2. Collect the eyeballs of five different special-grade cursed spirits. (2/5)

3. Collect the seven chakra natures: fire, water, wind, lightning, earth, yin, and yang. (Total progress 100%)

. . .

Although completing condition 3 almost depleted all his savings, including the Rainbow Mist Beads.

But this deal was very worthwhile.

He doesn't have the time to collect them little by little. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to kill a couple more cursed spirits?

If he could, he would even prefer to fulfill the first two conditions with money as well.

To paraphrase Lu Xun, if something can be solved with money, is it even a problem?

At this point, Shinji had achieved all his goals in coming to Konoha.

I also gained some goodwill in the process, which is a precaution, in case I can actually convince Kai to be one of my own in the future?

Right? People still need to have dreams.

As for Cybertron, Hiruzen Sarutobi had asked him about it, but he had always brushed him off.

If these old fogies knew the real reason Cybert came knocking on their door, they'd probably turn on him on the spot.

What he didn't know was that as early as the day after Cybertron attacked Konoha, Iruka had brought Naruto to see Hiruzen Sarutobi, and they seemed to have talked a lot.

As for the matter between Konoha and Sunagakure regarding the 'Sand Spirit' Cybert, they exchanged information, but that's a story for another time.

Having achieved his goals, Shinji prepared to leave Konoha.

Looking for the next one to be used as a pawn... Ah, no, he meant continuing to help other countries cleanse the harm caused by cursed spirits.

Anyway, neither Duan Fei nor A Fei liked staying in Konoha, and he felt the same way, always feeling somewhat depressed.

Just when he was thinking of leaving, a little devil suddenly came to his door and almost made him hand over 180,000 yuan with a single sentence!

"Shinji Akagi, did we meet that night five years ago?"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his head, his face stubborn and his eyes determined.

[Chapter 216. The most lethal form of imagination! (Bonus chapter 6/10 for Alliance Leader Nangong Bingz!)]

Blanch!

"What do you mean, 'that night five years ago'? I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation! Honestly, where did this brat come from? Get out of here, go away!"

Shinji immediately lost his temper!

Nonsense, anyone would be upset in that situation.

First thing in the morning, a little kid knocks on the door and immediately asks if I remember that night a few years ago... Who wouldn't be scared!

In my past life, the police would have arrived by now!

Shinji has never switched to the profession of a pedophile, and he dislikes men. (Very loudly!)

However, Sasuke didn't realize there was anything ambiguous in his words; he just looked puzzled.

In fact, ever since he heard the name Shinji Akagi and saw the symbol of the Jashin Cult that day, he has been dreaming about the night of the massacre of his clan five years ago.

He was so confused that he couldn't tell which was the reality—the one in his memory or the one in his dream.

The difference between the two is that the latter had a guy named Shinji Akagi who defeated the man, while the former did not.

But if it's just his dream, why do the people in his dream actually exist?

Not only do the names match, but even the details are exactly the same.

So is it possible that...?

Actually, what he dreamed about... was what truly existed!

The reason he has no memory of this is because he suffered repeated mental trauma and illusions, which caused him to lose that part of his memory.

Sasuke thought about it for several days and felt that it was entirely possible, or rather, highly likely to happen.

He even went to consult with his teacher, Xi Rihong, who had just been discharged from the hospital.

Kurenai Yuhi used illusion magic on the enemy in a previous battle, but was countered and suffered a severe backlash, remaining unconscious for many days before waking up.

Moreover, after waking up, I had lost some of my memories. Although it didn't seem to have a big impact, it personally proved the existence of this possibility.

In addition, there is another piece of evidence that Sasuke firmly believes they have seen before.

That means the other party knows his and Naruto's names!

Even Naruto recognized Cybert as the mysterious black-robed man who had made Kakashi-sensei on guard that day, so how could Sasuke forget?

Shinji Naruto, Hidan Sasuke...

This is simply a combination of all four of their names.

Sasuke refused to believe that this was just a coincidence!

After all, where do so many coincidences come from, and how did they all come together?

It is precisely because of the existence of this 'evidence' that Sasuke has come to visit us today.

Whether it was the fierce battle in his dream or Guy's outburst that day, Sasuke deeply understood that even if he were ten years later, it would be difficult for him to catch up with that man's pace.

Besides, ten years is too long; he can't wait any longer!

Most importantly, he desperately wanted to know the truth that the man didn't want him to know!

“I already know everything. I saw you five years ago that night, right here in the Uchiha compound. You defeated... Itachi!”

Sasuke still said the man's name, and his expression became somewhat excited.

But it was Shinji who was truly dumbfounded.

Because apart from that instance, he had never seen Itachi.

Sasuke's words left him completely bewildered, making him wonder if the dungeon that day wasn't actually a dungeon, but a real-life time-travel event.

"No, that's absolutely impossible!"

The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he immediately dismissed it.

He was certain it was just a copy, because at the end of the story, he killed Itachi Uchiha.

But in the real world, Itachi is still alive and well.

Don't ask why, just go to the Gold Exchange and look at the wanted posters for the rogue ninja.

Itachi Uchiha's name has consistently ranked first or second on the list, with the only one who can rival him being another Konoha rogue ninja—Orochimaru.

Therefore, Shinji is certain that he did not travel through time and change anything.

So here's the question: how does this kid know what he did in the dungeon?

"Come in and talk."

I looked around, no one was there, that's good.

"Tell me, what exactly happened? I've never even met you before, let alone Uchiha Itachi."

Do you have a mark like this on the back of your neck?

Sasuke suddenly pulled out a piece of paper with the iconic symbol of the Jashin Cult drawn on it.

"Also, do you own a piece of clothing of this style with this pattern on the back?"

As he spoke, another piece of paper was displayed.

The above is a fairly accurate recreation of the cult's uniform.

Shinji pondered for a moment without answering Sasuke's question, and instead asked, "Where did you see all these things?"

"In my dream!"

"In a dream?"

"That's right, but now I believe it's very likely that my lost memories are reappearing in this way."

Could you describe in detail what you saw in your dream?

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but still chose to be honest, otherwise he would not have been able to convince the other party of what he said.

After Sasuke finished speaking, Shinji was also stunned, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

He suddenly remembered the two choices the Uchiha ghost had given him, one of which was to kill Sasuke.

In other words, besides him, the only other person likely involved in that instance was the unconscious Sasuke...

It's even possible that the Sasuke in the instance is actually Sasuke himself playing the role, in some kind of way.

Then he remembered a few more details, such as when he actually participated in the dungeon, it was when he came into contact with Sasuke inside the dungeon.

For example, he protected Sasuke and only triggered the next part of the plot after he brought Sasuke to a safe location.

Finally, and most strangely, the powerful genjutsu immunity that he relied on to defeat Itachi was given to him by Sasuke, on the condition that Sasuke remain conscious.

If Sasuke stays conscious, he won't be affected by the genjutsu...

Depend on!

Was the hint already that obvious?

Shinji now strongly suspects that the original dungeon was very likely constructed using Sasuke's dream!

That Uchiha ghost-infused entity was only responsible for filling in the details and stabilizing the dream.

Seeing Shinji's varied expressions, Sasuke felt that he might have really grasped the truth. Otherwise, the other party shouldn't be reacting like this; he should have kicked him out long ago for 'talking nonsense'.

"So everything I saw in my dream was actually real, right?! After I woke up, I had lost that part of my memory, so all I remembered was my brother... After that man said those words to me, he fainted."

"So what is the truth? Why did that man keep stopping you from telling me the truth?"

Sasuke suddenly became excited.

[Chapter 217. Nobody's going to put up with you here (Fifth update, please subscribe!)]

Seeing Erzhuzi so excited in front of him, Shinji felt a toothache and kept clicking his tongue in pain.
