Chapter 769: Uchiha Sasuke Joins the Battle
Chapter 769: Uchiha Sasuke Joins the Battle
"What could you possibly understand, you sheltered fool?" Uchiha Daigo, the Broken Face, spoke with disdain.
Although he had never interacted with Dai Tu, their encounter was brief.
But he was still Uchiha Itachi, and within the first minute of seeing him, he understood one thing.
Itachi was happy, having lost nothing and never experiencing great pain.
"With everything you possess, you'll never grasp the truth of this world like I do. You shouldn't have gotten involved, you fool!" Uchiha Daigo continued his tirade.
Instead of living a good life, he chose to leave his world and participate in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Not only did he bring death upon himself, but he also dragged Hinata along, making him even more deserving of death.
"I'm not a fool! You're the one who's inherently evil!" Itachi retorted.
"You're also a student of Wave Water Gate. What did he ever do to you that you'd want to kill him and his wife, Kushina, leaving Naruto an orphan?"
"And how have the people of the ninja world wronged you that you'd start the Fourth Great Ninja War, bringing untold suffering upon everyone?"
Itachi couldn't comprehend how his counterpart in Uzumaki Naruto's world had become like this.
Despite his hatred for war and tragedies, Uchiha Daigo relentlessly created one tragedy after another, initiating the Great Ninja War.
"All of this is a necessary sacrifice, the final darkness before the dawn," Uchiha Daigo replied without a hint of emotion.
The strength of Konoha was a hindrance to his plans, so he had to weaken it, stirring up conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha to set the stage for war.
If the Uchiha clan and Konoha were to clash, it would undoubtedly trigger a new Great Ninja War, allowing him to take advantage of the chaos.
Unfortunately, his plan hit a slight snag, and the Great Ninja War didn't erupt as intended; only localized conflicts emerged.
However, this didn't significantly impact Itachi's grand plan; it merely required a slight adjustment in timing.
"When the Moon Eye descends upon the world, the dead will be resurrected, and everyone's wishes will be fulfilled, granting them salvation," Uchiha Daigo said without remorse for his actions.
Killing didn't weigh on his conscience. After he used Infinite Tsukuyomi, everyone would live in a happy dream world, and even the deceased could be resurrected within that dream.
This was why Uchiha Daigo hadn't resurrected Hinata.
He could have easily brought her back to life, but allowing Hinata to live in a world without hope would be a desecration of her memory.
"It sounds like you've been duped by some con artist. Even Yubihayamumiyue couldn't achieve something this grand. How can you do it with just the nine Tailed Beasts?" Itachi scoffed, dismissing the idea of resurrecting everyone and fulfilling their wishes.
"Communicating with a fool like you is a waste of time. Get out of my sight!" Uchiha Daigo flashed forward, using Divine Might to bring Itachi's Shadow Clone out of the Divine Might space and threw it away forcefully.
Flag Kakashi intended to catch Itachi's clone, but upon seeing Uchiha Daigo's face, his heart trembled, and he froze in his tracks.
The others who witnessed Uchiha Daigo's face were equally shocked, momentarily halting their actions.
Even the Shadow Clone outside was stunned.
In the end, the clone was slammed to the ground and dissipated into white smoke.
"The memories have flowed into me. Is it because the original body hasn't arrived yet?" Itachi's clone realized the additional memories in his mind.
"So, you're still alive... but why...?" Adult Kakashi's face was filled with pain and disbelief as he stared at Uchiha Daigo.
The impact on him was even greater than on Itachi.
For Itachi, this was just another world's affair.
Adult Kakashi's situation was different; this was his world.
From his perspective, "Itachi" was someone who had sacrificed himself to save his dear friend, a person worthy of his respect and remembrance.
Just a few hours ago, he had reminisced about Itachi and his friends, who had already passed away.
Now, to be told that the masked man, the instigator of the Fourth Great Ninja War, was his deceased friend, was something Adult Kakashi couldn't accept.
"It's really 'Itachi'?" Kakashi's face showed genuine surprise, as he had only been joking before.
No wonder no one disrupted Kushina's childbirth.
The "Masked Man" was guarding the door; he had no time for attacks.
Kakashi thought, glancing at Itachi's clone with concern.
Given his understanding of Itachi, this news would undoubtedly hit him hard.
Although they were from different worlds, their worlds were eerily similar.
In other words, Uchiha Daigo represented a possible future for Itachi.
Without Yubihayamumiyue's influence, Itachi might have become a ruthless and heartless individual.
"You can't be serious about this..."
Naruto clenched his fists, his face filled with disbelief.
He had only known Itachi for a little over a month, but Naruto was well aware of Itachi's kind and passionate nature.
Even if he said something unpleasant, Itachi would immediately apologize with sincerity.
Despite the dangers of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Itachi willingly offered to help and even wanted to assist Naruto in defeating the evil 'Uchiha Sasuke'.
However, in this world, Itachi turned out to be the true culprit behind his parents' deaths!
This was highly unusual, as they were supposed to exist in parallel worlds. Even if their experiences differed, as counterparts, their personalities should have been similar.
Everyone who knew Itachi was either shocked or surprised.
"Shouldn't you be the one who understands this the most? After all, Rin was 'killed' by your own hands, Kakashi."
Broken-Masked Itachi spoke with a mocking expression.
"I..."
Adult Kakashi opened his mouth but couldn't bring himself to say anything. His face was a mix of pain and self-blame.
Itachi wanted to ask something, but in the end, he didn't speak.
Given the current situation, it wasn't an appropriate time for conversation. The priority was to defeat Broken-Masked Itachi and eliminate the evolving Ten-Tailed Juggernaut.
"This must be your creation, that mask. My Itachi would never become a scoundrel like you!"
Naruto quickly formed a Rasengan and charged forward.
"A fool like him doesn't have the right to become 'me'."
Broken-Masked Itachi removed the Uchiha Fan from his back and held it in front of him, using the Uchiha Rebound to deflect Naruto's attack.
After calming down, Broken-Masked Itachi realized that the situation wasn't as bad as he thought.
Adult Kakashi's chakra was depleted, and he couldn't use Divine Might as freely as Itachi. In other words, Divine Might was still usable, but Itachi needed to be more cautious than usual.
With the power granted by Ashura Cells, Itachi could hold off until Uchiha Sasuke arrived.
"You call Itachi, who wanted to become the Hokage and stop the war, a fool. Then what are you? An ambitious schemer who thrives on chaos? This doesn't make you seem smart; it just makes you look like a scoundrel!"
Hinata Hyuga stepped forward from behind the group, her eyes fixed on Broken-Masked Itachi as she retorted.
Broken-Masked Itachi's grip on the Uchiha Fan tightened, but he said nothing.
Ignorance is bliss.
Hinata was unaware of the grandness of the Moon Eye Plan, so her words could be forgiven.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Jinchuriki, who had been knocked down by the extraction of the Nine-Tails, suddenly emitted a blinding white light, and their souls began to detach from their bodies.
Even the Impure World Reincarnation of Kakuzu, sealed by Kakuzu, had his soul break free from the seal.
"Sasuke succeeded. The Impure World Reincarnation has been undone!"
Shizui's expression turned to relief upon witnessing this.
With the Impure World Reincarnation broken, it meant that Bando had been defeated by Uchiha Sasuke, and Broken-Masked Itachi would no longer receive reinforcements.
"That guy, Uchiha Sasuke, must have something else up his sleeve."
Broken-Masked Itachi's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
If Uchiha Sasuke were to disappear, he might not be able to hold out until the Ten-Tails completed its evolution.
His strength was undeniable, but his opponents were numerous.
There was Naruto in Nine-Tailed Fox Mode, Nagato with his fully functional Sage Technique, Shizui with his Tridend Sharingan and Sage Technique, Sage Jiraiya, and Sage Orochimaru...
"Looks like you're out of luck. You won't get to see Yubihayamumiyue."
Kakuzu, observing the Impure World Reincarnation of Kakuzu's soul about to ascend, shrugged and said.
He couldn't restrain a soul that was about to depart.
"It's a bit regrettable, but there's nothing I can do."
The Impure World Reincarnation of Kakuzu sighed, feeling the irresistible pull.
"But rest assured, I'll find the money you hid and prevent it from rotting in the ground."
As the Impure World Reincarnation of Kakuzu ascended, Kakuzu chuckled and said, "I'll make sure it doesn't go to waste."
"You! You're a disgrace to the ninja world!"
The Impure World Reincarnation of Kakuzu couldn't help but curse, as that money was his life's savings.
Unfortunately, as he had already risen to a certain height, Kakuzu couldn't hear what he was saying; he could only see his lips moving.
"Perfect opportunity!"
Kirabi, seeing this, charged towards the Ten-Tailed Juggernaut.
"Divine Might!"
Broken-Masked Itachi appeared in front of the fully transformed Kirabi and released Divine Might, firing the iron nails he had prepared in advance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sharp nails pierced through Kirabi and into the ground, immobilizing him due to the Outer Path power they contained.
"Uchiha Flame Array!"
Broken-Masked Itachi slammed his hand on the ground, and a fiery red circular barrier swiftly rose around the Ten-Tailed Juggernaut, protecting it.
This barrier technique, taught to him by Uchiha Sasuke, was second only to the Four Scarlet Sun Array, which could only be performed by the five Kage.
"I am useless, unable to protect my comrades. Even so, I will stop you."
Adult Kakashi composed himself and tightly gripped a kunai, speaking to Broken-Masked Itachi.
The former "Itachi" was a dear friend who would sacrifice himself for others, but this did not change the fact that Itachi had fallen into darkness.
All he could do now was to kill Broken-Masked Itachi.
"Since you've admitted to being useless, you should just lie down on the ground!"
Broken-Masked Itachi unleashed a Wood Style defense to block the incoming attack, ignoring everyone else, and used Divine Might to shoot countless kunai at Adult Kakashi.
"Sage Technique: Purple Lightning!"
Kakashi extended his hand, and his Sage Chakra erupted, emitting a large patch of purple lightning to shield Adult Kakashi from the attack.
"Your Chakra is enough to use Divine Might. I'll take care of the attacks for you."
Kakashi said.
Itachi's physical body was not present, and only Adult Kakashi's Distorted Divine Might could counter the Phantom Divine Might.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to be protected by his younger self, Adult Kakashi was a rational ninja who understood that now was not the time to worry about such things.
He took a deep breath and quickly generated Chakra, waiting for Broken-Masked Itachi to use Divine Might to dodge the attacks.
Under the siege of so many powerful ninjas, Broken-Masked Itachi would undoubtedly use Divine Might.
Just as Broken-Masked Itachi used Divine Might, Adult Kakashi immediately employed Divine Might, transporting the attacks into the same space, preventing Broken-Masked Itachi from evading them.
"Damn."
The injured Broken-Masked Itachi looked terrible.
If it weren't for the Ashura Cells, he might have been severely injured, as there were too many powerful ninjas present.
"You're really pathetic, Itachi."
Suddenly, a voice that sounded like Itachi's reached his ears.
A red-armored Uchiha Sasuke descended from the sky and landed beside Broken-Masked Itachi.
Upon seeing this, Jiraiya and the others quickly retreated to a safe distance.
"I was planning to have some fun with the Five Kage."
Uchiha Sasuke said with dissatisfaction.
He was very unhappy with Broken-Masked Itachi, who had resurrected him in an Impure World Reincarnation instead of using Reincarnation Summoning.
Uchiha Sasuke could only use Full Body Susanoo to quickly defeat the Five Kage and reach Broken-Masked Itachi.
Even on his way, Uchiha Sasuke's Impure World Reincarnation body encountered problems, but he had broken through Senju Tobirama's forbidden technique, preventing him from dissipating like the others.
"These guys are no weaker than the Five Kage; in fact, they're even stronger. You can have more fun with them."
Broken-Masked Itachi said expressionlessly.
Hearing Broken-Masked Itachi's words, Uchiha Sasuke showed interest and examined Kakashi and the others.
"The power of the Nine-Tails, Sage Techniques, and the Rinnegan..."
Uchiha Sasuke was surprised to see Nagato.
Broken-Masked Itachi had one Rinnegan, but how did this ninja, who resembled Nagato, possess two?
When Uchiha Sasuke saw Hinata, his expression became even more astonished, and he glanced at Broken-Masked Itachi.
However, Broken-Masked Itachi's face remained expressionless, and Uchiha Sasuke couldn't discern his thoughts.
"They do seem stronger than the Five Kage."
Uchiha Sasuke smiled.
"Why is Uchiha Sasuke, who was resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation, here? Shouldn't Impure World Reincarnation have been lifted?"
Shizune looked at Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, confused.
At first, she thought Uchiha Sasuke had been resurrected by some other technique, but upon closer inspection, she realized he was still in an Impure World Reincarnation state.
"Any ninjutsu can be broken. He must have broken Impure World Reincarnation, so he wasn't affected by the ninjutsu's release."
Orochimaru analyzed.
Due to Yubihayamumiyue's influence, Orochimaru's path differed from that of Uzumaki Naruto's world, and he wasn't proficient in Impure World Reincarnation.
However, Orochimaru knew many other forbidden techniques, and through analogy, he could guess that Uchiha Sasuke had broken Impure World Reincarnation.
"Uchiha Sasuke with the Rinnegan..."
Kakashi took a deep breath, feeling anxious.
The Uchiha Sasuke that Yubihayamumiyue killed had three tomoe Sharingan and was already so powerful.
The current Uchiha Sasuke not only had an Impure World Reincarnation immortal body but also possessed a Rinnegan from an unknown origin. Could they truly seal him?
