"This is Uchiha Itachi, who almost wiped out the Uchiha Clan at the age of 13."

Sakura Haruno circled the large tree, scrutinizing the gentle-looking Uchiha Itachi from head to toe, clicking her tongue in amazement. "Upon closer inspection, he's actually quite handsome."

"But the nasolabial folds are too deep; they'll turn into wrinkles in another two years."

Uchiha Sasuke said coldly, "Don't worry, he won't live to see the day he has wrinkles."

"Besides, who in our Uchiha Clan isn't handsome?"

Sakura Haruno shuddered, instantly transforming from a fangirl to a simp, circling around Sasuke and calling him "Sasuke" Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke listened with obvious impatience, but a strange smile inexplicably crept onto his lips.

At least when it comes to Sakura, he beat Uchiha Itachi.

Naruto Uzumaki was working when he suddenly realized that the connection between the Sealing Array he had drawn was broken, which puzzled him greatly. He quickly checked what he had drawn.

After confirming that his work was correct, he looked up and saw his two teammates flirting. They had messed up several parts of the Sealing Array they were responsible for, and he was both amused and exasperated.

Naruto joked, "You two haven't finished your work yet. Can't you go home and show off your love some more?"

Sasuke's handsome face flushed red. "Naruto, who's showing off their love?"

Sakura happily replied, "Okay, Captain!"

Naruto pointed out their mistakes, and they quickly corrected them.

Just then, a violent earthquake struck the Tsukuyomi Space, and thousands of cracks suddenly appeared on the ground. But what gushed out of the cracks was not magma, but a deep red, almost black despair.

Fortunately, there was no tremor or cracks near the towering tree that trapped Uchiha Itachi.

Orange-gold light emanated from Naruto Uzumaki's body, then transformed into a large orange fox— the Nine-Tails sealed within Naruto 'Human Body.

After the Nine-Tails transformed, it slammed its two front paws into the ground, leaving two fox paw prints. The orange Tailed Beast Chakra spread out, forcibly closing the cracks in the earth and suppressing the source of the earthquake.

Having completed the suppression, Nine-Tails spoke up, "Naruto, be careful. Uchiha Itachi hasn't given up on Tsukuyomi Space."

Naruto Uzumaki said seriously, "Yes, Uchiha Itachi is a monster. He learns the rules so quickly. Our control over the Tsukuyomi Space won't last long."

Naruto Uzumaki was able to seize the Tsukuyomi Space because Naruto frequently entered and exited the Sealing Space and was very familiar with the virtual world created by this type of Ninjutsu. He was able to infiltrate the Tsukuyomi Space and manipulate it by using the power of the Nine-Tails.

First, create a spatial interlayer and hide inside so that Uchiha Itachi can't find it.

Then, based on his understanding of the laws of the world, he made various modifications to the Tsukuyomi Space.

As a disciple of the Fifth Hokage Shazo, Naruto Uzumaki learned not only Ninjutsu, but also profound knowledge of the various laws of the Ninja World.

Therefore, Naruto's understanding of the world far surpasses that of Uchiha Itachi. When he uses this knowledge to alter the Tsukuyomi Space, he encounters no resistance because of the "relative correctness" of his knowledge.

As the master of the Tsukuyomi Space, Uchiha Itachi was certainly capable of resisting, and could even easily overwhelm Naruto Uzumaki by taking advantage of his home field.

Unfortunately, Itachi lacked knowledge of the laws governing the world, and all changes were beyond his comprehension. He was not only unaware of these complex changes, but also unaware of the vast majority of them.

Therefore, Naruto Uzumaki and Nine-Tails worked closely together to perform a super-large upgrade to the Tsukuyomi Space, successfully using the original Tsukuyomi World as the core, and suppressing Uchiha Itachi along with him at the core of the New World.

But Naruto never expected that Uchiha Shū, who was in Extremis, would show unprecedented resilience and incredible genius.

While resisting the seal on the Tsukuyomi World, he was also rapidly learning the world laws woven by Naruto Uzumaki, quickly improving his understanding of the Tsukuyomi World.

How much time has passed, yet it has already shaken the Tsukuyomi World.

When genius reaches this level, safety becomes irrational.

Naruto Uzumaki clicked his tongue in amazement. "No wonder my teacher repeatedly warned me to treat him with caution. Uchiha Itachi's strength is completely unreasonable, as if the entire Ninja World is standing behind him."

Uchiha Sasuke's face turned deathly pale. "Even the Fifth Hokage said so, is there no way I can kill him?"

Naruto Uzumaki, "No, that's not it."

"The teacher said this phenomenon is called being favored by fate, and such people are called Child of Destiny, who can achieve twice the result with half the effort in whatever they do."

"I can learn any knowledge after reading it once, master it after practicing it once, and make breakthroughs after thinking about it. I can win battles against stronger opponents, find treasures that others cannot find during adventures, and Luck from seemingly insurmountable traps."

"However, fortune also has its ups and downs."

The teacher's assessment of the Child of Destiny smiles, heaven and earth lend their support; when fortune turns, even the Superstar are powerless."

"Such people often undertake a mission, and are invincible until the mission is accomplished, but after the mission fails or is completed, they have to pay back everything they have gained."

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and asked, "Naruto, did the Fifth Hokage say when Uchiha Itachi would die, and what can I do before then?"

Naruto replied, "Our teacher really did say that Uchiha Itachi's destiny was too strong, and he wouldn't live past 25."

"Moreover, as long as we continue to strike at Uchiha Itachi, forcing him to reveal his trump cards prematurely, we will continuously diminish his luck and hasten his death."

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly relaxed, like a drowning person suddenly rescued, and began to breathe heavily.

He said with relief, "Good, that's good. As long as my efforts can kill him sooner, then it wasn't a waste of time."

Naruto Uzumaki, "Although this will be dangerous, Sakura and I will help you."

Sakura Haruno nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, we'll all help you. We'll make sure you can kill Itachi with your own hands."

Uchiha Sasuke was moved, and he said firmly, "Thank you. Let's start working hard from now on."

Sakura Haruno was overjoyed. "Okay, let's work hard together!"

Naruto Uzumaki extended his hand and bumped fists with his two teammates. "After today's lesson, Uchiha Itachi will fix the flaws in the Tsukuyomi Space and won't give us another chance to seize Tsukuyomi Space."

"So we must seize this opportunity and teach him a lesson he won't forget."

"Keep it up!"

The members of Team 7 continued drawing the Sealing Array, and this time they were all full of energy, greatly increasing their work efficiency.

The Tsukuyomi World is essentially a spiritual world constructed from Chakra, so Chakra and mental will are the strongest forces that go hand in hand.

When Team 7 was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit, it was as if they had divine assistance. Even the most difficult sealing structures, which had never been successfully completed before, were all accomplished in one go.

When Uchiha Itachi unleashed the Nine-Tails 'Chakra to suppress the world and trigger the second Tsukuyomi World earthquake, Team 7 had already completed the construction of the Sealing Array.

Naruto called out, "Kurama, we're done! Come back now!"

Nine-Tails flicked its fluffy tail and complained haughtily, "I've already told you, don't call me by my name in front of others. Don't do it again!"

After giving Naruto this warning, Nine-Tails released its suppression of the world, transforming into an orange-red light that flowed into its host's body.

Just then, the two Uchiha Itachi on the tree trunk opened their eyes and exclaimed in unison in surprise, "Naruto Uzumaki, you are Perfect Jinchuriki!"

Naruto Uzumaki said smugly, "Yeah, but you can't bring this information back with you."

The sinister Itachi laughed, "Hehehehe, you think you can kill me with this Sealing Array?"

The gentle Itachi shook his head and said, "Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, as Ninja, you can't be so arrogant and conceited, otherwise you'll easily find yourself in a passive position."

Itachi's gentle voice was calm and sincere, as if he truly cared about the younger members of Team 7.

Uchiha Sasuke's Chunin softened upon hearing this, and he took a deep breath to suppress the feeling.

The Evil Weasel scoffed, "What's the use of you playing the good guy? We're their enemies, and mortal enemies at that!"

"Won't we just kill them again next time we see them?"

Gentle Itachi sighed, "One thing at a time. I definitely have to kill them next time we meet, but that's impossible this time, so it's not a problem for me to show my concern."

The Evil Weasel spat, "What a bastard! This is a huge problem. I think you're even more perverted than me."

Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno thought to themselves: [That makes a lot of sense; he really is a super pervert.]

The three of them found it particularly amusing to listen to Itachi arguing with himself.

Especially Uchiha Sasuke, he never imagined that his aloof and gloomy older brother had such a dual nature.

However, they did not let their guard down. While listening, they Hand Seals as quickly as possible and worked together to activate the Sealing Array.

Suddenly, the gentle Itachi spoke up, praising, "Excellent! You haven't let your guard down at all, diligently preparing to activate the Sealing Array. You are already the most outstanding Ninja."

"May I ask what kind of Sealing Array this is?"

Uchiha Sasuke proudly replied, "This is the [Mind Stone Illusion-Killing Array] that the Fifth Hokage commissioned the Kurama Clan to develop after examining my injuries. It's specifically designed to counter your Tsukuyomi, you traitor."

Naruto Uzumaki continued, "The teacher made significant improvements to this Sealing Array, changing its target from specific individuals to Genjutsu or the mental world."

"Humans or monsters can dodge, hide, and transfer damage, but the world itself cannot be moved, dodged, or have damage transferred."

"Once your spiritual world is Shattering, for someone who creates and exists within that world, this is an absolute and unavoidable blow."

Gentle Itachi exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being the Fifth Hokage!"

The Fiend Itachi roared in fury, "Damn Shazo, this is specifically targeting me! Just how much does he want me dead?"

"Kill him! I must kill him!"

Gentle Itachi sighed, "Don't even think about it. The Fifth Hokage Shazo, is the strongest Ninja World. No one can kill him."

The Evil Weasel was even more furious. "What's wrong with you? Why are you always going against me?"

The gentle weasel asked curiously, "That's only natural, otherwise why would we have separated?"

The evil Itachi flew into a rage, unleashing a torrent of profanities, which quickly angered the gentle Itachi. The gentle Itachi retorted, "Every word you utter to me is an insult to yourself," further enraging the evil Itachi.

The two itachi argued back and forth, getting more and more heated, until they became two angry itachis who looked more and more like one person.

Naruto Uzumaki noticed that the two Itachis' expressions were now synchronized. A chill ran down his spine, and he whispered, "Sasuke! Sakura!"

"Uchiha Itachi is playing tricks!"

"He might be preparing something big!"

"Speed up!"

The two Itachis suddenly stopped arguing, and with completely identical expressions and in perfectly synchronized tones, they said, "Naruto Uzumaki, you're truly perceptive! No wonder you're the disciple chosen by the Fifth Hokage!"

"But you're still too late. I've already completed all the preparations."

The eyes of both itachis simultaneously transformed into Mangekyō Sharingan, and dense, crimson-orange Chakra emanated from their bodies, forming their skeletons.

The two Itachi said in unison, "Outside of Tsukuyomi, I can't use Susanoo through clones, but inside Tsukuyomi, my power is as great as my heart!"

The orange-red Susanoo from the ground, a colossal Gods clad in helmet and armor, instantly breaking through the trunk of the tree and freeing the two itachi from their confinement.

They both let out strange laughter, then looked down at Team 7 Konoha: "So, you were one step too late, and you lost everything!"

But none of the students in Team 7 showed any signs of panic; on the contrary, their faces were full of surprise at seeing something so unusual.

Naruto Uzumaki shouted, "Uchiha Itachi, you're wrong. We weren't a step behind!"

Suppressing the barely concealed envy and jealousy in his eyes, Uchiha Sasuke loudly continued, "We've been preparing to activate the Sealing Array for a long time!"

Sakura Haruno said smugly, "Our subsequent Hand Seals were all to suppress the Sealing Array and prevent it from activating prematurely."

Naruto Uzumaki, "I know how I infiltrated the Tsukuyomi Space, and I also know that you now have at least two personalities. Of course, we need to be wary of you using one of your personalities to deplete our powerful attacks."

"So we've been waiting, waiting for you to gather all your strength so we can deliver the most fatal blow."

Countless points of light emerged from the cracked earth, connecting with each other to form a complex three-dimensional Sealing Array.

The tree fragments, shattered by Susanoo, were also glowing as they flew through the air. They then transformed into countless streams of light, converging into the light spots at the nodes of the Sealing Array, causing each light spot to expand tenfold.

Itachi, who had already partially merged with Susanoo, discovered that Susanoo seemed to have fallen into a giant Spider, entangled in countless spider Silk, unable to move.
