'It's not poison... it's as if I have lost contact with my body and physical energy. Because of this, my chakra is also not responding.....'
Although Sasuke was still calm on the outside, he was constantly thinking of possible solutions while watching Itachi's hand reaching for his eyes.
SNAP
"Tsk, tsk, tsk.... Sasuke, look how shocked you are. That was just a small reminder to you to be alert at all times. A few months later, Isshiki will attack Konoha. You and Naruto will fight him, but after getting your asses kicked, Naruto, as a last resort, uses Baryon Mode, sacrificing Kurama and finally defeating Isshiki. But you became careless and thus lost your Rinnegan.
You still have time until Urashiki arrives. I don't have any interest in the Konoha of your timeline... the only thing that interests me is the cyborgs and Amado of your world. With me, of course, Kara wouldn't exist, so I wanted to feel their strength.
As for Amado, although he now works for me alongside Orochimaru, without Shibai Otsutsuki's genes and Isshiki's alien knowledge, he is still behind the one in your world."
Amenotejikara
The moment Sasuke regained the ability to control his body and chakra, he exchanged positions with a stone half a kilometre away while listening to Itachi's words.
"I will give you my answer before leaving."
SWISH
Seeing Sasuke disappear, Itachi looked below with a smile. After his previous travel to a parallel world, he travelled to the Roran Dragon Veins many times, and finally he could start to control time.
Just now, he had stopped the time of Sasuke's physical body while leaving his soul free. Though this might not work on other Six Paths-level beings, as they wouldn't sit beside him waiting to get hit. He still has to explore time more.

Colosseum
"Now that all the participants have sat in their respective seats inside the arena, a barrier will prevent you from seeing the battle outside and the audience outside until your turn has arrived.
Now, I would request the first participant to enter the arena. There is no order for entering, and whoever wants to can enter."
Hearing this, all the participants looked at their companions to discuss. The first to go would naturally be the center of attention, but if they lost, then they would lose face. They didn't perfectly know Itachi's strength at each age, so selecting too low would be embarrassing, and selecting too strong would be a disaster.
"Raikage-sama, are you sure you want to go first? The risk is too high. During this period, we can buy some information from other villages or Mizumori."
Seeing Ai about to stand up, the Kumogakure ninja immediately voiced their concern.
"I will go first."
Before Ai could answer, Obito stood up, walking towards the entry door.
"Bastards, because of you, I lost the chance."
Ai, seeing Obito beat him to it, raised his eyes in anger towards the ninja but also calmed down, thinking about their suggestion.
Tobirama, seeing Obito entering the arena, put his hand down while waiting for Obito's fight to end. He had already collected all the known information about Itachi, even from the people slayed by Itachi's hands, so he didn't need to ask others, making the wait pointless.
Another reason was that he wanted to witness all of Itachi's fights, from a young age to the present, so that he could find his weaknesses, mistakes, or patterns. Fighting a ninja battle is half won with complete intelligence, and since Itachi was practically begging him to see his jutsu and techniques, he would fulfill his wish.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let's welcome our first contestant, the Hero of Kannabi Bridge, Uchiha Obitooooo!!!!"
Obito, hearing the cheers from the audience, smiled and waved his hands with enthusiasm, especially towards Rin. He didn't care about the other audience members or even this competition, but he had to make a good impression for Rin, and what better way than to become the winner of the world's greatest competition?
"Obito-sama, which age do you choose?"
Seeing everyone calm down, the Uchiha anchor asked Obito.
"Let's do thirteen years."
If he said he knew the second most about Itachi, then no one would dare claim first. Although he was subdued by twelve-year-old Itachi, ultimately that was due to Talk-no-Jutsu. In this competition, the clone wouldn't use that (insider hint). Without that disgusting Genjutsu, of course he was confident he could beat even the thirteen-year-old Itachi. (Itachi gains the Domain six months after his thirteenth birthday, so it will be counted in his fourteenth year.)
"Then I would request the clone of Itachi-sama to follow the process."
As the anchor said this, he also left the arena, leaving the field to Obito and Itachi's clone, who was slowly getting younger.
"Itachi, give your best."
As Obito said this, he opened his Mangekyo Sharingan and Three-tomoe Sharingan and partially entered the Kamui Dimension.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu
Itachi didn't reply to Obito as he spat out a three-story fireball towards Obito.
Wood Release: Cutting Technique
Obito ignored the huge fireball as he passed through it while reaching towards Itachi with his right hand rushing towards his chest.
Body Flicker Jutsu
Shurikenjutsu
Itachi, dodging Obito's right hand, threw multiple kunai, which collided with each other, attacking Obito from multiple unpredictable directions.
Kamui
Lightning Style: Chidori
Kamui
Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique
Kamui
Fire Style : Dragon Flame Jutsu
Kamui
Water Style: Great Water Wave
Kamui
In the next five minutes, Itachi spammed one jutsu after another, but Obito continued to use his disgusting Kamui, not even bothering to attack now.
Seeing this, even the emotionless Itachi clone was annoyed.
Fire Style: Great Fire Extinguisher
Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance
Seeing Itachi spitting out a continuous stream of fire, Obito finally became interested as he used Kamui while spitting fire, which, under the control of Kamui, became spiral waves of flames raging towards the sea of fire to block it.
Chidori Style: Chidori Spear
Chidori Style: Chidori Body Flow
Seeing Obito block his jutsu, Itachi formed a Chidori Spear and enhanced his body with lightning as he rushed towards Obito.
Seeing this, Obito summoned his Gunbai (Madara's war fan) and blocked the Chidori while swinging the kusarigama (a sickle with chains attached to it) towards Itachi.
For the next five minutes, Itachi and Obito fought to a draw. One moment Itachi attacked, Obito would block it and then attack with his sickle, which Itachi blocked with his other spear.... Though the audience weren't bored by the repetitive attacks, as they were completely engrossed in watching this art.
"Itachi, let's get serious."
Obito, after using his Kamui to create some distance, said as blue chakra started to materialize around him, forming a skeleton. Then meridians, veins, and muscles formed around it as, within seconds, a twenty-meter-tall half Susanoo formed with two fifteen-meter-long swords in its hands. The next moment, Obito waved his hand as the two swords slashed towards Itachi with unending destruction.
Fire Style: Majestic Flames Jutsu
Wind Style: Great Wind Breakthrough
In response, Itachi formed a Shadow Clone and, with the help of Wind Chakra, formed a greater sea of fire rushing towards the Susanoo.
SWOOOOSHHHHH BOOM BOOMMMM
The next second, the slightly damaged Susanoo swords passing through the sea of fire slashed towards Itachi smashing him to pieces....
CAW CAW CAW CAW
The next moment, all the flesh and blood on the ground turned into crows as they flew and gathered into another unharmed Itachi.
"A Crow Clone, huh? Then how about this."
Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence
The next second, the entire arena started to shake and crack as, within seconds, huge roots and branches emerged, strangling everything within it.
Wind Style: Multiple Wind Blades
In response, in one corner of the arena, multiple wind blades cut through all the wood, making a clear space in between.
