Naraku examined the nearby battlefield and directed the Nine Tails to swiftly eliminate the leftover Root ninja.
Additionally, some members from the Uchiha clan arrived to intervene, and the remaining Anbu could not endure for long.
Itachi's face was twisted as he proceeded towards Naraku.
Fugaku activated his Susanoo but barely managed to stop Itachi.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō were dead, and Anbu and Root had nearly been entirely annihilated.
The remaining Uchiha clan members likely also eliminated their families.
At this point, the only issue was Itachi.
After numerous clashes, the two Susanoos confronted each other, generating waves in their vicinity.
Itachi's Susanoo broke through Fugaku's defense and compelled him to retreat.
However, he refrained from continuing his attack and opted for Summoning.
"Summoning Crow."
A black crow manifested before him.
This crow was unique; its eyes were extraordinary, possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Are these Shisui's eyes? Is his other eye with you?" Fugaku was taken aback.
Itachi remained silent and merely stared into the eyes.
The crow's Mangekyō glimmered red, causing Itachi's expression to freeze.
"I see. That's it. Damn it, Danzo."
Itachi's mind became clearer.
When confronting Danzo, a portion of his thoughts and will had been altered.
The transfer seal he had placed was now activated, igniting his thoughts and will residing in the Mangekyō Sharingan and allowing him to reclaim his original desire: to alter his thoughts and will once more.
This was the initial step he took after grasping Shisui's capabilities.
It was intended to thwart Danzō, yet in dealing with others, he had not anticipated employing it in such an embarrassing scenario.
Itachi regained his composure, although his expression remained frosty.
Surveying the devastation around him, he was uncertain whether to feel joy or sorrow.
Fugaku spoke. "If you yield and acknowledge your error, you will be judged by the family."
Itachi responded, "It's futile. I am the one who caused turmoil in Konoha and fractured the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha. I cannot remain here any longer."
"So, don't attempt to stop me; simply allow me to conclude this."
His scarlet eyes blazed with intensity, reaching their peak.
The armor, the Yata Mirror, and even a large gourd by his side—a red sword was drawn from it.
Before Fugaku could react, he was struck, and in the second phase, his Susanoo could not withstand and was overturned.
"Naraku. Let me witness your true strength," Itachi declared as he charged towards him.
Naraku gazed at the towering Susanoo nearby and disdainfully shook his head.
"Your family can be sacrificed, but what about Konoha?"
"All clansmen, please evacuate first."
He had no desire to initiate the Susanoo battle and instead descended onto the Nine Tails.
In facing Itachi, he had his own strategies and methods to counter him.
Itachi was uncertain about the intentions of the opposing party.
The Nine Tails is formidable but is currently in a weakened state.
This massive creature concentrated its energy into a dark sphere.
"What are you planning?" Itachi gazed at the Tailed Beast Bomb with astonished eyes.
"Attack." As Naraku spoke, an energy ball was unleashed.
Striking in this area disregarded the lives of others, and everyone who failed to evacuate became a target.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was taken aback and hastily assumed a defensive stance.
"Ahhhh. You're insane."
Itachi appeared fierce, with blood continually streaming from his eyes. His Susanoo's armor was solidified, and its enormous shield swiftly covered a portion of the sky.
The Yata Mirror was an eight-foot mirror and a "spiritual weapon" possessing Nature Transformation abilities that alter its properties in response to attacks, neutralizing them. It is a highly advantageous ability Itachi acquired upon awakening the Susanoo.
In an instant, the Tailed Beast Bomb struck the Yata Mirror. Shortly thereafter, the Tailed Beast Bomb, which was expected to detonate, was gradually engulfed.
The energy did not disperse widely, but it evidently drained a significant amount of Itachi's strength and ocular power.
"Hahaha, so this is your best effort. Itachi, you truly embody the successor of the Will of Fire."
"But what will happen now?"
Following the assault, the massive form of the Nine Tails bore down on Itachi.
Itachi's Susanoo could not withstand the force of the massive impact, resulting in the shattering of its armor.
