Chapter 174: The Ungrateful Son and Grandson
"Impossible!"
"Then, how could it be Uchiha Madara? Wasn't the rumored one dead long ago?"
Kisame shook his head in denial, truly in disbelief.
"It should be true. I can't think of anyone who could fake this pressure."
Sweat was increasing on Itachi's forehead.
The more he learned about the Sharingan and Susano'o, the more he understood the terror of that figure.
Even in his prime, Itachi hadn't been able to develop the fourth form, Susano'o with two legs.
Moreover, it was still a hundred meters wide, and a deep canyon could be cut with one slash!
Just in terms of pure chakra comparison, the other party was estimated to be ten times more than himself.
A very powerful creature.
Besides Uchiha Madara, Itachi couldn't think of anyone else.
"Really?!!"
Kisame was in a hurry.
If Madara in front of him was real, wouldn't it mean that he had been played by a fake Madara?
Damn it, how many times did people have to lie to him in this world?
Was there any sincerity left?
"Is this guy here to save you?"
"As the ancestor of the Uchiha, do you think he would come to save a sinner who slaughtered his entire people? And does it look like he's here to save me?"
Itachi was very self-aware.
He didn't expect his ancestor, Madara, to come to save an ungrateful descendant like him.
No matter why the other party was still alive or why he appeared here, it was most likely that he was here to clean up the portal.
"Itachi, can you win?"
"Kisame, if you run away now, you might still have a chance to survive."
Itachi answered honestly.
He was willing to go on an adventure with Kisame, but he didn't want Kisame to die because of him.
Especially when facing a powerful enemy that he knew he couldn't defeat, and actively seeking death.
"Itachi, do you still think I'll back down now? We are comrades in arms!"
Kisame carried Samehada fearlessly.
Now it was certain that the so-called masked Madara and the 'Moon Eye Project' were probably also a fraud, Kisame no longer had nostalgia for this fake world, so he might as well fight to the death with Itachi.
At least Itachi next to him wasn't fake.
"Kisame."
Itachi was moved, once again feeling the bond from his friends.
Unfortunately, even though he activated Susano'o, he couldn't defeat his ancestor.

"Are you finished talking? Then come up and die!"
Madara snorted coldly, the rolling sound waves startled people's hearts.
He gave them both enough time to explain their affairs, which was considered his last act of kindness to his descendants.
At this time, Madara seemed to suddenly realize something.
He frowned and scolded coldly:
"Who gave you permission to leave?"
In an instant, Susano'o drew his sword and swung it down again. The dazzling blue sword energy appeared like a full moon and slashed to the left.
The ground shattered, and another large canyon crack appeared.
And deep inside the crack, Orochimaru, who was fleeing, was also accurately hit by the sword energy, and half of his arm was cut off in place.
Even with Madara's condition of deliberately holding back his hand.
After realizing that the barrier had been broken, a powerful man suspected to be Uchiha Madara intervened, the cunning Orochimaru immediately chose to retreat.
Although Itachi and Sasuke's bodies were tempting, his life was at stake!
Uchiha Madara was the only one who could rival Senju Hashirama; Orochimaru already had a deep understanding of how powerful the First Hokage was.
He, who was clever, had no intention of overestimating his abilities and confronting Madara directly.
Get out of here first!
Unfortunately, in Madara's eyes, as a Hokage, Orochimaru behaved so cunningly, and he also tried to covet the only remaining Uchiha bloodline.
It was time for a warning.
Of course, for Hashirama's sake, face had to be given.
Madara didn't intend to kill Orochimaru, he just swung his sword as a small warning.
*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*
Orochimaru, Itachi, and Kisame jumped to the ground from the bottom of the canyon.
No one chose to run away.
Facing such a powerful enemy, if no one delayed and stopped him, running away was the same as seeking death.
"Uchiha Madara-sama?"
Orochimaru greeted with a smile, not caring about his severed right arm.
The corpse was just a vessel for him, and he also knew that if Madara wanted to kill him, that slash would have hit his head.
"You know me?"
"The only powerful person who can rival Hashirama-sama, of course, I will remember him."
"Hmph! If you're so flattering, would Hashirama agree to you becoming Hokage?"
"It's all appreciated by Tobirama-sama."
"Don't mention that guy in front of me! After all, becoming Hokage requires absolute power, not flattery like yours."
Madara warned coldly.
Because it was Hashirama's instructions, he didn't intend to interfere.
Orochimaru nodded in response, just smiled and said nothing, not angry at all.
Being flattered was one thing, but being wise was another.
Since the last time he saw the living Hashirama and Tobirama, he had been mentally prepared to meet other powerful people in history, and he also knew very well how he should treat them.
Although he, the Fifth Hokage, who would replace the Third Hokage's position, sounded grand, he was actually nothing compared to the ruthless characters at the end of the Warring States period.
❀❀❀
Then, Madara turned his attention back to Kisame and Itachi.
Itachi and Kisame instantly felt their scalps tingling, as if the aura of a killer from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had scratched through their bone marrow, and a chill bit.
"Uchiha Itachi?"
"Yes, Ancestor."
"Did you massacre the Uchiha Clan?"
"Yes!"
Madara's eyes narrowed, and his evil aura became even more threatening.
How dare he!
The courage to admit it in front of him wasn't bad.
Unfortunately, it was still far from being able to offset the sin he committed.
"Is there anything you want to explain?"
Madara finally asked.
Although far from a full-powered attack, the use of Susano'o would still significantly shorten the cooldown time.
Madara didn't have time to linger.
"It was a crime I committed, there's nothing to explain."
Itachi shook his head and admitted it honestly.
Madara's eyebrows raised slightly, anger exploded, and he shouted:
"Very good. If that's the case, go to hell!"
Madara swung his Susano'o sword, carrying the power of a storm, and slashed it again mercilessly.
He planned to personally kill this ungrateful descendant!
