Everything was under control.
This sentence was perfectly suited to describe the god-like ninja under the Hokage's robe.
Even a bystander like Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't observe things as clearly as this Lord Hokage from the Uchiha clan.
The corpse of the rogue youth that had been lying on the ground suddenly vanished like a flower in the mirror or the moon on the water. A flock of crows swarmed in, forming a human figure. "To think you could even detect a dōjutsu of the Izanagi's level…"
The figure of the rogue Itachi Uchiha constantly distorted. His left eye was fixed on his enemy, while his right eye had turned a grayish-white…
"No, I didn't detect it."
The figure in the Hokage's robe shook his head and said softly, "I just believed in myself, because I will never miss any opportunity to defeat an enemy! I believe the 'me' of this world would have the same thought…"
"Moreover, even Izanagi is not without a counter, nor is it impossible to recover from…"
"So I guessed that after you experienced the World of Tsukuyomi, you must have discovered something that made you dare to directly abandon your right eye, right?"
Hearing this, the heart of the Itachi Uchiha under the black robe with red clouds was greatly shaken. This Fifth Hokage from another world, his every sentence struck a chord in his heart. The guy's words were not wrong in the slightest!
…Well…
Although they were not from the same world, he still understood himself quite well.
In the genjutsu of that World of Tsukuyomi, he had indeed discovered something a little different, such as Nagato's true identity, the identity of the mysterious masked man, many secrets of the Uchiha clan, and he had even obtained some other things…
Thinking about it carefully, that world of illusion was so real and captivating that he was even a little reluctant to leave after waking up…
But a dream, in the end, must be woken up from.
In reality, both his and Sasuke's lives were under the control of the enemy from another world. Therefore, he had used genjutsu to control Sasuke to attack him, using Izanagi to fake his death…
Foolish little brother…
In the end, you still can't escape the fate of being controlled by your big brother…
"Let me think, what exactly is the trump card that gave you the courage to sacrifice a Sharingan to attack me?" The Itachi Uchiha under the Hokage's robe looked up and said with his eyes closed in thought, "It must be Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, right?"
He had guessed it!
The Shisui of this ninja world had already committed suicide. Before his death, one of his Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan had fallen into Danzo's hands. With Shisui's personality, he would have definitely entrusted his other precious Mangekyo to someone he trusted!
The rogue Itachi Uchiha did not refute it. He gently plucked out his own grayish-white eye, casually grabbed a crow beside him, and removed the Sharingan from the crow's eye socket…
When he placed that Sharingan back into his own eye socket, the surrounding tissue seemed to come alive, healing rapidly!
"It's the Yin Healing Wound Destruction…"
The Fifth Hokage praised softly, "Your will is very strong. Not only did you not get lost in the World of Tsukuyomi, but you actually gained new power from the reality of the World of Tsukuyomi?"
The Yin Healing Wound Destruction was a medical ninjutsu created by Kabuto Yakushi.
Before an injury reaches the body, one can arrange chakra in advance to heal oneself, which can minimize the damage and allow for rapid wound healing!
"I can't deny that your World of Tsukuyomi was extremely real, but it was precisely because of that that I obtained some unprecedented things…"
The body in black with red clouds nodded and continued, "In the World of Tsukuyomi, I traumatically destroyed my own body to be identical to my real body. This way, I would become more familiar with the ninjutsu I learned in that world…"
"It truly is a world that makes it easy for one to become lost. If one cannot use their own will to restrain their emotions, they will want to be addicted to the illusion for the rest of their lives…"
In reality, the rogue youth had also nearly been lost in the illusion of the World of Tsukuyomi. It was only by relying on his hatred for himself and his love for Sasuke that he had managed to hold on…
There, he discovered certain possibilities of the World of Tsukuyomi, such as torturing his own body to be identical to his real one, and then using this opportunity to train in new ninjutsu, frantically absorbing any jutsu that could increase his power.
Moreover, the Shisui of that world, although his temperament was different from the one he knew, had also given him many precious gifts, such as some powerful forbidden jutsu, how to deal with Six Paths-level enemies, and a powerful Sage Mode…
The reason he had dared to abandon his Amaterasu Mangekyo Sharingan was precisely because he had learned the method of the Sharingan's evolution. Even if an Eternal Mangekyo went completely blind, it would be restored in the process of advancing to the Rinnegan!
Plus, he had already completely learned Blaze Release in the World of Tsukuyomi, so Amaterasu could no longer be considered a powerful ocular jutsu… The only pity was that his sickly body could not quickly enter Sage Mode…
In reality, no one could help him absorb natural energy. He had to find a way to use Izanagi to buy time to absorb natural energy. As long as he successfully evolved into Sage Mode, he would have a chance to defeat a ninja of the Six Paths Sage's level!
And now, the time bought by Izanagi was enough!
The rogue ninja under the black and red clouds let out a light breath, sensing that the natural energy within his body had reached a critical point. He shouted softly, "Sage Mode: Activate!"
A pair of pitch-black wings unfurled from his back!
The surging presence brought by the sage chakra shocked everyone present!
No one had ever imagined that Itachi of the Sharingan had this move hidden up his sleeve!
The Fifth Hokage was at a loss for words as he watched the scene before him. The observing Kisame Hoshigaki also couldn't help but gape.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me!" The shark-faced man's expression was exceptionally ugly. "Could it be that this world also has a great Lord Kitahara!"
"No, this is what he learned in the World of Tsukuyomi. It seems there are still some remnants of Kitahara in that eye!"
The Fifth Hokage Itachi Uchiha's mind gradually relaxed. He looked at the rogue youth in mid-air and sighed softly, "A strength worthy of respect. To be able to find a path to survival in a hopeless situation, I admire your will…"
"Itachi-kun, don't praise yourself anymore!" Kisame waved his hand and said loudly, "I have a feeling this place is not very safe anymore…"
A great battle between ninjas in Sage Mode—the ANBU Captain of the Hidden Mist had truly seen it many times…
Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest, Mount Myoboku, Naka Shrine—these sage regions had trained many ninjas who could use Sage Mode in their ninja world!
And the Naka Shrine's Sage Mode was recognized as the strongest among these sage regions!
The Fifth Hokage looked at the shark-faced man, his brow furrowed tightly. "Just what did Kitahara do to my World of Tsukuyomi? I'll have to ask it clearly when I get back…"
Kisame could only weakly retort, "This must have been Lord Tobirama's doing. He was the one who helped you advance to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan…"
"…"
The Lord Hokage no longer paid any attention to his companion's sophistry. His body flew up into the air, and a pair of wings grew from his back…
Looking at the rogue youth opposite him who had also activated Sage Mode, he spoke softly, "Even in Sage Mode, there is a fundamental difference between us… because I was the first ninja to train in Sage Mode."
"And, it was Kitahara who personally trained with me." As he spoke, a trace of confidence flashed in his eyes.
This was a ninja who understood Sage Mode better than even Hagoromo Otsutsuki. He could be incomparably confident in front of anyone!
Looking at the opponent who had instantly entered Sage Mode, under the black and red clouds, Itachi Uchiha's expression suddenly became a little uneasy. "…"
