Chapter 526: Cautiousness of Obito
They never thought that Konohagakure, the strongest of the five great Shinobi Villages would be so severely destroyed in the relatively peaceful period, which was unprecedented in bloody and cruel wars.
Until now, Shisui is still full of doubts and even wondered whether he is in some sort of Genjutsu… because he simply can’t believe that Konoha is destroyed.
Itachi’s face is gloomier than Shisui, the Village has suffered such a catastrophe… he did not dare to think of the situation of his family, because once imagined, countless terrible scenes would spring up in his mind… Itachi can only hope that his parents and Sasuke (Itachi doesn’t know about Uchiha Kiyomi yet) are safe…
While Shisui and Itachi stood in silence, suddenly an emerald blue light flashed in the ruins of Konoha, immediately afterward, the roar of Susano’o resounded across the night sky.
ROAR!
Looking at the huge emerald blue Susano’o at the center of the Village, Shisui’s eyes condensed, “Another Susano’o… huh?”
Itachi nodded gently, “Well, this Susano’o has never been used before…”
Whether Shisui or Shinichi, both of their Susano’o are greenish in color, one is emerald green while the other is dark green… on the other hand, Itachi’s own Susano’o is flaming red like the red vapors of death… and finally, Tsukihi’s Susano’o is golden in color…
So, both of them quickly judged that emerald blue Susano’o in the village belongs to a third candidate, aside from any of these people.
As far as Itachi and Shisui can think of based on the people who are alive and have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Susano’o in the village is either used by the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku, that is Itachi’s father, or the mysterious traitorous Uchiha of the Akatsuki Organization who has recently stolen Kakashi’s eye.
Of course, there is also the third possibility that another Uchiha might have recently awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan because of experiencing despair brought by the loss of someone precious during the destruction of the Village… but… Itachi and Shisui are still more inclined to the second candidate, that is, the mysterious traitorous Uchiha of the Akatsuki Organization.
The reason for such a judgment is quite simple, and that is the development of Susano’o in front of them… The Susano’o at the center of the Village is the Complete Body Susano’o with wings on its back… This is already the Sixth Stage of Susano’o.
Both Itachi and Shisui have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and fully understands that using the Complete Body Susano’o with just a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan is not possible… the user should either have the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan along with extremely high Chakra Reserves just like Uchiha Tsukihi or… he must have been transplanted with Hashirama Cells similar to Uchiha Shisui… only then will it be possible to use the Complete Body Susano’o or the near Complete Body Susano’o.
Any other way is difficult to meet the requirement.
So understanding that the traitorous Uchiha is one of the few people responsible for the destruction of Konoha, both Shisui and Itachi activated the Mangekyou Sharingan at the same time, and icy killing intent was released from them.
But before either one could act… Boom…! Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded in the forest behind the two, then a dazzling white beam of light shone through the forest, illuminating the entire gloomy night sky.
After turning around to look at the situation, Shisui’s brows twisted in a deep frown, “If I am not wrong, that’s definitely, Dust Release, right?”
Although Shisui did not fight on the Iwagakure front in the Third Great Shinobi War and did not get a chance to personally see the power of the famous, and only known Kekkei Tota, Dust Release.
As a senior member of the Anbu directly under Hokage, Shisui still recognized Dust Release at a single glance… after all, the power and characteristics of Dust Release are too conspicuous to not be able to recognize.
“Dust Release…” – muttered Itachi with a thoughtful expression, then spoke after realization, “Which means the Gokage are fighting there?”
As the members of Amatsukami, Itachi and Shisui are fairly clear about Sandaime’s secret plan against the Akatsuki Organization, so, the moment, they discovered Dust Release, both of them judged that the people fighting on that side are definitely the Gokage.
Columns of dazzling light passed through from time to time then there were series of deadly explosions spreading all over the surroundings, the skyrocketing fire, the terrifying sound of lightning flashing, the howling wind and tumbling smoke and vapor… the scene that Itachi and Shisui witnessed from the bird’s eye view of the crows clearly showed as if hell has come to the world.
Such an astonishing degree of damage is not something that ordinary Shinobi can cause, additionally, Itachi and Shisui have already judged that one side includes that Gokage and their entourage, so the person who can force the Gokage to such a degree will obviously not be any ordinary Shinobi.
In nine of out ten cases, the person facing the Gokage should be Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization… because in Shisui and Itachi’s cognition, in the Akatsuki Organization, perhaps only Nagato with the Rinnegan Dojutsu of the Rikudo Sennin is worthy of being able to force the Gokage to unite together.
Although Itachi and Shisui now have a clear understanding of the situation, they are also in a serious dilemma now… one is the battlefield in the village where the traitorous Uchiha is wreaking havoc, and the other is the battlefield outside the village where the leader of the Akatsuki Organization fighting against the Gokage… In comparison, the battlefield outside is obviously much more dangerous because the battle there is definitely more intense based on the terrifying Chakra fluctuations…
But faced with such a situation, Shisui and Itachi are not sure which battlefield should they give priority to.
After a while of silence, Shisui patter Itachi on the shoulder, and said, “I will support the battlefield on the side of Gokage, and you will be in charge of the village side… and provide support to Fujin, Jiraiya-sama, and Tsunade-sama…”
Since the battlefield on the side of Gokage is much more dangerous, so Shisui, who is the stronger and the older of the two took the initiative to fight on that battlefield, while Itachi was responsible for supporting the Fujin against the traitor Uchiha.
This is not an arbitrary decision, but a well-thought-out one… aside from the Hashirama Cell transplantation, Shisui has also mastered Sennin Mode with the help of the Nekoshou Kuroka, so his strength has once again increased, and he is confident in being able to support the Gokage site… And, Itachi who has gained Spiritual Weapons such as the Sword of Totsuka, and Yata Mirror should be responsible for helping Fujin seal the traitor Uchiha inside the Sword of Totsuka.
Besides, Shisui as the older of the two will definitely not send Itachi to the more dangerous front… is not because Shisui doesn’t trust in Itachi’s abilities, but because Shisui cares about Itachi.
Itachi also knew that Shisui’s judgment was correct, so he nodded lightly, “Okay.”
After reaching the agreement, Shisui also reminded Itachi, “Itachi, be vigilant against that guy Zetsu and his weird means…”
According to the information given to the two by Kuroto, Shisui and Itachi now fully understand the horror of Zetsu and understands that they must remain vigilant against Zetsu, lest Amatsukami’s intelligence will be leaked, and it would bring great problem… therefore, Shisui did not forget to remind Itachi of Zetsu.
Itachi obviously, knew, and nodded, “Yes… I will be vigilant.”
Shisui and Itachi then nodded, and both disappeared from the Outerwall and rushed towards two battlefronts.
…
On the battlefield on Konoha’s side.
Fujin who had just dodged a long-distance Kamui attack from Obito saw the Susano’o in front of him and sighed…
‘Damn it… I didn’t expect that he would transplant extra Sharingan on his body…’
The fact that Obito can still use both short-range and long-range Kamui, as well as, the Complete Body Susano’o, clearly explains that the Sharingan he sacrificed for using Izanagi just now was not either one of his Mangekyou Sharingan, instead, it was a simple three tomoe Sharingan he has transplanted somewhere in his body.
Otherwise, the situation in front of him is simply incomprehensible!
Being able to use the Dojutsu of both the eyes, as well as the Complete Body Susano’o is simply impossible with one eye blind.
But Fujin did not expect that Obito would go so far.
In the previous series of attacks that he carried out on Obito, Fujin expanded the range of his vision to the utmost degree to keep track of all of Obito’s moves, so the penetrative power of the Byakugan decreased, additionally, Obito’s clothes and mask are also inlaid with all kinds of Fuinjutsu that block Byakugan’s penetrative vision, as a result, Fujin did not discover the additional Sharingan in Obito’s body… and did not take into account that Obito would be so cautious.
As a result, the series of plans he had made to kill or take away Obito’s power ended up in a big failure.
‘Tch, is it because of the battle at Kirigakure where he almost died? I did not expect that this guy would become so cautious after tasting just one defeat…’ thought Fujin with a sigh.
But Fujin knows that if he was in Obito’s shoes, perhaps he would have done the same thing…
After all, each individual three-tomoe Sharingan that can be used for using Izanagi, is equivalent to one more life… And Obito, whose half body is made up of Hashirama Cells doesn’t have to be worried about the backlash from transplanting a few extra three-tomoe Sharingan…
After recalculating the situation, Fujin converged his eyes, and muttered, ‘There is no telling how many extra-three tomoe Sharingan has he transplanted, and each of those Sharingan are likely to be Transcripted with Izanagi… which means, other than, sealing, nothing would work on him… But there is no trace of Shisui and Itac–’
Caw Caw
Just as Fujin was thinking of Shisui and Itachi, a sudden cry of a crow reached Fujin’s ears.
Everyone who is busy in the fierce fight against Obito didn’t care much about just the cry of an inconspicuous crow, but Fujin cast his gaze in the direction of the black crow that is indistinguishable in the night sky.
As soon as he looked towards the crow, the crow’s eye turned scarlet with three spiraling curves around the pupil… and the very next moment, a familiar Chakra invaded Fujin’s Chakra system.
Knowing the identity of the crow, and the familiar Chakra Signature, Fujin smirked and did not resist the invasion of the foreign Chakra… and soon, he was dragged into the familiar and unfamiliar Tsukuyomi Plane of Itachi.
