Chapter 117: Shock
Absolutely shocking.
Uchiha Itachi hadn't made a move until now—but once he did, it was overwhelming.
A complete-body Susanoo in Sage Mode was simply terrifying.
"How... how is that possible?"
Looking up at the colossal crimson warrior before him, Uchiha Fugaku was frozen in place, his face pale with horror—as if he'd seen a ghost.
Uchiha Itachi actually mastered Sage Mode?!
And not just that... this Sage Mode seemed eerily similar to the one used by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, during his legendary battle against the current Fifth Hokage.
It was incomprehensible...
"Fugaku, what's going on with Itachi?"
Clang!!!
Having just broken away from his duel with Loquat Shizashi, Hinata Hiashi retreated dozens of steps, his face grim.
"Wasn't the Kaleidoscope Sharingan supposed to have severe side effects?"
"I don't know..." Fugaku muttered, shaking his head. "Everything about him now is beyond what I can understand."
"He's transplanted the cells of the First Hokage."
A calm, cold voice interjected.
Uchiha Yuta appeared beside Fugaku, eyes narrowing slightly. "Right now, Uchiha Itachi possesses not only Hashirama's chakra but also the presence of White Zetsu within him."
Yuta's tone was composed, but even he looked surprised.
He hadn't expected Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito to go this far—to transplant both Hashirama's cells and White Zetsu into Itachi, and even teach him Sage Mode. Of course, White Zetsu's involvement meant only one thing: control.
"The First Hokage's cells?!"
Both Fugaku and Hiashi's expressions changed drastically.
No wonder...
No wonder Itachi could use Sage Mode. No wonder his Kaleidoscope Sharingan had seemingly limitless stamina.
"Wait... what's a White Zetsu? Isn't that just another type of cell?"
In the next moment, the two clan heads shared a bitter smile, realizing they were once again lost in a topic completely beyond them.
"Hahahaha..."
The only one amused was Loquat Shizashi of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
"Itachi... you really are incredible," he said with admiration. "Truly worthy of the Akatsuki."
"Noisy."
Yuta's eyes turned icy. In a blur of movement, he appeared before Loquat Shizashi, sword in hand—Cong Yun Blade—cutting downward with devastating force.
"What speed!"
Loquat's face went stiff. He quickly raised his Executioner's Blade to block.
Clang!!
Steel clashed, sending out a shockwave so intense it cracked the earth beneath Shizashi's feet.
"It's over..."
Shizashi's arms went numb instantly from the force.
"Cong Yun Blade: Shock!"
With no time to react, Yuta triggered the hidden power of his sword—white energy pulsed from the blade and surged across the Executioner's Blade.
Crack...
Visible cracks spread across the giant cleaver.
Then—
Shatter!
The Executioner's Blade broke apart like glass.
And in the next flash, Yuta's sword cleanly sliced through Loquat Shizashi's neck.
Bang...
His severed head hit the ground.
Even in death, the swordsman couldn't believe it.
A member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, killed in one blow. His legendary blade shattered. A humiliating, absolute defeat.

"Fifth Hokage..."
Inside the fully-formed crimson Susanoo, Uchiha Itachi stared down at Yuta with hatred in his eyes.
"Do you know how much I hate you?"
"Uchiha Itachi, enough nonsense..." Yuta's voice was calm. "You're a traitor to your clan and an S-rank criminal. And yet you dare to return to Konoha?"
"Why wouldn't I return?!"
Itachi's voice erupted in rage. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Bang...
Yuta couldn't help but laugh.
"So it's all my fault now?"
The absurdity of Itachi's words was almost amusing.
You allied with the Third Hokage, helped slaughter your own clan, murdered your parents—and now you play the victim?
Originally, Yuta had assumed Itachi was being manipulated by Black Zetsu or Obito.
Now, he saw the truth:
Itachi was simply broken. Brainwashed by the Will of Fire. Mentally unsalvageable.
"Yes... it's all your fault!"
With madness in his eyes, Itachi raised the Ten Fist Sword in his right hand.
"Today, I'll kill you, wipe out the Uchiha, and slaughter my 'foolish' parents again!"
"Hopeless..."
Yuta narrowed his eyes, unimpressed by the lunacy.
---
Vmmm!!
Suddenly—
With a massive surge of chakra and pupil force, Yuta's eyes turned into his own Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
In an instant, a massive blue Susanoo enveloped his body.
No more talking.
Today, he would destroy Uchiha Itachi completely.
