Chapter 69 Farewell to the Gods
Chapter 69 Farewell to the Gods
This time, Fugaku made a rare decision: he was determined to give his son a belated family education.
"Takemikazuchi!"
As soon as he thought of it, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly exploded, and a huge thunder dragon rushed out from the clouds. It was silvery white all over, and its body was trailing lightning. It carried the acrid smell of ionized air, like a punishment sent down by the gods, and rushed straight down towards Uchiha Itachi.
This Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique originally belonged to him, and it was much easier to use than the forced activation of the technique by Uchiha An.
Although limited by the quality of the White Zetsu offerings, the strength he can unleash now is definitely not as high as when he was alive.
But now he's in Edo Tensei form, with almost unlimited chakra, and he doesn't care if he's blind or not. He can unleash his ultimate moves whenever he wants, without holding back at all.
Itachi had no choice but to activate Susanoo and raise his shield to block the attack head-on.
"boom!"
The Thunder Dragon slammed heavily into Susanoo's shield, the enormous impact causing the ground to shake violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
A terrifying explosion erupted instantly, and blinding lightning streaked across the battlefield like countless silver arrows, instantly covering the entire battlefield.
The electric current, carrying a paralyzing power, wandered through the air and was attracted by the bioelectricity of the surrounding ninjas, automatically converging towards them.
The Konoha ninjas tried to dodge, but were entangled by the reckless Uchiha and unable to escape.
The impure bodies are unaffected by lightning. Their bodies only pause slightly under the influence of the electric current before they pounce again. Taking advantage of the moment when the Konoha ninja are paralyzed, they stab their kunai fiercely into the opponent's vital points, trading their lives for each other.
As lightning rolled by, dozens more ninjas from Konoha fell, all of them members of the sealing team.
Despite being unharmed by the powerful defense of Susanoo during this attack, Itachi Uchiha glanced across the battlefield and knew that the situation was not good.
"No, if this continues, the sealing team will be wiped out very soon. Without sealing ninjas, the Edo Tensei will be invincible."
There is only one way to completely solve this problem.
"To catch the thief, first catch the king!"
He turned his gaze back to Uchiha An, who was holding Naruto and laughing wildly to the side.
"Itachi, where are you looking?"
Fugaku's angry voice drew Itachi's attention back, and what came crashing down was Black Susanoo's fist, as big as a house.
When Rairyu's bombardment proved ineffective, Fugaku naturally stopped making futile attempts and pounced directly at his son, intending to let his son taste his father's "iron fist of love."
Unfortunately, his son had absolutely no interest in engaging in a "fight of love" with him.
After Itachi controlled Susanoo and clashed head-on with Black Susanoo several times, he realized that it would be difficult to overpower Fugaku in a short period of time.
He changed his tactics in a flash.
He seized an opportunity to quickly cancel his Susanoo, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.
"Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!"
With a "whoosh," Itachi disappeared from his original spot and emerged from underground the next moment, standing in front of Fugaku.
Thanks to Uchiha An, almost everyone knows that the weakness of the half-body Susanoo lies in the feet, but unfortunately, Fugaku's Edo Tensei form is not among these people.
Caught off guard by Itachi's sudden close approach, he immediately had one of his arms shattered.
"It's no use, Itachi, this body of mine..."
Fugaku intended to exchange a few more words with his son, but Itachi had no intention of wasting time talking to his biological father. Taking advantage of the fact that he was missing an arm, Itachi struck repeatedly and mercilessly.
Fugaku hastily parried a few moves before Itachi smashed his head open with a single punch.
Without its head, the original Black Susanoo vanished into thin air.
Itachi used both hands and feet, striking Fugaku with lightning speed, shattering him into pieces.
"It's no use, Itachi..."
When Fugaku regained his senses and resumed his verbal sparring, he found that there was no one in front of him; Itachi had vanished.
He hurriedly turned his head and looked around, only to find that Itachi had already rushed in front of Uchiha An and raised a Sharingan in his hand.
"An, turn back! Let's protect Konoha Village together!"
"Kotoamatsukami!"
Kotoamatsukami is hailed as the strongest illusion technique, capable of completely altering a person's mindset and making them operate entirely according to another person's ideas.
What's even more terrifying is that people under the spell don't realize that their thoughts have been changed; they only feel that everything comes from their own heart and they can find perfect, self-consistent reasons for their actions.
Self-Strategy!
This is many times stronger than Obito using genjutsu to control the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura!
Danzo obtained Shisui's eyes and spent over ten years using them, yet he could only control Mifune, who wasn't a ninja. He couldn't even control the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Ultimately, this was because he wasn't an Uchiha and couldn't unleash the full power of Shisui's eyes.
However, unlike Danzo, who could only use Shisui's eyes to balance the First Hokage's Wood Release cells, Itachi, being a fellow Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha, was able to unleash some of the power of this eye.
His method of use is similar to An's use of Fugaku's eyes; both rely on the power of their own Mangekyou Sharingan to forcefully activate it. Although it consumes more energy and reduces the power somewhat, it is indeed possible to activate.
Given the power of Kotoamatsukami, once it can be successfully activated, there is no way anyone can escape.
Therefore, Itachi had great confidence in this eye.
He firmly believed that even if Uchiha An could use his eye power to mitigate some of the power, he couldn't be completely unaffected.
Even if it's impossible to completely and permanently rewrite Uchiha An's entire mindset, it's still possible to rewrite only a small part of the most crucial content, such as his hatred for Konoha Village.
If Uchiha An stops hating Konoha so much, then they can pull him to their side and make him a staunch loyal dog of the village.
Once Uchiha An is dealt with, the village will naturally take control of all the reanimated bodies of the Uchiha clan.
If the village wanted to use them, they would forcibly order them to fight for their fellow villagers, making them the village's right-hand men and playing a vital role in helping the village defend against external enemies.
If the village doesn't want to use them, they can completely disband them and let them return to the underworld to enter eternal rest.
Knowing when to advance and when to retreat is key; anything goes.
As long as Uchiha An is dealt with!
Seeing the Mangekyou Sharingan in his hand dimming, Itachi knew that the "Kotoamatsukami" eye technique had taken effect. He immediately put away Shisui's eyes and smiled as he extended a hand of friendship to Uchiha An.
"Hey, An, welcome back!"
"Welcome to Konoha Village!"
