Uchiha Shin manipulated his golden Susanoo and, without another word, directly swung his great axe, chopping towards Fugaku's purple Susanoo.
Facing Uchiha Shin's attack.
Fugaku was not to be outdone, also manipulating his purple Susanoo to swing two long samurai swords, one to block the great axe, and the other to slash at Uchiha Shin's Susanoo.
BOOM—!
In an instant.
The two Susanoos were locked in a fierce battle.
Because Uchiha Shin had applied a tenfold defense buff to his golden Susanoo as he walked towards Fugaku.
Therefore, Fugaku was unable to break through the golden Susanoo's defense.
The samurai sword blocking the great axe was instantly shattered on the spot.
The great axe's momentum was unstoppable, splitting even the Susanoo itself in two!
Although Fugaku managed to avoid the falling great axe in time.
He was still forced into a rather sorry state.
"What were you just saying? That there's always someone better?" Uchiha Shin mocked coldly.
He swung another axe strike at Fugaku!
Fugaku's pupils contracted violently.
He hurriedly dodged to the side.
Barely dodging Uchiha Shin's axe strike.
BOOM—!
The great axe struck the ground.
Directly cleaving a hundred-meter-long chasm.
It continued to extend outwards.
At this moment.
The golden Susanoo's other hand.
Under Uchiha Shin's continuous infusion of chakra, rapidly formed a mace.
It whistled through the air with a powerful gust of wind.
And smashed towards Fugaku with speed and ferocity.
BANG!
This time, Fugaku failed to dodge successfully.
He was struck squarely by the mace.
Fugaku's entire face twisted and deformed in an instant.
His whole body shot out like a cannonball.
Crashing through countless houses in a row.
To eliminate evil, one must be thorough. Uchiha Shin did not choose to stop there.
He manipulated his golden Susanoo and charged towards Fugaku's location.
"Not good, Shin is going to kill Clan Head Fugaku!"
"Great Elder, let's quickly stop Shin."
"That's right! Clan Head Fugaku might have his faults, but we can't just let Shin kill him!"
Uchiha Setsuna's eyes flickered.
Compared to Uchiha Fugaku, he clearly preferred the surprising Uchiha Shin.
Not only was he decisive in killing.
His strength was immense.
Itachi and Fugaku had undoubtedly awakened their Mangekyo Sharingan earlier than him.
And yet.
Neither Itachi nor Fugaku.
Could last more than a few rounds against Uchiha Shin.
He was unbelievably fierce.
A strong personality, with both means and strength.
If the Uchiha were to be led by Uchiha Shin.
Perhaps they could change their pathetic situation.
Thus.
Uchiha Setsuna spoke in a calm voice: "None of us have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan; we can't stop them. Although Fugaku was sent flying, he is still very strong. Let's see how the situation develops first. How is Itachi?"
Itachi had also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
If he was truly dead.
Then he would leave behind a pair of Mangekyo.
Perhaps they could gain some benefit from them.
Therefore.
The Uchiha clansmen heard Uchiha Setsuna's words.
And for a moment, their gazes all shifted to Itachi.
However.
As the crowd gathered around to check on Itachi's condition.
The originally dying Itachi.
His body suddenly became transparent and illusory.
"Izanagi?" the Second Elder, leader of the Uchiha dove faction, exclaimed.
"What??"
"In that case, didn't Itachi waste a Mangekyo Sharingan!"
"What a pity..."
Before the moderate Fourth Elder could finish his sentence.
Itachi instantly appeared in front of him.
A chop of his hand.
With the speed of a thunderclap, he killed the moderate Fourth Elder.
"What??"
The crowd's expressions changed drastically.
At this sudden turn of events.
However.
At this moment.
Itachi's figure flashed again, appearing before the Third Elder of Fugaku's faction.
He once again swung his short blade!
The Third Elder, caught off guard.
Was full of openings.
Under the Mangekyo's insight.
Itachi easily found a fatal weakness that the Third Elder could not defend.
And easily killed the Third Elder.
Pfft—!
In an instant, blood splattered through the air.
"Itachi, what are you doing?"
The Second Elder roared in shock.
Itachi's strike had completely jolted the Uchiha clansmen awake.
"Can't you see? Itachi has betrayed us!"
"So, everything Shin said was true?"
"That bastard Itachi betrayed the clan and raised his blade against his own people?!"
"With things like this, can it be fake!"
"Damn you, Itachi! How dare you do such a heinous thing."
"Kill him!!"
The Uchiha clansmen all roared in shock and anger.
Itachi remained expressionless and continued to search for his next target.
"Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!"
The Mangekyo Sharingan Itachi had sacrificed to use Susanoo was his Amaterasu eye.
His Tsukuyomi eye was still intact.
At this moment, he used his Mangekyo-level Tsukuyomi Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on the Second Elder.
The Second Elder was instantly pulled into an illusion.
At the same time, Itachi himself charged in from a distance.
A chop of his hand.
He directly killed the Second Elder.
"Second Elder?!"
"Damn it!!"
Although Uchiha Setsuna disliked the dove-faction Second Elder.
And had even thought of getting rid of him many times.
But when the Second Elder was truly killed by Itachi before his eyes.
He still couldn't help but feel enraged.
A feeling of "when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" welled up in his heart.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Uchiha Setsuna quickly released a B-rank ninjutsu.
In the original story, Madara had used this jutsu with the power of an S-rank ninjutsu.
Uchiha Setsuna did not have that kind of ability.
But in an instant, he still released a wall of fire dozens of meters wide.
The flames surged mightily towards Uchiha Itachi.
The other Uchiha clan ninjas saw this.
And also joined in the siege against Uchiha Itachi.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!!"
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!!"
In an instant, countless flames engulfed Itachi.
"That bastard Itachi should be buried in this sea of fire!"
"I don't know, but he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Although he sacrificed one, we still can't underestimate him. Everyone, be careful."
Hearing this, no one dared to relax.
They watched warily as the flames consumed Uchiha Itachi.
Time ticked by.
A few seconds later, the flames completely dissipated.
The smoke and dust cleared.
A red Susanoo, enveloping an unharmed Itachi, appeared before everyone.
"He's not dead!!"
"He's alive."
"With only one eye left, he can still activate the Mangekyo's eye? Impossible!!!"
The Uchiha clansmen were utterly shocked by this scene.
They did not know.
That in the past, Shisui had also activated his Susanoo with a single Sharingan.
To escape from Danzo's ambush.
"It worked?!"
At this moment.
Itachi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before activating the Susanoo, he hadn't been very confident.
He only remembered that the past Shisui had activated Susanoo with a single eye when facing Danzo's attack.
So, he gave it a try.
He hadn't expected.
It really succeeded.
After activating the Susanoo.
Itachi's confidence surged once more.
He swept his fierce gaze over the Uchiha clansmen.
For a moment, many of the Uchiha clansmen were startled.
Uchiha Setsuna saw this and immediately shouted: "We can't deal with Itachi in his Susanoo! Go get Shin quickly!"
