Chapter 873: The Pacific Ocean Battle: Commencement!
Chapter 873: The Pacific Ocean Battle: Commencement!
Inside the Secret Base!
Sasuke strolled forward.
He had only heard of this place but had never been here before, and today was his first time visiting.
This was also the best place to settle their grudges.
Soon, Sasuke arrived at the secret chamber of the clan hall and saw a figure seated on a high-backed stone chair, wearing a black robe with red clouds.
"Itachi Uchiha!"
His eyes were filled with hatred, and his mind flashed back to the night of the clan massacre, the bodies of his clan members, and his parents lying in a pool of blood.
Even if he understood the other party's motives and reasons, he would never forgive them, especially someone who raised a butcher's knife against his clan for the sake of the 'Flame Will'.
The most ridiculous part was that the Flame Will was merely a concept, and the Fire Shadow Clan only talked about it. But you actually took it seriously!
"Sasuke!"
Itachi, sitting on the stone seat, felt a surge of complex emotions.
His original plan was to shoulder everything alone and bury the truth.
But who could have guessed that Danpei Uchiha would suddenly appear and even write a book called 'My Struggle', directly exposing the hypocrisy of the Fire Shadow Clan and his own intentions.
Now, even if he wanted to bear the darkness alone to allow his brother to stay in Konoha, it was no longer possible.
"Today, you will pay the price for slaughtering our clan members!"
Sasuke activated his Sharingan.
"Is that so? How far can your eyes see?"
Itachi's emotions remained unaffected.
Even if he still grieved for the deaths of his clan members, he did not regret his actions.
If he hadn't acted decisively back then, the Uchiha Clan would have been labeled as traitors to the village, something neither he nor Shisui would allow.
"At least I can see further than you, who only have the Flame Will in your eyes. Look at the Flame Will you believe in; how ridiculous is it!"
Sasuke retorted.
He spoke with great confidence.
After all, the book 'My Struggle' had exposed the true nature of the Fire Shadow Clan.
It started with the 'sale' of the Second Fire Shadow, followed by the suicide of Byakuya, the Hashirama Cells incident, the Three Thousand Monkey Clan Army, Danzo's assassination attempt on the Fire Shadow, the abuse of the Fire Shadow's orphans, the Uchiha Clan massacre, and more.
It was truly shocking.
Anyone who read it would curse the Fire Shadow Clan.
The book was now banned in the Fire Country; otherwise, the villagers of Konoha would have rebelled against the Fire Shadow Clan long ago.
However, both Sasuke and Itachi had read the book countless times, and they were well aware that its contents were true. Even Itachi couldn't defend the Fire Shadow Clan.
Because when it came to being unreasonable, they were truly unreasonable.
They were submissive and obedient to the outside world but struck with a heavy fist internally!
Overall, anyone with a normal IQ would have a negative impression of them.
"Those higher-ups don't represent the village!"
Itachi could only deceive himself into believing in the Flame Will, as it was his only mental pillar.
If he were to deny the Flame Will, wouldn't all his actions become meaningless?
"Is that so? If they can't represent the Flame Will, doesn't following their orders mean betraying the Flame Will?"
Sasuke's words left Itachi speechless.
Since you say the Fire Shadow Clan doesn't represent the Flame Will, doesn't obeying their orders mean betrayal?
He turned his own weapon against him, a brilliant move.
Swish!
Sasuke wasn't one to settle things with words alone. He used the Teleportation Jutsu to appear behind the high-backed stone chair, his long sword piercing the backrest and stabbing towards Itachi's body.
Pff!
It sounded like a sharp blade piercing flesh.
However, Sasuke's face remained expressionless.
Because the sensation was off!
Anyone who had killed enough people would know from the sensation whether they were piercing a human body or something else.
Croak!
A crow's cry echoed.
Itachi, already pierced by the Shinobigatana, transformed into crows and scattered.
It was a flashy 'Crow Clone' technique.
One had to admit that this move was indeed cool, and it was no wonder that Danpei copied... I mean, borrowed the idea for a Golden Crow Clone Technique.
Cool, in one word.
"Thunderbird Style!"
Sasuke's body erupted with electricity.
Zzzra!
The electricity surged towards the crows inside the room.
It was an indiscriminate attack! No matter how well they were hidden, they couldn't escape.
Clang!
Several meters away, crows gathered to form Itachi's figure, and he quickly performed hand seals, spitting out sparks.
"Peony Fire Technique!"
Neither side intended to use large-scale ninjutsu against each other.
They were from the Uchiha clan, not the Uzumaki or Senju clans. While they had a considerable amount of chakra, it was still far less than those families renowned for their chakra prowess.
Sasuke dodged the Peony Fire Technique while seeking an opportunity to counterattack.
"With your current strength, you indeed have the qualifications to be my tool for testing my capacity!"
Itachi threw several kunai to restrict Sasuke's movements while attempting to distract him with words.
If it were the Sasuke of the past, he might have shown a weakness because of this.
But now, mere words could not possibly affect his mental state. He, too, threw kunai in retaliation.
Clang!
The kunai clashed in mid-air and fell.
This was a test of their kunai throwing skills.

If it were Sasuke before obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
But after acquiring the Mangekyo Sharingan, even without using it, his fundamental strength had skyrocketed.
Thus, the two were evenly matched.
No, wait!
Sasuke held the upper hand.
His Mangekyo Sharingan had barely been used, giving him a visual advantage.
Although Itachi had tried to conserve his Mangekyo Sharingan, he had still used it numerous times, and his vision had already been affected, entering a blurry state.
In other words, recently, for some unknown reason, his vision had recovered somewhat, or else he wouldn't have had the chance to match Sasuke to this extent.
Fundamental skills! It was as if Sasuke had been given the opportunity to make up for his shortcomings during the past few years under Orochimaru's guidance. Otherwise, with the way Konoha nurtured its ninjas like children playing house, it was certain he wouldn't be able to match Itachi.
Then, it was a showdown of genjutsu! However, due to the extreme danger and the fact that neither wanted to engage in a close-quarters battle at first sight, both sides did not go all out immediately, and it was entirely a matter of testing the waters.
After a long while,
Both parties broke eye contact, and the genjutsu probing ended.
"Your growth rate has truly exceeded my expectations. Besides Orochimaru, there are others helping you, right?"
Although Itachi was asking a question, his tone was extremely affirmative.
There was no way around it; he knew too much about Orochimaru and was naturally clear about how far he could develop Sasuke.
But the current Sasuke's strength had already far surpassed Itachi's imagination, so someone must have intervened.
"You, the 'Clan Destroyer Itachi,' don't need to worry about this!"
Sasuke responded with a cold face.
He wasn't like Naruto, with his thick nerves, who would reveal his intelligence with a simple probe.
Sheathing his sword and performing hand seals, he took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
It was a classic Uchiha fire technique.
Whoosh!
A massive fireball flew towards Itachi, who was sitting on the stone chair.
Apart from Danpei, the Uchiha's high-level fire techniques were also known as 'Compassionate Ninjutsu.'
It couldn't kill people!
The issue wasn't about power.
If only discussing power, Fire Style might be the strongest among the five nature transformations.
The problem was that the attack speed was too slow!
Ninjas were a profession that emphasized speed and agility, making it genuinely challenging to hit the target.
Itachi jumped, sticking close to the roof and bypassing the fireball below.
Zzzra!
As he passed through the fireball, he also heard the rumbling of thunder.
It turned out that Sasuke's Great Fireball Jutsu was just a cover; the real killing move was the Chidori.
Sasuke had predicted that Itachi would bypass the fireball and engage in close combat, so he used Chidori in advance to take advantage of the situation.
Swish!
Itachi dodged, but his cheek was grazed, leaving a small wound.
Boom!
At the same time, the roof of the secret chamber was pierced by this Lightning Style technique.
Although the injury wasn't severe, it slightly shook Itachi's confidence in controlling everything.
'When did this happen?'
Indeed, when did his brother's growth surpass his expectations?
As he thought about this, Itachi jumped through the roof that had been pierced by Chidori, exiting the secret chamber and onto the base's dome-shaped roof, which was as vast as a plaza.
"Uchiha Itachi!"
Sasuke accelerated and followed, rushing out of the secret chamber and onto the secret base's roof.
