The Third Hokage now understood that Uchiha Ryōsuke's physical strength was even greater.
Sure enough, as he said, one becomes stronger as long as one trains.
Now, even without this guy opening the Eight Inner Gates, his own Taijutsu was not the opponent's match.
Feeling the pain in his arm, he was simply no match for Uchiha Ryōsuke.
Moreover, the plan had failed, and the consequences were extremely serious.
His heart was filled with terror.
At this moment, Ryōsuke was holding Shisui's two eyes, looking at the Third Hokage.
"I didn't expect you actually dared to make a move on me. What exactly have you done to Shisui?"
Hearing Shisui's name, the Third Hokage panicked in his heart and immediately turned to run.
If the other party knew that Shisui died at his hands, wouldn't that give him a reason to openly kill him?
Moreover, he speculated that the reason the other party hadn't forced him to step down with martial force before was because he had become smarter and learned to use 'righteousness' to make him step down legitimately.
He couldn't leave a handle in the other party's hands; that would become his fatal wound.
He had to rush back and dispose of Shisui's corpse cleanly; perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
Seeing the Third Hokage trying to escape, how could Ryōsuke let him get away?
He directly opened the Eight Inner Gates. Blue-green chakra steam rose from his body, erupting with a terrifying aura. With one step, he chased after the Third Hokage.
He caught up with the Third Hokage in an instant.
He kicked fiercely directly at his back.
This sent the Third Hokage smashing toward the ground like a cannonball.
With a bang, a large crater appeared on the ground, and the Third Hokage was lying in the pit, struggling, coughing up blood. However, the intense impact filled his face with pain, and he soon fainted.
Ryōsuke was also excited in his heart at this moment. He actually dared to make a move on him, and even dared to use Shisui's eyes. Regardless of whether Shisui was okay or not, this was a great opportunity for the Uchiha Clan.
The Third Hokage should fall from power.
Then, carrying the Third Hokage's body, he walked toward the other enemy, Uchiha Itachi.
On the other side, Uchiha Itachi had already opened the nutrient flask, took out his own eyes, and installed them.
After all, these were his own eyes. The optic nerves connected at a very fast speed, and he soon recovered his original abilities.
At this time, he heard a loud noise, and his expression suddenly turned bad. Could it be that Uchiha Ryōsuke had made a move on the Third Hokage?
Damn guy.
Just as he was about to rush over, he saw a figure appear in front of him, carrying the unconscious Third Hokage in his hand, and asked angrily:
"Uchiha Ryōsuke, what have you done to the Third Hokage?"
The loud noise just now must have been Uchiha Ryōsuke making a move. He didn't know how the Third Hokage was now.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryōsuke threw the Third Hokage in his hand to the side and said slowly:
"Don't worry, I didn't kill him, just knocked him out with heavy injuries."
"I actually want to ask you, Shisui's eyes were in your hands. You guys didn't kill Shisui, did you?"
Thinking of Shisui, Ryōsuke's gaze became even colder. If that was the case, what role did Uchiha Itachi play in this?
He didn't think Itachi did it. Even if he was frenzied, he hadn't reached that level. Then it should be the Third Hokage who did it.
Itachi didn't want to pay attention to Uchiha Ryōsuke's words. Instead, he directly activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan, and then opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. The triangular windmill pattern of the Sharingan stared at Uchiha Ryōsuke.
He only wanted to kill the opponent now. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami had failed, but his Tsukuyomi would not fail.
Seeing the opponent activate the Mangekyō Sharingan, Ryōsuke also had a bad premonition in his heart.
In the original plot, it was Uchiha Shisui's death that allowed Uchiha Itachi to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. Could it be that such a scene was playing out again?
Perhaps Uchiha Shisui was already dead now.
Although this was an opportunity for the clan to rise, Shisui was also a pitiful person. His parents died for Konoha, and he himself gave his all for the Leaf Village and the Uchiha Clan, but unexpectedly, he died at the hands of the Third Hokage.
It was truly a bit miserable.
He felt a bit of self-blame. He didn't expect that even though Danzō, who held the greatest malice toward the Uchiha Clan, was dead, such a thing could still happen.
However, he looked at Uchiha Itachi.
"Since you have already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, it implies that Shisui is already dead, right? And the Third Hokage definitely did this."
"Why don't you seek revenge against the Third Hokage? Wasn't Shisui your close friend?"
From the original plot, one knew that Uchiha Shisui was Itachi's only friend in the family. They trained together since childhood. Uchiha Shisui must have taught Uchiha Itachi many training methods. Shisui was both a teacher and a friend to him.
Hearing Uchiha Ryōsuke's words, Uchiha Itachi...
He actually dared to mention Shisui, and even wanted him to seek revenge against the Third Hokage.
The hatred in his heart grew even stronger, and his face became twisted.
"This is all your fault. If not for your arrogance and domineering ways, how could Shisui...?"
Ryōsuke was stunned for a moment hearing the other party's words, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
"What are you saying? What does this have to do with me?"
"Did I kill Shisui?"
He felt Itachi's thinking was abnormal. Was this the so-called 'thinking from a Hokage's perspective' since childhood? Just thinking about this?
He cursed directly:
"Do you have a pig's brain?"
It was the same in the original plot. Clearly knowing that Danzō laid a killing hand on Shisui and even gouged out one of Shisui's eyes, he still followed Danzō's orders and turned to wave the butcher's knife at his family.
This was truly a perverted way of thinking. He couldn't even figure out who his enemy was. And this was called Hokage thinking? Isn't this purely a fool?
Itachi didn't have any fluctuations regarding Ryōsuke's insults. Uchiha Ryōsuke indeed had no intention of repenting at all.
Precisely because he stood from the village's perspective, he could see that it was Uchiha Ryōsuke's problem. If Uchiha Ryōsuke hadn't been so arrogant and domineering in the village, how could the Third Hokage have made a move against Shisui?
The culprit was Uchiha Ryōsuke.
The other party's thinking was too low-level.
Such a guy who threatened the village could only be eliminated.
He gathered pupil power in his left eye, and the Mangekyō Sharingan emitted a scarlet light.
"Tsukuyomi."
He wanted to pull Uchiha Ryōsuke's spirit into the illusion, and then destroy the opponent's spirit.
Tsukuyomi was not a gentle genjutsu that modified a person's thoughts like Shisui's.
This genjutsu of his was a genjutsu with terrifying killing power.
