That red Susanoo manifested a physical form.
Fugaku understood how much energy this demanded and shouted, "Itachi, stop."
Utilizing the Mangekyō Sharingan will lead to loss of vision.
Uchiha Itachi merely looked at him and proceeded to help the other side.
Several shinobi pursued Naraku.
Naraku's weaknesses became apparent; his body had yet to heal.
Fugaku, though weary, assisted Naraku with his Susanoo.
On Danzo's side, someone obstructed Uchiha Naraku, allowing Danzō time to retreat.
Someone approached him and employed a sealing technique to contain the Amaterasu flames.
The Uchiha managed to repel the Root shinobi.
Regarding Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Naraku pointed this out to Uchiha Fugaku and others who hurried to his side.
Everyone present was taken aback.
"Why are Shisui's eyes here?"
"Did Danzo eliminate Shisui?"
Fugaku recalled what Naraku had said earlier.
Did Uchiha Shisui ever use these eyes to manipulate him?
He thought of Itachi once more.
Uchiha Itachi was behaving oddly.
Was he being controlled by Danzo?
This would pose a significant problem.
The Mangekyō Sharingan's powers weren't something that could be easily resolved.
Uchiha Naraku eyed Uchiha Itachi.
If he is truly under Danzo's influence, there's no need to fear the threat of Shisui's eyes.
However, there might be two eyes, so regardless, he shouldn't act recklessly.
On the other hand, Shimura Danzō wore a grim expression.
He hadn't anticipated that the other side was also aware of this ability, and with Uchiha Fugaku and the others having defeated their adversaries, the pressure on him intensified.
Suppressing the pain from earlier burns, he inwardly cursed Hiruzen for being so ineffectual and glared at Naraku, who had put some distance between himself and Danzō.
The prevailing circumstances had turned unfavorable for them.
Observing Uchiha Itachi battling the Nine Tails, he realized that he couldn't assist here.
It is true that he lacks a second Mangekyō Sharingan, but this doesn't prevent him from saying things to intimidate them.
"Don't think you've won. Since you eliminated Hiruzen, the Mangekyō Sharingan that was meant for him will be directed at you."
Uchiha Itachi was initially aligned with Danzo, and he intended to utilize him to annihilate the Uchiha.
However, the Uchiha clan suddenly seized control of the Nine Tails, prompting him to believe that Itachi had betrayed him, leading him to launch an attack.
Danzō then proceeded to utilize his Mangekyō to control Itachi's mind.
With Itachi's talents, this can be regarded as a smart transaction.
Otherwise, Itachi would align with the Uchiha.
Fortunately, Itachi has now become part of his Root.
The nearby scene was chaotic. The Tapir and Susano cooperatively subdued the Nine Tails.
Uchiha Naraku cast a glance at Fugaku.
This was originally the adversary intended for Uchiha Itachi.
Now it is the moment to ascertain whether Itachi is under control.
Naraku instructed Fugaku, "Watch his eyes. Keep attacking."
Continue to exert Fugaku's eye powers.
Uchiha Fugaku, who had paused his fight momentarily, nodded and reactivated his Susanoo, entering the second stage.
However, this exerted significant strain on him, causing his eyes to begin bleeding.
"Team leader," Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Tekka, and the others couldn't help but express their concerns.
"I'm fine. If I fall under his control, you have my permission to kill me."
Fugaku moved towards Shimura Danzō and the group of elite shinobi accompanying him.
Uchiha Naraku stated, "You all assist me in dealing with the Root ninja first."
As he spoke, several Flying Thunder God kunai were flung out.
The Uchiha members nodded. Most had minor wounds and were able to continue the battle.
Shimura Danzō's side had been prepared. Uchiha Naraku now focused on the Nine Tails' side.
The Nine Tails let out constant roars, clearly suffering severe injuries.
Uchiha Naraku commanded the Nine Tails to counterattack Uchiha Itachi, driving him back.
A long, deep trench was carved into the ground, and his Susanoo shattered into pieces.
When Uchiha Itachi got back up to continue obstructing the Nine Tails, a figure appeared before him; his scarlet Sharingan revealed his identity.
