The immense power forced Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo to retreat continuously.
One force can overcome ten techniques; after Sasuke used the Cursed Seal Chakra, Susanoo also became stronger.
The purple giant launched a frenzied, powerful attack, overwhelming the red giant to the point that skill could no longer compensate for the loss.
Seeing Uchiha Itachi's increasingly calm expression, Sasuke's anger grew even stronger.
He didn't have much Cursed Seal Chakra left, so he wanted to use this time to break Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo!
A crisp "snap" sounded!
A crack appeared on the red Susanoo's chest.
" Uchiha Itachi!" Sasuke's smile grew even more sinister. "I've finally waited for this day!"
Crack! A new crack appeared on the red giant's abdomen!
"I will definitely kill you! The entire Uchiha clan is waiting for you down there!"
"My foolish younger brother, cough cough." Uchiha Itachi let the blood stream from the corner of his mouth. "You can't control those eyes. Give them to me, and I will rebuild the Uchiha."
You! Have! No! Right! To! Talk! About! the! Uchiha! Die!
As the purple Susanoo's greatsword cleaved down, Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo shattered like glass!
He staggered and fell to the ground, bracing himself with his right hand while reaching for Sasuke's eyes with his left!
"You still want your eyes? You don't deserve the power of the Uchiha! I'm going to kill you with my own hands!"
Sasuke dispersed his Susanoo and landed steadily on the ground. In the middle of his right hand, a long Chakra, shimmering with lightning, instantly materialized.
As Sasuke approached Uchiha Itachi step by step, he felt his heart pounding faster and faster, and his face flushed with the burning sensation of his blood. Only one thought remained in his mind: Kill him!
Shinsei watched Sasuke walk step by step toward Uchiha Itachi, and he felt that something bad was about to happen!
Kisame's lips curled up as he watched Sasuke walk towards his brother, remaining silent.
"My foolish... brother, you actually... were... so close to me..."
The pupils of Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly contracted!
" Tsukuyomi!"
Sasuke felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he had been transported to another time and space.
All around him was black and white, and he was tied to a pillar!
This is the Tsukuyomi Space! Sasuke instantly remembered that he had been tortured in this space for a full 72 hours!
But how could I forget something so important?
Uchiha Itachi slowly emerged from behind the pillar; he was not as weak as he was outside in the Tsukuyomi Space.
"My foolish brother, you're familiar with this place, aren't you?"
" Uchiha Itachi!" Sasuke shouted angrily at Itachi, "What did you do? How could I forget your Tsukuyomi!"
"My foolish brother, you really shouldn't forget. This time, let me make that impression on you even more."
Uchiha Itachi drew a sword and plunged it into Sasuke's heart!
"Ah!!!" Sasuke screamed, then immediately shut his mouth. He absolutely couldn't show weakness in front of this person!
"Your resilience has improved, my foolish brother. Remember what I told you before? The outcome of a battle isn't determined by the power of the attacks, but by choosing the right moment."
Every time I use Ninjutsu, every movement is a hint, meant to increase your anger.
When your anger exceeds your limits, it will trigger my suggestions to you, and you will forget important information and only want to kill me!
My foolish brother, you've really let anger cloud your judgment!
Sasuke wasn't stupid; he quickly recalled that Uchiha Itachi's words and actions were always unusual, seemingly designed to provoke him!
A wave of shame and indignation washed over Sasuke. He had prepared so much, and Shinsei had kept saying that Uchiha Itachi possessed extremely high battle intelligence! Yet, he had still fallen for this man's trick!
"It seems my foolish brother has already figured it out. Since you're here, I'll make sure you leave a lasting impression!"
One by one, Uchiha Itachi emerged from behind the pillars, each holding a long sword.
Long swords plunged into Sasuke's body. Sasuke gritted his teeth; the intense pain almost made him faint, but this was the Tsukuyomi Space, so passing out was impossible.
"My foolish brother surprised me again! He didn't even call out."
Sasuke gritted his teeth, spitting out each word slowly and deliberately. "I... will... never... bow... to... you!"
"Looks like it's still not painful enough." Countless Uchiha Itachi emerged from behind the pillars. "I've heard of a punishment called Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts). Let's give my dear brother a try!"
Sasuke was surrounded by Uchiha Itachi, who used their longswords to slice pieces of flesh from Sasuke's body.
"I will never... Ah!!"
Sasuke screamed and collapsed to his knees. He looked at Uchiha Itachi with utter despair, his eyes blazing with hatred.
Uchiha Itachi lifted his long sword and dragged himself toward Sasuke step by step.
Sasuke could only watch helplessly as the man walked towards him, powerless to resist.
Shinsei was somewhat surprised. Sasuke Uchiha perfectly capable of killing Itachi, so why did he suddenly collapse?
Tsukuyomi? That's unlikely, right? Sasuke has been hit by that skill before; he'd be able to defend against it.
As he was pondering this, he saw Uchiha Itachi stumble over a pebble, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.
Ignoring everything else, he reached out his right hand and took steps toward grabbing Sasuke's eyes.
Give me... your... eyes.
Shinsei squinted. Sasuke possessed his Flying Thunder God. Although he knew Itachi wouldn't truly harm Sasuke, he still focused his attention to prevent any accidents.
Sasuke couldn't move a single finger and could only watch helplessly as Uchiha Itachi approached him, his blood-dripping fingers reaching for his eyes.
A weak finger gently tapped Sasuke's forehead, Sasuke seemed to have a hallucination, seeing Uchiha Itachi reveal a gentle smile.
The cold blood was still on his forehead as Uchiha Itachi slowly collapsed before him.
Sasuke looked at the fallen Uchiha Itachi and noticed that his chest had stopped beating.
He's dead!
Sasuke felt his mind go blank. The idea he had cherished for countless days and nights had finally come true, but he couldn't describe how he felt.
It's the excitement of success, the regret of not being able to kill them with my own hands, and also a kind of indescribable emptiness.
Shinsei walked over and looked at Uchiha Itachi on the ground.
He was still within the Storm Release: Heavenly Net, and could clearly sense Uchiha Itachi's dwindling Chakra slowly dissipating.
This person is truly dead.
Although he didn't know how Uchiha Itachi defeated Sasuke, Shinsei actually had some idea of what was going on.
His raw strength isn't particularly high, but his battle intelligence is truly exceptional. For example, just now, despite being clearly in poor physical condition, he was still able to defeat Sasuke, who had been strengthened by himself.
Sasuke collapsed to the ground, his hands outstretched, staring at the dim sky, tears streaming down his face, indistinguishable from raindrops.
