Hokage: Ryo’s Path Chapter 473

“I said it again for the last time. Now answer me, why did you kill our Clansman? Who are your accomplices? What do you mean by those words in Genjutsu space before you left!”
Itachi made an expression to remember, “Clansman? Oh yeah, I’ve almost forgotten that stupid race. Do you still need help to kill those stupid people?”
Sasuke coldly snorted, “Itachi, with your strength, you can’t break through the defense alone and kill that many. Not to mention the Great Elder, the strongest within the clan at the time, and Anbu Ninja outside the clan.”
Itachi laughed and said, “It looks like you found out. Yes, someone did help me at the beginning.”
“Who is it?!”
“Uchiha Madara!”
Hearing this familiar but unfamiliar name, Sasuke thought for a moment, remembering the statue at the Valley of the End, The Shodai Hokage, and the Clansman’s attitude towards Uchiha Madara.
“Impossible, Uchiha Madara is dead! There’s no way he’s still alive!”
“The world always believes in what they want to believe and regards it as the truth. But the truth is often not as simple as you know.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means Uchiha Madara is not dead. He survived the battle with Shodai Hokage, has been lurking in the dark and founded Akatsuki!”
Sasuke was stunned after hearing this. Chidori Stream was stabbed at Itachi’s stone chair.
“Shut up! I don’t want to listen to your ghost words anymore!”
……
White Zetsu spied secretly. Itachi and Sasuke were motionless for a long time. Sasuke’s first attack actually missed.
“Hey! Black Zetsu, what happened?”
“It’s Genjutsu. When Sasuke uses Chidori.Stream, both of them were using Genjutsu to probe each other’s Genjutsu, but it looks like they should be on the same level for Genjutsu,” Black Zetsu explained.
Black White Zetsu started to talk when Yamanaka Ryo, who was hiding in time and space to see the “play,” and found them. Their hiding place is in the building, relying on White Zetsu’s puppet technique and the building to integrate. With this, even if someone uses strong dojutsu, they can’t find them.
Unfortunately, they were discovered by Yamanaka Ryo from his “God’s perspective”. However, Yamanaka Ryo was not in the mood to deal with them right now because the battle between Itachi and Sasuke has officially started.
……..
After they used Genjutsu to probe each other, they had a certain understanding of the strength of their opponent. They threw shuriken towards their opponent at the same time. The two shurikens collided in the sky released sparks from the collision, then dropped to the ground at the same time.
The landing of the two shurikens was like a signal for Itachi and Sasuke to throw shuriken on the other side at speed invisible to naked eyes.
The sky shuriken fluttered, sparks splashed, and the ground was gradually covered with torn shuriken.
“Sasuke, you are really becoming stronger. It looks like today’s match will be more interesting than I thought.” After speaking, the three tomoe connection in Itachi’s eyes opened Mangekyō.
Sasuke avoided Itachi’s eyes and did not look at him. Itachi took this chance, and he appeared in front of Sasuke with Body Flicker Technique and kicked Sasuke.
This is something that Sasuke “experiences”. But not with Black White Zetsu.
“Black Zetsu, are they competing using Genjutsu again?”
Black Zetsu shakes his head, “This time, it is not a competition. Itachi uses Mangekyou Sharingan’s Genjutsu Tsukuyomi. Sasuke does not have Mangekyō, and this battle should be over soon.”
In Sasuke’s consciousness space, he was kicked to the wall by Itachi, and Itachi immediately appeared in front of him. The continuous attack made Sasuke lose his power for a while.
Itachi put one hand on Sasuke’s eyes and said, “I haven’t answered your last question. What I meant when I’m leaving you? Now I’ll tell you the answer. I really hope that you will be triggered to open Mangekyō because this is my only chance to regain my light.”
“Regain your light? What the hell do you mean?” Sasuke asked.
“It seems Father didn’t tell you anything. Also, you don’t even have Mangekyō, maybe because that is the reason that Father hasn’t told you yet…”
“…Since he didn’t say it, I’ll tell you as a big brother. Mangekyou Sharingan is a special Dojutsu. From the day Mangekyou Sharingan is opened, the use of Mangekyō will gradually weaken your eyes, and one day it will become blind. The only way to solve this problem is to change my eyes and change it with my brother’s eyes. Sasuke, your eyes are my only hope to see the light again…” He lowered his tone, and Itachi’s finger touched Sasuke’s right eye.
What Itachi didn’t expect was that Sasuke didn’t scream and didn’t do anything else. He was just there with a lonely expression.
Sasuke murmured to himself, “So that’s the reason, I’m really stupid. That’s fine, I can finally make a firm resolution… I’ll kill you!”
After Sasuke launched his curse seal, the fusion of Sharingan and the Genjutsu space gradually melted away. ꟷAs Genjutsu’s space disappeared, Itachi covered his left eye. His expression was full of surprise.
White Zetsu was also surprised, “He suddenly cracked the Tsukuyomi? How is it possible! How could ordinary Sharingan crack Itachi’s Tsukuyomi?!”
“In the end, Sharingan is just Ninja’s weapon. It’s the user’s ability that can manifest and bring their weapon to full power. Like how an average person who uses shuriken can be defeated by someone who can use stone as a proper weapon. In Sasuke’s case, he used Chakra fluctuations.” Black Zetsu explained.
“Itachi, since the beginning, you said Mangekyō this, Mangekyō that, it seems that you really admire these eyes!”
“People who don’t have Mangekyō cannot appreciate the power of Mangekyō.”
“Who said I don’t have Mangekyō?” Saying that, the three tomoe in Sasuke’s eyes pattern in the pupil turned into a six-pointed star after a while.
“Hey! Black Zetsu! Sasuke even has Mangekyō.”
For the first time, Black Zetsu showed a surprised look, “I didn’t expect Sasuke to have Mangekyou Sharingan.”
Itachi looked at Sasuke’s Mangekyō, went silent, and then said solemnly, “You’ve opened Mangekyou Sharingan. It seems that you and I have witnessed the death of the person who is most important to us… I am curious. Who is that?”
“The same as you? My Mangekyō didn’t awaken that way! Enough talking! Let me show you the power of Mangekyō.” Sasuke said with a low voice.
Itachi felt darkness before his eyes. The next time he opened his eyes, he found himself entangled by a giant snake. Itachi froze and struggled to keep his subconscious, but as soon as he struggled, the snake seemed to sense something and began to tighten immediately. The huge pressure made Itachi feel a little difficult to breathe.
In reality, Itachi just stood there stupidly.
As Sasuke pulled the Katana out, he slowly moved towards Itachi to prepare to end his life.
