Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Sasuke Uchiha slowly opened his closed eyes, and his windmill-shaped Mangekyou Sharingan appeared steadily. The next second, he no longer wasted a single word on the beast who had slaughtered his entire clan. With a stomp of his foot, he moved with the speed of teleportation, instantly appearing behind Itachi Uchiha.

"Gah!"

Sasuke thrust his kunai forward, but instead of feeling the impact, he felt a flurry of crows flying around. This was Itachi Uchiha's most classic life-saving genjutsu, which was applied to himself, so it was unstoppable.

"That really surprised me."

On the other side, Itachi Uchiha, who had transformed back into human form from a crow, was genuinely moved and almost lost his composure. "To think you could do this... Orochimaru's training of you has yielded such obvious results? But don't go astray, Sasuke."

The instant Sasuke moved, Itachi Uchiha had already cast a genjutsu on Sasuke, but the response was rejection, and the genjutsu failed. Therefore, Itachi was forced to use the genjutsu crow at the beginning.

Originally, even if Sasuke awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his eye power should have been inferior to that of an experienced user like him. However, unexpectedly, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan power was actually superior to his!

And it wasn't just in his half-blind state, but in Itachi Uchiha's prime!

Add to that his incredible speed, which seems to have been developed through training, and his visibly mature fighting mentality... it seems that this time, he might as well go all out and fight seriously.

My younger brother has matured and become a qualified ninja. It's time for me to use my life to make Sasuke realize that the village comes first!

"Wrong road?" Sasuke Uchiha laughed, a laugh of anger. "You mean, I have to go protect that village that collaborated with Orochimaru to conduct human experiments, forcefully brainwashed many geniuses in the village, and even joined forces with you to massacre the Uchiha clan?"

The Third Hokage was stupid, not evil, but Danzo Shimura was truly rotten to the core.

Although it's clear that the Third Hokage tolerated Danzo out of long-standing friendship and didn't kill him, that doesn't stop someone like Danzo from living such a comfortable life in Konoha and still causing trouble, a typical second-in-command in the village.

“Danzo…” Itachi Uchiha’s eyes flickered, “That was just a necessary darkness for the village. In any case, Orochimaru’s path is not the path you should take.”

Sasuke's thinking has clearly gone astray; when necessary, he will use Shisui's last remaining [Kotoamatsukami].

If he could persuade Sasuke to return to protect the village, that would be ideal. But if he couldn't, then he should use Kotoamatsukami to directly alter Sasuke's mind and turn him into a loyal dog of Konoha.

Of course, before that, he had to thoroughly investigate and confirm that Sasuke's current value was indeed worth using this special god.

"Nonsense! I used to want to understand you better, but there's no need now. Just accept your fate, Uchiha Itachi!"

Sasuke Uchiha quickly formed hand seals, and the Chidori Spear was instantly mastered. He then threw it at Itachi.

The fact that Shimura Danzo was Konoha's "Necessary Darkness" was something Itachi knew without him saying it, because that's the common understanding among ninjas, and it's highly likely that not only Konoha, but all ninja villages have their own "Necessary Darkness."

After all, the understanding of the ninja world is what it is; their level is too low. They can't speak without the so-called "necessary darkness" and "necessary sacrifice."

But now, Uchiha Sasuke has far surpassed the backward and foolish ninja world in terms of both vision and mindset. Having seen the Land of Light, he knows very well that the ninja world doesn't need to be like this.

They don't even need the Land of Light; any modern Earth could be used as a primary reference.

The revolution in the ninja world begins with killing Uchiha Itachi, the most typical loyal dog of the ninja village, a beast whose mind was filled with "necessary darkness" and "necessary sacrifice"!

"Ugh……"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were filled with compassion, making him seem like a Buddha who had seen through all the truths of the world but had been defied by fools, as if he were the only one who was right in the whole world.

No matter what others say, or whether it makes sense or not, nothing compares to his Will of Fire.

"My foolish brother, since you are so stubborn and brainwashed by Orochimaru's anti-village ideology, it's time to show you the true meaning of the power to protect the village!"

"Watch this, this is the third power, Susanoo!"

Uchiha Itachi stopped pretending.

He figured it out anyway. Orochimaru had probably told Sasuke all the information, and Sasuke clearly knew that although he was nominally a rogue ninja, he was actually loyal to Konoha. So Sasuke was determined to go against Konoha.

Since that's the case, before he dies, let's give Sasuke a good beating so that his younger brother will learn a lesson and understand the truth that we must never be enemies with the strongest village in the world, Konoha, and the Will of Fire!

With a bang, the enormous red Susanoo appeared. In this era, the appearance of Susanoo basically symbolizes near-invincibility. Apart from Pain and the Tsuchikage being able to instantly kill Susanoo, any other expert would have a headache.

Even if Sasuke were to try and use Susanoo, it would definitely be a low-level, half-finished product, far less powerful than what Sasuke possessed.

Itachi Uchiha felt that victory was already in his grasp.

But next second.

"The third power, Susanoo? Ha, ha ha ha ha, what a joke, a huge joke! Is this all you rely on? Don't make me laugh. Just watch, this is the real power!"

Seeing Itachi Uchiha unleash his red Susanoo first, Sasuke Uchiha was not shocked at all. Instead, he looked up at the sky, covered his eyes with one hand, and laughed arrogantly.

"Behold my ultimate form, Suzaman!"

boom!

A new Susanoo, fifty meters long, slowly appeared on Uchiha Sasuke's body. In comparison, Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo, which was only about twenty meters long, suddenly seemed incredibly small.

The latter's Susanoo is not only short, but also very fat. Against the backdrop of this short and fat red Susanoo, the Susanoo that envelops Sasuke looks so powerful and handsome that it's unbelievable. It can captivate anyone in an instant!

"That is……"

Orochimaru, lurking in the shadows, narrowed his snake eyes. Anyone who had watched those tokusatsu shows could immediately see that Sasuke's Susanoo was nothing more than a parody of Ultraman!

However, although this thing looked so familiar that it was obviously a bootleg Ultraman, it didn't resemble any of the Ultraman characters from the TV series, which left Orochimaru somewhat puzzled.

Bruce, standing nearby, immediately realized: "Oh, I see, it's Kassadin."

It's normal that Orochimaru wouldn't recognize Kassadin, since Kassadin doesn't have a TV show. He was probably spotted by Sasuke during a previous live stream.

I wonder if Sasuke's Susanoo, aside from its appearance, has copied even the slightest bit of Kassadin's strengths in terms of ability. If it has, then it's a sure thing.

"Ok?"

Itachi Uchiha's battle intuition was indeed impressive. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he did feel a great threat, so much so that the moment he saw Sasuke's Susanoo, he immediately activated Amaterasu!

"Don't dream!" Sasuke Uchiha's eyes narrowed, his eye power activated, and blood flowed out, but the result was also remarkable. A bootleg Ultra Barrier immediately appeared in front of his Suzaku, successfully blocking Amaterasu's black flames!

You mere mortal with the temperature of the sun dare to challenge my pirated Ultra Barrier? Foolish creature, bow down before the might of my ultimate form!

Of course, since this was too costly, when Itachi could no longer maintain the output of Amaterasu, Sasuke quickly removed the bootleg Ultra Barrier.

"What?!" Itachi Uchiha was clearly surprised to see Amaterasu being completely withstood.

If you ask him if he's afraid of death, he's not really afraid. What he's afraid of is that Sasuke, whom he's painstakingly nurtured with hatred and magnanimity, might turn around and attack Konoha. Sasuke's strength is now no less than his own, so he can't afford to be complacent any longer. He must use Kotoamatsukami immediately!

Seeing that Itachi Uchiha was clearly using some special ninjutsu, and that the mental measuring device on Sasuke's body was beeping rapidly, Bruce, who was lurking in the shadows, said in a hoarse voice, full of indifference as if he had everything under control: "The one who was supposed to come out has finally come out."

"Hiss..." Uchiha Sasuke staggered at this moment, his eyes becoming blurry, which was quickly altered by Kotoamatsukami, and Uchiha Itachi's expression became more and more satisfied.

But very quickly, in less than two seconds, everything reversed. Sasuke's spirit returned as if flowing backward, and all the effects of Kotoamatsukami vanished.

"How is this possible!" Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened, and this time he was so shocked that he lost his composure.

What is impossible?

Bruce, lurking in the shadows, wanted to laugh.

As early as when he learned from Orochimaru that Itachi Uchiha was the strongest master of genjutsu in the ninja world, he had taken a special precaution. He guessed that Itachi might have a trump card that could permanently change the mental state of others, so before the battle, he had already put the special magical item he had taken from Constantine on Sasuke.

Constantine may be a scoundrel, but the level of his trump cards is undeniable. They are at least at the level of an Old God, and everyone who uses them gives them 100% positive feedback. It's only natural that they can withstand the mental manipulation of a mere Kage-level ninja in the ninja world.

Sasuke, having recovered, understood what had happened, and his entire demeanor turned menacing: "Itachi... I truly underestimated your beastly nature!"

The text that was just altered reads: "I am the most loyal guardian of Konoha. Regardless of which generation of Hokage or Konoha high-ranking officials like Shimura Danzo, they all have the unconditional right to order me. As long as the order does not conflict with protecting Konoha, I will execute it unconditionally."

How can someone do this to their own brother? Are they even human?

Although Uchiha Sasuke never intended to let Itachi go, his hatred for Itachi now has accumulated to a level that would be unforgivable even after a hundred lifetimes!

With a whoosh, Suzaman revealed a pirated Ultra Sword.

Although Sasuke really wanted to copy the Ultra Ray, unfortunately he couldn't do it yet. With the strength of the Ultra Ray, even if it was just a copy, he still couldn't fire a single shot with his eye power.

If I can evolve it into the [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan] that I learned from Orochimaru, then I can probably start giving it a shot.

But no matter what, there's no need for a pirated Ultra Ray to deal with Uchiha Itachi; this one sword strike is enough!

"Calm down! Sasuke, you must understand, without the village, there would be no us. The Uchiha clan brought about their own destruction. Small clans can lead to the downfall of a large village. We are Konoha people first, then Uchiha people, and then ourselves. Unconditionally dedicating our lives to Konoha and the Will of Fire is the lifelong responsibility of every Konoha citizen..."

The unexpected failure—Kotoamatsukami actually malfunctioned—shattered Itachi's complete confidence for the first time in a true sense. His expression changed drastically, and he spoke rapidly, attempting to persuade Sasuke with theory.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but before he dies, he must persuade Sasuke to become an ally of Konoha!

However, Sasuke could only laugh at his rambling. He showed no mercy and, in the blink of an eye, moved Suzaku from in front of Itachi to behind Itachi.

This shift in position meant that his sword strike had been successful, so fast that Itachi didn't even have time to use genjutsu to escape.

"Tear--"

The fat, short, red Susanoo was severed at the waist, and a large amount of blood gushed from Itachi Uchiha's waist. He stared blankly down, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something.

But he never had that chance again. Before he could utter his last words, his entire upper body collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Uchiha Itachi is dead!

In the distance, Naruto Uzumaki, who was also lurking in the shadows with Orochimaru and Batman, gasped in astonishment: "Has that arrogant Sasuke really become this powerful?!"

He had sparred with Sasuke before when he was at Orochimaru's base. Although he lost, it seemed like he still had a chance of winning.

But now it seems that it was only because Sasuke didn't use Susanoo at all. If Susanoo had been activated, it would have been terrifying.

Fortunately, according to Batman's plan, Orochimaru sealed the Nine-Tails inside his stomach, indicating that he would leave the Nine-Tails out of the loop before making a deal. If all went well, he would be able to borrow the Nine-Tails' power in the future.

On the other hand, he has also created many shadow clones to continuously train in different areas at the secret base, making significant progress, so he still has a chance to catch up with Sasuke.

But that's not enough; he needs to be faster and stronger!

“Batman…” Naruto turned his head, wanting to ask if there was a faster way to improve, he really wanted to improve.

When he turned his head, he saw Batman and Orochimaru darting out like startled birds!

Of course, what frightens them is only their speed; the ones who truly become frightened in terms of identity, or even become caged birds, are others.

"This is impossible! We've been discovered? Damn it, what's going on? Why is Kamui being restricted? Black Zetsu, get me underground! What? You're saying we were also restricted and ambushed underground?!"

A black Zetsu resembling a pitcher plant, and a mysterious masked man wearing a spiral mask and Akatsuki uniform, with only one eye protruding from the mask—clearly possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan—are screaming in panic.

They originally came to watch the battle, thinking that if Itachi was killed, they would try to recruit Sasuke.

As soon as they appeared, everything went wrong. The various traps and restrictions that had been set up in advance instantly activated, trapping the two of them firmly in place.

Before she could even utter a single word to seduce Sasuke, she was already considered a prisoner.

"The guy with more information has delivered himself to our doorstep!"

Batman and Orochimaru looked at the two of them as if they were succulent pieces of pork. They each took one, worked together, and swiftly took down the masked man and Black Zetsu.

Bruce really went all out this time, spending almost all the cards he had extorted from Constantine in one go, and the results were remarkable.

Everything is progressing steadily.

Bruce nodded as he bound the masked man, who was trembling with panic and cursing, with mystical shackles.

His progress is going smoothly, but I wonder how things are going in the EVA world.
