……

Since returning from the Twin Moon Space, Sasuke has remained silent...

At night, he sat on a treetop, gazing at the cold moon in the night sky, reminiscing about everything since he could remember!

Think back to how he transformed from an unambitious young master into a demon!

Driven entirely by hatred!

"Five years, five years... Brother, thanks to you, I survived in such harsh conditions!"

"I don't even know if I can get out of that place, but every time I think about how you died, I feel a surge of power throughout my body!"

"Now, I'm back, with a power that even I fear!"

"Brother, you must be secretly pleased, silently living on, right? Back then, you slaughtered your entire clan for a killing game, and your reason for sparing me was to 'fatten me up before killing me'? Heh heh heh... As you wished, I'm fat now! So..."

"I'm going to kill Itachi!" Sasuke stood before Lin Yu and declared resolutely.

"I heard that after you came back alive, Itachi secretly returned and left this behind without anyone noticing!"

*Snap!* Yu snapped his fingers.

"Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!" The crows gathered in mid-air, forming the shape of a weasel.

"Go to the Uchiha stronghold alone, and settle things there, Sasuke!"

Chapter 503 The Demonic Brother!

call out!

Yu used Kamui to send Sasuke to the vicinity of the Uchiha base!

Lin Yu said, "Sasuke, I have no objection to your insistence on fighting Itachi, but Itachi's strength is extraordinary. If you are at a disadvantage, do you want me to..."

Sasuke coldly interrupted Lin Yu: "This is my revenge, Uchiha Sasuke's revenge! No outsiders are needed! No matter what happens, Shadow, I will not allow you to interfere!"

Lin Yu said, "Oh... then I might die."

Sasuke said, "If I really die, it will prove that I am only this level of person... Moreover, I don't think I would lose to him in my current state!"

"Hmph... Sasuke, you've taken your foreskin off, huh?" A deep laugh came from behind Lin Yu's mask. "Then good luck..."

Whoosh! Yu disappeared into the vortex of divine power.

Sasuke gazed at the shrine perched atop the high mountain at the edge of the forest, then drew his sword and galloped away.

Inside the Feathered Emperor's Castle, Feather and Madara faced each other, with Madara showing great interest in the battle.

On the table sat a large crystal ball. Madara, his chin resting on the backs of his hands, gazed at Sasuke running and exclaimed once more, "Uchiha Sasuke, he really does look a lot like Izuna..."

Sasuke slowed down by the stream in front of the mountain. He recalled the moments he had spent with Itachi, those warm images and the image of the caring older brother that he had long forgotten, all flooding his mind again and again!

He repeatedly reminded himself that it was all 'fake,' an act put on by Itachi for his 'killing game'!

Until the flames of hatred ignited in his heart, burning away all the false memories, Sasuke stood before Itachi!

In the dimly lit shrine, Itachi sat upright on a stone chair, dressed in black, with a headband on his forehead symbolizing the former rogue ninja of the Hidden Shadow Village. His three-tomoe eyes scrutinized Sasuke.

"Sasuke, my beloved little brother, you've grown so much..."

Itachi's inner thoughts reached his lips, turning into a mocking sneer: "Sasuke, my foolish little brother, how far can your Sharingan see..."

Sasuke closed his eyes, and *sizzle!* When he opened them again… the three tomoe on his left eye had turned into a six-pointed star, and a line of blood dripped from the corner of his eye: “Itachi, what I see with these eyes is your death!”

——Amaterasu! !

raging!

Dark flames ignited on Itachi's body.

"What!?" Itachi's face showed shock, and then he fell from his throne, struggling on the ground, letting out a shrill scream: "Wa ...

Finally, Itachi's struggle stopped, and his body was burned to ashes!

As the genjutsu ended, Sasuke declared resolutely, "This is how I see your death, Itachi!"

On the throne, Itachi murmured, "I see. It seems that hatred has indeed enhanced your eye power. But it's just your left eye, Sasuke. Your hatred is not enough!"

Noisy!

The three tomoe in Itachi's eyes transformed into a kaleidoscope pattern!

Swish!

Sasuke suddenly retreated!

"Oh, a safe distance. It seems you have some understanding of my eye techniques. Did Shadow tell you?"

Itachi stood up and said, "But you don't need to be afraid. It's inevitable that you'll have something to say when you see your good-for-nothing younger brother after so long. You must feel the same way, Sasuke. It must be full of doubts when you see your hated older brother after so long. Otherwise, you would have used Amaterasu on me directly instead of letting me see that scene in the genjutsu!"

Itachi stopped in his tracks: "So, ask me anything you want to know, and I'll make sure you die knowing exactly what's going on!"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and demanded, "Why did you kill your entire clan!"

Itachi said, "Shadow should have already told you why I wanted to kill the entire clan..."

Sasuke shouted, "I want to hear your answer myself!"

Itachi thought to himself: It seems Sasuke doesn't completely trust the Shadows...

"Alright, I'll tell you myself. Before you even came into this world, I had already witnessed countless killings and wars. Do you know what a 'mass grave' is?"

"A mass grave? What's that?"

"During the height of the Third Shinobi World War, ninjas, in their ruthless pursuit of killing the enemy, resorted to disguising the corpses of their own ninjas as fallen enemy soldiers, thus triggering deadly traps when the enemy was collecting their comrades' bodies..."

"It started as a one-sided act, but eventually every village's ninjas were doing it, until no one collected the bodies anymore. The ninjas who died in battle were left to rot in the wilderness, becoming food for crows..."

"In the end, there were so many corpses that, in order to prevent the spread of plague from the rotting corpses, a huge pit would be dug on the battlefield before the battle to bury the bodies of the fallen ninjas... This is the origin of the mass grave!"

"..." Sasuke remained silent.

Itachi continued, "Having witnessed so many atrocities, I can't help but wonder, what is human life? What is comradeship? What is war? What is death?"

"I wanted to figure out the answer to the question, so I slept in a mass grave for three days and three nights... Finally, I was enlightened!"

Itachi's voice suddenly turned frenzied: "That's right! To live is either to kill others!! Or to be killed by others!! History has proven that even the strongest ninja cannot escape the fate of being killed!! Since that's the case, why not kill more people!!!"

"In this elimination tournament of killing and being killed, only the victor will emerge as the king of men!!! I refuse to be killed like an ant, becoming a stepping stone for the strong!! I will win this killing game!!"

"I will transform into an Asura, cleansing souls with blood and proving my path through slaughter!! Before the day I am killed arrives, I will rob more lives, dragging them down to hell with their bloodshed!! I will leave behind a chilling presence in the world!! I will make a bloody storm sweep over the world whenever the name Uchiha Itachi is mentioned!!!"

"So...that's how it is." Sasuke clenched his fist tightly. "So, you're going to turn against your clan, against your parents!!!"

"That's karmic retribution!!!!!"

"Karmic obstacles?"

"Parental love and sibling affection are obstacles to completing the great cause of slaughter!!! If I don't eliminate these karmic obstacles, I will be bound to this mediocre body and will never be able to transform into a true Asura!!!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth and said, "Then why did you leave me out?!"

"Hmph, need I even say that, Sasuke..." Itachi said bloodthirstily, "Because you're too weak! Killing a weak ant like you would only lower my character as a demon! It's the same principle as fattening up a pig before slaughtering it. Sasuke, in my eyes, you are no different from the other clansmen, from your father and mother. You're just a pig waiting to be slaughtered!!"

Sasuke trembled violently: "That, that image of a good older brother before you defected from the village..."

"Hehe ...

Itachi pulled a mirror from his robes and threw it in front of Sasuke!

Looking at his almost distorted face in the mirror, Sasuke nearly lost control of his emotions: "As expected, everything the Shadow said was true!"

Sasuke, suppressing his grief and anger, uttered his final question: "The Mangekyou Sharingan is an eye gained only through the loss of love! Itachi! A heartless demon like you cannot awaken these eyes!!!"

"Heh heh heh..." Itachi laughed again, then said in a sinister tone, "It seems there's something Shadow hasn't told you... I've never activated the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"!" Sasuke's eyes widened.

Swish! !

Itachi appeared beside Sasuke, whispering in his ear with a smirk, "These Mangekyou Sharingan residing in my pupils belong to our father, Uchiha Fugaku!"

"Do you know, Sasuke, that before your father breathed his last, he was begging me not to kill you..."

"!!!" Sasuke was almost suffocating.

"Heh heh heh!!!" Itachi kicked Sasuke hard in the stomach.

boom!!

Sasuke's back slammed against the wall, his head bowed, his hand gripping a sharp stone tightly until blood mixed with stone dust flowed down...

"Ah, I understand, I finally understand..." Sasuke swayed as he got up, his head bowed, then slowly raised. The three tomoe on his right eye rotated, transforming into a six-pointed star!

"Awoooooo... Itachi!! You're a heartless demon!!!!!!!!!"

Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan awakens! Responding to his furious emotions, the purple chakra flames of his Susanoo rise fiercely, transforming into a skeletal form!

"What!?" Itachi covered his face with his hands, blocking the gust of wind that was rushing towards him!

Looking at this scene in the crystal ball.

Lin Yu was a little flustered: "Hey, this is really beyond my expectations!"

Madara's lips curled slightly upward: "Hmph... It seems he already possessed the potential to awaken the Kaleidoscope in both eyes, but he couldn't truly let go of the idealized image of his older brother until the demonic image of his older brother, instilled in him by you, was confirmed with his own eyes. His heart went berserk due to the loss of love, and his eye power awakened. What I'm truly curious about is, through this battle, to what extent his eye power will grow..."

Sasuke stood amidst the radiance of Susanoo, gripping the cursed sword Murasame, and coldly declared, "Itachi, I, Uchiha Sasuke, will act on behalf of heaven and slay you, you demon!!!"

Well done, Sasuke! You've become stronger, so your brother can better control the situation! In this battle, your brother will unleash the full potential of your eyes and grant you eternal light!

Itachi secretly rejoiced, then said ruthlessly, "Oh~ you want to act on behalf of heaven and slay demons? Then tonight I'll use your heart and liver as a snack with my drinks, hehehehe!"

The two formed a hand seal together.

—Fire Release: Great Fireball!

Chapter 504 A Battle Between Brothers!

raging!

The thin pillars of fire that spewed from the mouths of the two men exploded into huge fireballs in front of them, and the intense heat from the collision made the interior of the shrine feel like a steam room!

At this moment, Itachi was only fourteen years old, which was the age when he had just defected from Konoha in the original work!
