Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

"Itachi, what are you doing?"

Ningxia paused for a moment, then quickly regained her composure and looked at the girl in front of her, asking softly.

Before this, he was controlled by Itachi first, which unlocked the defeat CG, but now with the Sheep Talisman plus Rabbit and Snake, he doesn't have to worry about being controlled at all.

"I..." Itachi didn't expect Ningxia to be so calm, which left her at a loss. Looking at the man she had been longing for, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Ningxia remained calm, keeping the powers of the Rabbit Talisman and the Snake Talisman firmly in her grasp.

"I...I like you, Ningxia."

Itachi moved his lips, perhaps feeling that Ningxia's answer was too bland, so bland... as if what happened between them was an illusion.

No... how could this be an illusion? All those things back then, Ningxia's anger and disappointment, and the aftereffects of my own clumsiness.

Everything was so real; how could those things possibly be illusions?

Or is it that... I can no longer distinguish between illusion and reality?

Itachi, who was already mentally unstable, became even more unstable due to Ningxia's attitude.

She couldn't tell, she just couldn't tell! Was she... in reality, or in an illusion?

If it's an illusion, why can't I break free? But if it's reality, why isn't Ningxia angry after I did that?

No! Ningxia, you should hate me! You trusted me so much before, now you should hate me just as much!

Itachi felt a strong sense of separation. She was convinced that Ningxia should hate her, and that she was entitled to bear it all.

But why... does she show no hatred at all? Could she... still be trapped in the Sharingan's genjutsu? Release it! Release it quickly! Why can't I break free?!

"oh."

Ningxia responded indifferently, "Even Itachi doesn't follow the normal process of a side game; he directly unlocked the defeat CG."

Although I hate to admit it, does this guy... really like me?

Compared to the adorably foolish Shisui, Ningxia's feelings towards Itachi were complex, a mixture of anger at his lack of ambition and her obsessive disappointment.

"Ha...hahaha...hahahaha! It's an illusion, it must be an illusion, it's fake...it's all fake...ah!"

Itachi suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter. She knew it must be fake, otherwise how could Ningxia not hate her?

Therefore... this must be the world created by Tsukuyomi.

"Bang!"

Ningxia dodged and slammed it on the head, telling it not to laugh loudly, otherwise what if Naruko and the others were woken up?

"Pain...no...Tsukuyomi...is a tangible pain, so...this is Tsukuyomi..."

The itachi, who could no longer tell, murmured softly. She was on the verge of collapse if it was an illusion.

"Ningxia, I like you, I really like you, so... please don't be with Zhishui. I was here first, so... please don't leave me..."

Because it was an illusion, Itachi completely let loose. Based on her experience interacting with Ningxia within the illusion, she knew that as long as she knelt down and begged Ningxia, he would forgive her.

"Snapped!"

Ningxia responded to Itachi with a slap, leaving a heavy mark on his fair face.

"What's wrong with you? Coming to my house in the middle of the night just to act crazy towards me? Where's Yekura? What did you do to her?"

Ningxia knew exactly how to treat Itachi's symptoms. A well-controlled slap would leave Itachi dazed but not brain-damaged, which would be just what brought him back to his senses.

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Itachi touched his face and then sniffed the lingering scent of Ningxia.

No, this isn't an illusion. Is she in the real world?

But why... why doesn't Ningxia hate herself? Why!?

"So, what exactly are you trying to do... Itachi, do you know that what you've done has really disappointed me and Shisui?"

Ningxia knew that Shisui planned to hand over the positions of clan leader and Sixth Hokage to Itachi.

But Itachi, who spends all his time hiding at home playing with his Sharingan, is most likely blinded by using Tsukuyomi on himself all the time, according to Ningxia's guess.

Considering what Itachi just said about the genjutsu world... could this guy be using genjutsu on himself...?

Ningxia's lips twitched. The image of a reliable, gentle, and sensitive girl that Itachi had given her had completely collapsed, replaced by a neurotic and obsessive one...

"Still water..."

Ningxia was fine as long as Shisui wasn't mentioned, but as soon as Itachi heard Shisui's name, the things Shisui had told him flashed through his mind.

The thought that Ningxia, which originally belonged to her, would be embraced by Shisui, and that the two of them would show their affection in front of her, and even have a bunch of little Uchiha babies who would recognize her as their godmother...

That kind of thing... absolutely not!!!

Itachi's eyes lost their sparkle; she'd become a bastard whose mind was consumed by self-pity.

"I'm sorry... Ningxia, this is the last time."

As the weasel finished speaking, a crow flew up from behind her and met Ningxia's gaze.

In the crow's eyes, there was clearly the Kotoamatsukami that Shisui left for Itachi as a nuclear deterrent and a life-saving tool.

"..."

A powerful spiritual force attempted to enter Ningxia's mind through her eyes, but the power of the Sheep Talisman dispelled it with a single elbow strike.

Ningxia stared blankly at the crow, seemingly under the control of the illusion, appearing completely at someone's mercy.

"Ningxia..."

Itachi finally came to his senses. What... what had she done? She... she really used Kotoamatsukami on Ningxia?

No, no, no, she shouldn't have, she shouldn't have...

In just a few minutes, Itachi successfully drove himself to a mental breakdown through internal strife and wild thoughts.

"..."

Ningxia watched this scene calmly. Of course, he couldn't be controlled by Kotoamatsukami; he just wanted to see what Itachi was up to.

At the same time, he was even more disappointed in Itachi. To be honest, if Itachi had properly admitted his mistakes and cheered himself up, he might have tried to accept him again.

But Itachi actually thought of using Kotoamatsukami to control himself?

"Ningxia..."

"I am here."

Ningxia was eerily calm, and this emotionless calm drove Itachi to the brink of collapse.

She set the condition for the god of the other world to be that Ningxia should love her.

But is the love that was forcibly created by Kotoamatsukami the love you truly desire?

She personally destroyed the man who once loved and hated her; she... personally erased Ningxia.

No! No way! What's the difference between a world without a real Ningxia and a fake illusion?

I don't need this kind of world! I want... I want to create... a world that truly has Ningxia.

Watching Itachi weep and wail, shouting that he wanted to create a world with his own true self, Ningxia almost lost her composure. Uchiha... are they really that crazy?

Or... is it from playing some obscure game?
