Chapter 253 Itachi: That's right, I've betrayed you again.

"Dog shit~"

Seeing the combined ninjutsu of water and wind styles coming towards him, Asuma immediately abandoned the masked monster that was entangled with him and began to dodge.

However, the attack speed of the ninjutsu was too fast, and Asuma simply couldn't dodge it.

Seeing that he was about to be engulfed by the combined ninjutsu, Asuma immediately shouted, "Hokage-sama, save me!"

"Whoosh~"

A golden light flashed, and just as the ninjutsu was about to strike Asuma, Minato saved him at the perfect moment.

"Asuma, are you alright?"

"Phew, that really scared me to death. I was almost killed. Thank you so much, Fourth Hokage."

"It's alright. The reason I left the Flying Thunder God mark on all of you was precisely to deal with this kind of situation, wasn't it?"

"Thank you again, Fourth Hokage. But could you please put me down first?"

Upon hearing Asuma's reminder, Minato snapped out of his daze and put down Asuma, whom he had just been carrying in his arms.

"Sorry, Asuma, it's a habit."

"It's okay."

After putting Asuma down, Minato immediately ran off to deal with Kakuzu's main body.

However, Kakuzu's body is now surrounded by a large number of black lines.

It seems unlikely that using the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with Rasengan for a sneak attack will work.

"This is such a hassle."

Seeing this situation, Minato also felt that he was in a difficult position.

For assassin-type ninjas like Minato, there are two types of opponents he is least adept at dealing with.

The first type is like the Third Raikage, A, whose physical body is invincible.

In the original story, the Third Raikage, who was resurrected by Orochimaru using Edo Tensei, had such a powerful physical body that even Naruto's Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken couldn't destroy him.

If Minato were to face the Third Raikage, his choice would most likely be the same as Naruto's: when the Third Raikage uses the One-Hit Punch, he would use the Rasengan to attack the Raikage's elbow, forcing the Raikage to hit himself, thus breaking through the body with its "strongest shield."

The second type is probably like Kakuzu, whose entire body is surrounded by black lines from every angle, making it impossible to find a place to kill him with a single blow.

"Should we use that?"

After observing Asuma and Kakashi's predicament, Minato considered whether to use the Nine-Tails' power and the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku.

Whether using the Nine-Tails' chakra or Sage Mode, it greatly enhances Minato's strength.

Needless to say, Tailed Beast Mode only requires one Tailed Beast Ball to send Kakuzu to heaven.

In Sage Mode, Minato can also use Sage Chakra to enhance the Rasengan.

Regardless of the method, Minato is confident that he can take down Kakuzu in a short time.

However, Minato still had some concerns.

The Nine-Tails' attitude towards him wasn't very good. Forcibly using the tailed beast's power like Kushina would probably bring their relationship to a freezing point.

Kind-hearted by nature, he didn't really want to force Yin Jiuwei.

As for Sage Mode, Minato wasn't actually good at using it. It took him too long to gather Sage Chakra, and he couldn't be disturbed during that time, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted.

While Kakuzu was frantically attacking Kakashi and Asuma, Minato didn't want to waste time gathering Sage Chakra.

What if Kakashi or Asuma encounters danger during this time?

Therefore, Minato is currently in a dilemma.

"Minato, it seems you're in a little trouble here."

Fortunately, the situation didn't cause Minato much distress.

When Fugaku Uchiha led Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha to him, he knew that the battle was about to end.

"Yes, enemies like Kakuzu are somewhat effective against me."

"Is that so? It seems this guy named Kakuzu does have some skill, enough to make even you, Yellow Flash, feel troubled."

It's clear that Fugaku was very happy and pleased to have persuaded Itachi to come back.

It would be best if I could avoid fighting with my own son.

Moreover, at this point, he was most likely no match for Itachi.

Because his Mangekyou Sharingan was destroyed by Itachi after he committed suicide.

After his resurrection, he had only recently awakened his Sharingan, and only possessed a mere one tomoe.

Before taking action, he even went to Orochimaru to get a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe and fitted them to himself.

It was installed specifically in case there was a possibility of fighting Itachi.

Although the cloned Sharingan is inferior to the original in every way, a three-tomoe Sharingan is still a three-tomoe Sharingan, and it is better than a one-tomoe Sharingan no matter what.

Itachi's Sharingan is at the Mangekyou level, so if a real fight broke out, Fugaku and Sasuke would definitely have a very tough time.

Fugaku is alright; he can use his combat experience to stall and look for opportunities.

Sasuke, on the other hand, couldn't do it.

He is not the same person who was trained by Orochimaru for three years in the original story.

Even at that time, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Itachi if Itachi hadn't held back.

So, it's really great that I don't have to fight with my own son.

"Itachi, can you take him down?"

Upon hearing Fugaku's words, Itachi calmly nodded and replied, "No problem, Father."

"Then let's go."

"Yes."

Under Fugaku's orders, Itachi began his attack on Kakuzu.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Kakuzu sensed something was wrong when he saw Itachi and Fugaku standing together.

They immediately unleashed a series of ninjutsu attacks, intending to kill Kakashi or Asuma in this way and escape.

Unfortunately, both Kakashi and Asuma were extremely wary of Kakuzu.

When faced with Kakuzu's explosive barrage of ninjutsu, the two either dodged or used ninjutsu to defend themselves.

Although he was in a sorry state, he managed to save his life.

"Uchiha Itachi, I knew you couldn't be trusted."

"You wait, once I escape, I'm going to tell the chief."

"You traitor, you double-dealer, you frigid man, you man with kidney deficiency!"

Seeing that Kakuzu's words were getting more and more outrageous, Itachi didn't say anything more, just glared and used Tsukuyomi.

"Welcome to my world, where everything—time, place, quality, and so on—is under my control."

"I hope you enjoy the next 72 hours."

In the illusionary space of Tsukuyomi, Kakuzu, just like Kakashi in the original work, was bound and fixed to a cross.

"you"

Before Kakuzu could say anything, Itachi began the execution.

Suddenly, Itachi pulled out a sword over a meter long from somewhere and slowly stabbed it into Kakuzu's abdomen.

"Ah~~"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"Damn itchi Uchiha Itachi, I will never let you get away with this!"

Amidst Kakuzu's agonizing cries, Itachi continued to stab him repeatedly into his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Kakuzu, who was already drenched in sweat from the ordeal, subconsciously asked, "How much time has passed?"

"Yes, one second has just passed. There are 71 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds left."

"Impossible! I've been stabbed so many times, how can only a second have passed? I don't believe it!"

"Why don't you look up and look around?"

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu looked around angrily.

"What?"

Around Kakuzu, countless figures of him and Itachi appeared.

"I told you, I'm in control of everything here."

"You don't actually think one slash takes a second, do you?"

"The truth is, only one second will have passed after each of you here has been stabbed."

After saying that, Itachi ignored Kakuzu, who was still in shock, and stabbed him again.

"Ah~~~~"

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Minato could instantly enter Kurama Mode and Sage Mode.

As I understand it, the Nine-Tails cooperated this way because of the existence of the Ten-Tails, a major threat.

There's also Sage Mode. Minato himself said he wasn't good at Sage Techniques, but I suspect it's because of the Impure World Body, which gives him unlimited chakra and immortality, allowing him to instantly enter Sage Mode.
