Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 57 Itachi: Sasuke, you've grown up.

The swords, composed of Wind Release and Lightning Release, clashed fiercely, and the final result was finally revealed: Uchiha Sasuke pierced through Shimura Danzo at the last moment.

"Is this all Sasuke's strength has to offer?" Obito Uchiha commented indifferently after witnessing the scene.

"Too hasty, huh? Your eyes are still open." Danzo, though exposed, remained completely unfazed. "Go to Itachi's side and get a lecture. I've won."

"You think you've seen through Izanagi..." Danzo wanted to continue his lecture, but suddenly realized something was wrong. Izanagi hadn't been activated yet, which was already very strange. "What's going on? Why hasn't Izanagi been activated?"

At this moment, Sasuke stared intently at Danzo with wide eyes.

It turned out that Danzo had already fallen under Sasuke Uchiha's genjutsu. He thought he still had one Sharingan, but in fact he had long since lost all of his Sharingan. Therefore, he was unable to continue using Izanagi as before.

"You're the one going to see Itachi," Sasuke Uchiha said, panting heavily.

"Danzo, just as you said, Sasuke's genjutsu is far inferior to Itachi's, especially compared to Tsukuyomi, which can manipulate time and space. This genjutsu is short-lived and weak, but the key is where it is used. Izanagi is activated by abandoning the Sharingan. One eye can activate a genjutsu for about sixty seconds, but Sasuke's suicidal continuous attacks were aimed at reliably reducing Danzo's Sharingan one by one. It was a calculated action, so before the final episode, the Sharingan in his right arm had all closed." Uchiha Obito, however, saw through all of this from afar.

"Sasuke is a member of the Uchiha clan and a ninja with the Mangekyou Sharingan. In terms of observation skills, Danzo, his strength is above yours. Before you even realized it, Sasuke cast a genjutsu, making you mistakenly believe that the last eye on your right arm was still open. You yourself checked the Sharingan on your right arm many times to determine the unstable effective time of Izanagi. Sasuke did not miss this detail. Although it only made you mistakenly believe that you were still within the effective time of Izanagi, he had already confirmed that he could make you fall into a genjutsu in an instant. Sasuke could not possibly not take advantage of this. It was just because you had the Sharingan that you underestimated the way to fight with the Sharingan. This arrogance led to your defeat."

At this point, the three people holding the diary finally understood the entire process of the battle. Especially for Uchiha Itachi, many details came back to him. At the beginning, Sasuke used genjutsu to create his own image, which instantly caught Danzo off guard. Although Danzo managed to counterattack and break the genjutsu in a very short time.

However, it also confirms one thing: even if Shimura Danzo has the ability to break through illusions in a short time, he can still fall into an illusion in an instant, because his resistance to illusions is not high enough.

Illusion is something that a more determined ninja is less likely to fall for. Conversely, Shimura Danzo spent a long time training Root underground and arranging for Root to complete some dark missions. He seemed very cold and ruthless, but that coldness and ruthlessness was only towards others. He was not as hard-hearted as he was towards himself.

In addition, Danzo mentioned earlier that his right Sharingan had been activated, which clearly indicates that he still has a Sharingan hidden in his right eye, but it cannot be activated. It is very likely that he has already performed a ninjutsu similar to Izanagi beforehand, and the location of the performance was the Five Kage Summit.

"You've grown up, Sasuke!"

Uchiha Itachi said with satisfaction, "Although in the early stages, just as Kitahara Kaede complained, he would get hit by Amaterasu even if a dog passed by on the roadside, and his fighting style was quite chaotic, after obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan, his mentality obviously became inflated."

However, during the battle, Sasuke clearly regained his fighting spirit and even came up with such a brilliant tactic while fighting that he managed to counter-kill Danzo.

He could rest assured; Sasuke had the talent to lead the Uchiha clan to renewed glory.

"So that eye is called the Mangekyou Sharingan? It's a Sharingan that goes beyond the three-tomoe Sharingan." Kakashi Hatake was also just realizing that the Sharingan had an evolved form after the three-tomoe Sharingan.

However, over the years, few people have known this, which means that the price to open this eye is very high, and probably very few people can achieve it.

These eyes are different from Itachi's before; they're Mangekyou Sharingan, aren't they? They truly live up to their name.

However, this video reveals too much information. Danzo actually possesses the bloodline limits of two powerful clans, is directly related to the Uchiha clan massacre, and is even connected to the defector Orochimaru.

And then there's Itachi's secret—the secret of Itachi's collusion with Danzo. If any of these secrets were to be revealed, it would cause a huge uproar.

"This is really troublesome." Kakashi Hatake thought of his team. Whether it was Sasuke Uchiha, the descendant of the Uchiha clan, or Naruto Uzumaki, the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, they were all targets coveted by others.

Itachi Uchiha, Danzo, Orochimaru, and the Akatsuki organization—any one of them was a Kage-level fighter. For the first time, he deeply felt the inadequacy of his own combat power.

Over the years, he has maintained the attitude that living is good and dying is also acceptable, and has not seriously cultivated himself for many years.

In previous versions, he was confident that he would not be at a disadvantage against anyone, as Kage-level opponents were not so easy to encounter.

But now, it feels like the world is full of Kage-level masters. He, as the number one below Kage, is no longer enough. Even Sasuke's strength three years later has clearly surpassed his own.

"I've really let my guard down, Kakashi Hatake," Kakashi Hatake said with a self-deprecating laugh.

The thought of Kitahara Kaede teasing him about being "Kakagi 50/50" made him feel terrible. For the first time ever, he started to think that he could watch "Icha Icha Paradise" later and focus on improving his strength as much as possible in the short term.

Movie-level!

It's time to dig out my father's notes and take a look. Also, the Hatake clan's swordsmanship was once renowned throughout the ninja world. My father relied on the Hatake clan's swordsmanship, and even the Sannin had to give way to him. But when I was about the same age, I was so scared of Orochimaru that I couldn't move and couldn't even take him down with me.

Thinking about it, I really brought shame to my father.

"This is a battle where eyes communicate." Sasuke Uchiha, panting, responded to Danzo Shimura's earlier words. "Don't underestimate the Uchiha!"

"Although Shisui's eyes are unusable, they've pushed Danzo to this point. Sasuke, it's about time you took back Shisui's eyes. They should have been buried in the ground anyway."

Obito Uchiha's words once again shocked Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Sasuke Uchiha.
