On the battlefield, a tear of blood trickled from the corner of Uchiha Itachi's eye.
This is bad. I've used my Dōjutsu too much. I'm starting to overdraw my ocular power.
Itachi looked at Shisui across from him. He knew that defeating Shisui now was probably out of the question.

"Uchiha Itachi!"
"That's right. Put your anger aside for now, then unleash it when you see Uchiha Itachi again. Turn that anger into your
