Uchiha Itachi furrowed his brow slightly. "Did you deliberately bait me into using that move?"
Uchiha Ye nodded honestly. "It's pretty powerful, after all. I wanted to test it."
But hearing this only made Uchiha Itachi frown even more. "You seem to... know what abilities I have?"
"But this is the first time I've used this ability. How could you, someone I've never met before, counter it so skillfully?"
"Besides, this isn't an attack that can be transferred away. Once it touches you, it can't be extinguished, and it spreads rapidly, creating an even more terrifying blaze!"
Amaterasu's black flames burned incredibly fast.

It made him uneasy!
"Then why do you think... I'd tell you the answer?"
Uchiha Ye smiled, completely at ease. "Of course, you do make me wary."
"Your right eye's Amaterasu and your left eye's Tsukuyomi, for one!"

Even he couldn't quickly recover from the emotions stirred by the information Uchiha Ye had revealed.
He had never felt this unsettled
