Sasuke

Obito's eyes narrowed dangerously.

The girl's provocation stirred up anger he hadn't felt in many years, quietly rising from the depths of his heart.

This is probably because, when faced with the provocation of ants, Obito doesn't truly get angry; he only finds it laughable...

However, Sakura Haruno's presence made him feel threatened!

Shisui's Sharingan, Sage Mode, Water Blade Technique, Monstrous Strength Technique, Ice Body Flicker Technique... and most importantly, his incredibly fast reaction speed.

Its difficulty level completely surpasses that of Minato Namikaze back then!

However, as the mastermind behind the scenes who had been stirring up trouble in the Shinobi World for over a decade, Obito's emotions only fluctuated for a moment before he forcibly calmed them down.

When Obito acted as a "Tobi," Obito suffered far more contempt and disdain than this, yet he could endure it with a smile. How much more so would he tolerate this little provocation?

He was more accustomed to maneuvering others to charge ahead while he remained hidden behind, rather than personally engaging in battle.

"Heh heh..." Obito chuckled coldly, calmly saying, "Are you deliberately provoking me, Sakura Haruno?"

"I must say, your battle with Danzo was truly spectacular... However, you must have expended a lot of energy, right? Under these circumstances, is it really a good thing to provoke the enemy?"

"Or do you think that Sasuke will truly forget the hatred of Konoha's massacre of the Uchiha Clan and give up his revenge just because you killed Danzo for him... like a child who has been blinded by all the truth, joining forces with you to fight me, and then going back to the village to continue playing ninja games with you?"

What do you think, Sasuke?

He turned and glanced at Sasuke with a meaningful look.

A very crude attempt at provocation... but it was Sasuke.

Sakura Haruno frowned and looked over as well.

"Sasuke, don't let hatred cloud your mind..." she said softly.

Sakura Haruno didn't believe her words could change Sasuke's mind; in the end, she'd likely subdue Sasuke with her fists. At best, Sasuke might change his mind because she killed Danzo, in which case perhaps she'd hold back a bit when she attacked...

Unfortunately, Sakura wasn't so optimistic.

At this moment, all three pairs of eyes on the field were fixed on Sasuke, awaiting his answer.

The boy's answer was not unexpected.

"Hahaha--!" He burst into maniacal laughter, his smile twisted into a hideous grimace by rage, before finally stopping after a long while. "Madara, you're right... My revenge won't just stop at Danzo."

He recalled again the tragic death of Itachi, his parents lying in a pool of blood, and his usually kind clansmen...

Sasuke looked at the calm-faced girl standing on the shoulders of a giant, and his anger burned uncontrollably.

Why should Itachi die tragically, burdened with everything, while you can live safely and happily, laughing and joking!

"The Konoha High Command! And Sakura Haruno, you shameless Konoha Ninja who enjoys the peace Itachi sacrificed himself for! Everyone like you is the target of my revenge!"

"Want to stop hatred from clouding my heart? You can... resurrect my clan, my parents, and Itachi before my very eyes! If you can do that, I'll give up my revenge!"

The handsome face of the black-haired boy was contorted as he roared.

His attitude remained exactly the same as it had been ten minutes ago.

It can even become more distorted and paranoid...

The texture of the Chakra, along with the unvented rage, grew even darker!

Perhaps it was Danzo's ugly right arm and his despicable practice of treating the Sharingan as disposable items that enraged him even more, while Sakura Haruno's two Mangekyō seemed to be mocking him as well.

Even former comrades coveted the power of the Sharingan, insulting the honor of the Uchiha.

Sakura Haruno keenly sensed this from Sasuke's eyes.

Did the Mangekyō... have the opposite effect?

She was speechless for a moment, simply staring coldly at Sasuke.

Whoosh--!

A purple Chakra giant suddenly appeared from Sasuke's body.

This Susanoo is more complete than the previous Susanoo form. It is no longer just an empty ribcage; muscles and fascia have begun to grow between the bones. The emaciated Susanoo become fuller, as if it has formed a real giant.

That's how the Uchiha's power works; accompanied by hatred and enmity, their power grows rapidly. This is reflected in Susanoo, where the purple giant becomes even larger, more complete, and stronger!

"Not bad..." Obito stepped aside, silently thinking, "This is exactly the trend I want!"

The imposing Susanoo held a massive bow and arrow in its hands, its cold gaze indifferently fixed on Sakura Haruno, who stood atop the Giant God Warrior not far away.

A murderous intent emanated from the giant.

"Speechless now, aren't you?" Sasuke sneered, raising his voice, "Let me tell you, the Sharingan is the symbol of the Uchiha Clan... not something a lowly scum like you can flaunt!"

He paused, a cruel smile spreading across his face, "So, I'm going to kill you and rip those Sharingan I stole from your body...!"

Susanoo draw his bow and nock an arrow, the string as taut as a full moon, and aim it at Sakura Haruno.

Faced with Sasuke's chilling, almost tangible killing intent, and the menacing giant arrow in the purple giant's hand...

Sakura Haruno finally broke her indifference and silence.

"Sasuke, even if you're like this, I'll still hold back... I won't kill you."

The young girl parted her lips slightly and spoke slowly.

"And, honestly..." Sakura Haruno said coldly, touching her eye socket with her fingers.

"The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is not worth showing off."

As she said this, she glanced coldly at the Masked Man had quietly walked off to watch the show after his provocation was over.

"After you've dealt with Sasuke, you'll be next!"

Sakura Haruno's bloodshot eyes revealed such naked killing intent.

Sasuke's eyes widened suddenly.

Faced with the threat of Susanoo, would she dare to be distracted and look elsewhere?

The boy's expression turned furious. "Don't talk like you can kill me at any moment!"

Call out--!

Accompanied by Sasuke's roar, Susanoo unleashed a fierce arrow!

This arrow was fired precisely at the moment when Sakura Haruno glanced at Obito with an Obito.

Despite his agitated and angry state of mind, Sasuke instinctively seized the opportunity.

Sakura Haruno was given almost no time to react.

The arrow flashed by, striking the ice giant in the blink of an eye!

Boom!

"Hit!" Karin shouted instinctively.

"No... it was dodged." Obito calmly shook his head.

Sasuke showed no smugness at having hit the girl.

He looked over coldly and saw a swaying purple arrow stuck in the body of the Giant God Warrior, which was nearly ten times larger than Susanoo.

Not a single drop of blood flowed from the arrow.

Sakura Haruno's figure had already appeared on the other side of the ice giant.

Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!

"Given that girl's reaction speed, even if Sasuke attacks unexpectedly, such a direct attack method wouldn't be able to hit her at all... Sakura Haruno deliberately lured Sasuke into making a move," Obito analyzed inwardly.

Watching the pink giant pull out the Chakra arrow and casually toss it aside, Obito's heart stirred.

"Moreover, even with Sasuke's Susanoo's attack power, it couldn't penetrate that ice giant... This technique seems to be more than it appears!"

Sasuke had clearly noticed these points as well... at least he realized the first one after Karin reminded him.

"You've seen through my attack method, Sasuke!" the red-haired girl shouted. "To hit her, we need to be faster and more direct!"

Sasuke, his face grim and breathing slightly heavily, desperately channeled his Chakra into Susanoo.

With the influx of Chakra, the purple giant drew his bow once more without pause.

Call out!

Chakra -infused arrow shot out with deadly speed and menacing force!

"A futile attack," Sakura Haruno commented casually, disappearing from her spot just before the arrow struck her.

Unsurprisingly, Susanoo's attack missed again!

Is it in vain?

Sasuke grinned as he watched Sakura Haruno appear on the other side of the ice giant.

The attack hasn't stopped yet!

Almost the instant she landed, the boy prepared his next technique.

"Mangekyō Secret Technique..."

"According to!"

However, Sakura Haruno's Ninjutsu was one step ahead of his.

"Genjutsu: Mirror Flower, Water Moon!" (See Chapter 57)
