As he retreated, he did not forget to scoop up the Kubikiribōchō lying beside the road.
Meanwhile, Karatachi Yagura, who had been sinking, began to rise.
The red tailed beast chakra on his body rapidly spread outward, gradually coalescing into an enormous beast with three tails and a turtle shell on his back.
As the tailed beast chakra was released, Karatachi Yagura's signs of life grew weaker and weaker, as though he might die at any moment.
Yet even so, he still did not wake, remaining trapped in the Tsukuyomi genjutsu, unable to escape.
Ever since awakening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi's strength had increased tremendously.
Not only that, but his Tsukuyomi had also evolved-he could freely control its duration.
In other words, if he wished, he could keep an enemy trapped in the world of Tsukuyomi until they suffered a mental breakdown.
Additionally, Amaterasu had grown more powerful, burning faster while allowing him better control over the flames' shape and range.
These changes had greatly increased Uchiha Itachi's combat power.
Overall, though, they were all pretty good-more practical, too!
Finally, the last trace of Isobu's chakra completely separated from Karatachi Yagura.
"Roar!"
The moment Isobu regained his freedom, he threw back his head and roared!
He lowered his head to look at Karatachi Yagura, who lay dying on the ground.
"Shadow Grudge!"
Isobu hunched his entire body, wrapping himself in the massive, heavy shell on his back, and rolled forward rapidly like a wheel.
Using his enormous weight, he rolled back and forth over Karatachi Yagura, who had only a breath of life remaining.
Just like that, the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, was crushed into pulp by the three-tailed Isobu!
Naturally, Itachi would not let that pulp go to waste.
He swiftly gathered all the pulp he could
