Although Kakashi had been mentally prepared, when the intense pain struck, he still couldn't suppress a muffled groan.
Uchiha Itachi expressionlessly drew out his long blade, then stabbed it in again, inflicting searing pain on Kakashi over and over until Kakashi could no longer endure it and lost consciousness.
Yet when Kakashi opened his eyes, he was still in that bizarre world, still bound to a cross, with two Uchiha Itachis holding long blades standing before him.
"In the world of Tsukuyomi, space, time, and even mass are all under my control. For the next seventy-two hours, I will keep stabbing your body with a blade."
The two long blades pierced his body one after another. Kakashi's eyes flew wide as he let out an extremely stifled, agonized scream, and at some point, he lost consciousness again.
Yet when Kakashi opened his eyes once more, he was still in that bizarre world. Everywhere he looked were crosses, each one bound with himself, and two Uchiha Itachis stood before him once again.
Stay calm! Stay calm! This is just a genjutsu!
Kakashi kept comforting himself in his mind. Uchiha Itachi seemed to have seen through his thoughts. As he stabbed him with his blade, he said, "You'd better not underestimate this technique just because you think it's an illusion. This pain isn't an illusion. It is exactly the same as pain in reality. How long can your mind hold out?"
The blade entering his body made sounds like air leaking from a balloon. Amid such agony, the only thing in Kakashi's eyes was the blood-red sun in the sky.
Under this hellish torment, Kakashi wished he were dead. When he regained consciousness from another fainting spell, countless Uchiha Itachis stood before him.
"Seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty-nine seconds remaining."
Only one
