Stop trying to be mysterious!
Terumi Mei shouted coldly, her body enveloped in water vapor.
Obito suppressed his laughter and glanced at the five Kage who were standing ready.
Finally, the light fell upon the silent, ominous statue of the heretic.
The voice came through the mask, carrying a condescending disdain:
"Your declaration of victory is premature."
"My plan...is far from a failure! As long as this remains—"
He pointed to the enormous statue of the heretic.
"With the Gedo Mazo possessing the combined chakra of the seven tailed beasts, the Eye of the Moon Plan can still continue!"
"And you... are destined to be nothing more than stumbling blocks on the road to the new world!"
Meanwhile, deep underground, in the hidden lair of Yakushi Kabuto.
The dark, damp cave was filled with the strong smell of herbs and the distinctive stench of snakes.
Kabuto pushed up his round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose with some annoyance.
Looking at the two empty chess pieces in front of him, which were originally used to represent Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha's Edo Tensei forms.
The chess piece had already shattered, which made his face darken.
"I miscalculated... I didn't expect that Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju's Edo Tensei bodies would be sealed... I've lost two of my most important pieces all at once..."
He muttered to himself, and the fused white snake in his abdomen seemed to sense his anxiety, wriggling uneasily: "What should we do next? We must find a way to turn the situation around..."
However, before he could come up with a new solution—
"boom!!!!!!!"
A loud bang suddenly came from above his head!
The solid rock ceiling was forcibly pierced through by a terrifying force, as if it were made of paper!
Countless pebbles mixed with dust fell down!
Immediately following, a gigantic, rapidly spinning auger made of emerald green chakra appeared.
They drilled straight through the rock strata, creating a vertical passage leading directly to the ground!
Two figures, like ghosts, moved one in front of the other.
She leaped lightly from the newly opened passage and landed steadily in front of Dou.
Both were wearing the standard green vests of Konoha Jonin, and had "ninja" swastikas on their foreheads, symbolizing the Allied Shinobi Forces.
One person had a gentle face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and there was a faint, indifferent smile on his lips.
The other person had a cold expression, long black hair that fell to his shoulders, and scarlet eyes that contained a chilling killing intent and determination.
It was Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi who had tracked them down!
Upon seeing these two uninvited guests, Kabuto Yakushi's face did not show much surprise or panic.
Instead, it felt like meeting a long-lost "old friend".
He even habitually adjusted his glasses and greeted us in a hoarse voice filled with feigned enthusiasm:
"Oh my goodness... this is truly a rare guest."
"I never expected that even though I hid so well, the two of you still found me."
"As expected of Konoha's Uchiha elites."
His tone was eerily calm, as if he had expected this moment.
The moment Shisui's eyes met Kabuto's, his pair of emerald green Mangekyou Sharingan were activated silently!
Without any hand seals or warning, the most powerful illusion, like an invisible spider web, was already enveloping Kabuto.
He planned to finish the job quickly and directly control the source of the danger with illusion magic!
However, faced with Shisui's unexpected and unpredictable illusion attack, Kabuto merely raised his head slightly.
Behind the lenses were his eyes, which should have been exposed.
At some point, a strange, jet-black substance, resembling a snake's eye membrane, covered the pupils and whites of the eyes, completely obscuring them!
Shisui's invincible illusion magic vanished the moment it touched this dark eye membrane, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Not a ripple was stirred! The pocket remained completely unaffected!
"Hmph, 'Body Flicker Technique' Shisui, a genjutsu genius that appears only once every hundred years in the Uchiha clan..."
He adjusted his glasses, his tone carrying a hint of prepared mockery: "How could I possibly be foolish enough to expose my vision to your Sharingan when facing you?"
"This specially made 'snake-like membrane' was prepared to guard against your illusions."
"Tsk! Trouble!"
Shisui's attack failed, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he drew the short sword from his back: "Looks like I have no choice but to fight head-on! Itachi!"
At almost the same time, Itachi Uchiha drew his long sword.
Those newly awakened Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, whose patterns were still somewhat immature.
At this moment, all of his killing intent and attention were firmly locked onto Kabuto Yakushi.
He knew he wasn't as skilled with eye techniques as Shisui, but his mission was equally clear.
Support, restrain, and deliver the fatal blow at the crucial moment!
Chapter 474 Uchiha VS Sage Kabuto
Inside the underground cave, the atmosphere was as still as iron.
The chilling murderous intent mingled with the damp, musty smell, stimulating everyone's nerves.
Faced with the combined attack of two Uchiha elites, Kabuto not only did not back down, but instead broke the silence first!
His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, while the large white-scaled snake on his abdomen wriggled in sync, emanating a dangerous aura.
"Immortal Technique: The Technique of Baiji!"
A transparent dragon of light, composed of Sage Chakra, spewed from his mouth, instantly spiraling and shrinking into a single point in the air!
"Watch out! Cover your ears and close your eyes!"
Shisui immediately realized that this was the technique Nagato had mentioned.
He quickly shouted, while simultaneously closing his eyes, covering his ears, and retreating rapidly!
Itachi reacted just as quickly, almost instinctively closing his eyes and rolling to the side!
"Buzz————————!!!"
An indescribable, terrifying high-frequency noise and an extremely bright light capable of causing blindness erupted simultaneously!
The entire underground cavern trembled violently, and rubble fell down in a shower!
Even though they had closed their eyes beforehand, the intense light that pierced their eyelids still made their vision appear blood red.
The eardrums felt like they were being pricked with needles, and the sense of balance was instantly lost!
In that precious moment when their senses were being deprived, it all came together!
His body slid rapidly along the ground like a boneless snake.
A razor-sharp chakra scalpel had already materialized in his hand, aimed directly at Uchiha Itachi, who had temporarily lost his ability to defend himself!
He could tell that Itachi's use of the Mangekyou Sharingan was not yet proficient, making him a better target for breakthrough!
Although Shisui's vision and hearing were obstructed, his rich combat experience and powerful senses still allowed him to detect the subtle flow of chakra and killing intent!
He suppressed his dizziness and, relying on his memory and senses, threw the short knife in his hand forward with all his might!
It wasn't aimed at Kabuto, but at the ground in front of Itachi!
The short knife plunged into the ground, blocking Dou's sliding path and forcing him to change direction.
In that brief delay, Itachi, through sheer willpower, managed to regain some balance.
The long sword in his hand, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, pierced towards Kabuto's throat!
"Hmph! A little trick!"
Kabuto sneered, twisting his body at an incredible angle to easily avoid the kunai.
At the same time, his other hand, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, went straight for the weasel's heart!
"Fire Release: The Art of Fire Dragon!"
Just then, Shisui had barely regained some of his vision.
Without hesitation, he formed a hand seal, and a blazing fire dragon spewed from his mouth, roaring as it charged toward Kabuto's back, forcing him to retreat and defend!
Kabuto had no choice but to abandon his fatal blow to Itachi, and instead slammed his hands on the ground:
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"
A thick earthen wall rose up, blocking the fire dragon's impact.
The battle reached a fever pitch from the very beginning!
A clash between taijutsu and ninjutsu
Shisui and Itachi exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's intentions.
If illusions don't work, then use the most basic taijutsu and ninjutsu to force out the opponent's weaknesses!
"Whizzing!"
The two figures, like ghostly shadows, rushed towards Dou at an astonishing speed, one on the left and one on the right.
Shisui's short sword was like a green fang, each swing was cunning and ruthless, aimed directly at joints and vital points;
Itachi's longsword and shuriken were like a black gale, dense and precise, sealing off all of Kabuto's room to dodge.
Faced with the combined taijutsu attack of the two Uchiha geniuses, Kabuto displayed the strangeness and difficulty he had after absorbing Orochimaru and many of his subordinates' abilities.
