"Click".

Crisp footsteps echoed in the room.

Uchiha Itachi, carrying a blood-dripping sword, walked in blankly.

Blood dripped from the knife, leaving chilling marks in the room.

Itachi's steps were heavy as a thousand pounds, each step slow and deliberate.

Inside the lobby.

Mikoto and Fugaku sat quietly at the table, speechless, as if waiting for something.

The hall was silent, save for Itachi's approaching footsteps.

"Is this your choice?" Fugaku Uchiha asked in a low voice.

Itachi paused, his face covered in blood and tears.

"Your decision will push the Uchiha clan into the abyss," Itachi murmured, slowly raising his sword.

"For Sasuke, for Konoha."

"This is my choice."

Fugaku slowly turned around and looked at his son, who was covered in blood.

The once gentle boy now has his hands stained with the blood of his own kind.

Fugaku's lips twitched a few times, as if he had a lot to say, but all his words ultimately boiled down to one sentence: "Itachi, take care of yourself, do it."

He then put his arm around his wife's shoulder, closed his eyes, and faced death.

Itachi's expression, which had been completely calm, finally showed a slight change. "Goodbye, Mom and Dad."

The long sword fell, revealing the crimson hue of blood.

The hall was silent except for the sounds of panting and dripping blood.

"I'm back." Sasuke's cheerful voice rang out from the doorway, and then the door opened.

......

Sasuke couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The once beautifully decorated living room was now stained with blood, and the parents lay on the floor, blood flowing continuously from beneath them.

His most beloved older brother stood in the living room, holding a long sword, covered in blood, and giving him a terrifying smile: "Welcome home, Sasuke."

"An enemy? Is it an illusion?" Sasuke's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously pulled out a kunai.

Under Naruto's training, he became rational and calm, and learned to analyze situations.

Her beloved brother would never harm her parents, and her parents were top-tier experts. There weren't even any signs of a fight in the living room, so it was impossible for them to have been killed so silently.

It must be an illusion!

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on our Uchiha residence!" he shouted angrily.

Facing such a terrifying enemy for the first time, his hand holding the kunai even trembled slightly.

But then they heard the person who looked just like Itachi say:

"My foolish little brother, you are too weak. You don't even believe your own eyes? You are so stupid and pathetic."

This was the first time Sasuke had ever seen his beloved older brother with such an expression.

Disgust, pity, even ridicule.

"No! How dare you make such an ugly face on my brother's face!!" Sasuke roared, feeling the anger churning in his chest.

A black tomoe suddenly appeared in Sasuke's eyes, slowly swirling within his crimson pupils.

"Whoosh." The explosive power of his legs propelled him to quickly close the distance between himself and Itachi, and he thrust his kunai fiercely.

But then he flew backward at an even faster speed, crashing through the gate until he hit a big tree and came to a stop.

"Whoosh." Several shurikens slashed across his face and embedded themselves in the tree trunk.

Several bloodstains also appeared on Sasuke's face.

“My foolish brother, what you saw and heard was not an illusion. They are dead. They were killed by me, Uchiha Itachi.”

Itachi appeared before Sasuke like a ghost, a cold smile playing on his lips, casually wiping the blood off his longsword.

"Next up is your turn, my silly little brother."

To Itachi's surprise...

The expected look of fear did not appear on Sasuke's face.

He even let out a cold laugh:

"I don't know how you did it, but I'm definitely not that kind of person, so you'd better shut up."

Sasuke leaned against a tree to stand up, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and slowly untied his weights.

"Although I don't know how you tricked your clansmen into entering the mansion."

"And how did you pull me into this illusion?"

"But congratulations, you've successfully angered me." Sasuke raised his small face, looking furious.

"I will do my best."

"I'll kill you."

"Bang." The heavy load landed on the ground with a dull thud.

The weasel's mouth twitched incessantly.

How did Naruto turn my little brother into this?

Didn't he see the situation clearly?

He's still putting on airs in this situation.

What can he use to fight me?

"Let me show you the results of my training!" With that, Sasuke disappeared from Itachi's sight, and the next moment he ran at top speed toward the mansion gate, the tomoe in his Sharingan spinning rapidly.

Sasuke remembered Naruto's teachings during training.

Understand your environment correctly and respond accordingly.

Never confront them head-on.

This 'Itachi' in front of me is clearly not someone I can handle.

To engage in battle rashly would be reckless.

Although the honor of the Uchiha clan did not allow him to escape in such a sorry state.

but.

We cannot allow him to lose so foolishly.

After I, Uchiha Sasuke, leave the battlefield, I will rest briefly and devote myself to arduous training.

One day I will return with renewed vigor and slay you before my very eyes.

I will protect the glory of the Uchiha clan.

Itachi: ? ? ?

Itachi was almost completely flustered, and his expression was about to crumble.

He reacted quickly and chased after Sasuke.

"Bang." Sasuke was caught up without a doubt, and then flew back to the mansion at an even faster speed, crashing into a tree again, clutching his stomach and howling in pain.

"There's no time left." Itachi could sense several streams of chakra approaching, his heart sank, he grabbed Sasuke by the neck and lifted him up, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning wildly.

“My silly little brother, now I’ll show you the truth.”

Tsukuyomi.

In the endless Tsukuyomi space, Sasuke watched again and again as Itachi, like a demon, reaped the lives of his clansmen, and finally turned his blade against his parents.

"No! No!" Sasuke roared in anguish, clutching his head in pain.

Sasuke couldn't believe that his kindest and most loving brother would do something so heinous.

"It's impossible, it must be fake, it's all fake." He couldn't accept this reality and knelt down on the ground, clutching his head.

“The sky is actually colorless; it’s just that your eyes are deceiving you.” Sasuke suddenly remembered something Naruto had once said.

Before he could think any further, a tremendous force struck him, and Sasuke was kicked to the ground helplessly. A cold shoe stepped on Sasuke's cheek, and he saw Itachi's indifferent gaze.

"My foolish little brother, you are so weak that you don't even have the right to be killed by me."

"If you want to kill me, run away, run away with hatred, find a place to eke out a living, and then reappear when you have eyes like mine."

Chapter Forty-Three Visit

Day two.

Naruto woke up from his sleep.

Wash up and prepare breakfast.

Looking out the window, the weather was sunny.

"Yosh, a new day, another day of hard training!" Naruto stretched and quickly formed hand seals.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".

After the smoke cleared, four Narutos appeared beside the main body.

"I won't waste any more words. As for the sword techniques, white-handed fighting, ninjutsu, chakra stability, and demonic arts, you can distribute them yourselves. Thank you all for your hard work," Naruto said gently.

"Don't worry, I am also Naruto Uzumaki. I yearn to become stronger. In the future, I will become light and shine upon you."

"Actually, Naruto, you are really talented. With your talent and hard work, you will definitely become the best Hokage."

"In this cruel world, I will always be by your side." The usually talkative Narutos said softly with gentle smiles.
