Chapter 502 The Victory or Defeat is Over
Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened in fury, veins bulging on his forehead, and he exuded a chilling aura. Clenching his fists, he roared at Danzo Shimura before him in a final, furious cry: "For this arm, how many of my Uchiha clansmen have you killed! They were all innocent people!"
Faced with Sasuke's questioning, Danzo Shimura's face flashed with a hint of panic, but he quickly regained his composure. He widened his eyes and retorted defiantly, "It was Itachi Uchiha who killed him! What does it have to do with me?" However, his voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating a lack of confidence.
"That was an order from your Konoha leadership!" Sasuke Uchiha roared, his fury seemingly filling the entire space. He had completely lost his reason, his heart filled only with endless hatred and rage towards his enemy. He gathered all his chakra in his palm, preparing to unleash his strongest attack, seemingly wanting to pour all his pain and grief into it, utterly destroying the despicable creature before him.
They knew in their hearts that the battle had dragged on for too long, and neither side wanted to continue this stalemate. Therefore, both sides decided to go all in, concentrating all their strength on this one strike, hoping to decide the outcome in one fell swoop!
Two figures approached rapidly like lightning, stirring up a fierce storm in their wake. One wielded a lightning-style longsword, its blade crackling and crackling with electricity; the other held a wind-style longsword, its blade surrounded by howling, sharp and fierce winds.
In the blink of an eye, the two longswords clashed, producing a crisp metallic clang. Immediately afterward, lightning and wind intertwined and merged, forming a powerful energy shockwave that spread outwards. But their attacks didn't stop there; their longswords remained firmly aimed at each other's vital points, determined to deliver a fatal blow!
At this critical moment, Sasuke Uchiha's crimson Sharingan suddenly flashed with a profound light, as if it could see through everything. With the Sharingan's unparalleled insight, just as the opponent's fierce attack was about to touch his vitals, he reacted with unimaginable agility, shifting his body slightly.
This seemingly insignificant adjustment precisely avoided the vital points. However, despite this, the opponent's wind-style longsword still struck with lightning speed, mercilessly piercing through his body. In an instant, excruciating pain struck, but because he had successfully dodged a fatal blow, the damage, though severe, was not life-threatening.
On the other side, Shimura Danzo, facing the lightning sword formed by Uchiha Sasuke, showed no sign of backing down, not even making the slightest attempt to dodge. He stood there straight, letting the sword, flashing with dazzling lightning, pierce his chest. Undoubtedly, this strike hit his vital point, delivering a fatal blow.
This situation arose solely because Shimura Danzo possessed extreme confidence in Izanagi, a mysterious and powerful secret technique. In his view, there was no need for any dodging; he only needed to focus entirely on ensuring his attacks accurately struck his opponent. After all, in this life-or-death struggle, he firmly believed that this strategy of trading injury for injury was absolutely worthwhile, and that ultimate victory would undoubtedly be his.
The fierce exchange of attacks between the two sides was like two bolts of lightning colliding in mid-air, instantly unleashing astonishing power and energy fluctuations. Each strike contained boundless killing intent and determination, making the surrounding air seem to be torn apart.
With two muffled thuds, the two men were simultaneously thrown backward, spitting out streams of scarlet blood that streaked through the air like two blood arrows. However, despite their severe injuries, their eyes remained fixed firmly on each other, showing no sign of backing down.
A barely perceptible gleam of triumph flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes. He coldly gazed at the swaying Uchiha Sasuke not far away, thinking to himself, "In the end, I'm the one who has the last laugh in this battle against the Uchiha clan." He knew that although Uchiha Sasuke had avoided fatal blows, his injuries were extremely severe, and he had almost lost the ability to continue fighting.
On the other hand, although his vital organs had also suffered severe injuries, and his injuries were even far more serious than his opponent's, he still had his last trump card—the Sharingan and the mysterious and powerful Izanagi technique. If he could successfully cast this technique, he could turn the tide and rewrite the current unfavorable battle situation.
Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze involuntarily falling on his own thick arm. The last Sharingan eye remained stubbornly open, as if unwilling to succumb to defeat. A barely perceptible sneer appeared on his lips as he spoke in a condescending, lecturing tone: "Young man, you're still too impatient. Look at those eyes, they still won't close! Fine, fine, since that's the case, then go obediently to Itachi Uchiha's side and listen to his lecture! As for this battle… hehe, without a doubt, I'll be the victor!" With that, he straightened his body abruptly, a powerful aura erupting from him, making him appear like an unshakeable mountain.
"You think you've seen through Izanagi?" With that, Shimura Danzo took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain in his body, and concentrated on activating Izanagi. However, just as he was about to unleash this forbidden technique, his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, and his previously confident demeanor vanished instantly.
His eyes widened as he stared at his hands in disbelief, muttering to himself, "How could this be? Why can't Izanagi be activated?" Only then did he realize with horror that he could not rely on this last straw to change his current desperate situation, which was facing a fatal blow.
At that moment, Shimura Danzo's face showed a look of utter disbelief. His eyes widened as he stared directly at Uchiha Sasuke. However, to his utter surprise, he was met with Uchiha Sasuke's expression, which was clearly filled with contempt. Uchiha Sasuke slightly raised his head, glancing sideways at Shimura Danzo, his eyes not only filled with undisguised disdain but also with an unusual indifference.
Danzo Shimura's heart sank, instantly realizing the dire situation—he had likely fallen into a meticulously crafted trap. However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't fathom how the other had managed to do all this. At that moment, an unprecedented sense of defeat washed over him, and he couldn't help but reflect: Was it truly because he had consistently underestimated this young man that he had ended up in such a pathetic and passive position?
Despite his numerous wounds, Sasuke Uchiha's injuries were not unbearable. Given time and quiet to recuperate, he would surely recover completely. In stark contrast, however, was Danzo Shimura. This once invincible figure was now suffering a fatal blow from Sasuke. The flame of life within him was slowly dying out; no matter how much he struggled, it was too late, and he could only helplessly await death.
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes revealed a hint of contempt and disdain. He slowly walked towards the dying Danzo Shimura, each step carrying the air of a victor. When he reached him, he stopped, looking down at his enemy who was about to enter the underworld, and coldly said, "Izanagi, this secret technique of the Uchiha clan is indeed incredibly powerful. But alas, do you think you can be invincible with it? How naive and arrogant! Once you understand its principles, this so-called invincible ninjutsu is no longer so mysterious. And I am precisely the one who has seen through everything!"
"During our fierce battles, I noticed that whenever we engaged in a life-or-death struggle, your sharp eyes would involuntarily and subconsciously glance at the Sharingan embedded in your right arm, silently counting the number of times it closed. And I saw all of this."
I only need to subtly and silently cast a genjutsu, cleverly interfering with your perception of reality. Through the power of the genjutsu, I make you mistakenly believe that one of your Sharingan eyes is still partially closed. In this way, when faced with this seemingly mutually destructive life-or-death struggle, you will unhesitatingly believe that as long as you survive this attack, the final victory will be yours. However, in reality, all the Sharingan eyes in your arm have already closed, but my genjutsu has successfully deceived your subconscious, making you firmly believe that there is still one left.
Otherwise, given your usual cautious nature, you would never have so recklessly engaged me in this final showdown, much less have resorted to such a desperate last-ditch effort, attempting to decide the outcome of this fierce battle! Moreover, even at the critical moment of life and death, you showed no intention of dodging whatsoever, willing to risk serious injury, or even annihilation, to deliver a heavy blow to me at all costs.”
Despite being covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, Uchiha Sasuke endured the excruciating pain and struggled to straighten his body. His face was expressionless, his eyes icy cold, and he spoke calmly, "Carry your deep remorse for the Uchiha clan and descend into endless hell! Before long, I will send all those from Konoha who participated in the night of the Uchiha clan's destruction to join you!" Before his words even finished, a chilling killing intent erupted from him, as if freezing the surrounding air.
