"Damn it, no sleeping!"
The thought that if even he forgot Naruto, then Naruto would truly have never existed filled him with sorrow. Memories kept surfacing in his mind, like twinkling stars, reflecting each other.
"Hey, you're Sasuke Uchiha? I heard you're a genius?"
In his memory, it was Naruto when he was a child. Naruto was looking at him with a displeased expression, but he didn't want to pay any attention to him. However, Naruto's next words caught Sasuke's attention.
"That's quite a coincidence. I'm even more of a genius than you geniuses. The geniuses you speak of are merely those who have just crossed my threshold. You can confidently chase after me now, but even if you give it your all, you'll only ever catch a glimpse of my shadow."
Sasuke was so angry at Naruto's incredibly arrogant words that he laughed. This guy had such a big mouth; it was the most arrogant person he had ever seen in his life. He never expected that such a small Ninja Academy would have such a big mouth.
It wasn't until Sasuke was defeated by Naruto countless times that he realized Naruto hadn't been exaggerating; he truly possessed the strength.
Later, he became good friends with Naruto and discovered Naruto's past. After spending a lot of time together, his family also included Naruto...
Even now, someone actually wants to erase all the memories of Naruto from his mind, to make Naruto disappear from this world completely. Sasuke will never allow it.
"Damn it!"
Sasuke his teeth, his Sharingan spinning wildly in his pupils until it finally coalesced into a complex pattern—his unique Mangekyō Sharingan was complete.
"Damn it, you bastards, get out of here!"
As Sasuke activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, the surge of his eye power caused the sharp pain in his head to disappear.
"I must create a world with Naruto."
Sasuke clenched his fist and said with a look of hatred on his face.
But just as Sasuke finished speaking, a voice that was all too familiar came from the side.
"No, Uchiha Sasuke, what's wrong with you? What do you mean by creating a world with me in it?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Sasuke stiffly turned his head and saw that familiar face from his memories, looking at him speechlessly with a look of utter disdain.
Finally seeing the person he wanted to see, Sasuke rushed over and hugged Naruto, who looked disgusted.
"That's great, Naruto. I thought you... I thought you..."
Sasuke's voice choked as he spoke; he was so excited he was almost crying. God knows how terrified he was when he realized he was the only one who knew Naruto existed, and the whole world had forgotten Naruto.
Now that he's finally seen Naruto, Sasuke can finally relax.
"Hey, get away from me, you've got your snot all over me."
Sasuke was met with Naruto's utterly disdainful voice.
But Sasuke was extremely content; he was content just to see Naruto again.
Naruto ignored Sasuke and took Sasuke back to the Uchiha Clan.
First, he raised an eyebrow at Fugaku and Itachi, indicating that the mission had been completed successfully. Fugaku and Itachi, who were in the distance, also revealed a meaningful smile. Their eyes were filled with apology as they looked at Sasuke, but the apology quickly disappeared when Sasuke looked over.
After Sasuke returned, he seemed to have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and soon fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, in Uchiha Fugaku's study, the three of them were drinking tea.
Fugaku spoke with some confusion.
" Naruto, isn't what we're doing a bit too unfair?"
"Kindness? Can kindness awaken Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Naruto's words left Fugaku speechless for a moment, but he quickly realized that being kind wouldn't help Sasuke awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
However, the three of them still looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
That's right. All the things they encountered before were Genjutsu created by the group specifically to target Sasuke, with the aim of awakening his Mangekyō Sharingan.
As we all know, the Mangekyō Sharingan requires experiencing tremendous emotional fluctuations to awaken. However, Sasuke, Itachi, and Naruto used to watch the night of the massacre of Sasuke's clan like a TV series, which made Sasuke develop an immunity to it. So Naruto teamed up with the others to create a super-large-scale Genjutsu for Sasuke.
Fortunately, Sasuke is still young and not very skilled in Genjutsu, otherwise he would definitely have noticed something was wrong. Luckily, everyone's gamble paid off, Sasuke actually fell for it.
If Sasuke activated Sage Mode back then, he might have actually discovered something amiss.
Fortunately, Sasuke's mastery of Senjutsu was still a bit lacking; otherwise, the Genjutsu might have automatically dispelled after he activated Senjutsu.
Most importantly, to prevent Sasuke seeing through their scheme, Fugaku and Itachi cast Genjutsu on each other. The Genjutsu involved the fact that they had never met Naruto and had never heard of Naruto before.
This is why Sasuke didn't realize the two were lying. They were telling the truth; under the Genjutsu of genjutsu, they didn't even know who Naruto was, so why would they lie?
"Sigh, it's just that Sasuke is the one who suffers."
"Haha, it's alright, Fugaku. Think about it, Sasuke awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan most members of the Uchiha Clan could only dream of in their entire lives. You should be secretly happy about it."
Naruto's words made Fugaku laugh heartily; he realized that he was doing all this for Sasuke good.
Fugaku and Itachi exchanged a glance. They had made up their minds that this secret absolutely could not be told to Sasuke, otherwise that kid would definitely be so angry that he would tear the house down.
"But Naruto, does that thing in your Genjutsu really exist?"
As if recalling something terrifying, Fugaku couldn't help but shudder as he asked these questions.
Naruto was also taken aback; he hadn't expected Fugaku to ask about that.
He smiled, nodded, and gave them a definite answer.
"Don't worry, that thing really exists."
After hearing Naruto's words, the two men's expressions darkened even further. How could they possibly feel at ease? That terrifying thing actually existed! They had thought it was just a monster Naruto had made up.
"Don't worry, they generally won't appear."
As Naruto said this, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Just kidding, that's a monster I created myself based on from Cthulhu using powerful Genjutsu. It might be a little different, but it's definitely enough to scare Sasuke.
Fortunately, it was a success; Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan was finally complete!
