Chapter 340 Sasuke: Uchiha Itachi, I will never walk the path you laid out for me!
"Sassy!"
"One against seven!"
In the end, both Sasuke and Itachi had reached the point of desperation.
One was already terminally ill, while the other had not yet fully matured.
Despite his exhaustion, Sasuke forced his Susanoo to launch a final attack.
The purple Susanoo giant drew his bow and fired an arrow forward.
Uchiha Itachi simply threw the Yasaka Magatama from his intuition.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
The purple arrow pierced through space and shot straight toward the orange Susanoo giant.
The orange Yasaka Magatama, however, brushed past the purple Susanoo Giant, tracing a strange arc as it hurtled towards the sky.
"This time, it's really over!"
Sasuke watched as the orange Susanoo giant opposite him gradually dissipated.
The ferret fell from the sky.
Dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain fell from the sky.
Rain washed over the ground, which was ravaged by the battle.
Sasuke dragged his tired body toward Itachi Uchiha.
Rainwater washed over Itachi and Sasuke's bodies.
The weasel lay on the ground, gazing up at the sky, his life force rapidly fading away.
Clearly, he was on his deathbed.
"I didn't expect you to have grown to this level. Even I am no match for you."
"Hmph, taking on seven people at once. Did you ever imagine that you would have such a day when you destroyed your family?"
"Cough cough!"
Uchiha Itachi coughed twice, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his voice became much hoarse.
"My fate? Heh, I've already foreseen it. For someone like me, death is an inevitable end."
"Hmph, at least you have a bit of foresight."
"However, Sasuke, there is one last thing I want to give you."
"thing."
"Gagaga~!"
A crow flew in from a distance and flew straight toward Sasuke.
And in one of the crow's eyes, a scarlet light shone.
Although the process was different from what I expected, it was enough.
"I'm sorry, Sasgei, this is the last time."
Just as the crow flew up in front of Sasuke.
Suddenly, a large hand resembling the skeleton of Susanoo appeared and grabbed the crow.
"what!"
Itachi, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.
"Hmph, you want to control me? Dream on!"
Sasuke crushed the crow to death with one swipe, then reached out and gouged out the crow's eye from its socket.
What he had gouged out was a Sharingan eye.
Sasuke said, holding the Sharingan in his hand.
"Shisui told me that before he gave up his own self, he gave one of his Sharingan eyes to you, hoping that you could inherit his will and mediate the relationship between the village and the family."
Unfortunately, you went against Brother Zhishui's will.
And now, you actually want to use Shisui's eye to rewrite my will.
I'm telling you, you're dreaming!
"Uchiha Itachi, I will never walk the path you laid out for me!"
The Sharingan held in Sasuke's hand is the Mangekyou Sharingan Kotoamatsukami that Shisui gave to Itachi before he jumped off the cliff.
In Itachi's original plan, he would use the Sharingan's power to rewrite Sasuke's will, allowing Sasuke to return to Konoha and once again become a bridge between the Uchiha and Konoha.
Unexpectedly, even his final plan was seen through.
“You have defied Shisui’s will; you are not worthy to possess this Sharingan.”
“Sass, you can’t be so stubborn anymore. The Uchiha clan shouldn’t be this narrow-minded.”
Go back to Konoha and once again become a bridge between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
Even after all that, despite the failure of his plan to rewrite Sasuke's mind using Kotoamatsukami, Itachi hadn't given up on persuading Sasuke to return to Konoha.
"Hmph, I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion Konoha has given you, that you're still thinking about Konoha even now."
However, none of that matters. I'll tell you the truth: I will return to Konoha. Not just me, but also Shisui, Izumi, and everyone else.
However, we are not going back as a bridge or link.
We will fight back in the name of the Uchiha!
Konoha was created jointly by the Uchiha and Senju clans.
The Senju clan has vanished, so as the founders of Konoha, it is only right and proper for us to reclaim what is ours!
Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened as he struggled to get up.
"No, it shouldn't be like this, Sass, I abandoned my entire clan to save you, you shouldn't be like this!"
"Who I am is not for you to decide. Itachi, it's time to go. Your name will not be on the family tree in the future."
"puff!"
Sasuke's last words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Exhausted and near death, Itachi Uchiha could no longer bear this fate and collapsed.
He couldn't close his eyes until he died.
Looking at the dead Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke didn't react much. Under Tetsuya's tutelage, he had long since honed his mental fortitude to a high degree of calm. At this moment, he only felt relieved, as if the burden that had been weighing on his shoulders had finally been lifted.
"Om~!"
Space distorted, and a figure wearing a yellow vortex mask and a black robe with red clouds quietly appeared.
"Congratulations! You've won. You've won the final victory in this battle."
Sasuke stared at the guy who had appeared out of nowhere, his Sharingan already locking onto the figure.
"There's no need to be so murderous towards me. Besides, although you won this battle, you're also seriously injured. It's probably not very likely that you can kill me now."
Obito continued to deceive.
"Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you. On the contrary, we might even become friends."
Sasuke simply shut down his Sharingan and walked towards Itachi's corpse.
"I have no interest in making friends with people of dubious origin."
"Oh, really? Well, I have something to tell you, and perhaps you'd be interested in hearing it."
Sasuke remained unmoved and began to clean up Itachi's corpse.
"Not interested? Hmm, perhaps I should put it this way: I have something about Itachi Uchiha that you might be interested in."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke stopped moving.
Seeing this, Obito, hidden beneath his mask, revealed a smug smile.
Sure enough, just mentioning Uchiha Itachi would calm this guy down.
If I can brainwash Uchiha Sasuke, then implementing my plans in the future will definitely be much easier.
That's right, Obito also had his own plans.
His plan was to find another accomplice to kick Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu out of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.
Becoming a god in the new world is something that only one person can achieve.
However, to get rid of them, I need a suitable teammate.
