Orochimaru-Kabuto vs. Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke is currently unaware of anything, still thinks Tobi has lied to him.

He clearly witnessed Itachi die right in front of him, so what's the deal with the Itachi appearing now?

However, Itachi doesn't have time to fool around with Sasuke right now.

Now he had to stop Kabuto's Impure World Reincarnation, so the two of them chased and ran.

Before long, they appeared in the cave where Kabuto Yakushi was.

Faced with the barrier set up by Kabuto, Itachi simply activated the initial form of Susanoo and smashed it open with a single punch.

Itachi slowly walked in, and Kabuto, standing to the side, seemed to have expected it.

Kabuto had just dealt with Anko, who had come to gather intelligence, in the cave, but he didn't go too far with this fellow disciple.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have become a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation by now.

There's nothing I can do; you're from the same school as me, and I'm just too kind.

"Oh, by the way, I have some news for you: even killing me won't stop the Impure World Reincarnation."

In other words, unless Kabuto stops on his own initiative, no one can interfere with him.

At that moment, the snake beside Kabuto suddenly raised its body and sniffed hard; someone nearby was chasing after them.

"Hahaha!"

Without warning, Kabuto burst into laughter.

"It seems my fortunes are more than just a stroke of luck."

It turns out that Sasuke Uchiha caught up with them. It seems Kabuto won't have to wait until the war is over to get Sasuke.

"I've caught up with you. What brings you to a place like this...?"

At this moment, Sasuke suddenly noticed that there were other people around him, but even with Sasuke Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he didn't recognize Kabuto Yakushi.

Orochimaru?

Sasuke stared warily at Kabuto Yakushi, who, in his mind, had clearly killed Orochimaru.

"Not entirely correct."

Sasuke recognized Kabuto's voice; however, Kabuto now looked too much like Orochimaru.

Sasuke was unaware that Tobi had already sold him to Kabuto Yakushi, and now Kabuto could get his spoils ahead of time.

That's so lucky.

However, the only thing he needs to deal with now is the two Itachi brothers in front of him. Once he takes care of them, his mission will be successfully completed.

"Unfortunately, I hate being controlled by others the most." Itachi's gaze was fixed on Kabuto.

The atmosphere gradually became tense.

For some reason, Dou seems a bit abnormal lately, like a mental patient, saying things that others can't understand.

Suddenly, countless small snakes emerged from behind the pocket, and the snakes' bodies began to grow larger and larger.

"But a snake expert alone can't defeat me! This is my territory, and the power of nature aids me in battle."

The giant serpent lunged at Sasuke and his companion, the powerful impact causing the mountain wall to crack.

When the smoke cleared, two Susanoo appeared, and the giant tongue that Kabuto had just summoned was cut off by Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo a sword.

"Don't be too ruthless; we can't kill him outright."

"Tch, just like Orochimaru, he's not going to die so easily."

The conversation between the two seemed to have Kabuto Yakushi under their control. Itachi grabbed the snake's head with all his might and pulled Kabuto Yakushi over with a strong tug.

"Sasuke!" Itachi threw Kabuto's body towards Sasuke.

As if receiving a signal, Sasuke swung his Susanoo and slashed at Kabuto. The two's coordination seemed flawless.

Kabuto's cloak was lifted, revealing three white snakes inside. The real Kabuto Yakushi had already dodged the attack.

The white snake burst out from the cloak and darted behind the stone pillars, though it was quite fast.

But in front of you are two Mangekyō Sharingan users. All the moves seem to freeze in their eyes. Sasuke drew his Kusanagi Sword and nailed one of them to a stone pillar.

"Did he escape by shedding his skin?" Looking at the clothes lying on the ground, Sasuke realized that he hadn't actually been hit.

"You're nothing but a inferior version transplanted with Orochimaru's remnants." Unable to find Kabuto, Sasuke decided to use reverse psychology to force him to reveal himself.

"Sasuke, are you underestimating me?"

The voice came from somewhere, and although Kabuto's words were much more normal, we could still hear the anger in them.

[Fugaku: Is this the future Itachi and Sasuke?]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Actually, I'm quite curious why Fugaku would name his youngest son like that?]

[Fugaku: Well, it's just that I admire Sarutobi Sasuke very much, so I hope Sasuke can become someone like Sarutobi Sasuke- sama.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: I see.]

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi said that, he still didn't understand why Uchiha Fugaku, while admiring him, would give his son the same name as his father. That was a bit unreasonable.

Of course, it's not fair to criticize Hiruzen Sarutobi, since Fugaku's reasons were quite reasonable.

[Obito: Wow, Itachi and Sasuke have such great teamwork!]

[Obito: But if I'm not mistaken, the person lying on the ground should be Anko, right? You died there?]

[Anko: Ah! Obito Uchiha, what are you talking about? You're the one who died! Can't you see I'm just unconscious?!]

Yes, looking at the Anko on the screen, it doesn't seem like it's dead; it seems like it really did faint.

[Obito: That's bad too. Look at Itachi and Kabuto's fight, the cave is almost collapsing. If no one comes to your rescue, you'll be in real trouble.]

[Rin: Obito's focus is really... unique.]

[Asuma: Yeah, Obito, why are you always so concerned about whether that cave will collapse or not?]

Obito was thinking about how he died when he was crushed by a collapsing boulder. He saw that Anko was in the same predicament as him, and he was very unwilling to see his good friend in danger.

[Anko: It's okay, Itachi will save me, he should save me, right? I even treated him to some Three-Colored Dumplings before.]

[Obito: How could Itachi possibly eat that? Don't think Itachi is a child.]

In Obito's eyes, Itachi, though young, was very mature and exceptionally talented. How could he possibly like sweets like tricolor dumplings?

Also, Anko, don't you think you eat too many tricolor meatballs? Who would eat tricolor meatballs as a meal?

[Itachi: Where can I find Sansai Dango?]

[Uchiha Fugaku:?]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Itachi, what are you talking about?]

[Itachi: Sorry, Father, I was just curious, no, I'm interested in the Three-Colored Dumplings.]

[Anko: Deceive]

Before Anko could even speak, Itachi quickly changed the subject, no longer discussing the Three-Colored Dumplings.

Fugaku didn't take Itachi's words seriously; he didn't think his son would like sweets.

In reality, Itachi can eat sweets as a meal, but even Anko wouldn't dare to eat them as a meal, yet Itachi does.
