Waves exploded beneath the ninja's feet.
Kakashi Hatake, followed closely by Uchiha Itachi.
Further behind were elite ninja from the Hyuga, Aburame, and Akimichi clans, as well as a dense mass of nearly a hundred Konoha Ninja.
Like a wave of death, it surged towards the receding ship.
"Faster!"
Uchiha Inabi clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, and couldn't help but urge him on.
The Swift Release Puppet shook its head and said, "It's too late, prepare for battle!"
The ship was already 300 meters from the shore, but the pursuers were moving much faster, with Kakashi at the front less than 50 meters from the stern.
On the ship.
Five Jonin Mitsudomoe and ten Special Jōnin dropped their Forehead Protector and assumed fighting stances.
I'd be willing to die just to protect the future of the Uchiha.
"Lord Inabi..."
A girl, trembling, clutched Uchiha Inabi's clothes and sobbed, "Will we die?"
Uchiha Inabi's throat tightened, but she forced a smile and said, "No! Don't cry, the Uchiha don't believe in tears."
"I see!"
The girl nodded heavily, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and a scarlet Tomoe appeared as her small hand brushed across the corner of her eye.
Uchiha Inabi smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at the approaching pursuers.
Uchiha Itachi with the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja, a Gentle Fist master from the Hyuga Clan Aburame Clan...
On their side, with so few people, it seemed like they had no chance of survival.
At this moment, the Swift Release puppet had already rushed off the ship and was charging towards Kakashi Hatake and the elite ninja.
The golden light screen of the Spirit Control Beads, the speed of Swift Release, and the dynamic vision of the Sharingan.
The three worked together to unleash a bloody storm upon the crowd, with screams echoing everywhere.
Every few seconds, a ninja corpse would be thrown onto the deck.
Kakashi Hatake barely managed to keep up with the speed of the Swift Release puppet using only his Lightning Blade, and was powerless to stop the slaughter.
"The rest of you, Izumi, lead the team to hold them off."
Uchiha Inabi also removed her Forehead Protector and tossed it aside, instructing, "As for Uchiha Itachi, leave him to..."
"No."
At that moment, a clear, cold female voice interrupted him.
Uchiha Izumi stepped forward slowly and said in a deep voice, "I'll deal with Uchiha Itachi."
"Spring?"
Without much thought, Uchiha Inabi refused outright, saying, "No, you're a genius of the Uchiha, you can't die here, and besides, Itachi is..."
"I know."
Uchiha Izumi stated firmly, "But my eyes... feel different."
As he spoke, tears of blood streamed down his cheeks.
The three Tomoe trembled violently, showing a faint tendency to merge into one, but they were always one step short.
The waves surged, and the stench of blood filled the air.
Uchiha Inabi was deeply shocked as she looked at the Sharingan in Izumi's eyes, which was about to undergo a transformation.
Unexpectedly, among the remaining clansmen, it was Quan who was the first to touch the threshold of the Mangekyō Sharingan in the face of dire straits.
But there's no time to hesitate now.
"Good."
Uchiha Inabi gritted her teeth, nodded, and suddenly turned around, rushing towards the stern of the ship.
" Uchiha Itachi is yours. The rest of you... stick with me and hold off those ninja squads."
Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed out like lightning, leaping off the ship with the Jonin and Special Jōnin beside him.
at the same time.
Uchiha Itachi also approached the ship, his cold gaze sweeping over the remaining Uchiha clan members on board.
"Itachi..."
Uchiha Izumi stood in front of him, the Mitsudomoe in her eyes spinning wildly.
"Why?!"
Her voice trembled, a mixture of anger and pain, "Why did you have to go this far? Couldn't you have spared the Uchiha's lives?"
Upon hearing the question from the girl he liked, Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"This is... a necessary sacrifice."
"Nonsense!"
Uchiha Izumi roared, the Tomoe in his eyes twisted violently, blood vessels spread, and his ocular power surged wildly!
" Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Claw Crimson!"
A blazing fireball, mixed with Shuriken, hurtled towards them.
Uchiha Itachi simply turned slightly to the side, black flames surging from his eyes, engulfing all the remaining flames.
"It's useless."
He Body Flicker Technique appeared before Izumi, his Kunai piercing her heart. "The difference between the Mitsudomoe and the Mangekyō Sharingan is like an insurmountable chasm."
Uchiha Izumi tried her best to dodge, and only managed to move half a body length.
Pfft--
The Kunai pierced through his shoulder, causing a large spray of blood.
Uchiha Izumi staggered backward, but her Sharingan continued to spin wildly, the three Tomoe almost completely connecting.
"Why..."
Coughing up blood, she continued to question, "Why did you personally destroy your family...?"
Uchiha Itachi raised his Kunai once more, "For the peace of Konoha."
Just as the final, fatal blow was about to land.
boom--
Crimson Chakra suddenly erupted from Izumi's body, Mitsudomoe finally connected to form a brand new pattern!
Mangekyō Sharingan - Open Your Eyes!
"This is..." Uchiha Itachi showed a look of shock for the first time.
How could that be!
Quan is only thirteen years old and has never experienced my pain, so how could he possibly unlock the Mangekyō Sharingan?
Susanoo!
Blood gushed from Uchiha Izumi's eyes, but her voice remained perfectly clear.
A crimson Chakra skeleton suddenly took shape, and a skeletal arm swept across, forcing Uchiha Itachi back several steps.
The waves crashed beneath Susanoo's feet, creating a misty spray.
"Itachi..." Izumi's voice became incredibly resolute at this moment, "You... you truly deserve to die!"
A flicker of pain crossed Uchiha Itachi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.
Susanoo!
The Susanoo took shape, with dark red Chakra flowing like blood, and flesh covering its bones.
Holding Totsuka Blade in his right hand and Yata Mirror in his left, he resembled a demon crawling out of hell.
Two crimson giants faced off on the sea, their Chakra fluctuations creating towering waves.
Although both are red.
However, Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo as bright and dazzling as the rising sun, while Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo was as dark and oppressive as congealed blood.
"Izumi... you can't win."
Uchiha Itachi's voice came from the dark Susanoo.
The absolute defense of the Yata Mirror and the eternal seal of the Totsuka Blade are enough to suppress most powerful individuals.
A mere newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan like him is no match for him.
I don't believe it!
Amidst the piercing screams, a searing pain tore at the eyes, and blood and tears left two glaring red streaks on the cheeks.
Susanoo began to change.
Crimson Chakra writhed like a living thing, weaving a dense Chakra Cloak on the surface of the skull, with faintly visible pulsating blood vessel-like patterns.
boom--
The collision of the two crimson giants caused the entire sea to boil.
Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo launched the first attack, its six-fingered bone palm tearing through the air and striking the dark red Susanoo with a piercing shriek.
Uchiha Itachi calmly set up the Yata Mirror, and the perfectly defensive mirror surface rippled, reflecting all the violent impact.
Suddenly, the crimson skeleton twisted with unnatural flexibility, and its right leg cleaved down like a battle axe.
This attack was so precise and cunning that it bypassed the Yata Mirror's defensive range and slammed heavily into the dark red Susanoo's Chakra Cloak.
Chakra fragments sprayed out like blood, igniting a sea of fire on the surface of the sea.
