Little Sasuke scrambled to the front of the group and shoved Big Sasuke aside. Seeing this, Itachi silently took a step back.
Technically speaking, Big Sasuke should've gone first, but he didn't want to argue with his younger self. He had already decided to let Little Sasuke take the lead.
But Little Sasuke charged forward like a wild bull, slamming Big Sasuke to the ground—prompting Mikoto and Fugaku to laugh heartily.
Itachi couldn't watch anymore and finally stepped in.
Even so, Mikoto and Fugaku were full of affection for their son from another timeline. They simply smiled and stepped back to give him space.
Just as the family was basking in rare warmth and harmony, Little Sasuke had already crouched beside Danzo. He leaned in close and slapped him across the face.
"Whoosh~"
A gust of wind blew… but nothing happened.
Sasuke, who had already struck a smug pose, suddenly froze.
Why hasn't he reacted?
Where's the satisfying smack?!
Smack!
His palm, swinging with force, passed straight through Danzo's incorporeal head—and hit Sasuke's own face instead.
He fell backward with a yelp.
Everyone around burst out laughing.
Even Danzo—who had previously been silent with eyes shut—suddenly laughed out loud.
"HAHAHAHA!"
"You tried to slap me and ended up slapping yourself? Serves you right!"
Little Sasuke clutched his stinging cheek. Danzo's mocking laughter stung even more than the physical pain.
It wasn't just embarrassment—it was humiliation. His cheeks flushed bright red.
"Ahem. Sasuke, if you can't land a hit, use genjutsu…" Uchiha Hikaru couldn't bear to watch anymore and finally offered a reminder.
Sasuke's eyes lit up with inspiration. His three-tomoe Sharingan spun to life.
Face still bearing the fresh slap mark, he rushed back in front of Danzo with a deranged grin.
"Danzo, right? Just wait—Uchiha Sasuke's about to love you real good."
"Genjutsu: Night Cruise Technique!"
Danzo's surroundings twisted violently. The world turned crimson and black—a blood-soaked illusionary realm. Four massive black iron spikes pierced through him, suspending him mid-air. Pain erupted from every nerve.
"AAAAAGGHHHH!!"
"You damned Uchiha brat! I should've killed you and gouged out your Sharingan!"
Sasuke slowly walked up and slapped him hard with his tiny hand.
"What the hell are you barking for?"
"To mess with powerful people, you need power and backing. Understand?"
He drew his right arm back, legs bracing into a deep lunge. Then—WHIP!
SMACK!
SMACK!
SMACK!
The slaps echoed inside the illusion. Though he couldn't physically feel the strikes, the sight and sound brought Sasuke euphoric satisfaction.
The thrill was too much. Sasuke suddenly leapt into a wide stance, legs spread, arms at his waist like a martial artist preparing for a finisher.
"COOL!"
Then, inspiration struck again. His smile twisted into something wicked.
In front of Danzo, he crafted an illusion of Sarutobi Hiruzen—complete with Jiraiya's awkward smirk. Illusory Hiruzen walked behind Danzo, chuckling lewdly.
Genjutsu Hiruzen: "Danzo, we're like brothers… sharing the same pants. Let's get… intimate."
Danzo's eyes went wide in horror as a chill raced up his spine. He turned his head—
"H-Hiruzen! NO, don't—!"
"Mmm~ Danzo, you smell amazing."
"AAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Danzo's anguished scream echoed through the illusion realm.
Sasuke turned his back to him, arms crossed, basking in the satisfaction.
Bad guys should be punished by other bad guys. That uncle who watched all those dramas with Naruto really taught me something!
"Uchiha Sasuke!! Even if I become a ghost, I'll never forgive you!!"
"I'll drink your blood and gnaw your bones!"
"I curse the Uchiha Clan for eternity!!!"
Sasuke chuckled without even turning around.
"Le~ You're enjoying yourself too much. Mixing up your words like that? Did you fail the language exam in ninja school?"
"So you did get in through connections."
"Wouldn't it be poetic if your old 'best friend' came in through your backdoor now?"
Danzo's screams continued until Sasuke's chakra and ocular power ran dry. At last, he released the illusion, gasping for breath.
But he wasn't done yet.
Before Danzo could even recover, Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinnegan activated. He leapt onto Danzo's back and began stomping.
Over and over and over.
"HAHAHA! Danzo, you never saw this coming!"
"Ah~! AH~! AHHH~!"
"Even I didn't see this coming!"
"Who the hell are you? I never even wronged you!"
"WHO AM I?!"
"I'm your goddamn mom!"
"Bah! A cowardly traitor like you doesn't deserve to be my kid!"
"Shut your damn mouth and take the beating, why are you screaming NIMA?!"
"Uchiha SLAP! Uchiha RIGHT HOOK! Uchiha TURN-BACK SPIN!"
"Uchiha TWIN DRAGONS OUTTA HELL! Uchiha TORNADO PARKING LOT SMASH! Uchiha BANANA PUNCH!"
"Uchiha KICK! Uchiha CROTCH KICK!"
"And the final move—Konoha Village's sacred Taijutsu secret passed down by Kakashi-sensei!"
"THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!!!"
Unlike the illusion, every single hit now slammed into Danzo's spiritual core. He howled in unbearable agony.
"AAAGHHH~!! @#￥%—!!!"
Above the dungeon, an Uchiha passing by suddenly shivered.
"Who's Lord Hikaru torturing down there?"
"No clue. But judging by how many went in… someone must've really pissed him off."
"Serves 'em right. Lord Hikaru's such a gentle and noble man. If he's angry… it must be deserved."
With a solemn nod, the Uchiha silently activated a Silencing Barrier, then walked away like nothing had happened.
Finally, Sasuke let out a long breath and wiped sweat from his brow. His whole body tingled with exhaustion and relief.
He sat down, grabbed a hot cup of tea, and took a slow sip.
"Whew… that was satisfying. Nii-san, your turn."
Itachi stepped forward and looked down on Danzo with disdain.
"P-please… for the sake of our past working together in Root… just kill me…"
Without a word, Itachi summoned his Susanoo. From the Totsuka Blade, a thin, burning-red spiritual edge extended—ten centimeters long, and as thick as a finger.
He ran the blade lightly across Danzo's face.
"I've waited a long time for this. You think I'd let you die so easily?"
"If I kill you now, how will our mother and father vent their fury?"
