I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

The red-orange light was like lightning that cut through the sky. Suddenly, a huge and majestic Susanoo, like a demon from ancient times, descended in front of Sasuke.

The black flame that could devour everything and made people tremble with fear now seemed so powerless in front of this shield.

It roared and bit madly, trying to break through this seemingly fragile defense, but no matter how it struggled, it could only hit the shield's smooth mirror surface in vain, and then be ruthlessly reflected back and dissipated into nothingness.

At this moment, Amaterasu has lost her former power in front of this shield, as if she was restrained by an invisible force.

Sasuke didn't expect that Amaterasu's ability could not cause any harm to Itachi. If it was an ordinary Susanoo Amaterasu, the performance would not be so bad. The key lies in the shield.

"Yata Mirror..."

Itachi's voice was low and husky.

"It has the ability to change the properties of everything. It changes its own properties according to the properties of the attack, making it invalid. All materialized... ahem... attacks are useless..."

As Itachi spoke these words, his body was shaking violently.

His face was as pale as paper, with bright red blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that forcibly using Susanoo like this had put a great strain on him.

"Is this also your trump card..."

Sasuke was amazed at Itachi's strength, but hated him for what he had done.

The temperature in the air gradually rose, and the heat of the fire escape almost turned the ruins into a furnace.

The originally bright sky has been obscured by thick dark clouds, as if even nature is trembling because of this fateful showdown.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky, and heavy rain poured down, trying to bring a little coolness to the hot battlefield.

The black flame was like the breath of the devil. Instead of being extinguished by the rain, it danced even more wildly in the rain, trying to tear apart Itachi's Susanoo.

Sasuke flashed and jumped onto a stone tablet covered with traces of time. The Uchiha clan emblem carved on the stone tablet looked even more weathered under the rain.

Rumble—

Thunder rumbled one after another. Itachi could no longer see with his eyes. The side effects of the Mangekyō had caused his eyesight to deteriorate severely, and he had almost completely lost his sight.

But his extraordinary intuition seemed to allow him to see through Sasuke's every move. He felt an ominous premonition in his heart and looked up at Sasuke above.

Spiritualism

A huge falcon broke through the dark clouds and descended on the battlefield with a sharp sound of wind. It was his spiritual beast - Qi Sha.

Qisha was soaring in the thunder and lightning, its sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all the darkness. As Sasuke's summoning beast, it knew what Sasuke was facing now and hovered above Sasuke.

Sasuke quickly formed a seal, and the familiar Chidori took shape in his palm again.

Sasuke raised his hands to the sky and injected the power of Chidori into Nanashi's body. Nanashi immediately turned into a flash of lightning and rushed straight into the sky.

Under the sky covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, Qi Sha let out an eagle's cry, and his body seemed to be on fire.

Its entire body was covered in electric light, and every feather was flashing a dazzling light, as if it had become the incarnation of thunder and lightning.

The thunder and lightning in the already violent dark clouds seemed to be infected by this force and began to become even more violent and restless.

They seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force and gathered towards the location where Qi Sha was.

Some lightning turned into majestic unicorns, while others turned into winding and circling dragons. Various mythical beasts transformed from lightning circled and danced in the air, forming a shocking picture.

"This technique is called Heavenly Punishment. I carefully prepared it for you, Itachi."

Sasuke had a blank expression on his face, it was all about to end.

"Disappear along with the thunder..."

He stared at the huge Susanoo below, and without hesitation, he raised his arm and swung it downwards.

Qi Sha, bathed in lightning, was the first to be hit and charged towards Susanoo with an unstoppable momentum.

And the thunder and lightning beasts surrounding it seemed to have received some kind of instructions, roaring and launching fierce attacks on Susanoo.

The Seven Kills transformed into lightning was so fast that it reached in front of Susanoo in one thousandth of a second, leaving no space or time to avoid it.

At this moment, the entire battlefield was shrouded in the light of thunder and lightning, as if it had become a sea of ​​thunder and lightning.

The divine beast transformed from thunder and lightning collided directly with Itachi's Susanoo. The moment the two collided, it was as if the sky and the earth were breaking apart. The deafening explosion was like the roar of a giant dragon, piercing through the clouds and echoing in the vast sky and earth within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

This powerful shock wave not only caused the ground to tremble, but even Konan and Kisame outside the ruins felt the vibration.

Their faces turned solemn in an instant, and they hurried away from the battlefield that was about to turn into ruins.

"It's really dangerous. I didn't expect the battle between Uchiha to reach this level!"

Kisame stood beside Konan, his face solemn. It was not the first time for him to witness the power of Susanoo, but the battle before him made him feel unprecedented palpitations.

This battle had already shown itself to be a life-and-death dispute, and even though he knew Itachi was a spy, he was still a little worried.

"Uchiha Yelan is not in there..."

Xiaonan muttered to herself, she was equally shocked.

At first she felt that she had overestimated Sasuke's strength, but now she thinks her assessment of Sasuke should be further improved.

"The one in there is Itachi's brother?"

Kisame couldn't help but ask, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

He had just fought with Sasuke two days ago and knew how difficult the young man was to deal with. He also seemed to have the ability to control Amaterasu.

Even someone as strong as Itachi would find it difficult to deal with it easily if he didn't know this information.

Xiaonan nodded silently, her eyes fixed on the huge mushroom cloud produced by the explosion.

In a flash, the already dilapidated ruins had been completely reduced to ruins.

Those ancient buildings were reduced to dust at this moment.

In this ruin, there is a figure that still stands.

Qi Sha, who was originally in his prime, was now lying powerlessly on the ruins. This technique not only needed to borrow the power of thunder and lightning in nature, but also needed a carrier.

Sasuke uses Chidori and natural energy to guide lightning to fall, while Qi Sha leads these thunder beasts to attack directly.

Even a strong beast like the Thunder Falcon has now become incomplete.

At this moment, Itachi had taken off his shirt and was lying flat on the ground. Seeing that he was gasping for breath and spitting out blood, it seemed that he was not dead yet.

Sasuke jumped off the stone tablet. He was exhausted at this moment and fell to the ground due to an unstable jump.

Both the chakra and natural energy have been completely exhausted, and the Sharingan in the pupil has turned black.

He took a few deep breaths, barely able to stand up, and after adjusting himself, he walked towards Qi Sha first.

He came to Qi Sha and stroked its feathers.

Qi Sha responded weakly, indicating that he was fine.

"Thank you for your hard work, take a good rest..."

Sasuke immediately cancelled the summoning, and there was no need to use the Seven Kills next time.

Sasuke turned around and looked at Itachi who was lying on the ground unable to move, and his eyes turned cold again.

"cough cough..."

Itachi's body was on the verge of collapse. In the previous heavenly punishment, all his pupil power was concentrated on the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka Sword, which allowed him to barely survive. The price he paid was that he had become completely blind.

He turned around when he heard the sound of footsteps. At this moment, he did not look defeated at all, but instead had a smile on his face.

"Is it Sasuke? Ahem...it seems like you won...I didn't expect you...to become so strong..."

"Is this your last words?"

Sasuke had already tightly grasped the ninja sword that Ye Lan gave him in his hand, and he could chop off Itachi's head in the next moment.

"Ahem...it seems like you've been almost exhausted...until now...Ye Lan hasn't shown up...Ahem...he really trusts you..."

Itachi's arm, which had been lying flat, suddenly moved.

Sasuke suddenly became alert, knowing that Itachi still had a backup plan at this point.

Ga ga ga~

A familiar crow was circling in the sky. Sasuke looked over and saw that the crow's eyes had turned into a windmill-like kaleidoscope.

Itachi muttered as he lay on the ground.

"I'm sorry Sasuke, this is the last time..."
