Itachi's Death

Taking advantage of Uchiha Yue being trapped in a genjutsu and unable to control Susanoo, he directly used the Piercing Spike Technique on Susanoo.

Bang!

In the next instant, countless spikes burst from Susanoo's chest, tearing open a huge hole and exposing Uchiha Yue within.

"Die!"

Uchiha Obito raised his hand toward Uchiha Yue's chest, intending to rip out his heart and kill this unexpected nuisance.

However, a hand seized Obito's hand.

"What?"

Uchiha Obito was startled. He abruptly looked up at Uchiha Yue, who had regained consciousness.

Uchiha Yue stared at Uchiha Obito indifferently. The next instant, he raised his hand and clawed for Uchiha Obito's eye.

Uchiha Obito hastily turned his head aside and activated Kamui. His body immediately phased, evading Uchiha Yue's strike. Then he raised his hand and directly severed the arm Uchiha Yue was holding before rapidly retreating.

In the distance, Uchiha Itachi clutched his eye, his face twisted. He could not understand it. He had clearly dragged Uchiha Yue into the Tsukuyomi space, and Uchiha Yue had clearly become a lamb awaiting slaughter. So why? Why had he suddenly broken free?

This made no sense!

"I know you. You're Uchiha Obito, right? Don't worry, your turn will come too. I'll send you to your death!"

Uchiha Yue grinned. Looking at the severed limb in his hand, he casually tossed it away like trash, then turned toward the crippled Uchiha Itachi being carried by Uchiha Obito's Shadow Clone in the distance.

Bang!

A massive roar rang out as wave after wave of air surged up like a tornado, charging toward Uchiha Itachi.

"Damn it... Wait... This guy..."

In the distance, Uchiha Obito raised his hand with a grim expression and looked at his severed wrist. The next moment, he suddenly realized what Uchiha Yue had called him. Uchiha Obito?

No, he was not Uchiha Obito. He was Uchiha Madara. No, no—how could anyone know his true identity? No, that was impossible!

In this world, aside from Uchiha Madara and Zetsu, how could anyone else possibly know his identity?

Panic appeared on Uchiha Obito's face. Then he glared at Uchiha Yue with murderous intent. If his desire to kill Uchiha Yue had not been so strong before, and he had even considered simply leaving, then now, he absolutely had to kill Uchiha Yue.

Anyone who knew his identity, anyone who could affect his great plan, had to die!

He had to create a world with Rin in it. No one could stop him.

"Caw, I'll kill you!"

Uchiha Obito immediately charged at Uchiha Yue.

Uchiha Itachi's expression hardened as he watched the giant rushing toward him. Since genjutsu did not work...

Then... he would try the other Dojutsu he had just awakened. Turn to ashes!

At that moment, Uchiha Itachi seemed to see his father and mother, whom he had personally cut down, cheering him on in the Pure Land. The clansmen he had slain were waving to him endlessly, carrying their children. This was his will. This was his power.

Clansmen, I have received your strength. For peace between the village and the clan, I will definitely destroy the Uchiha Clan completely. This was the great Will of Fire! How painful it was!

Uchiha Yue, die!

The next instant, black flames appeared on Uchiha Yue's body. Like maggots clinging to bone, they began frantically burning his flesh, Chakra, everything.

The agony of raging flames flooded Uchiha Yue's mind, making him even angrier. Yet to Uchiha Itachi's surprise, Uchiha Yue did not stop. Instead, he moved even faster. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Uchiha Itachi, blew apart Uchiha Obito's Shadow Clone, and seized Uchiha Itachi in one hand.

"Cough, cough... Stop... Cough, cough... You don't understand at all... I have to kill you. For the village, for the clan, the Uchiha Clan must be destroyed... Why... Why can't you be like my father and mother, and die for my dream?"

"This is all for the village. The situation between the Uchiha and the village has reached a critical point. I'm sorry... Please, see it from my perspective, from Lord Hokage's perspective, from the village's perspective. Please die. This is all for the village, for the clan! The power of Amaterasu is not something you can resist!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at the figure enveloped in black flames and coughed, yet he still did not give up. Instead, he tried to persuade Uchiha Yue to commit suicide for the greater good of the village. Perhaps because death was near and he had lost too much blood, or perhaps because his true feelings had spilled out, Uchiha Itachi spoke such incomprehensible nonsense.

Looking at Uchiha Yue, Uchiha Itachi thought once more of his father and mother. Why? Why could they willingly die beneath his blade for the village, for the clan, for his dream, while you, as a member of the Uchiha Clan, were unwilling?

How damnable!

If he had known, he should have cut off this guy's head back then.

Fortunately, he had already unleashed Amaterasu, and Uchiha Yue had already been possessed by Amaterasu's power. Even killing him would be meaningless now. Uchiha Yue would be burned to death by Amaterasu's flames, and everything would be over. Sasuke, after I die, live well. For the village, study the Will of Fire diligently and become a qualified ninja.

Big Brother Shisui, do you see? I have resolved the conflict between the village and the clan. I protected the village and the clan, and upheld the great Will of Fire. I did not betray your trust!

"Heh... Hehehe..."

Seeing Uchiha Itachi like this, Uchiha Yue laughed. He simply could not understand Uchiha Itachi's way of thinking. For the clan? You had already exterminated the Uchiha Clan. Was your idea of doing what was best for the clan to wipe it out? It was utterly absurd!

The next instant, the flames of Amaterasu coiling around his body were drawn into him and completely devoured.

"H-How is this possible? W-Why..."

Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Uchiha Yue's body, his face full of disbelief and incomprehension. He could not understand why. Tsukuyomi was ineffective, Amaterasu was useless—what exactly was Uchiha Yue's power?

Just then, Uchiha Itachi suddenly discovered that his strength was continuously draining away. A flash of lightning crossed his mind.

Pfft!

The next instant, having understood, Uchiha Itachi was directly crushed apart by Uchiha Yue.

Uchiha Itachi died!
