Chapter 284: Hit Sasuke? No! Hit Madara!

Uchiha Itachi never expected this.

His own brother had become so powerful!

With the enhancement of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Uchiha Sasuke's figure was as fast as lightning, so fast that even Uchiha Itachi had to predict his movements in advance!

Moreover…

The speed exploded into immense strength!

Even Uchiha Itachi didn't dare to directly confront the sword in Uchiha Sasuke's hand!

As Uchiha Sasuke said, he had countless opportunities to attack, and just one mistake from Uchiha Itachi would split him in two with the sword!

This intense battle posed a huge challenge for Uchiha Itachi. No matter how fast his hand signs were, they couldn't keep up with Uchiha Sasuke's speed!

A simple Great Fireball Technique, a jutsu that usually only took one second to complete, took Uchiha Itachi a full five seconds to finish the hand signs!

Uchiha Itachi spat out a massive flame towards the direction Uchiha Sasuke was charging from, hoping this technique would buy him some breathing time!

Bang!

Uchiha Sasuke directly broke through the flames!

The Lightning Release Chakra Mode granted him both speed and defense, allowing him to ignore the damage from this jutsu!

Clang!

Uchiha Sasuke swung his sword towards Uchiha Itachi's chest!

Uchiha Itachi could only hastily extend a kunai to block!

In the instant they clashed head-on, the power from Uchiha Sasuke's speed gave him the upper hand, sending Uchiha Itachi flying, and the kunai in his hand shattered in an instant!

"Completely unmatched…"

A serious expression slowly appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face: "Even among the many opponents I've faced, none could match you in close combat…"

"That's only natural!"

Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly, extremely satisfied with his training in the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, a secret technique only the Raikage of the Cloud Village could master!

In the next moment!

Uchiha Sasuke charged towards his brother again!

However…

This time, it was clearly different!

Because red, ethereal skeletal structures suddenly emerged from Uchiha Itachi, appearing extremely solid, like armor protecting his body!

"Finally using it, huh?"

"The legendary eye jutsu, Susanoo…"

Uchiha Sasuke watched his sword strike the skeletal structure of Susanoo, observing Uchiha Itachi within, who seemed slightly relieved.

Indeed.

Only Susanoo could ensure his safety.

Uchiha Itachi finally took a breath under the protection of Susanoo.

"First form of Susanoo, huh?"

Sitting on a stone chair, Uchiha Madara seemed a bit disdainful, laughing contemptuously: "Is this level of Susanoo meant to be a joke?"

For Uchiha Madara, it was naturally insignificant.

For Uchiha Sasuke, this level of Susanoo was a considerable nuisance, as he lacked the Mangekyō Sharingan to contend with it.

Bang!

Uchiha Itachi manipulated the first form of Susanoo to grow a skeletal hand, slamming it heavily towards Uchiha Sasuke!

Uchiha Sasuke quickly retreated!

The solid stone ground was instantly shattered into rubble by Susanoo's hand!

Standing at a distance, Uchiha Sasuke slowly inserted his sword into the ground, scrutinizing Susanoo, seemingly trying to find its weakness.

"Now… it's my turn."

Uchiha Itachi's eyes flickered, calmly forming hand signs under Susanoo's protection, and spat out numerous flames towards Uchiha Sasuke!

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Jutsu!"

A barrage of flames chased after Uchiha Sasuke, who could only dodge swiftly!

Although these techniques couldn't harm him, he couldn't stay in one place either, which made him look slightly embarrassed…

However…

This was a good thing.

"Chidori!"

Uchiha Sasuke's expression changed, swiftly forming hand signs, a mass of lightning appearing in his palm, as Chidori required extreme acceleration for maximum impact!

"Is that Captain Kakashi's jutsu?"

Uchiha Itachi saw the lightning in Uchiha Sasuke's hand.

"No…"

Uchiha Itachi frowned, watching Uchiha Sasuke running around Susanoo, gradually transforming into a bolt of lightning!

In the next moment!

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly dashed towards Susanoo, thrusting his Chidori into the skeletal structure of Susanoo!

Crack…

The sound of a bone breaking was crisp!

The corners of Uchiha Sasuke's mouth curled into a smug smile. The speed of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode combined with the accelerated impact of Chidori was enough to pierce through the defense of Susanoo!

In the face of the high-speed Chidori Lightning Release, the first form of Susanoo was as fragile as a paper wall, completely unable to resist!

"Not good..."

Uchiha Itachi's figure rapidly retreated!

However, Uchiha Sasuke pressed forward!

The first form of Susanoo shattered instantly!

Uchiha Itachi's body was about to be pierced directly by the Chidori in an instant, and he could already feel the sharpness of the Chidori on his body!

Boom!

Susanoo reformed!

This time it wasn't just a simple first form!

A red Susanoo skeleton suddenly appeared, and lines of chakra filled Susanoo's body in an instant, enveloping Uchiha Itachi in a complete Susanoo giant!

The walls and ceiling of the entire warehouse were instantly shattered by the Susanoo giant's body!

However...

It wasn't over yet...

The evolution of Susanoo continued!

Chakra formed a thick layer of armor over Susanoo's body in an instant, covering Susanoo entirely. In one hand, Susanoo held a blazing red shield, and in the other, a gourd sword hilt!

Uchiha Itachi spat out a mouthful of blood, forcibly using Susanoo in this form was taking a heavy toll on his body, but this was already his strongest defensive technique!

Uchiha Itachi raised his hand, manipulating Susanoo to raise the shield, directly knocking Uchiha Sasuke away. The Chidori posed no threat to that shield!

In the next moment!

Uchiha Itachi manipulated Susanoo to raise the gourd sword hilt, stabbing it towards Uchiha Sasuke. A stream of liquid-like light emanated from the gourd sword hilt!

Uchiha Sasuke rolled on the ground to avoid the light!

Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo had already reached the limit of his control. The defensive shield in his hand could resist any attack, and the gourd sword light in his other hand could extend indefinitely!

"Yata Mirror, Totsuka Blade..."

Among those present, only Uchiha Madara understood these the best.

Sitting on a stone chair, Uchiha Madara's eyes finally showed interest. He watched Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo wielding its weapons with great interest: "The Yata Mirror that is said to be able to defend against any attack, and the Totsuka Blade that can seal anything..."

Uchiha Madara smiled lightly, not withholding his praise: "Even I feel a bit envious of these two weapons..."

However...

Just as Uchiha Madara was smiling lightly, Uchiha Itachi's Totsuka Blade continued to attack Uchiha Sasuke, forcing him to dodge in a sorry state!

Until Uchiha Itachi saw the figures of Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Madara overlap, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly retracted the gourd sword hilt!

In the next moment!

The Totsuka Blade shot out from the gourd sword hilt again!

The light of the Totsuka Blade was dazzling, forcing Uchiha Sasuke to dodge instantly!

At the moment Uchiha Sasuke dodged, the Totsuka Blade continued with undiminished momentum, suddenly striking Uchiha Madara who was sitting on the stone chair!

"!!!"

No one present had expected such a twist in the duel!

No one had anticipated that during the battle between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo would make a mistake and directly hit Uchiha Madara!

The light of the Totsuka Blade grew intense!

No matter how strong Uchiha Madara was, his soul was being involuntarily drawn back by the Totsuka Blade, seemingly about to be sealed!

This unexpected turn...

Caught everyone off guard!

Black Zetsu suddenly became tense!

Because the Totsuka Blade was the most terrifying Kusanagi sword in the ninja world, capable of sealing all evil and strange forces, it was especially effective against reanimated beings like Uchiha Madara!

"Interesting..."

Uchiha Madara looked at the Totsuka Blade piercing his body, without a trace of panic, but his eyes grew dangerously sharp: "For an Uchiha with the Sharingan, such a basic mistake of injuring a spectator shouldn't happen..."

"Sorry."

Standing within Susanoo, Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly apologetic: "My vision has deteriorated significantly, I didn't see your position clearly..."

"But..."

Uchiha Itachi suddenly manipulated Susanoo to retract the Totsuka Blade, intending to seize this opportunity to seal the reanimated Uchiha Madara into the Totsuka Blade: "Since the mistake has been made, I might as well let it be!"

This was a plan Uchiha Itachi had conceived long ago!

This was also why Uchiha Itachi hadn't used Amaterasu, he had to save enough eye power to deal with the reanimated Uchiha Madara!

Without a doubt...

Uchiha Madara was an evil person!

Uchiha Itachi took advantage of Uchiha Sasuke's attack momentum, gradually forcing himself to use Susanoo, forcing himself to confront his brother with Susanoo!

Taking this opportunity, while Susanoo could still be maintained, he caused a 'mistake' with the Totsuka Blade in the battle, thereby injuring the always-watching Uchiha Madara!

The other surviving Uchiha posed no threat...

However, the reanimated Uchiha Madara would definitely instill evil thoughts into Uchiha Sasuke, and Uchiha Madara's power would pose a huge threat to Uchiha Sasuke, which Uchiha Itachi could never tolerate!

"This kind of mistake shouldn't happen..."

Uchiha Madara stroked his eye sockets, still resisting the sealing power of the Totsuka Blade, his battle intent shining fiercely in his eyes: "Kid, should I take this as a premeditated challenge against your predecessor?"

"You can."

"Killing Sasuke is just a minor issue..."

Uchiha Itachi raised his gaze, looking at the Uchiha Madara sitting on the stone chair: "Eliminating the souls that should be buried is the real issue."

"I originally didn't want to intervene..."

Uchiha Madara shook his head, a pale blue skeleton gradually appearing around him, a chilling chakra suddenly bursting from his body, his face revealing an arrogant smile: "Kid, you're the one who initiated the /Bleam
