Chapter 231: Go, Sarutobi!
"Take care of Sasuke."
Those were the last words Fugaku Uchiha said as a father before his death.
"I'll take care of Sasuke. Rest assured."
Itachi maintained the posture of having pierced him, gently resting his head against his father's shoulder. For a moment, it felt as though he had returned to his childhood.
That feeling lasted only a moment before Fugaku Uchiha's body gradually turned cold with the departure of his life. Itachi's eyes turned cold as well.

As long as he did not die, once that time ended, both the Chakra he had expended and the injuries he had suffered would instantly recover.
Just imagine it: you
