Chapter 878: Personal Grudge!
Chapter 878: Personal Grudge!
After downing the potion, Itachi felt his blurred vision clearing up, and his weakened body regaining its vigor.
"How is that possible?!" Itachi exclaimed.
"Why not?" Quan replied with disdain, "You think it's impossible because of your limited capacity, but the bloodline illness is nothing to us!"
She was mocking him with his favorite word, 'capacity'.
He liked to measure himself by his 'capacity', and now she was giving him a taste of his own medicine.
In the Shinobi World, even the dead could be resurrected, and changing bodies was as easy as changing clothes. Healing a bloodline illness was not impossible.
As long as you had the strength to do so.
Orochimaru's failure wasn't due to his lack of skill, but because he didn't have the unique resources and insights.
For Tang Ping, curing Itachi's bloodline illness was not a difficult task.
But why would he?
Why would he willingly spend time and effort to completely cure him?
He just wanted to have some fun.
So, the version he created was a special type.
It would restore the person to their peak condition for a short period, but afterward, it would only be able to preserve their life, preventing death from the bloodline illness.
As long as they could live to atone for their sins, there was no need to guarantee their strength.
"I hope you can kill me, otherwise, if I don't die, I will definitely kill Sasuke!" Quan interrupted Itachi before he could say more.
Yes, if he wanted to save Sasuke, he had to go all out and kill her.
For this brother-obsessed man, he would even destroy the world for his brother, so how could he not give his all?
Therefore, there was no need to worry about him launching another 'Pacific Ocean' battle.
If he dared to go easy on her, it would mean Sasuke's death.
Quan understood that her teacher wanted her to defeat Itachi at his peak, which was why he had spent the effort to prepare the potion for him. That's why she was using Sasuke to threaten him.
And she meant every word.
If he dared to hold back, she would kill Sasuke as she had said.
Undoubtedly, Hyuga Tsukuyuki would not protect him.
Itachi could sense the seriousness in Quan's words.
So, he exuded a killing intent.
Anyone who threatened his brother would face his wrath.
At that moment, the specially crafted potion took full effect, restoring Itachi's strength to its peak.
Even his eye power was replenished, allowing him to use it freely.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Both of them simultaneously performed the fire technique.
However, neither of them specialized in fire techniques, so despite the impressive display, it was merely a cover.
Swish!
Several Quans appeared around Itachi.
Shadow Clone Jutsu! Quan's skill had surpassed that of Seishin, especially in speed and genjutsu.
Itachi was on guard against the phantom attacks from the multiple Quans, not daring to relax or ignore any of them.
He was well aware of the power of this technique.
Neglecting even a single phantom could turn it into a real attack at any moment.
"Fire Style: Peon Flower Fire Jutsu!"
Itachi jumped and performed the fire technique with a hand seal.
Flowers of flame bloomed, covering the area below.
Clearly, he intended to force Quan out of hiding with this wide-range attack and then strike.
"Too slow!" Quan's voice echoed behind Itachi as he landed, making him shudder.
She was right behind him, watching intently.
Whoosh!
Instinctively, Itachi threw two kunai and created some distance.
He realized that even without using lightning to activate her cells, Quan's speed exceeded that of Itachi with activated cells.
The kunai he had thrown were merely a distraction.
He had intended to reflect light and perform a technique, but this simple exchange made it clear that Quan's genjutsu was no weaker than his own.
In this excerpt, the speaker expresses dissatisfaction with their opponent's perceived superiority in genjutsu, a type of illusion technique. They mention the opponent's Mangekyo Sharingan ability, Tsukuyomi, which allows them to manipulate the target's mind and create an alternate reality. The speaker, aware of the opponent's talent in genjutsu, is determined not to lose in this aspect. Especially since the outcome of the battle is crucial for Sasuke, the speaker is going all out.
Unlike their previous battle with Sasuke, where they had to exercise restraint, this time, they are going all out with no holds barred.
"Too slow!" the speaker exclaims, taunting their opponent.
"Is that all?"
"Aren't you the infamous Itachi Uchiha who annihilated the Uchiha clan?"
The speaker, Quan, delivers sharp and scathing remarks, contrasting their usual image.
The original version of this novel can be found at [redacted].
Despite their harsh words, the opponent is Itachi Uchiha, the one who massacred the Uchiha clan, and so they disregard any concern for their image.
Driven by the death of their mother and the vengeance for their clan, Quan harbors deep-seated hatred, which led to the proposal of a revenge plan.
Now, they are venting their anger.
Suddenly, Quan stabs the opponent with a blade, transforming them into a crow.
Itachi seizes this opportunity to engage in close-range combat.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Itachi's right eye activates, unleashing the Mangekyo Sharingan ability.
This ability allows him to trap the target's mind in a controlled mental space, where he holds dominion over everything, even time.
In the mental space, he can torment the target for days, and upon releasing the accumulated mental damage, even the strongest opponents would struggle to withstand it.
In the original story, Kakashi was instantly defeated by Tsukuyomi and had to spend time in the hospital.
This ability is truly formidable.
At this moment, Quan finds herself trapped in a blood-red mental space, bound to a wooden post, while Itachi stands before her with a long sword.
"In this space, everything is under my control..."
Itachi begins to explain the power of his ability.
Don't mistake his words as mere boasting.
By describing the power of Tsukuyomi, Itachi can evoke emotions like fear, worry, and apprehension in the target, making the genjutsu even more effective.
Indeed, Itachi's combat prowess is exceptional, as he capitalizes on every opportunity.
"Is that so? But what makes you think I won't be able to break free from this genjutsu?" Quan asks with a mocking tone.
Her expression conveys a sense of disdain, as if to say that Itachi's renowned genjutsu holds no power over her.
This is not just a personal grudge; it's a tactical move to unsettle Itachi.
In warfare, one must never underestimate the enemy strategically, but tactically, one should always be prepared.
Quan, a genius-level combat talent, understands this principle well.
Her exceptional combat skills, combined with her powerful abilities, have allowed her to earn her notorious reputation.
Even against opponents like Itachi Uchiha, Shizuka, and Suzume, who may have stronger theoretical abilities, Quan's innate combat prowess gives her an edge in life-or-death battles.
Therefore, Quan doesn't underestimate Itachi, even with knowledge of his abilities and background.
Plunging a blade into Quan, Itachi inflicts intense pain.
Although injuries in the Tsukuyomi space don't cause bleeding or death, the pain is very real.
However, Quan's expression remains unchanged, unaffected by the pain.
'What's going on?' Itachi wonders, becoming more cautious.
After stabbing Quan for several minutes with countless strikes, she finally speaks:
"Tsukuyomi is indeed powerful, but if the target has a Sharingan with greater power than yours, who do you think will control this mental space?"
Having prior knowledge of Itachi's abilities, Quan was already prepared. Now, having experienced it firsthand, she confirms her suspicions.
"That's not right!" Itachi's instincts warn him of impending danger.
Before he can release Tsukuyomi, Quan looks up at the blood-red moon and declares:
"World, submit to me!"
Evidently, she has made her move.
