I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 135 concludes the battle between Yagyu and Obito Uchiha.

"Is this all the power you have in your eyes?"

Looking at Sasuke Uchiha, who had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha, though sitting on a stone chair, adopted a superior posture, as if looking down on him, and said indifferently, "It seems that you haven't obtained the same eyes as me yet."

"Uchiha Itachi, I have a question for you!"

Ignoring Itachi, Sasuke Uchiha wanted to verify what Yusuke Uchiha had said back then, and questioned him: "You killed my father, mother, and all the clan members, but spared me. Was it to obtain my eyes and gain eternal eye power?"

Upon hearing this, both Obito Uchiha and Zetsu, who were hiding in the shadows, were quite surprised.

Uchiha Sasuke actually knew about the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?!

You should know that this is a secret known only to a very few people, and even the Uchiha clan has no records of it.

Even Obito Uchiha learned about it from Madara Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha learned about it from Obito Uchiha.

After all, the Mangekyou Sharingan is already a legendary eye in the ninja world.

When the Uchiha clan was destroyed, Sasuke Uchiha was only seven years old. How did he know this secret?

Is it Orochimaru? Or is it someone else?

Uchiha Itachi's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was heavy.

If it were Orochimaru, that would be alright. His weaknesses are too obvious; the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is his absolute nemesis.

If it's an unknown, mysterious person, then it's out of his control.

With a somewhat heavy heart, Itachi Uchiha looked at Sasuke Uchiha with an expression of admiration and said, "It seems that you haven't been without growth over the years."

"So, I was right?" Uchiha Sasuke said with a dark expression.

"That's right. The reason I spared you is to obtain eternal eye power and become the second... Uchiha Madara!"

The three tomoe in Itachi's eyes began to rotate, faintly transforming into a unique pattern. Yin Release chakra invaded Sasuke's brain, taking him back to what he believed to be the story of Madara and Izuna Uchiha, recounting the fabricated Mangekyou Sharingan tale of the Uchiha clan: "The Uchiha clan is one that would kill its own comrades and family members for the sake of obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan. To gain eternal eye power, they would even turn fathers against sons and brothers against each other. This is our destiny!"

Finally, Itachi Uchiha stood up from the stone chair, his body radiating black energy, and laughed wildly at Sasuke Uchiha: "Sasuke, you are the new light to me, you are my spare eye!"

"Foolish brother, I will kill you, free myself from the fate of our clan, obtain eternal eye power, and complete my final evolution!"

The Yin Release chakra perfectly embodied Itachi Uchiha's madness and killing intent, making the already cold cave feel like the dead of winter.

A gust of wind swept by, making it even colder and more biting.

In the past, even if Sasuke hated Itachi to death, he would have felt a sense of fear upon seeing Itachi in this state.

But at that moment, Sasuke Uchiha drew his Kusanagi sword from his waist, his eyes cold and resolute as he looked at Itachi Uchiha, his killing intent equally palpable, and said, "I have no more questions. Today I will avenge my parents and clan. Your life and your eyes, I will take them both!"

He had assumed that his once gentle brother was simply being cold to him out of necessity.

The killing of the entire clan was also due to unspeakable reasons.

The fact that he wasn't killed on the night of the massacre or in Konoha 60 years ago is the best evidence.

But now it seems I was being ridiculous.

He didn't kill himself, but only to obtain eternal eye power; he was merely his backup eye.

Everything was exactly as 'Uchiha Yusuke' had said.

However... it's not certain who will gain eternal pupil power by obtaining whose eyes!

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

Sasuke Uchiha struck first, unleashing a sharp lightning spear at Itachi Uchiha.

With a deafening roar, the Thunder Spear blasted the stone chair and the wall to smithereens.

But Itachi Uchiha's figure transformed into a black crow and disappeared.

The next second, Itachi Uchiha appeared behind Sasuke Uchiha, holding a kunai and stabbing at Sasuke's kidney, but the attack missed.

Uchiha Sasuke dodged with incredible speed, then his Kusanagi sword transformed back into a beam of light, shooting out towards Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi, struck by the light spear, once again transformed into a crow and disappeared.

Itachi Uchiha emerged from the shadows and engaged in a close-quarters battle with Sasuke Uchiha.

Then came the clash of ninjutsu, the destruction of the cave, the battle escalating from the Uchiha clan's secret base to the outside world, and even the burning of large swathes of forest...

The two fought for an unknown amount of time!

Of course, this is Sasuke Uchiha's own perspective.

From the perspectives of Obito Uchiha, Zetsu (both Black and White), and Yagyu, Sasuke Uchiha's expression became blank after Itachi said he would become the second Madara Uchiha.

"snort……"

Less than two seconds later, Itachi Uchiha let out a muffled groan, his face showing pain.

Sasuke Uchiha, now drenched in sweat and somewhat weak, looked smugly at Itachi Uchiha and said, "Tsukuyomi is nothing special!"

"He actually broke Itachi's Tsukuyomi? Unbelievable!"

White Zetsu found it unbelievable.

Black Zetsu chimed in, "It's truly unbelievable that the Sharingan with only three tomoe could break Tsukuyomi!"

Could it be due to Indra's chakra?

Only Obito Uchiha and Yagyu had their lips twitching slightly.

Cracking my ass!

Just like Yakumo Kurama's bloodline limit, Tsukuyomi can pull the enemy's mind into a genjutsu space. In the world of Tsukuyomi, all factors, including time, place, quality, etc., are controlled by the caster.

Just like Itachi Uchiha instantly killed Kakashi Hatake, he can directly control the enemy and then torture them for three days and three nights.

Unless one's Yin Release chakra far surpasses that of Itachi Uchiha and can forcibly break his Tsukuyomi, anyone caught in Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi is a lamb to the slaughter.

Sasuke Uchiha doesn't even have the Mangekyou Sharingan yet, and his Yin Release chakra isn't even worthy of carrying Itachi Uchiha's shoes.

If Itachi Uchiha truly intended to kill, then Sasuke Uchiha would be just like he was four years ago, or even nine years ago; Itachi could kill him instantly with a single glance.

However, Itachi Uchiha not only did not do that, but also let Sasuke Uchiha break his Tsukuyomi, thus damaging his own spirit, weakening his strength, and boosting Sasuke Uchiha's confidence.

This isn't just releasing water, it's releasing the entire ocean!

Clang clang clang...

Rumble...

Having finally broken free of the nightmarish Tsukuyomi, Sasuke Uchiha, brimming with confidence, attacked Itachi Uchiha.

The two brothers begin to reenact the battle in the Tsukuyomi world in reality.

The intensity of the battle far surpasses that of the original story.

Itachi Uchiha did not use his Mangekyou Sharingan to overpower Sasuke. Instead, he had to use ninjutsu that he had not used in the original work, as Sasuke had learned the Five Elements Release Techniques and composite ninjutsu from the Hundred Faces.

Such as the extinguishing of a great fire and the loss of a great fire.

Lightning and waves of fire relentlessly bombarded the cave, shattering layers of mountain walls.

Soon, half of the man-made mountain wall, which looked like a mountain but was actually a building, collapsed with a roar.

After the fire and lightning shattered the mountainside, they spread outwards into the forest, quickly igniting the woodland.

The sea of ​​fire spread, and thick smoke and high temperatures containing chakra soared into the sky.

Before long, the azure sky quickly turned pitch black, and a series of muffled thunderclaps resounded.

"Looks like you're nothing special after all."

Standing atop the mountain-like stone monument, Sasuke Uchiha, now out of Cursed Seal 2 and panting heavily, looked down at Itachi Uchiha, who, though uninjured, was in a very disheveled state. A smug smile crept across his face: "Next, I'll kill you with a ninjutsu you absolutely cannot dodge!"

After he finished speaking, the sound of a thousand birds chirping rang out from Uchiha Sasuke's hand.

Blue and white electric light had already enveloped his palm.

Sasuke Uchiha raised his lightning-streaked palm, guiding the lightning in the sky to converge and form the head of a Kirin, which emerged from the clouds.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head.

Compared to the final battle, Sasuke Uchiha's Lightning Release: Kirin now has a much longer wind-up, and he also needs to rely on artificial overcast skies for support.

If Itachi Uchiha truly wanted to kill him, he could have instantly killed him with a single Amaterasu attack while Itachi was channeling the lightning.

Just like Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha now possesses the strength to threaten the Kage, but in terms of both true strength and mental fortitude, he is far from reaching the level of the Five Kage.

If the original story didn't have Susanoo, he would probably have been easily killed by the Fourth Raikage.

Apart from Danzo and Gaara, he couldn't defeat any of the Five Kage.

Looking at the lightning Kirin in the sky, Uchiha Itachi was somewhat surprised, as this was a ninjutsu he had never seen before.

It seems that Sasuke developed this himself.

This power and range have undoubtedly reached the level of an S-rank ultimate technique.

Is it possible to develop an S-rank ultimate technique at this age?

Thinking of this, Itachi Uchiha felt a sense of relief.

However, seeing that Uchiha Sasuke still had chakra and could use lightning release to this extent, it seems that he has not yet driven his younger brother to the brink of despair, and his own weakness has not yet reached the point of drawing out Orochimaru's backup plan.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha decided to withstand this Lightning Release attack head-on, causing Sasuke Uchiha to weaken his own strength again. In this way, he also revealed the divine power hidden in the Mangekyou Sharingan to Sasuke Uchiha in advance.

"Lightning Release: Kirin!"

Sasuke Uchiha, of course, had no idea what Itachi Uchiha was thinking.

After gathering the lightning chakra from the clouds into a Kirin using Chidori, he immediately guided the Kirin to transform into a giant pillar of lightning, which struck down at a speed of one-thousandth of a second.

Its speed and range were so great that, just as Sasuke Uchiha had said, there was simply no way to dodge it.

boom--

The world was engulfed in white light, and the deafening thunder and explosions could be heard even by Kisame Hoshigaki, who was playing with children in the forest using Water Release to extinguish the flames, as well as by Suigetsu Hozuki and Jugo.

Looking in the direction of the collapsed mountain wall, both Hozuki Suigetsu and Jugo had a look of worry in their eyes.

Like them, there's also Kisame Hoshigaki.

He had a premonition that after today, he might never see Itachi again.

If a giant bolt of lightning were to fall to the ground, it would surely create a bottomless crater.

However, after the white light and explosion dissipated, the giant crater that Uchiha Sasuke had anticipated did not appear.

A burly war god clad in Tengu armor, with only a red, transparent upper body, came into Uchiha Sasuke's view.

Having never witnessed the Tree World Descends before, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened in shock at the sight of this level of technique.

"With only three tomoe Sharingan, he actually managed to force out Itachi's Susanoo. That's impressive!"

Bai Jue, witnessing this scene, also sighed slightly.

"This should be the end of it... right?" Blackie said uncertainly.

After using Lightning Release: Kirin, Sasuke Uchiha's chakra was completely depleted, and his three-tomoe Sharingan had reverted to ordinary black eyes, undoubtedly putting him in a desperate situation.

On the other hand, Itachi Uchiha, although extremely weak, was still able to maintain Susanoo, so the outcome should have been decided.

But the fateful battle between Ashura and Indra has not yet begun, and this generation of Indra has not yet reached his peak. Will Uchiha Sasuke really die?

If he dies, wouldn't that mean... Itachi Uchiha is the reincarnation of Indra?

Swah——

A flash of cold light swept across, and the huge stone tablet beneath Uchiha Sasuke's feet was instantly split in two.

A giant sword materialized in Susanoo's hand, and with a single strike, it sent Uchiha Sasuke crashing back to the ground.

Rising from the rubble, Sasuke Uchiha was no longer confident. Instead, he stared in horror at Itachi Uchiha, who was covered in blood and trembling as he walked toward him with half of his Susanoo.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Sasuke Uchiha used his last bit of chakra to create a large number of small fireballs and hurled them at Itachi Uchiha, but they were all blocked by Susanoo.

So weak that he couldn't even use the Body Flicker Technique, Sasuke Uchiha was knocked back by a rock while retreating and finally fell to the ground, looking at the approaching Susanoo with a face full of despair.

"what……"

As if sensing that the time had come, the Heavenly Curse Seal on Uchiha Sasuke's neck suddenly flashed red, but instead of spreading out as a curse seal, one after another, white snake heads emerged from Uchiha Sasuke's body.

After eight snake heads emerged, they shared the same body, which rapidly inflated and grew larger, forming in the blink of an eye an eight-headed serpent no less than half a Susanoo.

Orochimaru's naked upper body also emerged from one of the snake heads.

Looking at the weakened Itachi and Sasuke, Orochimaru's soul fragment couldn't help but let out a hoarse laugh: "Looks like I've won..."

*Pfft*

Before he could finish speaking, Orochimaru's body was pierced by a flaming sword.

"Heh... It's useless, I'm immortal... Hmm?"

Despite being pierced through the body, Orochimaru remained calm and instead gave a smug smile, preparing to show off his Eight-Headed Serpent Technique once again.

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a terrifying suction force pulling him away from control of his body, including control of the Yamata no Orochi.

Upon seeing the gourd in Susanoo's hand, the well-informed Orochimaru's eyes widened in astonishment. He exclaimed, "This is... the Totsuka Blade! It's actually in your hands?!"

Itachi Uchiha didn't have time to waste words with Orochimaru, and he used Susanoo to pull hard.

The terrifying suction force instantly sealed Orochimaru and Yamata no Orochi inside the Totsuka Blade's gourd, leaving only a small white snake lying on the ground.

"Amaterasu!"

Upon seeing the small white snake, Itachi Uchiha used the exclusive eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan, burning it to death with inextinguishable black flames.

Then, Itachi continued walking towards Sasuke.

Looking at his younger brother, who was slumped on the ground, his eyes filled with terror, yet he had no chakra to run away or resist, Itachi's vision gradually blurred. Sasuke's appearance seemed to have changed from a boy back to a child.

The corners of his mouth, stained with blood, involuntarily turned up slightly.

Finally, trembling, Itachi reached Sasuke and gently touched his forehead with two blood-stained fingers. With his last remaining ocular power, he inscribed the transfer seal, and in a barely audible voice, apologized: "I'm sorry, Sasuke… this is the last time!"

After he finished speaking, Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo quickly dissipated, along with his chakra and life force.

His body collapsed in front of Uchiha Sasuke.

Seeing this, Yagyu and Obito Uchiha, who had been hiding, attacked together.

A spatial vortex appeared next to the dazed Uchiha Sasuke.

Green branches grew from the ground and quickly bound the corpses of Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi.

Obito Uchiha emerged from the vortex, reaching out to suck the two rice dumplings into the Kamui dimension.

At that moment, Yagyu's upper body emerged from the wood, his palms covered in chakra, and pressed down on Uchiha Obito's body.

Seeing that the chakra was not a transformation of the Five Elements Escape Technique, Obito Uchiha immediately recognized it as an unknown sealing technique, which was very likely a special technique. His body instinctively warned him not to reveal his true form and touch the two rice dumplings.

At that moment, Yagyu appeared without warning, then vanished into thin air along with Sasuke and Itachi.

The battle between the two brothers ended with Yagyu's victory.
