Chapter 9 Izanami
Chapter 9 Izanami
Qianyao retaliated in kind, and the cawing of crows rang out!
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Senyo, also a member of the Ninja Crow Style, transformed into a sky full of crows in that instant.
Crows formed the upper body of Qianyao in mid-air:
"You have clearly failed Shisui's expectations, why won't you admit your defeat!"
Itachi glanced at Sasuke out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that Yusuke made no other move, he felt relieved.
He didn't answer Qian Yao's question at all. Instead, he blinked, and as blood tears streamed down his face, he activated his pupil technique.
"Amaterasu!"
boom!
The black flames instantly slammed into the crow.
No matter where Qianyao's true form is, it will be burned out.
Unexpectedly, a black Susanoo appeared in mid-air, directly blocking Amaterasu from entering.
"The Mangekyou Sharingan!?" Itachi's eyes were filled with shock.
Unexpectedly, besides his father, Chiyo also possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.
The moment Chiyo landed, Susanoo punched Itachi.
As Itachi was shocked, his orange-red Susanoo also threw a punch.
With such force, the two Susanoo shattered upon violent collision.
Seeing that Itachi remained silent and did not answer his question, Chiyo waved his hand and said, "Don't want to answer? Yusuke! Kill Sasuke."
"Yes, Fourth Elder!" Yusuke threw Sasuke to the ground and then stomped on him.
"Ah!" came a child's pitiful scream.
Itachi was momentarily dazed, as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.
Chiyo had already closed in on Itachi with a sword, the long blade slicing across Itachi's face, and Itachi felt the stinging pain on his cheek once again.
This time, Itachi didn't use Susanoo, but instead turned his body to the side, letting Chiyo's sword glide across his face.
He slapped his hand onto the blade of Qianyao's sword, knocking the weapon away.
He kicked Qianyao from below, but Qianyao blocked with his arm and stumbled backward.
Itachi instantly formed hand seals, unleashing a shuriken while simultaneously spitting out a fireball.
Fire Release: Red Phoenix Claw!
A barrage of flames accompanied by shurikens shot towards the unarmed Qianyao.
Qian Yao's lips curled into a smile as he continued to ask:
"Shisui bought two years with his death. What have you done in those two years?!"
"You did nothing!"
Boom!
A black Susanoo appeared, firmly blocking the red claw of the balsam flower.
There was a hint of panic in Itachi's eyes, but he still didn't say anything.
"Don't you want to answer, Yusuke? Kill Sasuke."
"Yes, Fourth Elder!"
The same scene repeated itself.
Yusuke threw Sasuke to the ground and then stomped on him.
"Ah!" came a child's pitiful scream.
The next moment, Qianyao's longsword pierced Itachi's cheek once again.
This time, Itachi unleashed his Susanoo, blasting Chiyo away!
"How is this possible!..."
How could Itachi, a master of illusion techniques, not know that he was already trapped in an illusion?
"The Third Hokage always told you that he would come up with a foolproof plan, so what did he actually do?"
When Chiyo asked the question again, Itachi's expression had already become unsteady.
"Could this technique be...!?"
Seeing that Itachi hadn't answered his question, Chiyo asked again:
"Don't you want to answer, Yusuke? Kill Sasuke."
"Yes, Fourth Elder!"
The same scene repeated itself.
Yusuke threw Sasuke to the ground and then stomped on him.
"Ah!" came a child's pitiful scream.
The next moment, Qianyao's longsword pierced Itachi's cheek once again.
……
In reality, Qianyao had already put away his knife, and his left eye had turned completely gray.
Izanami can record a scene where the other person and herself take action, and then make that same scene happen again.
An opponent who falls under the illusion will be imprisoned in the time between the first and second scenes in their memory, entering a world of endless reincarnation.
If Itachi wants to break free from Izanami's genjutsu, he must accept his original fate and sincerely repent; otherwise, he will never wake up.
The current Itachi is standing motionless with his eyes closed, like a wooden doll.
Unless Itachi faces his defeat squarely and stops deceiving himself.
Know what you can do and what you can't.
Only then can Itachi break free from this cycle.
There are many conditions for using the forbidden technique Izanami, and it requires pulling Itachi with the Mangekyou Sharingan into the loop.
An equivalent number of Mangekyou Sharingan must be sacrificed.
Fortunately, the Grand Elder granted permission to use this forbidden technique; otherwise, Qianyao wouldn't have had time to learn it.
Chiyo waved to Yusuke and Kouyu, and Yusuke's men gathered around Chiyo.
Holding the unconscious Sasuke in his hands, Yusuke looked at Chiyo with admiration and asked, "Elder, what's our next step?"
Itachi was defeated so easily, which naturally increased Yusuke's trust in Chiyo once again.
Chiyo sat on the ground, letting Kyou replace Obito's Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, which he had obtained from Kakashi.
He answered with his mouth:
"I still need to deal with Itachi a bit, but I should be able to successfully turn him to the side. The Grand Elder is still with Fugaku; go check on the situation there."
"If Fugaku and the Grand Elder clash, report the situation here truthfully and ask them to stop fighting."
"Sasuke brought it to the Grand Elder, who knows how to use it."
"Organize all your clansmen and be ready to fight Danzo and his root followers at any time."
"After handing Sasuke over to the Elder, keep an eye on the direction of Konoha Village. If the Third Hokage comes with the Anbu, immediately fire a blue signal flare."
"Yes, Elder!"
Yusuke carried Sasuke and headed towards Fugaku's residence.
Guangyou also replaced Qianyao's own eyes with his.
Qianyao closed his eyes, and after resting for several tens of minutes, his eyes would be able to function again.
Eye transplant is the simplest surgery in the world.
On the battlefield, 13-year-old Rin Nohara was able to exchange eyes with Obito and Kakashi.
Although Kōyū's medical ninjutsu isn't particularly impressive, it's still far superior to that little girl, Rin Nohara.
After knocking Kakashi down, Chiyo took back the Uchiha clan's eyes.
It was just used directly as a sacrifice for Izanami.
Actually, Kakashi's eye was acquired back when Obito awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
He had already activated the Mangekyou Sharingan simultaneously.
It's just that neither he nor Kakashi knew it.
Now that eye is ruined, Obito will never be able to collect both Kamui in his lifetime.
Kōyū removed the Kamui Eye and put it in a bottle.
"Elder, what should we do about this eye?"
Qianyao picked up the bottle and shook it: "Keep it for now, it might be useful later."
Guangyou nodded, took out the sealing scroll, and carefully sealed it inside.
Then the scroll was handed to Qianyao.
After Qianyao put away the scroll, he placed his hand on the head of the standing weasel.
He was pressed for time and needed to quickly guide Itachi to recognize his own limitations.
After all, a battle did take place on their side, although it didn't last long, but the tribe had patrol teams.
Fugaku will receive the news soon, and it's quite normal for the Grand Elder to break off relations with him.
The Uchiha clan has very few chips left, and they cannot afford to make any mistakes.
