The Masked Man Wasn't Uchiha Madara!

"Amaterasu!"

Uchiha Itachi activated Amaterasu once more.

This time, it was not aimed at Shisui, but at the Splitting Dog summoned by Edo Nagato.

The undying flames that could burn a target to ashes perfectly countered the Splitting Dog, instantly killing it.

"Itachi, have you broken free from the control?"

Edo Nagato was greatly surprised to see that Uchiha Itachi was no longer attacking Shisui and the others.

Even he himself had been unable to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Yeah. Amaterasu!"

Uchiha Itachi merely nodded without explaining, then unleashed another Amaterasu at Edo Nagato and the giant bird.

Under the terrifying power of Amaterasu, the giant bird let out a mournful cry. Edo Nagato, likewise ignited by the black flames, fell to the ground.

"Using Mangekyo Dojutsu like Great Fireball. Feels amazing."

Obito wore an envious expression.

If he could use Kamui whenever he pleased, he would use Kamui even to throw away trash. He would not bother carrying an umbrella in the rain either—he would use Susanoo to shield himself from it.

"I didn't expect him to have Kotoamatsukami too."

Kabuto's expression darkened somewhat. Uchiha Itachi had been one of his trump cards, yet he had been taken away just like that.

"Still, with Nagato here, there is another chance. If we win, the gains will be enormous."

Kabuto did not panic. He prepared to focus on personally controlling Edo Nagato, maximizing Edo Nagato's strength.

He possessed Hashirama Cells. If he could obtain Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, it would be like gaining another trump card.

Just as Nagato was about to seize the chance to seal Edo Nagato, Edo Nagato unleashed Shinra Tensei, repelling both Amaterasu and Nagato.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Edo Nagato used a Summoning Technique again. White smoke flashed by, but nothing appeared on
