"Huff, huff, huff..." Sasuke held the blood-soaked stone, breathing heavily.

"Sasuke!!!" But Itachi, lying in a pool of blood, suddenly raised his head, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye burst open with blood vessels!

Heavenly Bodhisattva, humble fate!

Boom!

The scene suddenly changes. In the world of illusion, Sasuke finds himself bound by four chains, hanging in mid-air!

call out!

Itachi's figure materialized below, stroking a butcher's knife: "Tenpubi no Mikoto, this eye technique can inflict real damage within the world of illusion. As long as the difference in eye power isn't enormous, it can kill almost any opponent in an instant..."

Sasuke shouted, "Since you have such a powerful eye technique, why didn't you use it from the beginning!"

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Itachi chuckled and said, "Good question~ This eye technique has a weakness. After killing an enemy with this eye technique, I will become extremely weak. Therefore, it is not advisable to use it when there are no helpers or when there are multiple opponents."

He raised his eyes and stared coldly at Sasuke: "It would be good to kill you outright, but knowing that you have the 'Demon Sword Murasame,' I've decided to play it safe..."

"But I've already defeated Murasame, which means a true one-on-one situation has been created. I can now use this eye technique to kill you without any more scruples!"

"After I kill you, I will use your heart and liver as wine, then gouge out your eyes to gain eternal eye power. By the way, the demon sword Murasame seems pretty good too. It's a powerful helper that I can carry with me. With Murasame in hand, even if I use Tenpubi no Mikoto in the future, I won't have to worry about my physical body weakening..."

"Hahahaha... I will prove my path through killing and cleanse my soul with blood. I, Uchiha Itachi, can finally sever all karmic ties and transform into a true Asura! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Whoosh! Itachi's body hovered in mid-air, a maniacal smile on his face, as he floated towards Sasuke, then raised the butcher's knife in his hand!

Sasuke closed his eyes in despair!

Hey!

But... the pain of limb separation did not come; instead, something warm touched his forehead!

In reality, Sasuke opened his eyes and stared in disbelief at his brother standing before him!

On that bloodied and mangled face, there was a smile he couldn't understand, and his lips moved, uttering words he couldn't comprehend...

Then, Itachi's two fingers, which had been pointing at his forehead, slowly slid down his cheek, leaving two streaks of blood...

thump!!

Itachi fell to the ground, lying on his back, his eyes devoid of any trace of life!

He's dead!

Splash!

Cold rain fell from the sky. Sasuke stared blankly ahead. After a long while, his eyes moved and he glanced at Itachi's corpse. Thud! The stone fell to the ground, but the bloodstains on it could never be washed away!

Sasuke collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious...

In the Feather Emperor City,

"It seems it's over..."

Yu stood up and disappeared into the vortex of spacetime.

The Uchiha stronghold has been completely reduced to ruins. Because the two brothers' power far exceeds that of the first battle in the original work, the battle is much more brutal.

I just didn't expect... that Itachi was so strong at this moment that he needed to 'commit suicide by poison' in order to appear to lose to Sasuke in a legitimate way!

Boom! Thunder rumbled across the sky, and the rain poured down even harder.

Yu stood in the rain, gazing at the weasel's corpse with a complex expression.

He recalled the conversation between the two before Itachi decided to join the battle.

At that time, Lin Yu asked a very practical question: "Itachi... after your battle with Sasuke, how do you plan to exist in the world? First of all, according to your idea, my Omota Style is not feasible because you died at Sasuke's hands. If you reverse your time, the causal connection will also interfere with Sasuke, and then your plan will become full of loopholes."

"Therefore, my first recommendation is the Impure World Reincarnation. After I awaken my Rinnegan, I will revive you..."

Then, Itachi, who had always revered him, scrutinized him with a sharp gaze for the first time: "Before we talk about this, Lord Shadow, I have something to ask you... What method do you plan to use to awaken the Rinnegan? If Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra, the most direct way for you to obtain his power is to transplant his eyes, right?"

Has the moment finally arrived to confront this sharp contradiction?

Lin Yu stated frankly, "If this were before, that would indeed have been my plan..."

Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, what about now?"

Lin Yu looked at the mark on his palm: "Now, there's no need to resort to such barbaric methods..."

Itachi asked, "So, how much of an impact will your method have on Sasuke?"

Lin Yu said, "I can assure you, it won't affect the foundation of his growth..."

Itachi clenched his fist slightly: "So... there will always be some impact, more or less?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, but I will consider compensating him in other ways..."

After much deliberation, Itachi released his grip: "Lord Shadow, thank you for telling me all this so frankly... After my death, please resurrect me using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but please allow me to voluntarily break free from its control. I will still serve the Dark Ninja Kingdom and be loyal to you, but..."

Lin Yu spoke the rest of the sentence for Itachi: "But, you'll be monitoring me. Will you keep your promise?"

Itachi said, "I'm sorry... You've been so kind to me, I shouldn't feel this way, but Sasuke is the only one I can protect, my beloved little brother. I'll do anything to protect him! Of course, you can choose to use Kotoamatsukami on me, but I have my own countermeasures!"

When it comes to his younger brother, Itachi is that tough!

"Oh? Itachi, as expected of you... you considered every possibility." Lin Yu had no doubt about Itachi's words. Since he dared to say it, he must have truly found a way to deal with Kotoamatsukami.

Lin Yu said, "Okay, I promise you..."

Itachi's tense expression immediately relaxed, showing that he still respected and trusted Lin Yu: "Please ensure that the Konoha vassal states do not mention any truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre! Let that matter be buried forever in the annals of history! Eliminate any possibility of Sasuke finding out!"

"Okay." Lin Yu nodded in agreement.

Itachi bowed deeply to Yu: "Then I'll leave things to you after I'm gone, Lord Shadow!"

My thoughts returned to reality.

Yu removed Fugaku's eyes from Itachi's eye sockets, and then put Itachi's corpse into the space-time dimension.

Yu turned to look at the unconscious Sasuke: "Sasuke, be thankful, you have a good older brother..."

Yu took Sasuke back and, without consulting him, transplanted Fugaku's eyes into him!

The fusion of the kaleidoscopes takes time...

But one thing is certain: when Sasuke awakens the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, that will be the time when Yu achieves the Rinnegan!

Chapter 509 A Brand New Beginning!

Behind the Feather Emperor City, Lin Yu formed hand seals.

Impure World Reincarnation Technique!

Whoosh! Dust billowed up, clinging to the sacrificial offering and transforming into the form of Uchiha Itachi, the dim pupils still bearing the eyes of Fugaku…

As expected, the characteristics restored after being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation are not innate, but mainly depend on the affinity between the souls in their previous lives!

Even if the eyes are not the original ones, as long as they were fully adapted to in life, they will still carry them after being resurrected.

Nagato's Rinnegan was a gift from Madara, not something he was born with. In the original work, even after Nagato was resurrected using Edo Tensei, he still possessed the Rinnegan because he had used it for most of his life, and his soul had developed an affinity with it.

At the Kaleidoscope level, the eye power restored after being resurrected through Edo Tensei is no different.

Lin Yu murmured to himself, "Looking at it this way, the only thing that can restrict the Impure World Reincarnation is the Rinnegan, right..."

The Rinnegan resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique cannot restore all of its power, which is proof that the Rinnegan is superior to the Impure World Reincarnation technique!

"Itachi, welcome back..." Yu lowered his hand seals and greeted him with a smile: "Do you need me to tell you the seal to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation?"

"No need, I've already investigated." Itachi formed hand seals and pressed them to the ground.

——Impure World Reincarnation - Release!

When Itachi got up again, he had broken free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Lin Yu said, "I've already transplanted your father's eyes into Sasuke. Soon, he'll be able to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Itachi said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Lin Yu asked, "Do you want to return to Phantom City and serve as its city lord?"

Itachi gazed into the distance and asked, "Could Phantom Castle be entrusted to Sasuke's management?"

"Oh?" Lin Yu asked curiously, "It's possible, but why is that?"

Itachi, with a long-term vision, said, "Sasuke may possess immense power, but he's still a child at heart, easily swayed by various influences. He has a long way to go, and I don't want him to go astray. Therefore, I want to use governing the city to help him develop interpersonal skills and understand the principles of dealing with people..."

"Of course, in order to be responsible to the people and ninjas in the city, it is essential to have an experienced person assist him in managing the affairs, so as to avoid making decisions that would harm public opinion. This is my personal request!"

After Itachi finished speaking, he solemnly bowed before Lin Yu.

Yu hurriedly helped Itachi up, saying, "There's no need for that. After Sasuke awakens his Sharingan, I will appoint him as the Phantom Duke and find experienced people to guide and assist him!"

Itachi sincerely replied, "I am deeply grateful! I will join 'The Dark Curtain' and work with Shisui to secretly clear obstacles for the ninja nation!"

The Dark Curtain is an organization established in the Dark Ninja Kingdom over the past six months, replacing the original Anbu (secret ninja units) of the ninja villages.

Their functions extend beyond the ninja world; they gather intelligence on matters detrimental to the ninja nation throughout the entire world and, based on that intelligence, eliminate those who harm the interests of the ninja nation!

In the future, ninjas will be unified and will no longer fight among themselves. The most likely threat will come from the secular world, whose population is ten thousand times smaller!

Therefore, if the Ninja Kingdom wants to establish itself, it must have a matching intelligence agency!

Shisui is the leader of the dark curtain!

That was an organization that truly roamed among all walks of life, working quietly and embodying the essence of ninja!

"After a brief moment of light, you continue to walk in the darkness. Itachi, you still chose this path after all..."

A few days after Itachi was resurrected using Edo Tensei, another man found Lin Yu.

In terms of status, the Ghost Duke, Hozuki Mangetsu, is on par with Itachi!

Full Moon said, "Lord Shadow, I am indeed not suited for a high position. Please allow me to return to my original post..."

Lin Yu said, "Man Yue, you have made enough contributions to the Dark Shadow over the years. You can consider enjoying your retirement and waiting for the day when 'Shui Yue' grows up. Why suffer and toil anymore..."

Full Moon said with a complicated expression, "That's true, but I've discovered that the country where my brother lives isn't entirely stable either; there are still many unstable factors."

"Therefore, for my younger brother and many other children like him to be able to grow up carefree in this precious land, the efforts of our generation are indispensable! It is not time to enjoy a life of leisure yet! Therefore, I earnestly request to return to my original job, join the Dark Curtain, and do my part for the long-term peace and stability of the Dark Ninja Kingdom!"

Lin Yu was deeply moved, beyond words. He solemnly said, "Man Yue, on behalf of the 3.2 million citizens of the Dark Ninja Kingdom, thank you!"

And so, Manyue stepped down from his position as duke. When Lin Yu suggested that Shuiyue inherit his title, Manyue refused. He said that Shuiyue's personality was not suited to rising to a higher position, and that his status would become a cage that would restrict Shuiyue's nature. He hoped that Shuiyue would have a carefree childhood and find his own path in the future.
