[Sasuke Uchiha: "Heh, you've angered a furious lion. This was all part of my plan!!"]
[Uchiha Izuna: "Your brother has the Mangekyō, and you've only got the Mitsudomoe. How are you supposed to fight him?"]
[Madara Uchiha: "Izuna, I think I can see it now. There's something not quite right with Sasuke's head..."]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Shut up! I'll definitely kill that beast Itachi!!!!"]
[Deidara: "Enough, I can't stand watching this anymore. Forget Itachi, even I could kill you without breaking a sweat!!"]
[Hidan: "Heh, I could kill Sasuke without breaking a sweat too!"]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "You shouldn't be so sure. What if neither of you can beat him..."]
The footage continued.
The commentator analyzed what happened next, while Black Zetsu and White Zetsu watched from the side.
Both men rapidly formed Hand Seals, then unleashed Great Fireballs at the same time!
Bang!
The scorching flames collided violently.
The surrounding air gradually turned from cold and thin to searing hot.
Anyone with eyes could see that Sasuke's flames were stronger. Itachi was quickly overwhelmed.
With no other choice,
Itachi slowly opened his right eye, leaving a streak of blood beneath it.
"Amaterasu!"
Bang!
Black flames instantly ignited the Great Fireball in the distance.
In the blink of an eye,
the black flames swallowed the Great Fireball, completely overwhelming Sasuke's attack.
Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the black flames before him.
The black flames were about to reach his body.
Itachi extinguished the flames in time.
Watching from a distance, Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief.
But he faintly sensed that something was wrong.
Could my brother be deliberately holding back in this fight?
Of course,
that was impossible!!
Smoke drifted past, and the tension gradually mounted.
Itachi's gaze grew weaker. He stared at Sasuke without saying another word.
Sasuke gradually closed in on Itachi, moving in a spiral.
Itachi opened his right eye and fixed his gaze on Sasuke. Masses of black flames erupted wherever he looked.
The flames began chasing Sasuke, and his wings were about to be burned.
"Aaaaaah..." Sasuke instantly dropped to the ground, screaming in agony.
Seeing that Sasuke's wings had been burned, Itachi canceled Amaterasu.
He then walked away. After all, his goal was to force Orochimaru out of Sasuke's body.
[Naruto Uzumaki: "Come to think of it, Sasuke should have had Kage Level strength by this point, right?"]
[Fourth Raikage A: "Definitely, but his combat experience was seriously lacking..."]
[Ōnoki: "That's true!"]
[Kitsuchi: "Itachi's strength should have been at the peak of Kage Level, right?"]
[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "He's handsome. What a shame he's about to die..."]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "I never expected the Shinobi World to have another top-tier powerhouse like him. What a shame..."]
The footage continued.
Itachi had just reached out to touch Sasuke's body when he abruptly froze.
Before him, Sasuke's body rapidly shed its skin, as if liquefying.
The ground suddenly collapsed,
leaving a deep pit. Sasuke appeared below, his face covered in liquid.
Sasuke had already devised a strategy earlier.
If he was hit by the black flames again, he would cut through the ground with Chidori, then slip below using a snake substitution.
"I've been waiting for this moment!"
Sasuke quickly activated his Cursed Seal form and rapidly formed Hand Seals.
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
To avoid being caught by the flames, Itachi quickly jumped away, but he was still caught in the blast.
The flames shot straight into the sky, and dark clouds instantly filled the air overhead.
The ceiling cracked open with a crash, sending smoke billowing in every direction.
Itachi gasped for breath.
Sasuke was just as exhausted, his Chakra depleted.
But I have the advantage!
[Minato Namikaze: "Both of them are out of Chakra. There's no doubt this will be decided next..."]
[Kushina Uzumaki: "Sigh, I'd met that boy Itachi before. He left quite an impression on me. I never expected him to die like this..."]
[Uchiha Mikoto: "Why did it turn out this way..."]
[Obito Uchiha: "..."]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Itachi, were you holding back?"]
[Uchiha Itachi: "."]
The footage continued.
Both men were utterly exhausted, panting heavily.
Sasuke's Cursed Seal form quickly faded, but he was brimming with confidence.
He looked up at the sky as rain poured down.
The corners of Sasuke's mouth rose, his face full of confidence.
Itachi looked puzzled, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.
"It's true, I don't have any Chakra left. I just used it all up," Sasuke said.
As he spoke, rain poured down on him.
"In just an instant, this Ninjutsu will be impossible to evade, just like Amaterasu.
So, as you wished, I'll show you how you die once more!"
Boom!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared high overhead.
Sasuke leaped into the air and raised one hand. The lightning in the sky rapidly gathered.
The commentator, Black Zetsu, and White Zetsu began analyzing the scene:
"So Sasuke deliberately fired his Fire Style into the sky from the start to create an updraft!"
"The name of the jutsu is—Kirin!"
The fearsome Kirin in the sky threw back its head and roared.
"Come on!" Sasuke shouted.
Bang!
The blue Kirin roared incessantly as Sasuke looked down at Itachi from above.
"Vanish with the thunder! Kirin!"
Sasuke raised one hand, then brought it down swiftly.
With a roar, Kirin plunged from the sky toward Itachi!
Bang!
The entire ground exploded in an instant, and blue light flooded the surroundings.
The blue flash lit the pitch-black night until it turned white, as if dawn had broken.
The smoke gradually cleared.
Sasuke gasped for breath as he looked at the unconscious Itachi in the distance.
The scene shifted.
The surrounding area had been flattened by that single strike.
When the people watching the video saw this,
their pupils contracted sharply, and they exclaimed, "Holy shit, that's... that's insane!"
[Deidara: "That explosive power..."]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Hahaha, my move is fucking awesome! Vanish with the thunder, Ride Rin!!!!!"]
[Obito Uchiha: "What did you just say??"]
[Sasuke Uchiha: "Kirin? I made a typo just now..."]
[Obito Uchiha: "It's fine, I read it wrong..."]
[Rin Nohara: "..."]
[Kakashi Hatake: "Ahem..."]
[Minato Namikaze: "You three still get along as well as you used to..."]
[Kurotsuchi: "So, did Itachi just die like that?"]
[System: "Everyone, take a guess. Is Itachi dead?"]
[Tobirama Senju: "He's definitely not dead. Itachi used Susanoo!!"]
["Congratulations to Tobirama Senju for answering correctly. Reward: deeper mastery of forbidden techniques!"]
[Tobirama Senju: "There's a reward for that???"]
[Hashirama Senju: "Otouto, is it Water Release Ninjutsu?"]
[Tobirama Senju: "No, big brother..."]
[Hashirama Senju: "Then ban it for me!!!"]
[Tobirama Senju: "???"]
