****************
"Sasuke, long time no see."
Sitting in the main seat with a domineering attitude, Itachi looked down at Sasuke.
Observing his younger brother who increasingly resembled him the more time passed, a smile appeared at the corner of Itachi's mouth, but it quickly turned into a thin expressionless line.
"I was surprised when I heard about your challenge."
"Do you feel like you've surpassed me just by defeating Orochimaru?"
"You know, I defeated Orochimaru instantly with my genjutsu back then! What confidence can beating someone that weak inspire?"
Sasuke listened to Itachi's mockery without responding.
Raising his hand, a sharp [Chidori] spear shot out, piercing Itachi's chest with extreme speed!
Itachi's reaction was equally calm, his eyes still fixed on Sasuke as his body slowly dispersed into a flock of crows.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Sasuke.
"Hey, hurry up, hurry up! We're a bit late, but it's okay. Let's watch."
Itachi halted the hand he was about to grab Sasuke with and turned to look at the door along with his brother.
There stood Kisame, carrying Samehada and wearing a regretful expression.
"Didn't I ask you to stop the others?" Itachi frowned.
He didn't want the fight to be disturbed.
Kisame flashed a terrifying smile.
"All the people Sasuke Uchiha brought have been dealt with and lost their ability to move. So, I thought I'd come in and have a look since I had nothing else to do."
"Don't worry, I won't interfere. It'll be like I'm not even here."
Sasuke hadn't expected Suigetsu and the others to be defeated so quickly, and his heart grew heavy.
Kisame might say he wouldn't intervene now, but if Sasuke tried to kill Itachi, who could guarantee he wouldn't step in?
And Itachi was being a bit too casual.
It was difficult enough to act in the first place, and now there was an audience who knew him very well, making it even more challenging.
Why did dying have to be so complicated?
For a moment, both brothers' emotions were a bit conflicted.
"Don't just stand there, keep fighting!" Kisame urged anxiously, seeing that neither of them had moved.
'You talk too much!'
Sasuke and Itachi cursed inwardly at the same time.
Itachi, in particular, would have suspected this wasn't the real Kisame if he hadn't noticed something off about the guy quite earlier.
The two brothers began a physical fight.
They exchanged punches and kicks, making for a lively battle.
Perhaps it was impressive to outsiders, but there was still a gap for Sasuke when facing Itachi.
Because of that, Sasuke took the lead in forming hand seals.
"[Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique]!"
A fiery blaze appeared in the room.
Itachi leaped to avoid the fireball, but Sasuke then threw shurikens infused with lightning chakra.
Boom!
Itachi, who seemed to be covered in shuriken, turned into smoke and disappeared.
"So fast! When did you use a Shadow Clone?"
Sasuke was taken aback.
At this point, Itachi had reappeared in front of him and kicked him in the stomach.
Boom!
A large hole appeared in the hall's wall.
It was then that Colt realized the curse mark on Sasuke was gone.
"Strange, why has Itachi-san slowed down so much?" Kisame said in confusion.
Colt smirked.
What else could have happened? Itachi had clearly started to let go.
As the battle escalated, the room was obviously no longer enough for the two of them.
It didn't take long before Sasuke's [Chidori] punched a large hole in the roof.
Itachi took advantage of the situation and ran out, returning Sasuke's attack with a fireball.
"[Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu]!"
A fire dragon spewed from Sasuke's mouth, immediately overpowering Itachi's Fire Style.
The battlefield shifted outdoors.
Kisame and Colt also followed, standing on a large tree, watching from a distance.
The two once again launched Fire Style techniques against each other, using the iconic Great Fireball of the Uchiha clan.
"This hand seal speed..." Kisame couldn't help but complain.
Was it because Sasuke couldn't see it if he went faster?
What about the dignity of their clan though?
Colt chuckled.
The battle was nearly over.
Kisame was speechless at such a battle.
"[Amaterasu]!"
Itachi grunted violently, blood streaming from his eyes.
A large mass of black flames appeared on the ground, surrounding Sasuke.
Perhaps because he was afraid of hurting his younger brother, he deliberately left a small area for movement.
It could be said to be very kind.
"It's useless. I've already mastered the weakness of your technique. As long as it burns the target, the flames will be extinguished."
After speaking, Sasuke took out a scroll, summoning a large number of sealed beasts to extinguish the black flames with their flesh.
Obviously, he had also made adequate preparations for today's battle.
Itachi was also becoming a little out of breath because of the large-scale [Amaterasu].
But his smile became wilder, crazier, and his facial expressions distorted.
"That's right, killing you like this can measure my worth!"
"Stop pretending! Your worth disappeared long ago when you slaughtered the entire clan!"
Sasuke interrupted Itachi's performance with a roar, and Kusanagi, crackling with electricity, stabbed into Itachi's chest.
Itachi once again used the Crow Clone Technique in advance to avoid the attack.
"[Tsukuyomi]!"
The next second, [Tsukuyomi]'s illusion struck Sasuke, and the consciousness of both entered the illusory space.
"These genjutsu users are the most annoying. It's really underhanded. Can't they fight honestly with ninjutsu and taijutsu?"
Although Kisame admired Itachi, he didn't like this fighting style.
He wondered if Itachi sometimes used illusions to fool him during missions.
Otherwise, why was he always the one who contributed the most, while not even a speck of dust touched Itachi's clothes?
Colt's mouth twitched.
"I often use illusions to fight. Do you have any problem with that?"
"No, no." Kisame laughed dryly, it was only then that he remembered that his boss was also present.
And also, a crafty one at that.
After a while, Sasuke didn't respond, but Itachi knelt down on one knee, dressed in tattered clothes.
"You... you actually broke my [Tsukuyomi]!"
Sasuke stuck his sword into the ground, and his hands began forming seals.
"Originally, I was prepared for [Tsukuyomi] and had countless strategies ready for whatever you do, but you chose to torture my mind with what happened that night."
Lightning appeared, but Sasuke didn't immediately use his ninjutsu.
Instead, he made a few big jumps to the highest point of the building, looking down condescendingly.
"Itachi Uchiha, I feel sorry for you. Replaying the death of your father and mother over and over again, are you really indifferent?"
Itachi's heart ached violently.
Was he really indifferent?
The [Tsukuyomi] just now wasn't only torturing Sasuke but also torturing himself!
However, faced with the village and his family, he had no choice.
The lightning in the sky finally finished gathering, and Sasuke raised his right hand high.

****************
The rain fell down Sasuke's face, and the gloomy sky made it hard to see his expression.
"Uchiha Itachi, let me wash away your sins and mistakes with lightning!"
"[Lightning Style: Kirin]!"
A lightning beast protruded from the clouds, roaring and crashing down following Sasuke's hands!
The dark space became extremely dazzling, whether it was Obito and White Zetsu who were hiding in the dark, or Kisame/Colt who was watching the battle openly and silently, it impressed them all.
"Kamiyo Colt's technique? Really scary."
The Three Tomoe Sharingan exposed by Obito watched the thunder for a long time, and he had no other way to deal with it except his Kamui.
But he affirmed:
"This technique also has limitations. Sasuke used the [Fire Style] on a large scale just to create the perfect weather and summon his force of nature."
"Ah, so Sasuke is going to win?"
White Zetsu narrowed his eyes and looked at the thunder pillars that pierced through the sky.
He was also shocked by this terrifying sight.
"Win?" Obito laughed, shaking his head in denial, "The Mangekyō's power is much more than that."
Sure enough, the red skeleton appeared and tanked the attack.
"What!"
Itachi let out a painful sound; this attack was not playing around.
The Susanoo's destruction transmitted pain to the user.
Even a perfectly healthy Uchiha will feel as if a thousand needles were stabbing them when this happens.
Not to mention Itachi who was sick.
Gritting his teeth and increasing his chakra, his Susanoo entered the third state, and the huge armor was soon covered with flesh and blood.
The Susanoo raised the mirror in his hand, keeping the lightning behemoth at bay, and finally, it roared helplessly and disappeared into the air.
"Is this the Yata Mirror?"
Colt had long heard that Itachi possessed two great artifacts, the Yata Mirror and the Sword of Totsuka.
In his previous life, he was hyped about this.
Colt fantasized of owning them before.
Today he finally got to see the real deal.
But he couldn't get them.
The Sharingan was powerful, and at the Mangekyō stage, everyone's techniques were different.
The standard Susanoo would also be affected, and in addition, it also would have different weapons.
For example, Sasuke's bow and arrow, and Madara's sword, were all special equipment in this case.
As for Colt's Susanoo, he also had a bow with arrows, and as for the sword, it was actually his sword Kaminari.
As for Itachi's two 'artifacts', one was good at defense and the other was good at sealing.
That was indeed not bad at all.
On the battlefield, Sasuke saw his attack being blocked, and his face was gloomy for a moment, but he returned to normal immediately.
"Susanoo? When I kill you, I can have this power"
Uchiha Itachi, who was inside the Susanoo, covered his eye feeling some pain, and laughed horribly.
"Sasuke, I'll kill you, and my eyes will regain their light, they might even become stronger."
Sasuke snorted.
He then turned around and ran away.
"F**k!"
"What the hell?"
Several people on the periphery of the battlefield exclaimed at the same time, and they were disturbed by Sasuke's actions.
"Uchiha Itachi, I know how terrifying the Susanoo's burden on the human body is. You and I will fight again in three days!"
Sasuke quickly moved away from Itachi with a few jumps, not forgetting to explain what he was going to do.
Now he already knows the truth of everything and also knows the physical condition of Itachi.
Since he didn't choose to forgive his brother, he wouldn't let Itachi get his wish and successfully complete his plan.
The current plan was to hide for two days, and then come back and fight again.
Itachi when he heard this couldn't help but feel an emotional pain.
When did his younger brother become so shameless?
After activating the Susanoo, his injury aggravated again…
Now, his body was like a doll that kept leaking air, and his vitality continued to flow away.
Not to mention waiting for three days, it was probable he would die in at most one day.
How will I give the eyes to Sasuke then?
"Stay here and die!"
With a loud shout, Itachi's Susanoo used an energy long sword in his hand and stabbed straight out.
The speed was so fast that Sasuke had no time to respond, and his body was attacked instantly.
The expected blood didn't flow out, but Sasuke's chakra couldn't be used anymore.
He could only watch Uchiha Itachi approaching step by step.
Dragging his tired body, he walked tens of meters with great difficulty.
Itachi despite being healed a few times, was still ultimately sick, and at this moment, he was exhausted from the fight.
"Damn it! Move!"
Sasuke, whose whole body was caught, struggled frantically, trying to break the seal of the Sword of Totsuka...
Countless kunais and shurikens flew around, but none of them could break the defense of the Susanoo.
Finally, Itachi came to Sasuke's side.
His hands slowly reached for his eyes.
"Pfft!"
"!"
Itachi spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the arm stuck in his heart in disbelief.
Sasuke, who was sealed by the Sword of Totsuka, slowly withered and turned into dead human skin.
It was Orochimaru's substitution technique.
The real Sasuke had turned into gravel and hid beside him.
"Damn, even I didn't notice!"
Colt was amazed, he didn't even notice this detail just now.
It's a testament to Sasuke's resolve.
However, Itachi didn't want to seal him or kill him, so he walked over to die.
Under normal circumstances, the Sword of Totsuka can completely seal people in the gourd.
"Finally!"
Itachi looked at Sasuke who was excited and immediately smiled.
"Forgive..."
"No! I won't forgive you!"
Walking closer to his brother, Sasuke interrupted Itachi's next words.
His voice was soft, and Itachi's pupils gradually widened.
"Colt told me everything there is to know long ago, and I must say, your actions today are as ridiculous as a clown. Your reasons don't matter to me…"
Itachi was breathing weakly; he had lost the ability to speak.
His heart was crushed when he thought that Sasuke knew everything.
Sasuke looked directly into Itachi's eyes, his Three Tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly, eventually forming the pattern of the Mangekyō.
"Before the age of six, you were my brother and my favorite family."
"But when you chose to kill our father and mother, you were no longer worthy of being their son, and no longer worthy of being my brother."
Speaking of this, two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes, and he slowly pushed away Itachi who was leaning on him.
"With such a pain that can never be forgiven, sink into eternal damnation!"
The last ray of light in Itachi's eyes dissipated.
Blood leaked from his eyes.
"Sorry..."
