Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Itachi felt a pang in his heart. How did his foolish little brother, in his eyes, become like this?
Watching the Kusanagi Sword slash towards him, Itachi suddenly felt life had lost all meaning.
"Little brother, let me show you the strongest power of our Uchiha Clan."
"Susanoo!"
A massive skeletal upper body appeared, enveloping Itachi. This was the first stage of Susanoo, but it wasn't finished yet. As Itachi continuously poured out his pupil power and Chakra, meridians and flesh covered the skeleton.
Itachi's Susanoo was orange-red, with the Yata Mirror in its left hand and the Totsuka Blade in its right, making it excellent for both offense and defense.
He was about to look at Sasuke when he saw a complete purple Susanoo with legs, aiming a long bow at him.
The fourth stage of Susanoo, inherent to the Rinnegan, could be used directly without practice, making it incredibly convenient. The only issue was that it wouldn't upgrade with the eyes; to become stronger, one still needed to slowly comprehend it.
Itachi, who never swore, felt like cursing at this moment.
Whoosh.
A long arrow made of Chakra directly shattered Itachi's Susanoo.
This was the power of a cheat.
Sasuke walked up to Itachi, looking at the man he once loved and hated the most, his black-based, red-clouded cloak lying beside him.
With a complicated heart, he reached out his hand.
"I'll take your eyes, my foolish older brother."
Two blood-stained Mangekyo Sharingan were gouged out by Sasuke, but Itachi didn't utter a sound.
But just then, a raven, completely black, drilled out of Itachi's body. The raven's eye possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, before it could activate and meet Sasuke's gaze, a large hand directly seized its body.
"Shisui's eye, hehe, complete…"
A pair of Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan, capable of making anyone below the Six Paths level pregnant with a glare.
Feeling Shisui's eye disappear, Itachi, who hadn't reacted even when his eyes were gouged out, suddenly burst into action.
But before he could go any further, the Kusanagi Sword had already pierced his chest.
In an instant, everything seemed to quiet down. Itachi looked at Sasuke with empty eye sockets, a look of regret on his face.
"I… I'm sorry, forgive me… Sasuke."
With that, Itachi lowered his head and lost his life force. The undefeated legend finally met his Waterloo today, dying at the hands of his own younger brother.
Yang Tao patted Sasuke's shoulder with satisfaction and smiled, "Now, both your and Itachi's wishes have been fulfilled…"
Sasuke, who had already learned some truth about the clan massacre from his mother, fell silent upon hearing Yang Tao's words. His feelings were very complicated now.
His parents were alive…
And the Third Hokage, Danzo, or Itachi, could now be said to be gone. Everything had settled, yet he felt very empty.
"I know you want to revive him. In principle, I agree to you doing so, but let's forget about these Mangekyo Sharingan. Let him be an ordinary person and expand the Uchiha family tree."
"With the Uchiha's financial resources, finding ten women for Itachi shouldn't be a problem… Let him also experience the feeling of being out of his control."
Yang Tao found the thought of that scene amusing.
Upon hearing Yang Tao's words, Sasuke, who had originally intended to revive Itachi, twitched his lips slightly.
"Understood, sir…"
The battle on the other side was still ongoing, but the situation had completely reversed. Originally, Kisame Hoshigaki was chasing Naruto with Samehada, trying to cut him down.
But now, it was Naruto chasing Kisame Hoshigaki with Samehada. After tasting Naruto's Chakra, Samehada, like a gold-digger, immediately abandoned Kisame Hoshigaki.
There was no other way; Naruto's Chakra was not only abundant and satisfying, but also came in many varieties!
"Coward, if you have the guts, don't run! We can directly compete with Chakra…"
Kisame Hoshigaki saw Itachi die at the hands of his own brother and knew that this time, things were looking grim. But to die like this was simply too damn frustrating.
His weapon was gone, his Chakra couldn't compare to this strange kid behind him, and even ninjutsu thrown at him had no effect.
The water sharks he summoned couldn't bite the opponent at all. If it weren't for the kid's speed issues, he might have been pressed into the water and killed long ago.
Just then, a figure wearing a Konoha Jonin vest, radiating white light, suddenly blocked his path.
"Morning Peacock!"
The person who arrived was Might Guy, who couldn't use Eight Gates at all when the Third Hokage was trapped in the Four Violet Flames Formation the day before yesterday.
Perhaps after two days of special training, Might Guy now directly activated the Sixth Gate, Gate of View, and immediately used Morning Peacock to greet the Kage-level strongman, Kisame Hoshigaki.
Kisame Hoshigaki's hands formed a series of hand signs in a blur, and a stream of water rose out of nowhere, attempting to block Might Guy's attack.
However, the principle of Morning Peacock was to strike with high-speed punches, creating friction with the air to generate flames, and using the shockwaves and flames from striking the air to deliver continuous blows to the opponent.
The flames generated by the high-speed attacks would form a scene like a peacock fanning its tail in the air, hence the name.
The great waterfall summoned by the ninjutsu was almost instantly evaporated by the high temperature generated by the Morning Peacock attack.
Taking advantage of the situation, Might Guy broke through the waterfall's defense and appeared beside Kisame Hoshigaki, delivering a powerful, heavy kick right next to Kisame Hoshigaki.
Kisame Hoshigaki's body flew directly towards Naruto.
'Rasengan!'
Upon seeing a head delivered to him, Naruto naturally wouldn't refuse. He immediately extended his hand and summoned a Rasengan… or rather, a Great Ball Rasengan, mainly because the volume of this Rasengan was truly quite large.
Its diameter reached over a meter.
The Rasengan slammed hard into Kisame Hoshigaki's back. The powerful cutting and destructive force directly made Kisame Hoshigaki realize what true power was.
Watching Kisame Hoshigaki's health bar empty and him slowly sink into the seabed, Yang Tao suddenly thought of a question: 'By the way, is Kisame really not a Fish-Man who snuck over from One Piece?'
Three days later.
After everything had settled, Yang Tao left the Naruto World. He handed it over to Sasuke and Naruto.
And he himself arrived in the Wandering Earth world.
On desolate Mars.
The sun in the sky was much dimmer than before, but its volume had expanded several times.
The Star Extractor was still operating, constantly drawing immense energy from the sun.
"Jetfire."
An SR-71 reconnaissance plane and a camaro sports car were abruptly parked on the dark red ground.
Hearing his voice, the SR-71 reconnaissance plane and the camaro immediately underwent mechanical transformation and stood on the ground.
"You're back…"
Jetfire walked up to Yang Tao, his massive body forcing Yang Tao to look up at him.
"The Allspark has been fully charged…"
Yang Tao looked at the Allspark, glowing faintly within the Star Extractor, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Give it to me. I'll go awaken the Stellar Engine…"
He looked up at the sun, which wouldn't last much longer.
"Bumblebee, go notify Optimus Prime and tell him to come guard it. It's not fair if they don't contribute anything and just want to reap the benefits."
