The Death of Uchiha Itachi

However, Orochimaru's imagination was wonderful, but unfortunately, he was trapped at the first step before he could even put his ideas into practice.

I don't know which scoundrel put a ring of seals around Sasuke's Cursed Seal on his shoulder, causing him to be trapped and dying now...

After struggling desperately for several dozen seconds, Orochimaru, who possessed a vast amount of Ninjutsu knowledge, finally found a way to break the seal!

Soon, he successfully broke the seal, and his huge body emerged from the Cursed Seal on Sasuke's shoulder, transforming into Giant Snake that appeared on the ruins of the Uchiha Clan's base!

At this moment, Orochimaru transformed into a White Snake with eight heads and a tail!

This is his greatest and strongest Ninjutsu!!

Shinki, who witnessed this scene, narrowed his eyes.

He had seen this technique in the Scroll of Seals!

S-rank Forbidden Technique, the Eight Branches Technique!

"Their vitality is truly amazing," Shinki couldn't help but exclaim.

Amidst the ruins, Orochimaru, transformed into the colossal Yamata no Orochi, wore a smug expression!

"Itachi, thank you so much for your help."

"If it weren't for your help in weakening Sasuke's Chakra, I really wouldn't be able to get out today."

"I couldn't have your eyes before, but now I've found someone better!"

"I'm about to obtain your brother's body..."

However, Orochi stopped mid-sentence as if something had choked him!

All eight of its heads simultaneously displayed expressions of shock, staring intently at the Shinki.

ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!

Shinki!

What's he doing here?!

This kid knows a bunch of random Ninjutsu, and I can't even beat him. Plus, there's a good chance he can break my possession of Sasuke...

The Yamata no Orochi stared at the Shinki, its thoughts racing.

Shinki and the giant serpent made eye contact, Shenmu smiled slightly, and shouted.

"Sage Art: Orochi Memorial Archway!"

The next moment!

"Splash--"

More than a dozen enormous Wooden Torii fell from the sky!

"Clang--"

It pressed down entirely on the body of the eight-headed serpent, completely sealing its fate!

Clean and efficient!!

Yamata no Orochi: I f***ing...

However, just as Shinki was about to make his next move, the weakened Itachi suddenly raised his hand, signaling for him to do it.

Shinki looked doubtful.

Itachi looked so weak, as if he would breathe his last at any moment...

Is it feasible?

"I'll do it; my Totsuka Blade can seal him away forever."

The weasel explained.

Seeing that Shinki insisted, Kamiki didn't say anything more.

Then, Itachi, dragging his heavily injured body, controlled the giant Susanoo and approached the suppressed Yamata no Orochi step by step.

Finally, Itachi and his Susanoo reached the side of Orochi.

"Call--"

He raised his hand and swung the Totsuka Blade.

"Whoosh--"

Just as the Crimson Totsuka Blade pierced one of the heads of Yamata no Orochi!

The giant sword transformed into a gourd, sucking the entire body of the eight-headed serpent inside!

Once the enormous Yamata no Orochi had completely disappeared, Sasuke's body was exposed. He collapsed onto the open ground, panting heavily.

After doing all that, Itachi was even weaker.

The sky, which was not clear to begin with, was now overcast with dark clouds, gloomy and oppressive.

At this moment, Itachi was so weak that it seemed as if every breath he took was a great pain.

"Sasuke..."

As Itachi spoke, he lifted his foot and staggered toward Sasuke.

Sasuke, having exhausted his Chakra, retreated in terror, using both his hands and feet.

Until finally, with nowhere left to retreat, they leaned against Taiseki engraved with the Uchiha Clan crest...

He looked at Shinki with pleading eyes.

Shinki turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.

Sasuke panicked.

He faced Itachi and roared, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

But his powerless roar couldn't stop Uchiha Itachi's advance.

In the end, Itachi walked up to Sasuke. Looking at his younger brother, who was almost as tall as him, his eyes became cloudy, and he slowly raised his hand...

Sasuke learned from his previous Genjutsu battle with Uchiha Itachi that the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan has side effects.

To completely eliminate this side effect, it is necessary to transplant the eyes of other Uchiha Clan and awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

The success rate of this type of transplant is not 100%. The closer the blood relationship between the two people, the higher the success rate of the transplant.

Itachi said that he let Sasuke go on the night of the massacre so that he could wait for Sasuke to grow up and then take his eyes.

So.

At that moment, when Sasuke saw Itachi raise his hand, he assumed that his cold-blooded Older Brother wanted to take away his eyes.

Out of fear, exhaustion, and other reasons, he was unable to mount any resistance and could only watch helplessly as Uchiha Itachi brought his trembling hand toward his face...

Finally, Uchiha Itachi's blood-stained hand touched Sasuke's face.

His index and middle fingers touched Sasuke's forehead...

The sky, which had been overcast, began to rain.

Raindrops fell on Sasuke's face, feeling incredibly cold.

"Forgive me, Sasuke."

"Whoosh..."

After saying these last words, Itachi's body went limp, and he died in front of Sasuke.

The rain intensified.

The drizzling rain seemed to be washing away all traces of Itachi's existence in this world.

Sasuke was still reeling from the sudden turn of events, leaning against the spot, panting heavily.

After everything was over, Shinki walked to Sasuke's side.

He lowered his head and silently gazed at Uchiha Itachi's corpse.

Shinki certainly has the power to revive him.

Itachi knew this too.

Therefore, when he met Shinki in the inner hall, he gave him special instructions.

He does not need to be resurrected after his death.

Sasuke may not know much, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

Itachi clearly had a chance to kill me, but he died at the very last moment before he could succeed.

Sasuke raised his head, Mitsudomoe in his Sharingan shifted and changed around his pupils, eventually transforming into a strange six-pointed star pattern.

Just as Itachi had envisioned, after his death, Sasuke successfully awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Do you know something?

Sasuke suddenly looked at the Shinki.

The pattering rain masked Sasuke's voice, making it difficult for Shinki to hear him.

Even though he could hear it, he selectively ignored Sasuke's words.

Shinki slowly bent down and took out two medical sealed jars from the sealed Scroll behind his waist.

Then, he gathered Medical Chakra in his hands and slowly reached into Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

Sasuke frowned. "Answer my question!!"

Shinki: "I'll explain later. Right now, I'm going to follow Itachi's will and take his eyes."

"You know, he didn't just ask me for help with this kind of thing. ┐(´-`)┌"

I have to get ahead of the other person.

After saying that, Shinki performed a series of actions and, in just a few seconds, removed a pair of the Uchiha Clan eyes that everyone in the Shinobi World coveted.

After placing the pair of eyes into two separate medical sealed containers, Shinki turned to look at Sasuke.

Let's go.

Just then, an unnamed fluctuation suddenly appeared in the space.

Then, a person wearing a yellow mask and the Black Robes of the Akatsuki appeared!

Looking at the scene before him, he said in a flippant voice, "Oh dear, it seems I'm still a step too late."

This person is none other than Tobi, who once went on a mission with Deidara and Sasori!

However, Shinki learned of his other identity from Itachi.

The former head of the Uchiha.

He was known as one of the "legendary Ninjas " alongside Hashirama Senju!

Madara Uchiha!
