Kisame visited Itachi's grave.
Drizzling rain fell, leaving the cemetery cool and damp.
After rambling about the little details of raising a child, Kisame seemed to finally unburden himself. His tone suddenly shifted, carrying heartfelt admiration and emotion as he spoke.
"Oh, Mr. Itachi, I almost forgot to tell you about the little brother you worried about and loved most-Sasuke."
At the name "Sasuke," the entire Shinobi World fell silent for a moment. Everyone instinctively focused, holding their breath.
On the Sky Screen, Kisame gazed into the distance and slowly revealed a shocking secret that would overturn everything they knew.
"Your little brother Sasuke is doing very well."
"He even awakened the Rinnegan. It's truly unbelievable."
"Your Uchiha Clan kept your secrets far too well. Everyone knows the Sharingan reigns supreme in the Shinobi World, but who could have imagined that its ultimate form was the eyes of the Sage-the Rinnegan!"
"I don't know how it happened, but just thinking about it sends chills down my spine."
Those words sent a shock through everyone!
The Rinnegan!
That was the legendary Sage of Six Paths' ultimate ocular technique, the eyes that governed life, death, and reincarnation!
And it was actually the final evolution of the Uchiha's Sharingan?!
Before anyone could process that, Kisame dropped another bombshell.
"And Sasuke has now reached the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, becoming one of its two strongest fighters."
"He also saved the entire world during the Fourth Shinobi World War."
"You could say that almost everyone in the Shinobi World owes him their life now, including me, Kisame Hoshigaki."
"I heard he chose to return to Konoha after the war ended. The rest of his life will surely be peaceful and smooth."
"You really can rest easy now, Mr. Itachi."
His words faded away.
