Orochimaru appeared from Yamata no Orochi's mouth; as soon as he appeared, he spat out a kusanagi sword. Holding the sword in his hand, he looked excitedly at Itachi not far away and said, "This is it! I've been waiting for this moment!"
"Thanks to you, the Chakra Sasuke used to suppress me has also vanished."
"I will take this opportunity to seize that child's body! And then..."
Before Orochimaru could finish his sentence, Itachi, as if unable to listen any longer, controlled the Susanoo to pierce its Chakra sword into Orochimaru's body.
But even though Orochimaru was hit, he himself smiled very calmly and then sneered, "Hehehe!! Do you think you can defeat me with just this much?"
Just as Orochimaru finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed something bad.
Itachi said in a calm tone, "So Sasuke, what will you do next?"
Itachi's calm tone made it seem as if he didn't care about Orochimaru at all.
Orochimaru's voice was somewhat shocked as he said, "This sword... could it be the Sword of Totsuka?!"
At this moment, Orochimaru's body began to 'melt'... no, strictly speaking, it wasn't melting, but being absorbed.
Orochimaru looked at Itachi in shock and said, "Itachi, so you've been hiding this all along."
At this point, Orochimaru could no longer speak, as his body had completely turned into a pool of liquid.
"What's the deal with that sword?" White Zetsu was utterly shocked; Orochimaru had been subdued by Itachi as soon as he appeared.
Black Zetsu said calmly, "The Sword of Totsuka, also known as the Sakegari Longsword, a sealing sword. Legend says those pierced by it are 'permanently' sealed in a genjutsu world of drunken dreams."
"The sword itself is a strike from the kusanagi sword that carries a sealing technique. Orochimaru had been searching for it all this time."
While Black Zetsu was speaking, the Yamata no Orochi, along with Orochimaru, was absorbed and sealed.
White Zetsu marveled, "Itachi really is super powerful."
Outside the video.
The expressions of the people watching this scene were quite a sight.
Needless to say, over at the Akatsuki Organization, everyone was somewhat shocked. Itachi's hidden strength was so formidable; he even had this move up his sleeve?!!
In other words, if an ordinary person were hit by this strike, they would have no choice but to be sealed?!
On Orochimaru's side, after seeing his own miserable state, his expression could be described as particularly unsightly.
He now knew the whereabouts of the Sword of Totsuka, but he didn't dare go and take it, because its owner was too strong.
In Konoha Village, Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and others each had different expressions upon seeing Orochimaru's end.
Jiraiya let out a sigh, looking somewhat helpless, as if saying, 'Orochimaru, you underestimated your opponent too much.'
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was very complex; for a moment, he didn't know what to say and could only smoke his pipe. Clearly, the death of his disciple was quite difficult for him to bear.
Danzo Shimura quietly revealed a slight smile. As expected of Itachi, his strength was indeed great, and he even helped Konoha eliminate a scourge.
Although Danzo Shimura hated the Uchiha Clan, he still felt a bit of admiration for Itachi.
After all, being able to slaughter an entire clan for the sake of the Village was something only Itachi could do.
The video continued to play.
When the Yamata no Orochi and Orochimaru were absorbed, Itachi looked at Sasuke and said calmly, "It's over, Sasuke."
There was a small detail: a small white snake broke free, landed on the ground, and fled into the distance.
"Bang—!!!"
White smoke rose, and all the heads of the Yamata no Orochi on the ground vanished.
*Cough cough cough!!!*
At this moment, Itachi seemed unable to hold on any longer and began to cough violently.
Black Zetsu answered calmly, "That Ninjutsu called Susanoo seems to place a considerable burden on him."
"However, Sasuke can't even use his Sharingan anymore." White Zetsu observed Sasuke's current situation and continued, "Even Orochimaru has been stripped away. This is already Itachi's victory, isn't it?"
"In that case, your eyes are mine."
Itachi looked at Sasuke not far away and smiled faintly. "Let me take them slowly."
*Vroom!!!*
At that very instant, Itachi showed an expression of intense Pain. He clutched his chest and then covered his mouth with his hand.
A large mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, and Itachi fell to his knees on the ground.
"What happened?!"
"Something looks strange."
Black and White Zetsu were quite surprised by this scene.
Sasuke was also very surprised by this scene, but what surprised him more was that the myth-like Susanoo had now reverted to its skeletal frame form.
Sasuke wasn't going to miss this opportunity. He took out explosive tags and Kunai and threw them at the Susanoo.
However, a shield blocked Itachi's front.
Sasuke's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this.
At this time, Itachi began to walk slowly. He moved toward Sasuke step by step; he was already at his limit.
Sasuke was also slowly backing away, his pupils trembling, clearly terrified.
"Damn it—!!!!" Sasuke threw out a large handful of explosive tags.
Unfortunately, it was useless. Against Susanoo's defensive power, explosive tags were completely ineffective.
"That Ninjutsu called Susanoo... that shield can repel all attacks." White Zetsu was shocked; it was the first time he had seen explosive tags being completely ineffective.
"That's right, that is also one of the Spirit Weapons." Black Zetsu, being well-informed, said, "The thing that can repel everything is called the Yata Mirror. Combined with the Sword of Totsuka for attack, it's practically invincible."
"My eyes... my..."
Itachi's body was extremely weak, but he still reached out his hand, wanting to take Sasuke's eyes.
As if by obtaining Sasuke's eyes, he could recover once more.
In extreme terror, Sasuke let out a roar, drew his kusanagi sword, and slashed at the Susanoo.
*Hum—!! Thud—!!!*
When the kusanagi sword struck the Yata Mirror, a powerful force sent it flying, and Sasuke landed on the ground not far away.
Sasuke stood up in Pain. By the time he stood up, Itachi was already in front of him.
At this moment, Sasuke retreated rapidly, terrified like a child. He couldn't retreat for long, and soon his back was against a stone wall marked with the Uchiha Clan crest, and he watched helplessly as Itachi approached him.
Sasuke's pupils were trembling, and his legs were shaking as well; he was very afraid.
Outside the screen, Sasuke's breathing also became rapid. Both 'Sasukes' felt the fear of once being dominated by Itachi.
Itachi slowly raised his hand, his mouth moved slightly, and finally, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
Itachi's blood-stained hand slowly reached toward Sasuke's eyes. At this moment, Sasuke couldn't even make a move to resist; he had been crushed by fear.
*Thud!*
At this moment, a scene that surprised everyone appeared.
Itachi's two fingers were placed on Sasuke's forehead. His eyes were lifeless, and finally, he collapsed to the ground.
Blood slid from Sasuke's forehead all the way down to his chin.
*Roar—!!!*
The Susanoo let out a roar and then vanished at extreme speed.
Itachi's head hit the wall, and he fell heavily to the ground.
