"Was that it?"
Sasuke looked toward the explosion with his still-blurry eyes.
He had a feeling that man, Uchiha Itachi, would never die so easily!
Boom!
A powerful gust swept over them, instantly dispersing the smoke from the explosion. An enormous orange upper-body giant towered over the ground.

Now that he has both eyes back, teaching you Susanoo wouldn't be difficult.
In that case..."
Itachi looked toward Sasuke. By now, he could no longer make out Sasuke's appearance. All he could see was the
