The Three-Tomoe Sharingan is invincible against normal Genin and Chunin.

Only after reaching the strength of a Jonin can one contend with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, but even then, it’s not easy.

Hozuki Castle is a prison and doesn’t have many strong individuals; even Jonins are few and far between.

The entire operation of Hozuki Castle actually relies on its warden, Mui. His Fire Release: Heavenly Prison is a mobile cell for detaining prisoners.

“Kitazawa-sama.” After boarding the boat, Itachi proactively spoke, “I’ll take the Anbu to control Hozuki Castle first.”

“Alright.” Kitazawa nodded and said.

The only Ninja in Hozuki Castle truly worthy of his attention was Mui, but Mui’s strength was very limited, making it hard for Kitazawa to fully exert himself.

Furthermore, with so many Anbu accompanying him, there was no need for him to act personally.

He was, after all, a Konoha high-ranking official now, and many tasks could be delegated to his subordinates.

Itachi disappeared from his original spot.

“Let’s go.” Kitazawa looked towards Hozuki Castle in the distance, its outline faintly visible.

“Sasuke!” Naruto picked up an oar and said, “Let’s see who can row faster!”

“Idiot.” Sasuke glanced at him and said, “Rowing depends on coordination, not on who rows faster.”

“Is that so?” Naruto scratched his head, then gave a thumbs-up and said, “Then let’s unleash our youthful bond and row together!”

“…” Sasuke couldn’t be bothered with him.

The small boat slowly made its way towards the isolated island where Hozuki Castle was located, propelled by their combined rowing.

Time slowly passed. Approximately ten minutes later, they arrived at Hozuki Castle.

The jailers who had been on the shore were all lying on the ground, replaced by four Konoha Anbu.

“Kitazawa-sama.” The four ANBU Ninja bowed in greeting.

“Where’s Itachi?” Kitazawa disembarked from the boat and casually asked.

“Itachi-sama is in the Hozuki Castle main hall; he just finished his battle with Mui.” One of the ANBU Ninja replied.

“Let’s go to the Hozuki Castle main hall.” Kitazawa nodded and led Hinata and the others up the stone steps.

From an architectural perspective alone, Hozuki Castle resembled an ancient city, just not as vast in area.

“Kitazawa-sama.” Upon seeing Kitazawa, Itachi proactively went to greet him.

“You did well.” Kitazawa smiled, his gaze falling upon the young man tied up in the Hozuki Castle main hall.

“He is Mui, the warden of Hozuki Castle.” Itachi introduced him.

“Mm.” Kitazawa walked up to him.

“Your Konoha Village attacking Hozuki Castle violates the rules set by the major Ninja Villages.” Although Mui was now a prisoner, he remained remarkably calm.

“You were the first to break the rules.” Kitazawa said unhurriedly, “You used Konoha Village prisoners to feed the Box of Ultimate Bliss.”

“You… how did you…?” Mui’s face instantly changed color, and sweat seeped from his forehead.

When he was captured, he remained expressionless and fearless. But when the Box of Ultimate Bliss was mentioned, he couldn’t stay calm.

He wasn’t afraid of this matter being discovered; he was afraid that Konoha Village would seize the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

After all, the Box of Ultimate Bliss was his lifelong obsession and effort, and now it was the only way to save his son, Muku.

Now he only hoped that Kitazawa and the others wouldn’t find the Box of Ultimate Bliss. If so, he could still survive and negotiate with them.

“Kitazawa-sama.” Itachi spoke at the opportune moment, “The Box of Ultimate Bliss has been found, but it cannot be moved for now. Please go there yourself.”

“How is that possible?” Mui’s eyes widened.

The location of the Box of Ultimate Bliss was extremely hidden; only he in the entire Kusagakure knew about it.

“Take me there.” Kitazawa no longer paid attention to Mui. Led by Itachi, they arrived at an underground hall.

In the dim underground hall, a huge, gloomy-looking box was placed.

It was pitch black all over, with four faces carved on its four sides, each displaying expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

“Is this the Box of Ultimate Bliss?” Sasuke examined it for a moment and asked curiously, “Then how does it grant wishes?”

“It hasn’t been opened yet.” Kitazawa stepped forward, picked up his chakra blade Zangetsu, and struck it.

A deafening metallic clang rang out. The Box of Ultimate Bliss remained motionless, with no cracks appearing on it, not even a mark.

“As expected, it’s very hard.” Kitazawa nodded, put away Zangetsu, and then extended his hand.

Chakra surged out, circling the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

He discovered the formula of an unknown Sealing Technique. Opening the Box of Ultimate Bliss required not only a massive amount of Chakra but also a specific formula performed by five people simultaneously.

Kitazawa had originally thought about whether he could unlock it with his knowledge of Sealing Technique, but now it seemed virtually impossible.

After all, trying to decipher an unknown Sealing Technique would be too time-consuming.

“Itachi.” Kitazawa withdrew his hand and said, “Opening the Box of Ultimate Bliss requires a specific formula.”

“I understand. I’ll go ask Mui now.” Itachi turned and left.

Kitazawa wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t be able to extract the information.

The Mangekyo Sharingan was the best interrogation tool; it was no exaggeration to say it was more efficient than the entire Konoha Interrogation Department.

“Kitazawa-sensei, does this S-Rank Mission only require us to make a wish?” Naruto couldn’t help but ask during the waiting period.

He had expected an S-Rank Mission to provide him with thrilling combat, but so far, he hadn’t encountered any fighting.

Sasuke and Hyuga Neji also looked at Kitazawa.

After Naruto’s question, they too realized the issue. This S-Rank Mission seemed too simple.

“Of course, it’s not just about making a wish.” Kitazawa shook his head and replied, “Don’t be impatient; you’ll have something to do very soon.”

Although the three were still very confused, since Kitazawa had said so, they didn’t ask any more questions.

Less than five minutes later, Itachi reappeared. He took out a scroll and handed it to Kitazawa.

“Kitazawa-sama, according to Mui, he and the four elders of Kusagakure each possess a part of the formula.” Itachi explained, “This is the formula that Mui possesses.”

Kitazawa secretly thought, As expected.

He opened the scroll and glanced at it. With his proficiency in Sealing Technique, he easily saw that this formula was incomplete.

It seemed he still had to make a trip to Kusagakure to obtain the other formulas from the four elders of Kusagakure.

No, it wouldn’t be that troublesome.

“Itachi.” Kitazawa looked at Itachi and said, “Take the Anbu to Kusagakure to collect the other formulas.”

“Yes, Kitazawa-sama,” Itachi said with a normal expression.

For others, this matter would be very troublesome. After all, they would have to deal with four Jonin and extract the specific formulas from them.

But in front of the Mangekyo Sharingan, it was something that could be handled with just a glance.

Itachi left again. This time, going to Kusagakure would take even longer.

Kitazawa, bored, began to study the Box of Ultimate Bliss. He placed his hand on it, and Chakra surged out.

But this time, it wasn’t just a superficial scan; it was a penetration into the interior of the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

Kitazawa immediately felt a powerful suction force, greedily absorbing his Chakra.

“Born of Satori, moved by Satori, ended by Satori. Make a wish, and you shall have everything!” At the same time, a deep and seductive voice echoed in his mind.

Kitazawa, without changing his expression, cut off the Chakra input and retreated two steps.

The Box of Ultimate Bliss trembled violently, then fell silent.

It was not in an activated state now, so it didn’t have the ability to directly suck him in. Even if it were in an activated state, Kitazawa could instantly distance himself, avoiding the same fate as Mui.

“Kitazawa-sensei?” Hinata noticed his movements and instinctively asked.

“Hinata.” Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and said, “Use your Byakugan to look at the Box of Ultimate Bliss.”

Upon hearing this, Hinata immediately activated her Byakugan and looked at the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

She couldn’t help but be startled and said, “Inside it is an extremely dense, gloomy Chakra.”

Kitazawa nodded; it was pretty much what he had expected.

If Chakra felt gloomy to someone, it was most likely Yin Release Chakra. Only in such an environment could “Satori” be born.

From the current situation, the Box of Ultimate Bliss basically aligned with his hypothesis. Crafting two Yin Release bows and having Satori create Yin Release arrows should both be possible.

The only problem was the excessive hardness of the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Whether it was dismantling it into raw materials or forging it into bows, it was a headache-inducing task.

Fortunately, Kitazawa was now a Konoha high-ranking official. He could gather all the blacksmiths or Ninja tool manufacturers in Konoha Village to come and brainstorm solutions together.

After exploring the Box of Ultimate Bliss, Kitazawa opened the scroll and began to learn its activation formula.

This formula wasn’t too difficult because it was only one-fifth of the complete formula, and its effects were relatively simple and limited.

An hour later, Itachi successfully completed the mission and brought back four formula scrolls.

Kitazawa read all of them and found them to be similar to the formula Mui had provided, with minor variations. Learning them wasn’t difficult either, taking at most half an hour.

Although it was said that five people were needed to open it, theoretically, as long as there was enough Chakra, five Shadow Clones could achieve the same effect.

“Itachi, have the ANBU Ninja use Earth Release to move the Box of Ultimate Bliss, along with this section of ground, to the open space outside,” Kitazawa instructed.

He had just checked, and the Box of Ultimate Bliss was not connected to the ground. It was just too heavy, which was why Itachi couldn’t move it earlier.

But with Earth Release, it shouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, fighting in an underground hall was really not suitable.

Furthermore, this was the basement of Hozuki Castle, and above it was a prison holding inmates.

If Satori were released, its size would surely destroy the entire Hozuki Castle, and then the prisoners escaping would also be a troublesome matter.

“Yes, Kitazawa-sama.” Itachi immediately responded.

Kitazawa, meanwhile, led Hinata and the others outside first.

While they were moving the Box of Ultimate Bliss, he continued to learn the activation formula.

The Box of Ultimate Bliss was quickly moved outside Hozuki Castle to an open space adjacent to the sea.

“Opening the Box of Ultimate Bliss requires a lot of Chakra; all of you will inject your Chakra into it later.”

Half an hour later, Kitazawa had learned the activation formula for the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

“Yes, Kitazawa-sama.” The ANBU Ninja appeared one after another; apart from four still outside Hozuki Castle, the remaining twenty-four were all present.

Kitazawa formed hand signs and created four Shadow Clones. He glanced left and right, then suddenly thought of Samehada.

Samehada could absorb Chakra and also transfer the absorbed Chakra to its wielder. But ever since it followed Naruto, it only took in and never gave out.

After all, Naruto almost never ran out of Chakra, so he didn’t need Samehada to replenish it.

“Naruto, give me Samehada,” Kitazawa said.

Naruto immediately took out a summoning scroll and summoned Samehada.

As soon as Samehada appeared, it ran to rub against him. Naruto grabbed its hilt and handed it to Kitazawa.

“Later, you will pour all the Chakras within you into the Box of Ultimate Bliss.” Kitazawa placed Samehada on the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

“…?” The excited Samehada instantly froze.

“Prepare!” Kitazawa and the four Shadow Clones simultaneously formed hand signs.

In an instant, a large number of patterned curse seals appeared on the surface of the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

A dark aura surged out, completely enveloping the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

In a brief moment, the Box of Ultimate Bliss seemed like a monster from the darkness opening its mouth.

“Inject Chakra!” Kitazawa shouted upon noticing this.

The nearby ANBU Ninja all raised their hands, and Chakra flowed into the Box of Ultimate Bliss like water. Samehada reluctantly opened its mouth, and a massive Chakra poured out.

The Box of Ultimate Bliss suddenly trembled. The aura around it grew even thicker and spread in all directions, stirring up gusts of Yin wind.

Everyone felt unease and gloom in their hearts.

“Step back!” Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, “But don’t stop the Chakra output.”

The ANBU Ninja immediately distanced themselves from the Box of Ultimate Bliss. Kitazawa and Itachi did not, remaining in their original positions.

Fortunately, the aura emanating from the Box of Ultimate Bliss had no other problems apart from slightly affecting emotions.

With a bang! The Box of Ultimate Bliss erupted with intense Chakra fluctuations. This Chakra was visible to the naked eye, appearing black.

Then came another roar, and all the faces on the Box of Ultimate Bliss opened their mouths.

Though called mouths, they were actually narrow passages filled with extremely dense Yin Release Chakra, appearing entirely black.

Kitazawa grabbed Samehada and threw it to Naruto. Naruto quickly caught it.

At this moment, Samehada had visibly thinned a whole size, and after returning to Naruto’s hand, it looked at him pitifully.

It had suffered a huge loss this time, as all the Chakra it had accumulated before were completely used up.

Naruto scratched his head and transferred his Chakra to it. Samehada immediately became energetic and even swayed its body.

So delicious! The entire sword felt comfortable, and the unpleasantness of losing Chakra vanished without a trace.

“Born of Satori, moved by Satori, ended by Satori, make a wish, and you shall have everything!”

After the Box of Ultimate Bliss opened, this sentence, which had been in Kitazawa’s mind, directly spread throughout the entire isolated island.

The ANBU Ninja looked at each other, unsure if this statement was true or false. But they were all rigorously trained, and they didn’t rush to seize this so-called Box of Ultimate Bliss because of this statement.

“Can it really grant wishes?” Sasuke looked at the dark, ominous Box of Ultimate Bliss and couldn’t help but ask.

“It looks very evil.” Neji shook his head and said.

“I suddenly don’t feel like making a wish anymore.” Naruto instinctively felt resistance.

“Sasuke, come and make a wish,” Kitazawa said after confirming that the Box of Ultimate Bliss had opened.

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then walked between him and Itachi. He subconsciously looked at Itachi.

“With me and Lord Kitazawa here, you’ll be fine.” Itachi patted his head and said.

“I wish to awaken my Three-Tomoe Sharingan!” Sasuke shouted loudly upon hearing this.

Although this Box of Ultimate Bliss was very strange, since both Kitazawa and Itachi said it could grant wishes, he believed them.

“As you wish!” The Box of Ultimate Bliss responded.

Endless black Chakra surged from its body, covering Sasuke as if alive.

Itachi immediately activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan. He took a look and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

A faint, unusual aura could be detected within this black Chakra. He thought of the Yin Release monster, Satori, that Kitazawa had mentioned.

Itachi did not stop it. Judging by the intensity he perceived, it did not exceed his Mangekyo Sharingan and was still within a manageable range.

Sasuke subconsciously pressed his forehead. Those immense Yin Release powers were frantically pouring into his eyes.

A crimson flash appeared. His Two-Tomoe Sharingan automatically activated, and both the left and right tomoe trembled violently.

Until a certain moment, the third tomoe appeared.

Sasuke’s body trembled, feeling a surge of power within him. He subconsciously clenched his fists, feeling incredibly powerful.

Chidori! Sasuke extended his right hand, black lightning spread, and the piercing chirping of birds rang out.

He looked at the Chidori, which was a size larger than before, and couldn’t help but smile.

“Hahaha! Is this the Three-Tomoe Sharingan? I see it, I see everything!” Sasuke dispelled the Chidori and suddenly burst into wild laughter.

“Sasuke, he doesn’t seem right.” Neji’s gaze sharpened as he spoke.

“His wild laughter isn’t as full of youth as before.” Naruto watched for a while, then said seriously.

“…” Neji’s mouth twitched. Is that the problem?

“Sasuke, how do you feel?” Itachi asked.

“Brother, I feel better than ever before!” Sasuke took a deep breath, looked at Naruto, and said, “Naruto, let’s fight again!”

Naruto looked at Kitazawa. Because the Sasuke in front of him was truly unlike his former self.

“You fight him.” Kitazawa nodded and said.

“Be careful, Sasuke.” Naruto walked in front of Sasuke.

“Hmph, you simply don’t understand how powerful the Three-Tomoe Sharingan is!” Sasuke felt the terrifying power within him, raised a finger, and said, “To defeat you, I only need one Ninjutsu!”

“Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!” Naruto shouted, creating hundreds of Shadow Clones.

“Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu is useless against me now.” Sasuke immediately formed hand signs.

Chidori Current!

Black lightning spread out from him as the center. Layer upon layer, like rolling waves, completely engulfed Naruto’s Shadow Clones.

“What?!” Naruto quickly retreated.

Screams rang out. His hundreds of Shadow Clones were all destroyed by the lightning in an instant.

“How is this possible?” Hyuga Neji’s pupils widened in shock.

“Sasuke’s Chakra seems to be much greater than before!” Hinata activated her Byakugan, speaking with surprise.

“Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!” After avoiding the lightning, Naruto formed hand signs again.

Hundreds of Shadow Clones immediately split into two rows.

“Wind Release: Gale Palm!” The Shadow Clones in the first row clapped their hands, creating a storm.

The sky-filled wind, with an unparalleled momentum, swept out.

“Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken!” The Shadow Clones in the second row formed hand signs and threw shuriken one after another.

The shuriken were enveloped in Wind Release Chakra, becoming like sharp blades. With the aid of Wind Release: Gale Palm, they flew out at an extremely fast speed.

“Meaningless actions!” Sasuke gripped the Sword of the Thunder God and charged towards Naruto.

Brilliant lightning instantly erupted, enveloping him. He easily dodged the sky-filled shuriken.

The storm blew against him, but was blocked by the lightning on his body.

Sasuke dashed into Naruto’s Shadow Clones. The Sword of the Thunder God in his hand glowed brightly, and the black lightning surged around like venomous snakes.

Bang, bang, bang!

Naruto’s Shadow Clones all turned into smoke.

“Naruto!” Sasuke shouted sharply, “You are so vulnerable now!”

Naruto’s breathing hitched, feeling unprecedented pressure. He stared at Sasuke and shouted, “You’re not Sasuke!”

“If I’m not Sasuke, who is Sasuke?” Sasuke’s face broke into a brilliant smile, and he asked, “What? Are you also having a day where you can’t stand to lose?”

“Naruto, you step back, I’ll handle this.” Itachi flashed and stood in front of Naruto.

He had already seen the problem. The current Sasuke was definitely not as simple as just having activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

More accurately, he wasn’t Sasuke; Satori was controlling him.

“Brother, are you going to fight me?” Sasuke looked at him, saying with great confidence, “Even you, Brother, I can defeat now!”

“You are not Sasuke,” Itachi said definitively.

“Brother, are you afraid of being defeated by your dear younger brother?” Sasuke’s mouth twisted as he asked.

“…” Itachi remained silent and raised his hand.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! He tilted his head back and spat out a giant fireball.

Sasuke easily dodged it, then flashed in front of Itachi. He gripped the Sword of the Thunder God and slashed down without hesitation.

Itachi transformed into crows and disappeared from his spot.

A scorching aura permeated the air. Sasuke turned his head and saw countless fireballs blossoming like a flower.

And he was at the center of the flower, with fireballs assailing him from all directions.

Sasuke dodged each one.

“Something’s wrong.” Itachi frowned slightly.

Under normal circumstances, a Three-Tomoe Sharingan shouldn’t be able to dodge his Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Crimson Claw so easily.

Is it Satori’s ability? The scene of Sasuke dodging Naruto’s sky-filled Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken earlier flashed through Itachi’s mind.

Given such speed and density, it shouldn’t have been so simple. Satori is a Yin Release monster, so its abilities must be related to Yin Release.

Emotions? Itachi felt he had grasped a clue.

A piercing bird-chirping sound rang out.

Chidori Senbon! Sasuke flicked his left hand, and the lightning transformed into countless senbon.

Crow Clone Jutsu! Itachi once again transformed into a large flock of crows.

One of the crows flew forward.

With a boom! The crow suddenly exploded in mid-air, completely engulfing the senbon formed by lightning.

Sasuke subconsciously looked around. The next second, his mouth curled into a smile, and he immediately turned around.

“Any of your actions are…” Sasuke hadn’t finished speaking when he met Itachi’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique! Itachi’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan suddenly pulsed.

An invisible mental wave assailed Sasuke. Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique was precisely the Genjutsu that instantly controlled Orochimaru in the original story.

Sasuke fell into a daze. But only for an instant—he returned to normal, and without hesitation, he stabbed the sword towards Itachi’s heart.

“It’s as I thought.” Itachi retreated, avoiding his attack.

Under normal circumstances, Sasuke wouldn’t be able to dispel his Genjutsu instantly unless he was a Jinchuriki or a similar existence.

In other words, Satori was inside Sasuke’s body.

Besides that, he also proved one thing: Satori has the ability to read emotions.

As long as an attacking emotion is displayed, Satori can sense it in advance and dodge it. The only way is to be free of desires—showing no emotions—only then can Satori be attacked.

Tsukuyomi!

Itachi’s eyes immediately changed. The three tomoe on both sides rapidly spun and twisted together, forming a pattern resembling a triangular shuriken.

If Konoha Village were still led by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, he would not expose his Mangekyo Sharingan so easily.

But now, with Tsunade and Kitazawa at the helm, things were different.

Sasuke immediately froze in place. The Satori inside him was about to help him break free from the genjutsu when suddenly that gloomy Chakra rushed towards it.

Satori sensed danger. It abandoned Sasuke without hesitation and fled outward.

Sasuke let out a sudden shriek. Black Chakra emerged from his body like thick smoke, flying into the air.

The wind howled.

A pair of huge, black, chicken-wing-like wings spread open, and its owner was a grotesque monster covered in coarse black fur.

This was Satori.

It possessed a massive body, but its proportions were extremely imbalanced. No head—more accurately, its head and abdomen were fused.

Wings extended from the back of its head; its slender body contrasted with its massive arms and legs.

Itachi quickly ran to Sasuke’s side. After a quick check, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasuke had only fainted from having too much Chakra extracted, and his body was not seriously harmed.

More precisely, he had returned to normal—especially with his powerful aura dropping significantly.

Simply put, he had fallen from Jonin back to Chunin.

“Roar!” Satori opened its mouth wide in mid-air.

Black Chakra poured down like a waterfall, targeting Itachi and Sasuke.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall! Kitazawa formed hand seals, and a wall of water blocked their path.

Itachi reacted, picked up Sasuke, and ran off.

With a bang! The water wall shattered, and the black Chakra curved, heading towards Kitazawa.

Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere!

Kitazawa leaned back and spewed out a giant wind ball. The wind ball compressed and then exploded, blowing away all the black Chakra.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique! Kitazawa casually flicked his wrist, aiming at the Satori in mid-air.

“It…” Itachi handed Sasuke over to Naruto and the others, about to warn them about Satori’s abilities, but suddenly stopped.

The dense shuriken hit Satori.

Although Satori flapped its wings, trying to avoid them at high speed, it still failed.

Itachi couldn’t help but be startled. However, he quickly felt relieved—if he could discover Satori’s abilities, Kitazawa naturally could too.

Satori roared. A large number of shuriken landed on its body, causing it pain. But besides that, they had no other effect.

“Its defense is very strong.” Itachi flashed to Kitazawa’s side.

“Satori is a Yin Release creation; theoretically, it’s immortal and indestructible,” Kitazawa said, forming hand seals.

Water Release: Water Severing Wave!

Chakra condensed to its extreme, spewing from his mouth. A high-pressure water stream, like an infinitely extending spear, pierced through Satori’s wing.

But this was not the end; the water stream transformed into the sharpest water blade and cut downwards.

Its wing was suddenly severed, falling to the ground. An incomparably mournful shriek rang out.

Even for Satori, having half a wing cut off was an unbearable, severe injury. Moreover, after losing half a wing, it could no longer fly and fell directly to the ground.

“…?” Itachi’s expression froze.

He had just said Satori’s defense was strong, and Kitazawa immediately cut off its wing. It truly caught him off guard.

What kind of Water Release was this? How could it possess such terrifying cutting power? Itachi even suspected that his Susanoo couldn’t block it.

“Its recovery power is truly strong.” Kitazawa formed hand seals again.

Kirin! Brilliant lightning illuminated the sky.

Itachi stopped the impulse to help. The area covered by this lightning was too vast; if he rushed in, he could easily be caught in the crossfire.

Satori sensed danger. It looked up and roared, its severed wing instantly recovering as before.

Satori flapped its wings and immediately charged towards Kitazawa.

With a bang! The lightning in the sky accumulated to its extreme, transforming into a Kirin that leaped down.

Satori was instantly engulfed by the lightning.

“What kind of Lightning Release is this?” Hyuga Neji felt stunned.

“So cool!” Naruto exclaimed, watching the magnificent scene.

Hinata subconsciously nodded. It was the first time the three of them had seen Kirin, so they felt awestruck.

The lightning dissipated, revealing a very miserable Satori, its entire body a bloody mess. But the black Chakra was rapidly healing its wounds at a visible rate.

Satori got up again. It stared at Kitazawa, revealing a sinister killing intent.

Having suffered two major losses in a row, it had already developed a grudge against Kitazawa.

“Let me try.” Itachi recovered and said.

Amaterasu!

His right Mangekyo Sharingan targeted Satori. In an instant, black flames appeared out of thin air, spreading from Satori’s body in all directions.

A sea of black flames appeared on the ground, and Satori was like a lone boat in the sea, screaming and struggling desperately.

Amaterasu, a Mangekyo Sharingan Dōjutsu, the strongest physical attack, and an unquenchable flame.

Although there were many ways to counter Amaterasu in the original story, Satori did not possess them.

“It seems to be effective.” Itachi felt a little relieved.

Satori was burned, flying and crashing erratically, eventually falling to the ground, but the flames still did not extinguish.

Just then, the Box of Ultimate Bliss suddenly trembled, and thick black smoke emerged from the opened mouths of the four masks.

The black smoke enveloped Satori, and the black flames suddenly paused.

Although still burning, they could no longer burn Satori and formed a stalemate with the black smoke. And the parts of Satori that were burned were also rapidly healing.

Itachi’s pupils contracted, sensing trouble.

“You hold it down, I’ll use a Sealing Technique,” Kitazawa said, taking out a specially made sealing scroll.

Under normal circumstances, sealing such a large creature requires a suitable vessel.

Like a Jinchuriki.

But Kitazawa’s goal was to seal Satori into the crafted yin release bow. If it were sealed into a Jinchuriki’s body now, the Jinchuriki would die when it was removed.

Moreover, Kitazawa hadn’t prepared a corresponding Jinchuriki. But fortunately, Satori was not as troublesome as a Tailed Beast.

Itachi was slightly startled. How did Kitazawa know he had a way to control Satori?

But then he thought about it and understood the reason. Kitazawa was Tsunade’s student, and as a high-ranking member of Konoha Village, he must have known about the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Since he had already exposed himself, Kitazawa had probably recognized his eyes.

Susanoo!

Itachi no longer hesitated. Terrifying Chakra surged from his body, instantly transforming him into a half-body giant.

The giant was enveloped in crimson Chakra, like armor, and its interior was filled with Chakra flesh.

A typical Susanoo is divided into five forms, and this was the second form.

And besides Uchiha Madara and Sasuke, in the original story, other people’s Susanoo only reached the third form at most.

Itachi only displayed his complete Susanoo, which is the fifth form, in official games. But to deal with Satori, the second form was already sufficient.

Susanoo opened its hands, grabbing Satori with one on the left and one on the right, and pressed it to the ground.

Satori struggled desperately, its massive body causing the ground to shake continuously. It roared, and all the black Chakra from its body spewed out, crashing into Susanoo.

Boom! Susanoo swayed.

A deep dent was made in the red Chakra outer layer. Itachi grunted, but he didn’t give way at all, still holding Satori down tightly.

Four Symbols Seal! Kitazawa formed hand seals, and a large number of black curse marks surged towards Satori.

Satori sensed danger and quickly abandoned Itachi, instead attacking Kitazawa with its black Chakra.

Yata Mirror!

A huge red mirror, or rather, a shield, unfolded in front of Kitazawa. It was one of Itachi’s Susanoo’s spiritual tools. Besides the Yata Mirror, he also had a Totsuka Blade.

The black curse marks covered Satori’s entire body, rendering it unable to move. The sealing scroll automatically unfurled, and Chakra surged out, covering its body.

Satori showed despair. Its massive body immediately shrank, completely disappearing into the sealing scroll.

For safety, Kitazawa added another layer of the Four Symbols Seal to the sealing scroll.

In the original story, Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina used the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style to seal the Yang Nine-Tailed into Naruto’s body.

And the so-called Eight Trigrams Sealing Style was actually two layers of the Four Symbols Seal.

Of course, it wasn’t simply stacked together like Kitazawa’s, but similar to a composite Ninjutsu.

Kitazawa couldn’t use the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, so he used the simplest and most direct method.

However, Satori was not the Nine-Tailed, and it couldn’t break through these two layers of the Four Symbols Seal.

Kitazawa put away the sealing scroll and looked at the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

With Satori’s disappearance, the previously opened Box of Ultimate Bliss was forced shut again, and the four human-faced masks on its sides closed their mouths once more.

“Is it over?” Hyuga Neji was stunned for a moment and asked.

Besides Naruto and Sasuke fighting, he and Hinata did nothing, worse than just being bystanders.

“Sasuke’s brother is really amazing!” Naruto stared at Susanoo, exclaiming with admiration.

“Teacher Kitazawa is also very amazing,” Hinata added.

What kind of Ninjutsu was this? Hyuga Neji regained his senses and looked at Susanoo. And what was wrong with his eyes? Shouldn’t they be Three-Tomoe?

Seeing that Satori was sealed, Itachi dispelled Susanoo. He walked to Kitazawa’s side, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Itachi wanted to explain the Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo, but then felt it was unnecessary.

Because Kitazawa hadn’t asked him about it from beginning to end. That confirmed his previous guess: he already knew.

“I’ll go check on Sasuke.” Kitazawa nodded at him and went to Sasuke’s side.

Itachi quickly followed. Kitazawa extended his hand and placed it on Sasuke’s forehead. Pale green Chakra flowed in.

A moment later, Sasuke opened his eyes. He shook his head, pressed his eyes, and then a flood of memories rushed into his mind.

Sasuke’s expression instantly froze. He not only fought with Naruto but also with Itachi?

But fighting wasn’t the main problem; the critical thing was that he had been disrespectful to Naruto and Itachi.

Sasuke’s face immediately flushed red, and he instinctively turned his head, not daring to meet the gazes of Itachi and Naruto.

A gloomy aura permeated the air, and three tomoe unconsciously appeared in his left and right eyes.

Kitazawa felt a subtle sensation.

He didn’t know if he had awakened his Sharingan because of the Box of Ultimate Bliss or because he felt guilty towards Itachi and Naruto.

But no matter what, his system mission was complete.
