Chapter 187: Ch.187 I Still Like Your Defiant Nature
"A blade like yours cannot kill me!"
As the flames surged forward, their scorching heat almost tangible, Uchiha Shinji neither dodged nor flinched, and even the panicked look on his face moments earlier had disappeared.
Rengoku Kyojuro remained expressionless. Without any hesitation due to Shinji's words, his blade moved decisively and unwaveringly towards Uchiha Shinji.
In the distance, Sasuke reflexively closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to watch a fellow Uchiha, one with the Mangekyo Sharingan, get cut in half by the orange-haired swordsman.
Swish!
In just a split second, Rengoku's blade sliced through Shinji's body, entering from his left shoulder and exiting through his right waist, cutting Shinji into two.
Poof.
However, in that very moment, Shinji's bisected body vanished in a puff of white smoke.
It was clear that the Shinji who had been sliced in half under the protection of Susanoo Tomoshibi was nothing more than a shadow clone!
Rengoku paused only slightly, then raised his guard, brandishing his sword and scanning his surroundings cautiously.
Then, he noticed that the previously damaged part of Susanoo Tomoshibi had suddenly recovered.
