Itachi Will Kill His Father? You Must Be Under a Genjutsu!

Seeing Sasuke fidget so awkwardly, Obito's expression turned gloomy.

Kakashi watched Sasuke from the side, a hint of resignation flashing through his dead-fish eyes.

"Sasuke, you're too fixated on hatred. Knowing the truth doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a result..."

Kakashi suddenly spoke.

He knew that the hatred in Sasuke's heart had already taken deep root and could not be easily erased.

But he also understood that hatred would only drag Sasuke deeper and deeper until he finally walked toward destruction.

"Hm? You're awake?"

Obito and Kakashi both glanced over.

"Teacher Kakashi!"

Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kakashi swept his eyes over them, then continued immersing himself in Make-Out Paradise.

Although the artwork was rather conservative, it still had its charms, especially those half-hidden...

Thrilling!

"Oh? Kakashi, does that mean you know who it was?"

"Tell me. This Sasuke kid is mumbling like some girl. Tell me, and I'll overlook the fact that you secretly used the eyes of my Uchiha Clan!"

"I'll talk! I'll talk! But I have one condition!"

A look of struggle appeared on Sasuke's face, but his tightly clenched fist soon dropped limply.

"Go ahead, kid!"

Facing this world's pitiful last Uchiha, Obito also felt inclined to help him.

"I can tell you who did it, but I must be the one to avenge this grudge!"

Sasuke spoke through gritted teeth.

"How big a problem could that be? I agree! But if you die while taking your revenge, don't blame me for not helping you."

Obito teased him.

"The culprit who killed the entire clan... was Itachi!"

After saying this, Sasuke completely lost his strength.

"What? Itachi?!"

Obito was utterly shocked.

"Are you sure you aren't under a genjutsu? How could Itachi possibly attack the Uchiha?"

Within the Empire, Itachi loved his clansmen more than he loved himself. He would rather endure everything day and night and shoulder the burden himself than say a word and let his family bear more pressure.

Itachi was extremely proud, and he loved his family deeply.

He would wipe out his own clan? How was that possible?

"Genjutsu?"

At the mention of this, an unnatural trace of fear flashed across Sasuke's face, only to be covered by deep fury.

He remembered the terror of being controlled by Tsukuyomi that day!

The endless torture he had endured for three days and three nights in the Tsukuyomi space!

"I wish this were a genjutsu too! But it isn't!"

"The culprit was my big brother! That Uchiha Itachi who liked calling me his foolish little brother!"

In truth, Sasuke was more unwilling than anyone to believe that Uchiha Itachi had wiped out the Uchiha Clan and killed the clan leader—his father and mother.

But this was the bloody reality. This was reality!

Obito froze upon hearing this.

What the hell, brother? What are you talking about?

Patricide? You actually did it?

Thinking carefully, Itachi really did possess the ability to do it. And apart from Sasuke, Itachi was the only person who could make Fugaku Uchiha accept his fate without resisting.

But why?

No, the question isn't why he left behind the last Uchiha.

The person Itachi loved most was his little brother, Sasuke.

Why would he attack his entire family?

What kind of blood feud could make him stain both hands with the blood of his own clansmen?

Was he under Kotoamatsukami?

"What about Shisui Uchiha? Didn't Shisui stop him? Shisui should have had the strength to do that, right?"

Obito knew that Shisui was the softest-hearted and most saintly person in the Uchiha Clan. There was no way he would allow Itachi Uchiha to attack his entire family!

"Big Brother Shisui... passed away a long time ago..."

The face of that gentle, water-like youth surfaced in Sasuke's mind, and a trace of sorrow flashed through his eyes.

Perhaps if Big Brother Shisui had been there, Itachi wouldn't have gone so mad...

"What?"

Obito was even more shocked this time.

"Your Shinobi World really is full of disasters..."

The thought of his own people dying at the hands of their own people made Obito feel as if he were about to crack.

I died too, and Shisui died too.

"Did he die in the war as well?"

Obito asked.

"No... I think it was suicide..."

"Huh?"

Obito was dumbfounded.

Although Shisui was saintly, he shouldn't have been so fragile that he would abandon his life simply because he could not bear the world's hardships!

What in the world is going on here?

"Kakashi, hey! Kakashi!"

Obito was helpless. He could only call out to his good friend to verify whether he was trapped in an illusion.

Kakashi gave him an annoyed glance, then continued looking at Make-Out Paradise.

"I feel like we can no longer make sense of this world's situation. Should we contact the Empire?"

Obito had no choice. He could only report all this information to the Emperor. His mission was basically half ruined already.

Right! The mission!

"Do you know about the Senju?"

Seeing Obito suddenly change the subject, Sasuke was also somewhat stunned.

"That was the First Hokage's clan..."

"Right! Where are they now?"

"...They... because the First Hokage and Second Hokage were too powerful, many people in the village grew jealous, and the two of them made too many enemies. The clan has already vanished into history... However, a small number of clansmen whose bloodline has not been awakened rule the Land of Fire. Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, seems to be the Daimyo of the Land of Fire's daughter."

Over the years, Sasuke had read through his clan's records and been influenced by what he had seen and heard, so he knew far more than his peers.

"The Senju vanished into history?"

Obito had already lost his voice for who knew how many times.

"Yes. The only powerful one was the First Hokage, Hashirama, not the entire clan."

Sasuke answered honestly.

"What about the Uzumaki Clan?"

"It is said that the Uzumaki Clan once possessed a country of its own, the Land of Whirlpools. However, because too many people feared their Sealing Technique, they were later besieged by several countries and wiped out."

"Huh?"

It was not only Obito. Kakashi also lifted his gaze from Make-Out Paradise.

Good grief, the Empire's three strongest clans have all been wiped out?

"What about the Kaguya Clan? Surely they're still around, right?"

Within the Empire, the population of the Kaguya Clan had begun to surge under the Emperor's policy of encouraging reproduction, with more than a hundred newborns every year!

"The Kaguya Clan?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Sasuke's face, the two of them knew that things were over!

My mission!

Obito's heart ached. Had his mission already failed halfway before it had even begun?

He had planned to shamelessly ask the Emperor for some Six Paths bloodline when he returned. What was the point now?

"Could it be that all the clans in your world with Kekkei Genkai have been wiped out?"

Sasuke hesitated. His mind raced, and soon, the shy figure of a girl from his class surfaced.

"I don't know about other countries, but in Konoha Village... the Hyuga Clan still exists. Their Kekkei Genkai is the Byakugan."

"What else?"

Obito pressed anxiously.

As long as there's one! As long as there's one!

Although there's no hope of obtaining the Eternal Mangekyo in this world, I can ask the Emperor to send me to the next world!

As long as I complete this mission well, perhaps I can even get the Emperor to help me awaken my eyes directly!

"What else? There isn't anything else. In Konoha Village, they're the only clan with a Kekkei Genkai, and they guard it extremely carefully. Unlike our Uchiha..."

As Sasuke spoke, his gaze swept past Kakashi's left eye.

Kakashi sighed.

Sasuke, you've misunderstood me.

But this kid... as expected of someone born rebellious. Before anyone even asked him anything, he spilled every detail about his family like beans from a bamboo tube.

Obito was completely deflated.

"Kakashi! Contact the Empire! Report our current situation first!"
