Chương 290: Chapter 290: Itachi: You All Leave, I'll Stay Behind!

"You tell me, originally our Akatsuki's goal was to maintain peace. We wanted to reach an agreement with Hanzō the Salamander!"

"But we were ambushed in the end, and my closest friend lost his life because of it!"

"You tell me that people can understand each other? Do you really think you can understand?"

"And when I was young, my parents were killed by the Leaf's shinobi, and they were just ordinary civilians!"

"Tell me, how am I supposed to understand that?"

Inside the cave, the argument between Nagato and Naruto continued, with Nagato raising his voice and demanding answers from Naruto.

Was he genuinely willing to talk with Naruto? Not really. Nagato was simply stalling for time.

The real reason was to ensure his chakra could remain focused on controlling the Six Paths of Pain to fight Akira.

Naruto, unaware of Nagato's true intentions, listened to his story, and silently questioned himself.

If he were truly in Nagato's position, could he manage to understand his enemies?

"What? You can't do it either, can you?" Seeing Naruto remain silent without a response, Nagato asked, as if he already knew the answer.

Understanding each other? Forgiving one's enemies?

What a joke, how could anyone really do that?

This guy, after all, was just a fifteen-year-old boy!

"No, I think I can do it!" However, after seriously putting himself in Nagato's shoes for a moment, Naruto replied earnestly.

"Uh..." Naruto's response left Nagato stunned, and he looked at Naruto in disbelief.

"I believe I can do it. I can let go of the hatred and understand the other side!" Naruto's eyes were resolute, staring at Nagato.

That determined gaze caused Nagato's heart to tremble slightly, but soon after, Nagato scoffed internally.

"Why are you laughing?" Seeing Nagato's scoffing expression, Naruto asked, clearly annoyed.

That smile, no matter how one looked at it, was deeply uncomfortable.

"That's why I say you're just a flower that has been nurtured in a greenhouse.

"You've never faced true adversity, never experienced real pain, which is why you can speak such naive words!"

"If you had experienced genuine suffering, you wouldn't be able to say these things!" Nagato shook his head as he spoke.

Unlike in the original story, where Nagato had already destroyed the Leaf Village and Naruto had defeated the Six Paths of Pain, and they could calmly discuss peace, now Nagato was only stalling.

Back then, Nagato had to take Naruto's words seriously, since Naruto had already gained the upper hand.

But now, Naruto merely showed up while the Six Paths of Pain were fighting Akira, and Nagato was merely buying time.

Because of this, Naruto's words lacked weight.

In the original story, Naruto truly forgave Nagato, who had destroyed the Leaf. That was genuine.

But now, Naruto was just making an empty promise, saying he could forgive. Without actual proof, why would Nagato believe him?

Without the necessary conditions, Naruto's Talk no Jutsu failed, leaving Nagato unconvinced.

Meanwhile, after over ten minutes of battle, the clash between the Akatsuki and the Leaf Village had reached a critical point.

The first to be overwhelmed was Sasuke.

Though both wielded Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi's control of his Mangekyou was clearly more refined, and he even activated Susano'o!

With the Yata Mirror in one hand and the Totsuka Blade in the other, Itachi completely dominated Sasuke.

Seeing Itachi's Totsuka Blade, Akira couldn't help but feel envious.

The Kusanagi Sword was a famed blade in the shinobi world, but it wasn't a specific sword. There were actually several Kusanagi Swords.

In the original story, Black Zetsu mentioned that Itachi's Totsuka Blade was one of these legendary blades!

Orochimaru had even said himself that he had been searching for that particular Kusanagi Sword, never expecting it to end up with Itachi.

Every Susano'o had its own unique weapon.

For example, Madara wielded dual blades, Shisui had his spiraling spear, and Akira possessed the Yasakani Magatama.

Itachi's sacred relic was actually the Yata Mirror in his left hand.

So, the Totsuka Blade wasn't inherently a part of Susano'o but rather a weapon Itachi had obtained that could conveniently be used with Susano'o.

Today, Itachi seemed to have resolved himself to die, and Akira thought that maybe he could take over the Totsuka Blade?

After all, his Susano'o lacked a suitable weapon.

With Itachi holding back, he was only pressuring Sasuke without truly harming him.

On the other side, however, the battle between Kakashi and Obito was brutal.

At this point, Kakashi was being completely overpowered by Obito.

After fighting for so long, Kakashi was running out of chakra—a significant disadvantage—while Obito, with Hashirama's cells, showed no such weakness.

So, now Kakashi was being thoroughly beaten by Obito!

If it weren't for the old bonds from childhood, Obito would have done more than just beat him; Kakashi would likely have been killed outright.

"Alright, the battle has reached this stage, it's about time to wrap things up." Observing the battlefield, Akira realized that if they continued, Itachi and Obito wouldn't be able to keep acting.

Moreover, Kakuzu wasn't in a great spot either, and Akira didn't want to see Kakuzu really die at the hands of the Leaf.

Taking a deep breath, Akira leaped into the air and began forming seals with both hands.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Six wood clones appeared, standing beside Akira, and of course, they also positioned themselves in front of the Six Paths of Pain!

"This guy... Could he be trying..." Seeing Akira create six shadow clones, the Six Paths of Pain immediately guessed his intentions.

Sure enough, as the six wood clones materialized, their Mangekyou Sharingan lit up brilliantly.

...*

The next moment, six towering golden Susano'o appeared, each about a hundred meters tall.

These six Susano'o moved forward, completely overwhelming the Six Paths of Pain!

Seeing the six giant Susano'o standing tall, everyone present was momentarily speechless.

This is Akira's power? He can summon six fully formed Susano'o?

It seemed even stronger than what he had shown in the Leaf Village!

Back then, he had only used four wood clones to create Susano'o.

"Just six Susano'o? Sigh, compared to Madara who effortlessly summoned twenty-five Susano'o, it's still far behind."

Though everyone around was shocked by the six massive Susano'o, Akira quietly shook his head, feeling unsatisfied with his power.

"This is Akira's power?"

Looking at Akira's Susano'o, with their legs and fully-formed bodies, Itachi then looked at his own, which was merely a partial Susano'o, standing only a few meters tall.

Not only was it incomplete in form, but it was also significantly smaller. Itachi shook his head silently.

So, compared to Akira, there really was a big gap in power.

With the six Susano'o now out, Akira's strength clearly had a crushing advantage.

On the Leaf side, with Jiraiya and Tsunade leading the charge, they quickly gained the upper hand, pushing the Akatsuki back.

Under their relentless attacks, Kakuzu, Deidara, and Kisame were forced to retreat!

"Retreat..." Seeing the Six Paths of Pain being overwhelmed, and the situation on the battlefield becoming irreversible, Deva Path Pain shouted loudly.

With that, all the chakra from the Six Paths concentrated into Deva Path, unleashing a powerful Shinra Tensei, a Super Almighty Push, affecting everyone.

Everyone from the Leaf Village, except for Akira, was blown away by the powerful blast, each suffering injuries of varying severity.

"You all go ahead. I'll stay behind and cover our retreat!" At this critical moment, Itachi seemed to have made up his mind and spoke to Pain, resolutely staying behind.

"Itachi!" Hearing that Itachi would stay behind, Sasuke couldn't help but shout out in disbelief!

He was a member of the Uchiha clan, a native of the Leaf Village!

And yet, years ago, he had wiped out their clan, killing his own kin.

But today? He was willing to risk his life to protect the Akatsuki?

So, was the Akatsuki more important to him than the Leaf Village or even the Uchiha Clan?

Sasuke's heart was filled with fury!

It was a typical case of being kinder to outsiders while being harsh to one's own family.

"Itachi, he..." Hearing Itachi's words, the other members of the Akatsuki were stunned as well, dumbfounded, barely able to believe their ears!

He was really willing to stay behind to cover their retreat?

Chương 291: Chapter 291:

Regardless of what others thought at the moment, this battle between the Akatsuki and the Leaf Village had reached its climax. For Uchiha Itachi, this was the most crucial moment, the time for him to truly take the stage!

Due to the overuse of the Mangekyou Sharingan, two lines of blood-tears trickled down from the corners of Itachi's eyes.

He coughed a few times, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained resolute.

"Why?" Kakashi and the others looked at Itachi in confusion.

They found it hard to understand why Itachi would go to such lengths for the Akatsuki.

"We leave now!" Deva Path Pain exchanged a glance with Obito, then nodded silently, signaling the other Akatsuki members to retreat.

Though they didn't understand why Itachi chose to stay behind at such a critical moment, if someone was willing to cover their retreat, it was all the better.

So, Deva Path Pain led the remaining members of Akatsuki in a swift retreat.

"Itachi... he's truly someone beyond comprehension." Before leaving, Kisame gave Itachi a deep, long look.

Having been partnered with Itachi for a long time, Kisame thought he understood Itachi well enough.

But today's events completely took him by surprise.

He never imagined that in such a crucial moment, Itachi would show such a spirit of sacrifice for the team.

As the members of Akatsuki began to retreat, naturally, the Leaf Village shinobi weren't ready to let them go easily. Each of them began to move, attempting to intercept the fleeing Akatsuki members.

But just then, Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly. Clearly, he was unleashing his full ocular power without holding anything back.

Boom!

An expanse of pitch-black flames surged forth.

Amaterasu!

Without restraint, Itachi unleashed Amaterasu, causing his Mangekyou Sharingan to bleed heavily.

However, having already resolved to die, Itachi treated this as his final Amaterasu.

The black flames formed a long wall, blocking the path of all the Leaf Village shinobi!

"Is this Itachi's final strength?" Watching the enormous Amaterasu flames, Kisame sighed with emotion.

Indeed, knowing that excessive use of the Mangekyou Sharingan could lead to blindness, Itachi always minimized its usage, saving his strength for when it was absolutely necessary.

Unleashing his ocular power without holding back—this was the first time Itachi had ever done so.

"Is he truly resolved to die?" Obito, well aware of the side effects of the Mangekyou, also muttered to himself, seeing such a powerful Amaterasu.

Even so, Obito still did not fully trust Itachi.

Furthermore, Itachi's decision to stay behind seemed far too unusual.

Thus, during their retreat, Obito signaled Zetsu with a glance.

Zetsu, understanding Obito's intention, nodded silently and sank into the ground.

Zetsu, too, wanted to verify whether Itachi's final stand had any hidden tricks.

"Sasuke, go ahead, grant him some dignity."

All the Leaf shinobi were blocked by the immense Amaterasu flames, and Akira turned to Sasuke and spoke.

Hearing this, Sasuke hesitated for a moment.

But after thinking it over, he eventually moved forward.

At this point, he understood that Itachi was destined to die today, and by personally seeing him off, he could at least grant Itachi a dignified end.

At least, Itachi would die at the hands of an Uchiha, thus perhaps atoning for the sin of slaughtering his own clan.

"Sasuke, come, let this be our final duel!" Itachi's vision had already blurred, but he shouted loudly.

In this final moment of his performance, Itachi knew exactly how to make the last scene impactful.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly, and his Mangekyou spun briefly, with blood-tears rolling down his face. At the same time, his purple Susano'o emerged.

Itachi, too, summoned the last of his ocular power, activating his Susano'o.

One was purple, the other a crimson red. The two Susano'o faced each other, ready for their final confrontation.

The final act was well played, but the outcome was inevitable.

The battle didn't last long—after only a few exchanges, Itachi's energy was exhausted, and he finally fell, dying at Sasuke's hands.

Akira walked over unceremoniously, reaching down to retrieve the gourd-like Totsuka Blade.

In the original story, after Itachi's death, there was no clear explanation of what happened to the Totsuka Blade.

As one of the Kusanagi Swords, it was unlikely to vanish with Itachi's death.

But now, it was in Akira's possession.

With that, Akira's Susano'o finally had a suitable weapon.

Sasuke stood in place, his expression hollow.

He could hardly believe that Itachi had truly died at his hands.

Sasuke didn't harbor the same hatred as in the original story; killing Itachi was merely following the tide of destiny.

To personally kill the brother he had cared for the most—this left Sasuke deeply shaken.

If not for already possessing the Mangekyou, today's pain might have been enough to awaken it once again.

"I wonder how things are going with Naruto? Let's go check." Akira called out to Jiraiya, reminding him.

The Akatsuki members had retreated, but Naruto was still with Nagato, trying to use his Talk no Jutsu.

What if Naruto failed?

Wouldn't that mean the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would be handed over just like that?

Hearing Akira's reminder, Jiraiya quickly snapped back to attention and hurried in the direction Naruto had gone.

"That idiot..." Sasuke also snapped out of his daze, a sense of concern for Naruto surfacing. He cursed quietly and ran after Jiraiya—there was no time to grieve over Itachi now.

To Sasuke, besides Itachi, Naruto had unconsciously become like a brother to him...

Therefore, knowing Naruto could be in danger, how could Sasuke just stay put?

"Sigh..." Seeing both Sasuke and Jiraiya rush away, followed by Tsunade, Akira shook his head silently, looking down at Itachi's body with a sigh.

Perhaps this ending was the best one for Itachi?

Even though the Uchiha Massacre never took place as it did in the original story, Itachi had still raised his hand against his clan.

Some mistakes can be atoned for.

But some fundamental wrongs cannot be undone, regardless of merit.

Even though Itachi had served as a spy within the Akatsuki for many years, contributing greatly to the Leaf Village, the sin of attacking his own clan could not be erased by any achievements.

So, in his final moments, using his life to wash away his sins, and gifting his Mangekyou Sharingan to the brother he loved most...

Perhaps this was the best ending for Uchiha Itachi.

Akira knelt beside Itachi, looking at his body. Even in death, there was a hint of a smile on Itachi's lips.

Clearly, he was at peace in his final moments.

Staring at Itachi's body, Akira couldn't help but feel a wave of complex emotions.

He remembered the time he first arrived in the Uchiha clan, filled with fear and anxiety about his future.

Knowing the original storyline well, Akira understood that without growing stronger, he wouldn't survive the Uchiha Massacre.

In the early days, even in simulations of his life, he often met his end at Itachi's hands.

It wasn't until later, when he became Shisui's disciple, that he truly started having significant contact with Itachi.

Even after Shisui's death, Akira awakened his own three-tomoe Sharingan while Itachi awakened his Mangekyou.

Later, Itachi entrusted Akira with Shisui's last two million ryo inheritance and even his Mangekyou Sharingan.

From the steel blade hanging over his head at the beginning to their shared experiences due to Shisui, and then finally being on the same side after the avoided Massacre Night...

Looking at Itachi's lifeless body, Akira was filled with countless emotions.

Much like in the original, Itachi's life had been full of tragedy and burdens.

However, at least in this life, he hadn't completely wiped out his clan. His burden was somewhat lighter than in the original.

"Alright, Akira, don't be sad..." Kakashi and Might Guy approached, sensing Akira's emotions, and spoke up.

"Got it." Akira nodded, taking a moment to regain his composure.

With that, he lifted his hand, a sealing scroll appearing in his palm.

Then, he carefully sealed Itachi's body into the scroll.
