Against The Gods With Anime System
Banquet part 3

"HEREINAFTER!!!"

After Itachi called out to his next opponent, a young man came out from the crowd. With a firm step he came towards Itachi until he was right in front of him and started speaking up.

"Iron Spear Clan's Tie Hengjun, seventeen this year. I am not qualified to challenge you. But seeing you defeat one enemy after another with a cool attitude and ruthless efficiency, I began to admire you; therefore, I'd like to exchange pointers with you...It was only because I admired you, there was no other intention. Therefore, I want to challenge you to an honorable duel."

Listening to Tie Hengjun challenging him to an honorable duel was to stop the new change in speed compared to the other arrogant disciples who had come to fight him.

"I would be honored to fight a warrior disciple like you in an honorable duel" Itachi said with a smile as he bowed respectfully to Tie Hengjun.

Taking the usual katana sword Itachi took the position of Te Ura Gasumi.

(AN: This attitude involves holding the katana with both hands horizontally beside the head with the tip pointing towards the opponent.)

Tie Hengjun took a stance with his spear as well. Holding the spear to his right with his right hand on the lower side of the spear beside his chest and with his left hand on the middle side of the spear away from his body.

Locking each other's eyes for a few seconds Tie Hengjun started the attack by thrusting a spear into Itachi who in turn parried the punch to the right of his body and approached Tie Hengjun. Tie Hengjun retreated and simultaneously swung the back end of his spear at Itachi to stop his attack. Standing right across from each other again, this time Itachi attacked with an overhead slash at Tie Hengjun who in turn blocked the slash with his spear by holding it overhead. Locking weapons to each other Itachi and Tie Hengjun pushed their weapons against each other to try and defeat the others.

As Tie Hengjun was fully focused on trying to defeat Itachi. Itachi on the other hand continued to put enough pressure on Tie Hengjun to keep him focused to try to defeat him. As Tie Hengjun tried to defeat Itachi, he was suddenly kicked in the stomach thus breaking his posture. Using his broken posture Itachi swiped the spear down and quickly slammed the handle of his sword into Tie Hengjun's face causing him to stagger backwards. As Tie Hengjun recovered, he looked at Itachi who was calmly staring at him before speaking.

"Lesson number one: Always expect the unexpected. During a Weapon clash, your opponents can use all sorts of means to gain an advantage from you. Remember it's fine."

Hearing Itachi give him advice to become a better soldier, Tie Hengjun simply responded with a smile before returning to his position and launching a series of stabs at Itachi who responded quickly dodging everything and trying to get close for his own encouragement just to Tie Hengjun here with the swift sweep of his spear forced Itachi to retreat. As Itachi was forced to retreat, Tie Hengjun entered with a powerful push. Itachi saw this dodging impulse by stepping forward and only to the side of the impulse. Taking quick advantage of the situation Itachi stepped on the spear with one leg carrying the spear down and quickly elbowed Tie Hengjun's face forcing him to retreat. As Tie Hengjun staggered backwards, Itachi quickly swung his sword and gave Tie Hengjun a small cut on his left cheek.

"Lesson number two: Spear is only strong as long as your opponent is in front of him. Don't lung forward with all your weight to thrust your spear. If your opponent passes the spear point, you allow yourself to be fully open to counterattacks.Invading" Itachi told Tie Hengjun.

Listening to Itachi's advice, Tie Hengjun smiled wider than before.

"Haha.... Looks like a good idea. I've managed to learn a little stop from you and I must praise you for your incredible control of your techniques. There aren't many people in the Iron Spear Sect who can fight. come face to face with me in terms of techniques alone, but you are much better off. You have to face the best challenge I've ever had. But until now we only fought using techniques and there was no Profound Energy. I want to see how you handle my attacking power. What do you think of Itachi Uchiha?" Tie Hengjun asked Itachi.

Listening to Tie Hengjun made Itachi smile widely as well. This Tie Hengjun was one of the few people who treated his opponents with dignity and respect and knew the people in this world, this character trait really deserves to be respected.

"Yes. I want to see your strongest attack as well. I want to see for myself and measure my strength." Itachi said to Tie Hengjun.

"Haha..... Nice, nice. But just so you know I won't hold back so prepare yourself to receive my spear..... The Rising Sun Dragon!!"

As Tie Hengjun unleashed his strongest attack, a large amount of Profound Energy flowed through his spear and gave it a faint red hue and let out a dragon cry. As the red light began to get stronger, the dragon's cry started getting louder as well until the spear was completely red. Tie Hengjun then slid forward towards Itachi at high speed. Itachi brought his katana to the position of Hasso no Kamae who was ready to face Tie Hengjun's attack. As Tie Hengju approached, Itachi swung his sword down with great force facing directly against Tie Hengjun's attack. The force of their colliding attacks sent strong winds across the main palace but no one was willing to retreat. Since the katana was just an ordinary weapon and Tie Hengjun's spear was a special weapon, the katana could not withstand the pressure and was destroyed. Tie Hengjun's attack then continued and directly pierced through Itachi's chest, stabbing him with his spear. Seeing Itachi impaled on his spear, Tie Hengjun lowered his head to the ground with a sad expression.

"I'm sorry I ended up like this. You really are a worthy opponent... POOF!!! ..... WHAT ELSE?!?!"

As Tie Hengjun praised Itachi for being a worthy opponent, he suddenly exploded into smoke. As the smoke disappeared, Tie Hengjun saw that instead of Itachi being pierced, it was a wooden block. Not understanding what was happening, he looked around him until he felt a knife in his throat and he heard Itachi talking who was standing behind him.

"You lost."

Looking behind him Tie Hengjun could see Itachi standing there alright as if nothing had happened. Completely confused by this turn of events Tie Hengjun asked Itachi how he did it.

"But how? I said you were stabbed by my spear. How did you do it?"

"This is called the Body Replacement Technique. This is a technique used to get out of dangerous situations quickly and catch a guarding opponent. And that brings me to lesson number three: Always prepare a backup plan" Itachi said

Listening to Itachi giving him a hint, Tie Hengjun responded with a simple smile and thanked him for the match and his pointers. Returning to his seat he walked up to his father and told him that he lost the match but he was honoured to have fought an opponent commensurate with Itachi.

Listening to his son tell him about his match with Itachi, Tie Zhangcan told his son that he was proud of him and his improvement and that this clue would only help him become stronger in the future so that there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Itachi responded by closing his eyes and activating the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and opening his eyes while looking down. Lu Zhannan looked at Itachi who kept his head down thinking he was scared and too afraid to admit it.

'The bastard had become so frightened, he was probably urinating on himself right now. I really like to break the fighting spirit of those so-called geniuses and have them beg at my feet.' Lu Zhannan thought to herself as she looked at Itachi who kept looking at the ground.

Soon after Lu Zhannan attacked Itachi at full speed with a sinister smile on her face assuming she had broken Itachi's spirit and that this battle was his. As he approached Itachi, he raised his head and looked into Lu Zhannan's eyes and activated the power of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Lu Zhannan saw the strangely rotating curved star-shaped figure in her eyes getting a feeling of fear that she had never felt before. As he wanted to throw his face away, he heard a word that would forever be etched in his mind.

TSUKUYOMI

After that the world went dark and a moment later Lu Zhannan woke up. The sky was completely red and he and the ground were completely black. He himself was not wearing any clothes and his hands and feet were tied to the ground. Looking around, he saw nothing but black grass as far as the eyes could see.

"Where am I?!?! What is this place?!?! What's going on here?!?!" shouted Lu Zhannan who was confused and scared by the current situation.

"You're in Tsukuyomi's world. In this world I control reality, time and space. For the next 72 hours you will live in this world. So I hope you enjoy yourself, because from now on you will suffer a world of pain until you beg for sweet deliverance from death itself" Itachi said as he appeared beside Lu Zhannan.

"WHAT A WORLD!!! LET ME GO NOW, OR I WILL KILL YOU AND MAKE YOUR WHOLE FAMILY SUFFER FOREVER!!!"

Instead of reacting, Itachi instead crouched down beside his face and started talking to Lu Zhannan.

“Do you know how lions eat their recently captured prey. They opened it by biting on a soft body part. Especially the lower abdomen and genitals. After they make a hole, which they do by tearing off the male genitals, they proceed to eat the intestines and then the rest of the flesh of their prey. But first they kill their prey by suffocation. In your case, they don't have to kill you by strangling you. You'll be eaten alive for the next 72 hours."

Listening to Itachi tell him what was going to happen to him made Lu Zhannan afraid. Just as he wanted to say something about it, he heard a rustling sound in the grass. Looking around he could see 5 lions coming out of the grass with their eyes locked on him. Before he even knew what was happening, one of the lions jumped at him and started biting his right thigh. Feeling the lion's teeth go into his flesh, Lu Zhannan felt a pain she had never felt before. And then the other lions pounced on him. A lion bit him on his genitals, two lions bit him on his arm and another lion bit him on his left thigh.

"AHHHHH!!!!!....AHHHH!!!!!....AHHHHHH!!!!!!...RELEASE THEM!!!!....HELP!!!!!.. ...STOP THEM!!!!!.....AHHHH!!!!.....HELP!!!!!" lu Zhannan cried out in pain as she pleaded with Itachi to stop all this.

By then the lion biting his genitals had ripped it off completely and the other lions then dug an open pit of the abdominal cavity and tore his intestines and tore his legs apart. Lu Zhannan meanwhile cried out in pain and pleaded with Itachi to stop all this without success until he closed his eyes as his body could not stand it anymore and he died.

'Ohhh... Thank you heaven for ending this nightmare.' Lu Zhannan thought as she finally closed her eyes for the last time.

As he opened his eyes, Lu Zhannan was terrified. He was still in the same place bound to the ground and Itachi was still standing beside him.

"Only 71 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds are left" Itachi told Lu Zhannan in horror.

"TIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NO!!!!!" shouted Lu Zhannan.

Looking around, he saw the lions approaching him. He started yelling again and tried to get out of his bindings but to no avail and then the lions pounced on him and it all started again. After being eaten alive over and over again for a time that felt like forever, the world suddenly returned to normal.

Lu Zhannan saw that she was returning to the main palace and that she was just about to reach Itachi stopped and saw that she had just left for a split second in the real world.

'How?? I spent three days in that horror world. It didn't even disappear for a second in this world Lu Zhannan thought to herself.

As he looked at Itachi, he saw the eyes that pulled him into that world. Knowing how much terror those eyes brought to him, he was more afraid than ever.

"You ... you ... monster." said Lu Zhannan as she collapsed on the floor without ever reaching Itachi.

Itachi simply looked towards the crowd and shouted for his next opponent.

"HEREINAFTER!!"
