My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 084

After devouring a large number of Parasitic Insects, the Parasitic Flame within your body became even more volatile. You absorbed blood to recover your consumed energy while simultaneously creating several more shadow clones.

Leaderless, the Root operatives were in disarray. Your shadow clones, using Earth Release, broke through the barriers from various points within Root’s underground complex, emerging and transforming into different appearances. They used various types of ninjutsu, such as Wind Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release, to impersonate different invaders and attack Root ninjas from all directions.

If they didn’t find opponents, these shadow clones would exhaust their chakra, causing massive damage to Root’s underground structures.

Under such an internal attack, Root instantly fell into chaos, unable to find a single person who could stand against you!

At this moment, your main body, carrying Danzo’s head, arrived at the core area of Root’s control room. You used Danzo’s head and the remaining chakra in your body to deceive the verification barrier, activating the mechanisms and large-scale barriers covering Root, thoroughly sealing off the place.

With the remaining Root ninjas, at most jounin-level individuals, it was impossible for them to escape!

Root’s structure, independent of Konoha, now became the catalyst for its own destruction.

However, while those inside Root couldn’t leave, it didn’t mean no one from outside would enter. Your actions still had the potential to be discovered at any moment.

But before that, you needed to suppress the rampaging Fire Release power within your body.

—It seemed to be a case of like attracting like. After burning Oil Ninja Ryoma and all his Parasitic Insects to ashes, the Parasitic Flame within your body devoured a significant amount of power belonging to the Parasitic Insects. The larger this power’s proportion, the weaker your control over the flame became!

Therefore, after being freed from the constraints of the Four Symbols Seal, the Parasitic Flame was continuously drawing massive amounts of chakra, and even life force, from your body.

Fortunately, as a result, your entire body was uncontrollably enveloped in emerald green flames, which ironically increased the speed at which you could absorb them into your blood using your nameless ocular jutsu!

Relying on the corpses continuously brought back by your shadow clones from outside, you constantly absorbed blood to recover your strength, resisting the consumption by the Parasitic Flame. At the same time, you continuously captured the flame particles that mistakenly entered your blood, reversely devouring the flame that was about to go out of control.

As the ninjas, researchers, and a large number of test subjects within Root were slaughtered by you, and you recovered by absorbing their blood, you gradually gained the upper hand in the struggle against the Parasitic Flame.

Finally, you successfully captured it, integrating all of it into your blood. You felt your entire body enveloped in a warm current, and chakra flowed ceaselessly, seemingly more abundant than ever before!

Flame Arm!

With a thought, an arm made of emerald green flames grew from your severed limb. Although it couldn’t pick up objects, it could be used for hand signs and even surprise attacks in close combat!

Whether it was a complete integration with the Parasitic Flame or the absorption of excessive blood, you felt that your strength seemed to have broken through a certain barrier, leaping into a whole new realm!

The time for slaughter had begun!

You strolled leisurely to the storage room, flicked out two sparks, easily killed the guarding ninjas, and effortlessly retrieved your weapons.

Afterward, you incinerated all your clones and the remaining Root ninjas, leaving behind only shriveled husks.

At this moment, having completely merged with the “Parasitic Flame,” you could burn opponents with the power of the flame without consuming chakra. Instead, you could convert their chakra into your own!

Combined with the ocular jutsu’s ability to absorb blood and strengthen yourself, it could be said that the more people there were, the stronger you became. Absorbing just a few people could replenish your chakra and health, and even slightly increase your permanent attributes!

You attached the Parasitic Flame to your body, forming a thin outer layer of chakra, easily penetrating Root’s impregnable barrier.

Furthermore, enveloped by this chakra cloak, your abundant chakra was completely hidden, just like a true Parasitic Insect—silent and undetectable.

Thus, you easily entered the sparsely populated Uchiha clan compound, like an invisible person under the very noses of the Konoha Barrier Team ninjas.

Uchiha Itachi, it’s time to collect the interest on the night of the massacre…

You put on a thick black cloak you conveniently grabbed from Root, covering the faintly glowing flame cloak on your body.

Under the cover of night, you silently infiltrated the center of the Uchiha clan compound. In your three-tomoe Sharingan’s vision, besides Sasuke, who had just finished dinner and was still active, there were only two jounin-level Anbu hidden near Sasuke for protection, plus three chunin-level Anbu on lookout outside.

The protection was very strict. The presence of two jounin, and within the village at that, was a level of security comparable to the Hokage himself. But in front of the current you, they didn’t even have the right to make a sound.

A gentle breeze passed, and the three Anbu scouts were instantly decapitated. Two shadow clones and you appeared in front of them, gently supporting them and placing them on the ground to prevent any noise.

Then, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, you absorbed all the blood from their bodies to prevent certain keen-nosed individuals from sniffing it out.

The next two jounin were very close together. It seemed you had to use a specific move. You threw two Wind Release shurikens, instantly cutting one in half at the waist. The other reacted but collided with you, who had瞬身 (Shunshin) over, and was then drained of chakra by the emerald green flames, turning into a dried corpse.

It’s your turn, Sasuke. Atone for your brother’s sins!

You swung your blade at the unsuspecting Sasuke. Unexpectedly, at that moment, you sensed an unknown power suddenly surge into Sasuke’s body, causing you, a battle-hardened killer, to hesitate for a brief moment.

The Uchiha bloodline within you was subjected to immense suppression in an instant!

If you hadn’t already absorbed the blood of countless people to strengthen your body, you would be spitting blood right now!

In the instant of your hesitation, Sasuke, who was originally lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, emitting an unknown red light. An unknown phantom appeared in his eye, which originally only had one tomoe.

Sasuke’s strength and speed instantly increased. A razor-sharp kunai stabbed towards your neck!

It was only then that the stinging pain in your neck brought you back to your senses.

You quickly dodged, used your ocular jutsu to stop the blood flowing from your cut neck, and swung your blade back at Sasuke.

Clang!

The ninja blade collided with the kunai. You were surprised that Sasuke could exert such strength, but the “Super Added-Weight Rock Technique” activated at that moment. No matter how great his strength, he couldn’t withstand the power you had amplified dozens of times.

Although Sasuke blocked your blade, he was sent flying by the immense force, crashing into the wall. Despite the incredible power contained within his young body, his defensive capabilities were still at a mortal level. He instantly fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Fire Release: Scorching Technique!

Where your eyes looked, the fire followed. For safety, you did not approach Sasuke but directly activated the “Parasitic Flame” on him to forcibly extract his chakra.

However, the time the Parasitic Flame burned on Sasuke far exceeded the limit of a jounin. This meant that his chakra reserves actually surpassed those of a jounin, and the chakra feedback you received was also extremely formidable.

Could it be Indra’s power?!

At this moment, a soul-piercing roar, transmitted through the chakra, directly impacted your spiritual world. You instantly collapsed to the ground, your spirit severely wounded, and you spat out a mouthful of dark blood.

Indeed, it was Indra’s will.

But I’m still superior! Hahahahaha!

You laughed wildly, struggling to your feet, and slowly walked to Sasuke’s side, grasping him firmly.

No matter how strong you were in life, after death, you are nothing but a lingering soul. Die for me!

Crack! Sasuke’s neck was snapped by the force of your grip. The flowing blood was continuously absorbed into your body.

The bloodline suppression that had made you feel as if you were in an ice cave finally dissipated.

You felt this blood was so sweet and delicious, and even your ocular power, which had long been stagnant, began to grow continuously…
