Itachi: My Little Brother Is Too Weak. How Am I Supposed to Go Easy on Him?

[Mizukage Mei Terumi: "That looks painful..."]

[Kurotsuchi: "So, did Sasuke die at Itachi's hands?"]

[Shisui Uchiha: "No, this is Genjutsu!"]

[Zabuza Momochi: "How is it Genjutsu again? Damn..."]

[Kakashi Hatake: "So this is Itachi of the Sharingan?"]

[Hashirama Senju: "Knockoff Kakashi, your title isn't bad either!"]

[Tobirama Senju: "Big brother, are you an idiot? He's called Kakashi the Copy Ninja!"]

[Kakashi Hatake: "Ahem..."]

The footage continued.

"I'll take the other one too," Itachi said slowly.

The Cursed Seal suddenly spread across Sasuke's face, and Itachi quickly put distance between them.

A black wing had appeared on Sasuke's body!

Seeing this from a distance, Itachi frowned deeply.

Next, he had to find a way to force Orochimaru out of his little brother's body.

Itachi took a container of liquid from his robes and placed the eyeball Sasuke had just lost inside.

Sasuke watched, his expression growing even more pained.

"This is the difference between you and me... and also..."

Another Itachi suddenly stepped out of the corner. "The difference between our visual prowess!"

Sasuke was held in place by the Shadow Clone, unable to move.

Itachi walked slowly toward him. Without wasting words, he reached out with his bloody hand toward Sasuke's eye.

At the very last moment, the power of the Cursed Seal gathered around Sasuke's eye.

With a crack, the scene suddenly turned black and white.

Images were repeatedly sliced apart like mirrors. Crack, crack, crack...

The cracking grew more intense, and before long, a new reality took its place.

Without a doubt, what had just happened was Genjutsu too.

Sasuke gasped for breath, looking weak as he knelt on the ground.

In the distance, Itachi looked just as weak. He had fallen to his knees, clutching his eye.

"You... broke my Tsukuyomi!" Itachi said.

Sasuke slowly got to his feet, staring at Itachi in the distance.

Meanwhile,

White Zetsu and Black Zetsu appeared on the wall.

Black Zetsu began commentating on the battle between the two.

[Kakashi Hatake: "This... the Mangekyō's visual prowess was overcome by a Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"]

[Fourth Raikage A: "Rigged match! Refund!!!!"]

[Deidara: "Fuck you*, refund!!!"]

[Yamato: "I finally know why the title has that name. How is this just going easy? He's practically letting an ocean through!!!!"]

[Uchiha Izuna: "How the hell could a Three-Tomoe break a Mangekyō's Genjutsu? This couldn't be any faker!!!!"]

[Madara Uchiha: "This level of going easy... I acknowledge you. I, Madara, declare you the strongest master of Water Release!"]

[Tobirama Senju: "The title puzzled me at first, but now... I understand. That kid Itachi's mastery of Water Release is greater than mine!"]

[Uchiha Itachi: "..."]

At the Akatsuki,

Itachi remained expressionless as everyone gathered around him.

"Itachi, you can't go that easy on him!"

Kisame said, patting Itachi on the shoulder.

"Itachi, if you really can't bear to do it, I'll take care of that Sasuke for you.

Don't worry, I'll leave his eyes for you."

Deidara walked over too and patted Itachi on the shoulder.

Hidan glared at the footage, his face full of anger.

"The more I see of that little bastard Sasuke, the more pissed off I get!"

[Sasuke Uchiha: "Enough! You've all been fooled by that guy Itachi. He's cautious and suspicious. He'd never go easy on me!!!!"]

[Uchiha Mikoto: "Sasuke..."]

[Uchiha Fugaku: "Sigh..."]

The footage continued.

At that moment,

The commentators, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, were dumbfounded too.

What the hell?

When had Itachi gotten so weak?

Sasuke stared at the pained Itachi in the distance and said smugly,

"I should have told you, no matter how you use those eyes, I'll turn illusion into reality with my hatred!"

Hearing this, Itachi weakly stood up.

"Very well... I'll give those words right back to you!"

Without wasting any more words, the two began fighting again.

Itachi intended to use Amaterasu.

Once ignited, those flames would never go out.

However,

The next second, Sasuke threw a shuriken from his hand.

Seeing this, Itachi had no choice but to cancel his Amaterasu attack.

The distant shuriken cut through the air and suddenly became two.

Itachi was in a dilemma...

Oh no,

Those shuriken are too fast. They're so hard to dodge. What should I do?

With no other choice,

Itachi slipped through the gap between the two shuriken and escaped unscathed.

Seeing this, Sasuke rejoiced inwardly.

This was exactly the trap he had just laid!

He decisively pulled on a wire.

"A rigged shuriken?" Itachi's pupils contracted.

The next second,

A heavy iron weight in the distance smashed straight into his upper thigh.

Itachi fell flat on the ground, his expression growing more pained.

Seeing this, Sasuke sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

[Uchiha Izuna: "Holy shit!!!! A Three-Tomoe really beat a Mangekyō!!!"]

[Madara Uchiha: "Izuna, don't get so worked up..."]

[Ōnoki: "This match is way too rigged..."]

[Kurotsuchi: "Rigged match! Refund! And here I thought Itachi had won!!"]

[Kakashi Hatake: "Why didn't Itachi just jump away, or use Ninjutsu to knock the shuriken away?"]

[Uchiha Itachi: "Stop talking..."]

At the Akatsuki.

Itachi clenched his fists inside his sleeves.

He hadn't expected it.

After so many years, his foolish little brother was still so damn weak!

He had gone to such lengths to put on an act, yet Sasuke still hadn't defeated him...

[Ginkaku: "Those shuriken were too fast. He had no choice but to slip through the gap." (Laughing with his face in his hands)]

[Hanzo of the Salamander: "What about your Summoning Technique? Your Ninjutsu? If nothing else, jump away!"]

[Zabuza Momochi: "Even I could have dodged Sasuke's last attack!"]

[Tenten: "This match is way too fake..."]

The footage continued.

Itachi endured the pain and pulled the iron object out of his thigh.

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu were equally stunned as they watched from above.

Itachi struggled to raise his head and look at Sasuke in the distance, his gaze growing weaker.

"Is that a side effect of the Tsukuyomi you just used? Feels good, doesn't it? Hmph!" Sasuke taunted Itachi from afar.

He didn't believe Itachi could defeat him!

The commentators, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, began analyzing what would happen next.

Sasuke rapidly formed hand seals, then unleashed the Great Fireball Technique from his mouth!

With no other choice, Itachi leaped high into the air.

Sasuke had already anticipated this. Holding Chidori in his hand, he charged at him.

Boom!!!

The top of the entire ceiling was shattered by the blow.

Itachi emerged from the smoke, rapidly formed hand seals, and spat a blazing fireball from his mouth.

The fireball quickly ignited the smoke in the distance!

Itachi quickly landed, staring at the smoke in the distance.

Within the smoke...

Sasuke had spread his Cursed Seal wing, blocking Itachi's casual attack.

He gasped for breath, secretly surprised.

But burns of this level were still nowhere near enough!

[Hanzo of the Salamander: "I couldn't hold it in. This made me laugh..."]

[Juzo Biwa: "If Itachi had opened with Amaterasu, wouldn't Sasuke have blown up on the spot?"]

[Hashirama Senju: "This was the most seriously Itachi had ever fought a match!"]
