Chapter 88: The White Emperor Sword
The Totsuka Blade collided with Senbonzakura's petals.
Boom!
The terrifying force produced a massive impact, forcing Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo back several steps.
Uchiha Itachi was slightly surprised. He couldn't help but look deeply at Naruto.
This was the first time since he had activated Susanoo that someone had made him retreat.
But he quickly composed himself. He knew how powerful Susanoo's defense was—the strongest weapon of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Even against Naruto, he thought it was impossible to break through.
This was the ultimate technique known as absolute defense.
Uchiha Itachi glanced at Hoshigaki Kisame and frowned.
At that moment, Kisame was covered in scars. Bloody. Wounds all over his body.
He hadn't expected Kisame's injuries to be this severe. Naruto's attack had been so terrifying that even Kisame—merged with Samehada—couldn't withstand it.
Soon, Uchiha Itachi said:
"Kisame, let's retreat for now. The information was wrong. Report what happened here to the leader and let them decide."
Kisame seemed not to have heard Uchiha Itachi's words. He still gritted his teeth sullenly, very unwilling to accept his defeat.
And Naruto, when he heard that Uchiha Itachi wanted to leave, snorted coldly. He turned his hand, and countless Sakura petals suddenly condensed in his grasp.
"Leaving? It's not that easy."
After Naruto finished speaking, all the petals swept toward Uchiha Itachi once more.
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi didn't panic at all. He controlled Susanoo, brandished the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror, and blocked every single petal.
The Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror were truly divine weapons. Under Susanoo's strikes, they could actually block Senbonzakura's attacks.
Seeing this, Naruto knew that ordinary attacks couldn't break through Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo.
So he withdrew all the petals and prepared to use his ultimate move.
After Uchiha Itachi blocked the thousands of petals, he looked at Naruto indifferently and said mockingly:
"Stop it."
"I admit that among the people I've met, you are among the strongest."
"But that alone cannot shake Susanoo's defenses."
"As a user of Susanoo yourself, you should know how powerful its defense is. This is the ultimate technique known as absolute defense. No one can break it."
Hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Naruto didn't feel discouraged at all. Instead, he smiled lightly, looked at Uchiha Itachi, and said in a cold voice:
"Absolute defense?"
"Before me—there is no such thing as absolute defense."
"Watch me break it."
As the words fell—
A powerful chakra erupted from Naruto in an instant.
Countless chakra condensed in Naruto's hands, forming a pure white blade made entirely of the purest power.
The blade shone brilliantly, like a radiant sun.
At the same time, thousands of Sakura petals also condensed around Naruto, forming a pair of dazzling wings.
These wings seemed to be gathering strength for Naruto, continuously providing him with essence.
The terrifying blade was constantly accumulating power. Absorbing the radiance of Senbonzakura.
All of the power was concentrated entirely on this blade.
At this moment, this blade seemed to be the sword of the Heavenly Emperor.
As soon as it appeared, the entire space could barely contain its terrifying power. A buzzing sound filled the air.
After Uchiha Itachi noticed the terrifying power of the White Emperor Sword, his eyes went wide in astonishment. He was extremely shocked.
He had never felt such terrifying fighting spirit and chakra.
This chakra seemed capable of shaking the heavens and the earth. It felt as if one strike could split the entire world in two.
After Uchiha Itachi felt this, his face changed drastically.
But before he could react, the next moment—Naruto opened his eyes.
Those eyes had been filled with pure fighting spirit and power. They turned silver-white.
Then, Naruto gave a light shout:
"Final Scene—White Emperor Sword."
As the words fell—
Naruto waved his hand gently.
The silver-white blade, which had condensed all of his power, swept across the sky and struck down in an instant.
The entire silver-white blade was like the sword of heavenly judgment descending from above.
Boom!
Uchiha Itachi didn't even have time to react. He didn't even make a move to block.
The Final Scene—White Emperor Sword—had already fallen upon Susanoo.
Then, Uchiha Itachi watched in horror.
Susanoo—what he called the strongest defense, absolute defense—was slashed by the White Emperor Sword. It could not withstand the terrifying power of the blade.
On the massive Susanoo armor, cracks began to appear.
Then, the full power of the White Emperor Sword exploded.
Susanoo finally couldn't take it anymore.
Bang!
The massive Susanoo shattered.
It was directly destroyed by the White Emperor Sword—a single strike.
Shattered into pieces.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted sharply. His expression was one of extreme horror.
He couldn't believe it.
Just moments ago, he had declared this was absolute defense—Susanoo, unbreakable by any means. And now, it had been destroyed by Naruto with a single sword.
How was this possible?
Uchiha Itachi roared in shock:
"How is that possible! Someone actually broke through Susanoo's defenses? Impossible!"
But reality was this cruel.
Susanoo—the absolute defense he had believed in—now looked utterly ridiculous.
Naruto had destroyed it with one sword.
This was the strongest power of Senbonzakura's Bankai—Final Scene, White Emperor Sword.
Concentrate all the power of Senbonzakura into a single blade.
This sword was earth-shattering. It could move gods and demons to tears. No force could stop it.
And after the White Emperor Sword destroyed Susanoo, its terrifying power didn't stop there.
The sword energy streaked through the air and rushed straight toward the terrified Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi couldn't bear it. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. He crashed directly into the ground, smashing a massive crater.
Seeing this scene, everyone around opened their mouths in astonishment.
They had thought Naruto's power earlier was strong enough. But unexpectedly, Naruto could become even stronger.
That earlier power hadn't been Naruto's full strength at all. Naruto still had such terrifying techniques.
This White Emperor Sword was simply too terrifying. It made all of them tremble just watching it.
