The spreading, subtle pain felt like it was tearing open his entire brain!

Amid the pain, he involuntarily closed his eyes tightly, and in the darkness, a blood-red mark seemed to slowly bloom.

At the same time, two bright red streaks of blood were already flowing down from under Yu's eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the lake surface reflecting his figure seemed to have changed. No, to be precise, he himself had changed, and the root of the change was his eyes!

The three-tomoe markings that were originally surrounding the area have gradually merged into a black windmill shape. He had seen similar patterns in the eyes of his brother, Shisui, and even that bastard behind him!

Is this... the Mangekyou Sharingan?

The sudden realization didn't bring Sasuke the immediate joy of gaining power, but rather a swift and decisive act of revenge!

Ignoring the pain in his body, he suddenly twisted his body, and his dark left eye focused immediately!

"Go to hell!"

"Amaterasu!!"

Left Eye Amaterasu, the exact same ability as her brother!

In an instant, ferocious, pitch-black flames erupted from its pupils, determined to incinerate the demon that was so close, attempting to take away its only remaining loved one!

This change came far too suddenly.

A desperate counterattack

A transformation that transcends levels.

These scenes all seem like something only a novel's protagonist would experience.

But the script he was writing came to an abrupt end there.

A ring of frigid ice suddenly blocked the path of the undying black flames.

The proximity is the best factor for a surprise attack.

However, precisely because of this, even the slightest energy fluctuation will be amplified infinitely at this extreme distance.

"Hey, what a nice pair of eyes."

"Since it's been delivered to my door, I'll accept it without hesitation."

Huang was not angry at all. Instead, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes as he reached out a finger and pointed it toward the former's face.

"Ah, Itachi, don't worry about it, just keep counting."

“I’m very magnanimous. I won’t remove the option before the agreement ends just because he wants my life.”

"However, there's nothing wrong with collecting some interest first, right?"

During this time, he also made sure to comfort Itachi Uchiha, who was not far away.

Then, without any discussion or consultation, he faced Sasuke's increasingly fearful eyes, pressed against Itachi's paused and counted the "no" he was about to shout, forcibly lifted the former's tightly closed eyelids, and plunged his finger into the prey's right eye socket.

"what!!"

In an instant, Sasuke's painful roar echoed across the entire lake, while Itachi stood frozen in place like a lost zombie.

At that moment, his heart must have been filled with despair and anger.

This moment might remind him of some of his past misdeeds.

However, what he unconsciously murmured was neither a curse nor a confession to the Uchiha, but simply an apology.

I apologize to my younger brother.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke,"

"I'm sorry, Sasuke."

"Konoha,"

"Please save Konoha!!"

Itachi suddenly made a decision, his voice filled with sorrow and humility.

Time was running out. The immense power gathering on the horizon signified that Pain had completely concentrated the power of the Six Paths. Neither Pain nor Konoha could stop him.

Everything will be reduced to nothingness by that terrifying power.

Now, if there's any one thing that can stop the other, it's that nemesis he hates but is powerless against!

As for Sasuke

All he could say was sorry, an apology without asking for forgiveness!

After all, the other side consists of innocent residents of Konoha, the sheer size of which is self-evident!

Moreover, death might be the best relief for his younger brother.

No need to carry the burden, no need to live in hatred.

There is no need to forgive or acknowledge having a brother as utterly wicked as myself.

That's good.

I'm sorry, Sasuke.

Itachi's decision was somewhat sudden, but it's entirely understandable.

After all, the energy gathered in the sky had reached its peak, almost at full capacity, and Pain's technique could be unleashed at any moment.

Ara stopped trying to take Sasuke's left eye finger. Looking at his mortal enemy, who was filled with despair, a different kind of emotion finally appeared in his eyes.

But that emotion wasn't entirely happiness.

Because of this replicated choice, it allowed them to see their former selves across the torrent of time.

For a fleeting moment, Ara wanted to see this former Uchiha Kirinko unleash even greater power to overturn the two options he had given.

For example, recruiting all the members of the Akatsuki organization.

For example, one could awaken the Rinnegan by transcending previous levels.

Unfortunately, no miracle occurred that moved him.

The Akatsuki members, each with their own ulterior motives, did not arrive.

The other party's qualifications are not even close to the higher level of the Rinnegan.

He tossed Sasuke aside like a dead dog, then tossed the blood-stained eye in his palm into a designated spot before walking straight across the former battlefield toward his opponent.

During this time, Sasuke, who was abandoned by Itachi, seemed to have lost his soul. He stopped roaring and cursing, and remained motionless like a puppet.

He knew that this was a choice his brother had been forced to make.

He understood that his brother was just that kind of gentle person, unable to bear seeing so many families destroyed.

He knows and understands all the principles and all the things!

However, when one is truly abandoned, one still feels a sense of emptiness and loneliness, and an indescribable pain spreads in one's chest.

The pain of being blinded is utterly insignificant compared to this kind of agony.

Fresh blood mixed with clear water slowly trickled down his cheek.

A clear thought echoed in his mind: this time, he had truly been chosen to be abandoned.

All understanding, all maturity,

None of this means he can accept such an option.

But, Nissan.

For you, I'm willing to abandon the entire Hidden Leaf Village and become its enemy.

Sasuke, who had been abandoned, did not mobilize his chakra to attach to his body.

Instead, it allowed itself to slowly sink under its own weight.

Anyway, he was the one who was abandoned.

Anyway, he was a dying man.

Anyway, he had nothing left.

Itachi could naturally sense Sasuke's movements. Looking at the boy who was biting his lip so hard that he couldn't make a sound, Itachi felt a pang of pain in his heart.

But soon, even that distant view became a luxury for him.

That figure stood like an insurmountable mountain, blocking his path.

Looking at that person,

Looking at the person who had driven his younger brother to the brink of death,

He dared not show any anger or dissatisfaction.

Because only the other person, only the other person can save Konoha!!

"Please, save Konoha."

Despite the immense pain in his heart, he reiterated his choice.

Upon hearing this, Huang, who stood before him, showed no sympathy or emotion on his face, but instead uttered words that deviated from the petition:

"What a pity, you've made the wrong choice again, Itachi."

Upon hearing this, the light in the former's eyes suddenly changed, and an extremely ominous emotion surged within them.

He recalled certain past events, but he absolutely did not want those past events to come true!

"Don't you know?"

"There is an irreconcilable blood feud between me and Konoha, and between the Uchiha clan and Konoha."

"So, why should I help Konoha?"

"Wouldn't the destruction of Konoha be the best outcome for the Hidden Demon Village?"

"At that time, I can head south in one fell swoop and reclaim my hometown."

"And you don't have to get your hands dirty."

"Why do you think I made Payne avoid the clan territory?"

"Because this place will become the central area of ​​the Uchiha clan and the Hidden Demon Village!"
