Chapter 30: "Susanoo Clashes with the Great Buddha?"

---

Video continues:

Just as Itachi was about to strike again—

Sasuke once more used the Curse Mark and blasted Itachi away!

But it was no use—Itachi used a clone to grab Sasuke tightly from behind!

Just as he was about to gouge out Sasuke's right eye—

Sasuke gathered the Curse Mark's power into his right eye and broke free from Tsukuyomi!

He fell to his knees in pain, eyes wide with suffering.

At the same time, Itachi also collapsed, groaning:

"You broke my Tsukuyomi...!"

Sasuke stood up expressionless and said:

"I already told you. No matter how you use those eyes... I will turn illusion into reality with my will!"

Itachi also stood up and replied:

"Then I return that sentence to you, unchanged!"

From the moment Sasuke broke Tsukuyomi, genjutsu no longer had any effect.

Just as Itachi was about to form a seal,

Sasuke interrupted it with a mechanical shuriken!

Itachi tried to dodge with an elegant move,

but chakra threads on the shuriken split mid-air—

one blade embedded into his thigh!

He pulled it out and jumped back.

Kakashi: "Something feels off."

Hashirama: "What is it?"

Kakashi: "Itachi shouldn't be this weak.

Even without the Sharingan, he should still be able to handle Sasuke right now."

Young Sasuke: "Kakashi, what did you say?!"

Adult Sasuke: "Kakashi is right."

Adult Sasuke: "Years later, I realized...

Thinking a three-tomoe Sharingan could beat Mangekyō was laughable!"

Tenten: "Is it really that ridiculous?"

Ino: "Can you give an example?"

Orochimaru: "It's like the First Hokage trying to kill himself with a kunai!"

Tenten: "I get it!"

Ino: "Makes sense!"

Uchiha Madara: "Indeed!

Compared to a three-tomoe winning against Mangekyō,

Hashirama using a kunai to commit suicide is more believable!"

Kakashi: "Seems like Itachi is holding back…"

Itachi: "Enough chatter, Kakashi—just keep watching the video."

Video continues:

Sasuke used Fire Style combined with Chidori to blast through the roof,

forcing Itachi up onto the rooftop.

They jumped into the air—

Itachi quickly formed seals and hit Sasuke with Great Fireball Jutsu!

But Sasuke resisted with his Curse Mark-enhanced defense!

They kept trading Great Fireball Jutsu, back and forth!

As Itachi began to lose ground, he activated Amaterasu with his right eye!

Black flames devoured Sasuke's fire completely!

Just as Amaterasu was about to engulf Sasuke—

Itachi stopped it!

Sasuke kept running, trying to dodge the attack.

Itachi kept manipulating Amaterasu,

until it locked onto Sasuke's Curse Mark!

He hurriedly stopped the jutsu.

As he stepped forward to check on Sasuke—

Sasuke's body vanished!

It turned out Sasuke used Orochimaru's Body Replacement Technique to escape!

Itachi clutched his right eye, coughing on the ground.

Sasuke entered Curse Mark Level 2,

a cross-shaped pattern appeared on his face, and his hair turned blue.

He then fired Dragon Flame Jutsu repeatedly at Itachi!

Sasuke's Curse Mark eventually disappeared.

The sky rumbled with thunder and rain poured down.

Both were out of chakra.

Sasuke sneered:

"You thought I came unprepared to kill you?"

"You thought I was using my fire jutsu on you?"

"My fire combined with your Amaterasu… created this thundercloud!"

Sasuke stood on a platform and shouted:

"This jutsu brings down heavenly lightning—

and I'm just redirecting that power toward you!"

"You can't escape this attack!"

"A lightning strike takes only 0.001 seconds—faster than sound!"

"The name of this jutsu is—"

From the sky, a thunder dragon formed and roared toward Itachi!

[Quick Question!]

Did Uchiha Itachi die from this attack?

Correct Answer: Wins one Amaterasu Trial Card

Wrong Answer: A random jutsu is taken away

Buzzing begins...

Congratulations! Uchiha Madara buzzed first!

Uchiha Madara:

"No, he didn't die. Anyone with Mangekyō Sharingan…

means they can also use Susanoo!"

"That attack is powerful, but Susanoo will absolutely save him!"

Correct! Uchiha Madara wins an Amaterasu Trial Card!

Uchiha Madara: "A bit weak, but better than nothing!"

Mei Terumi: "You're the boss, you make the rules!"

---

As expected—Itachi activated Susanoo!

At that moment, Orochimaru's voice echoed:

"Let me lend you my power, Sasuke-kun! Don't you need me?"

Suddenly, eight white snake heads appeared from Sasuke's body—

Orochimaru's Eight-Headed Serpent Technique!

Itachi quickly sliced off seven heads with his Totsuka Blade!

Orochimaru emerged from the last head,

and spat out the Kusanagi Sword from his mouth!

"This is what I've been waiting for!"

"Thank you, Sasuke. Now, this body is mine!"

Before Orochimaru could ramble more,

Itachi sealed him using the Totsuka Blade!

Sasuke's Curse Mark also disappeared!

Suddenly, a small white snake dropped from above—

spitting blood from its mouth!

Sasuke threw explosive tags at Itachi's Susanoo—

but they had no effect!

Susanoo blocked them all!

Itachi, shaking slightly, approached step by step.

Sasuke kept throwing more explosive tags—

but couldn't stop Susanoo's advance!

Sasuke drew his sword, leapt forward,

stabbed Susanoo—only to be blasted away!

Sasuke retreated to the wall!

Itachi stepped forward, placed two fingers on Sasuke's forehead,

whispered something, and collapsed!

The small white snake, trying to slither away,

was burned alive by Amaterasu!

A: "Forgive me, Sasuke… this is the last time."

B: "I love you, Sasuke."

C: "I leave my eyes to you, Sasuke."

D: "You finally killed me, Sasuke."

Correct Answer: Wins one Susanoo Trial Card

Wrong Answer: A random jutsu will be taken

Note: Uchiha Itachi, Young Sasuke, Adult Sasuke, and Boruto cannot answer!

Buzzing begins!

Boruto: "Why not me? I don't even know the answer!"

Minato: "Because you're from the future—you'd have an unfair advantage."

---

Congratulations! Fourth Raikage buzzed first!

Fourth Raikage: "I choose... D!"

Onoki: "Makes sense. Sasuke's lifelong goal was to kill Itachi."

Uchiha Izuna: "No, it's C!"

Uchiha Family: "Everything Itachi did was so Sasuke could awaken his Mangekyō!"

Orochimaru: "The correct answer is A!"

Result: Fourth Raikage is wrong! Loses a jutsu!

Fourth Raikage: "But I just trained that one!"

Onoki: "Too bad!"

---

Congratulations! Mei Terumi draws a chance!

Mei: "I choose B!"

Wrong! Water-style jutsu removed!

Mei: "Oh well..."

---

Congratulations! Uchiha Shisui buzzed in!

Shisui: "I choose A!"

Correct!

Shisui: "Can I use Susanoo while using the trial card?"

Ding! Yes, you can!

Madara: "Interesting…"

Hashirama: "I want to try Susanoo too!"

Onoki: "Ask Madara to lend it to you!"

Hashirama: "Madaraaaa~"

Madara: "Keep dreaming!"

Madara: "Even if I die, I'll never let you use Susanoo!"

Hashirama: "But you're already dead."

Madara: "Shut up!"
