Chapter 78

"Ding!"

In an instant, Kaito had arrived in front of Uchiha Itachi, his ninja blade directly slashing towards Itachi's neck!

He attacked mercilessly, without any room for sentiment. However, Itachi's reaction was also swift, and in the blink of an eye, he used his ninja blade to parry.

Kaito's attack wasn't his full strength, and he didn't even use Tsukuyomi.

Because he had to guard against Obito's sneak attack, at the same time, he had to see what decision Uchiha Fugaku, that man, would ultimately make.

What reassured him was that Fugaku only coldly glanced at Itachi once, then turned his cautious gaze back to Obito.

This action spoke volumes, and Kaito began to exert more force in his attack.

With a light tug of his ninja blade, he again attacked Itachi from a strange angle.

Itachi's reaction speed was fast; he used a substitution jutsu almost the moment Kaito's blade was about to slit his throat.

Accompanied by a smoke screen, two pieces of wood scattered on the ground, and Itachi himself appeared next to a nearby house.

At this point, Itachi's mind was in chaos. He had originally thought that only Shisui in his clan possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He had never thought that his own father, and this Uchiha Kaito, who had once been on par with Shisui, would also have such eyes.

He also hadn't expected that Uchiha Kaito was now the clan leader and had directly excommunicated him from the Uchiha clan!

Seeing the icy, alien-like gazes from Shisui and his own father, he felt extremely suffocated. This heaviness made it nearly impossible for him to breathe.

How did things come to this? Why has it developed to this point?

"Lord Clan Leader."

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku took a step forward.

He respectfully bowed slightly to Kaito, then silently raised his head, his gaze locked onto Itachi.

"I hope Lord Clan Leader can hand this sinner over to me. I wish to cleanse the sin I have caused myself!"

Uchiha Fugaku did not call Itachi by his name, and Kaito could see Fugaku's cold and resolute emotion at this moment.

However, after a bit of thought, Kaito still shook his head, slowly opening his mouth to speak.

"Fugaku-san, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't let either you or Shisui confront him.

It's not about trust, but rather that your past interactions and feelings with him are too profound. It would be too cruel to have you face him.

You have a more appropriate opponent. That person who once committed sins in Konoha and made the Uchiha situation so difficult is right here.

Shisui, Fugaku, I give you a task: execute this man to restore the Uchiha name!"

Having spoken, Kaito once again approached Itachi with his ninja blade, while Fugaku, watching Kaito's back, let out a quiet sigh.

Turning his head, he and Shisui together locked their gazes onto Uchiha Obito. At this moment, his eyes were filled with a furious desire to kill.

Although he did not blame Kaito for the charges levied against him, he blamed his own past actions, which filled him with resentment and despair.

And now, the person who caused the Uchiha to suffer, the person who severely challenged his past judgement, was right in front of him. How could he bear it?

"I don't know who you are, and I don't care who you are. But it was you who released the Nine-Tails. It was you who killed Lord Fourth Hokage and his wife."

Uchiha Fugaku spoke through gritted teeth. His aura at this moment was particularly cold, causing unease to those around him.

"You are the main culprit who plunged the Uchiha clan into such a predicament. I think it's time we settle the score.

You damned skulker, like a rat in the gutter!"

With that, Uchiha Fugaku was the first to charge forward, and Shisui followed behind with his short sword. He also bore a deep hatred for this person.

If not for this guy, would the Uchiha clan have fallen into such a state?

Similarly, at this moment, Shisui had completely erased Itachi from his heart. It seemed that from the moment Kaito revealed the identity of this mysterious person, Shisui's feelings shifted.

Itachi was actually in league with such a person, even plotting to destroy the Uchiha clan. Such a person truly did not deserve to bear the Uchiha name.

From the moment Kaito expelled him in the name of the clan leader, he was no longer a member of the Uchiha clan. He could only be an enemy of the Uchiha!

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui charged towards Obito, while Kaito once again confronted Uchiha Itachi.

Kaito still maintained extreme vigilance at this moment, although he was indeed very powerful now.

With his Sharingan and the aid of his system, he had received a series of enhancements. He was confident even when facing Uchiha Shisui.

However, the unpredictable nature of the Sharingan made him dare not let down his guard, especially since he had no idea what the ability of Itachi's Sharingan was.

"Cling!"

A flash of azure blade light vanished quickly. Itachi quickly retreated and a short blade appeared in his hand, barely blocking Kaito's attack.

However, such a block seemed somewhat futile against Kaito's swordsmanship. By the time Itachi raised his blade to counterattack, Kaito had already drawn his blade and launched a second round of attacks.

Accompanying Kaito's blade dance, blades formed by Wind Style chakra were continually swirling around. The sharp wind blades kept blowing, preventing Itachi from launching any attack.

Moreover, his swordsmanship obviously could not compete with Kaito's. All he could do was to continually retreat and dodge.

The clashing of metal rang out continually, and the battle for Itachi became increasingly difficult. He really had never thought that Kaito's strength would be so great.

What's most important was that he couldn't understand why this guy would possess the Mangekyou Sharingan. When did he get such a pair of eyes?

However, he was clear that Kaito would not answer these questions for him. It was just like why his father lost his position as clan leader, and the clan leader became the man in front of him.

"Cling."

Once again, the ninja blades clashed fiercely together. At this moment, Itachi quickly used his body-flicker technique to stealthily increase the distance between them.

Then, almost at the fastest speed, he began forming seals, and his chakra surged rapidly.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Hmph!"

Kaito, seeing this scene, couldn't help but snort coldly. He didn't stop for a moment and charged forward relentlessly.

However, at that moment, a warning emerged in his mind, and then he instantly dodged to the front side. Just at this instant, a breaking wind sound brushed past his clothes.

Kaito didn't need to look; he knew he was unharmed, and he was certain this was Itachi's handiwork.

"Interesting. Using Fire Style to block my vision and then launch a surprise attack, huh?"

Kaito's eyes swiftly scanned around, and in an instant, he pinpointed Itachi's location. The next moment, he directly pressed on.

Yet, at this moment, Kaito clearly saw tears of blood begin to appear in Itachi's eyes, and an eerie chakra began to envelop the surroundings.

A searing heat began to spread, and black flames quietly appeared within Kaito's line of sight.

The appearance of such flames instantly alerted Kaito to one of the abilities of Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan - if nothing was amiss, this would be Amaterasu.

If that's the case, then his other ability would probably be Tsukuyomi, wouldn't it?

Although Kaito was very curious about how he awakened his eyes, and even gained these two abilities, no matter what, this was all excellent news to Kaito.

There were differences between Sharingan, and there were differences between Mangekyou Sharingan too.

Kaito wanted Itachi to see clearly before his death, just how much of a gap there was between his newly acquired Mangekyou and his own!
