Itachi, How Did You Go So Out of Character...

[Uchiha Fugaku: "Thank you for understanding, Lord Madara..."]

[Sasuke Uchiha: "Heh heh, I should kill Itachi in the video soon, right?"]

[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "...It's hard to say, kid."]

[Ōnoki: "You haven't appeared in any of the earlier videos. Is it possible that your brother probably killed you?"]

[Sasuke Uchiha: "No, impossible! I've got the Mitsudomoe!!!"]

The video continued.

Itachi began explaining how the Mangekyō worked to Sasuke.

Itachi slowly walked down the steps, his gaze calm.

Sasuke looked just as shocked when he heard Itachi's words.

"Besides that, does the Mangekyō have any other secrets?" Sasuke looked coldly at Itachi.

"That's right. There's an even more important secret..."

Itachi looked at Sasuke before him, his pupils somewhat unfocused.

"What is it? Answer me, or I'll kill you!" Sasuke's gaze remained cold.

"Then let me tell you a story from the past..." Itachi's voice was calm.

As he spoke, the scene around them changed.

Simply put, during the Warring States period, the nations had fallen into chaos.

Countless members of the Uchiha Clan were killed or wounded,

but two important top-tier fighters soon emerged...

Madara and his younger brother, Izuna.

The two made names for themselves with the power of their Mangekyō Sharingan, but the good times didn't last.

As Madara used his Mangekyō more and more,

his eyesight gradually deteriorated until he was plunged into endless darkness.

Madara refused to accept his blindness and tried everything, but still couldn't regain his sight.

So, late one night, Madara gouged out his younger brother's eyes while he slept.

Soon,

the Mangekyō Sharingan merged, becoming a new Sharingan... the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!

Madara gained a brand-new power and felt an unprecedented, immense ocular power.

After what Madara had done came to light,

members of the Uchiha Clan began following his example, stealing their own brothers' eyes.

When the story was over, Itachi sounded somewhat excited:

"Surpassing that man... surpassing Madara, I will be the one to truly approach the pinnacle of the Uchiha.

And now, I've finally obtained the power to surpass Madara!"

"Sasuke!!!"

Itachi suddenly shouted, his expression turning deranged.

How to put it? His acting was pretty over the top...

"To me, you're my new light. You're my spare parts!"

Itachi reached behind him, and a massive Genjutsu appeared, sending threads racing toward Sasuke in the distance.

"The Uchiha Clan exists only to kill our brothers and obtain eternal ocular power!"

"Come, my foolish little brother. I'll kill you, seize that legendary true power, and surpass Madara Uchiha!"

"Free myself from my own limitations!"

[Deidara: "???"]

[Hidan: "Huh, is that really Itachi?"]

[Kisame Hoshigaki: "Mr. Itachi, you..."]

[Uchiha Mikoto: "Itachi, what are you..."]

[Uchiha Fugaku: "Ahem..."]

[Sasuke Uchiha: "Itachi, is that why you didn't kill me that night...?"]

[Uchiha Itachi: "."]

[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "Uh, I didn't understand this video. Is the Warring States history Itachi talked about true?"]

[Uchiha Izuna: "It couldn't be more false. It's pure unofficial history!"]

[Madara Uchiha: "Itachi, my brother gave me his eyes willingly. It's one thing to make things up here... but what you made up is so fake!"]

[Fourth Raikage A: "Only an idiot like Sasuke would believe that..."]

[Indra: "I think Sasuke's a pretty smart kid. He should have the Mangekyō, right?"]

[Sasuke Uchiha (adult): "."]

The video continued.

Seeing Itachi's deranged expression, Sasuke quickly broke the Genjutsu.

Itachi stared at Sasuke in the distance,

surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected his younger brother to be able to break his Genjutsu.

But...

Sasuke quickly unwound the bandages from his hands.

Without another word, he prepared to throw all his Shuriken at Itachi.

"Death is the only end for you!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sasuke quickly hurled a barrage of Shuriken.

Itachi threw Shuriken as well.

Clink, clink...

Inside the pitch-black room,

sparks flew everywhere.

Their weapons collided,

clanging and clashing nonstop. The scene was exceptionally fierce!!

[Kakashi Hatake: "Are their hands really that fast?"]

[Ōnoki: "Is this the Uchiha's foundation?"]

[Uchiha Izuna: "Those two are testing the perceptive power of their Sharingan against each other!"]

[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "That's terrifying!"]

The video continued.

The two rushed at each other as the array of Shuriken in the air slowly fell.

Next,

the two clashed again.

Without a doubt, this was the most serious match Itachi had ever fought.

Itachi's Shadow Clone suddenly charged out of a corner. Seeing this, Sasuke's pupils abruptly contracted.

Itachi had still been able to make Hand Seals during that exchange?

The Shadow Clone hurled three Kunai in succession!

At the critical moment,

a white snake suddenly emerged from Sasuke's shoulder and blocked the attack.

Itachi quickly let go of Sasuke and jumped away, putting distance between them.

Without further ado, the white snake vanished in a puff of smoke.

Holding a Fūma Shuriken, Sasuke quickly threw it into the distance.

Itachi's Shadow Clone raised a Kunai to block it, but to no avail.

Sasuke's Shuriken was infused with lightning-nature Chakra!

Crack, crack...

The Shadow Clone's arm was quickly sliced open,

and it then turned into crows that flapped their wings and dispersed into the air.

The crows swiftly rushed toward Sasuke.

In the blink of an eye,

Itachi appeared before Sasuke and decisively kicked him into the distant wall.

Just as Sasuke tried to get up, he was struck by several more punches.

Sasuke froze.

Holy shit, how did Itachi suddenly get so strong?

[Hanzo of the Salamander: "The more I watch, the more something feels wrong..."]

[Tobirama Senju: "Strange, why hasn't Itachi used Water Release Ninjutsu yet?"]

[Yamato: "Could Itachi have been deliberately hiding his strength all along?"]

[Sasuke Uchiha: "Enough! Who understands him better, you or me? Itachi is cautious by nature. He'll definitely give this match everything he's got!"]

[Hashirama Senju: "True, he looks very serious..."]

The video continued.

Itachi slowly reached out toward Sasuke's eye.

"Forgive me, Sasuke..."

"This is reality. I'll be taking your light!"

With a crack, Itachi took Sasuke's eye!

"Aaaah!!!!"

Sasuke clutched his eye, gritting his teeth, his face contorted in pain.

Blood ran down his hand.

"I told you, without the Mangekyō Sharingan, you can't beat me." Itachi's voice was calm and firm.

Everyone watching the video froze at the sight...

Holy shit, did Itachi really gouge out Sasuke's eye?
