Chapter 385

Even if war does come,

it won't be a war within the ninja world,

but a war between their world and the Ōtsutsuki clan from beyond the starry sky!!!

"Itachi, who do you think is stronger—Madara Uchiha or Uzumaki Mito?"

"It looks like Madara Uchiha is very confident in his Sharingan…"

"Come to think of it, your Uchiha clan all seem to have this very unique confidence in these eyes…"

Deidara turned his head toward Itachi Uchiha and flashed a smile that meant no good.

He himself was no match for Itachi Uchiha,

so he could only try every which way with words to attack Itachi Uchiha!!

And this time, by running down Madara Uchiha's Sharingan,

he wanted to indirectly see the expression on Itachi Uchiha's face!!

But the way things developed left Deidara deeply disappointed,

for Itachi Uchiha's face was still that same poker face,

without the slightest expression.

His eyes were fixed tightly on what was happening on the black screen,

as if he hadn't heard a single word Deidara was saying.

"Tch… boring guy…"

After staring hard at Itachi Uchiha's face for ten seconds,

Deidara finally realized Itachi Uchiha had absolutely no intention of paying him any attention,

so he could only purse his lips helplessly!!!

He really hated that expression of Itachi Uchiha's,

yet there was nothing he could do about it,

after all, he had already suffered at Itachi Uchiha's hands more than once!!

Deidara knew that if he fought Itachi Uchiha,

he had no chance of winning at all!!

At least not right now,

so until there was a chance he could definitely beat Itachi Uchiha,

Deidara had no intention of lightly making a move against Itachi Uchiha!!!

After all, going one-sidedly looking to be abused isn't much fun either.

Itachi Uchiha's heart was actually full of confusion,

because everything happening on the black screen exceeded his understanding!!

Only now did he realize

that the world's development actually had another possible course.

From the moment he was born until he became conscious,

there had always been a question in Itachi Uchiha's heart:

What is a ninja?

And what is true peace?

To resolve this question in his heart,

he didn't even hesitate to become a double agent in Konoha,

on the one hand acting as a spy for his own father, Fugaku Uchiha,

and on the other hand helping Shimura Danzō infiltrate the Uchiha clan's interior!!

Selling the Uchiha clan's intelligence to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō,

and all of this was solely for the peace in his heart!!

And after Shisui Uchiha's death,

the pure land in Itachi Uchiha's heart completely collapsed,

and he realized that everything Shisui Uchiha had done before might have all been mistakes,

that to bring about change,

one had to pay some sacrifices!!

So he sold his own soul to Shimura Danzō,

willing to become a blade in Konoha's hand,

to help them wipe out the Uchiha clan!!!

All of this was solely for the peace in his heart!!

And now Itachi Uchiha saw yet another possible development of the world on the screen!!

So regarding the matters of that other world,

he didn't dare to let his attention wander in the slightest,

he hoped to gain something from the development of that other world,

to help him change his own world!!

……

"Hmph!! Uzumaki Mito…"

"I'm not Hashirama, so I won't show you any mercy!!"

"If I accidentally kill you in this battle, I hope you won't blame me—if you must blame someone, blame your own weakness!!"

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms,

his face brimming with arrogance as he said to Uzumaki Mizuko!!

"That's exactly what I wanted to say to you…"

"I'm not Hashirama, so in this battle I won't show you any mercy either!!"

"Hashirama's fight with you would only leave you half-dead, but I'm different—I'll beat you to death outright!!"

Uzumaki Mizuko stood opposite Madara Uchiha,

also grinning broadly as she spoke!!

And upon hearing him say that, Madara Uchiha

was so furious he didn't know how to respond.

His face darkened,

and he immediately formed hand seals with both hands,

holding them before his chest.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!!!"

With a low cry from Madara Uchiha,

his body leapt high into the air!!!

Four incomparably massive red fire dragons instantly appeared above, below, to the left, and to the right in the sky,

charging toward Uzumaki Mizuko below,

sealing off every bit of her space completely!!!

In an instant,

the originally azure sky immediately turned a blazing red!!

Even Uzumaki Ashina and Senju Butsuma, watching from far away, felt

a scorched sensation on the skin of their faces!!

One could well imagine

what tremendous pressure Uzumaki Mizuko, at the very center, was facing!!!

"So this is Madara Uchiha's power?"

"This guy… is truly terrifyingly strong!!!"

Uzumaki Ashina's face darkened as he gripped the railing before him,

watching Uzumaki Mizuko in the distance with a worried expression!!
