Sizzle!
Itachi's left eye reverted to three tomoe.
"I placed a genjutsu called 'Truth' inside this Kotoamatsukami. Apart from overriding the control of Impure World Reincarnation, it exerts no other influence. Now that you know the truth of this world, how you act is entirely your choice!"
"I see."
Mito's expression cleared. She had completely broken free of Impure World Reincarnation's control and learned the truth.
"Itachi, go to your brother. Leave everything else on this battlefield to me!"
Amid the raging black flames, Obito was barely recognizable as human, his vitality ebbing to its lowest point.
Nagato stepped forward to deliver the final blow.
Crack!!
An indigo skeleton flared into existence, its skeletal fist swinging at Nagato!!
Nagato's pupils abruptly contracted.
Shinra Tensei!!
Bang!!
The skeletal fist was repelled, and Nagato retreated to Sasuke's side!!
Obito staggered to his feet, his face burned beyond recognition, its charred flesh hideously twisted!!
"Aaaaaaaargh...!"
He roared. Muscle and sinew coiled around Susanoo's skeletal hand, and a jet-black shuriken formed!
Kamui Shuriken!
Nagato said, "This is very bad!!"
Yasaka Magatama!
At the last possible moment, Itachi arrived to reinforce them and intercepted the Kamui Shuriken with Yasaka Magatama!
Whoosh!!
The terrifying crosscurrents of the Kamui Spiral split the battlefield!
Itachi landed in front of Nagato.
"Obito has already activated Izanagi. He's preparing for one last desperate attack!"
Nagato said, "Izanagi... did he actually sacrifice his only remaining Rinnegan?!"
Itachi looked toward the distant Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, his gaze somber. "No matter what... he couldn't possibly surrender control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. It's his last bargaining chip."
"So what he sacrificed to activate Izanagi this time... was his Kamui Mangekyo!"
Whoosh!
The Kamui Spiral subsided. Obito stood alone inside Susanoo, the light in his right eye rapidly
