Shisui Uchiha's left eye

"Do you really think Madara Uchiha could still be alive now?" Kanami retorted.

Itachi Uchiha shook his head dejectedly.

From the very beginning, he felt that the biggest mystery Madara Uchiha was his lifespan.

I just can't understand why anyone would want to do things using Madara Uchiha's name.

Therefore, the masked man was temporarily identified as Madara Uchiha.

"Then do you know who that masked man is?" Itachi Uchiha asked.

Kanami shook his head. "It's not important. What you know about my strength is enough to make a deal with you."

"I don't need to elaborate on your health condition, do I?"

"How... how do you know everything?"

Itachi Uchiha visibly panicked for a moment.

He's been listless and sickly Tenten; anyone could see that.

"Don't worry, I usually mean what I say."

Seeing that Itachi Uchiha still had a wary expression, Kanami shook his head helplessly.

"You don't really think that by using yourself to give Sasuke the Mangekyou Mangekyo, or even the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, you can defeat the masked man, do you?"

"Knowing full well that you're a double agent for Konoha, the fact that he still dared to recruit you into Akatsuki Organization should tell you that he's confident he can handle you."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha stared at Kanami again, scrutinizing him once more.

"Are you really human?"

It's not surprising that he asked that question; Kanami simply knows too much.

Especially since they even knew his plans!

Even the masked man and Uchiha Sasuke were unaware of his plan!

He had also encountered certain Ninja who could probe into other people's memories.

But he had never heard of anyone being able to probe into another person's memories through conversation.

And he didn't feel the slightest bit that he had been probed.

"What do you care if I'm human or not? Just tell me if you're going to make a deal or not. If you don't, I'll leave you my eyes in exchange for your life."

Kanami was getting tired of talking.

You've practically revealed the color of their underwear, and you're still making assumptions.

No wonder they were capable of committing such an act as genocide.

Itachi Uchiha raised an eyebrow.

That kid is way too arrogant.

He probably doesn't know that my Susanoo possesses divine weapons like the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror.

However, after Kanami's explanation, he had a better understanding of the young man's strength.

He still wanted to believe him; otherwise, it was better than believing Naruto Uzumaki.

His previous decision regarding Naruto Uzumaki was to store Shisui Uchiha's left eye inside Naruto's body.

When Sasuke went astray, Kotoamatsukami was used to modify his will.

But right now, Kanami is clearly much stronger than Naruto.

"I'm willing to trade, but I have one condition," the orange skeleton on Itachi Uchiha's body materialized, "I want to see your strength for myself."

"A first-stage Susanoo? I was underestimated."

Kanami clasped his hands together in prayer.

"Boom--"

The earth began to tremble.

A hundred-meter-tall Wood Human rose from the ground beneath Kanami's feet!

Itachi Uchiha was still in the first stage of Susanoo, had a blank look in his eyes.

"This Wood Release... what is your relationship with Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi?"

Kanami did not answer.

He didn't know what the relationship was; what kind of relationship could there be between the two of them?

However, he simply possessed Hashirama Cells and was a perfect match for them.

However, he is not a research eccentric like Orochimaru, and it cannot be determined whether the Uzumaki Clan's special bloodline and massive Chakra made Hashirama Cells a perfect fit.

"Do we still need to consider strength?"

As he spoke, the Wood Human beneath Kanami's feet expanded once more.

100 meters one, 100 meters two... 100 meters five!

"That's enough, that's enough."

Itachi Uchiha quickly deactivated his Susanoo skeleton form.

I really can't bear the shame.

With his current Eye Power, even if he were to fully activate Susanoo without regard for his physical condition, he could only reach the third stage of Susanoo.

The upper body is covered by the Tengu Armor.

However, the third-stage Susanoo is definitely shorter than the 105-meter-tall Wood Human in front of us.

Coupled with its lack of mobility, it's a sitting Wood Human dummy with legs.

Although the Totsuka Blade has a strong sealing ability, he wasn't sure if it could seal the Wood Human Technique.

This is Ninjutsu from Madara Uchiha, a contemporary of Hashirama Senju!

Even if it can be sealed away, there's no guarantee that Kanami won't use another Wood Human Technique.

Then, Kanami slowly dispelled the Wood Human Technique and landed back on the ground.

Having ascertained Kanami's strength, Itachi Uchiha stopped hesitating and summoned a Crow from within his body.

And the Crow's left eye is Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Itachi Uchiha controlled the Crow to fly to Kanami.

Kanami grabbed him and gouged out his left eye. "I'll take it."

Seeing Kanami's calm demeanor, Itachi Uchiha felt a sense of doubt.

He possesses Shisui's right eye and knows of Kotoamatsukami's existence, yet he's not afraid I'll take the opportunity to unleash Kotoamatsukami on him?

That kind of distance is unavoidable for everyone.

Or is it that he trusts me that much?

Kanami was unaware of his inner doubts.

He didn't care mainly because his mental strength was strong enough.

Like Kotoamatsukami, Illusion Technique is difficult to use effectively against those whose Divine Power far surpasses one's own.

Kanami, who possesses the Yin-Yang Release, has long surpassed others in terms of mental strength.

He did not believe that the Kotoamatsukami could alter his will.

"They're gone."

Kanami was about to leave as soon as he finished speaking.

"Wait," Itachi Uchiha called him down, "There's one more thing. Don't tell my brother Sasuke about all this."

"Even if you want to die at his hands, I won't care; I only guarantee his survival."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng An activated his Flying Thunder God Technique instantly.

In an instant, it disappeared from the spot.

Itachi Uchiha was stunned when he heard Kanami's words.

He even knew I wanted to die in Sasuke...

Who exactly is he...?

Knowing that the masked man wasn't Madara Uchiha, and possessing the Wood Release of the God of Shinobi...

Could he be...?

Hashirama Senju!

Thinking of this, his pupils dilated.

But he quickly shook his head, feeling that his idea was too crazy.

It makes sense, though; otherwise, he really couldn't understand why Kanami knew so much and possessed the Wood Release, a rare Kekkei Genkai Shinobi World.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. These people and things are beyond my comprehension. Will there be a future battle Hashirama Senju Madara Uchiha in the Shinobi World?"

Even Itachi Uchiha himself found his thoughts inexplicable.

Kisame Hoshigaki hasn't escaped after all this time, so he's probably going to die.

But it's good to know that Sasuke is safe.

I really don't know what he was thinking, actually using Orochimaru's power when there was already such a strong Kanami in the village.

"What did my choice back then really mean...?"

"Never mind."

He shook his head, and his figure transformed into Crow and disappeared.
