"Die!"
Seeing that the blade was about to strike Uchiha Itachi, Izumi was filled with excitement at washing away his shame and getting revenge, and his vigilance unconsciously dropped considerably.
But just as she began to laugh, she suddenly realized that Uchiha Itachi's back had turned into her front, and his previously closed eyes had opened, revealing a chilling gaze.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened, and his usually indifferent voice was now somewhat excited. This was an opportunity he had painstakingly created.
When Izumi used her Mangekyou Sharingan to fight back, Itachi realized he couldn't delay any longer, especially since Izumi had plenty of backup. Therefore, he devised a plan, using the impact of Amaterasu's flames and ice as cover while employing a transformation technique. He turned his front into his back, intending to draw Izumi's attack.
When Izumi gets close, he'll choose the right moment to unleash a full-blown Tsukuyomi attack, completely defeating and controlling her. This is the escape plan Itachi Uchiha devised. Judging from what we just saw, Izumi Uchiha is clearly Hyuga Kaze's woman now. Hyuga Kaze will probably give up the pursuit for her sake, since he's refrained from specifically targeting him for that woman's sake.
Even Itachi Uchiha wasn't entirely confident about this plan. Fortunately, the billowing mist, flames, and ice concealed Izumi's transformation.
In fact, when she turned around and slashed out, Izumi already sensed something was wrong. After seeing Itachi's eyes, she immediately tried to close them, but it was too late.
"Damn it!"
Izumi wasn't worried about her own safety; she was just annoyed that she was about to embarrass herself in front of Lady Yukage. Just then, a beautiful smile bloomed on Izumi's face, for a broad and powerful figure appeared before her.
Itachi thought his painstaking plan had finally succeeded, but in an instant he suddenly felt that Tsukuyomi was blocked by a mirror, and not only was it blocked, but an even stronger force rebounded from it.
At this moment, Itachi saw Hyuga Kaze's figure. Having already suffered a loss, Itachi quickly closed his eyes and retreated rapidly.
But it was all too late. Itachi's retreating movement froze after taking only half a step, and then his body fell straight down, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground.
Holding Izumi's smooth body, Hinata Kaze slowly landed. With a casual wave of his left hand, the flames and ice in the sky suddenly disappeared as if they had never existed, leaving only remnants on the ground.
"Lord Yukage, Izumi was careless this time. Please let me try again. I'm sure I can do it!"
Nestled in Hinata Kaze's arms, Izumi felt both happy and resentful. She was so close to success!
"No need, Izumi, you've already proven your strength. The difference between you and Itachi Uchiha lies more in combat experience and the advantage/disadvantage of the Mangekyou Sharingan, not in your ability. Izumi, your body belongs to me, and it would break my heart if you got hurt!"
As she spoke, Hinata Kaze forcefully slapped Izumi's towering back hill, then gave her a look that said, "I'll deal with you when we get back."
"Let's get rid of this disgusting thing in front of us quickly!"
Hissing...
Across from Hyuga Kaze, Uchiha Itachi struggled to get up from the ground, looking as if he had experienced some terrible nightmare, his mind in a daze.
His entire body was soaked in sweat, and the cold touch made Itachi shiver involuntarily. He staggered and barely managed to straighten up, panting heavily as if trying to banish the terrifying dream from his mind.
In fact, Itachi had just experienced an incredibly terrifying nightmare. In the dream, he was transported back to the night of the massacre of his clan, a night he would never forget.
And then he saw those familiar figures again, those clansmen who had died at his hands. Their bodies were mutilated, covered in blood, as if they had crawled out of hell. They surrounded the weasel, their faces contorted in rage, hurling angry curses and shouts.
"You beast, is this how you treat your own people!"
"If you want to kill ninjas, fine, but why should we ordinary people who sell baked buns also have to attack?"
Another person cried out; it was an old man with a hunched back, his voice filled with endless sorrow and despair.
"And my grandson! He's not even three months old! How could you, you beast, do such a thing!"
An old man standing nearby spoke in a trembling voice, his eyes revealing deep sorrow and anger.
Itachi wanted to fight, but he found he couldn't control his body at all, not even open his mouth. He could only stand there helplessly, letting his clansmen curse and shout.
As the Uchiha clan members continued their curses, more and more blood flowed from their bodies, and their faces became increasingly contorted. Their voices coalesced into piercing notes, as if trying to penetrate Itachi's eardrums and strike his very soul.
The blood flowing from their bodies accumulated into a vast lake of blood, engulfing the Uchiha clan members. Even as they were submerged, they continued to curse and desperately reach out to drag Itachi Uchiha down.
The blood-red lake water seemed to have a life of its own, stretching out sticky arms that tightly wrapped around the weasel's body.
Finally, Itachi was slowly swallowed up by the sticky, terrifying lake of blood. He felt the blood gradually spreading up, pressing against his chest, making him feel incredibly suffocated.
The blood continued to seep into his body through his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, as if trying to completely fill him. He felt his consciousness gradually fading, as if he were being swallowed by the endless darkness.
It wasn't until Itachi had been soaking in the blood lake filled with severed limbs and remains for a long time, choking on the terrifying blood and on the verge of death, that he awoke from that horrifying illusion.
The dream, though only lasting a moment, made Itachi feel more exhausted than anything he had ever experienced before.
"Hmph, isn't this supposed to be my battle with Uchiha Izumi? Does the great Yukage-sama intend to go back on his word?"
Struggling to steady his limp body, Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes and looked at Hyuga Kaze, his expression seemingly carrying a hint of disdainful mockery. Since it didn't matter whether he closed his eyes or not when facing this enemy, Itachi simply kept them open to observe, trying his best to buy time and find an opportunity.
"Heh, your battle with Izumi is over. Now it's our turn to fight."
Hyuga Kaze was completely unfazed by Itachi's provocation, looking at Itachi as if he were an ant.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Go all out! If you can withstand one of my palm strikes, I won't make things difficult for you today!"
With his right hand around Izumi's slender waist and his left hand slowly raised, Hinata Kaze's words were as firm as a mountain.
Itachi steadied himself, realizing that the situation was beyond repair and that he could only think about the future after overcoming this hurdle.
Ignoring his blurred vision and the continuous pain in his head, Itachi Uchiha glared angrily, two streams of bloody tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
"Susanoo!"
