Capítulo 388: Chapter 388: Uchiha Itachi's Death! The Final Desperation!
"Sharingan... Hmph, quite interesting." Sasori on the Moby Dick watched the battle ahead. In his mind, the Sharingan might be useful as puppet material.
Especially after seeing Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi both using Susano'o, he had some peculiar thoughts.
However, he also knew.
If he tried to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan through some shady means...
He would probably be punched to death by Whitebeard in the next second.
After all, no matter how powerful the Mangekyou Sharingan is, it can't compare to Whitebeard.
And the Mangekyou Sharingan was basically controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates.
All the Uchihas on the ship were either Whitebeard's sons or had been claimed by Whitebeard.
"Tsk... If only I could get Uchiha Itachi's eyes and study them. The Sharingan is just too perfect for my art..."
Sasori's lips curled into a smile. His puppet body had undergone several upgrades and modifications, making it even more lifelike.
Next to him, Orochimaru heard Sasori's muttering.
Orochimaru wasn't interested in Sasori's so-called "art."
He even thought that Sasori's scientific talent was wasted on puppet techniques.
If Sasori joined him in researching immortality, he would definitely be his best assistant.
Then, Orochimaru turned his gaze to Zetsu, who was being brutally beaten.
"His body is so similar to that 'Tobi' in the lab!"
It was unclear how his golden vertical pupils could see such a distant scene, but Orochimaru licked his lips with interest: "But there's a difference. His body is black and white."
"And the 'Tobi' in the lab, who became my test subject, is a strange pure white creature. There must be some connection between them, right?"
Orochimaru had spent some time in the Akatsuki organization, and if he remembered correctly...
Whether it was the Zetsu in front of him or Tobi in the lab, both had a deep connection with Uchiha Obito.
A single "Tobi" was already so special that he could use Tobi's cells to create unique white humanoid clones.
So, what new discoveries could be made by adding a seemingly more special "Zetsu"?
Could it lead to the secret of immortality?
Orochimaru suddenly developed a strong interest in Zetsu, his pale face showing a hint of excitement, and his eyes filled with greed and desire.
He even had an urge to intervene.
"You disgusting guy... why do you always have such a strange expression?" Sasori glanced at Orochimaru with some disdain.
"Hehe, you're still young and don't understand the cruelty of time." Orochimaru smiled. "When you reach my age, you'll understand what you care about more."
Sasori sneered, "Tch!"
He knew what Orochimaru cared about—extending his life!
After all, Orochimaru's ambitions and goals were almost an open secret.
"Boring!" Sasori gave his evaluation.
In Sasori's eyes, for a life to achieve eternity, it must be endowed with supreme art.
Because only timeless art can achieve eternity!
It seemed that if these two were left together without Whitebeard's clear instructions, they would have no common topics to discuss.
As for why Sasori remained in the Whitebeard Pirates?
Perhaps... it was because he had witnessed the Moby Dick's power to travel through time and space, believing he could use this power to elevate his "art" to a higher level.
...
Countless White Zetsu clones, numbering in the hundreds or thousands, swarmed towards Katakuri as if they were unafraid of death.
These were obviously clones created by Zetsu.
After all, the current Zetsu was a fusion of White Zetsu and Black Zetsu, capable of easily using the powers of both.
"Don't embarrass yourself with such petty tricks,. It's not as good as the plant-controlling ability from earlier." Katakuri said expressionlessly, his eyes cold.
His arms suddenly extended like rubber, and when they reached a certain length, they split into multiple arms from the ends.
"Mochi Mochi no Hundred Arms Barrage!"
As Katakuri swung his fists forward, one White Zetsu clone after another was shattered before they could get close to him!
In just an instant, hundreds of White Zetsu clones were reduced to fragments!
This kind of swarm tactic was useless against a strong opponent like Katakuri.
Even if that guy could create endless clones, Katakuri didn't care.
Because even without going all out, he could keep this up for half a month!
"Fire Fist!!!"
Ace's classic Fire Fist instantly burned hundreds of White Zetsu clones to ashes.
Then his gaze immediately locked onto the most unique body.
"Ha! Don't think you can hide among these clones and I won't find you! You, who look like a pitcher plant, are way too conspicuous!"
Ace charged forward fearlessly.
After all, his body was also an Edo Tensei body, so he wasn't afraid of exhaustion or injury.
Moreover, he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, so he was even less afraid.
Watching a figure wrapped in flames rapidly approaching, Zetsu could only grit his teeth and quickly clap his hands together, causing large trees to rise from the ground, forming thick shields in front of him.
But he soon realized that his level of Wood Release Ninjutsu couldn't stop that fiery guy at all!
For a moment, Zetsu wished he were Senju Hashirama, who could easily swat that flaming idiot away with a single slap.
"Got you." A cold voice rang out at the same time, sending chills down Zetsu's spine.
Before he could turn around, a fist wrapped in Armament Haki smashed heavily into the back of his head.
Coincidentally, Ace also reached him, lifting his leg and stomping on Zetsu's forehead.
Two extraordinary forces erupted simultaneously, pinning Zetsu's body to the ground.
The explosive power ravaged the earth, shattering it instantly.
The surrounding White Zetsu clones were all blown away by the shockwave.
Under the combined attack,
Zetsu was beaten the whole time.
He had no power to fight back!
He couldn't even run away!
He didn't know what was happening, but every time he tried to escape, that ridiculously tall guy would see through him and use some strange ability to alter the environment, blocking his escape route.
And the fiery guy was even worse. Zetsu discovered that the opponent had a special Edo Tensei body, which was already hard to destroy... and that guy's body could transform into flames like the Hydrification Technique.
Moreover, that guy's Fire Release was terrifyingly powerful, comparable to Uchiha Madara who once dominated the ninja world!
Either of these two troublesome guys would be a powerful "Kage" in the ninja world.
But how did such people all join the Whitebeard Pirates?
How could there be so many rare talents in the Whitebeard Pirates?
What kind of joke is this....
On the other side.
Uchiha Itachi was already feeling exhausted. He was never a Taijutsu ninja with abundant stamina, nor was he a Jinchuriki with a tailed beast to replenish his chakra.
And his opponent was his former best friend, his former "teacher/brother/confidant."
The former Uchiha Itachi couldn't defeat Shisui, and he still couldn't now.
As Shisui's Susano'o, wielding a giant drill-shaped weapon, crashed heavily into Uchiha Itachi's Susano'o's chest, Itachi's Susano'o was forced to retreat repeatedly.
A conspicuous crack appeared on the chest of the crimson Susano'o.
A large gap was also created by the impact.
The gap was about five or six meters in diameter.
Suddenly, Uchiha Itachi clutched his chest.
It wasn't that the damage to Susano'o was being transmitted to his body.
It was his unknown illness, triggered by the intense battle with Shisui.
He quickly reached into his ninja tool pouch, pulled out a bottle of medicine, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His breath became much weaker.
The sudden change made it impossible for him to maintain the energy-consuming Susano'o.
Under Shisui's relentless attack, Uchiha Itachi's Susano'o shattered like an illusion!
His body began to fall rapidly.
During the fall, he gritted his teeth and swallowed a pill, stabilizing himself in mid-air before landing on the scarred ground below.
But before he could steady himself, a sense of impending death instantly overwhelmed him!
Looking up, he saw a huge green drill spinning rapidly, creating gusts of wind as it headed straight for him!
The sense of danger was almost suffocating!
Uchiha Itachi dodged with all his might.
He watched as the massive drill narrowly missed him, causing devastating damage to the ground.
Each piece of debris that flew out weighed tens of thousands of pounds.
Uchiha Itachi was forced to dodge the flying debris.
Barely landing again, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sharp pain in his left shoulder!
The intense pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
He could no longer maintain his stoic expression.
Gritting his teeth, he turned his head to look at his left arm.
It was completely gone!
"Just now..." He immediately realized that even though Shisui's attack hadn't hit him, the wind carried by the massive drill had shredded his arm like a blade!
"Shisui..." Looking up at his friend standing above Susano'o, Uchiha Itachi used his intact right hand to tear off the Akatsuki uniform that was getting in his way.
Uchiha Itachi murmured, "It seems you've really made up your mind."
"Cough, cough..."
He couldn't help but cough twice, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Is my life a failure?"
In a daze, Uchiha Itachi had a thought of not wanting to resist anymore, a thought of losing his will to fight.
Perhaps...
Everything he did for the Uchiha clan could never be forgiven by Shisui, Sasuke, and Izumi.
And...
If he remembered correctly, when he attacked his clan, many of them were missing.
Those clan members were eventually sheltered by the Whitebeard Pirates.
In other words...
A sudden realization struck Uchiha Itachi.
He was stunned.
Because he suddenly realized that it wasn't him who saved Konohagakure, nor was it him who saved the Uchiha. The peace of Konohagakure wasn't achieved by his massacre.
The peace of Konohagakure...
It seemed that the Whitebeard Pirates had used their overwhelming power to suppress everyone in Konohagakure, including Danzo, making them afraid to act against the remaining Uchiha.
It was the Whitebeard Pirates who, with their overwhelming power, protected the remaining Uchiha, allowing them to survive.
Everything he did seemed to be in vain.
- He negotiated with Danzo to destroy the Uchiha but spared Sasuke.
- The Whitebeard Pirates forcibly protected all the remaining Uchiha.
Comparing the two, Uchiha Itachi felt utterly useless.
——The Whitebeard Pirates attacked Konohagakure to deal with Shimura Danzo, leaving the Konohagakure higher-ups speechless.
——Uchiha Itachi is still undercover in the Akatsuki organization, working for the higher-ups to ensure Sasuke isn't troubled.
In comparison, the difference is clear once again.
Shisui's previously cold and cutting words echoed in his mind.
Uchiha Itachi's tense muscles suddenly relaxed completely.
He couldn't figure it out and fell into a state of confusion.
After all, if someone like him could figure it out in an instant,
then he wouldn't be Uchiha Itachi.
But this moment of confusion, combined with the disparity in strength and the almost certain death situation,
was enough to make him lose his will to fight.
Boom!!!
"Maybe, the Uchiha clan members I killed could also feel this physical pain before they died?"
Uchiha Itachi's last thought as he gave up resisting.
Because Shisui's Susano'o had already smashed the weapon in his hand onto Uchiha Itachi.
This strike shook the earth and mountains!
"Itachi... have you understand..." Shisui didn't look down; he looked up at the sky, feeling Uchiha Itachi's final resistance fade away.
"I hope you've understand... If not, then think more in the afterlife..."
"Seriously, if I hadn't trusted you so much back then, if I hadn't misjudged you, would the clan's destruction and today's events have happened?"
Shisui rubbed the corner of his eye: "Seriously, how can sand get in to my eyes even after activating Susano'o?"
