Naruto: Forced to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi in order to return home

Chapter 145 The Ideal World

Yunyin Village

"Shisui, it's been so long since I've had such a satisfying battle!"

"Especially with you!"

Itachi's words were filled with a hint of pleasure as he continuously manipulated his Perfect Susanoo to engage in a fierce battle with Shisui's Perfect Susanoo!

However, Shisui remained unmoved in the face of Itachi, who had traveled through time.

Although the opponent's aura was extremely similar to that of Itachi, whom he knew, and he had made a judgment during the fight, for the sake of that ideal world, no bond could bind him!

Even Itachi Uchiha was no exception!

"We can't operate effectively here, so let's fight in the void!"

With a low growl from Shisui, Susanoo flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

Seeing this, Itachi's lips curled into a smile, and then, the two of them instantly soared into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the void, the battle between the two intensified. Susanoo's massive fists collided, each clash accompanied by a deafening roar, as if to tear the void apart.

"Shisui, your strength is indeed not to be underestimated!"

With a loud shout, Itachi thrust the Totsuka Sword in his hand, its blade gleaming with a cold light, towards Shisui.

Shisui dodged the attack with a swift movement, and simultaneously unleashed his Spiral Spear at Itachi!

The spiral spear, accompanied by a whooshing sound, hurtled towards the weasel with astonishing speed.

Seeing this, Itachi's eyes flashed with seriousness. He quickly adjusted his body and narrowly avoided Shisui's fatal blow.

"That was close!"

Itachi was secretly shocked, but at the same time he had to admire Shisui's fighting skills and reaction speed.

The two clashed again, their Susanoo fists colliding in mid-air, creating dazzling sparks, each attack containing astonishing power.

Both Itachi and Shisui went all out and refused to back down. This battle was no longer just a contest of strength, but also a clash of wills and beliefs.

"Shisui, why are you so fixated on that ideal world?"

In the midst of the fierce battle, Itachi suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Shisui paused slightly, but then resumed his offensive.

He answered while fighting:

"You can't understand my pain and despair..."

"This world is full of war and killing. Only by realizing that ideal can everyone achieve true peace."

After hearing this, Itachi remained silent.

He knew deeply about Shisui's inner struggles and pain, and understood that the ideal Shisui pursued was not easy.

"I understand your thinking. Now that you've made your choice, all I can do is stop you!"

Itachi spoke slowly, and without further hesitation, he engaged Shisui in close combat!

Since the start of the battle, Itachi has not used Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi. It's not that he's unwilling to use them, but rather that Amaterasu is simply ineffective against the defenses of Perfect Susanoo!

As for [Tsukuyomi]?

Just kidding, that guy Shisui is the grandmaster of illusion magic. If I cast illusion magic on him, it will only be ineffective!

The battle between the two intensified once again.

They tacitly abandoned their weapons—the Totsuka Sword and the Spiral Spear—and prepared to clash head-on with their fists!

Above the void, Susanoo's fists collided repeatedly in the air, each clash seemingly shattering the void itself.

Both Itachi and Shisui fought with all their might, refusing to back down, making this battle their final showdown.

Just then, Shisui suddenly changed tactics. He no longer confronted Itachi head-on, but instead used the agility and speed of Susanoo to constantly move around Itachi, looking for an opening.

Upon seeing this, Itachi felt a surge of crisis. He understood that Shisui was looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Therefore, he quickly adjusted his tactics and engaged in a speed contest with Shisui.

The two darted through the void, their figures like ghosts.

Every confrontation was filled with tension and excitement, making people tremble with fear.

However, in this fierce battle, Itachi and Shisui gradually found a balance between themselves.

Finally, as the [power of cause and effect] surged on Shisui's back, he understood that this was a signal to retreat...

"You bear a resemblance to one of my old friends; perhaps you are his future self..."

Shisui also gave up the fight at this moment. He slowly descended from the void and also withdrew [Susanoo].

Seeing this, Itachi Uchiha, like Shisui, withdrew his Susanoo...

"How could you not guess my identity? After all, you were my mentor in my ninja career..."

Itachi's eyes were filled with reminiscence as he slowly landed beside Shisui. Although the two had just gone through a life-or-death battle, they seemed to have returned to those peaceful days of the past.

"Shisui, I may not be able to fully understand the ideal world you described, but I know that everyone has a longing for peace in their heart."

Itachi's tone carried a hint of emotion:

"However, the peace I seek may be different from yours..."

Shisui gazed at Itachi, his eyes filled with both relief and complex emotions.

"Itachi, your growth has exceeded my expectations..."

"You understand the meaning of sacrifice and responsibility better than anyone else."

"However, the path I've chosen is destined to be lonely and arduous..."

"I hope you can understand that everything I've done is for that unattainable dream."

The atmosphere between the two became heavy and subtle. They knew that despite their differing beliefs, their loyalty to their families and their love for their village were a common bond.

"Zhishui, if you truly believe that path is the right one, I am willing to respect your choice."

Itachi took a deep breath and continued:

"But please remember, no matter when or where, never harm the innocent."

Zhi Shui smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of relief.

"Itachi, those words from you are enough..."

"My love for the Uchiha clan and Konoha will never change."

As their conversation ended, the air around them seemed to lighten.

They each turned around, preparing to leave this void.

"It's time, I have to go..."

Shisui noticed a distortion in the surrounding void and slowly spoke.

He understood that this was Heaven calling him…

"Zhi Shui, take care."
