"Itachi's mind is made up, but Sasuke's is not. He has lost all his clansmen and parents, and today he will lose his brother."

"In the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, there is the Uchiha clan, as well as his parents and older brother."

Bai Jue, who was standing to the side, looked over upon hearing this: "Is this a decision? After all, children are easier to deceive. They are teenagers, which is the age when they crave affection."

Obito raised his head slightly: "You seem to know a lot about this kind of thing..."

White Zetsu replied, "Wasn't it the same when we dealt with Nagato?"

……

On the battlefield, two half-body Susanoo had already shattered, with blue longswords and orange magatama constantly bombarding each other.

At this moment, both Itachi and Sasuke had tears of blood streaming from their eyes. The intense depletion of their chakra had pushed them to their limits.

However, at this moment, Itachi Uchiha's eyes held a hint of relief, a hint of liberation, and a hint of reassurance.

In the years since joining Kumogakure, I have completely mastered the nature transformation of lightning-style chakra. Although the lightning release ninjutsu I just used had many limitations, it was definitely an S-rank ninjutsu.

Furthermore, with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode he acquired from Kumogakure, combined with the Sharingan's dynamic vision, Sasuke's potential would undoubtedly surpass that of the Fourth Raikage.

"Uchiha... Itachi!!"

With a roar, the blue longsword slashed down with force.

The forest trembled, and the Susanoo, formed from orange chakra, began to crack and scatter little by little.

At the same time, the blue Susanoo also seemed to be the final blow, as Sasuke charged towards Itachi with his long sword.

In Itachi's vision, Sasuke Uchiha, already appearing as a double image, vaguely gripped his long sword, the tip pointing directly at his chest.

"puff!"

As expected, the long sword pierced Itachi Uchiha's heart, and blood gushed from his mouth.

There was no smoke covering it, nor did it disperse into crows and then recombine; this was its original form.

"Sasuke... Sasuke..."

With difficulty, Itachi Uchiha raised his head and, after eight years, revealed that same smile again.

Such a smile made Sasuke Uchiha's hand, which was gripping the long sword tightly, tremble and loosen.

"Why? Why must we kill them? Why?!"

Sasuke roared, and the six-pointed star in his eye socket reappeared. This was driven by his emotions, and no eye techniques were used.

Uchiha Itachi, who was pinned to the rubble by a single blow, still smiled and raised his hand, gently touching Sasuke's forehead with two fingers, where blood splattered.

"Take away...my eyes. Only then can you...live well in this world."

“I…thought about it for a very long time…like that person…said, perhaps…I was wrong from the very beginning…”

“I didn’t try… to believe you… nor… to believe… Father…”

“I won't... interfere with... your choices anymore... but my eyes... if you don't take them away... you won't be able to reach their level…”

"Take away...my eyes..."

As the last words fell, Itachi Uchiha closed his eyes.

In his eyes, Sasuke saw liberation.

From the moment he started killing his own people, he had no other choice.

Or rather, from the moment he contacted Obito Uchiha, he had no choice. The image of him going to the battlefield with Fugaku Uchiha when he was four years old left a shadow in his heart.

This shadow haunted him throughout his life and led him to choose to annihilate the Uchiha clan.

What is the form of life?

The question of life and death gradually broke him down. He always felt he understood Sasuke and Fugaku very well.

But at that time, Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan appeared before him, and that person easily shattered the Tsukuyomi. Sasuke had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of eight...

He knew he was wrong; these forces could have achieved a certain balance.

Even with the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's weakness, after killing Danzo Shimura and displaying his power, he would still choose to compromise.

Losing consciousness, Itachi Uchiha died.

Someone like me probably can't go to the Pure Land, right?

Only hell is suitable for a sinner like me...

"Boom."

Sasuke Uchiha collapsed to the ground. The severe depletion of his chakra, coupled with his diminished eyesight, left him extremely weak.

But the depletion of chakra was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

They got their revenge... but then what?

The Uchiha clan is truly reduced to just myself and Izumi-neechan.

And I am the one who has the least stance.

The Revival Clan...

Struggling to his feet, Sasuke Uchiha reached out and placed his hand on Itachi Uchiha's eye socket.

At that moment, a voice rang out from behind him.

"In this state... I don't think you can retain Itachi's eyes. What do you think?"

"Shh!"

The moment the sound rang out, the long sword flashed with lightning and slashed down backward.

However, when the long sword slashed through, there was no sensation of it touching anything solid.

After flipping backward, Sasuke stared intently at the figure that had appeared, a vortex mask revealing a single Sharingan eye.

"Swirl mask..."

Sasuke's gaze turned serious: "It was you eight years ago, wasn't it? The guy who tried to lay a hand on Izumi-neechan, but was almost killed by Brother Yun."

Obito clenched his fists; it was his humiliation, the only humiliation he had experienced since gaining this power.

If it weren't for the power of the Eternal Eye, he would have made Sasuke realize the difference between them by now.

“That person has been missing for more than three years, and nobody knows if he will reappear. If you can contact him, I will leave right now.”

"But similarly... you will also lose an opportunity to make amends for all the tragedies."

Sasuke was stunned.

To say that one can make up for all the tragedies would sound like a joke to anyone else.

Seeing that Sasuke was interested, Obito continued, "That person has probably already told you the truth about the Uchiha's destruction, but why do you think I... or even the entire Akatsuki, would collect all the tailed beasts?"

Obito slowly raised his hands, his tone gradually becoming more excited.

"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan originated from the legendary Sage of Six Paths. And beneath the Uchiha clan's Naka Shrine, there remains a stone tablet that has been passed down from the Sage of Six Paths to this day."

"The contents of that stone tablet are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Only when the Sharingan evolves to the Mangekyou Sharingan level, with the support of ocular power, can a portion of it be deciphered."

"Only after I obtained the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan did I fully access the contents of this stone tablet. It contains the method to bring true peace to this world!"

Obito, who was like the leader of the X organization, did not receive a response from Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at him indifferently: "The peace of this world has nothing to do with me. If this is what you mean by making amends, then it's utterly ridiculous..."

Obito shook his head slightly: "The Five Great Shinobi Villages control the entire shinobi world, and the Five Great Nations also have the power to influence the fate of smaller nations. When war breaks out, hatred accumulates generation after generation..."

"I formed Akatsuki and collected the Tailed Beasts in order to revive the Ten-Tails and complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi with the Ten-Tails' final form, the Divine Tree."

"Under this ultimate genjutsu, everyone can get what they want. In the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Uchiha clan still exists, and your parents and brothers still exist!"

"That's the path to peace left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. It can dispel the hatred in the entire world, and everyone can get what they want!"

……

As Obito got more and more excited, he kept talking about his ideal world, but not far away opposite him, Sasuke Uchiha was frowning.

Obito had no idea what he was thinking and assumed that he was shocked by his words.

"How are you? All your sorrows have been healed, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke Uchiha raised his hand to stop him.

"You who call yourself Uchiha Madara, it turns out you really are as brainless as the Konoha records say..."

"The Infinite Tsukuyomi you speak of is, as you say, a massive genjutsu capable of affecting everyone. But under a genjutsu, how long can a person survive without food or water?"

Obito was stunned...

It seems he hasn't really thought about this question carefully.

If it's an illusion, how long can a person maintain it without eating or drinking?

Sasuke continued, "Being pulled into a genjutsu, dreaming every day of changing everything. Becoming a Kage, or unifying the five great nations and becoming the sole king..."

"This thing actually needs the power of nine tailed beasts? Isn't it just a matter of going back to sleep and having all sorts of dreams?"

"Falsehoods are ultimately falsehoods, meaningless, and will only lead to everyone starving to death within the illusion. Don't you find such a ridiculous method laughable?"

Obito Uchiha was stunned for a moment.

The memories that I wanted to ponder in my mind seemed to have been erased at this moment, and I still firmly believed in the method of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"It seems you don't yearn for peace, so I'll have no choice but to let you die here."

As soon as Obito finished speaking, he rushed towards Sasuke.

Thorns sprouted from the ground, but Sasuke dodged them.

A burst of intense flames came, which Sasuke dodged and parried, the iron chains colliding with it.

He flipped backward and retreated, throwing out three kunai that pierced right through Obito's body.

"Your attack... has no effect on me. You are destined to die here."

After retreating, Uchiha Sasuke looked over and said, "Are you sure you really dare to kill me? If Brother Yun shows up, you might not survive this time."

A simple sentence made Obito Uchiha hesitate and stop.

That's right... Killing him would grant him a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan from his brother, but if Sasuke Uchiha were killed and that person reappeared, Obito had no chance of success.
