Extra Chapter~
Two towering giants, each tens of meters high, stood facing each other: one fiery orange red, the other a deep purple.
Both Susanoos radiated a chakra so intense that anyone nearby would feel suffocated, as if in the presence of death itself.
"Susanoo..."
"You've even mastered this technique."
Itachi was so surprised he didn't know what to say.
Sasuke had continually amazed him, time and time again.
Mastering Susanoo's power was no easy feat, and the toll it took on one's life force was not something an ordinary person could bear.
"My reason to obtain this power was to kill you, the traitor of the Uchiha clan!"
Sasuke glared at Itachi with a menacing expression.
Itachi's eyes grew complicated with emotion as he looked at Sasuke.
A traitor, huh...?
Perhaps.
Sasuke to see you grow to this extent puts my mind at ease.
Seeing Sasuke like this, Itachi's last bit of worry disappeared.
"Words are useless.
"Enough talk. Now show me your true power."
As the words fell, the two Susanoo clashed.
A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, the deafening explosion echoing loudly as the surrounding trees and vegetation were obliterated by the immense wind pressure.
Zetsu repositioned himself again, knowing that in this place, they could be caught in the aftermath of the battle at any moment.
So this is the power of the Uchiha clan.
How terrifying.
White Zetsu watched the scene unfold with shock.
However, Black Zetsu, who had lived for countless ages remained unmoved by what he saw.
He had seen even Perfect Susanoo before, and this was not even a complete Susanoo.
The true power of Susanoo was far beyond this.
Madara could destroyed a mountain with a single strike.
Initially, Sasuke and Itachi appeared evenly matched, but as time passed, Itachi began to show signs of being overwhelmed and pushed back.
It wasn't that Itachi was holding back.
The power of Susanoo itself placed an immense burden on the body, and Itachi's health had long since deteriorated to a critical state.
In this condition, Itachi's strength rapidly declined, and even maintaining the Susanoo became difficult.
Pfft!
At the moment of impact, Itachi coughed up blood, his face growing even paler.
"Itachi! I will kill you!"
In that instant, Sasuke's years of suppressed killing intent exploded like a scene from a nightmare.
Boom!
The orange-red Susanoo finally crumbled.
As Sasuke charged forward, a smile appeared on the corner of Itachi's mouth.
Sasuke, you've finally grown up.
Splut!
A Kusanagi pierced Itachi's chest.
Feeling the piercing pain in his chest, Itachi's eyes widened, and he felt his life force draining away, his eyes losing their light.
Itachi shakily raised a hand and tapped Sasuke's forehead in a familiar gesture.
"Forgive me, Sasuke, this is the last time."
With that, Itachi's body collapsed heavily, his eyes devoid of light.
Itachi died under Sasuke's Kusanagi.
Meanwhile, White Zetsu, who had watched the entire battle, couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Incredible. Itachi is actually dead."
"Why did Itachi seem so different from usual? His speed and strength seemed weaker."
White Zetsu muttered as he looked at Itachi's body.
Black Zetsu, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought as he looked at Itachi's body, contemplating something.
If he could obtain those Mangekyo Sharingan eyes…
Sasuke touched his forehead as Susanoo shattered around him, the pain from his body doubling.
Sasuke collapsed to the ground, looking at Itachi's body, feeling the scene before him was somewhat unreal.
"I did it, I really did it!"
"Father, Mother! Clan members! I've finally avenged you."
Sasuke howled to the sky, years of suppressed emotions bursting forth.
Whether it was the outburst of emotions or the side effects of Susanoo, Sasuke also fainted.
Sasuke also passed out.
Black Zetsu couldn't hold back any longer.
He and Obito were the only ones who knew the truth about why Itachi became a rogue ninja.
If they could use this to their advantage, perhaps Sasuke could become their pawn.
However, just as Black Zetsu was about to act, he and White Zetsu suddenly sensed a hint of danger.
A sharp flying slash descended, and like sinking into mud, Black Zetsu split from White Zetsu's body.
White Zetsu wasn't so lucky, being sliced from head to toe by Ryujiro's Zanpakuto.
White Zetsu's body split in two, and surprisingly, no blood spurted out.
After all, White Zetsu was more of a puppet than a human, akin to a plant. Thus, he didn't bleed.
Moreover, the death of White Zetsu's main body would not have any impact.
"You bastard!"
Black Zetsu screamed at Ryujiro.
"Oh?"
"You managed to dodge?"
Ryujiro mocked, looking at the mud-like Black Zetsu.
Although Black Zetsu was angry, he wasn't stupid.
As one of the most cautious characters in the entire shinobi world, he knew he wasn't a match for Ryujiro.
When did Ryujiro appear?
If Ryujiro had been nearby, he and White Zetsu should have sensed him immediately.
"When did you get here?"
Black Zetsu asked seriously.
Ryujiro revealed a playful smile. "I've been here the whole time, just above your heads."
Only then did Black Zetsu notice Ryujiro wasn't standing on the ground but floating in the air.
Black Zetsu's heart pounded.
This guy can fly?
How could Obito not gather this intelligence?
Damn it, what a useless fool.
Without another word, Black Zetsu quickly fled, not even from the surface but using a special technique to escape underground.
Ryujiro had no interest in Black Zetsu at the moment.
If he killed Black Zetsu now, it would be too boring without many interesting things happening.
Besides, killing Black Zetsu wasn't easy.
He was the physical manifestation of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, an existence similar to the nature of Yin-Yang Release.
Removing him wouldn't be easy.
Ryujiro sighed as he looked at Itachi's yet to disappear soul.
"The path you chose might have been wrong from the start."
Ryujiro absorbed Itachi's soul into the Hogyoku, not to devour it, but to place it in a special space within the Hogyoku where the souls Ryujiro had collected turned into Hollows and devoured each other.
This space, created by Ryujiro using the Hogyoku, was akin to Hueco Mundo.
When Itachi's soul was absorbed into this space, it too began to transform.
