Sasuke felt extremely sorry when he saw Mizuki and Tenzou leave and disappear from sight, but he had to give up. Although he thought highly of himself, he didn't think he was capable of participating in such a battle. It was good enough to fight a seriously injured Deidara.

The Shuimu clone who stayed behind estimated the time and it was almost time for him to appear.

"Although there are not many people like this in the ninja world, there are more than one or two. There are people who are more powerful than Deidara. I think you should have seen them."

When Obito and White Zetsu attacked Konoha Village half a year ago, the overwhelming feeling of oppression made Sasuke breathless.

"Deidara and Orochimaru were both defeated by Uchiha Itachi..."

“Really?”

Sasuke smiled to himself.

"I am far from being a match for these two people..."

"Don't underestimate yourself! Deidara was defeated because his resistance to illusions was too low. Most of his strength was concentrated in his flying ability and detonating clay. Orochimaru was in poor physical and mental condition and was restrained by Uchiha Itachi's illusions. Strictly speaking, Uchiha Itachi is not much stronger than these two!"

“I see!”

This is good news for Sasuke. At least he knows the limits of his enemy's strength and has a clear target to pursue.

"Has anyone ever defeated that man?"

Mizuki thought about it carefully and shook his head.

"Ever since he started to reach the peak of his powers, I have never heard of anyone being better than him."

He did have this when he was young. Uchiha Shisui would not lose to him. Even Mizuki was amazed at the power of Shisui's Instant Body Technique. With his current strength, he could not achieve the level of switching between reality and illusion with his Instant Body Technique. It was not a bloodline limit, nor a secret technique. The pure Instant Body Technique that could reach this level was simply horrifying. Even the most basic ability was so powerful to a certain extent, and it was still so terrifying after causing a qualitative change.

"Uchiha Itachi is indeed powerful when he gives his all, but no matter how strong he is, there is always a price to pay for his strength, and Uchiha Itachi is no exception."

Think about his complete form of Susanoo, which is both offensive and defensive, and invulnerable, the Totsuka Sword combined with the Eight-foot Mirror and the Yasaka Magatama, and the indestructible Amaterasu, and the nearly unbreakable illusion of Tsukuyomi at close range.

If he were given a healthy body and could upgrade to the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, I really couldn't think of anything that could defeat him, except for the special eye technique of the Rinnegan - the Rinnegan Grave Prison, which is basically unsolvable except for Yin-Yang Release.

"Everything has its flaws. Perhaps this world does not allow such an invincible person to appear!"

After listening to Mizuki's comments, Uchiha Sasuke was speechless for a while, and then asked with some expectation:

"Is there anyone in the village who can kill him?"

"Tsunade-sama, the traveling Jiraiya-sama, Hatake Kakashi and I also have a good chance, but if we really want to say who has the best chance of killing Uchiha Itachi, it's Lee's teacher Might Guy!"

"Teacher Kai?"

It turned out to be the usually low-key teacher with thick eyebrows, which was really beyond Sasuke's expectations.

"Could it be the Eight Gates?"

Mizuki answered affirmatively:

"No matter what technique it is, as long as it can be used to the extreme, it will become an unstoppable trick."

Flickering Shisui and Eight Gates Ninjutsu are typical examples, and the complete form of the Thousand Shogunate envisioned by Mizuki is the same, the extreme flames and high temperature that destroys all existence.

"Can I learn the Eight Gates?"

"Your future is not in the Eight Gates. If you have the time, it might be more effective to practice more ninjutsu. Every ninja has his own path. What suits others may not suit you. Even Hatake Kakashi can only use the surface lotus. After opening the door, he can't practice the rest."

Mizuki waved his hand to stop Sasuke who wanted to ask more questions.

"Your current strength is not enough to choose more directions. You should first train well in the Anbu for a while. When the time comes, Kakashi-sensei will naturally make new arrangements. This time will not be too long! When you reach the level of a jonin, the door to a new world will be open to you. Just wait patiently!"

Sasuke, who was confused, could only suppress his doubts.

"It's not safe here anymore, we have to leave quickly."

The sparks of the Thousand Conquest Order have been carried by the wind to a place not far from here. Maybe the aftermath of the battle will also be transmitted here soon. Mizuki's clones may be able to withstand it, but it's hard to say about Sasuke.

"How could that be? This place is more than five kilometers away from the battle site, right?"

"Why do you think I didn't let you get involved?"

Mizuki smiled and placed his left hand on Sasuke's right shoulder.

"Go to another place where you can watch a good show up close."

The two disappeared in an instant, and a moment later, appeared in another direction nearly twenty kilometers away.

"You're here?"

The other Mizuki clone who was waiting turned around.

"It's almost time. Do you want to come over here or should I? It looks like the main body is going to play a big game!"

"The Red Sand Scorpion is dead, Deidara is dead too, are you still not satisfied? Never mind, you go ahead, I'll leave this to you!"

"Then I'm leaving! Orochimaru is still some distance away from here, don't be careless, if something goes wrong, leave and come back after the main body is done!"

After saying that, he disappeared from this place.

Sasuke looked on with envy as Mizuki and his clones moved freely on the battlefield, taking control of the initiative in every battle and basically being invincible.

"Are you here to intercept Orochimaru? How can I help?"

"You can go and test the strength of Pharmacist Kabuto later..."

Although Kabuto Yakushi is not weak, he doesn't have any powerful killer moves. With Sasuke's level, he can still beat him with two moves. Although the possibility of winning is not great, with Mizuki here, he will not die.

“And this.”

As he spoke, Shuimu summoned the giant bear Hatajun.

"This guy is very smart. You didn't sign a psychic contract, so the control is not very flexible. You can only use simple language to control it. Don't worry that it won't understand. Of course, the main combat force is you, and my psychic beast is only auxiliary. I think you already know the advantages and disadvantages of Hata-kun."

Sasuke nodded. He had seen its power when he was in Konoha Village. It was powerful and had terrifying impact, but it did not know any ninjutsu.

"Brute strength is still a considerable fighting power. I understand."

The protection of the thick-skinned and tough summoned beast is exactly what Sasuke needs at this time, as he is strong in offense but weak in defense.

…

Tianzang, who was alert to the movements below, watched the flames of Qian Zhengling grow stronger and stronger, and the heat waves began to surge up.

"Is this technique developed to defeat the enemy or to destroy the ninja world?"

As the temperature rose, Tianzang began to sweat uncontrollably.

"If this continues, I won't be able to hold on any longer!"
