The five figures atop the Wood Man gaze at each other from a distance, surrounded by various colored lights; the colors of the composite Gundam are layered and gradient.
Just as the Totsuka Blade severed one snake head and plunged into the mouth of the last white snake head, Orochimaru let out a painful roar.
"Could this sword be the Totsuka Blade?"
" Itachi, so you've been hiding it all along."
With a "boom," the large red shield shattered into pieces, effectively blocking the following attacks.
"No"
The last snake head, which housed Orochimaru's soul, was absorbed into the gourd after being pierced by the Totsuka Blade.
The soul was absorbed along with the body of the White Phosphorus Great Snake, and the purple light emanating from the Wood Man quickly dissipated, its wings disappearing rapidly.
The Totsuka Blade is Kusanagi Sword with sealing techniques; those pierced by it will be permanently sealed in a dreamlike Genjutsu world.
Susanoo the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror; truly worthy of being Kishimoto's favorite son, and in the end, it was also his favorite son who withstood the test and won.
Without Itachi, Li Yu might not Susanoo in a power clash with Orochimaru, as Orochimaru was also a formidable opponent.
"What a pity! It's a plot device. Even with Sasuke and the Rinnegan, he couldn't escape it!"
Just as Orochimaru was being rapidly removed from Sasuke's body, a small snake suddenly slithered out from the side.
" Sasuke, it's over."
Yamato if sensing physical pain, Yamato 'Wood Man and Susanoo quickly vanished, and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
The little snake darted away, trying to escape, when a special three-pronged Kunai stuck in front of it.
"Swish"
Namikaze Minato suddenly blocked his path, and Li Yu arrived shortly after.
" Nawaki, how to solve it?"
"Burn him to death!"
Li Yu lifted it up with one leg, sending it hurtling towards the weasel.
" Amaterasu "
Itachi was very decisive; he simply glared at her and that was it.
"That's it?"
Sasuke was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, got up, and quickly ran away into the distance.
Uchiha Itachi, his eyes bloodshot and panting heavily, still gave chase despite the situation.
" Sasuke, he's escaped!"
"It's alright, we can Itachi."
"Let's deal with that guy on the ground first. He's so dangerous; we can't let him get away too."
Namikaze Minato and Li Yu rushed to the gate twice; one bound them with chains, the other quickly Hand Seals.
" Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Seal "
Namikaze Minato unleashed a burst of Nine-Tails Chakra, his eyes flashing with a cross, and placed one hand on Yamato's abdomen.
"Seal up"
Yamato's Chakra was thus sealed.
"Done"
"Good"
"Let's go, Nawaki, let's go check on Sasuke and Itachi, and bring them back to Konoha with us."
The two exchanged a glance, Namikaze Minato deactivated his Sage Fox Mode, hoisted Yamato onto his Yamato, and ran off.
"Wait for me, Minato!"
At this moment, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, and lightning gathered in the cloud layer, resembling a thunder dragon.
The lightning seemed to be guided, falling towards the ground.
"The S-rank Ninjutsu Kirin?"
Namikaze Minato and Li Yu stopped and looked up at the sky.
"Are they fighting again? This is so worrying. Nawaki, hurry up and get going!"
"They're here, they're here!"
The two continued towards the battle site.
After the lightning, there were multiple explosions, accompanied by muffled groans and screams.
Then they saw Uchiha Itachi, in Susanoo, blood dripping from his mouth and eyes, his right finger pointing at Sasuke's forehead, slowly approaching Sasuke.
It seemed like he said something to Sasuke, then suddenly slammed his head against the wall and collapsed, his Susanoo slowly disappearing.
" Itachi, and he's down?"
"Quick"
Sasuke sat down against the wall, stunned, and passed out.
" Itachi, he's not going to die like this, is he?"
A light rain began to fall, accompanied by continuous thunder.
Just then, a spatial distortion occurred, and a figure wearing an orange-yellow mask and Akatsuki cloak appeared.
"Oh no, Akatsuki."
Obito grabbed Sasuke with one hand and reached for Uchiha Itachi, who seemed lifeless, with the other.
Li Yu's Rinnegan, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and his right eye activated Dōjutsu.
" Void Transfer "
Uchiha Itachi's body sank downwards and fell into a black spatial vortex, as if falling into a cave, leaving Obito's outstretched hand empty.
Li Yu then pulled Itachi's body out of the spatial vortex from the side and carried him on his shoulder.
"Thank goodness, he's not quite dead yet," Li Yu thought with secret joy.
By activating the Yang Power of Yin-Yang Release Technique with one hand, even the Eight Inner Gates can save someone with just a breath left, let alone Itachi.
He remained outwardly calm and said...
"Alas, Itachi is already dead," he said, shaking his head with a vivid expression of sorrow, forcing out a few tears from his eyes.
To truly move an actor, one must perform the entire role, delivering a heartfelt and tearful performance.
Namikaze Minato seemed to be affected by Li Yu's words, and he also lowered his head and sighed.
This faint, lingering sound reflected the tragic fate of the two brothers.
"Oh dear, oh dear, Uchiha Itachi's body has been stolen. What a pity."
After a spatial distortion, all that remained was devastation and ruins.
"Fourth Namikaze Minato and Senju Nawaki, you guys are ruthless!" He uttered this threat and then slipped away.
Namikaze Minato wanted to give chase, but Li Yu stopped him.
"It's inconvenient to bring two people along, and besides, Naruto and the others should be arriving soon."
"Well"
" Sasuke, he'll be alright."
Namikaze Minato leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Itachi, he's still alive, isn't he? You were quite the actor just now."
" Minato, you're not bad either!" Li Yu replied in a low voice.
"I understand what you mean by doing this. Take the person back secretly!"
" Minato, you know me best. I'm taking him with me now; you stay and explain yourself."
" Nawaki, you..."
Seeing Li Yu carrying the two people, he took a step back and disappeared into the spatial vortex.
"Ugh, Naruto's going to drive me crazy again, so annoying!"
Namikaze Shuiyue stood there thinking of a story, preparing to make one up to fool Naruto for now.
Kakashi led Team 8, followed by Team 7, but Namikaze Minato was missing from the group.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before they found Namikaze Minato waiting there.
Naruto, of course, went up to ask, "Where 'Sasuke? Itachi? How's the battle going? Where's Uncle Nawaki?"
"Just say it!" Naruto's little wife was getting impatient.
Namikaze Minato had no choice but to give a brief account of what happened along the way, omitting as much as possible, and finally Sasuke was taken away by the masked man from Akatsuki.
Orochimaru was completely defeated by Itachi, who died. Itachi's body was taken back to Konoha by Senju Nawaki.
As for how Itachi contacted Li Yu, how Li Yu got here, and the details of the battle, these have all been kept secret.
Li Yu found a place to treat Itachi's injuries and then sat down to recover his strength and Chakra.
Orochimaru's Yamato were empty. What did it mean that Chakra's chakra was sealed? Orochimaru's death left him without purpose or direction, lost and confused about the future.
To put it bluntly, it's like using a blockhead to contemplate life, failing to reach a conclusion for a long time, causing the CPU to run out and freeze, resulting in dull eyes and a lack of bodily response.
