To compete with the third generation of Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, he borrowed the power of the Nine Tails to bully the old man because he was not energetic and relied on his physical advantage to suppress him; Uchiha Itachi's strength is not as strong as the old Sarutobi Hiruzen now, and Susanoo is the same

.

The current Uchiha Itachi is far from reaching his peak. He is a boy who is less than fourteen years old and his body has not yet fully grown. He still has several years of rapid growth.

Regardless of the difference in Sharingan control ability and the blessings of Susanoo, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Hatake Kakashi can beat Uchiha Itachi by a head.

"It's not something I can handle. But it's not like I can't survive."

Forcibly suppressing the damage caused by the backlash to the body, Gusubu Shui peeled off the superficial tailed beast chakra and threw it away, completely shattering the tailed beast into pieces, and transformed into a half-tailed beast state wrapped in red chakra neon clothes, reducing the load.

, making consumption smaller and more flexible.

The Amaterasu black flames on the body surface were also peeled off, and the danger of being burned to ashes was lifted.

Sora, who was in a half-animal state, kicked off his legs suddenly, his sharp claws grasping the rugged ground and pushing back to accelerate, directly hitting Uchiha Itachi.

A red fox monster with an ominous smell of blood was fighting with a nearly three-meter-tall half-skeleton man.

In the open space surrounded by black flames, the battle between one person and one beast was without any skills, and they were just like children fighting.

The fox bit the skeleton man's shoulder with its big mouth, and Uchiha Itachi controlled Susanoo to choke his neck, trying to turn over to suppress the opponent, but was swept away by his long tail, took a few steps back, and hit Konoha.

Above the village defense barrier.

Just when the pseudo-Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was about to continue attacking, a black shadow not far away surrounded him and shot out spears with iron chains. The spear body was covered with fine black patterns, and when it hit the pseudo-Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki,

After exerting force, it exploded directly and turned into chains condensed with smoke, tying up the ferocious red humanoid.

Konoha Village, which inherited the sealing technique from the Uzumaki family, is indeed very capable in dealing with tailed beasts.

He realized that with his own strength, he couldn't control the fake Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki from a distance, even if he had the chakra support of the real Nine-Tails.

Unless you let go of your hands and feet, go on a killing spree, and rush directly into Konoha Village. If the opponent throws a rat weapon, you can do whatever you want.

"It's not a real enemy after all, and it's not meant to cause any harm."

Opening his big mouth, Sora, whose face could no longer be seen, merged the tailed beast chakra according to a certain proportion, and the dark tailed beast jade quickly formed, and was then swallowed.

The pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, whose internal pressure increased greatly, expanded directly and forcibly broke the seal chain. Then he opened his big mouth and sprayed out a bright silver beam. Because the speed was too fast, it also glowed when it rubbed with the air.

A series of fine arcs formed.

Under the watchful eyes of many Konoha ninjas, the Tailed Beast Cannon directly penetrated the defensive barrier of Konoha Village, and a large number of sealing ninjas who provided support fell to the ground, stunned by the backlash shock wave.

The slightly weakened tailed beast cannon bombarded the thick wall of Konoha Village. The earth and stone defense was still of great value. After being blown open a gap several meters wide, it was finally blocked by another temporary combined earth and earth attack.

The escape ninjutsu was blocked.

After looking at the devastation and the situation where Amaterasu's black flames were everywhere, the pseudo-Jinchuuriki dodged and rushed directly into the Konoha Village before anyone else could react.

"Asshole!"

The low roar, accompanied by the din of chirping birds, and the lightning accompanied by the piercing figure, directly hit the back of the pseudo-Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. He struck first and was injured before Sora could escape.

.

The destructive power of Thunder Release and Raikiri directly pierced the Tailed Beast Nishang's defense and almost broke Sora's spine.

Kakashi Hatake, who was pushed to the ground by the backlash, turned over to be on guard. His burned wrists were dripping with blood, both his own and the opponent's.

"Hurry, the other party is injured."

At the corner of the street not far away, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had retreated temporarily, was already commanding the ANBU to form a second line of defense.

Uchiha Itachi, who had suffered a slight loss in the first head-to-head encounter, stretched out his red Susanoo arm and was about to take it down to control the pseudo-Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. He saw the opponent twisting his body strangely and rushing in without warning.

In the surrounding houses, they ran rampant, broke through another wall, and escaped towards the weak point of defense.

"This is impossible."

After recalling the effect of Raikiri just now, Hatake Kakashi thought that even if the opponent could still fight, he would not be able to effectively resist.

The Nine-Tails Chakra does have the ability to quickly heal the host, but it comes at the expense of overdrafting vitality, and it cannot take effect so quickly.

In desperation, Hiruzen Sarutobi once again adjusted his formation to expand the defense range.

Fortunately, until now, not many people have actually died in the battle. As long as they are not directly hit by the shock wave of the battle, there are very few serious injuries. If the destroyed buildings and villagers buried in the ruins are treated in time, the problem is not very serious.

Basically, the mainstream buildings in Konoha Village are made of wood. As long as they are not trapped by fire or are unlucky enough to be injured, normal people will not die from secondary disasters such as house collapse.

"There were a lot of injuries, some seriously, but they can still be saved."

The reports from his subordinates also proved that the observed conclusions were reliable.

There were also some who died, and two of them were burned to death after recklessly testing the power of Amaterasu's black flames.

Such a result is still within the acceptable range, but the pseudo-Jinchuuriki running rampant in Konoha Village will be in trouble.

"Itachi, what did you see just now?"

"It's the Sharingan. I tried to use illusion to control it, but it didn't work. The other party has no intelligence at all. It seems that there is another master."

Uchiha Itachi, who was half-kneeling to report, was not seriously injured, but using Susanoo and Eye Technique Amaterasu were still very difficult for the young genius of the Uchiha family.

"Is it...your father?"

"I don't know, but judging from Tongli's reaction, it doesn't look like it."

"The Uchiha clan has so many geniuses."

Far away was the Uchiha mirror, Uchiha Shisui who had died not long ago, Uchiha Itachi in front of him had just shown his very strong strength, and his father Uchiha Fugaku's pair of Mangekyō Sharingan gave him another blow.

There is also a mysterious person who controls the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Is that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki?

It's a bit similar, but much weaker.

Even so, it's still dangerous.

"Catch him as soon as possible. Also, find the person behind the scenes."

After the order was issued, the pursuing Anbu immediately spread out and deployed their defenses, and some people speeded up the evacuation of nearby residents.

Furugi Fusui and Togakushi Hinode, who were asked to stay away by the patrolling Anbu, retreated indoors. They looked at Kaoru who was still sleeping soundly and couldn't help but sigh.

After entering the study, he took out two masks, one was asura-like as an evil ghost, and the other was as gentle as a stream.

"Is it the Death Mask or the Water God Mask?"

"Can I not use it? They all look dangerous."

Togakushi Hinode finally persuaded,

"It doesn't seem worth it to take risks on irrelevant things."

"No, it does matter."

Gu Shan Bu Shui said categorically,

"And it's not dangerous at all."

To use the Death Mask, you need to pay the price of having your soul devoured. However, if you don't channel the Death, and just use the sealing effect of the Death Mask itself, it will be enough to pay the price of blood and chakra.

The Water God Mask is more practical, but it also has its drawbacks. With such a unique power model, people may notice that the mastermind behind it is Gushan Bushui.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shan Bu Shui put away the death mask on his right hand and put the water god mask on his cheek.

In an instant, the main branches of Umibo, which covered almost half of the shinobi world, gathered together with Gusugi Fusui as the center. If before, they only relied on their own strength to forcibly combine the forces within dozens of kilometers around them, now they use this

All the savings from the past two years.

In Konoha Village, the pseudo-Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, who were still a little sluggish at first, quickly cheered up after receiving strong support and had fun on the streets of Konoha Village. Soon, they arrived at the Uchiha family headquarters.

The ninjas who directly belonged to the "Root" organization were still fighting against the enemy headed by Uchiha Fugaku, when they felt a swift figure flash past, followed by a group of ANBU who couldn't keep up.

The blue-and-white Susanoo wielding a flaming sword looks clumsy, but is actually quite flexible in guarding his chest and killing "uninvited guests" who want to break through the defense line.

In order to ensure a kill with one strike, the pupils of the blade impeller rotated like impatiens in bloom, and the surrounding noise faded away. The pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, who was originally as fast as lightning, was like a silent movie character in slow motion, about to hit the big swinging weapon.

Sword edge.

"It's me, stop."

"Um?"

Susanoo, who instinctively retreated slightly, suddenly slowed down.

"It's actually..., may I ask, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Patriarch, have you felt it too? The clan members behind the scenes are encountering something unexpected, and I am very interested in the murderer."

"Who... is that person?"

"If Uchiha can survive tonight, he can go to the Myojin Pavilion to discuss it. Now..."

"Indeed, it's not the time."

As he spoke, Uchiha Fugaku manipulated Susanoo to punch him, but the pseudo-Jinchuuriki dodged it. He ran along the arm and ran all the way to the shoulder of the giant armored warrior. He bit hard, punched a big hole, and left calmly.

Go and rush towards the depths of the Uchiha station behind.

The patriarch, whose face turned pale, thought for a moment and understood the other party's plan.

"Thank you very much, but... I really can't repay some kindness."
