Chapter 876: The Divine Spirit Tool!
Chapter 876: The Divine Spirit Tool!
"Sasuke, you can't possibly win!"
Itachi looked up at Sasuke, who was standing atop a stone tablet in the distance, and sighed softly.
Although his younger brother had given him plenty of 'surprises', as long as he had these eyes, there was no way his opponent could ever beat him.
"That's not necessarily true!"
Sasuke had heard Itachi's words, but he didn't pay them any mind.
At that moment, dark clouds gathered in the sky, blocking out the sun and dimming the light.
"Could it be...!"
Itachi also sensed something amiss and looked up at the rapidly changing sky.
"Itachi, how far can your nearly blind eyes see? Let me show you!"
Sasuke finished speaking and formed hand seals, then shouted, "Lightning Style: Kirin!"
Crackle!
Silver lightning bolts crisscrossed within the pitch-black clouds.
A thunderous roar echoed through the heavens as Sasuke's right hand lit up with the Thousand Bird.
Countless silver lightning bolts gathered above his head, forming a lightning beast as large as a mountain.
The electric glow emitted by the Thousand Bird seemed to control the lightning beast like a rein.
"Let the thunder bury everything!"
Sasuke waved his right hand, controlling the lightning beast like a puppeteer.
Boom!
Amidst the deep rumble of thunder, the massive lightning beast charged straight down towards Itachi.
The silver-white electric glow engulfed everything, leaving only that color between heaven and earth.
There wasn't much of an explosion.
No, that's not right!
It wasn't that there was no sound, but because their ears had temporarily gone deaf, they couldn't hear anything.
As the lightning that filled their field of vision dispersed, their hearing slowly returned.
"This!"
Xiang Lin was surprised as she looked at the secret base in front of her.
She hadn't expected that Lightning Style could have such an exaggerated destructive power.
Previous experiences with Lightning Style left the impression of speed and piercing power, but not 'large-scale' destructive capability.
It turned out that there were Lightning Styles with such power, but ordinary ninjas were simply unaware of them.
The reason Xiang Lin was shocked was that this Lightning Style's destructive power was enough to overwhelm her.
The enormous base, covering nearly ten acres, was completely swallowed by lightning, leaving behind only a pile of rubble, looking as if it had been bombarded by heavy artillery, a truly pitiful sight.
If they hadn't seen its previous state, no one would dare believe that this ruin had been a complete base just a few minutes ago.
And within this ruin...
Half of a Susanoo, over ten meters tall, stood enveloped in a vermillion Crow Tengu Armor.
What drew attention was the nearly human-height red shield in the left hand of this half-formed Susanoo, its edges glowing like dancing flames.
Yata Mirror! It was also one of the two trump cards of Daxiaozzi, Itachi Uchiha.
This spirit tool's effect was off the charts.
Not only could it change its attributes based on incoming attacks, rendering ninjutsu useless, but it could also block all physical attacks.
It was like an external cheat! If one didn't know about it beforehand and collided with it head-on, they would surely be 'one-shotted'.
In the original storyline, Orochimaru had experienced this firsthand.
However, if one had prior knowledge, it was not impossible to counter.
It was just a shield!
As long as the attack wasn't blocked, it would be fine.
After all, a shield could only block attacks from one direction.
As for the other spirit tool, it was also a good item that even Tang Ping coveted.
Ten Fist Sword! It was a sword with a gourd-shaped hilt.
The blade could extend and retract freely like the Ame-no-Murakumo, but it wouldn't be too exaggerated.
The most incredible ability was that the target it pierced would be trapped in an illusion within the gourd, unable to escape.
These two spirit tools, one offensive and one defensive, complemented each other perfectly. If Pain Rikudo didn't have prior knowledge, he would surely have been defeated.
What was most speechless was that Itachi had never leaked any information about these two spirit tools before today; he had kept this secret to himself.
He was extremely cautious!
No wonder he could face anyone with composure; with such an abundance of trump cards, he lived up to his formidable reputation.
The super S-rank ninjutsu from earlier would have been unstoppable even by Susanoo if not for the Yata Mirror.
This ninjutsu involved the use of natural energy, making it half a senjutsu.
"How much longer can your eyes hold out!"
Sasuke slowly approached the three-stage Susanoo in front of him, feeling that his revenge was within reach.
Because at that moment, Itachi's eyes were filled with blood.
Taking a shortcut to awakening the Rinnegan, Sasuke bleeds from using the Mangekyo Sharingan, as if it's a natural occurrence.
But he didn't consider that Madara never faced such a situation when using the Mangekyo. In the end, it's not the Mangekyo that's flawed, but Sasuke's own weakness.
Swish!
A purple Susanoo rises from the ground, confronting the red Susanoo before it.
However, in terms of size, even Sasuke's Second Stage Susanoo towers over Itachi's Third Stage Susanoo.
The size of Susanoo is determined by the user's eye power.
And Sasuke's eye power is undoubtedly stronger than Itachi's. After all, he awakened his Sharingan at an older age than Itachi, and with the abundance of Radiant Potions, his eye power is at its peak. It would be strange if his eye power wasn't superior.
Unless Itachi can master the Yang Style or implant Hashirama cells, there's no way to increase the upper limit of his eye power through training.
Therefore, even though he awakened his Sharingan earlier, his eye power is at a disadvantage.
His only advantage is mastering the Third Stage Susanoo, which is stronger than Sasuke's Second Stage due to his lack of proficiency. Additionally, he possesses two Spirit Tools.
"I never expected..."
Susanoo-clad Itachi falls silent, genuinely surprised that his younger brother has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Read the unedited version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar.
In his plan, Itachi intended for Sasuke to awaken his Sharingan today, then transplant Itachi's eyes to gain the same eyes as Madara.
But he didn't anticipate this!
Sasuke doesn't need his help; he already possesses the Mangekyo.
Amidst the ruins, the purple Susanoo's massive fist slams down.
Boom!
The ground, now a vast wasteland, trembles slightly.
The power is overwhelming!
A complete Susanoo could effortlessly slice through mountains and flatten rivers.
While the Second Stage is far inferior, a single punch is no mere 'small fist pounding your chest.'
Even steel would be crushed.
However, the red Susanoo, shrouded in the Crow Tengu Armor, appears shorter, blocking the strike with its shield.
Eight Trigrams Mirror!
True to its nature as a Spirit Tool, not even such a powerful attack leaves it unaffected.
Naturally, it counters with its own.
"Amaterasu!"
Itachi's voice is hoarse as blood flows from the corner of his eye once more.
Whoosh!
A pitch-black flame ignites on the purple Susanoo.
Even Susanoo can't withstand this so-called 'strongest physical attack.'
But Sasuke smiles.
"Flame Style: Kagutsuchi!"
He activates the right eye's Mangekyo ability.
Upon awakening the Mangekyo, in addition to the universal 'God's Power' of Susanoo, two unique abilities emerge.
Sasuke's Mangekyo abilities are Amaterasu in the left eye and Kagutsuchi in the right.
It's safe to say that Amaterasu is a common ability in their clan, and its effects require no introduction.
However, Kagutsuchi's ability is to control Amaterasu.
The once-rampant flames can now be shaped into various forms.
It's a perfect match! Moreover, this ability's effects aren't limited to controlling one's own Amaterasu flames.
They can control others' Amaterasu flames as well.
Consequently, the purple Susanoo, initially vulnerable under Amaterasu's flames, suddenly 'grabs' the black flames with its giant right hand.
Strangely enough, these flames transform into a pitch-black longsword, held in its grasp.
With this, not only does the purple Susanoo counter Itachi's offense, but it can also turn the attack against him.
Indeed, with the black longsword forged from Amaterasu, the purple Susanoo gains the upper hand, relentlessly pressing the red Susanoo.
Only the Eight Trigrams Mirror allows Itachi to block the attacks; otherwise, it would have ended much earlier.
- However, someone has a different perspective.
Several hundred meters away, atop a stone wall.
"Izumi, get ready. It's almost your turn!"
Hyuuga Tsukuyuki speaks up.
Her words surprise the girls who were spectating.
After all, Sasuke seemed to be winning, didn't he?
"That's right, Izumi. It's your turn!"
Tang Ping sighs, urging Izumi to follow Hyuuga Tsukuyuki's instructions.
Because... Sasuke has lost.
Even though the situation appears to favor him overwhelmingly.
