The camera continued to zoom in.
The atmosphere grew tense and suffocating.
"How far can those Sharingan eyes of yours see?"
Uchiha Itachi slowly opened his deep, unfathomable eyes. His gaze was sharp as a blade as it locked onto Sasuke.
Sasuke curled his lips slightly, his face filled with disdain. "You're asking me how far I can see?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward with steady, unwavering strides.
"What I see right now… Itachi—is the moment you die by my hand!" His voice was low, yet filled with undeniable force.
Hearing this, Itachi lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing those all-seeing Sharingan.
"The moment I die, huh…" There was a faint trace of desolation in his voice.
For a moment—
The air fell into a suffocating silence, so quiet that even the drop of a needle could be heard.
After a long pause, Itachi finally spoke again.
"Then…"
"Show it to me."
The instant his words fell, his figure vanished like a ghost, reappearing behind Sasuke.
[Konoha Chunin: That speed! I can't see it at all!]
[Ohnoki: A clash between two Uchiha…]
[Izuna Uchiha: Hahaha! Watching our clan's descendants fight—how interesting!]
[Tobirama Senju: Hmph. Evil Uchiha brats.]
[Izuna Uchiha: Cunning Senju clan!]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Father, Mother—don't worry. I'll avenge you!]
[Mikoto Uchiha: Does it really have to be like this…?]
[Fugaku Uchiha: Sasuke…]
[Sasuke Uchiha (adult): @Sasuke Uchiha Your eyes still haven't seen through this world…]
[Sasuke Uchiha: What do you mean? Answer me!]
[Itachi Uchiha: Sasuke…]
[Shisui Uchiha: Hey, Itachi—what exactly happened? What happened to the Uchiha clan?]
[Mei Terumi: .]
[Jiraiya: Let's keep watching the video.]
The camera continued forward.
Sasuke's lips curved slightly as he slashed forward with a kunai, a cold gust cutting through the air.
Itachi reacted instantly, drawing a kunai from his sleeve.
A sharp flash tore through the air as the two kunai collided, sparks bursting between them.
Itachi twisted his wrist, redirecting his kunai, grabbing Sasuke's arm while thrusting another kunai toward him.
But—
Sasuke reacted just as fast. In a split second, he drew the blade at his waist and blocked the strike.
Steel clashed with a sharp crack, the air vibrating with the sound of impact.
Seizing the moment, Itachi grabbed Sasuke's arm, locking it in place before kicking toward him.
Sasuke swiftly raised his partially drawn blade, blocking the kick.
In the next instant, Sasuke threw a punch, attempting to force Itachi back.
But Itachi used the momentum midair, evading effortlessly and countering with a kick that struck Sasuke across the face.
Sasuke was knocked to the ground, but he quickly adjusted, rising back to his feet.
He drew his sword completely and slashed toward Itachi in the air without hesitation.
At the same time, Itachi remained calm midair, adjusting his posture and grabbing Sasuke by the back of his collar.
Using that grip, Itachi flipped past him, effortlessly dodging the attack before slamming Sasuke to the ground.
Sasuke's blade was knocked from his hand, flying into the wall with a sharp clang.
Midair, Sasuke twisted his body and landed steadily.
His hands rapidly formed seals as he murmured, "Chidori."
The sound of countless birds chirping echoed around him.
Itachi remained expressionless, while Sasuke's anger burned ever stronger.
Sasuke charged again.
"Chidori Stream!"
He slammed his hand onto the ground, unleashing countless crackling currents of lightning that surged toward Itachi.
Itachi leapt into the air, narrowly avoiding the attack.
[System: Now entering the Q&A segment.]
[Question: Did Sasuke successfully hit Itachi's genjutsu?]
[Option A: Yes.]
[Option B: No.]
[Reward: Those who answer correctly may receive a random ninjutsu reward.]
[Penalty: Those who answer incorrectly will face a random punishment.]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: Hm… I don't think he hit it.]
[Konoha Jonin: I also feel like he didn't.]
[Boruto Uzumaki (adult): Uncle Sasuke probably did hit it. I choose option A.]
[Ohnoki: That confident?]
[Minato Namikaze: @Boruto Uzumaki (adult) May I ask… your name…]
[Boruto Uzumaki (adult): Yes, Grandpa.]
[Boruto Uzumaki (adult) has withdrawn a message.]
[Minato Namikaze: Huh?]
[Kushina Uzumaki: @Minato Namikaze, dear, what does that mean?]
[Boruto Uzumaki (adult): …You understand now, right?]
Minato invited Boruto Uzumaki into the group chat.
[Naruto Uzumaki: Huh?!]
[Minato Namikaze: I see…]
[Naruto Uzumaki: So… I have family too…]
[Kushina Uzumaki: @Hiruzen Sarutobi What is going on here?!]
[Konoha Civilian: Isn't he the Nine-Tails demon? He has family?!]
[Konoha Villager B: Yeah! He killed my family—he's a monster!]
[Konoha Villager A: Fourth Loed Hokage, you must be mistaken. He's the demon fox!]
[Konoha Villager C: Uh… didn't his identity already get exposed earlier? That Boruto called the Fourth Hokage "Grandpa."]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: @Konoha Villager C ]
[Konoha Villager C: Oh… I understand.]
[Konoha Villager C has withdrawn a message.]
[Boruto Uzumaki (young): Wasn't my dad supposed to be admired by everyone when he was young?]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Minato… Naruto's identity is special. You should understand…]
[Minato Namikaze: I understand…]
Pure Land.
"Sob… sob…"
Kushina Uzumaki's heart felt like it was being torn apart.
Her eyes, filled with pain, were locked onto her child.
But she couldn't—she absolutely couldn't—reveal to the world that Naruto was her son.
Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage.
If the truth were exposed, he would face endless assassination attempts.
As a mother, she could only watch him from afar, her heart filled with endless bitterness.
"I just hope… the Third will take good care of my Naruto…"
Her voice trembled, full of helplessness and longing.
[Deidara: I think he didn't hit it.]
[Deidara: Itachi's strength is obvious to everyone. As for Sasuke… I've never even heard of him.]
[Sasuke Uchiha: @Deidara What are you barking about?!]
[Deidara: You've got a screw loose, challenging Itachi.]
[Hidan: I agree. Never even heard of this Sasuke trash.]
The scene shifted again.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
The real Sasuke stood upside down on the wall, blade gleaming, ready to strike at any moment.
Meanwhile, Itachi stood frozen, shock written all over his face.
Sasuke let out a cold laugh, his blade thrusting forward without hesitation, piercing through Itachi's abdomen and pinning him from the wall to the ground.
"You've become stronger…" Itachi's voice was weak, tinged with regret.
Sasuke gripped the hilt tightly, his gaze cold as ice.
"Itachi, I have one last question for you."
His tone was unwavering.
At that moment, Itachi unexpectedly raised his right hand, almost reaching Sasuke's forehead.
But just before touching him, his hand shifted slightly to the side.
Sasuke followed the motion—and witnessed something even stranger.
Another Itachi sat calmly on the stone chair, his expression indifferent. The Itachi lying on the ground coughed up a crow before dissolving into black smoke.
Sasuke straightened, staring coldly at him.
"The same words… the same crow as before. Is this your favorite genjutsu trick?" His voice carried no warmth.
Itachi remained expressionless.
"What do you want to know? It's not over yet… but I'll hear you out." His words were brief, yet heavy.
