Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Normally, upon hearing Sasuke say this, Naruto would definitely have a good argument with him.

But now, enveloped in surprise, he had no such thoughts at all.

"Sasuke, you..." Naruto, still very excited, wanted to say something more.

But Sasuke ignored him.

With Chidori still in his hand, Sasuke's Sharingan, now evolved into three-tomoe Sharingan, was coldly aimed at Kisame in front of him.

Steadying himself up, Kisame looked at those familiar Sharingan eyes and, as if seeing his partner Itachi, said with emotion, "You've improved since the last time we met."

Sasuke was silent.

He was, of course, aware that he had just evolved his Sharingan.

He hadn't planned to get involved in the fight between Naruto and Kisame, and had already left.

But as he walked, he heard the increasingly loud fighting sounds behind him, and a restless fire suddenly rose in his heart that he couldn't suppress.

Ultimately, for reasons I don't know, I turned back.

When he saw Naruto about to be struck by Samehada, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. Under the intense emotional stimulation, his two-tomoe magic evolved into three-tomoe magic, and he rushed out to save Naruto without thinking twice.

"Itachi would be very pleased to see you like this," Kisame suddenly said with a smile.

indeed.

The Uchiha clan was wiped out, and he personally experienced the Tsukuyomi twice. Anyone else would have evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan under such stimulation. However, all of this only kept Sasuke's Sharingan at the two-tomoe level. Itachi must have been very puzzled.

Normally, once a member of the Uchiha clan loses "love," they will be stimulated, awaken their Sharingan, and evolve.

For example, killing your closest friend, or experiencing the death of your closest loved one.

However, each Uchiha's understanding and emphasis on "love" is actually different.

Just like Sasuke now, who instantly evolved into the three-tomoe Sharingan because his comrades' lives were in great danger.

Even if Itachi died in front of him in the future, he did not immediately awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. Instead, he only truly awakened it after learning everything Itachi had done and the truth from Obito.

Repeating the night of the massacre will only fuel Sasuke's rage, but it will do nothing to advance the Sharingan.

Only by understanding what one truly loves can the Sharingan be elevated.

Kisame inadvertently helped Itachi this time.

"Don't mention that man's name in front of me!"

A cold glint flashed across Sasuke's face as he charged towards Kisame at high speed, carrying the light of Chidori.

"Sasuke, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Naruto couldn't wait to rush up, ready to team up with Sasuke again.

"The Sharingan and the Nine-Tails working together? Interesting."

Seeing Sasuke and Naruto rushing towards him from the left and right, Kisame formed hand seals and said:

"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"

One after another, shark-shaped water bullets appeared out of thin air and rushed toward the two of them at incredible speed.

"I see it! Everything is under control!"

With his Sharingan adorned with three tomoe, Sasuke, whose vision became incredibly clear and even slowed down, easily dodged the Water Shark Bullet attack. Ignoring Naruto's frantic efforts on the other side, he charged towards Kisame at the same speed.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan. But this is far from enough!"

Kisame, Itachi's partner and someone who knew a great deal about the Sharingan, grinned maliciously as he watched Sasuke charging confidently toward him.

Boom boom~~

The earth churned and the forest collapsed.

Sharp bones were continuously pulled from the ground, and with a series of sharp whistling sounds, the area within a hundred meters instantly turned into a terrifying forest of white bones.

Corpse Bone Vein - Dance of the Early Fern!

Accompanied by violent coughing and at a considerable cost, Kimimaro broke free from Itachi's normal genjutsu and unleashed his most powerful attack.

Upon seeing this scene, Itachi Uchiha, who was in the middle of it, did not hesitate, and the three tomoe on his Sharingan instantly transformed into Mangekyou Sharingan.

Boom~

A colossal, deep red upper body skeleton appeared, completely enveloping his entire body.

This is not over yet.

Soon, the deep red skeleton was rapidly covered with meridians and flesh, and continued to grow.

Faced with the relentless onslaught of the White Bone Forest, Itachi decisively activated Susanoo.

For the next few hours, the sounds of violent collisions echoed continuously.

The renowned Shikotsumyaku and Sharingan of the ninja world shone with their own unique brilliance.

Click.

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the crimson Susanoo.

As Itachi looked over, Kimimaro's figure suddenly appeared on the bone spur closest to the crack.

He held an enormous spiral bone spike in his hand and thrust it heavily into the crack in Susanoo.

boom!

A shattering sound rang out, and the heavily defended Susanoo was instantly torn open with a large gash.

Kimimaro was about to rush in and stab Itachi inside.

Itachi glanced in their direction expressionlessly, but did nothing more.

There is no need to do anything further.

"Cough cough cough..."

A cough that was far more heart-wrenching than before suddenly burst forth uncontrollably from Kimimaro's mouth.

With mouthfuls of black blood gushing out, he finally collapsed, unable to hold on any longer.

"ended."

Uchiha Itachi withdrew his Susanoo and calmly addressed Kimimaro.

"Yeah, it's over."

Kimimaro, no longer displaying his former charisma, glanced at the sky and spoke calmly.

The fact that he has been able to fight until now, despite being on the verge of death, is due not only to the effects of the medication but also to his unwavering willpower.

But everything has its limits.

The man in front of her was too powerful.

This is the limit of what he can do.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 68 People with the Same Fate

Kimimaro suffers from a congenital hereditary disease and is nearing the end of his life.

Itachi Uchiha realized this from the very beginning.

After all, the two look too alike.

They both possess powerful bloodline limits, both suffer from incurable diseases, and both are tormented by physical suffering.

The only difference is that Itachi Uchiha could still hold on for several more years, but Kimimaro was already on his last legs.

Arriving beside Kimimaro, and looking at this descendant of the Kaguya clan who, like the Uchiha, had been wiped out, and who was arguably the only remaining possessor of the Shikotsumyaku in the current ninja world, Itachi Uchiha seemed to see his own future reflected in him.

"Cough cough."

Kimimaro, who was already too weak to even cough, noticed Itachi Uchiha approaching and didn't linger any longer.

"I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru."

Finally, Kimimaro said this in his heart and circulated the last bit of chakra in his body.

Pfft!

Blood flew.

A bone spur pierced Kimimaro's heart and grew out through his chest.

At this moment, the man named Kaguya Kimimaro died completely.

"He'd rather die than reveal Orochimaru's location? Cough cough."

Itachi Uchiha coughed twice.

Knowing that Kimimaro did this at the last moment to keep secret and avoid being tortured to extract information, he remained silent for a while before placing Kimimaro's body in a deep pit and burying it.

After doing all this, Itachi Uchiha put his hat back on his head, opened his palm, and a black raven instantly spread its wings from his palm, cutting through the sky and flying into the distance.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of shadow clones being destroyed rang out continuously, accompanied by the howling of lightning.

Kisame not only dealt with the combined attack of Naruto and Sasuke with ease, but also put the two in grave danger.

Unaware that he had reached the pinnacle of his life, Kisame, who was already suffocating the two great ninja world bosses, Ashura Reincarnation and Indra Reincarnation, had no interest in continuing the fight. He kicked Sasuke, who could clearly see him but couldn't dodge in time, and then aimed Samehada at Naruto with ferocious force.

Compared to Itachi's younger brother, the nine-tailed brat was more to his liking.

Seeing this, Naruto was about to dodge when a green figure passed by him at an extremely fast speed.

"Konoha Tornado!"

A powerful and forceful high kick sent the unsuspecting Kisame flying.

Accompanying this was a passionate, youthful cry:

"Konoha's beautiful azure beast has returned!"

"Thick eyebrows! You're here!!"
