Chapter 145: Itachi, Dead! My Susanoo Is Bigger Than Yours
For some reason, Fugaku was a little restless tonight.
He sat at the dining table, watching his unpromising second son, Sasuke, who was burying his head in his food, then his wife Mikoto, who was slowly eating dinner, and finally looked at the empty seat next to Sasuke.
Uchiha Mikoto keenly noticed that her husband’s expression was not right.
She followed Fugaku’s gaze to the empty chair.
Mikoto was silent for a moment, took a shallow sip of cool boiled water, and then spoke to Fugaku, “You should know that when Itachi learned of the prophecy from Ikeizumi and publicly stated that he would do as the prophecy foretold one day, it became difficult for him to return openly to the Uchiha Clan Compound. It’s even harder to sit at this table and have dinner with his family.”
“This was a choice he made himself, and you later said that no matter what path Itachi chose, you would be proud of his choice. Because the caliber Itachi displayed, you greatly admired.”
“And under these circumstances, you are starting to miss him. Fugaku… in the ninja world, no one can have it both ways.”
“Even Ikeizumi, for his absolute justice, had to turn the sharp blade of justice in his hand against his only blood relative, completely severing all his familial ties.”
Fugaku took a deep breath, he shifted his gaze from the empty chair to his wife.
“Whenever Itachi is mentioned… you always bring up Ikeizumi.”
Fugaku said with a stern face, “If outsiders didn’t know, they would probably think you have a good relationship with him. Even better than your relationship with your eldest son, even better than your relationship with your husband.”
Mikoto frowned slightly.
Before she could say anything, Fugaku proactively explained, “I just have a bad premonition. I feel like something is going to happen tonight, and it’s likely related to Itachi, and likely related to the Uchiha clan.”
Mikoto was stunned.
Sasuke, who was nearby, even slowed down his eating speed upon hearing this, pricking up his ears to listen.
“Wasn’t Uchiha Setsuna already killed by Ikeizumi?”
Mikoto said, “The radical faction of the Uchiha clan has been in decline since that strike. They haven’t caused any trouble in recent days, nor have they taken any drastic actions or made any extreme statements.”
“In this situation, Itachi should have no reason to attack the Uchiha clan. Because without the radical faction inciting emotions, the Uchiha clan cannot threaten Konoha.”
She continued, “It’s not as if Itachi would make that kind of choice when the Uchiha clan currently poses no threat to Konoha, right?”
Mikoto felt that while her eldest son was extremely to the point where she didn’t recognize him, he shouldn’t be to a pathological degree.
She still had a faint filter for Itachi.
After all, he was her own flesh and blood; even if the bones were broken, the sinews were still connected.
“I don’t know either,” Fugaku exhaled a heavy breath. “The Hokage also knows of Ikeizumi’s prophecy, and I believe the Hokage would not want to see the entire Uchiha clan annihilated. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wanted to use the Uchiha clan before. The Uchiha clan is still a useful tool in his eyes.”
“So, he should persuade Itachi. Although Itachi doesn’t listen to his father or mother, he should listen to the Hokage’s orders and restrain himself because of it.”
The moment this sentence was spoken, Fugaku’s tone was somewhat lacking in confidence.
A normal person might indeed be as he said.
But…
Was Uchiha Itachi a normal person?
…
“Uchiha Itachi, your pathological, twisted, and hopeless thoughts have deviated from the scope of normal people in the ninja world. Even some heinous villains do not have such twisted thoughts as you. “
“Those villains, although unforgivable, at least have normal minds. But your mind, I can’t see any trace of normalcy. I’ve given you countless chances, and I’ve tolerated you countless times.”
“But every time, you have disregarded the opportunities justice gave you and your tolerance. You have become so beyond redemption that you have never even thought that what you were doing in your heart was wrong.”
Uchiha Ikeizumi approached Uchiha Itachi step by step.
As his cold and indifferent words continued to fall, the surrounding air temperature visibly rose. So much so that much of the scenery in Uchiha Itachi’s vision distorted.
A faint smell of sulfur still permeated the air, and the tender green buds on some of the roadside trees visibly turned yellow.
The edges of some dry leaves on the ground also showed faint sparks, as if spontaneously igniting from nowhere.
The high temperature made Uchiha Itachi’s face feel somewhat dry.
Breathing the air felt like a burning sensation in his lungs.
“It seems absolute justice is a threat to Konoha in your eyes, and you wish to erase absolute justice immediately.” Uchiha Ikeizumi stopped, less than ten meters away from Uchiha Itachi, and they faced each other across the distance.
“Because, that is the fact.” Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath of the scorching air with a sulfurous scent, feeling the discomfort in his lungs. The confident expression he had when facing Izumi had now gradually turned into a solemn vigilance.
He subtly shifted half a step back, creating a little distance between himself and Izumi, to prevent Izumi from suddenly ambushing him.
Then, he stared intently at Uchiha Ikeizumi and said, “Uchiha Ikeizumi, you have no idea how much destruction you have caused to Konoha. As you wielded the cleaver and killed countless ninjas, Konoha’s strength was gradually weakened by your cleaver.”
“Today’s Konoha is not even a third of its peak. All of this is thanks to your absolute justice. Do you dare say that Konoha’s decline has nothing to do with your absolute justice?”
“Uchiha Itachi! The ninjas killed by Senior Ikeizumi were merely termites within Konoha!” Izumi could no longer stand it.
She held her ninja sword and glared at Uchiha Itachi, “Those termites have been constantly hollowing out Konoha’s foundation! Danzo Shimura! For the sake of researching bloodline limits, he attacked Konoha’s bloodline limit users and Konoha’s war orphans. How many Konoha ninjas and civilians did he harm? Did you see that?!”
“Shin’nosuke Sarutobi! As the eldest son of Konoha’s Third Hokage, he guarded a secret research base and, while hiding it from the Hokage, conducted many cruel human experiments. He claimed to be doing it for Konoha’s good, but that was just his excuse for evil! Someone like him would only drag Konoha into the abyss!”
“Asuma Sarutobi! Colluded with outsiders, attempting to assassinate ninjas from his own village. As the Hokage’s second son, he sided with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Such a person claims to love Konoha, but in reality, he is the one who loves the village the least!”
“Besides these, there are many other termites! In your words, these wicked termites of Konoha have instead become victims of 「absolute justice」.”
“In your eyes, absolute justice has instead become Konoha’s evil.”
“I have never seen such a ridiculous person. Today, Uchiha Itachi, you have broadened my horizons! Senior Ikeizumi is right, your thoughts and even your mind have serious problems!”
In Izumi’s eyes, Senior Ikeizumi’s actions were all for the betterment of Konoha and the ninja world.
On the contrary, Uchiha Itachi had been misinterpreting Senior’s absolute justice.
Uchiha Itachi glanced at her, “Izumi, you have been brainwashed by his extreme justice. Konoha does not need its absolute justice; Konoha only needs the correct Will of Fire.”
With that, Uchiha Itachi deliberately shifted his gaze slightly, avoiding looking into Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes, lest he be affected by the opponent’s strange dojutsu.
Then he said to Uchiha Ikeizumi, “Since you intend to kill me without mercy, then I don’t need to…”
Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Itachi’s pupils contracted.
His Sharingan clearly captured Uchiha Ikeizumi’s movement.
The ten-meter distance was covered in an instant. Uchiha Itachi watched as the opponent instantly drew the ninja sword at his waist, and the sharp ninja sword slashed down towards his skull. If he didn’t evade this attack, he would certainly be split in half from top to bottom!
Uchiha Itachi quickly leaned back, the tip of the sword grazing past an Anbu mask, and the Anbu’s butterfly mask was instantly split in two.
Revealing a face that was somewhat young and somewhat solemn.
Evading the blow, Uchiha Itachi flicked his wrist and shot out more than ten shuriken.
While rapidly retreating, he sheathed his ninja sword and clapped his hands together, performing six hand seals in one second.
“Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Claw!!!”
The more than ten shuriken shot towards Uchiha Ikeizumi were enveloped in fierce flames, like more than ten striking flaming meteors.
Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft—
A large number of flaming shuriken directly entered Uchiha Ikeizumi’s body and passed through from behind him. To everyone’s astonishment… before these shuriken had flown even half a meter, they suddenly stopped their backward momentum and turned into pools of molten iron, falling to the ground.
At this time, Uchiha Itachi had retreated to the railing of the Konoha River bank behind him. He was not surprised by Uchiha Ikeizumi’s elemental resistance to fire and shuriken.
“Water Style: Water Fang Bullet!!!”
Immediately, several streams of water thicker than buckets shot out from the Konoha River behind him and rushed towards Uchiha Ikeizumi from several different directions.
Uchiha Itachi was not only proficient in Fire Style, but he also knew Water Style ninjutsu, though he was not as skilled in it as Fire Style ninjutsu.
“Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!!” A sudden voice sounded from behind Uchiha Ikeizumi. A shadow clone of Uchiha Itachi had appeared behind Ikeizumi at some point.
Instantly! A fierce water dragon lunged and bit towards Uchiha Ikeizumi.
“I have made many pre-battle plans to fight you.”
Uchiha Itachi’s expression was as calm as water, and he said coldly, “Lava cools rapidly when it encounters water, immediately solidifying into volcanic rocks like obsidian and basalt. Furthermore, I have witnessed several of your battles. When someone used Water Style ninjutsu against you, you always dodged or blocked, indicating that Water Style ninjutsu is indeed one of your weaknesses!”
Boom!!!
Several water streams and the Water Dragon Bullet technique all struck the location where Uchiha Ikeizumi was standing. At this moment, Uchiha Itachi also heard the ear-piercing “sizzle” sound of lava.
Hit!
No… Uchiha Itachi’s expression turned from pleased to worried, because he felt that Uchiha Ikeizumi would not fall so easily.
Since the opponent knew Water Style was his weakness, he must have had some precautions against it.
The next moment.
Uchiha Itachi felt a bad premonition, and his premonition came true in the blink of an eye. Because he suddenly saw a cloud of white steam explode in front of him, and the billowing, scalding steam rushed towards him like a shockwave from an explosion. The scalding steam instantly turned Uchiha Itachi’s face red.
He hurriedly retreated again, until he landed on the surface of the Konoha River, and immediately submerged his entire body in the river to avoid being engulfed by the erupting scalding white steam.
When he emerged from the water.
Looking up in a disheveled state.
He saw Uchiha Ikeizumi, his body flowing with lava, standing on the riverbank and looking down at him: “I told you to read more. Lava does cool rapidly when it encounters water. However, it also causes a violent explosive reaction. The water will be instantly vaporized, and the volume of vaporized water will expand rapidly by nearly two thousand times, creating a steam explosion phenomenon that will cook people alive.”
Uchiha Itachi heard the sarcasm in his tone and could see the lava on his right arm rapidly expanding and surging.
“Great Eruption!”
Just as Uchiha Itachi’s pupils contracted to pinpricks, a colossal lava fist descended towards his location!
Uchiha Itachi clapped his hands together.
“Crow Clone Jutsu!”
His body instantly transformed into crows scattering in all directions, while the lava giant fist heavily struck the Konoha River.
Rumble!!!
The deafening roar startled the entire Konoha. The Konoha River was forcefully struck by the lava giant fist, sending up exaggerated sprays of water tens of meters high, making even the riverbed clearly visible.
This punch…
It forcefully broke the Konoha River in half and diverted the flow for several seconds!
…
On the other side, Hiruzen Sarutobi was walking on the road back to the Sarutobi clan when he heard a commotion in the distance. He initially thought something had happened outside Konoha Village again, but then he frowned and peered intently in the direction of the sound, only to find that it was coming from within Konoha Village!
“What’s going on?!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s heart tightened. Tonight was destined not to let him rest for half a minute, was it?
“Hokage-sama.”
At this moment, an Anbu guard who was protecting the Hokage jumped down from the roof of a nearby building. The Anbu guard reported with a solemn tone, “It is most likely related to Uchiha Ikeizumi again, as I saw a light resembling Lava Release in that direction.”
“Ikeizumi…”
Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned. He suddenly thought of a possibility: “Could it be that the Akatsuki members who fought Ikeizumi outside the village earlier have now entered Konoha Village?!”
Although this possibility was unlikely, it was not impossible. The Akatsuki even accepted Orochimaru, and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that organization was definitely not good.
“Assemble all Anbu ninjas! Notify all Jonin in the village to immediately head in that direction!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s expression became stern, and he immediately issued orders one after another.
Then, he said to several other Anbu guards, “The rest of you, follow me! Prepare for enemies from outside the village!”
“Yes! Hokage-sama!”
…
The deafening roar of the “Great Eruption” breaking the Konoha River shattered the tranquility of the Uchiha clan compound, causing the small soup bowl on the dining table to jolt violently, splashing a few drops of soup.
Fugaku abruptly stood up, his movement so great that he knocked over the chair behind him, producing a sharp screeching sound in the silent room.
Sasuke, who had been burying his head in his meal, was startled and jolted.
His premonition intensified to the extreme. Fugaku, with a grim expression, strode to the porch, yanked open the door, and instantly flashed to the rooftop.
He saw in the deep night sky, in a certain direction of the distant village.
A dazzling, intense light was irregularly expanding, contracting, and pulsing, like a giant lava heart.
That light illuminated nearly half the sky. Orange-red and bright yellow colors churned and intertwined, and even from such a distance, the destructive, scorching aura could be felt, spreading outwards with a barely visible shockwave.
It was Lava Release…
It was Ikeizumi!
The ill omen…
Had come true!
“…Ikeizumi… and… Itachi, something has indeed happened!”
Fugaku’s stern voice was low and hoarse, with a tremor he himself didn’t notice. The premonition in his heart, his concern and restlessness about his eldest son Uchiha Itachi, now all focused on that rolling lava light.
A voice deep within Fugaku’s heart told him—this was not only related to Ikeizumi, but it was also related to Itachi!
It was highly possible that the very thing he dreaded most had occurred!
“Fugaku!” Mikoto also walked out.
But she could only see her husband’s retreating back quickly merging into the thick night outside.
She could only hear Uchiha Fugaku’s faint voice drifting in the wind: “It’s Ikeizumi’s Lava Release! I suspect that the person he is in conflict with within the village… is very likely Itachi! Stay home and watch Sasuke, don’t let him come out, and don’t let him know about this.”
Uchiha Mikoto: “!!!”
“Mother, what’s wrong?” Just then, Sasuke also came out, noticing only his mother outside.
Mikoto took a deep breath and forced a smile, “Something has happened with the Police Force, and your father needs to go handle it.”
She lied.
“I can help,” Sasuke believed her, his small face serious. “I’ve learned many useful things from Teacher Ikeizumi and Senior Izumi, I can assist Father.”
Mikoto ruffled Sasuke’s small head and said gently, “It’s not a troublesome matter, your father will be back soon.”
‘I hope so…’
The last three words flashed through Uchiha Mikoto’s mind.
…
The huge roar, carrying a heatwave, swept through Konoha, causing even the windowpanes of a certain inn room to vibrate.
Tsunade, who had been dozing off, suddenly opened her eyes, and the intense orange-red light instantly illuminated her golden hair and furrowed brows.
“Lava Release? Did that brat catch another villain? Why is this place like Tanzaku Street? How does that old man, as the Hokage of Konoha, manage Konoha? How can it be filled with so many outlaws targeted by that brat?”
The familiar, destructive surge of chaotic chakra made a hint of doubt flash in Tsunade’s eyes.
“Shizune! Go see what that brat is up to now!”
After she called out, she shot out like an arrow from a bow, breaking through the window and charging without hesitation towards the direction where the molten firelight was erupting.
“Lady Tsunade! Wait for me!”
Shizune called out urgently, almost instinctively hugging Tonton tightly, and then chased after her at the fastest speed.
…
On the other side, somewhere in Konoha.
Jiraiya sat cross-legged on the Hokage Rock, having just finished communicating with the two great Sages, Shima and Fukasaku.
Sage Shima’s voice still echoed in his ears: “Little Jiraiya, that child named ‘Neji Hyuga’… although his talent is astonishing and his fate is tragic, I did not sense the unique light of the ‘Harbinger of Change’ in him.”
“The clues to the prophecy from the Elder Lord and that impolite Uchiha brat are likely not on him. However, he is a child with potential, and he can become a companion to the Child of Prophecy in the future.”
Sage Shima said, “If you don’t mind the trouble, you can also take him as your disciple.”
Jiraiya scratched his messy white hair.
He sighed with some annoyance.
“Then it seems our direction was indeed off. Forget about taking him as a disciple, that would be competing for someone with the Hyuga Clan, wouldn’t it? There are many other targets on the list, like that Uchiha girl beside Ikeizumi…”
Just as he was about to mention “Uchiha Izumi,” who was being kept by Uchiha Ikeizumi, to Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima…
In the distance.
A pillar of molten fire that dyed the pitch-black night sky an eerie orange-red.
Instantly captured all of Jiraiya’s attention.
“What a huge disturbance! This…”
Sage Fukasaku, who had landed on Jiraiya’s shoulder, couldn’t help but squint his somewhat old and blurry eyes and ask, “Little Jiraiya, does your Konoha Village have some special festival fireworks display tonight?
“Fireworks display? This isn’t a performance at all! This is Lava Release—it’s that Ikeizumi guy fighting someone again! And it’s a no-holds-barred fight!” Jiraiya’s expression changed instantly.
To force Ikeizumi to use Lava Release of this scale within the village, his opponent’s strength must be absolutely astonishing!
Countless potential targets flashed through his mind, and the worst possible thought struck him like a bucket of ice water.
In Jiraiya’s impression, there were very few people in the entire Konoha who could fight Ikeizumi to this extent.
“Hiss! That Ikeizumi guy… he wouldn’t have attacked the Hokage, would he?”
He was startled by his own speculation.
…
More than half of the crows scattering in all directions were caught in the lava, instantly crushed into ash.
As Uchiha Ikeizumi’s gaze fell upon a certain spot, several crows flew onto a utility pole and converged into a human figure.
The pair of crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan in that figure’s eyes had already transformed into Mangekyo Sharingan!
“Tsukuyomi!!!”
This was Uchiha Itachi’s first time using his Mangekyo Sharingan’s ultimate Dojutsu on a fellow ninja within Konoha. The Mangekyo Sharingan pattern in his left eye also rotated slightly at this moment.
Uchiha Ikeizumi, standing by the riverbank, saw the Mangekyo pattern of Uchiha Itachi reflected in the depths of his eyes.
However, the next second.
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s body dissolved like flowing water.
“Shadow Clone? Lava Release Clone? He predicted I would definitely use a Mangekyo Dojutsu, so after using that technique, he immediately created a Lava Release Clone? Wait, he knows I have Mangekyo!”
Uchiha Itachi immediately became vigilant.
He suddenly realized a critical problem—since Uchiha Ikeizumi knows secret information about many people, is it possible that he also knows information about my Mangekyo Sharingan?
Would he know that my left eye is Tsukuyomi?
And would he know that my right eye is Amaterasu?
And…
Would he know that I have Shisui’s Mangekyo in my hand?
The sudden surge of worry in his heart did not extinguish Uchiha Itachi’s killing intent. A cold glint flashed in his crimson Mangekyo Sharingan, he took a deep breath, and instead of retreating, he advanced!
Swish!
Several Kunai, attached with Explosive Tags, shot out first with a piercing whistling sound.
Almost at the same time, his hands had completed a dazzling series of hand seals.
“Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!!!” Uchiha Itachi leaped into the air, his face tense, and as he opened his mouth, dozens of scorching fireballs poured down like a torrential rain from above the water wall.
The large number of fireballs, concealed by the obscuring steam, sealed off any space for Uchiha Ikeizumi to evade above him!
However, his only response was a cold voice.
“A dying struggle.”
Facing the rain of Kunai, which would normally pierce through an ordinary Jonin like a sieve, Uchiha Ikeizumi didn’t even move an inch. His outstretched arm instantly turned into lava.
The scorching, flowing, crimson rock extended and twisted like a living thing, forming half of a giant, angular Lava Dog.
The Lava Dog opened its mouth and bit down, and the sharp blades of all the Kunai, capable of piercing steel, melted away as quickly as ice and snow, eventually turning into pools of crimson molten iron.
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
The Explosive Tags on the Kunai detonated one after another, blasting the Lava Dog with countless holes, but failing to harm Uchiha Ikeizumi in the slightest.
Uchiha Itachi’s pupils contracted. This overwhelming gap in power made even him, who was usually calm, break out in a cold sweat.
However, he had verified one point—the Uchiha Ikeizumi before him was the real body!
A look of determination flashed in Uchiha Itachi’s eyes!
Since Tsukuyomi had been seen through, he would use the black flames that burned everything!
The Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye widened to its limit, and the distorted windmill-like pattern visibly began to rotate!
All his spirit, all his chakra, all his determined killing intent, poured into it madly!
He locked onto that blurred figure in the swirling steam.
He bet that Uchiha Ikeizumi only knew about “Tsukuyomi”! He bet that the opponent was not the so-called “omniscient and omnipotent”! How could there be an omniscient and omnipotent ninja in the Ninja World, wouldn’t that be a god? How could mere so-called Absolute Justice give birth to a god of the Ninja World?
Uchiha Itachi’s gaze focused…
Unprecedented Eye Power boiled in his right eye!
“Amaterasu!!!”
In an instant, an indescribable, extreme darkness that could swallow even light appeared out of nowhere in front of Uchiha Ikeizumi.
Those were black flames! They had no ignition point, could not be extinguished, and were the inextinguishable fire that used all things in the world as fuel!
The black flames burned silently, suppressing the high temperature of the lava, as if to completely incinerate Uchiha Ikeizumi’s body.
“Huff… huff… huff…”
Uchiha Itachi was breathing heavily. At only twelve years old, after consecutively using Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, his body’s Eye Power consumption had reached its limit.
His face was deathly pale.
“Cough… cough cough!” He couldn’t help but cover his mouth and cough twice. When he moved his hand away, he saw a vibrant splash of crimson appear on his palm—this was the blood he had coughed out.
“Phew!”
But Uchiha Itachi didn’t care. After exhaling deeply, he gazed at the black flames and Uchiha Ikeizumi in front of him.
“Did it succeed?”
“Hmm?”
Uchiha Itachi suddenly froze. As the surrounding steam dispersed somewhat with a gentle breeze, he was shocked to see a circle of enormous crimson bones surrounding Uchiha Ikeizumi, and terrifying chakra and Eye Power fluctuations surged from the opponent.
The black flames of Amaterasu were not burning on Uchiha Ikeizumi’s body but on that circle of giant bones.
One word… came out of Uchiha Itachi’s mouth: “Susanoo!”
“Uchiha Itachi.” Uchiha Ikeizumi’s tone was cold and devoid of any fatigue. Even though he had already used Mangekyo Dojutsu twice before, his condition was incomparably better than Uchiha Itachi’s.
His voice slowly sounded, “When I encounter a fool, I will try to wake him up in my own way. If he doesn’t wake up, I’ll cut off one of his arms. If he still doesn’t wake up, I’ll cut off his limbs until he does.”
Uchiha Itachi was taken aback.
What did these words mean? Did he intend to spare his life even though he wanted to kill him?
“But.”
But Uchiha Ikeizumi’s next sentence interrupted Itachi’s speculation: “If the fool encountered is both stupid and evil, and violates the taboos of justice, then I will use a simpler and more direct method.”
As his voice fell, to Uchiha Itachi’s shocked gaze, the circles of giant bones surrounding Uchiha Ikeizumi continued to grow larger, and a skeleton arm also appeared with a weapon.
—It was a colossal Ninja Sword.
“The gap… is this large…” Uchiha Itachi was somewhat dazed.
He had once believed that he also possessed Mangekyo Sharingan.
Even if his age was slightly less than Uchiha Ikeizumi’s, and his strength might be slightly inferior, the difference shouldn’t be that significant. In a one-on-one fight, he might often be at a disadvantage, but at least he would have some chance of winning.
It wasn’t until he truly came into physical conflict with Uchiha Ikeizumi.
That he realized the gap between them.
“But… do not underestimate my resolve! And do not underestimate my will to protect Konoha!” Blood overflowed from Uchiha Itachi’s eyes, his youthful face became even paler, and a similar circle of giant bones slowly materialized around his body!
The color of Uchiha Itachi’s Susanoo and Uchiha Ikeizumi’s Susanoo were very similar.
“Susanoo!”
A cold voice, gritted between his teeth, came from his mouth.
Susanoo rapidly entered its second form.
Based on the skeleton, a large amount of flesh and blood veins rapidly covered it, wrapping all the Susanoo’s bones with a chakra outer layer, and a large crimson sword was tightly grasped by Susanoo.
“Hah…”
“Phew…”
The second form of Susanoo was already the limit for the twelve-year-old Uchiha Itachi, and this was the first time he had used this ability.
He didn’t know how long he could last, maybe half a minute, maybe only a short ten seconds, or even less than ten seconds.
“I must… end this quickly…”
Before he finished speaking.
Uchiha Itachi froze. His eyes and his gaze continuously moved upwards until he tilted his head back. In the depths of his pupils, there was a trace of unconcealable shock.
He saw—
An extremely tall, crimson Susanoo covered in armor stood proudly within Konoha, its height at least three to four times that of Uchiha Itachi’s Susanoo!
The moment that Susanoo stood within Konoha Village.
It was like a crimson volcano!
“Face reality, there is a gap… even between Mangekyo Sharingan.” The moment Uchiha Ikeizumi’s voice reached Uchiha Itachi’s ears, the giant, lava-surging crimson Ninja Sword had already slashed down at him.
Even the Ninja Sword in the opponent’s Susanoo was larger than the Susanoo he had summoned…
—Rumble!!!
Uchiha Itachi’s second-form Susanoo, like a fragile piece of tofu, was vertically sliced in half!
The image in his vision froze on that divine-like crimson Susanoo.
“It truly is…”
“To end it quickly…”
He muttered to himself.
In the instant the Blade flashed by, his fragile body was instantly vaporized, leaving no possibility of being reanimated through Edo Tensei.
Uchiha Itachi…
Died!
…
…
