Facing Gensou's casual and seemingly effortless gesture, Itachi did not respond verbally. Instead, he locked eyes with Gensou and immediately tested the waters with genjutsu.

"Magen: Kasegui no Jutsu" (Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique)

Within the newly formed genjutsu space, Itachi was about to drive large stakes into Gensou's body.

Gensou, however, looked at him calmly.

Crack!

The sound of shattering glass echoed once again.

In less than a breath, the two returned to reality.

Having been on par with Madara during the Warring States period, Gensou was well-versed in countering genjutsu. Now, with his real body present and his power at its peak, breaking free from genjutsu like Kasegui no Jutsu, or even Tsukuyomi itself, was a simple task.

This was why Gensou had no fear in meeting Itachi's gaze directly, despite knowing the dangers of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Itachi, after the brief encounter, quickly understood this as well.

He refrained from using Tsukuyomi again. Considering that Gensou had already dealt with an Uchiha before, and as his superior, likely possessed similar techniques, Itachi knew that every use of the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities strained his vision and body.

Facing someone like Gensou required using every bit of his strength wisely.

With a swift flick of his hands, Itachi launched eight shuriken toward Gensou, targeting his vital points.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound echoed as the shuriken clashed with something as hard as steel, failing even to scratch Gensou's skin. He didn't even bother to look at the small weapons.

"Let's not waste time with pointless tests."

He raised his eyelids slightly and said in a calm tone,

"My time is valuable. If you won't take this seriously, I'll give you a push."

As his words fell, Gensou stepped forward with his right foot.

Boom!

The ground shook.

As the earth beneath his feet cracked like a spiderweb, Gensou moved, almost teleporting, covering dozens of meters in an instant and appearing right in front of Itachi.

Unlike his clone, who used a dazzling array of techniques, Gensou simply extended his right hand, curled his fingers into a fist, and rotated his hips.

Even an ordinary person could predict the trajectory of such a simple, straightforward punch.

Under normal circumstances, Itachi, with his Mangekyō Sharingan, could have easily evaded or countered this punch in a hundred different ways.

But this was Hagoromo Gensou.

Recalling the reports about Gensou's abilities and the results of their earlier exchange, Itachi didn't dare to take this seemingly simple punch lightly. He crossed his arms in front of him, intending to block the punch and counterattack.

Boom!

A sudden, violent shockwave exploded outward, physically shaking the surrounding air.

Itachi, who hadn't expected such immense power behind Gensou's punch, felt as if he had collided with a giant of legend. With a deafening sonic boom, he was sent flying uncontrollably, crashing through over a dozen trees and carving a deep trench into the earth before finally coming to a stop, blood spilling from his mouth.

Pure strength can often overpower skill.

Unlike when he used his clone, which relied on the precision of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the real Gensou fought with a direct, powerful, and efficient style.

Just like now.

Even against someone with the Mangekyō Sharingan, he didn't bother with flashy techniques. A single punch, regardless of whether the opponent blocked or dodged, would ultimately land on his terms.

This was the advantage of immense strength and defense.

Not even the Mangekyō Sharingan could negate it.

"The force behind that punch rivals the legendary strength of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade."

Itachi's hands trembled as he quickly rose, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His pupils narrowed slightly as he felt a surge of disbelief.

In all the intel he had gathered about Gensou, there was no mention of his overwhelming physical power.

"Has he made another breakthrough?"

Itachi wondered as he noticed Gensou, brimming with an oppressive aura, closing in on him once more. He didn't hesitate any longer.

Susanoo!

A massive, orange-red skeletal frame enveloped Itachi, encasing him entirely.

But before Itachi could even prepare a follow-up—

Gensou, now right in front of him, didn't hesitate. He threw another punch.

Crack!

Itachi's Susanoo shattered, a massive hole appearing in its structure.

Itachi's eyes widened in shock as he quickly retreated.

The ground where he had just stood erupted into a crater as Gensou's punch drove into it.

As the dust settled, Gensou calmly straightened up, brushing the dirt from his fist. With a casual wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew the remaining dust away.

As his vision cleared, Gensou turned to face Itachi.

The Susanoo that had been shattered was now restored, but this time, it had evolved into a more complete form. The skeletal structure was now covered with formidable armor, resembling a fearsome tengu.

"Third form... is this all?"

Gensou's tone was laced with disappointment.

To others, seeing Itachi's Susanoo in this state might have been awe-inspiring.

But Gensou had once witnessed Uchiha Madara's fully evolved Susanoo.

Compared to that towering, blue colossus that could rival mountains, the Susanoo before him seemed underwhelming.

Itachi, hearing Gensou's words, remained unfazed. Calmly, he stepped forward, guiding his colossal red Susanoo, now radiating immense power, as it charged toward Gensou.

Gensou observed the approach, shaking his head slightly. He stepped forward as well, once again delivering a powerful punch toward the Susanoo.

But this time, Itachi was prepared. His eyes flickered, and Susanoo's left arm swung up, summoning a massive shield, as reflective as a mirror, between itself and Gensou.

Boom!

The ground trembled once more.

But Gensou's punch, reinforced with Steel Release and monstrous strength, which could topple even the mighty Wood Dragon, had no effect this time.

Not only did the Susanoo remain unmoved, but a familiar force from the mirror-like shield rebounded toward Gensou.

"Huh?"

For the first time, Gensou took a step back.

"Yata no Kagami?"

Feeling the force of his own punch rebound into his hand, Gensou raised an eyebrow.

The Yata no Kagami, as recorded in the history of the Uchiha clan, was a famous ethereal artifact. It not only possessed all chakra nature transformations, allowing it to nullify any chakra-based attack by changing its own properties, but it could also reflect all physical attacks.

In terms of pure defense, it was even stronger than the Fivefold Rashomon, which was hailed as the ultimate defense.

Chương 146: Chapter 146

[500PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 1000PS!]

But that wasn't all.

Gensou's gaze shifted to the right hand of Itachi's Susanoo, where a sword wreathed in red flames had materialized, slashing toward him.

Totsuka no Tsurugi—another legendary spiritual weapon.

This blade not only traps anyone it pierces in a dreamlike illusion but can also unleash high-level sealing techniques, permanently sealing its target within a gourd-shaped hilt.

Even Gensou had no desire to test the effects of being sealed by the Totsuka Blade.

The combination of the Yata no Kagami, the Totsuka no Tsurugi, and the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities was precisely why Itachi had the confidence to face Gensou.

He was not yet at the point of death, as he had been during his final battle with Sasuke. The brilliance of the Yata no Kagami and Totsuka no Tsurugi was not a fleeting one.

In this state, even Uchiha Obito, the true mastermind behind the Akatsuki, was wary of Itachi. He had even stationed Kisame, one of his own loyalists, by Itachi's side to monitor his actions at all times.

After all, if a fight were to break out, Obito couldn't guarantee he would defeat Itachi, another Mangekyō Sharingan wielder.

And if Itachi had infused his body with Hashirama's cells, eliminating the risk of overusing the Mangekyō Sharingan, there was no doubt that Obito wouldn't stand a chance.

But Hagoromo Gensou was no Uchiha Obito.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the relentless assault of Itachi's Susanoo, the already ravaged battlefield became even more desolate.

Gensou's figure, appearing diminutive in comparison, flashed around, skillfully evading the Totsuka Blade's strikes. Seizing an opening, he clapped his hands together and invoked a powerful technique:

"Yōton: Kairyu Ishi no Jutsu!" (Lava Release: Ash Stone Giant)

"Yōton: Shakugawa no Yoroi!" (Lava Release: Molten River Armor)

In a combination of jutsu, Gensou summoned a smaller version of the Flame God. Even so, this scaled-down version of the Flame God was no smaller than the red Susanoo in front of him. Under Gensou's command, it charged at Susanoo with tremendous force.

Seeing this, the red Susanoo had no choice but to raise the Yata no Kagami to block the attack, then swung the Totsuka Blade to strike.

Although the Flame God wasn't a living entity and thus couldn't be affected by the illusion or sealing abilities, the Totsuka Blade still easily sliced off one of its arms.

Gensou glanced at the Totsuka Blade with a hint of surprise. It was far sharper than the swords wielded by Madara's full-bodied Susanoo.

Neither Madara nor Izuna had obtained it; who knew how Itachi had come across such a weapon?

Roar...

The Flame God, missing an arm, quickly regenerated a new limb from its molten body and continued to grapple with Susanoo.

Gensou, who intended only to buy time, no longer paid attention to the battle between the Flame God and Susanoo. He began forming hand seals, gathering a large amount of chakra in his mouth.

"Futton: Kōmu no Jutsu!" (Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique)

A massive cloud of superheated acidic mist, far larger in scale than before, erupted from Gensou's mouth, quickly enveloping the entire battlefield.

Suddenly, Itachi's surroundings turned a blinding white, and his Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly, sensing the overwhelming danger in the approaching mist. From within Susanoo, Itachi's expression grew even more serious as he scanned the area.

Soon enough—

Zzzzz...

The acidic mist, powerful enough to melt the bones of Madara's Susanoo, made contact with Itachi's red Susanoo, and the sound of intense corrosion filled the air as the mist began to eat away at the parts of Susanoo not protected by the Yata no Kagami.

"The mastery of this Kekkei Genkai... it's beyond extraordinary!"

Itachi's expression became even graver as he witnessed this scene.

He had encountered Kekkei Genkai users before, but the same Kekkei Genkai, when used by different people, could yield vastly different results.

Just like now with Gensou.

As a true genius of the Uchiha clan, Itachi now fully understood the source of Gensou's power. It wasn't merely the attention-grabbing array of Kekkei Genkai that he possessed.

The real strength lay in Gensou's profound understanding and control of chakra itself.

For someone like Gensou, even a basic Fire Release technique could be devastating, surpassing its rank under his mastery.

Let alone more advanced techniques, forbidden jutsu, or Kekkei Genkai.

Itachi, who had once been baffled by the claims that Gensou was a figure comparable to a deity, now understood that the awe inspired by Gensou was not just due to his strength.

It was also an acknowledgment of his extraordinary talent and genius.

At the very least, even someone as proud as Itachi could not guarantee he would reach such a level of mastery over chakra in his lifetime.

"I can't stay here."

The Boil Release mist, potent enough to melt through Susanoo's formidable defenses, resisted by Itachi's Wind Release attempts to dispel it, forced him into action. He quickly decided to retreat, using Susanoo to escape the mist's range.

But as he attempted to withdraw, the Flame God grabbed Susanoo, refusing to let it flee.

"It's too late."

With Susanoo on the verge of disintegration and the Flame God preventing any retreat, Itachi made a rapid decision. The Yata no Kagami on Susanoo's left arm began to glow brightly.

"Yata no Kagami: Absolute Defense!"

In an instant, the shield transformed, extending and enveloping Susanoo completely, leaving no gaps.

The Flame God's attacks and the boiling mist were rendered ineffective, and instead, their force was reflected back.

Soon, the rebounding mist dissolved the Flame God and surged toward Gensou.

"A defense and counter technique akin to Hakkeshō Kaiten..."

Without even glancing at the acidic mist that could melt flesh and steel alike, Gensou extended his right hand, allowing his Dark Release to absorb the mist entirely and convert it back into his chakra. His eyes never left the Susanoo, now fully shielded by the Yata no Kagami.

After a moment of observation, he calmly remarked:

"Just a desperate struggle."

Sure enough, the Absolute Defense of the Yata no Kagami didn't last long.

When Itachi's figure reappeared, the Yata no Kagami on Susanoo's left arm had vanished.

As a price for using the Absolute Defense, the Yata no Kagami could not be summoned again for a short time.

Not giving Itachi any chance to catch his breath, Gensou instantly appeared at Susanoo's side, delivering a powerful punch.

Boom!

Despite its immense size, Susanoo staggered violently from the impact, tilting to one side.
