Itachi's words immediately sent Sasuke's thoughts spiraling.
"The way to break the curse is actually to fuse the Mangekyō Sharingan of a close relative..."
As he murmured, a chill spread through Sasuke's heart.
Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan was no easy feat. Even within the Uchiha Clan, simply opening one's eyes had stumped more than half of the clan members.

Sasuke opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he did not know what to
