LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 173: Itachi, Why Are You Sweating?
A few minutes ago.
In the prison deep inside the Root headquarters, Itachi was stitching Sasuke's wounds, having realized something strange.
"Come out! Stop hiding."
"Is there an enemy?"
Kisame was startled and held Samehada just in case.
"Hahaha, have you realized it for a long time?"
In the dark corner, a familiar gloomy voice sounded.
Orochimaru's figure gradually emerged, looking at Itachi and Sasuke with burning eyes while licking his lips nervously.
"Orochimaru? Are you the bastard who wants Itachi's body and betrayed the organization?"
Kisame was even more hostile. He had seriously touched their bottom line of betraying the organization and coveting Itachi.
Orochimaru's eyes didn't focus on Kisame for even half a second and continued to stare at Itachi.
"A very decisive battle!"
"I have to admit, whether it's Danzo or Itachi, you two have given me a lot of surprises."
"If you two hadn't pushed each other so much, I might not have been able to defeat you!"
Orochimaru said sincerely.
It wasn't praise, it was the truth.
Whether it was Itachi's Susano'o or Danzo's Izanagi, they had made it very difficult for Orochimaru.
Fortunately, Danzo and Itachi were almost out of chakra, so this was the perfect time for him to take action.
"Orochimaru, are you really sure you can achieve ultimate victory?"
Itachi turned to look at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru immediately averted his gaze, making sure to avoid looking into Itachi's eyes so as not to fall into the illusion again.
"Itachi, at this moment, there's no point in pretending. How much chakra do you have left now? You don't have any chakra left, do you?"
"I'll give you a choice. If you voluntarily surrender your body to me, maybe I can consider releasing Sasuke."
"You don't want your beloved brother to become my vessel, do you?"
Orochimaru threatened. He had the advantage and didn't even know what it meant to hold back. In his eyes, Itachi and Sasuke were already his!
But because of his hesitation, he didn't take action immediately.
Who knew if Itachi would pull out another trump card?
Always be careful, because he was the Hokage. It would be better if Itachi took the initiative to surrender.
Blame that useless Danzo.
One Sharingan arm actually failed to kill either of those two.
He was truly trash!
If Orochimaru himself had a Sharingan in his arm and could use Izanagi, how could he still stay in Otogakure Village?
Not to mention the Fourth Kazekage, he had conquered all Five Kage!
❀❀❀
Facing Orochimaru's threat, Itachi became unusually silent.
No one was more aware of his dire situation than him. Chakra was almost depleted, and it might be very difficult to fire Amaterasu again.
Especially the fierce battle with Orochimaru, it was impossible to defeat him alone.
Fortunately, Kisame was still there, which was why Itachi himself didn't hesitate to activate Izanagi to save Kisame.
"Itachi, disagree! This cunning snake has cunning writing all over his face. He's definitely lying to you."
"I'll hold him off, go!"
Kisame remained loyal as usual and prepared to hold off Orochimaru alone to give Itachi and Sasuke time to escape.
"Good! Be careful of this guy's forbidden techniques, don't be too eager to fight!"
Itachi agreed very simply and reminded. Then he picked up Sasuke and immediately prepared to retreat.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru had already reached this point.
*WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!*
Four figures rushed out, landing on the four corners of the giant prison, and forming a barrier.
"Four Violet Flames Formation!"
The four Otogakure ninjas attacked again, opening the barrier and closing the entire prison, blocking Itachi's escape route.
Since he was trying to gain an advantage, how could Orochimaru not be prepared?
Kabuto's side was used to deal with Danzo, and Itachi's side naturally had four Otogakure ninjas as backup. Although the four Otogakure ninjas weren't very strong, they couldn't affect the Kage-level battle. But it was more than enough to form a barrier and restrict Itachi's escape.
Moreover, it was a secret operation, so he brought the most trusted Otogakure Ninjas to attack without letting Konoha's Anbu interfere.
As for the captured Anko, Orochimaru had rescued her and asked Kakashi to take her away.
"That's a barrier! Damn it, he's really cunning!"
Kisame shouted angrily, hating this cunning bastard very much.
"How is it? Itachi, is the stage set up for you nicely? You still have a chance to admit defeat now!"
Orochimaru became even more proud, his pupils narrowed into crescent shapes.
Itachi took out a rope, tied Sasuke's back to his back, then took out a kunai and remained silent.
But this showed his determination to fight to the death.
"Then, don't blame me. I'll try my best to be gentle and try not to hurt your body."
"Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation!"
Orochimaru clapped his hands, and four coffins quickly rose from the ground in front of him.
Because he had suffered losses, he wasn't ready to fight Itachi personally, if there were Impure World Reincarnation puppets who weren't afraid of illusions and were more useful, he would definitely use them.
Plus the barrier restrictions, even if it was wasted, he would definitely kill Itachi and Kisame today!
Seeing the four coffins rise, Itachi couldn't help but darken his face, becoming more aware of Orochimaru's difficulty.
The last time he defeated Orochimaru instantly, there were indeed too many unexpected factors, and the other party was careless and underestimated the enemy.
Orochimaru was fully prepared, the weight of the Konoha Sannin was truly astonishing!
"For the former Kirigakure ninja over there, you don't want to die here, do you? If you want to survive, you can choose to join me!"
"Win me? Itachi, this guy is really naive. But it's just a barrier, do you think he can trap me?"
Kisame shouted, never thinking of turning his back on Itachi.
At the same time, he raised his sword, rushed to the edge of the barrier, and slashed with one attack!
This critical attack was indeed very powerful, causing ripples on the boundary of the Four Violet Flames Formation. The four Otogakure ninjas responsible for maintaining the barrier frowned even more, and their internal organs jumped, increasing their chakra consumption.
If it hit more than a dozen times, the barrier might be broken.
"It's useless, this barrier isn't easy to break through! In the meantime, it's enough to deal with you!"
Orochimaru laughed loudly. Begin to open the coffin and release the puppet.
But as he had just finished speaking, a very sharp blue chakra sword energy pierced the entire base from top to bottom!
The seemingly tough Four Violet Flames Formation didn't even last for a millisecond, the barrier was instantly shattered like a knife cutting butter!
The entire prison was also instantly divided into two!
A huge and ferocious stone canyon appeared.
This sudden change frightened everyone, even Orochimaru was confused.
Everyone immediately looked up and saw the sky and the horizon outside from the large gap.
At the same time, they also saw the giant Susano'o standing upright on the earth!
And Uchiha Madara, who was located in Susano'o, looked down with a disgusted expression.
Everyone was terrified.
Orochimaru:!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
Itachi: o(ﾟДﾟ)っ? ! !
Kisame: (O_O)?
As for the four Otogakure ninjas?
They were stunned by the counterattack from the broken barrier, and weren't even qualified to witness this scene.
Kisame was shocked and full of curiosity: "Susano'o? And such a big Susano'o?"
Itachi frowned, staring at the figure above.
"Itachi, do you know that person? Is he also an Uchiha ninja? Is there a surviving member of the Uchiha Clan? Is he here to save you?"
"..."
"Itachi, why are you sweating? Are you too tired?"
"Kisame."
"Huh?"
"That person is probably Uchiha Madara!"
"Ah?"
Kisame was shocked, then froze in place, a storm arose in his head.
'Is that Uchiha Madara? Wait, something's wrong!'
'Then who was the masked man who controlled the Fourth Mizukage and persuaded me to join the Akatsuki organization? Who is Uchiha Madara?'
'I can't tell, I can't tell at all!'
