Thinking about the scene just now, where Yūto's single punch shattered the lower half of the Susanoo.
Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but shiver. He absolutely couldn't let Yūto attack him!
The ocular power within the Mangekyo Sharingan was outputting frantically. On the hands of the remaining upper half of the Susanoo, a large amount of Chakra began to gather.
In the blink of an eye, a huge circular shield blocked the front of the remaining upper half of the Susanoo.
Yata Mirror!
At the same time, Yūto also appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi. Without any words, he directly slammed a punch onto the Yata Mirror.
Buzz!!
Looking at the violently vibrating Yata Mirror, a look of surprise appeared on Yūto's face. It actually didn't break.
Although Yūto's attack was blocked, a portion of the aftershock still passed through the Yata Mirror, transferring to the Susanoo, causing cracks of various sizes to appear all over the Susanoo.
A trickle of blood overflowed from Uchiha Itachi's mouth, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi no longer cared about his physical injuries. While repairing the Susanoo, he used a large amount of ocular power to condense another weapon.
First Mizukage Yūto's strength was indeed terrifyingly strong, but he wasn't without weaknesses!
And the Totsuka Blade possessed the ability to counter Yūto!
This blade possessed the power to release anyone it pierced into a dream-like Genjutsu world and permanently seal them within it.
"An existence like you is too dangerous. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will seal you again!"
Blood and tears flowed continuously from Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and he would even cough up a mouthful of blood every time he finished speaking a sentence.
In such a weak state, Uchiha Itachi's voice still carried an unignorable resolve.
"Having someone like you exist is indeed a big trouble."
Yūto had a serious expression on his face, but his voice carried a hint of approval.
People like Uchiha Itachi were indeed worthy of admiration, but precisely because of this, Uchiha Itachi had to die!
"Let me see your resolve and capacity, Uchiha Itachi!"
Dozens of thick Adamantine Sealing Chains surged out from within his body, mixed with Yūto's voice, attacking towards Uchiha Itachi.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Loud booming sounds continuously came from above the Hokage Rock.
But at this moment, the entire Konoha had already fallen into battle, and there were no Ninja available to go up to the Hokage Rock to check who was fighting whom.
The booming sounds of the battle didn't last long.
In just a few minutes, the battle had essentially concluded.
Yūto was just like at the beginning, without a single speck of dust on him.
As for Uchiha Itachi, standing not far from Yūto, the black robe with red clouds he wore on the outside was already reduced to mere strips of cloth.
His whole body was as if splashed with a layer of blood, covered in gore.
At this moment, although Uchiha Itachi was still standing, he gave off a feeling of extremely unstable aura, as if the flame of life could be extinguished at any moment.
"Truly a good opponent."
Looking at Uchiha Itachi in front of him, Yūto said softly.
Uchiha Itachi's strength was indeed good. To be precise, Uchiha Itachi, using his full power, had reached a completely new realm.
But unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi's body could no longer withstand such high-intensity combat.
As a result of his full power outburst, even if Yūto didn't make a move, Uchiha Itachi's life force would dissipate on its own.
"Cough... finally... reached... the conditions to activate... the jutsu."
Uchiha Itachi coughed up a mouthful of blood, but a smile appeared on his lips.
Uchiha Itachi struggled to raise his head and look in Yūto's direction. At this moment, due to the excessive consumption of his Mangekyo Sharingan, he could barely see things in front of him, only vaguely making out Yūto's outline.
However, for Uchiha Itachi now, he didn't care.
Although Uchiha Itachi's voice was very low, Yūto could still hear him clearly.
Yūto slightly frowned, just as he was about to completely finish off Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi parted his lips and, with a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, slowly uttered four words:
"Izanami!"
Along with the activation of this jutsu, one of Uchiha Itachi's eyes quickly dimmed, completely losing its light.
And Yūto, in an instant, his entire body froze on the spot.
At this moment, Ranmaru, who was fighting Kisame Hoshigaki to a standstill, sensed Yūto's state, quickly separated from Kisame Hoshigaki, and rapidly returned to Yūto's side.
"Yūto-sama!"
Ranmaru looked at Yūto with a nervous expression.
Kisame Hoshigaki also appeared beside Uchiha Itachi. Looking at Uchiha Itachi's state at this moment, a complex expression appeared on Kisame Hoshigaki's face.
He knew that Uchiha Itachi probably wouldn't live much longer.
Uchiha Itachi spoke in a weak tone, a smile on his lips, looking in Yūto's direction:
"Izanami, as a forbidden jutsu of the Uchiha Clan, is a jutsu that can trap someone in an infinite loop. Since I cannot kill you, I will use this jutsu to change your destiny, because the only way to break this jutsu..."
As Uchiha Itachi spoke up to this point, his voice suddenly became dull, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"The only way is to see oneself clearly and acknowledge oneself, accepting the arrangement of fate, right?"
Yūto, whose body had been frozen in place, had now recovered. He looked at Uchiha Itachi and chuckled softly.
"Are you very surprised now that I could break this so-called forbidden jutsu so quickly?"
"When you were activating this jutsu, did you ever think about why Uchiha Madara back then never used this jutsu on me or Senju Hashirama?"
A cold smile appeared on Yūto's lips. Looking at Uchiha Itachi, whose smile was gradually freezing on his face, he continued:
"The so-called acknowledging oneself is nothing more than a person's will. For guys like us who have walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood from a chaotic era."
"When it comes to will, no one is more resolute than us!"
Yūto turned his head and once again looked down at Konoha below:
"Today, I will destroy Konoha. I'd like to see what countermeasures Senju Hashirama left behind back then!"
As Yūto's voice fell, Uchiha Itachi's aura sharply dropped a few points. Immediately after, as if experiencing a final surge of energy, his aura suddenly increased by a few points.
"Absolutely... absolutely, cannot let... someone like you exist in this Ninja World. You are too dangerous!"
Uchiha Itachi struggled to straighten his body. Even though he couldn't clearly see Yūto in front of him, and even though one of his eyes had lost its light.
Uchiha Itachi's eyes were still fixedly looking in Yūto's direction.
"Absolutely, absolutely must erase an existence like you!"
Uchiha Itachi repeated what he had said, his whole person seemingly falling into a trance.
