Oh, perhaps Edo Tensei could revive him, but an empty shell like him seems to have no value...

*Snap!* Xi Yan pulled her hand out, shook off the blood, and turned back to Lin Yu's side.

"Brother-in-law."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"I'm not tired, it's my brother-in-law who's tired..." Xi Yan sat down next to Lin Yu, put her arm around his arm, and leaned on his shoulder. A scene flashed through her mind for a moment, and Xi Yan shook her head and sat down properly next to Lin Yu.

"Xiyan, it's been many years since I gave you a gift..." Lin Yu flicked away the cigarette butt in his hand, took out Uchiha Kagami's right eye, and handed it to Xiyan: "This is the second gift I'm giving you!"

Xi Yan didn't reach out to take it: "But I already have one."

Lin Yu said, "The Sharingan can only unleash its true power when both are gathered..."

Xi Yan shook her head and said, "No! I can't accept it!"

Lin Yu asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xi Yan's beautiful eyes were filled with sadness: "I've caused my sister to be unable to have children in the future. I feel ashamed to have these eyes, and my heart is heavy..."

Touched, Lin Yu said gently, "Then from now on, use these eyes to protect your sister and her child, wouldn't that be better?"

Xi Yan looked up at Lin Yu with a complicated expression: "Brother-in-law, do you really believe me? I've done so many outrageous things in the past. Aren't you afraid that after I get these eyes, I'll repeat the same mistakes?"

Lin Yu had certainly thought about it, and he knew that there were risks involved in doing so.

But... he really didn't want to use his cunning to judge those close to him. In this bloody ninja world, it was so hard to find warmth and affection.

More importantly, he believed he wouldn't be wrong this time: "No, I believe in you!"

Xi Yan's beautiful eyes trembled as she murmured, "Actually, more than eyes, I want my brother-in-law..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Lin Yu didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing..." Xi Yan brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and said seriously, "Brother-in-law, you just said that the Sharingan can only unleash its true power when both eyes are on, right?"

"Yes."

“Then, you give this right eye to my sister. Our eyes will be a pair, won’t they be able to exert their true power? Hehe, am I smart? Quickly praise my brother-in-law…” Xi Yan’s bright eyes sparkled, and her smile was full of liveliness.

Lin Yu looked at Xi Yan with relief. Hearing such words from her really made him feel that everything he had done before was worth it!

"Xi Yan, if your sister knew what you were thinking, she would be genuinely happy. Alright, then I'll do as you say... This right eye, we'll give it to your sister when we get back!"

"Hmm!" Xi Yan smiled radiantly, revealing her sweet dimples: "Oh right, there's the other eye. What does brother-in-law want to do with it?"

The eyes of Uchiha Fugaku?

By blood, Itachi is already Lin Yu's younger brother... I'm afraid that even if he gets these eyes in the future, he won't be able to activate the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

So... there is only one person who can benefit from this eye.

Lin Yu gazed at the vast night sky: Speaking of which... where did Fugaku's right eye go?

Hidden Village, Heavenly Feather Pavilion.

"Nisan! Look, look!"

Six-year-old Sasuke showed off the origami cranes he had just folded to Itachi...

Now 12 years old, Itachi looked at his younger brother with the same tenderness in his eyes as before: "Sasuke, you're so smart..."

"Itachi, Sasuke, dinner's ready~" Uchiha Izumi placed the food on the table, took off the apron she was wearing, and looked at Itachi with eyes full of affection.

Yes, all these years... she has been living in the same house as the Itachi brothers.

When Itachi wasn't around, she took care of Sasuke; when Itachi was around, she stayed by his side.

After finishing his meal, Sasuke fell asleep with his head on Izumi's lap.

"Izumi, you've really had a tough time these past few years," Itachi said to Izumi.

"Why are you suddenly saying all this? Do we need to be so polite between us..." Quan's little face was flushed, and she twisted her two fingers together: "Aren't we just like, like..."

“Izumi… I might have to go on a long-term mission soon,” Itachi interrupted Izumi.

"A long-term mission? As long as the Dragon Vein mission back then?" Quan asked, taken aback.

"It might take even longer than that, so..."

"Is it dangerous?" Izumi's eyes were filled with worry.

"A ninja's mission is always accompanied by danger..." Itachi's answer was somewhat vague.

"But I've never seen you like this before, Itachi. Are you hiding something from me...?"

A smile appeared on Itachi's face as he patted Izumi's head: "Don't overthink it, it's really nothing."

"Then... you'll definitely come back, right!"

"Of course, so please take good care of Sasuke and wait for me to come back..."

"Yes! No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you!"

It was late at night, and Izumi and Sasuke had already gone to sleep.

Itachi turned his head, gave the two of them a deep look, and went out.

In a secluded place, a figure stood with his back to him, completely concealed in a black robe, exuding an extraordinary aura...

Even with Itachi's magnanimity, that aura felt unfathomable!

Half a month ago, Itachi received a secret letter, instructing him to come to the location mentioned in the letter alone at this time!

This secret letter... appeared on his bedside table after he woke up!

Itachi was astonished that someone could sneak into the Dark Village, which was full of experts and protected by a barrier, without being discovered by anyone!

Although, at that point in time, Shadow did not seem to be in the village.

"As expected, you came alone. Didn't you notify Shadow? That surprises me." The figure with its back to Itachi said.

“If I had notified Shadow, you probably wouldn’t have shown up!” Itachi said.

"It's better not to end up here than to risk never being able to go back."

"If you really had that intention, why bother with all this trouble if you acted without me noticing? You must be trying to confirm something through this, right..." Itachi's gaze towards the back of the figure before him became complicated.

"..." After a moment of silence, the figure turned around, removed the mask from its face, and revealed a bright smile on its familiar face: "Itachi, you really have become an excellent ninja, just as I thought..."

"It really is you, Shisui-ge..."

Chapter 198 Uchiha, the Two Heroes Meet! (1/5)

"Itachi, all these years I have been searching for your whereabouts. It wasn't until half a year ago that I heard you had joined the Hidden Shadow Village and become one of the personal disciples of the Shadow Uchiha Yu, and you command the 'Heaven' of the Hidden Shadow Tenchi Squad, which is feared by all!"

"Shisui-kun, where have you been all these years?" Itachi asked with a complicated expression.

After a moment of contemplation, Shisui made a startling statement: "I've joined... Akatsuki."

"What?! Akatsuki! The strongest mercenary organization in the ninja world?! Then why have I never heard of you before?!"

"Well, my condition for joining Akatsuki was that the leader of Akatsuki conceal my true identity... Over the years, I have been acting as a member of Akatsuki while simultaneously monitoring the organization's activities!"

Shisui then looked at Itachi and said, "Itachi, you came to the Hidden Shadows Village, probably for the same purpose and thought as me!"

Yes, the Dark Shrine and the Akatsuki are currently at the forefront of the ninja world. Their every move is enough to influence the entire ninja world and determine war and peace...

Itachi confessed, "Six years ago, I disobeyed my father's arrangements and came to the Hidden Shadows Village with this intention in mind..."

"Let's not talk about that now, I have something to give you!"

Shisui pulled a vessel from his robes, inside which resided an eye: "This is what Mr. Fugaku entrusted to me to give you six years ago, on the night of the Uchiha massacre! It's your father's right eye!"

Itachi reached out a trembling hand and took it: "Father's...eyes?"

"Yes, that night Mr. Fugaku wanted to control the Nine-Tails to protect the Uchiha, but Danzo saw through his plan and set up an ambush. When I met Mr. Fugaku, Danzo had already taken his left eye."

"I originally advised Mr. Fugaku to leave with me, but he was determined to live and die with the Uchiha clan, and entrusted his right eye to me to give to you, hoping that you would obtain the true power of the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"Now I'm going to show you everything I witnessed on the night of the Uchiha massacre, Itachi. Look into my eyes!"

Noisy!

Shisui's eyes transformed into kaleidoscopes, revealing everything he had witnessed through those eyes to Itachi without reservation!

"Father, Mother, everyone!!"

Thump!! Itachi knelt on the ground, his teeth clenched, his eyes bloodshot... until, anger and pain broke through the critical point, he suddenly covered his eyes, and bloody tears flowed down his cheeks!

*Whoosh!* A dramatic change occurred with his three tomoe—he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!!

Looking into Itachi's eyes, Shisui said with a complicated expression, "Just as I expected, when you witness this scene with your own eyes, you will also awaken these eyes..."

After a long while, Itachi finally calmed down. He wiped the blood and tears from his face, his Mangekyou Sharingan transformed into three tomoe, and he stood up: "Shisui-nii, besides fulfilling my father's request and helping me awaken these eyes, there must be other more important things..."

Yes, otherwise Shisui wouldn't have bothered to call himself to a place like this.

Shisui said, "During these five years, I infiltrated Akatsuki and discovered a secret... The leader of Akatsuki is ostensibly Pain, the village chief of Shin Amegakure, but in reality, it is someone else!"

"Someone else?"

"Shadow Uchiha Yu!"

"What? But the Shadow and Pain had an earth-shattering life-or-death battle in the Land of Muzan in the Land of Grass, a fact known to everyone in the ninja world!"

"Ah, I was once fooled by this too, but later I discovered... it was actually a play they staged themselves to deceive the entire ninja world!"

Shisui glanced at Liu Jing and said, "So, the Akatsuki organization is the extension of the Shadow Uchiha Yu's goals and ambitions! He openly develops the Hidden Villages, making them on par with the Five Great Hidden Villages, while secretly developing Akatsuki... Its true purpose is to collect the Tailed Beasts!"

"Tailed Beasts!? Isn't Akatsuki a mercenary organization?!"

"We haven't started yet... The plan is to be implemented three years from now, because the Three-Tails died seven years ago and has not yet been resurrected!"

"Then why not act sooner? Even without the Three-Tails, the other tailed beasts are still incredibly powerful!"

"I also asked the leader about this, but the leader's answer was that Akatsuki is still accumulating strength and it is not advisable to start a war with the five great nations at the moment. In addition, he was afraid of alerting the enemy and worried that the countries might harbor or secretly dispose of the Jinchuriki. There was a precedent decades ago when the Tsuchikage Onoki used Dust Release to kill the Jinchuriki in the village who was almost taken away by the enemy country!"

Shisui changed the subject: "But I think that since Akatsuki is the mastermind behind the Shadows, things are definitely not that simple... He must want to achieve some purpose through the Tailed Beasts, to intimidate with his strength, or something even more terrifying! Something beyond our current level of understanding! And the dead Three-Tails... is an indispensable link! Or rather, no Tailed Beast is dispensable! That's why he's waiting, waiting until the Three-Tails is resurrected before he starts to act!"

"If he succeeds... then the ninja world will surely face a catastrophe! Therefore, we must stop Uchiha Yu! Otherwise, a tragedy like that of our clan may be repeated in the ninja world!"

Itachi asked, "How do you intend to stop it?"

Shisui covered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Kotoamatsukami, my Mangekyou Sharingan's unique eye technique can change the thoughts of the other party without their knowledge, making them act out of their own will..."
