Watching the two identical Susanoo fade away on the wind, everyone on the battlefield gaped in shock.
"What's going on?!"
"Was that just now Itachi Uchiha?"
"How can there be two Itachi Uchihas?!"
The ninjas looked at one another in confusion.
It was no wonder they were surprised. The fake 'Itachi Uchiha' had displayed ninjutsu, Taijutsu, genjutsu, and dojutsu that were all top-tier in the Shinobi World. Even though they had vaguely sensed something was wrong with his identity, they hadn't dared conclude he was an impostor.
It was only after another Itachi Uchiha appeared—especially when he displayed the same Susanoo and the same legendary weapon, the Totsuka Blade—that everyone realized one of them had to be a fake.
But that raised the question: how could a fake be so convincing?!
Ōnoki looked at Tsunade. "What's going on? Which one is the real one?"
The confusion in Tsunade's eyes was no less than anyone else's. She shook her head. "I—I can't tell either!"
Jiraiya murmured, "The one who just appeared can use Susanoo too. Its color and form are exactly the same, and he even has the Totsuka Blade. This is bizarre!"
Ninjas were naturally skilled at disguises and infiltration, which was why they had developed all sorts of Transformation Techniques. But no Transformation Technique could provide a perfect disguise. What's more, the question of which Itachi Uchiha was real involved the Mangekyō Sharingan's dojutsu, something that couldn't be faked.

Ōnoki suddenly said, "Wait. Wasn't the jutsu Itachi Uchiha just used the same Space-Time Ninjutsu wielded by the masked man from the Akatsuki Organization?"
Tsunade nodded. "Yes, that was the one!"
Ōnoki frowned. "Which one is real?"
