Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"Kagoto-no-life!"

Sasuke casually waved his hand.

The dark Amaterasu flame that was attached to his chest was actually "peeled" off his body!

Then, to Itachi's utter astonishment, the ball of black flames compressed and deformed wildly in Sasuke's palm, eventually transforming into a chakra longsword burning with pitch-black flames!

"your eyes……"

Itachi's perpetually calm and icy face finally broke down: "And... how could you possibly control Amaterasu?"

Amaterasu is his exclusive eye technique! Why can this unfamiliar young man change the form of Amaterasu at will?

“You don’t need to know.” Sasuke pressed closer, brandishing his black flame sword.

Damn it, our intelligence has been completely crushed!

Itachi gritted his teeth. The other person's eyes resembled the legendary Eternal Kaleidoscope, but as the son of the clan leader, he had never heard of such a person within the clan.

If such a person is allowed to participate in the rebellion, Konoha will be in extreme danger.

Sasuke... Sasuke is still in the village!

He must stop him here! Even if it costs him his life!

"Still not giving up?" Sasuke sneered, seeing the determination burning in Itachi's eyes.

"Susanoo!"

Itachi let out a painful growl, and two streams of bloody tears rolled down his cheeks. Crimson chakra erupted from his body like molten lava, and huge skeletal ribs rose from the ground, followed by the entanglement of muscles and meridians. A half-body crimson demon god wielding a spiritual weapon tightly protected him in the center!

"No matter who you are, for the sake of the village... you must die here!"

Itachi activated Susanoo, and a huge chakra fist, carrying a devastating wind pressure, slammed down on Sasuke!

"For the sake of the village? What a pathetic excuse!"

Sasuke didn't even bother to dodge. His left eye also unleashed terrifying power, and deep purple chakra shot into the sky!

It's also Susanoo!

But Sasuke's Susanoo not only took shape instantly, but also skipped the skeletal stage and was covered in heavy Tengu armor!

Faced with an absolute difference in eye power, Itachi's Susanoo, which was only just beginning to take shape at the age of thirteen, was simply like a poorly developed toy!

"Bang--!!!"

With a casual lift of its purple Susanoo arm, it firmly caught the crimson Susanoo's powerful punch.

No matter how frantically Itachi channeled his chakra, he couldn't advance even an inch further.

"Your capacity, your suffering, your enlightenment... are all worthless before my eyes!"

Sasuke roared, and his purple Susanoo suddenly exerted its power, slamming a punch into Itachi's Susanoo's chest!

"Click-clack—"

A crisp cracking sound echoed through the night sky. Itachi's proud absolute defense shattered like glass under the pure violence of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Whoa—!"

The Susanoo was forcibly destroyed, and the backlash caused Itachi's vision to go black. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into the mud like a kite with a broken string, unable to get up again.

The gap between power and information is like an insurmountable chasm!

The Eternal Kaleidoscope is ultimately far superior to the ordinary Kaleidoscope.

Chapter 255 With me here, the Uchiha coup will not fail.

"Cough cough...Who exactly are you?"

The weasel collapsed in the mud, struggling to lift its head.

He stared intently at the approaching youth, his eyes filled with despair.

Sasuke stopped in front of Itachi, looking down at his brother who claimed to bear the burden of everything.

"My foolish brother, do you still not know who I am?"

Itachi Uchiha's pupils constricted sharply: "You're Sasuke? No... that's impossible."

Sasuke didn't answer: "Uchiha Itachi, do you really know what you're doing? Do you think that by raising your sword and slaughtering all the people who gave you life and raised you, you can bring peace to Konoha and protect the people you want to protect?"

"This is... a necessary sacrifice." Itachi gritted his bloodied teeth, uttering with difficulty the dogma he had used to hypnotize himself countless times, "The Uchiha coup is doomed to fail... If I don't act, the village will descend into civil war, other countries will take advantage of the situation, and then it won't just be the Uchiha clan that dies..."

"Hahaha!"

Sasuke suddenly tilted his head back and let out a burst of unrestrained, maniacal laughter.

"A necessary sacrifice? Destined to fail? Itachi, your pathetic arrogance is utterly disgusting!"

Sasuke abruptly lowered his head, staring intently at Itachi, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spinning wildly in his eyes:

"Do you think Konoha will be truly safe this way? Do you think I'll be grateful to you for protecting me?"

Sasuke grabbed Itachi by the collar and half-lifted him up:

"I am Sasuke, who crawled back from the future you destroyed after you successfully killed all your clansmen!"

"Didn't you think the coup was bound to fail? Didn't you think only you could control everything?" Sasuke slammed Itachi back into the mud and stomped on his chest.

"Today, I'll show you whether this coup will fail if I'm here!"

"Get up! Open your eyes and look!"

Sasuke lifted Itachi up like a chick, formed a hand seal, and instantly disappeared from his spot, bringing Itachi to a rooftop overlooking the entire Uchiha clan territory and even half of Konoha.

The night wind was cold, and the flames soared into the sky.

"Look closely, Itachi."

Sasuke pointed to the sea of ​​fire below.

At this moment, the Uchiha clan compound, which should have been slaughtered by Obito and Itachi, erupted with a deafening sound!

Hundreds of elite Uchiha warriors from the "Fourth Calamity" are slaughtering the Root and Anbu members who are trying to infiltrate the clan's territory to loot, leaving them utterly annihilated!

What horrified Itachi even more was that, in the direction where the flames were most intense, a group of Uchiha soldiers, personally led by his father Fugaku Uchiha, did not wait to die in the Naka Shrine as he had expected, but instead charged straight toward the Hokage Building with murderous intent!

“Father… how is this possible?” Itachi looked at Fugaku Uchiha in disbelief.

“What’s impossible about that?” Sasuke stood coldly behind him. “Do you think you understand Father? Do you think you understand the Uchiha clan? Do you think Konoha will be at peace just because you sacrificed your entire clan?”

Itachi didn't want to listen, but Sasuke continued explaining the aftermath of their predetermined fate:

"In your so-called 'peaceful future,' Konoha, having lost the Uchiha clan as its strongest deterrent, was quickly targeted by other ninja villages! The village you risked your life to protect was plagued by internal strife for the next ten years, and even the Third Hokage died at the hands of his own student!"

"As for Sasuke, whom you want to protect, that is me." Sasuke pointed to his eyes, "I have been tormented by your ridiculous lie of 'Hate me' for ten whole years! In order to kill you and pursue power, I did not hesitate to defect from Konoha and join Orochimaru, making myself neither human nor ghost!"

"When you finally 'got your wish' and died by my hand, I was told the whole truth! How am I supposed to live? How am I supposed to face this family that sacrificed everything for Konoha, only to be abandoned by Konoha like trash?"

The weasel's breathing became rapid.

"No...that's not how it is...Lord Third promised me he would protect you..."

Sasuke roared, "When you place your hopes on others, you've already sealed my future."

"Itachi, your pathetic magnanimity not only failed to save anyone, but instead pushed everyone into an even deeper hell!"

Sasuke reached out and forcefully turned Itachi's face, making him look directly at his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which combined the powers of both brothers.

"Since you enjoy using Tsukuyomi to weave nightmares for others so much, then today, I'll let you experience firsthand the future you've created for me, for the Uchiha clan, and for this ninja world!"

A flash of light appeared between Sasuke's brows, and his Chakra Network was activated.

"Illusion Technique: Tsukuyomi!"

Without any chance to resist, Itachi's consciousness was instantly ripped from his body and slammed into a dark red mental space.

Here, the sky is blood-red, and the moon is crescent-shaped.

Itachi was horrified to discover that he was tightly bound to a huge cross and could not move.

"This is your favorite way to torture people, isn't it, brother?"

Sasuke's figure appeared in the space, holding a black ninja sword in his hand. "Now, enjoy this 'seventy-two hours' that belongs only to you."

The images began to flash wildly in Itachi's eyes.

Seven-year-old Sasuke's desperate screams on the night of the massacre of his clan;

He abandoned everything in his quest for revenge, all to become stronger.

He betrayed Konoha, abandoned his comrades, and resolutely entered Orochimaru's dark laboratory, enduring inhuman torture caused by the cursed seal.

The heart-wrenching sobs Sasuke shed when he learned the truth after the battle between the brothers;

At the Five Kage Summit, Sasuke fought the five Kage one-on-one, consumed by hatred, and vowed to destroy Konoha.

All of this is because of the decision he made today!

It's all because of his ridiculous "necessary sacrifice"!

"No...no..."

Inside the Tsukuyomi space, Itachi was bound to a cross and forced to witness the tragedy of the future over and over again.

Each time he watched it, Sasuke's sword would pierce his body once more, bringing with it real pain and a feeling of his soul being torn apart.

Just like how Itachi forced seven-year-old Sasuke to watch the scene of his parents being killed over and over again on the night of the massacre of his clan.

Sasuke simply returned the despair that Itachi had inflicted on him back then to him.

"This isn't what you wanted? But it's precisely what you caused! And now that I've returned, it's also because of what you caused." Sasuke's voice echoed in the space, cold and ruthless.

outside world.

On top of the tower.

In reality, only a moment has passed.

Itachi's body was convulsing violently, and he had fallen into a deep mental breakdown.

"Om-"

A ripple appeared in the space, and Uchiha Tsuki appeared beside Sasuke.
