Chapter 40

: One strike cuts down Susanoo!

"In the world of One Piece, three months have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Time here, however, doesn't flow at all."

"It's disorienting..."

Junichi walked into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror.

In the mirror.

The photo revealed a broad-shouldered, extremely strong man.

The muscles are full, firm, and plump.

He grew to 1.9 meters tall, and his appearance became more masculine and rugged, completely losing his former gloom.

"Armament Haki, Observation Haki..."

"The realm of a great swordsman..."

"Six Styles..."

Junichi squinted, feeling the power filling his body, and felt incredibly comfortable.

He is now dozens of times stronger than he was before he transmigrated!

Strong capabilities bring a great sense of security!

"Are they here?"

A thought struck him, and he looked up at the door.

In the perception of sight and hearing.

A boy with a strong, cold aura in his eyes walked towards his house.

"hehe……"

Junichi chuckled and drew the great sword that had accompanied him back with him—Oni-no-Mitsu!

……

Outside.

Uchiha Itachi, flicking the blood dripping from his sword, walked to Junichi's house.

"This is it."

He glanced at the doorplate, nodded slightly, and muttered casually to himself, "Once inside, use illusion magic to control them and interrogate them to extract their secrets."

"Look at the reaction just now, what exactly happened?"

"Kill him if there are no problems."

Just now.

Junichi Uchiha went outside and saw him killing someone from afar, but unlike the other members of his clan, he didn't rush up in anger.

Instead, he calmly returned home.

This calmness struck Itachi Uchiha as odd.

But he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, he was just a fifteen-year-old Chunin who hadn't awakened his Sharingan yet. Even if he had a secret, it couldn't be anything big.

Thinking about it.

Itachi Uchiha kicked the door open.

boom!

The door to the Zhun family's house was violently kicked open, and the person flew backwards into the house.

Uchiha Itachi was about to enter.

Suddenly, a chilling sense of crisis spread throughout my body.

For no apparent reason, his hair stood on end, and his whole body tensed up, as if some life-or-death crisis was about to befall him.

No hesitation.

Itachi Uchiha unleashed the power of his eyes, directly releasing the ultimate eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Susanoo!!"

Swish!

A massive amount of ocular power surged forth, mixing with chakra to instantly construct a humanoid half-body skeleton more than ten meters tall.

The skeleton appeared at the same time.

Hiss!

A flying slash tore through the air and shot towards us.

boom!!

Susanoo was directly slashed away, flying dozens of meters and crashing into more than ten houses.

Itachi Uchiha felt as if he had been hit by a small mountain.

He saw stars and felt dizzy.

My blood and qi surged throughout my body, and I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"Cough cough..."

It took him a while to recover and look up.

That one glance.

His eyes widened immediately, and he looked horrified.

His Susanoo was actually split open with an extremely deep crack!

The crack almost reached right in front of him.

It was less than three centimeters from his forehead, almost piercing through Susanoo and wounding him.

"It almost cleaved Susanoo in two..."

Itachi Uchiha couldn't believe it.

Then, he looked around.

Beside Susanoo, a deep cut stretched for hundreds of meters down the street.

This discovery sent chills down his spine.

"That slash just now, part of it hit me, almost piercing through Susanoo... and the other part cleaved a crack hundreds of meters long in the street?"

"Are you kidding me!"

"How could anyone's strike be this powerful!?"

Itachi Uchiha was shocked.

Tap, tap, tap...

Suddenly, footsteps came from the house ahead.

Uchiha Itachi immediately looked up, staring nervously in that direction.

A burly man walked out.

"Who are you?"

Itachi Uchiha was taken aback, then noticed a familiar mark on the man's face and exclaimed in surprise, "You...you're Junichi Uchiha?"

"You reacted pretty quickly, Itachi."

Junichi stepped forward, sword in hand, and looked at him with a smile: "That attack just now, I didn't actually kill you outright."

"Fine, my flying slash is indeed not very good yet."

"His physical strength is a bit weak."

Junichi smiled, then suddenly changed the subject, pointing his long sword at Itachi.

It seemed to sense its master's murderous intent.

The demonic eyes exuded an eerie, bloodthirsty aura, and the patterns on the knife became as vivid as blood.

"But it's okay."

"With the next cut, I'll send you to your death."

……

At the same time.

Around the Uchiha clan's territory, many Uchiha clan members resisted the Root's attack.

They looked in astonishment in the direction from which the commotion came.

"A red skeletal giant..."

"It's Susanoo!"

"Someone has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"Damn it, it's that guy."

"Most likely."

But the tribespeople were not happy at all; instead, they looked gloomy.

They could all guess it.

The only person who could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan is that guy who betrayed his clan—Uchiha Itachi.

"Don't rush, this seems to be a good thing," someone suddenly said.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what was going on.

They gazed at the skeletal giant in the distance, their expressions varied.

There were speculations, surprises, thoughtful expressions, and schadenfreude.

"Has Susanoo been defeated?"

"Who is the other party?"

"I don't know, but they're definitely not from the third generation."

"It seems there are many things hidden within the family."

The group chatted casually.

Since the third generation has already come knocking on our door, nothing else can make the situation worse.

But in the corner.

A person wearing a vortex mask and a black humanoid creature.

These two weren't in a good mood.

"The Susanoo has been defeated. You Uchiha are truly full of talent," Black Zetsu said in a strange tone.

"They were just repelled."

Obito snorted and retorted, "Besides, it's only the initial stage of Susanoo; it hasn't shown its true power yet."

"Just wait and see."

"When Itachi gets serious, no matter who he's facing, they have no chance to fight back."

……

……

At the heart of the family.

Fugaku stared in astonishment at the fallen red Susanoo.

"That was... Itachi's Susanoo, right? It was actually defeated?"

His expression was very surprised, and his eyes flickered.

"Darling?" Mikoto asked, puzzled.

"Mikoto, things have changed. It seems the clan isn't doomed yet," Fugaku said expectantly.

……

The Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage and Danzo stared blankly at the fallen Susanoo, speechless.

Susanoo actually lost?

They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Isn't this the ultimate eye technique of the Kaleidoscope, a powerful move hailed as the power of a martial god?

He was actually slashed and knocked to the ground?

"Are there any Uchiha members who excel in swordsmanship?" The Third Hokage rubbed his head and frowned as he looked at Danzo.

When it comes to understanding the Uchiha clan, Danzo is the best.

"As far as I know, no!" Danzo thought seriously and shook his head solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage's expression turned serious.

It would be bad if it weren't there.

An unexpected change has occurred!

"Anbu, support Root's operations." The Third Hokage pondered for a long time before issuing the order.

A corner of the office.

An officer from the shadows stepped out, bowed, and left through the window.

"..."

Danzo hesitated, realizing that the Anbu's interference would make it difficult for him to collect Sharingan.

However, considering that unexpected circumstances may arise.

The main executor, Uchiha Itachi, may encounter problems and be unable to complete the massacre of the clan.

We have no choice but to accept support from the secret service.
