He casually tossed aside Shisui, whom he had grown tired of playing with, as if discarding a worn-out toy, and began to carefully examine Uchiha Itachi's round head.
Although Amaterasu has never burned anyone to death, it can be quite effective if used properly.
Although in the Naruto world, most Jinchuriki can become immune by donning a Tailed Beast cloak or shedding their skin like Orochimaru, and even sealing techniques can directly seal and collect Amaterasu's flames, so what? It doesn't matter!
If such underhanded tactics were applied to other worlds, they might very well shine and achieve a surprising, first-meeting kill effect.
After all, Sasuke's future stage will not be limited to the ninja world; he also has the Kamui dimension as his trump card.
We could completely emulate Kaguya's mysterious and unpredictable space, meticulously crafting an Amaterasu Space that is flawless and filled with Amaterasu's flames.
Imagine an enemy being thrown into this space, surrounded by raging black flames, with nowhere to escape, only to be burned alive in endless agony. The thought of this method is chilling.
Let's talk about another of Itachi Uchiha's eye techniques—Tsukuyomi, which is the prototype of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu of world destruction that someone with the Rinne Sharingan can use.
Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu activated by the Mangekyou Sharingan, can forcibly pull the enemy's mind into the genjutsu space.
In this Tsukuyomi world, everything is firmly controlled by the caster—time, place, quality, and so on. Enemies are like puppets on strings, completely at the caster's mercy, enduring immense physical and mental suffering.
However, it seems that Tsukuyomi's potential was not fully developed in Itachi's hands. It was merely used as an interrogation skill or a private chat room for exchanging information, which was a waste of its potential.
It shouldn't be so low-key. Not to mention it could create some terrifying things that drive people crazy and cause them to lose sanity like the Cthulhu mythos, if used well, it might just drive people insane.
Even if it's just a simple and brutal way of locking someone in a dark room, few of the most determined soldiers in the army can withstand the torment of that dark room, let alone ordinary people.
In Hiruko's eyes, Itachi's actions of stabbing Kakashi for three days and three nights were simply child's play and extremely foolish.
According to Hiruko, pain also has a novelty factor. The human body has a self-protection mechanism; if a person endures the same level of pain for a long time, they will quickly become numb.
It's far better to inflict constantly changing pain, such as starting with a slight sting to lower the enemy's guard, then letting them experience the excruciating pain of childbirth, and then quickly switching back and forth, in short, various back-and-forth movements, so that the enemy can never guess what they will encounter next.
Or, give the enemy a seven-day perpetual cycle of capital cities.
Tsukuyomi is essentially a manifestation of the Brain in a Vat, capable of precisely understanding the enemy's senses regarding factors such as space, time, and mass.
It directly forces the enemy to repeat the painful experience endlessly in an endless cycle, without seeing any hope, until they completely collapse and despair.
If you're good at handling things, you can even write scripts that are even more frustrating than "Life's Long Regrets Flow Eastward Like Water".
Make the enemy constantly experience those painful and torturous lives, or create some unconventional scenarios such as being cuckolded or falling into depravity, so that the enemy suffers endless mental torment.
Shisui looked at Hiruko, a silver-haired, red-eyed man with a greedy expression, in the crowd. His eyes were filled with apprehension. He knew how dangerous this man was, so he tried to persuade Sasuke to prioritize the bigger picture.
Shisui had absolute faith in Itachi. In his opinion, if Itachi hadn't let Hai go, Sasuke might not have gotten the better of him.
In the official novel, on the night Itachi massacred the Uchiha clan, he forcibly used Tsukuyomi to allow his girlfriend, Izumi Uchiha, to live a happy and peaceful life in a genjutsu world. Although the backlash might have been quite severe, it allowed Izumi to pass away peacefully.
In the TV series, Uchiha Izumi was killed directly by Obito. Hiruko didn't know how Uchiha Izumi died in this world, nor did he care.
In any case, this shows that it is entirely feasible to arrange and write life scripts for people within the illusion space of Tsukuyomi.
Furthermore, by analyzing the principles and developing the Tsukuyomi ability in reverse, it is entirely possible to use illusion magic to strip and seal the enemy's five senses, just like the Virgo Gold Saint.
For example, the First Hokage used the genjutsu Dark Travel Technique, which shows that interfering with the senses with chakra is entirely feasible.
Therefore, in Hiruko's view, Tsukuyomi is a seriously underestimated eye technique.
However, Itachi Uchiha, the user of the Mangekyou Sharingan, was unable to develop it further due to the limitations of his own eyes. He lacked the resources to continuously explore and experiment, as excessive use would lead to blindness.
But Hiruko is different. He can fully develop and utilize this skill to its fullest potential. After he finishes studying the Divine Tree, he can even try to transform himself into a small Divine Tree.
Then, by activating the power of Tsukuyomi, a forbidden zone for life is artificially created, allowing the chakra fruit to condense and unleash the effect of Infinite Tsukuyomi, which ignores obstacles.
Besides Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Itachi Uchiha also possessed two other spiritual weapons, the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror, which made Hiruko extremely covetous.
The Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror are both intangible spiritual weapons created by Itachi Uchiha when he activated Susanoo, formed from his immense chakra.
They are not special physical objects meticulously crafted by humans, but rather the materialized manifestation of a special power hidden within the Uchiha bloodline, belonging to the unique category of bloodline limits.
In ancient times, some members of the Uchiha clan awakened such miraculous abilities, which were essentially the product of highly concentrated and specially utilized chakra.
Therefore, Hiruko, who possesses the ability to copy with three tomoe, could theoretically also copy it.
Unlike the bow and arrow that come with Sasuke's Susanoo, Sasuke's bow and arrow, apart from reflecting the mythological prototype of the character, do not have many special functions.
However, both the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror possess extremely powerful and unique special abilities.
The Totsuka Sword flew out from the gourd carried on Susanoo's back, and the sake flowing from the gourd instantly transformed into the shape of a sword.
This sword is incredibly powerful. Once it strikes its target, it can release the person into a dreamlike illusionary world, and even has the terrifying power to seal them inside forever.
It is a type of Kusanagi sword from the legends of the ninja world, and the blade itself contains sealing techniques.
This is an extremely rare and terrifying ability in the ninja world, capable of sealing the spirit and even the soul together. It has extraordinary effects on certain immortals and special chakra life forms.
Looking at the Yata no Kagami again, it possesses all kinds of properties and changes, like a flexible and ever-changing guardian.
When facing an enemy attack, it can change its own attributes according to the attack's attributes, thus nullifying the enemy's attack.
This means that before the ninja world entered a stage of power imbalance and god-like battles, Itachi Uchiha already possessed defensive power almost equivalent to Truth-Seeking Balls. Of course, this is just a low-end version from the Japanese version.
Even with an attack at the level of Bloodline Limit, Itachi might still find it difficult to defend against, but it's already abnormal enough.
Moreover, the Yata Mirror can completely defend against the most commonly used explosive tags in the ninja world.
After all, explosive tags are ultimately detonated using chakra techniques. Therefore, the 600 billion explosive tags tactic meticulously planned by the wealthy Konan, as well as the various tactics designed by the cunning Tobirama around explosive tags, will be perfectly countered by Itachi's Yata Mirror.
The combination of the Totsuka Sword and the Yata Mirror is absolutely monstrous.
So even though Itachi Uchiha has passed away, the ninja world has been updated several times, and the combat power system has collapsed, he can still shine brightly and show off his skills in the battlefield of the great battle of gods after being resurrected by Edo Tensei.
In fact, if Itachi hadn't been released from the Edo Tensei so early, preventing him from running into Madara, he might have been able to hold his own against the Edo Tensei Madara.
If Madara had approached the situation with a playful attitude, deliberately refusing to dodge attacks like he did when fighting the Five Kage, just to show off the Hashirama cells in his chest, he might have been caught off guard by the Totsuka Blade, potentially bringing the ninja world story to an early end.
Even so, Kishimoto could still patch it up, creating a one-time power-up for Izanami, completely shattering the dreams of the ambitious Orochi Kabuto who rose from humble beginnings, turning him into a lazy bum and forcibly returning him to his original state.
Minato Namikaze and Itachi Uchiha, truly worthy of being Kishimoto's favorite sons, are both incredibly monstrous.
However, the more outrageous the ability, the more exciting it is! Your ability is indeed beyond imagination, but in the next second, it will belong to me, the ultimate being!
"Of course, I won't let Itachi off easily. I've said it before, don't think that death can end all this. I will make sure that even after death he will not find peace and will continue to be a pawn on my revenge chessboard!"
Sasuke held his head high, his eyes filled with determination and madness. He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking as he exerted force, as if venting the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
"Alright then." Hiruko's lips curled into a sly smile. He quickly absorbed a portion of Itachi Uchiha's eye power and, relying on his unique copying ability, swiftly replicated Itachi's eye technique.
Then, he took out a miniature scroll from his pocket, flicked his wrist, and tossed it to the ground.
"Bang!" As a cloud of smoke rose and dissipated, the body of Uchiha Itachi, whose body was covered with strange curse marks and whose eyes were covered with purplish-black eyeshadow, lay quietly on the ground.
This body is no ordinary thing. Not only is there a binding spell on its heart, but many organs throughout its body, as well as the dense tattoos of spell marks on its surface, can all be precisely controlled by a person, just like a carefully manipulated puppet.
Meanwhile, Sasuke pulled out several White Zetsu from the side. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, beginning to use this body as a medium to summon Itachi Uchiha's soul, and continuously consuming the sacrificial White Zetsu to perform the resurrection ritual.
"Could it be that they're going to revive Itachi?" Shisui stared wide-eyed at Sasuke, somewhat bewildered, unable to fathom what Sasuke was thinking. His heart was filled with doubt and shock.
"Should I use Kotoamatsukami on Itachi later? I've already copied Shisui's eye technique."
Hiruko asked with great interest, a wicked glint in his eyes.
"No, as long as there is a cursed seal that can forcibly control Itachi's body, there is no need to tamper with his will."
I want him to destroy Konoha with his own hands while he is fully conscious!
"Tampering with his will? That would be too easy on him. I want him to suffer and struggle, to shatter everything he once protected with his own hands!"
Sasuke rejected Hiruko's ill-intentioned suggestion without hesitation, his voice cold and firm.
This might sound like revenge against Itachi, but Hiruko and Orochimaru both know that it's actually Sasuke's way of not allowing anyone to trample on Itachi's dignity.
No matter how much Sasuke hated Itachi's actions, his brotherhood was genuine. Sasuke would rather torture and force Itachi himself than allow anyone else to harm Itachi in any way.
"Ha~"
Hiruko chuckled lightly, ignoring the arrogant Sasuke, and instead began to study his newly acquired ability with great interest.
Speaking of Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo, in addition to the twin swords that all Susanoo come with, he also has his own spiritual weapon, which seems to be based on Caladbolg, the spiral sword in Celtic mythology.
Unfortunately, its only unique feature is its shape; it hasn't been endowed with any powerful special functions. If we're talking about destructive power capable of crushing mountains and destroying cities...
Chapter 251 Fusion!
Each complete Susanoo comes with a light blade that can be easily swung a couple of times, so like the chakra bow that comes with Sasuke's Susanoo, it's really useless, all show and no substance.
The magical weapon attached to Obito's Susanoo is more of a manifestation of Kamui's power than a magical weapon. Its name is simple and easy to understand: Kamui Shuriken. Its function is also simple and brutal: anyone grazed by Kamui Shuriken will be devoured and twisted into another dimension, making it impossible to defend against.
"Awaken, Itachi! Welcome the second life I have given you, and as the weapon I used to destroy Konoha, crawl out of the abyss of hell!"
Uchiha Sasuke roared, his voice booming like thunder, causing the surrounding rocks to tumble down.
The aura was like a duelist summoning a devastating monster while playing cards; amidst the howling wind, yet another innocent White Zetsu was swept into the terrifying vortex.
It roared in terror, but was instantly swallowed by darkness, becoming a material for the sacrificial summoning spell. It died on the spot, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating, leaving only the pungent smell of burning in the air.
After all, even the chakra system was introduced to the ninja world from outer space, and the power rules of different worlds are vastly different.
"Kisame, you underestimate yourself and the diversity of the world."
In this world, the descendants of the Otsutsuki may be unrestrained and extremely powerful due to their bloodline, but in other worlds, the Otsutsuki may be less than ants and worthless.
Moreover, different worlds contain countless opportunities to defy fate and change one's destiny; perhaps one day you will be reborn.
Hiruko said calmly, his gaze deep and unfathomable, "Furthermore, I value your serious and cautious attitude even more. You are a true ninja, knowing how to endure and how to lie low."
Compared to the Uchiha clan, who are extremely susceptible to emotional influences, you seem to be a more suitable candidate for my recruitment.
Compared to the Uchiha clan, who are easily swayed by emotions and act recklessly, Kisame, a traditional ninja, is more suitable. At least he won't suddenly turn evil and go crazy like Obito Uchiha.
Furthermore, there is something Hiruko didn't mention, which is the arrogance rooted in the Uchiha bloodline. All Uchiha, whether Madara, Obito, Shisui, Itachi, or even Sasuke, have arrogance that runs deep in their bones, like a stubborn tumor that is difficult to eradicate.
"A more qualified ninja? I don't know whether to be happy or sad."
Kisame was somewhat amused and exasperated. The entire manga depicted Naruto Uzumaki's rejection of traditional ninjas and his trampling on those inhumane ninja rules. It seemed that traditional ninjas like himself had become outcasts of the times.
"What about Uchiha Sasuke?" Kisame asked curiously, his eyes fixed on Hiruko.
"It just so happens that we ran into each other first."
Sasuke is a very interesting guy, and the Indra chakra within him...
That's the power inherited from Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths. It's destined that he will go further than ordinary Uchiha, and his future achievements are limitless.
In addition, Mrs. Mikoto Hiruko would definitely have to give her some face.
Hiruko shrugged, indicating that one cannot generalize between different Uchiha clans, and that Sasuke was truly interesting, full of variables and possibilities.
