the battle of zowea

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

The entire Shinobi world fell into a strange silence.

Everything that happened in Suna Village was not deliberately blocked or concealed. The various big Ninja Villages also understood the whole story of the incident.

The mysterious Akatsuki actually sent out four Kage-rank powerhouses at once. Kazekage fought desperately, but still was not their match.

For Ninja Village, it was definitely not a good thing for them to suddenly have an organization with so many experts.

However, what they feared the most was still the Seireitei who had just appeared.

From the current situation, it was known.

The modern world had an expert whose strength far surpassed Kage-rank and a mysterious Haku woman.

They could easily force Akatsuki back.

And Akatsuki's target, Shukaku, could even fight against two.

Wasn't Ichibi a relatively weak tailed-beast?

All the big Ninja Villages were puzzled.

Raikage asked the eight-tailed Jinchuriki.

The response he received was that from the information, Ichibi's strength had far surpassed the past.

What was even stranger was that Ichibi was in human form.

In this regard, the eight-tailed was puzzled.

"We tailed-beasts do not have the ability to transform into human form. Is this a rumor?"

Raikage shook his head.

"The possibility of intelligence error is extremely low. Could it be that Ichibi broke the seal and released a new ability?"

"Impossible. If that civet cat breaks the seal, wouldn't that Kazekage die? Moreover, he does not have the ability to break the seal."

Hearing Bawei's solemn reply, Raikage fell silent again.

The mystery of Akatsuki and Seireitei, the unknown of Ichibi, everything was developing in an uncontrollable direction.

"Shinobi world is going to be in chaos." Raikage let out a long sigh. He suddenly had a premonition in his heart.

The new Shinobi world battle might be coming soon.

Inside Akatsuki.

All the members had returned and were undergoing a brief adjustment.

Nagato did not expect that Ichibi's capture was so difficult.

"Leave Ichibi's capture to me. You can continue to capture other tailed-beasts," he said after pondering for a moment.

At present, Akatsuki already had two tails, three tails, and seven tails.

Originally, he thought that the plan to capture tailed-beasts would be relatively smooth, but he did not expect that there would be a mistake.

"A tailed-beast that can transform into human form, this Ichibi is not an ordinary tailed-beast." Nagato frowned and muttered to himself.

"Why would Seireitei help Suna Village? Could it be that Ichibi's change is related to them?" A sense of crisis arose in Nagato's heart.

It could be seen from everything that had happened before.

Seireitei's expert Kage-rank possessed a special ability.

For Akatsuki who had just lost Kakuzu and Hidan, this was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

"Perhaps it's time to make a trip to Seireitei." Nagato thought in his heart.

He had enough confidence in his own strength.

Just Pain alone had already reached beyond Kage-rank. It would definitely be easy for Seireitei to come and go as he pleased.

"Kakaka." A few crows flew past the sky above Konoha and stopped on the branches, letting out ear-piercing cries.

For many people, crows were an ominous symbol.

Sasuke, who was cultivating Ninjutsu in the mansion, stopped. He looked up at the crows that were resting on the branches of his courtyard. His sharp eyes immediately discovered the pattern of the crows' eyes being controlled by Sharingan.

Moreover, the crow had a letter tied to its feet.

"Itachi." His eyes turned cold and he directly took the letter.

After reading it for a moment, his eyes were brewing a killing intent.

"The final battle?" he murmured.

The content of the letter was very simple: "It is time to settle things between us."

A sentence + time and place.

Sasuke did not expect that Itachi's invitation would come so quickly.

In the past, he was extremely dependent on Itachi. He was the little follower behind Itachi.

He doted on this genius Uchiha Clan.

Now, he and he had a puzzled hatred.

He even wanted to kill the other party.

But when the invitation came, Sasuke actually hesitated in his heart.

He didn't even know the truth and didn't want to rashly fight like this.

Everything that Itachi had done to Uchiha Clan indeed deserved death, but at least he needed to know the truth.

The wind blew past, blowing the fallen leaves to Sasuke's side. Sasuke stood silently in the bleak cold wind.

"This day has indeed come." Jiraiya's sigh suddenly sounded from inside the mansion.

"You are here, Jiraiya Sensei." Sasuke said calmly.

Sasuke was very familiar with Konoha.

Although the current Konoha lacked Kage-rank, the middle and lower Ninja was far more united than before.

His strength even improved very quickly.

In such a situation.

Without Konoha's acquiescence, it was impossible for the crows controlled by Sharingan to enter Konoha.

"Are you here to tell me the truth?" Sasuke looked at Jiraiya, his eyes filled with a chilling calmness.

Sasuke was not a fool. From Konoha's attitude, it was not difficult to tell that the reason for Uchiha's extermination was caused by the leadership of Konoha.

It was also for this reason that Godaime Hokage was struggling whether to make Jiraiya his own Sensei.

Because she did not want to cultivate a traitor.

In the face of Sasuke's inquiry, Jiraiya sighed and sat down next to Sasuke.

"Yes, I'm here to tell you the truth."

Before this, Jiraiya had thought about a lot.

He wanted to stop the letter and continue to hide it, so that Sasuke could live in hatred for Itachi and work for Konoha.

But thinking about it carefully, paper could not wrap fire.

Rather than waiting for Sasuke to find out the truth in the future and be dissatisfied with Konoha, it would be better to tell the truth directly.

Jiraiya also believed that Sasuke would not leave Konoha.

"All of this started a long, long time ago."

Jiraiya told Sasuke about the fear of Konoha's higher-ups and Uchiha's plan to betray the village.

There were no omissions or exaggerations.

"In order to stop the rebellion, Itachi bore the name of extermination. As a transaction, his younger brother, you survived."

When Jiraiya finished speaking, Sasuke's expression was dull, his eyes flashing with tears.

"So this is the truth." He sighed with a complicated expression.

"Since Konoha has always suppressed Uchiha, why do you always tell me the truth? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?" Sasuke looked into Jiraiya's eyes.

"Yes, of course I am." Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed foolishly.

"But I can't keep it from you just because I'm afraid. Moreover, this toad Sage is your master. Even if you want to betray me, I will pull you back!"

Looking at Jiraiya's straightforward smile, Sasuke's heart was touched.

After knowing the truth, it was impossible to say that he had no hatred for Konoha.

If not for Konoha's suppression, Uchiha Clan wouldn't have stepped onto the road of rebellion.

Itachi knew that Uchiha betraying the village was equivalent to death, so he would rather bear this infamy.

This method sounded great, but in Sasuke's eyes, it was stupid.

"He made me immerse myself in hatred, making me constantly become stronger for this pair of eyes." Sasuke pointed at his own Mangekyō Sharingan.

Every time he used Mangekyō Sharingan, Ninjutsu's eyes would become blurry.

This kind of Sharingan was definitely not the final form.

Perhaps... Itachi had grasped the method of Mangekyō Sharingan's advancement.

Sasuke was very curious about Itachi's final goal. He really wanted to know if the current Itachi was the completely devoid of humanity, or the gentle Itachi from before.

"I will go to the appointment. No matter what, there must be an end between him and me." Sasuke said lightly.

Itachi was the famous Kage-rank expert, and Sasuke had received guidance from Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Compared to Itachi, Sasuke was a rising star.

In terms of strength, he might not necessarily be weaker than Itachi.

"Have you decided? That might be a battle of life and death." Jiraiya put away his smiling expression and asked with a serious face.

From their standpoint, they were both on Konoha's side. No matter who died or died, it would be a loss for Konoha.

"Jiraiya, Sensei, I hope you won't interfere in the battle that day." Sasuke took a deep breath, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"I understand." Jiraiya nodded solemnly.

"But remember, Itachi loves you more than anyone else."

In the Valley of the End a few days later.

"Pa, ta." The crisp sound of footsteps rang out, and Sasuke walked out from the corner. Looking at the towering statue in front of him, he felt a little emotional.

The Valley of the End was the place where Shodai Hokage and Uchiha Madara fought their final battle.

In order to commemorate this battle, Konoha had built statues on both sides of the Valley of the End.

In the middle of the statues was a waterfall that was slanted down.

And Uchiha Itachi was standing on the shore.

"Is this tomb you chose for yourself?" Sasuke sneered.

Sensing that Sasuke was approaching, Itachi opened his eyes, revealing a pair of scarlet and evil Mangekyou Sharingan. The corners of his mouth held a cold arc.

"Grave?"

"Can your eyes see the name on the grave?"

"Uchiha Sasuke is written there."

"Sou." In the next moment, the two figures disappeared at the same time, instantly intersecting in the empty field.

"Bang." The collision of Kunai produced a crisp spark.

The two brothers did not waste any more words, directly coming up to fight.

Although Sasuke already knew Itachi's goal, he still wanted to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Therefore, this battle was inevitable.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The venue was filled with lightning and fire. The two figures constantly jumped and flashed in space.

The lightning on Sasuke's body also became more and more violent. Soon, his speed surpassed Itachi's.

He turned his head and flashed past Kunai, who was attacking Itachi. He grabbed Itachi by the collar, and his arm burst out with amazing strength, directly pressing him to the ground.

"Chidori Liu." His right arm flashed with lightning and directly fell on Itachi's body. The dazzling sparks burst out, directly burning the grass under Itachi.

"What an amazing Taijutsu. You've grown up." Itachi's skin was festering as he lay on the grass and said softly.

In the next moment, his entire body turned into a scattered black crow.

"Insignificant skill, Chidori Eisō!" Sasuke snorted in disdain and suddenly swung his right hand to the right.

In the next moment, the long spear made of lightning flashed in a dazzling arc and shot in that direction.

The Chidori Eisō brought with it a harsh sound of wind breaking, and the high temperature that was ignited directly cracked the entire grass.

"Chi!!" The spear stabbed into the air, and then a shocked Itachi appeared.

His chest was stabbed, and his body flew at least ten meters away due to inertia.

The lightning wrapped around him directly paralyzed his whole body.

"Ka." Sasuke slowly walked toward Itachi with an expressionless face.

Itachi, who was lying in the electric light, had blood on the corner of his mouth, but his face was calm.

"Everyone relies on their own knowledge and knowledge, but they are bound and become reality."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Sasuke's legs burst out with a terrifying force again. The surrounding lightning directly stepped on the ground under his feet, leaving a small hole in the air. In an instant, the real body of Itachi appeared and punched his abdomen.

"Bang!" Itachi widened his eyes and spat out stomach fluid from his mouth. He flew out like a cannonball and smashed into several trees before stopping.

"How is this possible? My Genjutsu was completely seen through?" Itachi covered his abdomen with a face of disbelief. He was shocked in his heart.

In this battle, Sasuke's series of attacks actually gave him a huge pressure.

Even the proud Genjutsu was easily broken.

This meant that Sasuke already had the same strength as him, or even surpassed him.

Under Sasuke's surprised gaze, Itachi suddenly covered his face and laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, hahahaha."

"What's so funny?" Sasuke's face was cold. "Do you feel funny about your own ignorance and shallowness?"

"Hahahahaha." Itachi was still laughing.

"I am laughing at Uchiha Madara, because the person standing at the peak of Uchiha is not him, but me."

Itachi stopped smiling and revealed a greedy expression.

"Sasuke, to me, you will be my light. Your eyes will be the witness of me standing at the peak of Uchiha!"

"Mangekyou Sharingan, the cursed Eye of Sin. Our mission is to obtain the eyes of the highest."

"Through the slaughter between the same clan, father and son, brothers turn their eyes to obtain the eternal eyes."

"Uchiha is an ugly family that abandons feelings for power."

"I only have one goal, and that is to make my dearest little brother my power."

"So, hand your eyes to me, Sasuke!"

"My eyes will absorb your eyes, gain eternity, and become eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"Come and fight!"

Itachi's expression was extremely distorted and terrifying.

However, what surprised Itachi was that Sasuke's expression did not change at all, and the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly.

It seemed like he wanted to laugh.

Itachi's expression immediately froze.

He had already turned into a movie king, so why was his younger brother still so calm?

"So, your goal is only for the eyes." Sasuke's voice was filled with disdain, and his eyes turned into Mangekyou Sharingan.

"I am like you, the power that was absorbed in the eyes before." Sasuke was lost in his memories, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"At that time, I also thought that Sharingan could give me all the power I wanted."

The memory came to the day when he was beaten up by Naruto.

The awakened Sharingan swelled up, thinking that he could rely on his eyes to defeat Naruto.

But in the end, he was taught a good lesson by Naruto.

After many challenges, the eyes did not play a big role.

On the contrary, through the nature change of Chakra, he had mastered more self-created Ninjutsu, which was even more useful than Sharingan.

Then it was the day when Konoha was a nightmare.

Even Sharingan was completely played by Kyōka Suigetsu.

Sasuke knew that even Mangekyō Sharingan was like a decoration in front of Naruto.

"Never believe your own eyes." Sasuke stared into Itachi's eyes and whispered.

"Your eyes are worthless in front of me, Itachi."
