Chapter 582: Izanami
Itachi: Sasuke.. watch and learn. IZANAMI!
Kabuto: Kukuku.. you can't hit me without eye contact! --finds himself paralyzed-- What!? HOW!?
Itachi: Since when were you under the impression that I was targetting you?
Kabuto: What.. then how..
Sasuke: //He isn't targetting Kabuto himself.. but then, who could he be targetting?// --looks around-- //...No. It can't be..//
--close-up on Kabuto's snakes--
Kabuto: You couldn't have.. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
Itachi: Simple. You were so cocky that you didn't take into account that your snakes, too, are part of you, and thus I could target you through them.
Kabuto: You..
Itachi: The snakes are your foundation. You are based on the snakes. Once I realized that, it was mere child's play. Once they fall, you fall.
Sasuke: //Such intellect.. He manages to outsmart his enemies even when they prepared for his deadliest moves..// --looks at Itachi, smiling-- //Nii-san, will I ever know the true extent of your power?//
Kabuto: This is impossible.. to think that someone who has no power comparable to Nagato.. or Madara.. could outsmart me.. AAAAH!!
Itachi: Your mistake was to assume that raw power alone would take me down. Remember this..
-close-up on Itachi's face-
Itachi: No man, no Jutsu and no war can stop me. Believe it.
Sasuke: //Itachi just oozes confidence and resolve.. very different from his indifferent attitude when he was fighting me back then..// --flashback of Itachi vs Sasuke-- //I see.. I never stood a chance against him.// --Flashback!Itachi: When you have the same eyes as me..-- //The same eyes.. his eyes. Only then..//
Itachi: Let's end this, shall we? Tsukuyomi!
Kabuto: Izanami.. and now Tsukuyomi? NOOO!!
Itachi: And now, end Edo Tensei.
Kabuto: --proceeds to make the handsigns, until..--
CRACK!
Kabuto: --vomits blood while a hand is stuck in his heart--
Itachi: Who..
Kabuto: Y-you.. bastard.. --coughs blood-- why?
??: You simply knew too much. I can't let you mingle with my plans any more.
Kabuto: Damn.. you.... bastard.. --falls down dead--
??: And ending Edo Tensei.. is against my plans as well... Itachi.
Itachi: --smirks-- I should've known he was working with you.. Tobi.
Tobi: Now hand over Sasuke.. you don't belong in this world anymore.
Itachi: Your nature stays the same until you die. I died once.. I won't be making the same mistake twice.
Tobi: Huh, so you will fight me? With no Susanoo? Or will you let your brother protect you like a coward?
Itachi: Your taunts are useless as they will not affect my way of thinking. I'm not Sasuke whom you could sway so easily with your cheap rhetorics.
Tobi: Funny.. he's stronger than you, yet you act like you're stronger than him. Brotherly instincts are quite interesting.
Itachi: You wouldn't understand this.
Tobi: There's no need. --warps behind Sasuke and takes him--
Sasuke: ITACHI!!!!
Itachi: SASUKE, NO!! --glares at Tobi--
Tobi: I'll be taking my leave-
??: SHINRA TENSEI!!
Tobi: What!? You too?
--Nagato stands in front of Tobi--
Itachi: Nagato.. but how.. I sealed you away with Totsuka!
Nagato: Not important. Itachi, take your brother and get away from here! I will fend off this man as long as I can.
Tobi: How foolish.. look at yourself. You're a dead man and you're protecting a man who's dead himself and his little brother whom he deliberately tortured and lied to.
Nagato: Something you never understood.. There is a strong bond between the Uchiha and the Uzumaki. This bond can't be severed by your cheap hatemongering.
Itachi: Uzumaki!? Nagato, are you..!?
Nagato: Just so you know that I'm Pein no longer.. there's no need for me to be a god, but...
I am Uzumaki Nagato. Student of Jiraiya the Sannin and proud to hold the Will of Fire.
