Chapter 145: I Heard You Were Looking for Me?

Drip, drip.

Blood flowed from his scapula, dripping continuously down his left arm.

Unlike the initial White Zetsu body, Hagoromo Gengetsu had added many new components during the refinement process, making this clone almost indistinguishable from a real human body.

It could bleed, and it could feel fatigue.

Therefore...

Hagoromo Gengetsu stomped his foot, wiping away the blood on the ground, and looked up at Uchiha Itachi not far away.

This was different from the enemies he had faced before on Mount Katsuragi.

Even though Might Guy had opened the Seven Gates of the Eight Gates, his single-minded attack methods were entirely captured by the Mangekyō Sharingan, making it relatively easy for Hagoromo Gengetsu to handle.

Now, facing Uchiha Itachi, who not only possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan but had an extra eye compared to himself.

Coupled with his familiarity with the Mangekyō Sharingan, possessing dual Mangekyō techniques, and even the Susanoo.

To some extent, Itachi was a significant counter to this clone that relied heavily on the Sharingan.

After all, White Zetsu was famous because it could exert most of a deceased person's strength when combined with the Reanimation technique.

As for White Zetsu itself, just like the performance of the one hundred thousand White Zetsu army, its own strength was not particularly outstanding.

Even though Hagoromo Gengetsu had modified this White Zetsu clone and installed a Mangekyō Sharingan, the actual strength it could display was still limited.

"In that case, let the original body come."

After the recent clash of illusions had yielded good results in his Yin Release, Hagoromo Gengetsu, not wanting this clone to be scrapped, moved his gaze.

The next second.

Just as Uchiha Itachi was about to strike while Gengetsu was injured.

A deafening sonic boom erupted in the sky.

Itachi stopped abruptly, looking up.

Under the blazing sun, a figure enveloped in golden light, dazzlingly bright, leaped from the mountain beside them.

In the intense friction with the air.

In just an instant.

With a thunderous boom.

The ground shook violently, creating a massive crater in front of Itachi.

Smoke surged like a dragon.

As for the masked man's purpose in pretending to be Uchiha Madara and hiding behind the Akatsuki.

Itachi hadn't figured it out yet, and there was no time to think about it.

Now, all his focus was on Hagoromo Gengetsu.

The legendary strength of the Warring States trio was much stronger than he had imagined.

Moreover, Gengetsu had arrived very quickly.

Was it because the base was nearby?

Itachi did not forget his true purpose here was Sasuke.

But now, it seemed leaving wouldn't be easy.

In that case, he would experience the might of the man truly on par with Uchiha Madara.

Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan began spinning rapidly.

"Another man who blindly believes in the power of the Sharingan."

Gengetsu, completely unhurried, calmly looked at Itachi and commented indifferently.

He didn't know why Itachi had the courage to stand before him.

Was it because of the Mangekyō Sharingan?

But Uchiha Izuna, who also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, had already fallen to Senju Tobirama's blade.

Uchiha Madara had also fallen to Senju Hashirama.

Although Itachi was an extraordinarily unique Uchiha.

Arrogance and self-righteousness were deeply ingrained in his bones.

Whether it was provoking Sasuke with hatred time and again without revealing the truth or coming here alone now, it all confirmed this.

"Perfect, there's still another Mangekyō Sharingan needed here."

Hagoromo Gengetsu waved his hand, and the clone that no longer needed to stay here instantly moved, returning to the base.

Itachi glanced in the direction the clone left, quickly withdrawing his gaze.

Although he wanted to retrieve Shisui's other Mangekyō Sharingan, now was not the time.

Only the two remained on the field.

Gengetsu looked at Itachi, calmly extending his hand and inviting:

"Make your move."

"Let me see the full strength of the man who exterminated the Uchiha clan."
