"Itachi!"
Sasuke spun around abruptly, intense hatred etched on his youthful face.
However,
unlike before, having just gained some room for thought after reading the secret letter, his hatred was tinged with a hint of hesitation.
"My foolish younger brother, such a loathsome gaze!"
Uchiha Itachi's expression was cold, and he frowned, saying, "I actually saw hesitation in your eyes. Is the hatred I gave you not enough? If so… you won't be able to cultivate a perfect eye."
He felt uneasy.
The hypnotic suggestion he released shouldn't have gone wrong. Could it be that someone told Sasuke something?
Sasuke opened his crimson Sharingan, staring intently at Uchiha Itachi, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You, who killed the entire Uchiha Clan, sparing neither old nor young, why have you returned to the village?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Uchiha Itachi said coldly, "Right now, you are not even worthy of my interest. Come and question me when you possess the same eyes as me."
"I don't need those eyes at all!"
Sasuke looked at him with resentment. He believed that even without those evil eyes that required killing one's closest relatives to awaken, he could still achieve his revenge.
Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly and said, "It seems your hatred is still not deep enough."
What's going on?
Sasuke, who was kept in the dark, should have been driven by hatred to constantly grow stronger and seek to kill him.
This was the path to strength he had guided him towards, but he didn't expect a mistake to occur now. It seemed Sasuke's pursuit of power wasn't very strong.
Why?
It seemed he had to make Sasuke recall the memories of being consumed by hatred.
Sasuke let out an angry roar, "Father, Mother, and the Uchiha Clan… Why did you kill them?!"
He wanted to know the truth.
"Someone did tell you something, foolish younger brother."
Uchiha Itachi noticed his reaction and immediately sensed something was amiss, though he remained outwardly calm, saying, "What do you know?"
Sasuke suppressed his anger and growled, "With your strength, it's impossible for you to have killed everyone silently!"
"So what?"
Uchiha Itachi remained expressionless and said, "You, who can't even defeat me, what can you do?"
He turned slightly, revealing the tall figure of Kisame Hoshigaki.
"All my companions are S-rank rogue ninja from the Ninja World. Forget the Uchiha Clan, we can even hunt down Kage."
He didn't want Sasuke's hatred to implicate the village.
Later, his younger brother would understand his painstaking efforts.
"Is that so?"
Sasuke swayed as he walked forward, a longsword in his hand, and said, "None of that matters. No matter the reason, I must kill you. It is with this resolve that I have lived until now!"
He could tell Uchiha Itachi wanted to hide something, but it didn't matter; the fact that he killed his father and the Uchiha Clan was undeniable.
This alone was unforgivable.
"Too weak…"
Uchiha Itachi raised his eyelids, about to continue stirring Sasuke's hatred, but then he realized the other party had already vanished from his spot.
Clang.
Bandages scattered.
Samehada, with its spikes splayed open, blocked the descending longsword, sending sparks flying.
"Itachi-sensei, don't be careless. Your younger brother's strength is not right."
Kisame Hoshigaki gripped Samehada with both hands, feeling the immense force transmitted through it, and his expression subtly changed.
Such astonishing power.
He hadn't heard of Uchiha Clan ninja excelling in taijutsu?
Moreover, Sasuke was still so young, his body not yet fully developed. Could it be he was using some secret jutsu to enhance his body?
"I understand."
Uchiha Itachi was also surprised, and he pulled out a kunai, thrusting it towards Sasuke's chest.
He hadn't even had a chance to utter the lines he had prepared.
He had originally intended to deal with him with pure taijutsu, a few punches and kicks, and then use Tsukuyomi to make him feel pain.
Uchiha Itachi's lips curled, and he lowered his head, staring intently into Sasuke's eyes.
His crimson Sharingan spun wildly, merging into the shape of a black pinwheel.
Tsukuyomi.
However, the next second,
the sight of Sasuke collapsing didn't appear. He remained completely unaffected, swinging the longsword in his hand.
Cursed Sword Art!
Purple cursed energy surged, coiling around the blade like countless black insects writhing.
Uchiha Itachi, caught off guard, couldn't dodge in time and could only raise his kunai to forcefully block the strike.
Crack.
The kunai, forged from fine iron, was cut in half like cotton.
Uchiha Itachi quickly pulled back the hand holding the kunai, but his left arm was grazed by the cursed blade, nearly severed outright.
Kisame Hoshigaki was stunned.
As a teammate, he knew how strong Itachi's genjutsu mastery was; most genjutsu ninja couldn't resist it, yet this brat treated it as nothing.
"Itachi-sensei!"
Kisame Hoshigaki cried out in alarm, sweeping Samehada horizontally, its spikes rattling like teeth, to knock Sasuke away.
"I'm fine, Kisame."
Uchiha Itachi endured the pain, forming a hand seal with one hand. A ball of flame appeared in his palm, cauterizing the wound on his left arm to stop the bleeding.
Blood stained the ground.
He coughed violently, looking at Sasuke with surprise and asking, "You can resist my Tsukuyomi? Could it be…?"
Mangekyo Sharingan!
Only similar eyes could counter each other. He suspected that the black glowing curse jutsu was a kind of doujutsu Sasuke had awakened.
Sasuke swung his longsword, his expression cold as he said, "I told you, I won't kill my closest relatives to obtain those eyes. I have my own way of revenge."
He pointed his left hand, forming a hand seal.
The black curse jutsu on the longsword transformed directly into raging Black Flame.
With a swing,
he unleashed One by one Black Flame sword energy, rushing towards Uchiha Itachi and Kisame.
"What a terrifying ability, Itachi-sensei! Your younger brother is definitely a genius!"
Kisame Hoshigaki took a step forward, blocking Uchiha Itachi, and raised Samehada in a defensive stance, intending to intercept the sword energy.
But Uchiha Itachi pushed him away.
"Something's wrong, Kisame, get back!"
Amaterasu!
Blood seeped from the corner of Uchiha Itachi's eye, and tendrils of black Amaterasu flames ignited. The two Black Flames collided the second before the cursed Black Flame touched Samehada.
Boom.
The two Black Flames crashed together, and the resulting shockwave pushed Kisame Hoshigaki away.
"What a pity, I almost took out a strong enemy first."
Sasuke looked disappointed.
What he had just swung wasn't ordinary sword energy. The cursed flame slash was a core skill he learned after becoming a Cursed Swordsman, already leveled to 15, possessing extremely terrifying power.
The consumption was also very high.
Even in the game, wearing equipment that increased mana, his mana bar would be emptied after five uses.
Not to mention that Sasuke had used all his reward points to first authenticate the highly mental-resistant accessory set, which allowed him to resist Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
The remaining reward points were not enough to authenticate other equipment. In reality, he only had a level 15 blue set. The few cursed flame slashes he had just unleashed had already left his mana bar almost empty.
Such a good opportunity for a sneak attack; if he missed it, the next would be a tough fight.
