. "Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu!" A roaring inferno erupted toward Geto, forcing him to leap back.

As the flames died, Sasuke appeared in front of Geto, having used Kakashi's attack as a distraction. "Lion's Barrage!" He lashed out with a kick to Geto's stomach, which launched Geto in the air. Sasuke quickly appeared above Geto. To Sasuke's surprise Geto parried his attacks easily and send him flying back to the ground. Geto followed up by summoning a boar, which charged at Sasuke, Kakashi intercepted it with a lightning jutsu.

---

With a wave of his hand, Geto summoned a snake, its body writhing with cursed energy. "Let's see how you handle a cursed spirit," he sneered

The snake lashed out, its fangs aiming for Sasuke's chest.

"Not so fast!" Kakashi shouted, hurling a kunai attached to ninja wire. The blade wrapped around the snake's neck, yanking it back just as it lunged. A surge of lightning crackled along the wire, Raikiri in its purest form, and obliterated the cursed creature in a flash.

Sasuke used the opening, his Chidori already crackling in his hand. He closed the distance in an instant, aiming for Geto's heart. "This is for Naruto!"

Geto smirked. A massive summoned gorilla materialized, intercepting the Chidori with its enormous arm. Sparks flew as the attack struggled to pierce the beast's cursed armor.

"You'll have to do better than that," Geto taunted, leaping back as his summon retaliated with a powerful swipe.

---

Kakashi's sharp eye caught the flow of Geto's chakra. He formed a dozen hand seals in rapid succession. "Lightning Release: Lightning running beasts!" Out of thin lightning shaped wolfs appeared, snapping and growling as they rushed Geto.

While Geto was occupied dismantling the wolves with dark energy, Kakashi moved in close. With one hand, he wielded a kusarigama, the chain wrapping around Geto's arm. The other hand was already charging a Raikiri.

Geto growled, pulling the chain taut and yanking Kakashi off balance. "You're clever, but not clever enough!" He unleashed a wave of dark energy that sent Kakashi flying, crashing into a tree.

---

Kakashi appeared behind him, kunai aimed for Geto's blind spot. "You're underestimating us."

Geto ducked, spinning to parry with a staff conjured from earth. "Not bad." He redirected Kakashi's kunai, countering with a dark-energy blast that forced the Jonin to leap back.

Sakura seized the moment, throwing several explosive-tagged kunai at Geto's summoned lion. The tags detonated with a thunderous boom, momentarily engulfing the beast in smoke. "I can't let you handle this alone!"

"Sakura, stay back!" Kakashi barked, but his words came too late. The lion emerged from the smoke unscathed, charging at her.

---

"Sakura, move!" Sasuke shouted, rushing to intercept. His Chidori crackled to life in his hand as he lunged at the lion. The beast roared, but the Chidori pierced through its chest, dispersing the summon in an explosion of dark energy.

Geto's eyes flicked to Sakura, and his expression darkened. A wave of malevolent killing intent washed over her, freezing her in place.

The weight of Geto's intent was suffocating. Sakura's vision blurred, and she saw horrifying images, herself torn apart, her screams echoing in the void. It was a grotesque reminder of the time she faced Orochimaru. Her knees buckled, and she collapsed, trembling.

"Stay out of this," Geto said coldly.

Sasuke took a deep breath, his Sharingan spinning wildly. his chakra flaring. Suddenly, a purple ribcage surrounded him, crackling with power. "I'll end this myself!"

Geto chuckled, his dark eyes gleaming. "Well, well. It seems the baby Uchiha has unlocked his Susanoo. Impressive, but you've got a long way to go. Your brother's Susanoo is far more magnificent."

The mention of Itachi only fueled Sasuke's rage. His eyes burned brighter, and the ribcage expanded, taking on the shape of a skeletal. "I'll kill you," Sasuke snarled, his voice dripping with venom.

Sasuke unleashed a volley of shuriken, enhanced by Amaterasu's black flames. The cursed spirits that Geto summoned burned away instantly, the flames consuming them despite their evasive maneuvers.

Geto's smirk faltered for the first time. "Impressive, but futile."

---

Kakashi staggered to his feet, blood trickling down his temple. His Sharingan glowed ominously.

Memories of Rin flashed in his mind, the pain of that moment almost paralyzing him. But he shook it off, his resolve hardening." For Naruto... I'll make an exception."

As Sasuke's Susanoo struggled to shield them from the relentless onslaught, Kakashi locked his gaze on Geto. "Kamui!"

The space around Geto distorted, his body beginning to warp. For a moment, Geto's smug expression turned to alarm as his arm disappeared into another dimension.

Geto glanced at his shoulder, blood dripping onto the ground. He seemed unfazed, his grin returning. "Interesting. You're full of surprises, Copy Ninja."

---

Sasuke saw his chance and advanced, his Susanoo moving in sync with him. The skeletal arm of the Susanoo crackled with energy as he fused Amaterasu with Chidori, creating a chaotic, fiery lightning.

The strain was evident, blood poured from Sasuke's eyes as he pushed his Mangekyo to its limits. His body trembled, but his determination was unshakable. "This is for Naruto!"

With a deafening roar, Sasuke's attack struck Geto head-on. The combined force of Amaterasu and Chidori engulfed him in a blinding explosion of light and energy.
