It wasn't a just a myth, it wasn't just a story; the blood of the Uchiha was indeed like fire. Kosei was being pummeled, he could feel himself slipping and they were only fighting for thirty seconds. Kosei was sent flying across the street with a single punch crashing against the wall with enough force to break it.
"Is that the best you can do you pathetic murderer?" Kosei said between coughs. "If you are who they say you are then I should be dead by now."
"That will be corrected shortly." Itachi drew from his pouch two kunai and hurled them at Kosei, he was shocked to see that Kosei caught them both not an inch from his face.
"Amazing isn't he?" Itachi ducked to avoid the surprise kick from Shinn then attempted a counter attack. Shinn caught Itachi's fist and drilled him in the stomach, the blade hidden in his gauntlet sprung out and after a puff of smoke Shinn found that he impaled part of a street cart. "Shit!" Shinn turned around to see two shuriken flying towards him, he had time to dodge the first but not they second. He brought his head down so it would bounce of his headband but Shinn felt no impact, the shuriken seemed to disappear as it was supposed to hit. "An illus…" Itachi clipped him in the back of the head with what was left of Kisame's hilt sending him flying over beside his student; it was obvious that he would not be as easy to kill as Kisame was.
"We're fucked aren't we?" Kosei said looking his teacher in the eye.
"I would have to say so," Shinn said getting back to his feet "It is about time we used our top strength after all there is no point in holding back for him."
"If you say so." Kosei cracked his knuckles and back then took a few steps forward towards Itachi "You think you are pretty special don't you Itachi? Did anything and everything to gain power even slay your kin, the kin of others," he reached back and untied the knot in with his headband letting it fall to the ground; his right eye was covered with scars making it look like it was almost clawed out. "You are going to regret every evil thing you have ever done," His eye flicked open and Itachi saw a swirl of red, yellow and orange, no pupil could be seen but Itachi could tell it was rapidly moving, watching everything that happened around them "I will make sure of it." Itachi blinked and Kosei was in his face swinging at him with speed most couldn't possibly keep up with but it didn't matter, over and over and over Kosei attempted to strike but was never once able to land a hit. Itachi continuously dodged and countered Kosei's attacks only now Kosei was able to block his counters.
"Rare that you see someone so young with such skill," Itachi said as he fought "You seem rather brave as well."
"Like I care what you think!" Kosei did four hand seals and his speed increased but still Itachi was able to dodge every strike.
"Tell me, why are you wasting your time fighting me while your teacher simply stays back watching?"
"I'm fighting you so you won't concentrate on the illusion and realize he is not just watching!"
"What?" Itachi sensed a huge surge of chakra coming from behind Kosei and cursed himself for being so careless. He jumped backwards away from him and dispelled the illusion, drawing a kunai from his pouch.
"Lets see you deal with this Itachi!" Shinn pressed his palm against the ground and a surge of chakra engulfed his opponent, Itachi was not hurt as he expected but found himself unable to even take a step. Kosei ran over beside his teacher and looked him in the eye for about five seconds then took his place beside him, they both assumed the same stance and began doing hand seals; mirror images of each other.
"My bloodline limit is one of a kind Itachi!" Kosei yelled at his immobile foe "though the consequence of using it is high at my age a bit of hospital time is worth ridding the world of you!" Shinn and Kosei turned to face each other and joined hands, doing seals together "You will see the true level of mimicry the piercing chaos eye can do!" They both finally stopped the seals as the chakra ripped apart the ground around them.
"Unity through insanity, brotherhood through thirst for blood!" They spoke as one, moved as one "connected through heart and soul! TIES OF RAGE JUTSU!" they were both nothing but blurs to Itachi as he flew back from the force of their hit; finally free of his binds. Before he even landed he found himself once again flying through the air thanks to a kick to his back.
"This is my revenge!" Shinn struck him below the chin making him fly over to his student.
"Your pain!" Kosei kicked him across the chest making him go flying into a wall.
"And Sasuke's prevention!" They both hit him so hard that the stone wall gave way and Itachi found himself sitting in rubble; his Akatsuki cloak now a scattered bunch of singed rags. "Time to say good bye."
