Chapter 72 - Chapter 70 Uchiha Itachi's Trial

"Hunting pollution sources?"

Although Kisame Hoshigaki wasn't keen on hunting pollution sources, feeling like he was being manipulated by the Game Merchant, he could only grudgingly accept it in the face of the temptation of a Shikai Zanpakuto.

This is all for the Eye of the Moon Plan; Mr. Madara shouldn't blame me.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, reaching out to tear off the bandages wrapped around Samehada, releasing his Chakra, letting Samehada affectionately wrap around his finger.

"You are my partner too, Samehada."

Kisame Hoshigaki's lips curled up as he stroked Samehada's hilt. Samehada was also a living blade.

Samehada, who had accompanied him for many years, had long been treated as a companion he would die for.

"Although I don't know your plan, Mr. Merchant, I still want to thank you."

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded slightly.

His loyalty was solely to Uchiha Madara. Mr. Madara, who could initiate the Eye of the Moon Plan, wanting all humans to achieve their dreams in a false world, must have endured profound suffering to conceive such a plan.

He absolutely could not betray Mr. Madara's trust after gaining his recognition.

"You're welcome. This is just a transaction where both parties get what they need."

Fang Yi smiled indifferently.

He didn't try to portray himself as a guide or use his foreknowledge to elevate his status and play tricks on the Ninja, which he found boring.

He merely offered the other party a choice.

If Kisame Hoshigaki hadn't spent money, he might not have been able to defeat the Fallen Hollow, nor would he have obtained that broken Shinigami blade.

Even if he had obtained the broken blade, without spending money, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the soul-tearing injuries and become an apprentice Shinigami. Everything was Kisame's own choice.

Only this way could the fairness of the game be guaranteed.

Even if there were differences in players' soul potential,

the Game Store also had expensive items to compensate for soul potential. As long as players were willing, they could obtain items through various means to reshape their souls.

What Fang Yi needed to do was cultivate players to hunt pollution sources.

Kisame Hoshigaki asked curiously, "What kind of trial is Itachi-sensei's?"

He had always been very curious about Uchiha Itachi's affairs.

However, Itachi-sensei, with his profound past, was like a curled-up hedgehog, hiding all his emotions.

"When he wakes up, you can ask him."

"Never mind. Itachi-sensei doesn't like others prying into his inner world."

Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head.

As teammates, he and Itachi-sensei had engaged in sparring battles. Although they weren't serious, he could foresee that even if he went all out, he wouldn't be Itachi-sensei's opponent.

Therefore, when they were in Konoha Hidden Village earlier, even though Sasuke, who controlled Black Flame, was very strong, Itachi-sensei had actually held back. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured, let alone had his old injuries recur.

At this moment,

Uchiha Itachi's trial ground was covered in scorched black rocks.

The earth was cracked, and hot lava flowed through the fissures.

[Small Trial Activated]

Trial Content: Kill 15 Fallen Devils.

Note: Shallow Hell.

"There really is hell. I've actually come here while still alive..."

Uchiha Itachi forced a bitter smile. It seemed even fate couldn't accept his shameful act of slaughtering his entire clan, leading him to hell.

Inside his body, his Chakra had disappeared.

His improved physical attributes had also been weakened. His current level was roughly similar to that of Ninja School students, barely surpassing ordinary people.

However, what had also disappeared was the constant torment of illness.

Uchiha Itachi sighed, "A new body, does it mean a new life? A sinner like me, with blood on my hands, shouldn't have such a result."

From the moment he wielded the butcher's knife, sin and blood had already permeated his soul.

He had never hoped to live, only wanting to take the Uchiha's glory and responsibility to hell. He just needed to wait for Sasuke to grow up, then he would let Sasuke kill him with his own hands.

At that moment, everything would end.

He agreed to participate in the trial only to have enough power to protect the last flame of the Uchiha in his final moments of life.

Therefore,

Uchiha Itachi wasn't curious about what abilities or professions he would acquire.

For him, none of it mattered.

"Human, it's a human!"

A Fallen Devil, appearing from nowhere, shrieked and screamed madly.

Uchiha Itachi pulled out a sharp kunai from his inventory.

He crouched low and quickly approached his target.

His skilled fingers spread, and the kunai spun once in his palm, precisely slashing the Fallen Devil's neck.

Its rough skin

caused the Fallen Devil, after its neck was slashed, not to die but to frantically scratch at Uchiha Itachi's face.

Pfft.

He applied force to the kunai, thrusting it deep into its throat.

Uchiha Itachi lightly flicked the kunai, shaking off the foul-smelling blood.

This was a practice taught to him by the Anbu: never leave any easily traceable liquids on weapons; they must be wiped clean frequently.

Rocks, burned into black crystals, were piled up into ruined encampments.

There were traces of human activity within.

It was a temporary outpost built when humans attacked Shallow Hell. Uchiha Itachi found several corpses with broken bones inside.

Within the tattered rags, there was a letter that was almost weathered away.

The handwriting was blurry.

Even if the handwriting was clear, Uchiha Itachi didn't recognize the foreign script.

The Game Store appeared conveniently. For only 2 reward points, he could read its content.

Uchiha Itachi, worried it might be important information, chose to spend reward points to read it, sacrificing his most proficient Ninja Art.

The Great Fireball Jutsu.

Unfortunately, the content was not what Uchiha Itachi had expected.

It was merely a family letter the deceased hadn't had time to send. The human town on the outskirts had been invaded by hellish demons, and they had formed an adventure team, resolutely stepping into hell to protect the town.

Judging by the extent of the corpses' damage, it was clear that the outcome of this war was not good.

"No matter which world it is, is the existence of war unavoidable?"

Uchiha Itachi picked up a handful of scorched dust and gently covered the bones.

The spirit of self-sacrifice, to venture into hell alone, resonated with him.

Fortunately,

the other party could die as a hero, while he was merely a rogue Ninja burdened by darkness, whose very name could not even be mentioned.

[You have died. Do you wish to resurrect?]

"Resurrect."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for two seconds before choosing to resurrect.

This time, he sacrificed almost all of his proficient Fire Release Ninja Arts, as the cost of resurrection was very high.

He could only do this.

He couldn't stand by and watch the Uchiha Clan's last hope, his younger brother, come into contact with the Reincarnation Game without him understanding anything about it.

He was killed by a Fallen Devil much larger than the ordinary ones.

Before his death,

Uchiha Itachi used his kunai to stab out the demon's eyes. Now, after resurrecting, he effortlessly killed the opponent.

Buzz.

A faint green light rose from the Fallen Devil's corpse.

Uchiha Itachi's gaze sharpened. Having received information from the Reincarnation Game, he understood that this was an item dropped by the Fallen Devil after its death.
