Chapter 290

Madara Uchiha didn't know either!!

In his view,

as a member of the Uchiha clan,

possessing the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan

was already the absolute peak their clan could reach!!

But the things Sasuke would have in the future,

he already had all of them,

and he was even stronger than future Sasuke!!

Whether in taijutsu, battle awareness, or any other aspect,

he was one level stronger than future Sasuke,

so he was now extremely curious!!

What hidden cards did future Sasuke still not have used?!

And it seemed precisely those hidden cards he hadn't used,

gave him tremendous confidence,

left him with a sliver of hope in this battle,

made him believe he could defeat himself!

……

The Akatsuki,

as Deidara stared intently at Itachi Uchiha,

he laughed and said.

"Itachi… I never expected your younger brother could have lived so long without a scratch?"

"Then, has he completed his revenge yet?"

"And who took away his missing left arm?"

"It wasn't you two fighting to the death, and he killed you, and you took his left arm just before you died, was it…?"

Deidara stared tightly at Itachi Uchiha's face,

trying to read something from it.

But Itachi Uchiha's expression didn't change at all!!

He still wore the same blank expression!!

After hearing Deidara say this,

Itachi Uchiha turned his head and gave him a cold glance.

Seeing this,

Deidara decided to add more fuel.

"Oh my, after all, the Uchiha clan is down to just the two of you…"

"I'm also very curious which of you two brothers has the stronger, weaker Sharingan…"

"I truly hope I get the chance to watch you two brothers fight to the death…"

Deidara currently had no confidence in defeating Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan,

so he could only try to gain some verbal advantage!!

He also hoped Itachi Uchiha would show anger or rage.

But no matter how much he provoked Itachi Uchiha with words,

Itachi Uchiha's expression remained as lifeless as a corpse!

After saying a few more lines,

Deidara himself lost interest.

After all,

who would bother trying to anger a rock?!

But when he finally realized it,

he discovered Itachi Uchiha had already appeared right before him without a sound!!

Seeing the kunai at his throat,

a bead of cold sweat rolled down Deidara's forehead.

When?!

He looked at Itachi Uchiha in shock and fury,

he never imagined,

that Itachi Uchiha had silently approached him!

This meant,

if he wanted to take Deidara's life, he could do it anytime, anywhere?

This realization filled Deidara with rage!!

If he hadn't defected from the Iwa Village,

he might now be the Tsuchikage's successor!!

Since childhood,

Deidara had never feared anyone,

not even Tsuchikage Omoi had ever made him feel this way!!

But since meeting Itachi Uchiha,

Deidara had been humiliated by him time and again!!

And just now,

Deidara believed,

if he continued speaking,

death would surely be his fate!!

So for the sake of his own life,

he no longer dared to say anything to provoke Itachi Uchiha!!

Deidara was not afraid of death,

but he did not wish to throw away his life so pointlessly!!

To Deidara,

even if he died, he should drag Itachi Uchiha down to hell with him,

let him witness what true explosive art was!!

Seeing Itachi Uchiha's movements,

the other members of the Akatsuki cast suspicious glances between him and Deidara!!

Though they were all members of the same organization,

that did not mean they were friends!!!

So if they saw Itachi Uchiha and Deidara fighting,

they would gladly watch the show!!

When Nagato saw this scene,

his face showed not the slightest surprise!!

He had long known,

that Itachi Uchiha's joining the Akatsuki was not as simple as he claimed,

he had harbored ill intentions from the moment he entered!!

But to Nagato,

this mattered not at all!

As long as Itachi Uchiha worked for their Akatsuki,

capturing the remaining Tailed Beasts was all that mattered!!

As for anything else, in Nagato's view, it was utterly irrelevant!

These members of the Akatsuki,
