" Haruto... this Bankai indeed suits you very well. You planned everything from the beginning and executed everything perfectly.... but the only thing you did wrong was plan everything and predict my future, right.... "
" What do you mean? "
Hearing this, Haruto became confused but became even more cautious.... the closer one is to victory, the more one should be prepared for losses.
While asking, Haruto teleported the five trapped Karmic Gods, who were freed with Itachi's lack of chakra supply to them, and hid them nearby to attack at a moment's notice if something went wrong.
" GODS CAN'T BE SCHEMED...
HEAVENLY TRIBULATION. "
As Itachi said this, everyone suddenly felt a suffocating and deadly threat above them. In the sky... clouds quickly covered everything as the nearby thousands of kilometers could hear the roar of thunder.
" Everyone... attack!!! "
As Haruto said this, the other five Gods, each with a kilometer-long spear, pierced towards Itachi as Haruto also rushed towards Itachi with a huge amount of chakra concentrated in his Zanpakuto.
RUMBLEEE !!!!!
The next moment, before anyone could react, twenty-one pillars of lightning fell from the sky, each targeting a Karmic God as well as Haruto.
BOOMMMM !!!!
With a bang, all the lightning pillars pierced through the Karmic Avatars, immobilizing them while constantly destroying them. Haruto was the only one who could still move because, at the last moment, he covered himself with Lightning Chakra Armor, though he was also badly burnt by the lightning.
A few seconds later, all the pillars dissipated, but by this time, Itachi had already healed himself.
" This is not the end.... "
With Itachi's words, twenty-one lightning pillars once again fell.
SIX-PATHS WIND STYLE : BLACK WIND
SIX-PATHS SWORD STYLE : TWO WORLD SEPARATION
Seeing the golden lightning pillars once again falling, Haruto teleported multiple times with his Space-Time Jutsu, but the Lightning Tribulation also carried the hundred percent hit rate of the Domain, following Haruto.
The game of cat and mouse continued until Itachi covered the entire battlefield in Six-Paths Black Sharp Corrosive Winds. Seeing no other way, Haruto used Sword Chakra energy with his Zanpakuto as a medium to divide his nearby space into two dimensions, blocking all the attacks.
CONVERSION
Itachi, seeing this, smiled as he disturbed Haruto's defensive Jutsu. Haruto also felt the sudden interruption, but before he could counter anything, all the attacks started working on him, making him almost unconscious.
' FUCK YOU!!! '
Haruto only had this sentence while thinking of Itachi's disgusting Jutsu. To be honest... Itachi and he are each other's counters. With the high Karma difference, he is Itachi's worst enemy, and with enough stamina, he can easily take care of him.
As for him, before opening Shikai and Bankai, most of his sword moves are Super-Kage Level energy attacks, which Itachi could easily convert and nullify.
After opening Bankai, although Itachi can't convert Karmic Creatures, for him... even though his swordsmanship upgrades to Six-Paths Level, it's still mostly energy-type. { In my mind...most of Haruto's Six-paths sword attacks are like One-piece world...slashing one Sword energy after another, dividing mountains and seas not like Asuma who coats his weapon with chakra and then fights hand to hand.}
So now he just has to hold on... Itachi won't be able to use Heavenly Tribulations many times.... mind you, each round costs Itachi around twenty-one Six-Paths Level attacks worth of chakra consumption, which is too much even for Itachi.
ROUND THREE
ROUND FOUR
ROUND... FIVE
After the fifth round... the Tribulation cloud finally dissipated, while on Haruto's side, fifteen Karmic Gods had also disappeared.
Both sides couldn't show their full potential because of a lack of chakra. Heavenly Tribulations last until death unless the chakra is exhausted, and so do the Karmic Avatars, who can adapt until the strength difference between the two sides becomes too huge (Genin Avatars are easily obliterated by Itachi, but Six-Paths Level ones... Itachi couldn't even kill a single one) or, same—lack of blue points.
" Uncle Itachi.... how about ending this... in one final attack? "
Haruto said while panting. Beside him, Celebi was looking at Haruto in worry.
Itachi, who was about to teleport once again from the attacks of the Karmic Gods, began to think properly. He was confident he could exhaust Haruto before himself, but beside him, Sasuke was still mostly uninjured.....
" Okay.... "
Sasuke, who was fighting Yggdrasil nearby, hearing this also wanted to participate in this. Although fighting Yggdrasil was fun and his main purpose was over, he still wanted to defeat this Itachi before challenging the one from his world with his increased strength.
" Then why not include me? "
While saying this, Sasuke arrived beside Haruto while Niddhogg flew behind him.
" Okay. "
One Minute Later
FORBIDDEN FUSION : TEN TRILLION TON PUNCH
FORBIDDEN JUTSU : NIHILITY ANNIHILATION
FORBIDDEN FUSION YGGDRASIL : RAGNAROK
The next moment, the five Karmic Gods started fusing with each other, forming a thousand-meter-tall Karmic God who punched towards Yggdrasil.
Sasuke, on the other hand, merged with Niddhogg and concentrated all his energy into a ball of Nihility energy and, the next moment, bit it. The next moment, the entire Niddhogg was covered in intense Nihility energy, rushing towards Yggdrasil.
Itachi, on the other hand, merged into the core of Yggdrasil as he passed all his energy to it while only keeping some for defense. After doing his preparation, Itachi exploded Yggdrasil... yes, exploded it, and unlike Sagittarius, which recovers in no time, Yggdrasil's destruction is almost permanent.
The next moment, Yggdrasil started expanding, colliding with the bigger Karmic God and Sasuke's claws.
BOOMMMM BOOMMMMMM BOOMMMMMM
Five Minutes Later
The entire thousand-kilometer radius was leveled as a massive crater tens of kilometers deep and hundreds of kilometers wide was formed. Sasuke and Haruto were already unconscious, with only Celebi escaping this disaster.
Niddhogg betrayed and escaped at the last moment, feeling the death threat, leaving Sasuke with an uncontrollable Sagittarius who attacked him in anger. Being attacked on both sides, Sasuke could only save his life.
As for Itachi.... he was still conscious, just lying on the ground, feeling intense pain and tiredness. Since his transmigration to the Naruto world, this was his first life-and-death battle... though Sasuke and Haruto had no intention of killing him. He had used all his tricks and trump cards and finally had to destroy Yggdrasil....
' Sasuke is still too impatient. '
Itachi thought while looking at Sasuke lying at a distance.
Ultimately... Niddhogg is made with Moryo's soul. If Sagittarius, who had just been created, could try to control him, then why would Niddhogg, with who knows how many souls it had devoured, try to face death for Sasuke?
Even with his Mangekyo Sharingan, Perfect Control couldn't stop a Six-Paths Level God whose strength had increased drastically after merging with Sagittarius.
" Haruto with Celebi can fight me on equal terms, and Sasuke with Sagittarius and Niddhogg can also fight me on equal terms. { Just like 1+1>2, here as well 1+1+1 > 3.... it's like Sasuke became a perfect Jinchūriki with two Six-Paths Level Tailed Beasts. }
SWOSSHHH
Just then, Sagittarius, who was the only one not majorly injured, flew in front of Itachi as if inspecting something.
" I can still use Domain Expansion. "
Hearing Itachi's words, Sagittarius flew around Itachi a few times as if contemplating whether Itachi was telling the truth or not.
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOSH SSWOOOSH
Next, Sagittarius moved in different directions as if conveying something to him.
" Don't worry, I won't use you as a bomb and explode you at the end. "
SWOSH SWOOOOSH SWOOOSH SSWOOSH
" Yggdrasil is a special case. I can revive him again. Look, here is its seed. "
As Itachi said this, he took out a broken glass bead which still flashed some light from time to time.
SWOSH SWOOOOSH SWOOOSH SSWOOSH
" Okay, okay... I promise I won't use you for explosions. "
After getting repeated confirmations, Sagittarius finally trusted Itachi and sank down next to him.
Itachi held Sagittarius in his right hand while converting its energy into chakra and using that chakra to heal himself.
One Hour Later
By now, Itachi was finally able to walk and do some Jutsu as he walked towards Sasuke and Haruto, who were near death.
" HEAL..... Celebi, take them back and ask their timeline's Itachi to heal the rest. "
After confirming that they wouldn't die midway, Itachi said to Celebi, who was already a bit anxious. Although it also has healing abilities, it used all its energy in the previous attack while protecting Haruto.
" CELEBIII "
With that, Celebi opened a Space-Time Portal and entered it with Sasuke and Haruto.
" I really want to sleep... let's finish everything, and then I can peacefully sleep for a few months. "
With that, Itachi opened a Space-Time Portal to the Ninja World and within a few minutes arrived in front of Sasuke's house.
" Sasuke, let's go. "
Hearing this, Sasuke, who had been waiting in a little anticipation, nodded coolly.
Itachi, who just wanted to sleep, didn't care about his reaction and threw Sasuke into a small space pocket.
" System, let's return. "
