Chapter 287 Activating Izanami
[Flame Release: Kagutsuchi! ]
Itachi controlled Susanoo and cut off a piece of bone spur in front of him with one strike.
After resolving the immediate crisis, the two ran deeper into the cave.
Kabuto on the opposite side manipulated Kimimaro to pull out a flute-like bone spur, and then Kimimaro's appearance changed into that of Tayuya.
[Escaped inside? But it was a waste of effort. ]
[Tayuya, Magic Flute Dream Sound Lock! ]

"My goodness, Kabuto isn't fighting, he's showing off his abilities, right?"
"Kou makes a move, and Sasuke and Itachi counter it. It's really fun to watch."
"The abilities of the Sound Four are still very tricky. This time, with Kabuto controlling them, even the power of their ninjutsu has increased a lot."
"It was enhanced by the immortal technique, so its destructive power is so terrifying."

Deep in the cave.
[Are you okay? Sasuke...]
As soon as he finished speaking, the two were pulled into the illusion world.
In the world of illusion
The two were entangled by the white snake and could not move.
reality
The Susanoo on the two men gradually dissipated.
Sasuke said with difficulty: [Is it an illusion? ]
[Your most proud Susanoo can't block the sound. I knew it. This blocks your actions. Next...]
With that said, Kabuto walked towards the two of them.
Tayuya in front of Kabuto turned into Orochimaru.
[I will use Lord Orochimaru to absorb you. 】
[How is it, Sasuke? Do you still remember what I look like now? ]
[Thanks to you for killing Lord Orochimaru, I was able to successfully merge Lord Orochimaru into my body. Yes, this is my true appearance now! ]
[I have said that all the natural laws and principles that Orochimaru has collected and studied are stored in my body. What is missing is Orochimaru himself. Now even Orochimaru is in my body. I cannot thank you enough, Sasuke.]
Itachi advised: [Kabuto. You are not Orochimaru. It is okay to imitate someone you respect, but don't assimilate yourself to him.]
Kabuto didn't take it seriously: [Most people start by imitating others when they do something. Just like Sasuke once imitated you.]
Itachi said in a deep voice: [This behavior is a process that promotes your own growth. It should not be used as a disguise like you do. Tying your own value to something worthy of praise and then looking for the meaning of your existence from it will not find anything.]
[Finally, I'll say it again. Don't deceive yourself with lies. Those who cannot admit themselves are doomed to fail.]
Dou murmured softly: [You said that I am doomed to fail now? ]
【How to fail! 】
Orochimaru, who was in front of Kabuto, suddenly jumped out and bit the two of them.
Itachi turned to Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, look into my eyes."
Sasuke didn't hesitate at all.
【I see. 】
[Illusion! Sharingan! ]
【Monthly reading! 】
In the magic space
Sasuke swung the Kusanagi sword and cut off the snake that bound Itachi.
On the other side, the white snake that was binding Sasuke was also cut off by Itachi.
Just when Orochimaru was about to bite the two men, the red Susanoo cut open the snake's mouth with a sword, and the purple Susanoo grabbed the snake's body and pressed it to the ground.
As Dou watched this scene, a line of tears rolled down his cheeks.
[Izanami will be activated next. You have already failed. ]
Sasuke asked: [Is it over? ]
Itachi held up two fingers and said nothing.
But in the next moment, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly a pocket shot out of Orochimaru's mouth, and with his palm covered with chakra, he moved sideways and cut Itachi's body into two pieces.
Sasuke stared at the scene with eyes wide open in disbelief.
Itachi seemed a little unbelievable as well.
Dou had a blank expression on his face and said in a cold voice: [Of course a genius who has everything can't understand. I just want to be my true self. No one can stop me.]

"I thought the way Itachi and Sasuke solved the illusion was cool enough, but I didn't expect there was something even cooler to come."
"Itachi's words reminded me of the look he and Kabuto exchanged earlier... No way? If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the outcome of the battle is already determined at the beginning?"
"This Itachi guy is so scary!"
Near Water Country
Orochimaru licked his lips and glanced at Itachi in the distance with interest.
"Even I have to admit that this guy is the most special ninja I have ever met."
not far away
Itachi saw that they were looking at him and gave them a polite smile.

The purple Susanoo slapped towards where Itachi was, and the huge impact force directly blew Itachi's upper body away.
[Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique! ]
[Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique! ]
"呲-"
--boom
The huge waterfall easily annihilated the fireball and submerged Susanoo.
In the thick steam where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, Kabuto easily pierced Itachi's body with the Kusanagi sword.
At this moment, one of Itachi's Mangekyō suddenly turned white, and his entire body turned into a flock of crows and dissipated.
Kabuto used his arms to block his head, and the Kusanagi sword fell out of his hand.
Itachi took the Kusanagi sword as it formed into a crow and slashed at Kabuto, but Kabuto dodged it.
The moment the two people landed on the ground, a small white horn also landed on the ground at the same time.
[Same trick, did you think I couldn't think of it? I said, as long as my body has this much recovery power, any kind of damage is meaningless. For me who has cut off my vision, all illusions are ineffective. You have no chance of winning.]
……
Ninja World
Many people in the ninja world are still a little confused.
"Wasn't that horn chopped off by Itachi before?"
Some people also understand.
"Izanami has activated."
"Kou has already lost."
"This illusion is too difficult to solve."
"But I still don't know much about Izanami. That technique seems very profound."
"I don't have a high IQ or high talent. I'm here to make up the numbers and serve as a foil for this group of people, right?"

[Your fate is in my hands. What allows me to do this is another forbidden technique of Uchiha. That is...]
Chakra wrapped around Kabuto's hand: [Then let me see the fate you talked about! ]
【Izanami! 】
The Kusanagi sword in Itachi's hand collided with Kabuto's palm, making a "ding" sound.
The two were instantly separated.
[Sasuke, don't be too far away from me. ]
Kou put his hands on his hips and walked forward: [This scene looks so familiar. I'm tired of playing, let's end this battle quickly. ]
[I am the one who controls your destiny. But the one who can decide your destiny is you. Recall what I said and think carefully.]
Kabuto walked to a distance from the two of them and stopped.
[I really don't understand what you are talking about. Enough with the word games. I am the one who has everything and I am the real strong one. That's all I know!]
As he said that, Orochimaru, who was in the belly button, suddenly jumped out.
[The one who can forgive himself and recognize his true self is the real strong one. ]
Itachi controlled Susanoo and grabbed Orochimaru.
[Just a stray dog...]
As soon as Kabuto emerged from Orochimaru's mouth, he was grabbed by the purple Susanoo.
Kabuto opened his mouth again and bit off Itachi's hand holding the Kusanagi sword.
【Stop barking! 】
Kabuto took the Kusanagi sword and stabbed Itachi through the chest with it.
