Might Guy was just wondering if opening the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates could break the opponent's Susanoo, but he didn't expect Kakashi to still be hiding a trump card.
"A special kind of long-range attack. If used properly, it should be able to change the current situation," Kakashi held his breath and focused, gathering the last of the chakra in his body, barely evolving his Three Tomoe Sharingan into the Mangekyō Sharingan state.
Was it extremely powerful perception? Or some other kind of ninjutsu?
It actually ignored the explosion of the explosive tags, and also ignored the vision-obscuring smoke, effortlessly capturing him?
Uchiha Itachi was slightly surprised.
But fortunately, after also using Susanoo, at least he wasn't crushed instantly by the opponent's Susanoo hand.
The coffee-colored Susanoo was gradually expanding, and slowly pried open the fingers of the skeletal Susanoo that was gripping his body.
Seizing the moment when the opponent's Susanoo was being forced open, Uchiha Itachi quickly used the Crow Substitution Technique, escaping the opponent's grip.
Plap!
His real body turned into over a dozen crows and disappeared from the original spot, then reappeared elsewhere.
"This guy… using the Mangekyō Sharingan without any burden?"
After escaping danger, Uchiha Itachi shed blood tears from his Mangekyō Sharingan due to using Susanoo.
In contrast, the opponent still looked completely unaffected, just like before.
"Could it be, his Mangekyō was already…"
'Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?'
No wonder he said pupil power varies in strength.
However, thinking about this now is useless. He can only find a way to quickly end the fight.
Only using the Mangekyō twice, Uchiha Itachi already felt his vision begin to blur.
This was a sign of declining eyesight.
The battle must end quickly.
Buzz!
Once again activating his Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi summoned his Susanoo again.
The tall Susanoo began to materialize around him, this time fully formed, not partial.
His Susanoo held the Yata Mirror as a shield in its left hand and the Totsuka Blade as a weapon in its right, looking particularly unique.
"So, you've finally decided to fight head-on?", Uchiha Kage glanced around.
Kakashi's ninja shard had already dropped, but the shards of the previously deceased didn't appear.
'Looks like Edo Tensei ninja can't drop ninja shards.'
No wonder, after all, ninja shards need to integrate into a living person's body. Mixing them with Edo Tensei isn't acceptable.
"You've repeatedly intruded into Konoha, causing me a lot of trouble. Today, it ends here."
Uchiha Itachi still thought the masked man in front of him was the same Obito from before.
Controlling his Susanoo to raise the Totsuka Blade, Uchiha Itachi pierced straight through Uchiha Kage's Susanoo and his body.
But he failed to activate the Totsuka Blade's unique sealing technique.
"Didn't expect this guy's ability could even phase through Susanoo…"
The Totsuka Blade didn't hit the opponent's real body.
"Your weapon is mine now."
After integrating Kakashi's ninja shard, Uchiha Kage's Susanoo finally completed its second stage.
'Kamui!'
Grabbing Susanoo Itachi's wrist, Uchiha Kage directly used Kamui to cut off the opponent's hand and the Totsuka Blade it held.
"This ability…"
Watching the twisted-away Susanoo arm and the Totsuka Blade, Kakashi, still looking for a proper angle, immediately realized something.
"Don't even think about it!"
Amaterasu!
The moment his Susanoo's arm was cut off, Uchiha Itachi, stunned, quickly reacted, immediately casting Amaterasu's black flames onto the disappearing Totsuka Blade.
This way, even if the weapon was taken, the opponent wouldn't be able to use it.
"So stingy."
Even with Amaterasu attached, Uchiha Kage still transferred Uchiha Itachi's Totsuka Blade into his own dimension.
Once he could control Amaterasu's black flames in the future, the Totsuka Blade would be usable again.
"No wonder he made Father despair. This guy's ability is really too troublesome."
To prevent his Yata Mirror from being stolen by that strange ability, Uchiha Itachi had no choice but to once again put away his Susanoo halfway through.
"Now I can only bet on this final move."
Although the Totsuka Blade had been drawn into the spatial vortex by the opponent's power, this was also the best opportunity to attack the opponent's real body.
Uchiha Itachi pressed two fingers together in front of him, then transformed into countless crows flying toward Uchiha Kage's body.
"So slow. What's the point of you arriving over here?"
Facing the overwhelming flock of crows, Uchiha Kage showed no sign of disturbance on his face.
Until he saw a unique crow with a Mangekyō Sharingan.
"This is?"
"This is the trump card entrusted to me by the Third Hokage to deal with you."
Kotoamatsukami!
The crow hidden in his sleeve finally came into play. The moment Uchiha Itachi's and Uchiha Kage's eyes met, he activated the pupil jutsu carried within that Mangekyō Sharingan.
"You really are thorough."
'This Akatsuki Itachi is too cunning.'
However, Uchiha Kage had long anticipated he might face Kotoamatsukami today. Even though he didn't believe Kotoamatsukami would truly affect him, just to be safe, Uchiha Kage also activated a forbidden technique he had sealed in his other eye long ago.
Izanagi!
At the cost of one Three Tomoe Sharingan going blind, it could turn events unfavorable to oneself within a period of time into something that never happened, and choose only advantageous outcomes to become reality.
"Dis… disappeared?"
The moment Kotoamatsukami activated, Uchiha Itachi was shocked to find the masked man in front of him had vanished.
Did that guy dodge with a Body Flicker?
No, there's no way Kotoamatsukami would miss…
Moreover, the way he disappeared wasn't like a Body Flicker at all.
"Sorry. Your tactic was pretty decent, but it was also within my expectations."
Using Izanagi, Uchiha Kage successfully rewrote the fact that he was hit by Kotoamatsukami, and suddenly reappeared in front of Uchiha Itachi.
BANG!
Short-range punch! Knee strike! Elbow hit!
After a combo of taijutsu attacks, Uchiha Itachi was soon beaten black and blue and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the crow with Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan was also collected by Uchiha Kage.
Although the pupil power was gone, maybe it could be restored one day by nurturing it with Hashirama's cells.
"If it weren't for…"
Looking at Uchiha Itachi, who couldn't get up for the moment, Uchiha Kage was about to say something mocking when he sensed a strange spatial vortex.
Kamui!
But this Kamui didn't come from Uchiha Kage, it came from Kakashi not far away.
"Pointless, Kakashi."
Easily restoring the spatial vortex that almost twisted off his head to normal, Uchiha Kage couldn't help but want to laugh.
Now Kakashi was probably ten thousand percent sure he was Uchiha Obito, right?
"Obito! So you really are still alive! But why…"
After using Kamui once, Kakashi's body collapsed from exhaustion onto Might Guy's shoulder.
"Kakashi…"
'Is that guy really Obito?'
Might Guy, carrying the unconscious Kakashi on his shoulder, also looked at the masked man ahead, shocked and doubtful.
"I was going to play a little more with you guys, but looks like there's no time."
Uchiha Kage looked toward the Death Forest, where explosions suddenly rang out in the distance. It looked like Gaara had already released Shukaku.
Who knows whether Naruto and Sasuke could handle it…
'Wait?'
'That's…'
Just as Uchiha Kage was thinking about what last thing he could do, the shadow clone he had left behind in Konoha suddenly sent back news about Samui.
'That woman really doesn't know how to behave.'
Shaking his head, Uchiha Kage ignored everyone nearby and directly vanished from the spot in a swirl of space.
But before leaving, he took Uchiha Shisui nearby with him as well.
It was time to let this kid meet the rest of the Uchiha clan that had been wiped out in that space.
Surely the dead would have much to talk about with the dead.
As for the others here, there's always time later to deal with them slowly.
Uchiha Kage wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Hey! Don't think you can run!", Terumi Mei, who had been watching the whole fight, was shocked by the battle just now, but seeing this hateful masked man about to leave, she couldn't help but chase after him.
But no matter how hard she tried, the opponent had already disappeared completely into the air.
"Damn it!"
Unable to find any trace of the enemy, Terumi Mei angrily punched the ground.
"Thank goodness, that terrifying masked man is finally gone…"
Now there's no need to summon the Kage either.
Watching the powerful enemy leave, Kurenai Yuhi let out a small sigh of relief.
But, someone even the Second Hokage, Kakashi, and Uchiha Itachi couldn't defeat… was that really the same loser Uchiha Obito from before?
———
"Hurry! Get out of here! Once you return to the Hidden Cloud, be sure to tell Lord Raikage…"
Effortlessly breaking into Konoha's prison guarded by only a few people, Samui quickly found the place where her three disciples were being held.
"Konoha and Sunagakure are at war. Orochimaru is fighting Hiruzen Sarutobi. Konoha is extremely vulnerable right now! But… there's one Uchiha ninja you must be especially cautious of…"
