Eight Treasures Glazed Tower.
Su Mu suddenly looked at the distant sky.
A beam of power rose from the ground, rushing straight into the heavens.
"Such dense spiritual energy, has a Foundation Establishment expert been born?"
Behind him, She Ji slowly walked out. "Since he cultivated spiritual energy, then let me handle it."
Su Mu nodded. "Go ahead. After this battle ends, the first gate will likely open."
The system had already begun to change.
After the Ninja World War concluded, the first gate would be forcibly opened.
And at that time, the mechanism for obtaining shock points through storytelling would also change.
She Ji stepped into the air and flew away.
Within the dark stone cave.
Kabuto Yakushi carefully examined Sasuke's body.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an entirely different person, inside and out.
A mysterious aura emanated from his body.
Sasuke casually pointed, and a rock instantly exploded.
"This power..."
Sasuke burst into frenzied laughter.
Suddenly, a figure slowly walked in.
When Sasuke clearly saw the person's appearance, he was stunned.
"Uchiha Itachi?!"
"You..."
Uchiha Itachi looked at Kabuto behind Sasuke and frowned deeply. "What did you do to Sasuke?"
He could tell at a glance what was wrong with Sasuke's body.
Sasuke was stunned. He looked at Kabuto with a bewildered expression. "What is he talking about?"
Kabuto grinned and took off his hat. At this moment, Sasuke recoiled in horror.
Because he discovered that Kabuto's face was exactly the same as his own!
"What... what's going on!"
Itachi's body dispersed into a swarm of crows.
From behind Kabuto, a long sword suddenly pierced through his body.
"You're a clone too, aren't you?" Itachi said calmly.
Immediately, Kabuto dissolved into a pool of viscous fluid.
At this moment, more people who looked exactly like Sasuke suddenly appeared all around them.
"This is troublesome. He used cloning technology to replicate your genes."
"The only way to solve this is to find Kabuto."
Sasuke drew his sword, and a powerful surge of energy instantly bisected the surrounding clones.
Uchiha Itachi looked around and suddenly discovered a hidden door.
"Follow me!"
The two brothers approached the hidden door. Itachi summoned his Susanoo and shattered the wall with a single blow.
Dust billowed out.
The scene before them left Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi utterly dumbfounded.
In a stark white room, countless machines housed row after row of Sasuke's clones.
Looking from the first row, there were about ten thousand of them.
Sasuke's scalp tingled. He had no idea he was being exploited.
The two walked through the equipment. On a throne directly in front, sat Kabuto.
He was seen gnawing on the body of a cloned Sasuke.
His expression of enjoyment was utterly perverse.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Kabuto suddenly stopped eating and turned around.
The blood and torn flesh in his mouth made Sasuke feel an urge to vomit.
"What are you doing all this for?" Itachi stared coldly at Kabuto.
"Hee hee..."
"Of course, it's to become a true Sage..."
Kabuto slowly stood up. As he walked before Sasuke's true body, he took a deep breath, his expression one of excitement.
"When I was modifying your body, I suddenly discovered a problem."
"You have abandoned your chakra, but there is still another power hidden within your body."
"This power is incredibly potent, but unfortunately, it belongs to the chakra path."
"However, I have successfully transformed this power."
"The you that I've created would surely not be under my control."
"I suspect your past life was an extraordinary individual."
"To obtain your power, I replicated your genes."
"Have you heard of human-shaped ginseng?"
"It resembles a human, but the essence of heaven and earth it contains is beyond your imagination."
"However, the clones inherited too little of your true body's power, so I had to keep replicating."
"I made them all become my food, and only then could I slowly seize that power bit by bit."
"Finally, until I consume you... and then take your place... Hahaha... what a satisfying thing to do..."
Kabuto's laughter grew more deranged.
"So, you turned yourself into a zombie as well?" Sasuke asked coldly, staring at Kabuto.
"Before, I was too ignorant to call those resurrected individuals zombies."
"But now, after achieving sublimation, I prefer to call them 'evil-eaters'."
"Humans deserve punishment. A new world will be reborn through my hands."
"Constant evolution is the true meaning of life!"
Kabuto comfortably spread his arms.
*Swish!*
Sasuke drew his sword.
Kabuto flicked a finger and snapped the long sword.
"You want to fight me?"
"Don't you realize? I've already shed my snake skin!"
"I have now ascended to become an immortal!"
Uchiha Itachi chuckled. "Every technique has a flaw, and the flaw in this technique is my existence."
Kabuto opened his mouth wide, and a large snake shot out from his body.
Itachi was instantly slammed against the wall by the great serpent.
"Itachi!" Sasuke rushed forward anxiously.
Kabuto climbed out from the head of the great serpent and looked at the approaching Sasuke, laughing perversely. "Will it be the brother saving the brother, or the brother saving the younger brother today?"
"Imperial Sword Technique!"
Sasuke waved his hand, and several spiritual energy-formed swords appeared in mid-air.
"Go!"
*Swish, swish, swish!*
The swords converged and fired.
Kabuto shook his head dismissively. "You're using what I taught you to kill me?"
"How naive can you be?"
Kabuto casually pointed, and the swords attacking him instantly turned and flew back towards Sasuke.
Sasuke was momentarily stunned.
At this critical moment, Itachi shielded Sasuke.
His sturdy back blocked all the swords.
"Almost forgot, you're also a zombie."
Kabuto landed on the ground, slowly gathering spiritual energy in his hands.
"Sasuke, stay behind me and don't wander off."
Itachi's eyes suddenly changed.
Looking at the Kabuto before him, he slowly closed his eyes.
"Have you decided to meet your death?"
"Hee hee, then I'll send you on your way!"
Kabuto's hands converged with spiritual energy, and a crescent-shaped wave of power instantly shot towards Uchiha Itachi.
Suddenly, Itachi opened his eyes.
A blue aura emanated from his body.
In the next second, he took a sudden step forward. "Samadhi True Fire!"
*Boom!*
Kabuto was sent reeling back several steps by this power.
He looked at Uchiha Itachi in shock. "Why... why can you also use spiritual energy!"
Itachi walked towards Kabuto expressionlessly. "You resurrected the dead by merging Edo Tensei with corpse manipulation."
"Its inherent flaws mean that zombies absorb the essence of the moon, which is also spiritual energy."
"After becoming immortal, the chakra and spiritual energy in the body can be used simultaneously."
"This is something you failed to notice."
At this moment, Itachi recalled his past battle with Su Fan.
So it turned out that what Su Fan had said before releasing the Samadhi True Fire was the incantation for the Samadhi True Fire.
