A strange memory crept into Shinsei's mind.
He saw himself in a hospital, looking at his mother in a hospital bed, with an infant lying beside her. His mother smiled weakly at him.
"Itachi, this is your younger brother, Sasuke. You must protect him well."
The dignified father stood by the water and said to him, "Itachi, look closely, this is Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan."
After saying this, the father Hand Seals and spat out a flame from his mouth, which instantly transformed into a raging fireball that exploded in the water.
He followed suit, Hand Seals and spitting out a fireball that exploded on the water's surface.
The teacher put the Forehead Protector on her head, smiled, and said, "Congratulations, Itachi, you've graduated early!"
At home, Sasuke snuggled into his arms, pouting, "Brother, when are you going to train me?"
She reached out and touched his forehead. "Wait until you're a little older."
"Hey!" A little girl wearing clothing with the Uchiha Clan Crest called out to her, "My name is Uchiha Izumi, what's your name?"
A black-haired boy with a warm smile placed his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile:
"I am Shisui Uchiha. You can train with me from now on."
Carrying her younger brother on her back, a cute little boy stood before her, bowing respectfully and saying timidly:
"Thank you, big brother, for letting me watch your cultivation. May I know your names?"
In the woods, Shisui placed his hand on his shoulder, watched the little boy walk away, and said gently:
"Itachi, don't come to this place again. Shinsei is a genius of Konoha; we shouldn't have any more contact with him."
A series of memories intertwined, instantly reminding him that the Sasuke before him was his younger brother, and that he himself was Uchiha Itachi.
" Sasuke!" Shinsei smiled broadly, extending his right hand to gently tap Sasuke's forehead. "You've grown up!"
Sasuke didn't move, he just watched as Shinsei touched his forehead.
That familiar smile, that familiar tone of voice—aside from the difference in appearance, everything about him told her that the Shinsei standing before her was now her older brother.
Uchiha Itachi!
A familiar yet entirely new Uchiha Itachi, whose memories are stuck before he was ten years old, who can accompany him!
Sasuke felt a stinging sensation in his eyes, and reached up to touch his face. So, he could cry after all?
Shinsei reached out and wiped away Sasuke's tears, asking, " Sasuke, why are you crying? You're a man, you shouldn't shed tears."
Sasuke suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter grew louder and louder.
"Haha, hahahahaha..."
This was his own brother, a brother who hadn't killed their parents. He let Shinsei help him wipe the blood and tears from his face, a smile playing on his lips.
"Seeing how loving you brothers are, I really can't bear to interrupt you," Shinsei's voice suddenly came from behind the tree.
Sasuke looked surprised and turned around to see Shinsei walking out from behind the tree with a mocking smile on his face.
He turned his head again and saw Shinsei looking at him with a gentle expression.
Shadow Clone!
The sudden turn of events made Sasuke realize instantly that what he had changed with his right eye was merely a clone of Shinsei.
Sure enough, Shinsei in front of him turned into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated into the air.
He couldn't help but reach out to grab it, but he could only grasp at thin air.
Sasuke's face contorted, revealing a ferocious expression, and he clenched his teeth.
A flood of unfamiliar memories flooded Shinsei's mind, and an unfamiliar force tried to sway his will. He snorted coldly, and his immense mental power crushed the suppression into dust.
Shinsei's face turned cold as he said to Sasuke, "Now that I know you have the Mangekyō, how could I be so careless as to examine your eyes?"
Sasuke smiled coldly and remained silent, as a massive amount of purple Chakra surged from his body.
Sasuke screamed, covered his eyes, and knelt on the ground. Purple Chakra enveloped his entire body, forming a several-meter-tall half-skeletal figure.
Susanoo!
Shinsei looked at the famous Mangekyō ability in front of him without feeling the slightest fear.
If it were the complete form, it might be able to fight me, but it's just the first stage of Susanoo, which isn't even a warm-up for me.
But that's good too. Ever since developing the Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals, there has never been a target that can't be cut through. After upgrading it to Senjutsu, it's even more invincible.
There's always a feeling of being lost and confused when you look around after drawing your sword. So let's see if Susanoo's defense can block my Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals.
Sasuke stood up, his face contorted with rage. " Shinsei, come and feel the power of the Uchiha!"
Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Shinsei chuckled. "Just Mangekyō Sharingan? How could it possibly give Sasuke the illusion that he's on par with me?"
Furthermore, isn't it risking going blind from using the Mangekyō so frequently?
Sasuke knew this clearly after obtaining the training materials left behind by the Uchiha Clan.
Shinsei looked at the boy opposite him and said solemnly:
" Sasuke, it seems that holding back against you has given you the illusion that you can fight me. You have no idea of my true strength!"
As your senior, I'll help you correct this misconception today.
Purple, skeletal-shaped Chakra enveloped Sasuke's entire body, making his face appear arrogant.
Susanoo raised its hands high, clenched them into a fist, and slammed it down hard towards Shinsei.
Shinsei looked up at the enormous hands, which remained motionless, and a purple-white Chakra sword emerged from between their two fingers.
Then let me show you!
The purple-white Chakra sword, aimed at the falling skeletal arms, swung across and sliced Susanoo's hands in two.
What you are so proud of, the so-called power of the Uchiha.
Shinsei discarded the purple-white longsword in his hand, leaped up, raised his fist, and slammed it down on Susanoo.
How insignificant we are!
With a loud crash, Susanoo shattered like glass.
Sasuke was about to make a move, Shinsei grabbed his neck with his left hand.
Shinsei lifted Sasuke with one hand, stared into his eyes, and spoke calmly, each word distinct:
"Have you made enough of a scene?!"
Sasuke used all his strength, no matter how he channeled his Superhuman Strength, he couldn't move an inch. All he could do was stare fiercely at Shinsei with his two scarlet Mangekyou Mangekyō.
"I don't like the way you look at me." Shinsei said calmly while increasing the pressure of his left hand.
Sasuke's face turned bright red, and he stopped struggling.
Shinsei lifted Sasuke high with his left hand again, then slammed him to the ground forcefully.
With a loud bang, the earth was slammed into a deep crater, and countless cracks spread outwards.
Before he could act again, Sasuke's neck was once again gripped by Shinsei, and a barrage of punches rained down on his face.
"Are you awake yet? I'm asking you, are you awake yet?"
Bang! Bang!
The fist kept pounding on Sasuke's head, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he lay limp on the ground.
Shinsei looked at Sasuke, who was no longer moving on the ground. The Mangekyou Mangekyō in his eyes had disappeared, and his eyes had lost their previous ferocity, becoming empty and blank.
Are you awake?
Shinsei lifted Sasuke up again with his left hand, while a purple-white Chakra sword materialized between the two fingers of his right hand.
Sage Art: Storm Release: Storm Sword!
The Chakra flowing rapidly along the longsword caused the air to hum.
Shinsei pointed his longsword at Sasuke's chest.
"If you're sober now, you can die!"
The longsword thrust straight down!
