"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Mazo!" Tobi was greatly shocked. He didn't expect Konan to be so skilled in using the transplanted Visual Jutsu. Immediately, he summoned a massive Gedo Mazo, each figure of a gigantic tailed beast appeared, controlled by Tobi, simultaneously opening their mouths to condense and shoot Tailed Beast Bombs towards the Dark Susanoo.
"Get lost." Konan's face darkened; how dare they hinder her? It seemed as though the Dark Susanoo sensed Konan's anger; its power increased even more. With a flip, the entire colossal body stomped on the Susanoo beneath its feet. Speeding up the destruction, it smashed all the incredibly powerful Tailed Beast Bombs with a single punch.
"If you're so eager to die, I'll fulfill your wish. Dark Three Divine Arts: Cornerstone of Zero!" The Dark Susanoo was enveloped in a circular black darkness, forming a massive black sphere that shot out a terrifying black beam towards Tobi and the Gedo Mazo under his feet, devastating everything in its path.
Amid Tobi's terrified screams, the Gedo Mazo and Tobi were instantly submerged by the black light. The space where the attack landed immediately emitted a crisp sound; the space struck by Nullification had shattered.
"Now, it's your turn, Sasuke." Konan looked at Sasuke, who had lost his Susanoo's protection due to the overwhelming force of the Dak Three Divine Arts, with a contemptuous smile.
"Sasuke!" Naruto, who was battling Ryoha alongside the Great Toad Sage and Great White Snake Sage, saw this scene and wanted to help but was punched away by Ryoha. "You're always saying the same thing. It's getting old," Ryoha thought to himself.
"Damn it, out of my way!" Revived through the Edo Tensei and freed from its control using Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi's eyes immediately showed a drastic change in expression. He wanted to go there, but even without the burden of a physical body, possessing an unkillable body and unlimited chakra was useless. He was facing Kurenai; his Mangekyou Sharingan, his genjutsu, his visual jutsu were utterly feeble against Kurenai. A gentle poke could shatter them.
Despite how formidable his body was, difficult to kill, Itachi's spirit and soul were as vulnerable as any ordinary person's. In the battle of genjutsu, his spirit had been ravaged countless times by Kurenai. While his body remained unharmed, his spirit was deeply wounded. If Kurenai didn't want to kill Itachi quickly, he might have died countless times already.
"If you have the ability to make me move, then show it." Having just used the Mental Storm to crush Itachi's Susanoo and Three Divine Artifacts, Kurenai sneered. She actually wanted him to move. Who does he think he is?
"No choice. Izanami!" Itachi's expression turned cold. He was already dead, but he absolutely wouldn't allow anything to happen to his younger brother. He used the visual jutsu that was on par with Izanagi at the cost of an eye, sending a surging spiritual energy with immense visual jutsu towards Kurenai's spirit.
"Is this all you've got? Is this your strongest genjutsu? That's nothing." When it came to spiritual energy training, Kurenai was terrifying. Even though Ryoha and Tsunade didn't directly practice secret techniques involving spiritual energy, Kurenai did. She trained every day, constantly improving.
As Kurenai had a thought, an overwhelmingly destructive spiritual energy, as substantial as a mountain torrent, erupted from her body. And Itachi's Izanami, like a barrier against the torrent, was just like a weak sandbag against the flood, utterly weak and unable to withstand it, instantly crumbling under the pressure.
"Ah!!" Revived through the Edo Tensei, the body might not fear harm, but the spirit was different. Itachi still had a soul. Being hit by a Jounin-level genjutsu was already painful. Not to mention the Izanami, a genjutsu that cost an eye to activate. Being hit and rebounded was extraordinarily excruciating.
"I remember a long time ago, when I was still a Jounin, you rebounded my genjutsu. Now, I'm rebounding your Izanami. Consider it tit for tat, revenge fulfilled. Don't worry; you're already dead. I won't torment you too much. After all, I have no reason to be angry with a dead person. Since you love your brother so much, I'll let you both return to the underworld together."
"Kurenai waved her hand, and her spiritual energy swept out like an invisible whip, blocking all the ninjas' jutsu from the five great nations coming towards her. Simultaneously, she condensed another sword-shaped spiritual energy, sweeping continuously, instantly severing the heads of numerous ninja who couldn't see spiritual energy or whose abilities were subpar. They had no idea how they died. This eerie scene sent chills down the nearby ninja's spines.
Suddenly, Itachi found himself losing control of his body, floating in mid-air, gaining a clear view of his brother's situation.
"So this is the power of the famous Yuhi Shinku's physical manifestation of the spiritual energy, who once shook the ninja world, reputed to be the most potent genjutsu master. I never had the chance to experience it in life, but I do in death. It's indeed a terrifying genjutsu. Even my Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu, which cost me an eye, was rebounded."
The one remaining eye of Itachi stared intently at Kurenai. He was a genjutsu master, amplified by the Mangekyou. Apart from the battle against Ryoha, his genjutsu was always unbeatable, formidable, and unassailable. But unexpectedly, he was incredibly fragile in front of Kurenai. Indeed, she was the true master of genjutsu. No wonder the legend of the Eight Colors of Konoha had been suppressed and restrained by other nations; their strength and reputation were equally remarkable.
The Uchihas' pride was nothing in front of Yuhi Clan. Before her, this pride could only be trampled upon.
"Of course, the Yuhi clan is the most potent genjutsu family in the ninja world. Even the Uchiha have to step aside for me," Kurenai proudly declared. She knew that after this battle.
The declining Yuhi clan would once again shake the entire ninja world, and it was because of her, Yuhi Kurenai, alone. Her father and mother, watching from the heavens, would be smiling. She had surpassed generations of Yuhi clan leaders, rekindling the Yuhi clan's peak. Her reputation even exceeded that of her father during his prime.
"Izanagi!" Just as Konan intended to dig out Sasuke's eyes and kill him in one go, Tobi, who had been struck by Konan's Dark Divine Art, unexpectedly emerged. However, his last eye was gone, and he once again used Izanagi, the jutsu that cost an eye.
