"Be careful!"
Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama warned each other simultaneously!
The two quickly maneuvered the blue Suzaku Wooden Man to dodge and retreat!
Akihara Kagura manipulated the white Suzaku Wooden Man, holding the samurai blade horizontally, and pursued them across the water's surface, the hundred-meter-tall Suzaku Wooden Man relentlessly closing in on them step by step!
Akihara Kagura is incredibly strong!
This was something recognized by the entire Ninja World!
However, only those who had personally encountered the formidable power Akihara Kagura unleashed could truly feel the terror of this individual. He possessed enormous Chakra yet managed to control it with meticulous precision!
The hundred-meter-tall white Suzaku Wooden Man, under his control, moved with terrifying agility, as if it were a living human!
"Wood Release: Wood Expulsion Jutsu!"
Senju Hashirama hurriedly formed hand seals!
In the hand of the blue Suzaku Wooden Man appeared a solid shield, rapidly layered with blue armor plates of Susanoo!
The blue Suzaku Wooden Man held a glowing blue samurai blade in its left hand and a blue wooden shield in its right, with a blue wooden dragon perched on its shoulder, armed to the teeth!
"Wood Release: Wood Expulsion Jutsu!"
Akihara Kagura simultaneously clasped his palms together!
A white glowing wooden shield appeared in the hand of the white Suzaku Wooden Man!
The next moment!
The two gigantic figures, each over a hundred meters tall, collided!
The ground of Turtle Island trembled incessantly from the clash of the massive Suzaku Wooden Men, so heavy that the island itself, drifting all along, began to sink into the sea; its massive body simply couldn't bear the weight of such a terrifying battle!
By comparison…
The other side's battle suffered collateral damage.
The battle between the Uchiha brothers, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, appeared somewhat overshadowed. The fight between the purple Susanoo and red Susanoo was forced to a halt.
"Now, tell me the truth!"
Uchiha Sasuke insisted on uncovering the truth he longed to know, ignoring the distant fight, his eyes blazing with anger!
"Itachi, do you know what I have been through? My own brother killed his family and sought to destroy his clan just to protect his brother. Is this the truth?"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi remained silent without a response.
The man who had nearly annihilated the Uchiha remained silent for a moment before slowly nodding, his voice becoming somewhat obscure: "Yes..."
"You know..."
Uchiha Sasuke's heart ached, bewildered and asked, "How do I face those kin in the Root?"
Uchiha Sasuke looked at his brother, his face full of pent-up rage, his voice firm: "I would have rather died on the night of the massacre!"
"Sasuke."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head, sighing inwardly. His eyes met Uchiha Sasuke's gaze: "I'm sorry… I never wanted… you to learn the truth… about the destruction of the Uchiha clan…"
"Now… I want to know everything!"
Uchiha Sasuke swung his arm, his face filled with fury: "Even now, you're dead, until when will you hide it from me!"
"I understand now…"
Uchiha Itachi sighed inwardly.
But now, he could not break free from Akihara Kagura's control; his Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan, which could change everything, couldn't be reclaimed in time…
At present…
Uchiha Itachi remained under Akihara Kagura's control.
Watching his brother's enraged face, Uchiha Itachi attempted to use the Transcription Seal to pass his memories to Uchiha Sasuke, intending to defy Akihara Kagura's orders and let his brother decide his future!
However…
As he made a move, he was suddenly stopped by someone!
Uchiha Itachi's mind came to a standstill in an instant!
The man's eyes widened in disbelief!
Because he knew who was controlling his body, the very person who fought against Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had the leisure to control him!
That guy…
Just how strong is he!
To be able to pay attention here while being attacked by two legendary figures!
Uchiha Itachi's mental willpower was no match for Akihara Kagura's control, utterly unable to resist his dominance!
"Akihara Kagura…"
Uchiha Itachi's spirit was in torment, muttering his aim: "I merely wanted… to tell Sasuke the truth…"
"Fool!"
Just a faint hiss in his mind!
And Uchiha Itachi's will was struck like a lightning bolt!
The next moment!
Uchiha Itachi's body was taken over!
But…
The externally controlled Uchiha Itachi appeared unchanged.
Uchiha Itachi's consciousness was even more tortured, clutching his forehead, seeming to strive against something internally, attempting to fight the will controlling him!
"Itachi!"
Uchiha Sasuke was startled by Uchiha Itachi's actions, instantly appearing beside him: "What's happening? What's wrong with you?"
"I wanted to use the Transcription Seal to pass my memories to you…"
Uchiha Itachi groaned, his mind in agony: "But now, I can't escape Akihara Kagura's control. He just wants to use me to kill you, to hinder all your actions, leaving you forever lost in confusion…"
