"Ah!"
Just as Shinji was thinking about how to further refine the Aging Agent, Sasuke suddenly let out a scream beside him and collapsed to the ground.
Haku hurried over and asked Sasuke, "What's wrong?"

Sasuke rolled around on the ground in pain, having completely lost the imposing air he'd had moments ago.
"Let me take a look!"
Shinji stepped forward, helped Sasuke up, and examined him.
The wound on Sasuke's abdomen looked frightening, drenched in blood, but it wasn't actually serious. Shinji gently brushed it with Medical Ninjutsu, and it nearly healed at once.
After giving it a quick bandage, Shinji turned his attention to Sasuke's eyes.
The state of Sasuke's eyes was extremely strange. One still had the Mangekyō Sharingan, its scarlet iris gleaming with an eerie light. The other had reverted to an ordinary dark eye, and looked completely dull.
Shinji wondered to himself, Is this because he used Izanagi?
During the battle just now, Upper Moon Two had indeed cut Sasuke in half at the waist. Sasuke had revived only because Izanagi had briefly twisted reality. But activating Izanagi to twist reality certainly came at a cost!

In his view, peering into and twisting fate was a serious transgression.
By comparison, peering into fate was
