Seizing Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi Space

The laughter and joking of Team 7 was for Uchiha Sasuke.

His lifelong Nightmare was the Massacre Night, when he witnessed his favorite brother kill his father and mother and cut off their heads.

This scene is far too cruel for an eight-year-old child.

But even that freak Uchiha Itachi wasn't satisfied.

He attacked Sasuke with Tsukuyomi, repeating this horrific scene countless times until Sasuke's mind was on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, Uchiha Sasuke's life dream was to kill Uchiha Itachi.

Thanks to the comfort of Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha Izumi, and the acceptance of his clan, Uchiha Sasuke's heart gradually calmed down, but his hatred for Uchiha Itachi also settled down and became deeply rooted.

Even though he knew that the Uchiha Itachi in front of him was not the real Itachi and that his strength was only a third or less, Uchiha Itachi Sasuke the help of his Team 7 teammates.

If he hadn't seen Naruto grab Uchiha Itachi's foot, he wouldn't have been injured by a mere Explosive Tag due to his emotional state.

Not every Ninja is as stupid as Nawaki.

Soon, Uchiha Sasuke composed himself, walked to Uchiha Itachi's side, and took out a Kunai, pressing it against Itachi's back.

Uchiha Rong lay on the ground, ignoring Team 7 and unmoved by Sasuke's Kunai.

He had already deactivated his Sharingan, and his pupils had turned black.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi's personality underwent another reversal, transforming him back into the composed, calm, and wise Itachi.

His expression was gentle and calm as he smiled and said, "My dear brother, this body is merely an avatar that carries my will through Secret Technique. Even if you pierce my heart, you cannot threaten my life."

"So go ahead and do it. As long as it lets you vent your emotions, I don't care what happens to me."

"Shut up." Veins throbbed on Uchiha Sasuke's forehead. "Don't treat me like a child you can toy with!"

"Before I kill this body of yours, I will interrogate you to extract information about the Akatsuki. If you truly care about your younger brother, then honestly tell me everything!"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head and said, "Everything else is fine, but I'm afraid I can't disclose any information about the organization, because I, missing-nin, am still Ninja!"

Naruto Uzumaki walked over and said to Itachi, "You know you're missing-nin, but even missing-nin have to be loyal?"

Uchiha Itachi tried to push the sand away with his lips, turned his head, and looked at Naruto, saying, "Is this strange?"

As long as I remain Ninja, I must remain loyal.

Uchiha Itachi's smile grew even gentler, as if he weren't being interrogated by Konoha Ninja, but rather chatting with a close friend.

When Sakura Haruno emerged from the yellow sand and appeared in sight alongside Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke, a sharp glint flashed in Itachi's eyes.

He suddenly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile and said, "This clone can only bear thirty percent of my strength, and the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is also unusable."

Uchiha Sasuke tensed up, his Kunai piercing Uchiha Itachi's skin before he casually asked, "Oh, what are you trying to say with this? Or do you feel resentful about your loss?"

Unable to move anything below the neck, Uchiha Itachi struggled to move his head, which was turned to its limit, using his facial muscles, even ignoring the Kunai tearing open the wound on his back and causing blood to flow freely.

His black pupils suddenly transformed into Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and within half a second, patterns unfolded, activating the Mangekyō Sharingan.

When the Mangekyō Sharingan at Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura Haruno, Uchiha Itachi laughed, "I lied before. Not all Mangekyō Sharingan abilities are unusable. I have techniques specifically designed to deal with powerful enemies!"

[Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan, Tsukuyomi]

Oops!!

Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke were terrified when they saw those eyes, and they jumped up and retreated.

Unfortunately, they were a step too slow. Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan with them, and the triangular windmill pattern was clearly imprinted in the pupils of the three of them.

Sakura Haruno didn't realize the problem until she was hit by the Genjutsu. She was tragically dragged into the mental world of the Genjutsu space Tsukuyomi, where all the rules were created by the caster Itachi, including time, space, mass, life reactions, and so on.

Once Tsukuyomi by the Genjutsu of Tsukuyomi, the victim is completely bound by the rules of the creator, caught off guard and unable to resist, leaving them at the mercy of the caster.

Theoretically, Ninja's Genjutsu techniques cannot cause physical damage, but they can severely damage a person's mental state, and this mental damage will be reflected in reality.

However, Tsukuyomi is known as the strongest offensive Genjutsu, not only because the mental damage it causes is irreversible, but also because this technique is theoretically unbreakable.

Because in the Tsukuyomi World, time is at the mercy of the caster.

Uchiha Itachi could extend one second in the real world into a long period of 72 hours, and could also extend one second of those 72 hours into a whole day.

Even if a companion disrupts the Chakra in time, the victim will experience a torment that feels like hundreds of years within the one second they are free from the Genjutsu.

Uchiha Itachi could also reverse the process, matching one second in the Genjutsu space to one minute or even one hour in the real world, thus extending the time it took for the victim to break free of the Genjutsu as much as possible.

He did this to buy Obito Uchiha more time to travel.

Within the Tsukuyomi Space woven by Uchiha Itachi, the sky was an ominous and dark red, the heavy crimson clouds remained motionless, and countless carrion Karasu swarmed around the subject, their cawing the only sound in the space.

Everything was so unpleasant, giving rise to a sense of oppressive despair.

Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura Haruno were tied to a large cross, their bodies aching from the rough wood.

Uchiha Itachi stood before the two men, holding a katana, looking around in confusion.

Where is Naruto Uzumaki?

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, you really are a cunning and treacherous bastard. I should have listened to Izumi-neechan and not communicated with you at all. I should have just killed you."

Then Sasuke grinned mischievously again. "Aren't you panicking because you can't see Naruto Uzumaki?"

"That's good that you can't see it!"

"Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of our Konoha. He received Genjutsu defense training several years ago and has extensive experience in resisting various Genjutsu."

"Uchiha Itachi, your body is indeed a puppet, but is your spirit a puppet too?"

Uchiha Itachi's pupils suddenly contracted to a tiny point. "What do you mean?"

Sasuke gritted his teeth and said, "Literally, your body is a puppet, and no matter how I kill you, I can't kill you. But if I kill your spirit within the Tsukuyomi Space, can't I kill you too?"

Uchiha Itachi remained silent, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning rapidly as he searched the Tsukuyomi Space.

But he couldn't find Naruto Uzumaki no matter what he did, and Sasuke's sarcastic words kept coming.

"You foolish older brother, you created your own Genjutsu space, but it's become someone else's playground, and you can't even find it yourself. Isn't that embarrassing?"

"Don't bother trying anymore. No matter how hard you search, you won't find it."

"Naruto Uzumaki is a disciple of the Fifth Hokage. Under the Lord Hokage's tutelage, his understanding of Genjutsu and space far surpasses your imagination!"

"You fool—ouch!"

Uchiha Itachi finally couldn't hold back any longer. He raised his katana and plunged it into Sasuke's eye, causing Sasuke to scream in agony.

Upon hearing his younger brother's screams, Uchiha Itachi showed no reaction whatsoever; his expression was exceptionally cold, like that of a Coldblood executioner.

When Uchiha Sasuke had adjusted to the pain and was about to speak again, Uchiha Itachi stabbed him hard in the other eye.

He even twisted the knife handle, widening the wound and causing even more intense pain.

"Wow!!!"

The excruciating pain caused Uchiha Sasuke to scream repeatedly, and he only managed to hold on for a few seconds before falling into a coma.

When Sasuke slowly woke up and opened his eyes again, he showed no fear of Uchiha Itachi in front of him and immediately started cursing.

He's Uchiha Sasuke, a true man who endured the damage of Tsukuyomi at the age of 8! A tough guy!

He would never yield to the madman Uchiha Itachi, absolutely not!

Because it was within the Tsukuyomi Space, Uchiha Itachi clearly had no more scruples, and his katana showed no mercy, stabbing Sasuke's body again and again, bringing him pain.

"To provoke me like this in my Tsukuyomi Space is truly an irrational and foolish act."

"How long can you endure this kind of pain?"

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and grinned maliciously. "Believe me, I can be with you until the end, you foolish older brother!"

[Well done, Sasuke!]

[Uchiha Itachi's attention is completely captivated by you!]

[Hurry up, Naruto! It really hurts!]

[Don't listen to that Uchiha kid, take it slow, you have to succeed on the first try!]

[Understood! Kurama!]

[Damn you, you vixen! Are you getting revenge on me? What did I ever do to you?]

[Ha, Uchiha brat, you haven't offended me, but your Uchiha has, and more than once!]

[Hurry! I can't stand the pain anymore!]

[Okay, okay, I'll turn off the pain sensor for you first.]

[It doesn't hurt anymore, right? Give me another 15 seconds.]

[Hey, Uchiha Itachi decides the time within the Tsukuyomi Space, how am I supposed to estimate 15 seconds?]

[You idiot Sasuke, now time is determined by your gut feeling.]

[Hmm? Oh! Ah! Okay!]

Then Sasuke unleashed his full power, ignoring all damage and unleashing a torrent of profanities. Uchiha Itachi pierced his heart, killing Sasuke instantly.

In the Tsukuyomi Space, death does not exist, because Uchiha Itachi wove the rules, does not know what death is.

So, in just one second, Uchiha Sasuke was revived.

Because there was no pain and no rule of death, Sasuke didn't experience any suffering at all, and he continued to curse with boundless energy.

There are 6 seconds left.

Uchiha Itachi finally confirmed that Sasuke could not feel pain, thus confirming that there was a problem with the Tsukuyomi Space.

Thinking of the missing Naruto Uzumaki, he naturally knew who was behind it.

Without almost any hesitation, Uchiha Itachi went to Sakura Haruno's side, multiplied himself into four, and then stabbed her with his sword.

Sakura, who had been unconscious, was suddenly jolted awake by the pain. After letting out a piercing scream, she fainted again from the pain.

Then Uchiha Itachi shouted, "Naruto Uzumaki! Come out here!"

"If you don't come out, I'll keep letting this girl get hurt for you. If she dies or gets maimed, it'll all be your fault!"

Naruto Uzumaki didn't come out, nor did he speak.

The Fifth Hokage Shazo, taught him that the most important thing when fighting an enemy is: whatever the enemy wants us to do, we must never do it.

Conversely, if the enemy doesn't want us to do something, then we must persist in doing it.

There are 3 seconds left.

Uchiha Itachi seemed to sense the danger as well, and his actions became noticeably more reckless. He directly pierced the hearts of Sakura Haruno and Uchiha Sasuke.

"If you don't come out soon, I'm going to kill them all. If they die too many times, they'll really think they're dead and will never wake up again!"

There are 2 seconds left.

Uchiha Itachi's pupils shrank to pinpoints, his body swelled up, and the katana in his hand grew larger in sync.

A single slash could cut Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura Haruno into four pieces and destroy all surrounding buildings.

The Tsukuyomi Space began to collapse, but Naruto Uzumaki still did not appear.

Only one second remains.

Uchiha Itachi went completely mad. He no longer cared about forcing Naruto Uzumaki out, but instead desperately began to destroy, trying his best to destroy the Tsukuyomi Space.

Just as he was wreaking havoc, dawn broke!

The dark and gloomy blood-red space faded away, and the Tsukuyomi Space transformed into a blue sky with white clouds. The ground was no longer covered with skeletons, blood, and corpses, but with tender and lush green grass.

The cross binding Uchiha Sasuke Sakura Haruno disappeared, and they landed on the soft grass, smelling the refreshing fragrance of flowers.

All the pain I had just experienced vanished in an instant.

Sakura Haruno only suffered for a few seconds and hadn't even fully experienced the pain before Naruto Uzumaki rescued her, making it feel like a dream.

Uchiha Sasuke suffered much more; he endured far too much pain and could never forget it.

At this moment, on the vast and boundless land, there stood a towering tree, and Uchiha Itachi "grew" on the trunk of this tree.

But Uchiha Itachi wasn't one; there were two.

The man on the left Uchiha Itachi, has a gentle face and a refined demeanor; the corners of his mouth are turned up as if he is smiling.

The man on the right Uchiha Itachi, had a ferocious expression, a sharp and ruthless aura, and his nasolabial folds were even deeper, connecting with the corners of his mouth, making him look like a monster ready to devour its prey.

Uchiha Sasuke asked in confusion, "How can there be two Uchiha Itachi?"

7

Naruto Uzumaki slowly rose from the ground and said, "Because Uchiha Itachi has two completely opposing personalities; in other words, he's a schizophrenic madman."
