"That guy..."
Uchiha Sasuke pursed his lips.
Is this Akihara Kagura's punishment?
Just when he had peeled back the veil of truth, and even felt some confusion and guilt towards his brother, he chose to question Akihara Kagura, only to be expelled from Root by Akihara Kagura, directly standing in opposition to Akihara Kagura...
That man...
Because Uchiha Itachi once intended to harm Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou, he cultivated Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi's brother, for the brothers to destroy each other...
Now knowing the truth, Akihara Kagura resurrected and controlled Uchiha Itachi to kill him, once again using brotherly conflict to take revenge for his betrayal!
"Then I..."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at his struggling brother who was still resisting Akihara Kagura's will: "Should I seal your actions first?"
"It's useless..."
"Even if you seal me, others will come to kill you..."
"While Akihara Kagura is still fighting, I can still speak..."
"Remember what I'm about to tell you; it might be too late if we delay, Akihara Kagura won't give us more chances, I want to share the truth with you..."
Uchiha Itachi gazed at the distant battlefield, speaking in a deep tone: "Now, I must first break free from Akihara Kagura's control. Before my death, I left a backup plan, it's the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan that Shisui once gave me, an eye that has a powerful Genjutsu capable of silently altering someone's will, which I transferred to a crow..."
"That Dojutsu..."
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise.
"A will-altering Dojutsu..."
Uchiha Sasuke thought of something else, recalling the imminent crisis in the Ninja World: "Can it be used to alter Akihara Kagura's will?"
"No..."
"Genjutsu is ineffective against the Rinnegan..."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head, seemingly unable to hold on any longer.
Uchiha Itachi pressed his forehead, continuing with a strained voice: "Akihara Kagura has already sent someone to retrieve that crow, now it's with Shisui..."
"Help me get that eye back..."
Uchiha Itachi's body began trembling, his voice pained: "Shisui is also on this island, you should be able to defeat him now..."
"As long as that eye works, I can regain control of my body, share all my memories with you, and even help you in battle..."
"Hurry!"
The next moment!
Uchiha Itachi's body went berserk instantly!
Uchiha Itachi seemed to have completely lost his will, launching an attack on Uchiha Sasuke, but it was clear he was outmatched by his younger brother!
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes quietly transformed into Mangekyo Sharingan, freezing Uchiha Itachi's body in place: "Stay here for a while... I'll retrieve the Kotoamatsukami first... free you from Akihara Kagura's control..."
In the next second!
Uchiha Sasuke's body disappeared from the spot!
As long as Uchiha Shisui is on this Turtle Island, Uchiha Sasuke will soon find him!
Elsewhere.
Akihara Kagura was still battling with two legendary figures!
The hundred-meter tall white Suzaku Wooden Man wielded a samurai blade glowing white, slicing heavily through the shield of the blue Suzaku Wooden Man; its samurai blade appeared extremely sharp!
Inside the crystal on the forehead of the blue Suzaku Wooden Man, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara both witnessed the piercing blade light, their expressions turning grim!
Even with seemingly identical jutsu…
Yet the gap between the two Suzaku Wooden Men remained!
Akihara Kagura controlled the white Suzaku Wooden Man, releasing the white wooden shield and raising its broad palm, a massive Rasengan appeared in its hand!
The ten-meter diameter Rasengan glowed white, heavily pressing onto the chest of the blue Suzaku Wooden Man, creating a large circular hole in its upper body, shattering the armor of Susanoo, and the wooden man inside was reduced to splinters!
This strike!
Split the blue Suzaku Wooden Man's body into two!
The head of the blue Suzaku Wooden Man toppled down, forcing Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara to leave their protective crystal!
"Seems undefeatable..."
Senju Hashirama scratched his head embarrassedly.
"..."
Uchiha Madara took a deep breath, seeming to recall something, squinting his eyes: "This kid's chakra manipulation is even stronger than your granddaughter's... The wooden man's insides mimic the chakra pathways of a human..."
In the next moment!
The towering white Suzaku Wooden Man looked down at the two tiny figures on the ground, lifting its foot to crush them!
Senju Hashirama raised his hand!
Uchiha Madara simultaneously raised his hand!
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
The two simultaneously used the Deep Forest Emergence jutsu, thick vine roots burst out of the ground, countless vines twisted into thick ropes, entangling the white Suzaku Wooden Man's body!
The white Suzaku Wooden Man twisted forcefully, swinging its samurai blade to slice through the vines, a fierce slash followed the blade's edge, slicing off a section of the thorn-like stone pillars on Turtle Island!
