Chapter 30 Itachi, let me measure your capacity!
Before the words were finished, a tremendous gravitational force suddenly appeared out of nowhere and acted on all the Konoha ninjas.
The ninjutsu "Universal Pull" can be used against single targets or groups, depending on tactical needs. In normal combat, it can pull a single enemy out of the enemy's formation for a one-on-one kill. When necessary, it can naturally be expanded to ensure that a group of people cannot escape.
This force was so immense that even Minato could not resist it and was forced to retreat backwards as he was sucked back.
Just as everyone's feet left the ground and they were about to lose control of their bodies, Akimichi Choza suddenly roared and grabbed a handful of pills, stuffing them into his mouth.
He could have controlled his body's changes automatically, but now, due to his severe injuries, his control has been greatly weakened, and he can only rely on the power of drugs.
After taking the medicine, his body immediately swelled up rapidly, transforming him back into a towering giant.
He stomped his feet on the ground, reached out and scooped up Minato Namikaze, then swung his arm and threw him forcefully into the distance.
He was also afraid that Minato would run back to rescue them, so as he threw the object, he shouted loudly:
"Fourth Hokage, please be sure to bring this information back to the village so that they can take precautions!"
"Also, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cannot be lost; please protect him at all costs!"
"No!" Minato Namikaze shouted hurriedly, trying to stop him, but under the effect of "Universal Pull", he had no way to stop Choza Akimichi.
It must be said that Akimichi Choza's power after transforming into a giant was indeed great, completely negating the effect of "Universal Pull," and sending Minato flying far away like a cannonball.
When Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi died, Akimichi Choza had already resolved to die.
The three of them, Ino, Shika, and Cho, had lived and died together for many years. Now that the other two were dead, he was unwilling to live alone.
He knew that Minato Namikaze had actually died long ago. Judging from his fighting condition, he could tell that Minato Namikaze had not actually been resurrected, and might not even be able to stay in the world for long.
The reason he suddenly and inexplicably appeared now is mostly because of his son, Naruto Uzumaki.
Now facing another crisis, Akimichi Choza wants to use his remaining life to save Uzumaki Naruto.
However, Akimichi Choza was very familiar with Namikaze Minato and knew that he would not abandon his companions and run away, so he found a perfect excuse to forcibly send him away.
Minato Namikaze was well aware of Choza Akimichi's good intentions, so when things couldn't be reversed, he could only silently accept this kindness.
With tears in his eyes, he gave Akimichi Choza a deep look, and as soon as he landed, he turned and resolutely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Pain was quite displeased that Minato Namikaze had escaped, and he immediately pressed his hands down.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The immense pressure descended once again. The severely injured Akimichi Choza barely managed to hold on for a moment before collapsing to the ground and dying on the spot.
Without Akimichi Choza's protection, the other ninjas were utterly vulnerable and were wiped out in an instant.
After all the Konoha ninjas were dead, Uchiha An came over with a grin, waving his arms exaggeratedly.
"Yo!"
"Chief, I've come to seek refuge with you!"
Payne hovered high in the air, looking down with hostility at the culprit who had caused his plan to bide his time to fail completely.
Uchiha An, however, seemed to have seen nothing at all and continued to introduce himself with a smile.
"Hey hey hey, I am that beast who was valued by the clan, but who personally slaughtered the entire clan of men, women, and children to consolidate the power of the Konoha politicians—Uchiha Itachi!"
Upon hearing his "self-introduction," everyone's attention was drawn to the real Uchiha Itachi.
Bai Jue covered his mouth, laughing so hard his whole body twisted into a pretzel shape.
"Pfft... Itachi, this guy seems to have a grudge against you!"
Uchiha Itachi remained expressionless and said casually:
"Perhaps I missed him when I was killing people."
"Whatever!"
"Those so-called clansmen are nothing but a bunch of spineless bastards."
"It's perfectly normal to measure my capacity with their lives."
Upon hearing Itachi Uchiha's words about magnanimity, An Uchiha's killing intent surged even more fiercely.
"Haha..." He covered his forehead with one hand and burst into laughter.
"Well said!"
"Itachi, what you said is so true!"
"You have such a magnanimous heart!"
"Come, come, since you're so fond of using the lives of your people to measure your worth, then let me measure your worth again!"
After speaking, Uchiha An reached into his robes and pulled out a sealing scroll. He unfolded it, formed hand seals, and released the contents inside.
It was a black wooden box with traces of blood dripping along its edges.
Uchiha An tilted his head and held the box in his hands with a grin.
"Hey, Itachi, guess what's inside this box?"
Seemingly oblivious to the malice hidden in Uchiha An's smile, Uchiha Itachi maintained his cold expression and calmly said:
"My capacity is beyond your comprehension, nor does it require your measurement."
"Is that so? Hehehe..." Uchiha An chuckled, reached out and opened the box, pulled out a human head, and showed its face to Uchiha Itachi.
"Hey, Itachi, take a closer look. Does this person look familiar?"
"Clang clang clang!"
"That's right, this is your beloved younger brother!"
"Oh hahaha..."
Uchiha Itachi's expression faltered. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at the familiar head, and he cried out in alarm:
"Sasuke!"
"How is that possible!"
"It's fake, it must be fake, you used an illusion on me!"
His Sharingan spun wildly, quickly transforming into the Mangekyou Sharingan, but what's real is real, and can never be faked.
But he couldn't accept this at all. Veins bulged on his forehead, his bloodshot eyes widened, and he roared madly.
"impossible!"
"You must have used a transformation spell!"
"That must be fake!"
Seeing Itachi Uchiha's crazy state, An Uchiha felt incredibly happy, feeling that all the hardships along the way were worthwhile.
"Hehehe..."
He chuckled a few times, then flicked his wrist and threw Sasuke's head toward Itachi.
"Hey, since you say it's a transformation spell, then you should examine it yourself!"
Uchiha Itachi reached out his trembling hand to take the severed head, but a guillotine sword suddenly appeared from the side and blocked the head away.
"Hey, Itachi, you can't lose your temper like this!"
"Since they're the enemy, they might have tampered with this mannequin head!"
However, Juzo Biwa was simply overthinking things this time. Ordinary explosive tags or poison wouldn't be enough to kill Itachi Uchiha.
The newly acquired Phosphorous Worms could indeed pose a threat to Itachi Uchiha, but they are uncontrollable, cannot distinguish friend from foe, and spread too quickly, potentially harming Sasuke's head, making it a losing proposition.
Therefore, Uchiha An did not do anything unnecessary.
"Hmph, meddling!"
Uchiha An glared fiercely at Biwa Juzo, then looked at Uchiha Itachi with a cold smile.
If you can't kill someone, attacking their spirit is just as good!
