Chapter 219 : Sharingan!

["Open your eyes, Two Tomoe Sharingan!!?"

"What talent!!"]

Offscreen, Sasuke clenched his fists.

Disbelief, surprise, and even a trace of complicated emotions flickered in his eyes.

At this moment, Sasuke knew it wasn't merely luck. He knew Itachi's talent surpassed comparison. The so-called genius was utterly insignificant in front of each other. He believed that following the village's steps would lead to no hope for revenge. He had to depart.

Enlightenment dawned upon many in the ninja world at this time.

"Awakened by the pain of the Bloodline Limit... It turned out to be a pair of cursed eyes!"

Within Iwagakure, the Tsuchikage Onoki seemed to mock and sigh sympathetically.

But then, in the next second, a different thought emerged!

As if the first sight of that person replayed in his mind!

"And what about you, Uchiha Madara? What price did your eyes pay for!?"

"I believe it must be countless times heavier than this!"

"Ah, this rotten world is indeed fair!"

This time, Onoki didn't conceal the ridicule on his face, as if he saw the despair on Madara's face!

"Why help him open his eyes?"

Inside the underground base, Madara asked casually.

It was the masked Obito who had just killed Uchiha Itachi's comrade!

Obito's face remained blank, as if he hadn't acted at all.

"It's just that I saw a promising seedling and nudged it casually. After all, Akatsuki lacks manpower!"

"And a Uchiha who has fallen into darkness holds considerable power!

"But I underestimated him!"

Hearing this, Madara turned her head, locking eyes with Obito, and spoke each word deliberately:

"Did you really?

"Anyway, you've always harbored hatred towards the Uchiha."

Perhaps due to both, Obito didn't elaborate further.

[Scene transition. Under the moonlight, in a serene and picturesque courtyard, Itachi sits under the porch with Sasuke, who is just over two years old!]

[He is still unable to free himself from the memory of his companion sacrificing himself to save him!]

[At this moment, young Sasuke, gazing at his brother's tearful eyes, curiously asked:

"Brother, why have your eyes turned red?"]

[Itachi gazed down at Sasuke cradled in his arms, tears filling his eyes, his thoughts swirling with no explanation.]

["Sasuske, will you, too, see the day when you open your eyes?" he murmured softly.

"I hope that day never comes!"

Yet, in the blink of an eye, the screen faded to black. And as it lit up again, the scene portrayed a young man, with lines of sorrow etched on his face, wielding a bloodied sword, his clan members lying lifeless around him. Standing before him was a young boy.

Uchiha Itachi regarded the trembling figure before him with cold eyes. The boy, filled with disbelief, stuttered. 

"Sasuke, Live with this hatred," Itachi interrupted, his voice chillingly calm. "You must hate me eternally."

"Because only then will you find purpose in life," he added. "Run away, and find me when you possess eyes like mine."

With these words, Itachi's eyes transformed into the One Tomoe Sharingan.

"Tsukuyomi, activate," he commanded.

Sasuke, overwhelmed, relived the harrowing scenes of his parents' murder at the hands of his brother, Itachi, over and over again until he lost consciousness. When he awoke, a pair of scarlet eyes stared back at him.

"It's the One Tomoe Sharingan!" 

"It's a gift from the elder brother to the younger."]

Off-screen, Sasuke wept silently, tormented by the relentless cycle of pain and betrayal.

"Why?" he cried out internally. "Why did this happen?"

As he grappled with his anguish, he yearned for answers, desperate to understand the emptiness that consumed him.

Was it truly for this void that he was destined to slaughter his own clan, including his parents?

It felt unreal.

"It turns out all love is fake!" 

"That man is the saddest man in the world!"

After a few seconds, Sasuke stopped crying.

"It doesn't matter anymore!"

"As long as you kill the other party yourself!"

"That's what you did too?" Uchiha Madara said.

Obito shook his head with a sneer on his face.

"I'm just filling in the wood!"

"Let's keep reading, since it's Itachi's story, there will definitely be a reason!!"

Madara stopped talking.

He guessed that the Uchiha clan would eventually perish, but it was ironic that the extinction was in the hands of his own clan member!

[The screen dims again!]

[As footsteps sound, the screen lights up!]

Uchiha Itachi was sitting on a stone seat, holding his head in his hands, and looked at the person calmly and said:

"How far can you see with these Sharingans?"

The visitor stopped; it is Uchiha Sasuke who has grown up!

The next second, he looked at the person who was thinking about it day and night, with the same calm tone, but said the most terrifying words:

"Now, all I can see in my eyes is your death, Itachi!"

Finally,

"After many years, the two brothers meet again!"

But this time, only one person can survive!
