Chapter 285: Itachi's Defeat and Death

Uchiha Madara's spirit was somewhat excited!

As a militant, killing an annoying junior and demonstrating the ultimate power of the Uchiha to those present was something he enjoyed!

A deep blue chakra erupted from Uchiha Madara, forming a towering Susanoo. A sickly madness appeared on his face!Updated chapters at novelhall.com

This chakra...

Made all the Uchihas involuntarily feel a deep sense of fear!

Uchiha Itachi also felt uneasy, because the Totsuka Blade carried a deadly sealing genjutsu. Anyone struck by it should be drawn into an illusionary world of drunken dreams!

However...

Uchiha Madara's will was astonishingly strong! The genjutsu of the Totsuka Blade was easily seen through by such a person, and he even possessed the will to resist it. The stronger his will to resist the Totsuka Blade, the harder it was for the blade to absorb him into its gourd...

Uchiha Itachi watched the blazing light emanating from the Totsuka Blade. The light remained embedded in Uchiha Madara, but he had already gained the upper hand: "I have the advantage; the sealing power of the Totsuka Blade is absolute and cannot be resisted..."

"That's not entirely wrong..."

Uchiha Madara's mouth curled into a slight smile. The blue Susanoo extended two more arms, making it appear extremely bizarre!

The two arms of the blue Susanoo firmly grasped the blazing light of the Totsuka Blade, doing everything possible to prevent Uchiha Madara's body from being sealed!

"The legendary sealing power of the Totsuka Blade is indeed invincible..."

Uchiha Madara disdainfully looked at Uchiha Itachi's red Susanoo, then suddenly sneered: "But I have a curious question... Can the Susanoo wielding the Totsuka Blade last long enough to seal my body?"

"!!!"

Uchiha Itachi was shocked.

If his red Susanoo was broken by Uchiha Madara, the Totsuka Blade would not have time to seal him and would disappear immediately...

However, as the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the third form of Susanoo was his limit; its defense was said to be invincible...

Until now...

Uchiha Itachi had only seen Akihara Kagura break through Susanoo's defense.

"Your weapon is indeed good."

Uchiha Madara stood inside the head of the blue Susanoo, looking down haughtily at Uchiha Itachi inside the red Susanoo: "If you had a pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, even I might find it troublesome and annoying..."

"Unfortunately..."

A look of regret appeared on Uchiha Madara's face. His hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and the blue Susanoo expanded once again!

A Susanoo as tall as a mountain lifted the roof and stood on the land once owned by the Uchiha!

The complete Susanoo, over a hundred meters tall, appeared with clasped hands. The armor of chakra immediately covered its body!

This was a true demon god!

Uchiha Madara stood within a crystal on the forehead of this demon, his face full of arrogance and battle intent. Every use of Susanoo brought him immense confidence!

Whether it was Uchiha Shisui's green Susanoo of Uchiha Itachi's red giant Susanoo, in front of the blue complete Susanoo, they were like immature children, seemingly easy to crush!

"Is this a joke..."

"This level of Susanoo..."

One by one, the Uchihas looked up in horror. There was no place left for them to stay in this warehouse. If they stayed, they might die from the collateral damage of the battle!

The blue Susanoo stood towering!

Even the outside observers, Hoshigaki Kisame and Karin, saw this scene!

Hoshigaki Kisame tightly gripped his Samehada sword, while Karin remained calm because she had witnessed Akihara Kagura's True Several Thousand Hands.

However...

Those facing the blue Susanoo would not remain calm.

"..."

Uchiha Itachi was terrified!

This usually calm man couldn't hold back, desperately manipulating the red Susanoo's arms to pull back, trying to seal Uchiha Madara as quickly as possible!

The light of the Totsuka Blade was still embedded in Uchiha Madara, but part of it was stuck in the crystal of the blue Susanoo, unable to move!

"This is the complete form of Susanoo."

Uchiha Madara stood in the crystal of the complete Susanoo, looking down coldly at the red Susanoo below: "Even a child with a sharp weapon is just a child to an adult, easily dealt with..."

"Such a pity."

Uchiha Madara controlled Susanoo to slowly draw a giant katana, slashing it towards Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo!

Boom!

Uchiha Itachi manipulated Susanoo to raise the Yata Mirror!

This divine weapon was renowned for its defense, and he could only use the Yata Mirror to block the blue Susanoo's blade. The third form of Susanoo couldn't move flexibly!

The moment the Yata Mirror and the blue katana clashed, a powerful shockwave erupted, sending everyone flying! The entire Uchiha clan's old base was leveled instantly!

Even those outside, Karin and Hoshigaki Kisame, felt the intense shock, and their bodies were thrown back!

However...

One person remained as steady as a mountain.

Akihara Kagura stood on the flattened ground, gently raising his hand.

Vines sprouted from the ground, catching all the Root ninjas, ensuring everyone landed safely!

"Lord Kagura!"

The Uchihas present finally found their backbone.

Akihara Kagura glanced at Sasuke beside him and asked, "I see his body seems to be giving out. Although Uchiha Itachi might be heartless, he is still your brother..."

"..."

Sasuke turned his head away impatiently.

"Let's go. I'll accompany you to see him."

Akihara Kagura led Sasuke step by step toward Uchiha Itachi, speaking softly, "No matter what, I have known him since we were ten..."

The crowd parted to make way.

Uchiha Itachi watched Sasuke approach step by step, ignoring Akihara Kagura beside him, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

"Uchiha Itachi."

Sasuke looked at Itachi coldly, his voice icy. "At this point, do you have any last words?"

"Cough, cough..."

Blood was still pouring from Uchiha Itachi's mouth. His gaze fixed on Uchiha Sasuke, and he surprisingly revealed a relieved smile: "I'm sorry, Sasuke..."

"If your last words are an apology, then there's no need to say them."

Uchiha Sasuke coldly rejected Itachi's apology, showing no regard for it. His eyes even showed more disgust: "It's a pity I didn't defeat you with my own hands. I had meticulously prepared a technique to bury you..."

"Sorry..."

Uchiha Itachi seemed to still want to maintain his politeness.

"It seems to be a deathbed confession..."

Akihara Kagura tilted his head, waved to Uchiha Sasuke beside him, and said: "Alright, let me talk to Uchiha Itachi next. As his former comrade and enemy, let me send him off. Everyone else, step back!"

"Yes."

A group of Uchiha members retreated swiftly.

Even Uchiha Sasuke left the scene.

Uchiha Madara, obviously insensitive to the situation, stood nearby, watching them with great interest, seemingly wanting to hear what Akihara Kagura had to say to Uchiha Itachi.

"Are you satisfied with Sasuke's life?"

Akihara Kagura's lips curled into a slight smile. He continued, smiling: "If nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will likely stay in the Root division for his life, perhaps becoming the third leader of Root, continuing to protect Konoha alongside the surviving Uchiha..."

"..."

A glimmer of light appeared in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

"But..."

Akihara Kagura suddenly approached Uchiha Itachi slowly, a slight smile on his lips as he lowered his voice: "If I choose to tell him the truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre, letting him know that all those dead family and clan members died for his sake, and let the current survivors around him know that they ended up like this because his brother, Uchiha Itachi, chose to slaughter his clan and parents to let him live..."

"!!!"

Uchiha Itachi looked as if he had seen a devil!

If that happens, how could Uchiha Sasuke have a place to stand? How could this younger brother continue to stay among the clan members?

This younger brother...

Would be despised by all the clan members!

Perhaps this younger brother wouldn't even want to live anymore!

"Uchiha Itachi..."

"You have thrown Sasuke's life into the depths of hell."

Akihara Kagura placed his hand on Uchiha Itachi's neck, as if they were very close: "I personally rescued Sasuke from hell. I turned his dark future into a warm and bright one..."

"But..."

Akihara Kagura's smile grew stronger as he continued with a light chuckle: "I've heard an interesting theory. If a person in darkness gets a little warmth and then loses that warmth, it will drive them into an even more obsessive darkness..."

"You..."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Akihara Kagura with a face full of terror, his eyes filled with disbelief at what Akihara Kagura was saying!

Because...

Uchiha Itachi knew how severe it would be if this happened!

If Uchiha Sasuke only experienced the pain of losing his family and clan once but then gained their admiration again, and then was made to lose it all once more...

His younger brother would completely collapse!

Is this Akihara Kagura's scheme?

"Is this the revenge you want against me?"

Uchiha Itachi, trembling, looked at Akihara Kagura, with blood still on his lips, and pleaded in a low voice: "Don't drag Sasuke into our hatred..."

"Of course."

Akihara Kagura patted his shoulder, smiling as he spoke: "It all depends on your performance, Itachi. You don't want Sasuke to know the truth, right?"

"What do you want me to do..."

Uchiha Itachi, striving to pull himself together, asked in a deep voice: "There's nothing I can do to help you now. If you need, you can use Edo Tensei to bring me back..."

"What a coincidence."

"I also prepared a surprise resurrection for you."

Akihara Kagura slowly took a few steps back, waving goodbye to Uchiha Itachi: "Before that, mourn for your soon-to-end /Bleam
