Chapter 72: Shock the World
As Uchiha Itachi and the masked man—Uchiha Obito—entered battle mode, the entire Uchiha clan land became oppressive. The air grew thick, heavy, almost suffocating.
But just as the pressure reached its peak, threatening to suffocate those nearby—
Uchiha Yuta glanced calmly at Uchiha Fugaku and said in a composed voice,
"You all should retreat for now—so you won't be caught in the aftermath."
"Understood!!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed for a moment, then he nodded and signaled with a hand gesture.
Swish... Swish...
The sound of wind splitting echoed as the Uchiha clan ninjas quickly withdrew from the square in an orderly fashion.
"Now's my chance!!"
In the next instant, Uchiha Itachi, who had been waiting for the perfect moment, flashed forward and appeared in front of Uchiha Yuta. His Mangekyō Sharingan flared with terrifying power.
"Amaterasu!"
A cold whisper escaped his lips as his right eye narrowed sharply, focusing all his ocular power on Yuta.
"This feeling..."
Yuta frowned, immediately sensing Itachi's intention through his Observation Haki. Instead of dodging, he simply gripped the Cong Yun's Blade tighter.
Zzzzt!!
Combining the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and his top-tier Armament Haki, a fluorescent white aura enveloped the blade. With a casual wave—
Crack... Crack...
—space itself seemed to rupture.
To Itachi's shock, the black flames of Amaterasu, which had just appeared, were torn apart by the white shockwave and scattered across the square, wildly burning everything but missing Yuta entirely.
"What... Impossible?!"
Watching his Amaterasu get shredded, Itachi's expression changed. He instantly activated his left eye—the Mangekyō spun again as he cast an illusion.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Blood began to leak from Itachi's eyes due to the immense chakra consumption, but a faint smile curved his lips.
Because...
The Tsukuyomi had landed successfully.
Suddenly, Yuta's surroundings grew dark and surreal. He found himself in a red-and-black barren world—the inner world of Tsukuyomi.
"So this is the world where one second outside equals endless suffering within?"
Yuta looked around impassively and raised his head to look at Itachi floating mid-air.
"This illusion of yours... is far too weak."
"Weak?"
Itachi's voice turned cold.
"Inside Tsukuyomi, I control everything—space, time, matter. I am god here."
He stretched out his hand.
Boom...
A giant black crucifix appeared behind Yuta. Chains wrapped around his limbs, trying to bind him.
But—
"Maybe this could've worked once... but now?"
Yuta smiled slightly, then raised his head with a calm, yet dominating voice.
"Do you know what it means to reign over the world?"
BOOM!!!
A terrifying aura exploded from Yuta—an imperial momentum that seemed to crush reality itself.
Crack... Crack...
Without warning, the illusion began to shatter.
Cracks tore through the Tsukuyomi world like a broken mirror. Seconds later—
BOOM!
The entire illusionary space was shattered violently by Yuta's presence alone.
In reality—
Uchiha Itachi screamed as blood poured from his eye socket. But he ignored the pain—his eyes fixed on Yuta in utter disbelief.
"He... shattered Tsukuyomi with sheer will...?"
Despair crept into his heart. It wasn't that he was too weak.
It was that this monster... was too strong.
"You've lost."
Yuta stepped forward calmly.
"When one's body reaches a certain level of strength, the spirit transforms with it. Illusions become meaningless."
"Stop bluffing!"
Uchiha Obito, who had remained still, gritted his teeth and vanished with a flicker.
He reappeared behind Yuta, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed his shoulder.
"Kamui."
The space around them twisted into a vortex, attempting to drag Yuta into the Kamui dimension.
"Go rot in my dimension!"
Obito's voice was filled with fury.
"You're the first fool to ever get this close to me..."
Yuta turned his head slowly, a grin spreading across his face.
"Do you know what true destructive power looks like?"
"Spare me the nonsense!" Obito roared.
"You deserve to die!"
BOOM!!
Yuta clenched his fist and struck at the swirling space itself.
Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Armament Haki. Immortal Chakra. Three-in-one.
The punch exploded outward with devastating force.
CRACK!!
The vortex-space cracked visibly.
"No... impossible!" Obito's voice cracked with panic.
He never imagined anyone would try to counter Kamui by breaking the spatial distortion itself.
"There's no such thing as impossible."
Yuta's fist glowed even brighter—fluorescent white light flaring.
BOOM!!!
A shockwave erupted, shattering the twisted vortex. A spatial explosion tore through the air, creating a destructive blast that shook the land.
"You're insane!!" Obito shouted.
"Kamui: Intangibility!"
In his panic, Obito activated his intangibility to avoid the blast.
"Good."
Yuta's expression remained composed.
"I've been waiting for you to turn intangible."
His body surged with haki again.
Though his attacks passed through Obito's voided form, Yuta didn't stop.
"Let's see if you can stay intangible for five straight minutes."
"Wh—What?!"
Obito froze.
He couldn't believe it.
How did Yuta know Kamui's five-minute limit?!
His chakra was drained. His Sharingan was bleeding. Even with Hashirama cells, he wouldn't last long.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Yuta launched a flurry of lightning-fast punches—each one shaking the air.
Even though they passed through Obito, the shockwaves blasted the surroundings violently.
"He's a monster..."
The distant Uchiha clan members watching the battle gasped in disbelief.
"Even Uchiha Itachi and the masked man... can't land a hit?"
"Too strong... Lord Yuta is like a god of war!"
Meanwhile, Itachi had slumped to the ground, eyes no longer in Mangekyō form, completely drained.
And Yuta kept attacking—
Relentlessly.
Obito, still in his void state, grew more and more desperate with every second.
"No... it's time... I can't hold it anymore!"
Just then—
Zzzzt!!!
His void form ended. His body returned to physical form.
"Now."
Yuta's eyes flashed. He sensed it instantly.
With a roar, he threw a final punch toward Obito's chest.
"You—!"
Obito's eyes widened behind the mask.
BOOM!!
The punch landed.
A brilliant white shockwave erupted—
—and the masked man, Uchiha Obito, was blown apart in an instant. His body exploded into a mist of blood that floated silently across the square.
BOOM!!!
Just as Obito fell, a massive explosion echoed.
The detonation tags hidden in the Uchiha clan's land were activated.
"It's a trap!"
"They buried tags in advance!"
"Quick! Put out the fires!"
Panic broke out among the Uchiha clansmen.
Nobody noticed that Uchiha Itachi had vanished from the scene.
Watching the chaos from above, Uchiha Yuta's expression remained calm.
"Izanagi... Kuro Zetsu... Obito... Itachi..."
He narrowed his eyes, as if he had seen through everything from the start.
Top-tier Observation Haki could see through deception and hidden threats.
He had known—about the traps, the hidden enemies, even the tags buried by Root.
And about Itachi's secret escape.
But he didn't act.
Why?
Because it wasn't worth his time.
Now, he had something more important to do.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was still sitting in his office... waiting for the "good news" of the Uchiha clan's annihilation.
But instead—
Yuta would bring him despair.
"If the Uchiha aren't annihilated..."
"...then maybe it's time the Sarutobi clan is."
He glanced toward the horizon, eyes sharp.
"Let the real show begin when the sun rises."
