"Death!"
A deathly aura instantly enveloped Itachi.
Then, as if an invisible hand had suddenly gripped his heart.
Itachi's eyes widened, and he suddenly bent over, continuously spitting out blood.
The enemy's counterattack before death had greatly shocked him!
"No, I can't die yet! If I die, that person will definitely not let Sasuke live."
After the image of Danzō flashed in his mind, an astonishing will to survive surged within Itachi's body.
Even though his vision was darkening and the shadow of death was gradually consuming him, he was still resisting stubbornly.
Finally, it felt like an eternity had passed.
The feeling of his heart being squeezed began to disappear, and he was able to breathe again.
But the feeling of being just one step away from being taken by the Grim Reaper was still deeply imprinted in his mind. It was truly terrifying!
"What kind of power was that?"
Just as Itachi, having narrowly escaped death, was gasping for breath, about half a minute passed, and the flames gradually receded.
Then, a figure slowly emerged from the flames.
"I can't believe you actually survived. You've really surprised me."
Shinji casually tore off the tattered clothes he was wearing and the bandages tied around his head. Then, the mark on the back of his neck flashed, and the incredibly cool Evil God Cult robe appeared on his body.
He had to know that the backlash he just endured had instantly caused his throat to explode, pushing him to the brink of death. Clearly, even if he succeeded, it would be a life for a life!
It's just that he had many lives, so no matter how many he exchanged, it was worth it!
So, just as he was about to kick the bucket, he skillfully took out the [Mummy's Bandages] and wrapped them haphazardly around his forehead. Done!
All the injuries on his body were instantly healed, and then he resurrected at full health eight seconds later.
What?
Cheating?
Heh, if you don't cheat, why are you messing around in the ninja world!
The opponent was completely unharmed, and even the previous injuries had disappeared. Itachi found it hard to believe, wondering if this guy also had the Sharingan and had used Izanagi just now...
But it was clearly impossible!
Under Itachi's shocked gaze, Shinji smiled gently. "Next, I will use my full strength to defeat you. Don't blame me if you die."
"Domain Expansion: Crimson Apocalypse!"
Whoosh!
As if a curtain had suddenly covered the sky, a blood-red moon hung high above Shinji's head.
Blood-red land, a blood-red ocean, and a blood-red throne high above!
This sudden change in environment subconsciously made Itachi believe he had fallen victim to genjutsu.
However, no matter how he tried to 'dispel' or 'reflect' it, it was all ineffective.
As for Sasuke, who was also pulled into the domain, he was currently in a state of stunned disbelief.
The battle between Shinji and Itachi was too advanced for Sasuke at this moment; it was on a level he couldn't even touch.
Let alone understand, he couldn't even comprehend it!
At most, he could only infer the power from the destruction of the surrounding environment, but that was too one-sided.
Like everything before him, even Itachi couldn't understand it.
"Any last words?"
Itachi didn't speak, but he condensed Susanoo again to protect himself.
He still had a trump card he hadn't used!
But he only had one chance, and he had to close the distance...
Although the opponent's speed was very fast, with that move, he absolutely wouldn't be able to dodge!
From a high platform throne dozens of meters away, Shinji calmly stated a fact. "It's too late. If you had continued to use Susanoo, perhaps you could have turned the tables with Amaterasu. But now, your life and death are in my hands."
Itachi's heart sank. He never expected that the opponent would even know about Amaterasu.
This was simply impossible!
Because he hadn't told anyone yet.
Akagi Shinji, the Evil God...
The opponent became increasingly mysterious in Itachi's eyes.
But!
Itachi didn't surrender just like that. Even if his secret was exposed, what of it? As long as there was a one-in-ten-thousand chance, he would strive for it.
Amaterasu!!!
A line of blood tears immediately flowed from Itachi's right eye.
The terrifying black flames first ignited the ground and then rapidly spread outwards.
Since the enemy was already prepared, he might as well burn this entire place to ashes!
The surging flames, with the momentum of burning everything, ignited the giant blood-red hands supporting the platform below, and continued to burn upwards. At this rate, it was estimated that it would soon reach Shinji's feet.
But Shinji remained unmoved, as if the black flames below were merely a brazier to keep him warm.
"If these are your last words, then I shall end it all."
"Blood Manipulation Technique - Extreme Number - Blood Deception!"
Puff!
A large amount of blood was drawn from Itachi's wounds.
As Shinji had said from the beginning, the outcome was already determined. The moment Itachi was pulled into his domain, he had already fallen victim to his curse technique.
Itachi, with all his blood drained, immediately collapsed to the ground. Susanoo and Amaterasu flames all disappeared.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Itachi's last gaze happened to be in Sasuke's direction.
Shinji was still on guard, wondering if Itachi might use Izanagi. It was better to be cautious.
But at this moment, time and space froze. Then, as if a mirror had shattered, in the blink of an eye, Shinji found himself back in the original room.
Sasuke was still sleeping beside him. Perhaps he had a nightmare, as his brow was furrowed, and there were tear tracks on his face.
Shinji only glanced at him before refocusing his attention on the system prompt.

Looking at the ethereal blue eye in his hand, Shinji felt a little insecure.
Such a useful item, was it something a non-European like him deserved to possess?
There wasn't a single effect that wasn't practical!
Even the side effect made him incredibly surprised. He was already struggling to find curse spirits, so if curse spirits came knocking on his door, wouldn't he be delighted?!
