Chapter 148: Obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan
Chapter 148: Obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan
Itachi Uchiha forcibly stabilized Susanoo, and the Sword of Totsuka slashed towards Hui Xuan Yue.
Hui Xuan Yue's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already on the other side of Susanoo, throwing another punch.
Crack!
The shattering sound of Susanoo rang out once more.
Without the Yata Mirror, Susanoo's massive size was still an unbeatable nightmare for most ninjas, but to Hui Xuan Yue, it was merely a larger toy.
Soon, under the force of another mighty punch, Susanoo finally succumbed and shattered with a loud crash.
Hui Xuan Yue immediately rushed in and grabbed Itachi, who was inside.
Caw! Caw! Caw!
The crows screeched.
Watching Itachi's body turn into a dozen crows that scattered in all directions, Hui Xuan Yue remained unmoved, scanning his surroundings.
"Did you switch places when you released the Yata Mirror?"
He wasn't hiding in the east or lurking in the west.
He wasn't in the north or the south either.
So, he must be underground!
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"
In an instant, a massive fire dragon's head rose from the ground beneath Hui Xuan Yue's feet, ready to swallow him whole.
Hui Xuan Yue quickly retreated from the dragon's mouth, but the relentless Fire Dragon Bullet continued its pursuit. Hui Xuan Yue extended his right hand, and a black hole formed in his palm.
"Yin Release: Absorption Hole!"
A large amount of fire was instantly drawn into Hui Xuan Yue's palm.
Itachi, who had risen from the ground, saw this and his Mangekyo Sharingan on his right eye spun rapidly.
"Now's the chance!"
"Amaterasu!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Itachi's eye.
Feeling the searing pain in his eye, Itachi paid it no heed as he fixed his gaze on the released Fire Dragon Bullet.
The black flames of destruction instantly descended upon the fire dragon, rapidly transforming the normal red flames into Amaterasu's inferno.
In the blink of an eye, the black flames had spread to where Hui Xuan Yue was absorbing the Fire Dragon Bullet.
The Amaterasu flames could not be digested by Yin Release.
Hui Xuan Yue reacted swiftly, his right hand's thumb tucked inward, halting the Yin Release.
As he retreated, a flexible, earthy-yellow membrane quickly enveloped him, protecting his entire body.
The Amaterasu flames approached swiftly.
In an instant, the black flames of destruction descended upon the membrane.
Taking advantage of the moment before the black flames could cover the entire membrane, Hui Xuan Yue quickly cut through it, allowing the flames to continue burning while he flashed out of harm's way. He then raced towards Itachi with clear purpose.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
Having consecutively cast Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, and Amaterasu, Itachi's body struggled to bear the strain as he panted heavily.
Even so, the Amaterasu flames showed no signs of stopping.
Noticing Hui Xuan Yue's approach, Itachi gritted his teeth against his exhaustion. More blood flowed from his eye sockets as he swiftly aimed his right eye at Hui Xuan Yue, reactivating the Amaterasu flames.
The ominous black flames instantly appeared where Hui Xuan Yue was located.
However, Hui Xuan Yue's speed was too fast with his Body Flicker Technique fully unleashed, and the black flames missed their mark.
Itachi could only create distance, his gaze sweeping the area, as a long strip of black flame surged towards Hui Xuan Yue.
"Is it over?"
After accomplishing all this, Itachi's vision began to blur. He widened his eyes, and when he looked again, he only saw a vast expanse of raging black flames.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief...
But a palm reached him first, slapping his jaw and forcing his Mangekyo Sharingan to look skyward.
Even so, Itachi did not give up. Despite his blind spot, he swung his arms wildly.
However, soon enough, a black rod pierced his right arm, and a heavy punch landed on his chest.
Itachi's body curled up, and in the midst of excruciating pain, he didn't have time to do anything else.
Taking advantage of this moment, Hui Xuan Yue, who had previously clashed with Amaterasu's flames, reached out with his left hand and grasped Itachi's left hand, controlling his fingers.
Boar-Dog-Rooster-Monkey-Goat.
Together, the ten fingers of the two men quickly formed the hand seals for the Summoning Jutsu.
Itachi's blood, which had been prepared beforehand, was applied to their fingertips.
Finally...
"Summoning Jutsu!"
A puff of white smoke emerged.
A large number of crows were summoned.
Hui Xuan Yue quickly locked onto the crow with the Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan in its left eye. He reached out, grabbed it, and plucked out the bloody Mangekyo Sharingan, which fell into his palm.
"Collection complete."
The pair of Mangekyo Sharingan that belonged to Shisui had now been assembled.
Hui Xuan Yue placed the Mangekyo Sharingan in his hand into a prepared container and looked at Itachi again. The latter had taken the opportunity to create some distance.
Clang!
Itachi pulled out the black rod embedded in his right arm, and amid the spray of blood, he was already half-kneeling on the ground, his chakra and stamina nearly depleted, but at least his Akatsuki uniform remained mostly intact.
Noticing Hui Xuan Yue's attention on him again, Itachi forced himself to lift his head, his vision blurry as he looked at his opponent. There was no panic or fear on his face, only a calm sigh.
As expected of a man who was said to rival the gods.
From a young age, Itachi had always been a genius in everyone's eyes. In all aspects, he far surpassed his peers, and in the end, even in the talented Uchiha clan, few could withstand a single move from him.
He had thought that even the legendary figures of the Warring States period, no matter how powerful, would still be rivaled by his Mangekyo Sharingan and other abilities, and at the very least, he could escape unscathed.
But now, he realized his arrogance.
Not only had he failed to see Sasuke, but he had also lost Shisui's other Mangekyo Sharingan, which had been given to him.
And now, it seemed his life was also on a countdown.
"Sasuke..."
At this moment, Itachi suddenly realized that he was thinking more about Sasuke than Konoha.
Step. Step. Step.
Hui Xuan Yue walked towards Itachi at a steady pace.
In contrast to Itachi's disheveled state, he looked as if he had merely gone on a leisurely stroll.
Although Itachi had posed some threats during the process, everything was under Hui Xuan Yue's control, so he remained unhurried.
Itachi was not one to passively wait for death.
Just as he prepared to set up a transplant seal on his Mangekyo Sharingan to leave one last trump card...
"Itachi, this is the first time I've seen you in such a sorry state."
Accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, a familiar voice rang in his ears.
