I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 770 Don't listen to what someone says, watch what they do.

Outside a cave, Tobirama Senju released his grip on the felt around the neck of the armored figure, then looked into the cave and said, "We can move at any time. In five minutes, you must sever the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"Then leave it to me, Second Generation Lord."

The itachi, who had been resting with his eyes closed against the mountainside, opened them. The Sharingan that had just been transplanted, after being treated by Tobirama Senju and adapting in such a short time, had become bright and lively.

"Very well, then let's see your talent for now."

Tobirama Senju didn't compete with Itachi for anything. After all, he was already an old man. He could still forget about life and death in battle for the sake of the village, but if there were enough outstanding young people in the village, why should he take action?

Itachi took a step and ran quickly into the cave, but he did not use the Body Flicker Technique, although that would be faster, it would also leave him less time to react.

Although Itachi was confident that his keen senses and Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan would be enough to avoid the trap, there was no need to take the risk. He could just treat it as a chance to get his eyes used to each other.

Tobirama Senju followed silently behind Itachi, using the anti-sensory technique he had recently learned from Tatsuma with great skill.

Even if another ninja pharmacist, Nono, were to arrive, he might suspect that Tobirama Senju was the developer of this technique, otherwise how could he be so proficient?

"Only one barrier—is it confidence? Or are they simply overwhelmed?"

The cave wasn't very deep, but we didn't encounter any traps or ambushes along the way. Instead, we reached the depths smoothly. Behind the barrier, we could even vaguely see Yakushi Kabuto with his back to the cave exit.

"Susanoo!"

The Mangekyou Sharingan swirled in Itachi's eyes, and a half-body skeleton constructed of chakra enveloped him, but the color of this Susanoo was not his usual orange-red, but green.

"boom!"

Susanoo unleashed a punch, the overloaded power and chakra directly breaking through the barrier defenses. Itachi's pace slowed down, almost like a leisurely stroll after a meal, as he approached Kabuto.

"So that's why I couldn't resurrect you with Impure World Reincarnation. It turns out you really did escape during that battle."

Dou opened his mouth and said, "It's really amazing that you were able to put on such a wonderful show of turning a person into a living person in front of so many people. To be honest, even I thought that you were just making a backup plan because you didn't want your corpse to fall into our hands."

Despite being injured to that extent and losing her Mangekyou Sharingan, she could still use such powerful genjutsu to buy her brother so much time.

"Everything you see is just what I want you to see. You probably still don't understand my injuries and my eyes, do you?"

"Whether I was injured, or how serious the injury was, and when my eyes were removed—those of you who witnessed all of this, are you still reflecting on it now?"

Itachi curled his lips into a smile. That battle was less a contest between him and his brother, and more a contest between him and these prying eyes. But no matter which battle it was, he was the true victor.

He successfully evolved Sasuke's eyes into the Mangekyou Sharingan, while simultaneously outmaneuvering everyone around him who were watching and plotting against him, his own eyes, and Sasuke and Sasuke's eyes.

In the end, he even left Sasuke with his own eyes, and bought him time until he woke up, adapted to the change in power, and left the battlefield.

At the same time, they escaped perfectly.

Kabuto didn't refute it. Indeed, he still couldn't figure out whether Itachi was injured at the time, or whether the scene of Itachi taking off his own eyes in their eyes was the truth or just an illusion.

"Tell me your purpose in coming here. Are you planning to stop the Impure World Reincarnation technique? Unfortunately, you can't do it, and even Lord Orochimaru can't."

"I'm the only one capable of doing this. You must desperately want to kill me, but unfortunately, you know that once I'm killed, no one can stop the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Dou pushed up his glasses and said, "If you hadn't given your eyes to your brother, you might have had a way to fight back, but now that your eyes are empty, can you still see the future?"

Even so, you don't even have the courage to look me in the eye, do you?

Itachi said dismissively. Beside him, Tobirama Senju, who was looking at Itachi with his elbows crossed, had a strange expression, slightly admiring.

His gaze then fell on Kabuto, but in an instant, it shifted to the snake on the ground. The snake connected to Kabuto was quietly observing Itachi, while Itachi stared directly into the snake's eyes.

From the moment the barrier was broken—no, from the instant the barrier was struck—everything Kabuto could see was already an illusion.

At this moment, the snake that had taken Kabuto's place in his eyes was only seeing a scene that Itachi had created for Kabuto.

The last genjutsu happened several months ago, and Kabuto still hasn't figured it out, but he's already fallen into Itachi's other genjutsu. How tragic.

But Kabuto didn't seem to fall for Itachi's provocation. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Looking straight at you? That's quite impolite, especially since you still have a trump card up your sleeve, don't you?"

You must have been involved in Uchiha Shisui's death back then, right? Based on the intelligence I gathered during my years of infiltration of Konoha, the Second Hokage sealed one of his eyes a few years ago.

That must be Shisui's eye, right? In other words, there's another one still out there, and most likely it's in your hands.

Even if the situation were to worsen, and you returned to the village with the other Shisui eye, having acquired both Mangekyou Sharingan, you would be no weaker than you were when you were healthy.

Not to mention, Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan possesses the talent for the so-called strongest genjutsu, "Kotoamatsukami," and no one would dare to look directly into those eyes.

"Looks like you're really well-prepared."

"There's nothing I can do. My enemy is just too powerful. But it seems I still have the upper hand. Impure World Reincarnation is a perfect technique. Now you have no choice but to kill me in a fit of rage."

"You're wrong. Every technique has a weakness, and the weakness and risk of this technique is me!"

"Hahaha~"

As Itachi finished speaking, Kabuto laughed and said, "You mean your control over this snake? Unfortunately, the moment I sensed someone, I severed my sensory connection with the snake. Your techniques cannot be transmitted to me through it."

"This is the most foolish decision you've ever made. You don't even have the courage to look the enemy in the eye, so you're destined to fail."

Itachi looked at Tobirama Senju and asked, "Second Hokage, have the five minutes been up?"

Tobirama Senju nodded and said, "Perfect."

Upon hearing another voice, and it was Tobirama Senju, Kabuto's face showed a moment of panic, but he quickly calmed down; his technique couldn't be broken.

etc.

What about his technique?

"You can sever your sensory connection with the snake, but you are connected to it by chakra, so it is you. What you can do, it can do too. And during the time you sever the connection, you don't even know what it did."

Itachi gently shook his head and said, "I never intended to use any magic on you, because that snake is enough to break the Impure World Reincarnation."

"impossible!"

Kabuto turned his head in astonishment and met a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes spinning around him. Itachi nodded and said, "It's indeed impossible, but it's possible now."

"Kotoamatsukami!"

"As a snake, not even knowing it has been poisoned is truly a failure."

Dou looked down at the two dentition holes that had appeared on his thigh at some unknown time, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, which was covered with mottled scales.

It turned out that the technique hadn't failed; he had simply been poisoned.

Itachi couldn't control the snake to undo the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but he could control the snake to deliver venom to Kabuto, giving himself the illusion that the technique had failed.

Wiping away his tears of blood, Itachi said, "Next..."

On the battlefield, Tatsuma looked down at Uchiha Madara, who was kneeling on the ground, performing the most solemn ninja etiquette. The moment Madara looked up, the Sharingan and Byakugan in Tatsuma's eyes disappeared without a trace.

Madara Uchiha raised his head and said with a slightly fanatical tone, "The Fourth Hokage has not failed in his mission."

"Are you Itachi?"

"Ding~ [Ninjutsu +13], [Physical +9], [Strength +9]. Special Talent [Divine Power] (Uchiha Madara Limited Edition) +100%. Pick up?"

"Pick it up".

"boom!"

Before Tatsuma could process the knowledge and chakra that suddenly appeared in his mind, Madara Uchiha, whose body was collapsing, suddenly unleashed endless chakra, even causing the wooden puppet to be thrown backward.

Madara Uchiha stood up, his face grim, his killing intent materializing like the chakra surrounding him. He looked up at Tatsuma and said:

"Tell the caster that forbidden spells cannot be used recklessly. In return, I will kill him!"

"Impure World Reincarnation! Release!"

As Madara Uchiha formed hand seals, his previously disintegrating Edo Tensei body was pulled back to its original state as if a rewind button had been pressed, and it was fully restored in an instant.

Her long hair flowed freely, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in her eyes spun at an extreme speed. In a certain instant, it seemed to be sublimated, and the black and red colors faded from her eyes, turning into circles of patterns.

A chakra giant rose up once more, complete with a skeleton, flesh, armor, weapons, a mask, and wings.

Madara Uchiha's figure was no longer on the ground within the range of Susanoo, but within a chakra barrier on the forehead of Susanoo.

The originally towering three-headed, six-armed wooden figure now appeared before Susanoo like a deformed child whose development was not progressing, only reaching Susanoo's waist.

Madara Uchiha looked down at him and said, "It is an honor for you to have me, Madara Uchiha, use my full strength. From now on, apart from Hashirama, no one can stop me."

This is true divine power, the ultimate form of Susanoo!

Tatsuma looked up, his eyes filled with a solemnity and caution he had never shown since arriving in this ninja world, but he remained motionless and said, "Since we've come this far, let me show you my power."

That... power that you'll crave.

"Heretical paths! The myriad phenomena of the universe!"

"Sage Art! Wood Release! Vajra Extinction! Buddha Transformation on Top!"

Under Madara Uchiha's astonished yet fervent gaze, Konoha was also rising step by step, while the power of the nine tailed beasts flowed through his body, forging the wooden figure into a true Buddha.

Even so, the wooden puppet was still a short distance from the height of Susanoo, which made Tatsuma somewhat dissatisfied, because it was not a difference in strength. In fact, the chakra used by the two was almost the same.

The difference in elevation is probably due to the different techniques used.

Suppressing the urge to unleash his own divine power, Tatsuma, who had already merged with the Dharma Image of the Myō-ō, spoke up: "Uchiha Madara, let's see how much of a map we two can rewrite!"

"Tch! You think you can compete with this knock-off Hashirama?"

Despite saying this, Susanoo still raised his hands, gripped his ninja sword, and the moment it was drawn, a streak of light fell like a shooting star, cleaving several mountains in half in sight.

"They say they don't want it, but their fighting spirit is incredibly high."

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Two mountain-sized giants launched their attack simultaneously, and at that moment, the sky turned completely dark.
