Chapter 557: White Dragon Sage Kabuto
Itachi quickly falls back and makes a series of hand signs. He grabs Sasuke's 'Yata no Kagami' shield and pairs it with his 'Yata Mirror Shield'.
The last mark of the 'Senjutsu seal' fades away as Itachi infuses all the stored nature energy in the shield.
A multi-layer elemental barrier forms in front of him. The Yasaka's eyes shine with a bright green glow.
Kabuto also finishes charging his attack and fires a giant purple orb of energy toward Sasuke and Itachi.
BOOM
A bright flash of light engulfs Sasuke and Itachi. The force of the collision pushes away all the air particles in the surroundings.
Cracks appear on the multi-layer elemental barrier as soon as it makes contact with the purple energy orb. Itachi's Susanoo is pushed back by the force of the attack.
The ground beneath his feet crumbles from pressure and pushes him further into the ground.
Bang bang bang bang
Four elemental shields shatter in a fraction of a second.
Bleugh
Itachi spews out a mouthful of blood. The powerful shockwaves from the attacks hurt his internal organs.
Bang
The final elemental barrier also shatters, and the energy orb strikes the shield directly. The eyes of the Yasaka dim down, and the impact hurls away the shield.
Bang
It slams into the ground at some distance away from the Susanoo. Itachi's Susanoo pushes its 'Yata Mirro Shield' with all its hands.
Crack Crack
Cracks appear on the Yata shield. Itachi's Susanoo slowly caves in and the cracks spread across its entire body.
BOOM
The purple of energy explodes and a giant mushroom cloud rises towards the sky. The explosion engulfs Itachi's Susanoo and half of it alongside the 'Yata Mirror Shield' is blown away by the explosion.
Rumble Rumble
Rocks, dust, and debris fly everywhere and even a hole appears in the clouds above.
The shockwaves from the explosion further spread the surrounding black flames to engulf the entire area.
"Let's leave the place!"
Gojo immediately makes a decision. The anbu group, the captive, and the members of the Uzu clan escape the forest with the help of Yuri's barrier which can repel the black flames and block the shockwaves.
Yuri's face turns pale due to the continuous depletion of her chakra.
The group finally exits the forest to arrive on a small hill. They climb the hill and glance at the aftermath of the explosion from a distance.
A dense patch of black flames covers the entire forest, burning all trees and razing the ground to nothingness.
"Nii-san!"
The dust settles down to reveal Sasuke and Itachi. Itachi is leaning on Sasuke's body for support.
Sasuke reinforces Itachi's Susanoo with his chakra. Both their Susanoo combines to form a half-orange, half-purple humanoid figure.
Almost fifty percent of the forest turned to dust after the previous explosion.
The giant snake licks its lips and the two heads on the left and right combine to form two thicker heads with more horns on their body.
Currently, the giant snake has three heads, and each head is hissing at the duo. With the combination of the two heads, Kabuto's chakra rises by another level.
"We can't allow him to fuse his remaining three heads," Itachi exclaims anxiously.
The right purple arm of the Susanoo extends its hand to create a giant purple bow while the left orange left arm also extends its arm and generates six giant 'Yasaka Magatamas' beads.
The giant 'Yasaka Magatama' beads convert into six arrows. Sasuke knocks these arrows on his bow and fires them toward the giant snake.
Hiss
The giant snake opens its mouth and fires two uncharged purple orbs of energy.
BOOM
The two orbs and the arrow collide and explode in the sky. Two more arrows fly out of the explosion, aiming for the central head.
Bang
The giant snake swats the first arrow with its tail. The arrow explodes and leaves a flesh wound on the tail. Smoke rises from the tail as a portion of it gets blown.
The snake avoids the fourth arrow by ducking down.
Boom
The arrow strikes a mountain in the distance and explodes. The explosion blows the peak of the mountain, creating an avalanche.
Fwoosh fwoosh
The remaining arrows close the gap and arrive on top of the central head.
ROOAR
The central head releases a dragon roar and blows them away with a white beam of chakra.
The eyes and the aura of the snake dim down as the remaining two heads slowly fuse with it.

Back at the InY HQ,
"I see! So, that's what you are aiming for, Kabuto!" Izuna nods.
'After several modifications to your body and merging your body with the white snake bloodline, you became a full-blown descendant of the White snake with the potential to evolve into a white dragon.' Izuna clicks his tongue.
'Now wonder that old hag from the Ryuchi cave was so protective of you. If you turn into a full fledge dragon, then the status of the Ryuchi cave will alleviate further and the origin energy of the planet will gather at Ryuchi cave. Mount Myoboku is already a sacred place with abundant Origin energy since 'the old Toad geezer Gamamaru' taught 'Senjutsu' to Hagoromo and gained good Karma after the latter turned into a deity.
So, the old snake hag also wants to repeat the same process with Kabuto since he has the potential to become a deity. The Ryuchi cave wants a 'White Dragon Sage' of their own. However, Kabuto'
Izuna shakes his head as he observes Kabuto combine the remaining three heads into one to turn into a true dragon.
'You underestimated Sasuke and Itachi and overestimated yourself.'
Bzzt Crackle crackle
Lightning flickers across the cloud.
Bang bang
Several bolts of lightning strike the ground. The black clouds cover a vast expanse of almost fifty square km.
Crackle crackle
Arcs of deep purple lightning jump around Sasuke's body. He slowly opens his eyes and white lightning flickers across them.
Sasuke raises his hand in the air and fires a bolt of purple lightning toward the sky.
RUMBLE RUMBLE
A gigantic vortex of clouds appears in the sky. The giant vortex absorbs a large amount of nature energy from the surrounding.
BOOM
A giant bolt of lightning falls from the sky and strikes the ground to create a massive crater.
ROARR
A gigantic purple lightning wolf jumps out of the crater. The giant wolf has white lightning as its mane and there are deep purple horns on its forehead.
AWOO
THE wolf releases a roar toward the sky.
Bzzt Boom Boom
Several lightning bolts fall from the sky and turn into small blue lightning wolfs.
AWOO
The wolf howls and leads its lightning wolf pack to charge toward Kabuto.
"Sage Art: Tempest Release: Ten'n-arashi-Raij (Heaven Maelstrom Charge of Thunder God Raiju)
Just before Kabuto's three snake heads complete their fusion and transformation to a true dragon, Sasuke's jutsu strikes him.
BOOOMMMM
A massive pillar of lightning, measuring a few hundred meters, rises in the sky. A ring of lightning, thunder, and storm explodes at the point of contact.
Rumble Rumble
Bolts of lightning flicker across the ground and shatter it into fine dust.
A massive hole of several hundred meters forms at the zero point. Purple lightning continues to pour out from the hole and flicker across the surface.
Rumble rumble
Lightning continues to strike the area, and heavy rain pours down from the sky.
Sasuke's and Itachi's Susanoo slowly disperse. Both of them fall to the ground, exhausted.
"Sasuke!"
"Itachi!"
Both brothers support each other and glance at the bottomless pit. They slowly walk towards the pit and glance at the bottomless abyss.
"Is Kabuto dead?" Sasuke speaks his thought.
"If he is dead, then the Edo-Tensei" Itachi sighs.
"He isn't dead!" Izuna's voice echoes in their head.
AH!
The sudden voice startles Itachi and Sasuke in their head. Both glance at each other and speaks.
"This familiar voice!"
"It's me, your elder brother Izuna," Izuna confirms their suspicion.
"Also, Kabuto isn't dead yet!"
Rumble Rumble
The ground in front of them suddenly trembles and slowly a massive dragon with a crown-shaped horn rises from the pit.
Sasuke and Itachi's expression turns ugly at the sight of the massive white dragon.
