Chapter 267: Chapter 267: You Get to Live

As the black and white spheres of energy touched, they created a violent reaction.

The sphere was rotating at a tremendously fast pace and emitting a sharp noise that grew louder every second.

This was the Yata Mirror, a legendary artifact believed to be capable of blocking any attack.

Naruto moved faster than the speed of sound and positioned himself on the other side of the battlefield.

In an instant, he allowed the 'Eight Gates' inside his body to open at the same time. Swirls of energy formed two spheres, one before his right palm and one before his left.

"I believe it's my turn to attack," Naruto said as he extended both hands at his sides.

Itachi raised the Susanoo's shield to protect himself from what was coming. He could barely see what Naruto had created, but his instincts were screaming at him to get away.

Naruto and all of its characters belong to Shueisha and Masashi Kishimoto.

Itachi's ethereal blade was only stopped momentarily, as Naruto noticed that it seemed to be removing the wind itself from its path.

At that moment, Naruto moved his hands together.

"Thoughts'

Or so he thought.

Itachi snapped his head in the direction of the sound, and his vision began to return slowly.

Itachi's vision went dark, his last thoughts about his little brother and how he had failed to both protect him and avenge him.

"Sage Arts... Wind Barrier!" Naruto created a series of interlocking currents of wind that pushed against each other and anything that tried to approach him.

"Maybe, but we'll need to bring you back to Konoha for proper treatment, Itachi. What do you say?" "I'm... alive?"

"Dialogue"

"You are sick," Naruto added.

A massive sword appeared in the empty hand of the giant, and it brought the blade down upon Naruto at lightning speed.

"Not many of my opponents get to say that, but yes... you are."

The Totsuka Blade, wielded by the Susanoo, was able to seal anything it touched. If he could get a good hit on Naruto, he could end this fight in an instant.

'That sword seems to have some nasty ability too. I better not let it touch me,' he thought.

"You never expected to win this battle, did you? You wanted to die, and you wanted me to do it, for some reason," Naruto told him.

I own nothing but the original characters I create.

The chakra giant moved its massive body and brought the blade down on Naruto.

There was a shield on the left hand, while the right one was empty.

'I'll have to apologize in the next life if I have the chance...! Those were his last thoughts.

Itachi opened his eyes. The sunlight blinded him and confused him at the same time.

There was a large black sphere in Naruto's hands. Pure white lines ran inside it, moving almost like lightning bolts, piercing the darkness within.

"You wanted to see more, Naruto? My Susanoo will be the last thing you see," Itachi exclaimed before attacking again.

"Yin-Yang Release... Rasengan Blast!"

"A giant construct made of chakra? Let me take a better look." Naruto avoided the hand and flew to one side.

Itachi noticed the change, but from his position, he had no way of knowing that Naruto had just used one of Konoha's deadliest kinjutsu.

He was lying down with his back against some sort of broken wall. Naruto was sitting on top of a rock, just a few feet away from him.

A.N: - Remember to comment, vote, and/or leave a review if you have the time. Those things help me a lot and I would really appreciate it.

This revealed the complete figure of the golden chakra giant.

-Author notes-

"I'm not a healer, so I can't help you with that. But Tsunade is quite good at it," Naruto said, looking to his side. "Is there something you can do about that?"

Naruto's eyes snapped into focus, looking at the figure of his opponent.

"Used?..." Itachi didn't understand.

His eyes had lost most of their light, his vision was blurry at best, and he felt exhausted.

This was... until today, at least.

One of the spheres emitted a pure white light, while the other seemed to be encased in darkness.

Itachi coughed a few times. "I am more than sick... and I have nothing left. You should have let me die. I won't last long anyway."

Itachi watched in shock as cracks appeared on the shield in front of him. The black and white beam of energy that Naruto had shot at him was also rotating at an impossible speed, destroying his most powerful defense in the process.

It looked humanoid in shape, with two large arms but no visible legs. Only the torso seemed to be coming

out of the ground, while Itachi himself was inside the belly of the construct.

The blade of the Susanoo was not allowed to get any closer and was instead pushed back by an immensely powerful shockwave generated by Naruto's technique.

"Ah..." He hadn't anticipated that Naruto would realize that or even consider it. From what he knew about him, Naruto would kill anyone who made a move against him, regardless of their motivations.

Not willing to let him finish his preparations, Itachi moved his chakra construct to strike at him again. He heard Naruto's voice coming from his side.

"Why..." That was the first thing he wanted to know. Why was he alive? Why wasn't he killed?

A beam of pure energy shot out from his hands and instantly hit the shield that the Susanoo was holding.

His pure chakra began to flow violently, like water pouring from a broken dam, and Naruto felt like he was brimming with energy.

"Lady Tsunade?!" Itachi recognized the form of the Legendary Sannin next to him.

"That's..." Itachi had a worried expression on his face as he looked at what Naruto was doing.

He only had a couple of seconds to contemplate the scene before his legendary shield gave in, allowing

Naruto's attack to pass through and obliterate everything in its path.

A powerful gust of wind pushed away all the black smoke and extinguished the remaining flames in the

process.

He then brought his hands together. "Great Breakthrough!"

"It was a fun fight. But I don't appreciate being used," Naruto said with a serious expression on his face.
