Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

Before the words could even finish, a vortex-like spiral suddenly appeared in the void beside them.

The black hole at the center spiraled out and released a humanoid figure wearing an orange mask, whose hand was aimed directly at Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.

"I'll accept the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan leader!"

Fingers shrouded in black robes rapidly approached Fugaku Uchiha; he was just an inch away, and the gouging out of his eyes would become an unavoidable reality.

However....

"Tenyu Tsuchio!"

Fugaku, weak and lying in Itachi's arms, forced his eyes open, and the pattern of three intertwined yin-yang fish reappeared.

In an instant, the immense Yin Release chakra vibrated the strings of fate, bringing a thunderous, collapsing echo.

From the hazy illusion, it seemed that the whole world had been turned upside down—right under the faint light revealed in the crimson eyes of Uchiha Fugaku.

The future has been woven.

"Sakura, Itachi, let's do it!"

Upon hearing Fugaku Uchiha's shout, the two instinctively brandished their blades.

Sakura Haruno roared with intense sword light as Itachi Uchiha thrust his Totsuka Blade swiftly forward.

The overwhelming pressure of the domineering aura and surging chakra caused the masked man to completely disintegrate, turning into a pile of minced meat.

But in the next instant, the masked man, who had fallen to the ground along with the dust, suddenly reappeared dozens of meters away.

"Izanagi?"

Uchiha Itachi used a sharp blade to shield his father, his Sharingan eyes fixed on the masked man in the distance.

"Hey, Uncle Fugaku, can you go any further...?"

Sakura Haruno wanted to call on Fugaku Uchiha to deliver another powerful blow to the opponent.

However, the spreading Observation Haki swept over a gradually weakening aura, and the words that the girl hadn't been able to say were swallowed back down.

Sakura, dragging her weary body, raised her Supreme Grade Sword Ace once more and charged forward.

—It's just a weird mechanism, trying to devour the numerical power of my Great Pirate!

Itachi, who was standing nearby, wanted to step forward to help, but Fugaku Uchiha grabbed his hand.

"Father?"

The young man lowered his head, his pupils trembling violently.

This father, who was usually taciturn, tall and strong, looked so old and fragile at this moment.

"How did you become like this? Your battle with Sakura should have been..."

Fugaku Uchiha coughed twice, and specks of blood-tinged foam landed on his clothes.

"Ahem, I used the Heavenly Harvest Life Technique many times before she arrived."

"We will exhaust all possibilities of the future to find a way to avoid bloodshed."

"But I failed."

Fugaku Uchiha gripped Itachi Uchiha's shoulder tightly, his bloodshot eyes staring blankly at the sky.

His continuous use of the kaleidoscope brought him to the brink of blindness, to the point that he could no longer even see his son's face clearly.

"I once thought these eyes could help the Uchiha find their future, but you've seen the result."

"However, I also realized something during the battle with that girl."

Fugaku Uchiha raised his hand and touched Itachi Uchiha's eye socket.

He poured all of his ocular power, which was like a flame that could be extinguished at any moment, into Uchiha Itachi's pupils.

—Kaleidoscope Eye Technique: Ame-no-Tsuchi!

Under the manipulation of a pre-ordained future, Fugaku's eyes were transferred to Itachi Uchiha.

Only two empty voids remain within my eye sockets.

"What truly creates the future is never eyes or eye techniques, but people! Especially you young people."

"So, Itachi, my complacent son, go and forge your own future!"

His pupil power was severed, and his Yin Release chakra was completely burned away.

Fugaku Uchiha's hand fell to the ground, and the warmth from his body gradually dissipated in the cold rain.

"Father...."

Tears welled up in the young man's eyes, mingling with the rain falling from the sky.

Amidst the increasingly torrential rain, a kaleidoscope adorned with three yin-yang symbols and shuriken patterns lit up.

By fusing the eye powers of both father and son, Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan underwent a transformation, reaching a higher level.

Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!

The powerful Sharingan, which was recorded on a stone tablet passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan, would never again pose a risk of blindness.

The immense power filled Itachi Uchiha's body, but the pain in his heart could never be healed.

"Sakura, get out of the way!"

An angry roar rang out behind Sakura Haruno.

Sakura Haruno unleashed her Divine Escape Slash with all her might, forcing the masked man in front of her into a void state, and then flew into the air using Moonwalk.

As the masked man exited his intangibility state, his one eye met Itachi Uchiha's eyes, which were filled with rage.

"Tsukuyomi!"

The illusion was activated, and amidst the swirling blood rain and black clouds, the masked man realized that he had entered a special illusionary space and was bound to a cross.

"What a pity, it seems you don't intend to continue working with me."

"Should we give up the opportunity to lead the world towards peace?"

The masked man didn't seem worried at all; instead, he chatted familiarly with Itachi Uchiha.

"What kind of peace is it if you can't even protect your own family?!"

With a ferocious expression, Uchiha Itachi drew his long sword and plunged it into the masked man's body.

"Uh!"

Blood streamed down the masked man's body, and he howled in pain.

"I control everything here, from space and time to quality."

"For the next 72 hours, I will keep stabbing your body with a knife."

"Experience the pain to the fullest; only talk about 'peace' if you can endure it!"

Countless Uchiha Itachi appeared in the genjutsu space, coldly thrusting their blades at the masked man, tearing him to pieces.

"71 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds remaining!"

A voice as sharp as a biting wind rang out, announcing the masked man's fate.

Outside, in a split second, the masked man convulsed and collapsed to his knees.

"Damn it, has this reached its limit?"

Having already wasted a three-tomoe Sharingan and been tormented by Tsukuyomi for three days, the masked man couldn't take it anymore.

He raised his listless eyes and glared fiercely at Sakura Haruno and Itachi Uchiha.

The spiral-shaped spatial distortion reappeared, and the person was sucked in and disappeared.

The Uchiha hawk ninjas around them gradually regained consciousness and began to surround them one after another.

"Looks like there's still more to come!"

Sakura Haruno, falling from the sky, revealed a wild smile, her trembling hand gripping the hilt of her sword once more.

"No need, Sakura has already done enough for us. Leave the rest to me!"

Uchiha Itachi pressed down on Haruno Sakura's head and ruffled her hair.

The young man stepped past the girl, his pair of eternal kaleidoscopes scanning everyone.

Chakra roared like thunder, and the phantom of a god dominated the entire area.

"You guys, listen to me!"

Chapter 27 Shimura Danzo, Always One Step Too Late

"Eye of God!"

"God bless the Uchiha! Two pairs of God Eyes have appeared!"

"Let's take Konoha in one fell swoop tonight!"

Hearing Itachi's voice and seeing the powerful Susanoo shadow.

The many Uchiha present at the gathering excitedly echoed this sentiment, crowding together to throng towards Uchiha Itachi.

As they approached, they saw Fugaku Uchiha lying lifeless beneath Itachi Uchiha.

"Clan leader?"

Astonishment spread across the faces of many Uchiha, like a contagious disease.

"As you've all seen, this is the curse of the kaleidoscope!"

Uchiha Itachi made no attempt to conceal the secret of his Mangekyou Sharingan, revealing his even higher level of vision to everyone.

The powerful eye force of the Eternal Eye oppressed the three-tomoe ninjas, making them unable to lift their heads.

"But so what? We can gain power!"

Filled with fanaticism, Uchiha Shin pushed aside several ninjas and rushed out of the crowd.

"Shut up!"

"Look around you. Do you want those children and your families to become like you are now?"

"To become... a mad dog?"

Uchiha Itachi grabbed him by the collar, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu was etched into Uchiha Shin's mind.

Let him watch in the illusion space as his relatives, son, and grandson kill each other for an eye.

Finally, he saw his young grandson lying face down in front of the pool of blood, his eyes wide open like a kaleidoscope, gently licking the blood with his tongue, then looking up at him and smiling.

"Hoo!!"

The color drained from Uchiha Shin's face, and he collapsed to the ground, his limbs going weak, cold sweat mingling with the rain.

"What should we do? There's nowhere left for us here!"

Among the crowd, a Jonin from the Uchiha clan sobbed and roared at Itachi Uchiha.

"Leave!"

Uchiha Itachi sighed softly.

"Why should we? Konoha was founded by our Uchiha clan!"

There were still some Uchiha ninjas who refused to yield, roaring in defiance, but most others fell silent.

"We still have countless women and children who need Konoha's care!"

Uchiha Itachi retorted expressionlessly, leaving the ninja speechless.

"Our departure will allow them to have a better life."

"Those who want to run away together, come on over!"

With that, Itachi Uchiha removed his Konoha ninja headband from his head and threw it on the ground before walking toward the exit of the village's barrier.

Some of the Uchiha gritted their teeth and followed, while others slumped to the ground, utterly dejected.

"Itachi... so it really came to this."

Sakura pondered, her emerald eyes watching Itachi Uchiha lead his clan on a long journey, her sharp blade hanging down.
