Brothers' War, Dancing Swordsmanship!
Traitor.
This word is quite sharp.
However, Sasuke Uchiha said it so smoothly, accusing Itachi Uchiha as a member of Akatsuki, and he certainly had the right to do so.
From the current perspective...
The two brothers' situation was indeed somewhat strange.
Itachi Uchiha, who had once killed his entire clan and defected to the Akatsuki, followed Obito Uchiha away.
Sasuke Uchiha defected from Konoha and joined the Akatsuki, which earned him high regard from Madara Uchiha and Shirou Emiya, especially since the Akatsuki he belonged to was currently at its peak!
Itachi Uchiha did not deny Sasuke Uchiha's accusations, but stared into his younger brother's eyes and said coldly, "It seems Madara Uchiha's training of you wasn't very effective. You still haven't awakened your Mangekyo Sharingan at this point?"
"Snort..."
Sasuke Uchiha snorted coldly; he wouldn't let Madara Uchiha the blame. "It was my own choice. Even without those eyes, I can kill you now!"
This was indeed his choice!
Madara Uchiha offered Sasuke the chance to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan by killing his best friend more than once, but Sasuke Uchiha never complied.
But...
Madara Uchiha did not pressure him because of this.
I have to say...
Madara Uchiha was really good to him.
Sasuke Uchiha kept all these things in mind. He knew that Madara Uchiha wanted to use him for the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan, but he would not deny the kindness Madara Uchiha had shown him.
Compared to Madara Uchiha ...
This older brother is so hateful!
Sasuke Uchiha could no longer contain Ninja Blade; he rushed forward impatiently, wanting to grab his Ninja Blade and cut off Sasuke's head!
"!!!"
A look of surprise flashed in Itachi Uchiha's eyes. Suddenly, a Kunai appeared in his hand, blocking Sasuke Uchiha Ninja Blade!
This younger brother...
That's progressed way too much!
Without the Sharingan, I wouldn't have been able to see the trajectory of this strike!
"Your swordsmanship seems much weaker than I expected!"
Sasuke Uchiha sneered, immediately noticing the fragility of the Kunai in Itachi Uchiha's hand, and suddenly swung his Ninja Blade!
In a confined space...
The glint of the blade flashed in the candlelight!
Sasuke Uchiha's figure was agile, and his sword flashes were so sharp that they were overwhelming. Each sharp blade was aimed directly at Itachi Uchiha's throat!
This is...
The real dance begins!
As Itachi Uchiha Sharingan to move, observing the traces of the Chunin Sasuke Uchiha's body, a look of shock finally flashed through his mind!
Quick!
That's too fast!
It was so fast that he couldn't even see it!
Even if he could see it, he couldn't fully accept it!
Even Itachi Uchiha had to admit that even he, or perhaps his former friend Shisui Uchiha, could not possess such terrifying swordsmanship!
This younger brother's progress...
It's truly delightful!
Whoosh!
In the brief moment that Itachi Uchiha was distracted, a spray of blood appeared on his shoulder, causing him to instinctively furrow his brow!
When the first wound appeared...
The second and third wounds followed immediately!
The look of shock in Itachi Uchiha's eyes deepened. The Kunai longer withstand the relentless barrage of sword light. After only a few exchanges, it was clear that he was about to be forced into a corner by his younger brother. No, he was already about to retreat into a corner!
"Did you feel it, Itachi?"
Sasuke Uchiha looked at his brother, who was helpless against his Ninja Blade, with disdain, as if the years of hard work he had endured under Madara Uchiha's repeated beatings and training had finally paid off!
"This is the difference between us!"
With a flick of his wrist, Sasuke Uchiha gripped the Ninja Blade in his hand and, with a sudden burst of strength, plunged both swords into Itachi Uchiha's shoulder!
This strike!
They pinned Itachi Uchiha to the wall!
A chilling killing intent flashed across Sasuke Uchiha's face as he exerted force, trying to push the Ninja Blade forward a little more. "For the past few years... no, ever since that night when I was eight, I've been dreaming of this day, Itachi!"
"Is that so..."
Itachi Uchiha's eyes fell into Sasuke Uchiha's eyes, and the crimson Mangekyo Sharingan vision, causing Sasuke Uchiha to momentarily lose his senses!
The next moment!
The situation between the two suddenly reversed!
The whole world turned black and white in that instant!
Tsukuyomi!
Genjutsu at the level of the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Sasuke Uchiha's spirit appeared in the Tsukuyomi World, but there was no panic on his face. This was because he had learned a lot about the Mangekyo Sharingan from Madara Uchiha, including information about the Mangekyou ability, Tsukuyomi!
I have to say...
Madara Uchiha not only helped a lot with the training, but the information and intelligence possessed by this former Uchiha Clan Head also provided Sasuke Uchiha tremendous assistance.
Even if Madara Uchiha only casually revealed some information, it would be enough for Sasuke Uchiha to digest. Moreover, given Madara Uchiha's high regard for Sasuke Uchiha, many secrets of the Uchiha Clan were no longer secrets to Sasuke Uchiha.
"In the Tsukuyomi World..."
"Everything here will be under your control, right?"
Sasuke Uchiha looked at the figure standing in this black and white world and coldly exposed the secret of Tsukuyomi: "Including the internal flow of time and the space we are in..."
"You seem to know quite a lot of information..."
Itachi Uchiha wasn't surprised that his younger brother knew about Tsukuyomi; he even pressed for an answer, "It seems Madara Uchiha should also tell you why I spared your life that night, and why I hoped you could awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan..."
"Oh..."
Sasuke Uchiha scoffed, seemingly unable to comprehend Itachi Uchiha's obsession with power. "For the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, right?"
"Good."
Itachi Uchiha nodded.
"Back then, you awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, so you killed our Mom eight years ago, all so that I could awaken the power of the Sharingan and steal Sharingan to gain even greater power..."
"..."
Itachi Uchiha was silent for a moment, then nodded again.
"Good."
"Your perspective is truly narrow..."
Sasuke Uchiha's lips curled into a mocking smile as he taunted his brother, who was obsessed with the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan: "Just the power of a pair of eyes has already messed with your brain. Now, are you regretting it? Even if you obtained those Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, you still wouldn't be able to do anything!"
"..."
Itachi Uchiha fell into a long silence once again.
In the past, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was an unparalleled power, even capable of rivaling the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, like Madara Uchiha!
But...
The Shinobi World now...
The power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is really not enough.
Fortunately...
My initial goal wasn't those eyes.
Itachi Uchiha lowered his head slightly, suppressing the surging emotions within him and all his thoughts, as if he were still that stubborn man obsessed with power.
"If it weren't for those eyes..."
"I can't even retain my current strength..."
When Itachi Uchiha got to this point, he looked at his younger brother as if he wanted to say something more, and then it seemed as if he suddenly realized something!
This younger brother...
They're trying to stall for time!
However, Sasuke Uchiha saw the change in Itachi Uchiha's eyes and realized that his older brother had seen through his thoughts, so he bluntly stated his own plans.
"Although in the Tsukuyomi World, you can indeed control everything, even the flow of time is entirely at your command..."
"But..."
"This will also place a huge burden on you."
"If you were to make the Tsukuyomi World experience a long period of time in an instant, your body might not be able to withstand such a huge burden..."
"It's a bit of a pity..."
"This type of Genjutsu- like Dōjutsu can probably only be broken by brute force by those with the Mangekyo Sharingan or powerful ninjas like Shirou Emiya..."
"This is the only way I can do it."
"Now I don't need to do anything, just endure your long mental torture in the Tsukuyomi World until your body collapses faster than my will..."
Sasuke Uchiha stretched out his arms, as if he had completely given up resisting. After learning about Tsukuyomi from Madara Uchiha, he had prepared a similar battle plan in advance and even trained accordingly.
"It doesn't matter."
"For me, there has never been a more painful experience than that night. Whether you kill me countless times here, or bleed me dry, or even cut open all my flesh, none of that is painful..."
"Because of this suffering..."
"None of that compares to the night you killed our Mom..."
Looking at the coldness in Itachi Uchiha's eyes, Sasuke Uchiha continued contemptuously, "I don't care if you continue to torment me with the past of that night..."
Anyway...
"Those are all true stories..."
"I have accepted the fact that my brother killed my Mom, and for me, avenging them is far more important than dwelling on the past."
"..."
Itachi Uchiha's heart skipped a beat.
Click...
A crack appeared in the sky above the Tsukuyomi Space!
The entire black and white world was quickly torn apart, like a photograph being ripped apart piece by piece!
At this moment, Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha returned to the real world at the same time, and their wills returned to their minds at the same time, quickly allowing their brains to take over their bodies!
"Chance!"
Sasuke Uchiha immediately sensed the opportunity and swiftly slashed at Itachi Uchiha's neck with his Ninja Blade. Even though Itachi Uchiha had actively released Tsukuyomi under the pressure of his body, he would still be momentarily unable to react!
At this moment...
This is also his opportunity!
The blade flashed and slashed towards Itachi Uchiha's neck!
However, red skeletons suddenly appeared on Itachi Uchiha's body, and the huge red skull forcefully knocked Sasuke Uchiha to the ground!
"Snort..."
Sasuke Uchiha rolled to the ground, leaning on his Ninja Blade as he looked at the red skeleton emerging from Itachi Uchiha's body, a flash of annoyance crossing his face.
"So they 'Susanoo directly?"
Sasuke Uchiha slowly stood up and directly mocked Itachi Uchiha, who was protected within the red Susanoo: "Your courage is getting smaller and smaller, Itachi..."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Itachi Uchiha covered his eyes, seemingly accepting his younger brother's mockery without question, and even spoke in a way that sounded like praise, expressing his helplessness in the face of his brother.
"After all... your sword is too fast, Sasuke."
