Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 313 The Reality Beneath the Mirror and Water: Aizen in the Eyes of the Flame Emperor
"Crack!"

The crisp sound, like shattering glass, was exceptionally clear through the rain.

Uchiha Itachi's body suddenly stiffened, an unprecedented chill shooting up his spine to the back of his neck; a tearing pain suddenly shot through his eyes, and warm liquid slid down his cheeks—it was blood.

"Although I've seen it many times in anime, it was only after seeing it with my own eyes that I truly realized how terrifying it is that the Mirror Flower Water Moon manipulates the five senses and completely hypnotizes people."

Uchiha Ryosuke's voice rang out in the air.

He, who should have died, now appeared perfectly intact in front of Itachi Uchiha, and in his hand was Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Indeed, in Itachi Uchiha's view, everything that happened after the clash of Susanoo was nothing more than the result of Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu hypnosis.

Sight, touch, hearing, smell, pain.
Everything Itachi Uchiha saw, heard, and felt was a hallucination created through hypnosis.

Ryosuke Uchiha didn't know what kind of world Itachi Uchiha saw after Aizen controlled his five senses, but he could guess some of it from his words and actions. It was precisely because of this that he felt terrified.

Even Itachi Uchiha failed to notice the flaws in the illusionary world Aizen had created for him, and instead readily believed in that false "world."

I must say, as expected of Aizen.

The "reality" before Itachi Uchiha's eyes began to crumble.

Raindrops froze in mid-air, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground like a mirror, making the whole world seem to fall apart like shattered glass.

Itachi Uchiha's world was plunged into darkness.

He instinctively reached out to touch his eyes, only to find two bloody, empty holes.

In the midst of excruciating pain, he also realized that everything he had experienced from the moment he cast Kotoamatsukami might have been an illusion.

"Inize."

Itachi Uchiha had already realized everything.

Of all the people he knew, the only one capable of doing all this was Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu.

He clearly and vividly felt Uchiha Ryosuke's death, and even remembered the sensation of his muscles when he turned the kunai; all his sensory experiences were so real that they were outrageous.

But his experience was a false illusion, and he didn't realize there was anything wrong with it.

But why did Aizen do that?
Is it because the other party's existence can give him greater value?

What kind of Indra's chakra can the holder of Sasuke's template give him?

Itachi Uchiha had thought of this.

If we were to pinpoint Sasuke's most unique aspect, it would undoubtedly be his identity as the "reincarnation of Indra's chakra."

Do template holders also possess these characteristics?

Ryosuke Uchiha stood in front of Itachi Uchiha, his eyes flashing with a complex light.

"If it weren't for Aizen, I might really have died."

"I still managed to do this even after I awakened my divine power."

I underestimated you.

Although he had overestimated Itachi's strength as much as possible at the beginning of the battle, he eventually found that he had underestimated him.

The reason he met with Aizen beforehand and, after paying a certain price, got Aizen to agree to help him in the battle, was that his main purpose was to prevent Itachi Uchiha from using "Izanagi" and causing the Mangekyou Sharingan to go blind.

Ryosuke Uchiha never imagined that he, having awakened Kamui, would lose to Itachi Uchiha in their battle.

Even though he was influenced by the Uchiha Sasuke template in the initial battle, he always gained the upper hand in his battle against Uchiha Itachi thanks to his own strength.

Without the influence of the Uchiha Sasuke template, it easily defeated Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo by relying on the special nature of the "Kamui" power.

However, he still lost. If Aizen hadn't intervened, he probably would have been hit by Itachi's Kotoamatsukami and died at Itachi's hands.

Although he couldn't see what Itachi Uchiha was seeing, he could fully imagine what the battle looked like from Itachi's perspective.

He understood this when he saw the crow appear.

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

There was no anger or resentment in his smile, only a faint sense of relief.

He slowly raised his head, and although he had lost his eyes, he seemed to still be able to "see" in a certain direction.

There, Aizen stood quietly on a tall building in the distance, looking down at everything.

However, Itachi Uchiha didn't care about Aizen, and what he was looking at wasn't Aizen, but Tobirama Senju.

"Nidaime-sama"

Itachi Uchiha didn't know if Tobirama Senju knew what Aizen was doing, or if he was watching from the sidelines.

Even if Tobirama Senju knew all this and chose to remain indifferent, he would not harbor the slightest resentment.

After reviewing the records of this era, he knew clearly that the Second Hokage was wary of the Uchiha clan, but he also knew that the Second Hokage's love for Konoha was second to none.

No matter what the Second Generation Lord does, he must have his reasons.

Itachi Uchiha believed this.

However, after his death, only the Second Generation Lord remained for the time being.

Itachi Uchiha felt a pang of regret. He wanted to do more for Konoha and wait for Sasuke's arrival in this world, but the opportunity was gone.

Fortunately, the person who killed him was the holder of the Sasuke template, which may be a kind of fulfillment of destiny.

Blood continued to gush from his empty eye sockets, mixing with the rainwater to form a pool of blood at his feet. His body began to sway, and the excessive blood loss coupled with the complete depletion of his pupil power gradually blurred his consciousness.

But he didn't fall; instead, he slowly straightened his back, as if welcoming some predetermined end. "So, now."

"farewell."

As Uchiha Ryosuke spoke coldly, the thunderous roar of Chidori pierced the rain.

In the final moments of his life, Itachi Uchiha smiled slightly, and in a daze, he seemed to see the figure chasing after his back.

"Sasuke."

I'm really sorry this time.

With that whisper, his body finally lurched forward, crashing heavily onto the muddy ground, never to rise again.

Aizen, who was in the distance, withdrew his gaze, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"It seems he won."

He turned around slowly.

"Let's go, let's welcome the newlyweds."

Just as he was about to take a step, a deep voice suddenly rang out from not far away, carrying a hint of admiration:

"Is this what battles between ninjas are like?"

"Although his physical strength is still insufficient, the ability of those eyes is truly interesting."

"The control of the battle rhythm is also quite good."

"The ability to maintain such calm judgment in the face of life and death is truly commendable."

Aizen paused slightly and glanced sideways.

Two figures could be vaguely seen emerging from the rain.

One of them was burly, with his arms crossed over his chest. Although his true face was not revealed, he exuded a suffocating aura of pressure.

His assessment of the battle was also given.

An unimaginable shock flashed in Tobirama Senju's eyes; he hadn't even noticed the presence of these two people.

His fingers unconsciously reached for the ninja tool pouch at his waist, his body already instinctively entering battle mode.

Gojo Satoru's usual carefree smile had vanished, replaced by a furrowed brow. He removed his blindfold completely, revealing six azure eyes that stared at the two, yet he could not discern the flow of energy around them.

Amane Sora and Kagura Shimizu also looked at the two, but they weren't as wary as the other three.

After all, their strength was actually the weakest among them, so being wary was useless.

Moreover, even Aizen and the others hadn't noticed the presence of these two people. If we exclude the possibility that they are powerful individuals skilled in concealment, their strength might even surpass Aizen's.

Such an existence could easily annihilate them.

"I didn't expect you to give them such high praise."

Ye Xuan stood beside Emperor Yan and calmly replied after hearing his words, completely ignoring the wariness of Tobirama Senju and the others. He was only somewhat surprised by Emperor Yan's evaluation of the two.

However, considering that the power system in the Armor Hero world is grand, Lu Fa and his Netherworld Demons who descended into reality are only at the fourth or fifth level.

In this battle, the strength displayed by Uchiha Ryosuke and Uchiha Itachi is no less than that of the Netherworld Demon. The ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and even the tactical exchanges and counterattacks they showed in the battle were also quite impressive.

It is only natural that he would receive praise from Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan crossed his arms, his thick arms bulging with muscles. Even without deliberately releasing his aura, the innate pressure of a powerful figure made it hard to breathe.

"His strength is indeed quite good."

"Compared to Ares and Flame Star, it can be considered strong."

"That eye technique called Kamui has a very sophisticated use of space. If you can't find a node connecting to another dimension, it's almost impossible to really hurt him."

Strong is strong, weak is weak.

Although he felt that the two were still relatively inexperienced and had a lot of room for improvement in their skills, he did not deny the level of skill they displayed during the battle.

However, he still prefers a simple and direct fighting style and is not fond of the ninja fighting style that relies on skills and tricks.

The clash between Susanoo was what he considered the most exciting part of the battle.

Unfortunately, he was still a bit weak, and much of his strength was concentrated in his eyes.

If he could be a little stronger, and if that Susanoo could become even stronger, it would be a formidable opponent for him.

Aizen gently pushed up his glasses, the cold light reflected from the lenses obscuring his deep eyes, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth remained unchanged.

"The arrival of these two distinguished guests, uninvited, has made this scene even more exciting."

"I wonder when I started appreciating it?"

His voice was gentle and polite, yet carried an undeniable sense of pressure.

Emperor Yan's gaze was fixed on Aizen.

His gaze did not linger on the other person's clothing, appearance, or any external features, but instead penetrated directly to the "qi" flowing around the man.

He could feel the intensity of that energy—vast, solid, like a bottomless ocean.

Ordinary people would feel suffocated just by standing in this kind of aura.

This force contains a clear will, a wild will that refuses to be subservient to others and intends to trample heaven and earth under its feet.
