The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Kisame stood side by side with Itachi, and only now did he notice the figure not far away staring at Itachi Uchiha.

Did Hyuga Sawatatsu defeat the organization's member, Tamamo?

No wonder even Itachi was so on high alert!

Kisame instinctively gripped Samehada in his hand, a rare look of tension on his face.

"Why is the Uchiha clan known as the strongest, inspiring fear in all enemies? Let me show you the true power of the Sharingan!"

When Itachi Uchiha opened his eyes again, the three seductive beads began to spin wildly, forming a special pattern resembling a windmill.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

"The three of you must never look into his eyes. Once you do, you're done for! Only those with the Sharingan can withstand that attack."

Kakashi was on high alert, large drops of sweat sliding down his mask, leaving only his left Sharingan with its three tomoe fixed on Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed again.

It seems that on the night of the massacre, the village deduced from the mental damage Sasuke suffered that he possessed a type of eye technique that could attack the mind?

"Kakashi, you're too obsessed with the power of the Sharingan. Against the Mangekyou Sharingan, the three tomoe alone are definitely not enough. If he wants to take your life, he can do it in an instant."

This was after Kakashi returned to reality after enduring three days and three nights of mental torture in the Tsukuyomi space. He couldn't understand why Itachi Uchiha, who could have killed him in an instant, had to make things so complicated.

Nani?

Kakashi turned his head slightly and looked at Hyuga Zetsu beside him. He saw that Zetsu's Tenseigan was shining brightly as he stared at Uchiha Itachi without any hesitation.

"Another fool trying to fight the Sharingan? Then let me show you why this special genjutsu, Tsukuyomi, is called the strongest mental attack!"

Uchiha Itachi gave a cold laugh, and the windmill in his left eye began to spin wildly.

The next instant, Hinata Sawa felt dizzy and his mind was instantly pulled into an extremely dark world filled with blood.

Tsukuyomi Illusion Space.

Chapter 65 Conversations during Tsukuyomi

Even the Tenseigan cannot prevent the attack of the genjutsu Tsukuyomi?

Finding himself bound to a giant cross, Hinata Sawatatsu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The title of the strongest illusion technique is truly well-deserved.

"In the world of Tsukuyomi, I control both time and space. Over the next 72 hours, you will suffer countless injuries."

With each word spoken, another Itachi Uchiha would appear around the cross. Before the sentence was even finished, the area was already completely filled with Itachi Uchiha wielding long swords.

"That's not necessarily..."

Just as Itachi Uchiha's long sword was about to pierce Hyuga Zechen's body, the entire Tsukuyomi genjutsu space suddenly trembled violently.

what happened?

The sudden earthquake nearly caused Itachi Uchiha to lose his footing. When he looked up again, he found that Hyuga Zetsu, who was tied to the cross, had disappeared.

Did he escape the Tsukuyomi illusion space?

No, if that were the case, this illusion space should collapse immediately.

As the master of the genjutsu space, Itachi Uchiha located Hyuga Zetsu almost instantly.

Itachi Uchiha's figure instantly moved to the other side of the genjutsu space, and he was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

Suddenly, a clear dividing line appeared in front of them, splitting the originally dark, blood-red space in two. The other side was occupied by a holy figure whose entire body was completely enveloped in green chakra.

"While I truly cannot break your illusion, proving that Tsukuyomi truly deserves the title of the strongest illusion, however..."

Hinata Zechen spread his hands, his voice tinged with a hint of smugness.

"...As long as one possesses sufficient pupil power, it remains to be seen who truly controls this illusionary space; a contest is likely still necessary!"

Illusionary space is ultimately just an illusion. As long as there is enough mental energy and eye power to support it, Hyuga Zechen doesn't even need to consume chakra. He can enter the Tenseigan chakra mode in an instant, and even has a bit of a reversal of roles, seizing control of part of the illusionary space.

"It seems that your bloodline limit is no less than that of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

The long sword in Itachi Uchiha's hand disappeared, and his voice carried a hint of regret.

"We're not enemies, right?"

Having demonstrated enough strength to fight back, Hyuga Zetsu deactivated his Tenseigan chakra mode and then lightly snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, the surrounding visual environment changed, transforming into a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

A round table, two wooden chairs, a pot of steaming green tea, and a plate of tricolor meatballs are placed on it.

"It seems you obtained quite a bit of information from Danzo?"

Itachi Uchiha's gaze swept over the items on the table, and his tone softened.

"Indeed, you know some top-secret information. For example, the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre; and that you joined the Akatsuki organization to gather intelligence for the village."

Hinata Sawatatsu pulled out a wooden chair and sat down, then picked up the teapot and filled two cups.

After a few moments of silence, Itachi Uchiha slowly sat down in the chair, picked up the three-colored dumplings on the table, and took a bite.

"I originally thought that I would miss the chance to eat this when I returned to the village this time."

Although Itachi Uchiha's voice sounded extremely calm, Hyuga Zechen could hear the endless sorrow contained within it.

Looking at Uchiha Itachi before him, Hyuga Zechen understood just how much pressure the other was carrying on his shoulders.

Death is but a moment of pain; living, on the contrary, means enduring endless torment.

Although Hyuga Zechen couldn't understand what Itachi Uchiha's mentality was back then, which led him to abandon his clan for the sake of Konoha.

Perhaps, as Tobirama Senju said, no clan understands love better than the Uchiha clan. However, once that love is lost, they are swallowed by darkness, becoming abnormally obsessive and falling into what ordinary people consider the demonic path.

For Konoha, Itachi Uchiha's love was truly remarkable; but for the Uchiha clan, he was undoubtedly a complete demon.

"The Akatsuki's goal is to collect the nine tailed beasts. Besides the apparent leader, there is a ghost hiding behind them, who claims to be Uchiha Madara."

Without dwelling too much on the taste of the three-colored dumplings, Itachi Uchiha swallowed the entire skewer of dumplings in a few bites, then broke the wooden skewer, his expression turned serious, and he spoke.

However, despite receiving two pieces of news that were enough to shock everyone, Hinata Sawatatsu's expression remained unchanged throughout.

After all, the information Hyuga Zechen possessed about the Akatsuki organization was definitely more detailed than that of Uchiha Itachi, who was actually in the organization.

Hyuga Sawatatsu has already begun to plan how to edit the information he provides to Konoha Village in order to guide events in the direction he desires.

"There's one more thing..."

Itachi Uchiha felt as if he had punched empty air, and after a few breaths of silence, he spoke again.

"I hope the village will allow Sasuke to go to Orochimaru's place... Compared to the Legendary Sannin, Kakashi-senpai is still a bit too inexperienced."

Hinata Zechen put down his teacup and met Uchiha Itachi's gaze once more.

"I will report your request to the Fifth Hokage. As for what choice the village will make, I cannot guarantee."

Uchiha Itachi nodded, a rare hint of doting appearing on his usually cold face.

This was, of course, directed at Uchiha Sasuke.

Catching this fleeting change, Hinata Sawatatsu confirmed one thing once again.

The Uchiha clan are indeed all brother-obsessed.

"Alright, maintaining this illusion space is putting a lot of strain on my body. It's time to end it."

Seeing Uchiha Itachi stand up, Hyuga Zechen suddenly spoke up.

"Didn't you ever think of telling Sasuke the truth and letting him make his own choice?"

Itachi Uchiha's straight body stiffened, and a violent tremor appeared at the corner of his eye.

"The path I chose for Sasuke is the one that is most suitable for him. This is a mission that every member of the Uchiha clan must shoulder."

-----------------

In the real world, Itachi Uchiha suddenly trembled violently, and a tear of blood flowed from his left eye.

Hinata Sawatatsu was breathing heavily, and his Tenseigan reverted to Byakugan mode.

"what happened?"

Kakashi could clearly feel that Hyuga Zetsu's chakra plummeted instantly, and his aura became unstable.

"Tsukuyomi, as expected of the strongest illusion attack."

Upon hearing Hyuga Zechen utter a sigh in a hoarse voice, Kakashi immediately understood that the two must have just engaged in an unimaginable clash of genjutsu.

"Mr. Itachi, I never expected that someone could break through your attack and remain mentally unharmed?"

Kisame Hoshigaki stared at the blood and tears streaming from Itachi Uchiha's left eye, his voice filled with disbelief.

It's worth noting that when Itachi Uchiha subdued Deidara for the Akatsuki, he defeated him with a single blow without even using Tsukuyomi. Yet, when facing Hyuga Sawatatsu, even after using his eye technique, he ended up with both sides severely injured?

"Kisame, we should go back!"

Itachi's voice was also slightly hoarse as he stood motionless in place.

"It seems that overusing those eyes has put a great burden on Mr. Itachi's body."

Kisame Hoshigaki watched as the muscles on Itachi's face trembled violently. He stretched out his arm, grabbed his companion, and used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from everyone's sight.

Chapter 66 Payne's Pursuit

Inside the Hyuga clan's territory, Hyuga Zechen sat by the pond, casually holding a fishing rod in one hand, occasionally turning his head to the side and slightly opening his mouth.

At this time, Hinata, sitting next to him, would always blush and stuff a grape into Hyuga Sawa's mouth.

This was a benefit that Hinata Sawatatsu, as a "wounded" person, had managed to obtain from Hinata after much persuasion.

"It seems that you are completely fine now!"

Just then, a voice broke the tranquility of the courtyard.

"Greetings, Lord Jiraiya!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Hinata immediately saw Jiraiya squatting on the treetop not far away, looking teasing. She hurriedly stood up and bowed, accidentally spilling the grapes in her hand all over the ground.

"Um... I'll head back now."
