The battle between Sasuke Uchiha and Uchiha Itachi has been going on for some time.
Itachi is actually very satisfied with Sasuke's growth. Except for Mangekyō, which opened a little late, Sasuke's other ninja talents have almost no weaknesses.
So much so that Itachi had a hard time dealing with it. The most important reason for this is that his health is worse than in the original plot, and the other is that Sasuke is much stronger than in the original plot.
Itachi was very conflicted. He actually had a lot to say to Sasuke. But he had talked with Aoba before, and the best outcome for Sasuke was to say nothing and then die in his hands.
This is his own punishment, but it is also Sasuke's salvation.
In fact, the original plot direction can be said to have maximized the damage to Sasuke. If Itachi Uchiha died peacefully in the hands of Sasuke, Sasuke would suffer less. After all, Sasuke's obsession is revenge.
But even this revenge cannot make Sasuke happy, it must make him struggle and suffer.
Aoba sometimes feels that the entire storyline is full of malice towards Sasuke.
Look at Naruto, no matter how miserable it was in the early stage. In the later stage, his parents came on stage to give him final help and comfort.
Friends died for him, and lovers never left him. Although life was not perfect, all the regrets were almost made up for.
But Sasuke is completely the opposite.
He spent half his life to complete his revenge. In the end, he was told that his revenge was not pure enough. Because his enemy was his biological brother, who killed his biological parents, but at the same time saved Sasuke himself.
In this way, Sasuke fell into a paradox. No matter what he did, it would leave a scar in his heart forever. It was like inserting a knife into his heart.
Itachi made an agreement with Aoba not to reveal the information of the year to Sasuke, but to die in his brother's hands and help his brother take the final step.
But for some reason, Itachi Uchiha always felt like something was wrong. His body was clearly failing. But during the battle, he managed to survive completely.
This is actually somewhat beyond expectations.
The most important thing is that if this happens, he will need to let go more obviously.
"Fire Release, Great Fireball."
Uchiha's signature Fire Release took action. But the next second, Itachi felt something was wrong.
In his calculations, although the timing of this move is good, Great Fireball is not fast, and Sasuke should have enough chance to react.
But after taking action again, he had an inexplicable feeling. That is, the speed of Great Fireball suddenly became faster.
From the gathering of chakra, to the formation of jutsu, to the flight of fireballs, everything was more than twice as fast.
In an instant, Sasuke had no time to react and was directly hit by Great Fireball.
"Sasuke!!"
Itachi was frightened, fearing that he had accidentally beaten Sasuke to death. And what surprised him the most was that he lost control at that moment.
"No, it's not that I'm out of control. It's the chakra in my body that's out of control." Itachi Uchiha, with his ninja talent, immediately sensed something was wrong.
But even he couldn't analyze the root cause. He could only vaguely notice that there was something wrong with the chakra in his body.
"Is it Genjutsu? When did you hit it?" Itachi could hardly believe that someone could cast Genjutsu on him without him knowing.
The first thing he thought of was Aoba Kamikawa, but when he thought about it carefully, it was impossible. Because the other party's plan was obviously to achieve Sasuke.
And what he did just now was to kill Sasuke.
On the other side, the shocked Sasuke lifted the surrounding Susanoo shields. At the critical moment, he used a simplified version of Susanoo to protect himself.
Under the prompts of Aoba, he specially practiced opening Susanoo. Now he is barely able to open only part of Susanoo for defense. This can minimize the consumption of Sharingan.
In fact, Susanoo's ability is not very effective in one-on-one situations.
At the combat level, this move is more useful for one-to-many and unparalleled use. The most important effect is all-round defense without blind spots.
Because once Susanoo is turned on, it is huge and its attack range is greatly increased, but it also lacks the high-speed movement characteristics of ninjas. It is basically a living target.
Facing an expert like Itachi Uchiha, this trick is actually of little significance.
Just when Sasuke was about to continue, he felt the chakra in Itachi Uchiha's body suddenly grow explosively. Then, a black flame ignited around him.
Sasuke naturally knew what it was, and turned on Susanoo without hesitation, forcibly blocking the burning of Amaterasu.
But the next second, Itachi Uchiha blood-red Mangekyō eyes appeared in front of his eyes.
"Tsukuyomi."
Sasuke also opened Mangekyō. But in an instant, he only felt that Ocular Power of Itachi Uchiha completely crushed him. Without the slightest ability to fight back, he was directly pulled into Mindscape.
On the other side, Itachi Uchiha was finally completely panicked. He didn't know what happened. This situation had never happened before in his life. Could it be that he had been hit by Kotoamatsukami?
But people who have been hit by Kotoamatsukami will not feel anything. The only thing he can be sure of is that the power behind it wants to kill Sasuke.
Sasuke, who was controlled by Tsukuyomi, could not move. At this time, Amaterasu's flames had already burned his body.
Itachi Uchiha's pupil technique combination, when unleashed at full power, is invincible to conventional ninjas.
Fortunately, Sasuke subconsciously summoned a layer of Susanoo shield at the last moment, which barely blocked the initial burning of Amaterasu.
And the next second, Minato and Kakashi finally arrived.
Among them, Minato, as the son-in-law of Uzumaki, took action immediately upon seeing this.
"Fire Sealing Method."
The violent Amaterasu fire was sealed, and the next second Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha fell to the ground at the same time.
"Sasuke." Kakashi rushed over and helped Sasuke. After checking, it was found that he had not suffered much damage.
"It's just a mental shock, but it's not serious."
The problem with Sasuke is not big, but it is different with Itachi Uchiha. Minato found out after checking it.
Itachi Uchiha Not only was his body extremely weak, he was almost hammered to death. At the same time, all the chakra in his body was also exhausted.
The most important thing is that Mangekyō Sharingan of Itachi Uchiha has been completely closed.
The last blow to Sasuke just now. Itachi's Sharingan exploded with all his strength regardless of the cost. In an instant, Sasuke was completely exhausted, and the last Ocular Power of Itachi Uchiha was completely exhausted, completely sealing his pair of Mangekyō.
"What on earth is going on? It's completely different from what Aoba planned."
Kakashi was shocked. This was the first time he saw that Aoba's plan had completely failed.
After working with Aoba for a long time, he was even used to Aoba's unfailing attack. A sudden miss was such a major miss that he found it difficult to accept it at the first time.
Soon Aoba also arrived at the scene. After listening to the descriptions of Kakashi and Minato, his face became a little solemn, but then he became slightly sarcastic.
Can't bear it?
