Chapter 218 : True Tale!

Countless spectators outside the screen were utterly baffled by this punishment!

It felt more like a reward to them!

But only Deadpool knows the true agony of this!

At that moment, Deadpool sat on the ground, gazing blankly at the sky. Heavy snow seemed to fall around him, accompanied by a mournful melody.

"Playing in a bad movie for a thousand years?"

"Damn Canadian, I'll shoot you in the future!"

The scene then faded, and in the blink of an eye, it was seven days later!

In the Hokage World,

Under the moonlit sky, Sasuke sat alone on the roof of the tallest building in Uchiha Station.

Now, because of the video, the ninja world had undergone a significant change!

Almost everyone feared the resurrected Uchiha Madara, wondering if he would instigate another war!

But Sasuke was indifferent to it all!

Even if the world turned upside down, his life's goal remained to kill the man who had subjected him to a living nightmare, waking him in the middle of the night time and time again!

He had made his decision to leave!

While Naruto had once been a friend, now that he had departed with the Fourth Hokage, there was no longer any attachment for him in this village!

As for Sakura, he felt nothing, her presence even inducing weariness in him through the video!

"Uchiha Madara, perhaps only he can fulfill my long-held desire!"

Just as Sasuke resolved to depart, the screen, which had vanished for seven days, reappeared!

The image that appeared caused his eyes to blaze crimson, his entire body trembling!

A bright moon hung high in the image, black crows circling the sky ominously.

Beneath it stood a man clad in black robes adorned with red clouds.

He gazed into the distance, his blood-red Mangekyō reflecting a chilling indifference, devoid of any emotion!

In a cave in the Land of Fire,

Before a flickering fire, a man with a shark-like visage grinned and spoke:

"Mr. Itachi, congratulations on making the list," Kisame Hoshigaki exclaimed.

However, Uchiha Itachi responded flatly, "It's merely superficial, meant for public consumption. It holds no true significance."

Kisame Hoshigaki smiled wryly, "So, the opinions of others hold no weight?"

"Not as esteemed as the Third Hokage or Uchiha Obito. The ninja world's reputation is currently at its nadir," Kisame interjected.

The implication was clear; Uchiha Itachi, infamous for the annihilation of his clan, would once again face condemnation and disdain from the ninja community. Should there be a depiction of patricide, it would undoubtedly evoke disgust from all corners.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki understood that these comrades possessed unwavering resolve, unlikely to be swayed by external judgment. Yet, reality veered from his expectations. 

He observed a change in Uchiha Itachi's countenance, not of unease, anger, or even anxiety, but rather a subtle sense of confusion and bewilderment.

Pondering this, Kisame Hoshigaki narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. There appeared to be a hidden truth lurking beneath the surface.

Meanwhile, beneath the streets of Konoha, Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen's faces drained of color upon witnessing this scene. Fear flickered in their eyes, but not directed at Uchiha Itachi himself. 

Rather, it was the future prospect of Uchiha Sasuke wielding the Rinnegan, harbinger of terrifying power.

As the other worlds remained oblivious to the identity of the individual in question, ominous black text materialized.

[Hokage World!]

[Uchiha Itachi! – The True Tale of a Dashing Rogue Ninja!]

"A true tale!?"

"A ruthless, merciless, heartless fiend like him deserves a biography!?"

"Argh!!! Why won't you perish?!"

At that moment, Sasuke unleashed a guttural roar, a torrent of agony consuming him like a tempest!

Yet, in the next heartbeat, an eerie silence enveloped him.

For from the depths of his buried memories, a voice both familiar and foreign emanated from the shadows.

["In the bleak canvas of darkness, there exist no characters, only the soliloquy of one's own self!"]

["To stand sentinel in the long night, alone—that is the true essence of a ninja!"]

Orochimaru's subterranean lair!

Uchiha Madara's lips curled into a sinister smirk, his laughter devoid of mercy echoing through the chamber:

"Ah, yet another soul, ensnared by naivety!"

Obito, standing at his side, wore a complex smirk tinged with sadness:

"Yes, a tragicomedy indeed."

[The scene brightens, revealing a young boy, roughly at the age of five or six, perched on the precipice of a cliff!"]

[His countenance belies his tender age, his gaze piercing into the distance, saturated with contemplation!"]

"Such is this world,"

[Accompanying the boy's murmurs, a tableau of the past unfolds!]

[The memories of school days, the birth of his younger brother Sasuke, the warmth of a mother's love, the sternness of a father's discipline]

[Suddenly, the youth raises his gaze to the heavens, his expression shrouded in shadow.]

[Life holds no meaning,"]

[At that instant, scenes from the Third Great Ninja War materialize, a tapestry of countless warriors falling in battle!]

"Must even a child so young be thrust into the crucible of war?"

Sengoku shook his head in resignation, understanding the desolate proclamation that life holds no meaning, even at such a tender age!

Indeed, this realm of the Hokage appears far more brutal than the pirate world you once knew!

Where blood flows freely, blades clash, treachery lurks in every shadow, and enmity poisons every heart!

Not even the innocent are spared from its grasp!

It's all so dark!

[Soon the boy left the cliff and returned to school!)

[But he's still thinking!]

["""Life is born, life is lost.")

[Why are lives fighting each other.."]

"What is a ninja, what is a village…1

"This is Itachi, a 7-year-old who thinks the Hokage way!"

At this moment, Third Hokage admitted that he regretted it, and if he had found a solution earlier, things would not have reached the point where they are now!

And inside the Hokage office building!

Tsunade looked at the boy on the screen in surprise!

She remembers that when she was 7 years old, she was just playing around!

Even practice is enough!

Jiraiya, who was sitting on the side, was also shocked and even more puzzled!

What happened to make him do those dehumanizing things!

[Fun with mature thinking is out of place in school!]

(Soon he also gave up going to school and just used some Shadow Clone to deal with it, and trained on his own!)

"Is this the talent of that man?"

Sasuke thought that when he was 7 years old, he couldn't even know the Clone Technique!

Comparing the two, the talent gap is really too big!

At this moment, he made up his mind!

You must take action, otherwise it would be too stupid to only rely on the picture that you may become stronger in the future!

That might be a lifetime of revenge!

Sasuke's eyes flickered and he continued to look, maybe he could find the opponent's weakness in the video!

[Soon little Uchiha Itachi has his own understanding, he looks at the sky!)

["The same blood is clansman"]

["And different clans gathered together to give birth to a village, and then all kinds of people appeared around…)

["So, there is also a companion!]

[However, the next second flashback is the scene of your companion dying to save Uchiha Itachi!]

[So in the blood and tears, the Sharingan called the Cursed Eye opened..]
