Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 467 That person's decree is something we absolutely cannot disobey!

Even though Itachi Uchiha's expression remained calm, his crimson Sharingan faintly radiated an eerie aura, making Marshall D. Teach feel a chill run down his spine!

but…

There's no way to retreat!

Teach endured hardship and forbearance for over twenty years in order to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit, but now Itachi Uchiha is also searching for the Dark-Dark Fruit, so they can only be enemies!

After learning about the Akatsuki organization, Marshall D. Teach concluded that Itachi Uchiha couldn't possibly be lying, and that Itachi wouldn't deceive his brother's friend...

Teach has also been playing the role of Sasuke Uchiha's friend.

"Thief, hahaha... I never expected this..."

After a few unrestrained laughs, Marshall D. Teach suddenly stopped, a look of horror flashing across his face. He looked down in alarm at the wound on Itachi Uchiha's heart!

There... was a void!

Where is Itachi Uchiha's heart? There's no red heart there. His body is incredibly fragile; his body is nothing but a pile of paper scraps!

This is the immortal body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation!

Marshall D. Teach withdrew his hand in horror, watching as the scraps of paper in his palm gradually dissipated and returned to Itachi Uchiha's body...

"How is that possible..."

Teach stared in astonishment at the scene. Seeing Itachi's body return to normal, his face instantly turned grim: "A Devil Fruit user… no, not a Devil Fruit user…"

Teach immediately remembered that Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha had both walked on seawater, and neither of these brothers were Devil Fruit users!

"I have already..."

Teach clenched his fist immediately, reached out to grab Itachi Uchiha's throat, and grinned menacingly, "There's no turning back now!"

Unexpectedly, when Teach grabbed Itachi Uchiha's throat, he felt his hand land on empty air. Itachi's figure became erratic, and his body suddenly transformed into countless crows and flew into the sky!

This scene was extremely eerie!

No, or rather, it was sinister and terrifying!

Marshall D. Teach looked up, only to see Itachi Uchiha's body swaying like a kite, appearing strangely erratic.

Even stranger is…

It was still daytime, but suddenly a red curtain appeared in the sky, and in Teach's vision, a blood moon slowly emerged in the sky!

Tsukuyomi... activated!

"This is…"

While Marshall D. Teach was still pondering what was going on, he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body, because he found himself bound to a cross and unable to move at all!

The whole world suddenly turned black and white!

This is a gloomy and terrifying place, as if it were the underworld!

Marshall D. Teach stared in disbelief as Uchiha Itachi appeared beside him—no, it should be said that countless Uchiha Itachi surrounded him, each holding a sword!

"What on earth is going on?!"

A flicker of panic crossed Teach's eyes.

The unknown is what's most terrifying!

Even now, Marshall D. Teach still couldn't figure out what had happened. Wasn't he fighting Itachi Uchiha on the high seas?

Why is he here now?!

Marshall D. Teach watched as a group of Itachi Uchiha wielding ninja swords approached, his expression growing increasingly horrified: "How did we get here? What's going on! What's going on! What's going on?!"

"Marshall D. Teach".

Itachi Uchiha's voice was somewhat ethereal, making it impossible to discern which of the countless Uchiha Itachis surrounding him was his true form. Yet, it seemed to be omnipresent, his voice piercing Teach's brain like a nail!

A group of Uchiha Itachi walked over, each holding a ninja sword. The Itachi's voice was still somewhat ethereal.

"The leader of Akatsuki thought you might be interested in the Dark-Dark Fruit, so he sent me to test you. Now it seems you're indeed under his control..."

"..."

Marshall D. Teach, his face grim, said, "What do you mean? Testing me... You know I want the Dark-Dark Fruit, and you deliberately told me you're also looking for it, just to provoke me into making a move!"

Finished!

How did this guy know about him?!

Why did they also know that he wanted the Dark-Dark Fruit?

"good."

Countless Uchiha Itachis raised their heads, looked at Teach on the cross, and nodded in unison, saying, "Everything I said was just to trick you into making a move... I just wanted to confirm that you were also coveting that most bizarre Logia-type Devil Fruit."

"so…"

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Marshall D. Teach's face as he slowly spoke, "This is a trap set for me!"

"good."

Countless Uchiha Itachi spoke at the same time, each slowly nodding, a sight that filled onlookers with growing horror!

Uchiha Itachi looked at Teach and calmly continued, "The eyes of God watch over everything, and they also saw your heart, filled with evil ambition..."

"..."

Teach's expression changed again.

This statement is somewhat chilling.

Because Sasuke Uchiha had mentioned countless times in the Whitebeard Pirates that the leader of Akatsuki was a true god!

These strange and bizarre figures, referred to as gods, are often associated with words like powerful and eerie, making it impossible for anyone to feel any desire to resist!

This world is just too ridiculous!

Uchiha Sasuke, that guy who has always been arrogant and reckless on the Modypick, often makes people think he's just bragging... But now, Teach suddenly realizes a truth: Sasuke wasn't lying!

That leader of Akatsuki!

It's truly terrifying from every angle!

Could that unknown man really see through people's hearts?

Teach really wanted to get out of his predicament and escape as far away as possible, but he was trapped on the cross and couldn't move at all!

Where are they right now?!

Why can't he move his body at all!

"Stop struggling."

Itachi Uchiha's voice lingered in Teach's mind like a curse, impossible to shake off yet utterly irresistible: "This is the Tsukuyomi illusion controlled by me. In this world, everything about you will be under my control, including time and space..."

"..."

Teach's expression grew increasingly grim.

To this day, he still hasn't figured out what's going on, and he's been tricked by the Akatsuki leader and dragged directly into this so-called illusion by Itachi Uchiha...

Today he felt he might really die here.

Even if he doesn't die today, the Akatsuki members will expose his intentions. Given Sasuke and Ace's positions in the Whitebeard Pirates, it will be difficult for him to continue hiding in the Whitebeard Pirates!

Perhaps it was the imminent end of life...

Perhaps they felt they were powerless to resist.

A look of relief suddenly appeared on Marshall D. Teach's face.

"Hahahaha..."

Teach's gaze swept over the countless Itachi Uchiha below, and he grinned, revealing a smile: "Itachi Uchiha, was everything you just said a lie to me...? The Akatsuki isn't as weak as I thought, is it?"

"good."

Countless Itachi Uchiha nodded simultaneously.

Itachi Uchiha's voice echoed throughout the empty Tsukuyomi illusion: "Akatsuki is the most powerful and mysterious organization in this world, watching over the actions of everyone in this world."

No matter what you want to do, you can't escape Akatsuki's gaze; no matter where you run, you can't escape the fear Akatsuki brings...

"Thief, hahaha..."

Hearing Itachi's reply, Teach's smile grew increasingly arrogant: "Wait, since you knew all this, why didn't you kill me sooner... Tell me, what exactly are you trying to do by scheming against me like this?"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha fell silent.

The countless Itachi Uchiha clones within the Tsukuyomi illusion all stopped.

Just as Teach felt a glimmer of hope, he realized that if the Akatsuki organization was trying to use him, perhaps he wouldn't be in any danger!

Unfortunately…

Just as Teach felt a little relieved, countless Uchiha Itachi, gripping their ninja swords, slowly walked back towards his cross.

"Feel sorry."

There was a hint of apology in Itachi Uchiha's voice.

The next moment, countless Uchiha Itachi walked over one after another, extending their ninja swords and stabbing Marshall D. Teach!

"Ah! Ahhhhhh!"

Teach screamed almost frantically!

As countless Itachi Uchiha lined up, each stabbing Marshall D. Teach with their ninja swords, they explained, "Because of your rudeness just now, you angered that person... He ordered me to punish you before you can continue talking to us."

"Aaaaaaaah, you bastard!"

Teach gritted his teeth as he watched ninja swords pierce his body one after another. A look of despair flashed across his face, and tears streamed down his face almost instantly: "If you want to kill me, then give me a quick death!"

Even though those ninja swords pierced his body, it felt as if they had also pierced his brain, making the pain unbearable!

This isn't torturous enough...

What alarmed Teach even more was that when Itachi tortured him, it seemed as if he had no feelings at all, just like a cold tool!

When Itachi Uchiha was with Sasuke Uchiha, you couldn't feel his bloodthirstiness and coldness at all; he seemed like a warm and kind older brother... Has Itachi Uchiha revealed his true colors now?

Torture him like this now...

There wasn't a single fluctuation in his voice!

After a long while.

Teach's groans gradually subsided.

The countless Itachi Uchiha in the Tsukuyomi illusion slowly stopped wielding their ninja swords and continued, word by word, "In this world, everything will be under my control... You will continue to endure here for seventy-two hours what you just suffered."

"...Seventy-two hours?"

A look of exhaustion flashed across Teach's face, and beads of cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead. Although he had been stabbed countless times, he was still alive...

This is the greatest fortune!

It's only 72 hours, you'll get through it quickly...

Just as Teach gritted his teeth, preparing to continue the torture, Itachi Uchiha suddenly spoke again: "One second has passed now, you have seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds of punishment time left..."

"Are you kidding me!"

A flash of anger crossed Marshall D. Teach's face, and he said somewhat indignantly, "At least a dozen hours have passed!"

"No, actually only one second passed."

Countless Itachi Uchiha responded calmly.

"Are you kidding me!"

A look of fear flashed across Teach's face, and he said angrily, "How is that possible... It must have been at least a dozen hours ago!"

"No, only a second passed."

Countless Uchiha Itachis surrounded him again, their voices growing louder and louder, reaching Teach's ears: "In this world, time is also under my control. The time you just experienced was only a single second."

Each of the Uchiha Itachi raised their ninja swords and plunged them one after another into Marshall D. Teach's body!

A hint of fear flashed in Marshall D. Teach's eyes. He felt an endless pain all over his body, and blood splattered out of his body, looking extremely eerie!

If those dozen or so hours were counted as just one second…

Teach didn't think he could hold on any longer; he was sure he would die!

"Aaaaaaah... I give up!"

Marshall D. Teach roared in agony, tears and snot streaming down his face, as he slammed his fist on Itachi Uchiha's lips: "Whatever you want to do, whatever you want to get from me, I can tell you!"

"I'm sorry, punishing you is that person's will."

Itachi Uchiha's voice remained as ethereal as ever, yet it instilled a deep fear in Teach: "And that person's will is one we absolutely cannot disobey."
