The intense burning sensation made Sasuke Uchiha cry out in pain, and he collapsed to the ground.
Before long, Sasuke Uchiha showed no signs of life.
Seeing this, Kanae Kocho asked, "Lin Guang, is it over already?"
Lin Guang smiled slightly and said, "Kanae, just keep watching. What comes next will really surprise you."
Hearing Lin Guang's words, Kanae Kocho knew it was not over yet.
Inori Yuzuriha and Tamayo also continued watching the battle between the Uchiha brothers.
On the battlefield, Uchiha Itachi panted incessantly from overusing Amaterasu, watching Sasuke Uchiha, who no longer showed any signs of life.
Uchiha Itachi slowly walked over to Sasuke Uchiha. Once he reached him, he crouched down and extended his hand.
The instant Uchiha Itachi reached out, Sasuke Uchiha's body actually collapsed into a sheet of skin, then dissolved into a puddle of slime and disappeared.
What remained in its place was a long crack.
As it turned out, Sasuke Uchiha had used the Orochimaru-Style Substitution Technique when he was struck by Uchiha Itachi's Amaterasu and fell.
Amaterasu had only burned a layer of Sasuke Uchiha's skin and had not harmed Sasuke Uchiha himself.
In the underground room, a smug smile appeared on Sasuke Uchiha's face.
"I've been waiting for this moment!"
The markings of the Cursed Seal crept over Sasuke Uchiha's face again, but this time they spread directly across his entire body. His skin turned dark gray, his hair turned blue-gray and grew considerably longer, and a black, cross-shaped star pattern appeared on his face.
In this state, Sasuke Uchiha's overall strength rose another level.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi suddenly began coughing violently on the rooftop.
Overusing Amaterasu had left Uchiha Itachi's already unhealthy body even weaker.
At that moment, Sasuke Uchiha formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
