"Yotaha, Itachi!!!"
The furious roar that suddenly rang out from the doorway stopped Kisame just as he was about to bring Samehada down.
He turned back and was slightly surprised by the sight of Sasuke.
"Mr. Itachi, is this the one?"
Although Itachi was consumed with guilt toward Sasuke, he had had no choice back then.
He forcibly suppressed his guilt and sense of indebtedness, slowly turning to cast a contemptuous sidelong glance at the younger brother he had once treasured.
"Yes. My younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha."
"Ha, you brothers really do look alike." Kisame studied Sasuke's youthful face before smiling. "He seems to have quite a temper."
When he saw that Sasuke had only awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan, Itachi's anger and disappointment outweighed his guilt.
"Nothing but a useless ornament."
Even now, Itachi had not looked Sasuke squarely in the eye even once, as though his disappointment in Sasuke had become impossible to express.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I already tell you to cling to life like a rat?"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Sasuke stared with scarlet eyes and laughed wildly, making no attempt to hide the murderous hatred in his gaze.
"I followed your warning and scraped by in this world... The only reason I haven't died is so I can kill you with my own hands, you demon!!"
As Sasuke's venomous words fell, blinding, screeching lightning immediately flared around the tips of his right hand.
"Caw... Bzzzz..."
"I'm alive... only to kill you and avenge Mom, Dad, and the entire Uchiha Clan!!!"
Seeing Chidori gather in Sasuke's palm in an instant, Itachi's eyes filled with indescribable disappointment.
"Aah!!!"
"Itachi, die!!!"
"Chidori!!!"
With Chidori in his hand, Sasuke charged at Itachi, his face twisted in a ferocious roar.
The two-tomoe Sharingan combined with Chidori was already Sasuke's strongest move
