The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 2 Chapter 62 Sasuke Vs Itachi
Itachi calmly looked at Sasuke “I heard that you killed Deidara. good. now you are ready to face me”. Sasuke looked at him “go on. I’ll listen to you for your last words for a while”.
Sasuke suddenly found himself back on that night and as shown how their clan was killed again. Then he further explained how he met one of the founders of the village Madara Uchiha and annihilated his clan for his Mngekyou sharingan. But unlike Itachi expected, Sasuke didn’t get riled up and continue listening while closing his eyes and concentrating on something.
Then, he opened his eyes. he has yellow, snake-like irides and blackened sclerae, as well as purple pigmentation around his eyes.
He looked at Itachi who was surprised with his transformation “Just like you asked. I’ve gained enough power before facing you again. But, I didn’t go down the path you showed me instead I created my own path”.
Itachi smiled slightly upon hearing that. Instantly, Sasuke loses his sage mode and he starts to panic. “What’s happening?”. Itachi replied “so, this is the so-called your own path?. Before this eye it’s useless”. His changed to mangekyou sharingan and made Sasuke believed that it was that eye’s ability.
Then, Itachi explains to Sasuke the secret behind the Mangekyo Sharingan and the history of the Uchiha clan. Besides being able to tame the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Mangekyo will eventually rob the user of his eyesight and the only way to overcome this obstacle is to steal the Sharingan eyes of that person’s sibling.
Sasuke retaliates against Itachi’s assaults, but he is eventually pinned to a wall and has one of his eyes seemingly stolen by Itachi. As Itachi moves in to take his remaining eye, Sasuke manages to overcome the Tsukuyomi he was placed under.
With Genjutsu now useless, the brothers switch to Ninjutsu, with Sasuke gaining the upper hand by using Orochimaru’s cursed mark as he can’t go into sage mode while moving. While both of released Greatfireball jutsu, Itachi then unleashes Amaterasu completely absorbing it and the flames went toward Sasuke however, Sasuke uses a Substitution Jutsu to escape the flames.
Eventually, Sasuke went into a disadvantage and Itachi berates Sasuke, claiming he now has no chakra left, but Sasuke reveals that he had come prepared, and has one last technique left that would make his dream of killing Itachi a reality.
elsewhere the shadow clone which was sitting far away from the battle disappeared. Itachi was once again surprised by seeing his transformation. Sasuke looked at him “From the start, I’m battling you with half of my chakra. and now with this Sage mode and my chakra, I’m going to unleash my greatest jutsu.
Be prepared. After this, you will be no more Itachi. he started to draw natural lightning directly from thunder clouds to supplement the power of his strike and controls it with chakra. Unlike most techniques, which are based on the user’s chakra, this one uses natural lightning.
because of the earlier fire jutsu and Amaterasu, it made easy for him to draw the clouds. Powerful natural lightning in the shape of a dragon attacked Itachi from the clouds. After a while, Sasuke who was kneeling because of the burden. his sage mode gone while he’s looking at the rubble before him.
He smiled “finally, Itachi is dead”. But just then, Itachi slowly stood up weakly. his eyes were bleeding. Sasuke was shocked “how are you still alive?”. Itachi replied weakly “Well, you probably didn’t see it when I was attacked”. Then he started to mumble “If I use it again, I will die. well, It was already fated that way I guess. moreover, I need to extract that guy out”.
He looked at Sasuke “since you were so curious, I’ll show you my ultimate jutsu again”. Red skeletons started to form around him and slowly an Orange humanoid body appeared with a sword and a Shield.
Inside of Sasuke, a voice kept whispering. “come on. use me now. don’t restrict yourself. your chakra is low. your sage mode is also gone. you have nothing against him”. Sasuke screamed for a while and a giant white Eight headed serpent came out of him. One of its mouths, Orochimaru appeared when Itachi beheaded all of his seven heads.
Itachi looked at him “this bas***d, he didn’t die even after Shuichi killed him”. Orochimaru started to speak “Kabuto did great by sending him to that place. for a while, I was able to grow stronger and stronger by feeding on his senjutsu chakra. thanks to you, the repressing chakra on Sasuke is gone. now I can finally take over his body. hahaha”.
Itachi pierced him with totsuka blade and completely sealed him. After that while coughing out blood, he started to walk towards Sasuke who became weak upon Orochimaru and his chakra leaving even stripping off his sharingan while making his chakra levels empty.
He was panicked in fear and threw explosive tags and various things he had toward Itachi but too bad for him, nothing worked and he was back down into the wall while Itachi reached him.
He closed his eyes in instinct while fearing his eyes would be taken away, but Itachi just poked him in the forehead “you have become stronger Sasuke”. he opened his eyes to see Itachi who was coughing blood from his mouth while smiling “goodbye Sasuke and thankyou”.
he collapsed and died after saying that. As the battle was over, exhaustion took over him and eventually he too fainted beside him. Zetsu while looking at him “hmm, Obito is right. this kid has some potential. He can replace Itachi”.
Elsewhere, Tobi who was playing with Team Kakashi stopped when Zetsu informs him that Sasuke killed Itachi. Tobi instantly changes his behaviour and looks at Kakashi with his sharingan leaving him surprised “We’ll battle some other time kakashi” and he slowly disappears in front of everyone using his Kamui.
When Naruto and others reached the site where the battle was ended, they didn’t found either Itachi’s body and Sasuke making them think it was that Akatsuki guy who took both of them.
Meanwhile, at Konoha, Ino is reading the paper which has information about someone after stealing it from her father secretly and was shocked after reading it. “so, the Reaper is none other than Shuichi?”.
Then, she mumbled “something must have happened after his teammates’ deaths which made him take a decision like that. Just what happened to you?. What should I do to make you come back?”. Then, she remembers Asuma and the battle between kakuzu and Naruto while she was just standing behind the back and only healed him at the end.
She clutched her fist “my Yamanaka jutsus, or my medical ninjutsu helped nothing when Asuma sensei was killed by that guy. I wasn’t even helpful when Naruto and others battled Kakuzu.
My medical skills are average which won’t help much. Even I wasn’t able to anything other than feeling depressed when Shuichi disappeared and joined Akatsuki. At the very least Sakura was trying but what am I doing?”.
Meanwhile, at Mt. Kuma, Shuichi was fighting with two beasts which have six tails each. they are completely red in colour who are gold and silver brothers in six tailed- version 2 form. Shuichi who has a vertical slit-like fox in his eye other than his ash eye laughing widely “yes, this is it. no, lets this make this fight even more exciting”.
Instantly he became a dark brownish-purple beast with six tails just like them. there’s also a hint of red chakra here and there. He spoke with a loud roar and dashed towards the two beasts who were running towards him and punched them at the same time.
After fighting for a while, He ordered: “let’s test Bijuu Dama shall we?”. They each started to gather chakra while he too doing the same. they both fired at him, and He too Fired the Bijuu dama at them.
Meanwhile, Toma, the black bear elder looking at them fighting “wow, Shuichi changes his behaviour when he goes into that mode. well, that’s better than his fake polite speech or that cold expression of his. Hmm, oh its Bijuu dama but it doesn’t seem that big”. When he saw all of them fired, He mumbled in a slight irritating voice “this brat. was he trying to blow this place?”.
