Sasuke's body trembled slightly, and he could not stop himself from backing away.
He was angered by his own weakness. The man before him was the enemy who had murdered his father, murdered his mother, and wiped out his clan—the enemy he would never rest until he killed!
He had to kill him.
Sasuke took a scroll from his wrist, opened it, and pulled out more than a dozen Explosive Tags.
The Explosive Tags were tied to Kunai with string. As long as he threw the Kunai, the tags would explode in a cluster.
But it was still useless.
Itachi's Susanoo could even withstand heavenly lightning. How could it fail to block a few Explosive Tags?
In truth, Susanoo's defense was not that absurd. It was not as though it could take a strike of heavenly lightning without suffering any damage.
It was simply because Itachi's Susanoo also possessed a Spirit Tool: the Yata Mirror, one of the Three Sacred Treasures.
The Totsuka Blade was responsible for offense, while the Yata Mirror was responsible for defense. It was known as the strongest defense.
With Susanoo and the divine Yata Mirror, if Itachi had not been plagued by illness, and had been a little more selfish—if he had treated Sasuke's eyes as a sacrifice to complete his Eternal Mangekyo—

"Those are my eyes... mine..."
Itachi's murmur was like a Demon's whisper, and Sasuke's face was covered in cold sweat.
He drew the Kusanagi Sword
