Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Itachi's pupils contracted sharply: "You want to use this eye technique on Shadow?"

Shisui said, "Yes! I know this is not an easy task! In a clash of raw power, I am no match for Shadow. To find the right moment to use my eye technique, I must get close to Shadow and make him look into my eyes. Itachi, I need your help!"

"..." Itachi fell silent at this moment.

Six years ago, he could have made the decision without hesitation, but now...

Shisui said, "Itachi, I know this will put you in a difficult position, after all, you are currently receiving favors and being highly valued by the Shadow..."

"No, what worries me isn't just that." Itachi gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with thoughts beyond his years: "Shisui, no matter how superior this eye technique called Kotoamatsukami may be, wouldn't the peace gained by using it to manipulate people's minds be too empty..."

Shisui clenched his fists: "Of course I know that relying on eye techniques is not a long-term solution, but it can at least solve the immediate crisis! Uchiha Yu is the most unstable factor for peace. At least use Kotoamatsukami to stabilize him first, and then look for other methods. Itachi, please, I have never asked you for anything before! This time, please help me!"

Itachi looked at Shisui: "Shisui-nii, if you use Kotoamatsukami on me, I probably won't be able to resist, right..."

Zhi Shui frankly replied, "Yes! But I don't want to do that to my only best friend!"

"Can you give me some time to think it over? I'll give you an answer in three days..." Itachi said.

"Ok, I will wait for you!"

And so, Itachi returned to the Hidden Shadows Village, his mind heavy with worries...

Chapter 199 Itachi's Choice! (2/5)

On the second night after Itachi returned to the Hidden Shadow Village, he sat alone under the high-hanging moon, reminiscing about the events of the past few years.

Whoosh!

A graceful figure appeared beneath the tree. Itachi gazed at the sky and asked, "Yugao? Is this Lord Shadow? Has he assigned you a mission?"

Yugao said, "Itachi, I want to tell you something, Danzo is dead..."

"He's dead?" Itachi turned his gaze to Yugao, his face filled with surprise.

“It was my brother-in-law who killed Danzo. I was there at the time,” Yugao said.

So... Father's left eye is already...

Immediately, Itachi said in a deep voice, "Why did you come all this way to tell me this?"

Yugao's reasoning was: "Danzo was the mastermind behind the destruction of the Uchiha clan. Now that this eyesore is dead, I want you to be happy too..."

"Thank you." Itachi looked away, not appearing particularly happy.

Xiyan said with a puzzled expression, "By the way, it seems that my brother-in-law brought the stone tablet that your Uchiha clan has passed down through generations. It's on the ninth floor of the Dragon Suppression Pagoda. It's your clan's legacy, right? I've looked at it, and I can't see anything unusual. The content that ordinary Sharingan can decipher is limited. Only more powerful eye power can decipher it..."

Itachi's eyes remained calm and unwavering: "I'm afraid only Lord Shadow can read it deeply. You and I are just ordinary Sharingan users."

“That’s true…” Yugao glanced meaningfully at Itachi out of the corner of her eye, then vanished from the spot.

Whoosh! After she left, Itachi also departed.

Late at night, on the ninth floor of the Zhenlong Pagoda.

By the light of the flickering candles on either side, Itachi stood before the stone tablet, activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, read the contents of the tablet, and then clenched his fists.

The stone tablet itself is the secret that guides the evolution of the Sharingan!

The Mangekyou Sharingan reveals the secrets of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Itachi, you have indeed awakened these eyes. Have you met Shisui?" A calm yet profound voice sounded behind him.

"So it seems that you were the one who guided me here, Master..." Itachi turned around, his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes fixed on Lin Yu: "How did you find out that I had met Shisui?"

Lin Yu said, "Your behavior has been a bit unusual these past few days. There are very few things that could cause such a fluctuation in your state of mind, but I am only guessing. That's why I asked Xiyan to tell you about Danzo and the stone tablet."

"If you come here, it proves that you've activated your kaleidoscope. But on the other hand, it's impossible that you weren't aware of my intentions at all. The fact that you still came proves that you also have questions for me..."

Whoosh! The candlelight flickered violently.

Itachi clenched his fists, fully alert.

Lin Yu said, "Don't worry, I value relationships too. I've seen everything you've done for Dark Hidden Village over the past six years, and you're practically my disciple. I'll listen to what you have to say before making a decision..."

Itachi released his hands and asked, "Master, are you the mastermind behind Akatsuki?"

"Yes," Lin Yu replied honestly.

"Is your goal to collect the Tailed Beasts?" Itachi followed up with a question.

"Yes~ Shisui told you all this, right? It's really amazing that he was able to investigate to this extent..." Lin Yu looked at the top of the dragon-patterned pagoda above his head.

Itachi said, "Seven years ago, you had Orochimaru tamper with me and Shisui. By infiltrating and investigating Orochimaru's laboratory, I roughly know what you did to us, but I've never understood your purpose in doing so..."

"Only after reading the contents of this stone tablet did I finally understand why you used your precious blood and Orochimaru's forbidden technique to turn Shisui and me into your brothers..."

"..." Lin Yu was speechless, and sighed: Itachi, you even noticed this?

Itachi clenched his fists again: "We are the candidate eyes for you to awaken the 'Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan,' aren't we?"

The air suddenly fell silent, the candlelight flickering uncertainly, just like the human heart...

Lin Yu finally broke the silence: "Everything deserves to be treated differently because of the difference in capacity. Otherwise, you would have already gone with the tide and perished along with the Uchiha, instead of surviving until now, isn't that right, Itachi?"

"Then how did you determine that Shisui and I possess such potential? Back then, we were just children, and we weren't even sure if we could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan..." This was the only question lingering in Itachi's mind!

A strange smile curled at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth beneath the mask: "Want to know?"

"If you think I'm worthy to know..."

"Good answer, okay... Let's start with this face!"

Lin Yu removed his mask: "You, who witnessed the Ninja World War with your own eyes since you were four years old, should recognize me, right..."

Itachi exclaimed in shock: "Uchiha, Obito, Obito!?"

"If you recognize this face, that makes things easier. Look me in the eyes and don't resist!"

*Zzzzt!* Lin Yu's eyes turned into a kaleidoscope.

Genjutsu: Sharingan!

A massive amount of information flooded into Itachi's mind in an instant!

thump!!

"Huff, huff, huff..." Itachi supported himself on the ground with one hand, covered his eyes and breathed heavily, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat!

Whoosh! Black blood and yellowish pus gushed from the corner of Lin Yu's eyes. His eyes... were about to be ruined.

Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "This is the future I have witnessed with my own eyes! It's just that I wasn't involved enough in that future! So, it was destroyed! Heaven hasn't forsaken me, I've gone back to the past, and this time, I will reverse that future!"

"Shadow...Uchiha Yu, it's actually Uchiha Obito who returned from the future! This is incredible!" Itachi's voice was filled with shock.

Lin Yu used an explanation that was more acceptable than time travel, so it couldn't be considered deception.

Lin Yu said, "I witnessed what you and Shisui did in the past, so I chose you two as my future eyes. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is the first choice, and Itachi, your Tsukuyomi is the second choice..."

"A second option?"

"Ah, who knows what might happen? If something happens to Shisui and we can't get his eyes, we'll use yours. In any case, I must obtain enough power. Only in this way can I protect this ninja world!!"

Itachi pleaded earnestly, "I can offer you my eyes! Please spare Shisui!!"

Lin Yu shook his head: "Kotoamatsukami, that kind of eye technique that can threaten my personality, really, no matter what, we can't use it outside..."

Itachi asked, "Are you going to attack Shisui no matter what?"

“That’s right.” Lin Yu nodded. He was even prepared to fight Itachi here.

"I understand! Then could you show Shisui what I just saw? That way... perhaps we can avoid a fight!"

Itachi's answer surprised Lin Yu.

"I won't do that~ because no one can guarantee that he won't take the opportunity to use Kotoamatsukami on me~" Lin Yu said.

“Then please let me go!” Itachi said. “Let me try to persuade Shisui!”

Itachi, your vision and perspective are truly not limited by your clan!

Lin Yu gazed intently at Itachi and sighed, "Itachi... whether you succeed or not, you are amazing. I will not treat you unfairly!"

Chapter 200 Uchiha Yu vs. Uchiha Shisui! (3/5)

As night fell again, Itachi met Shisui at their usual spot.

"Itachi, you've finally come. Let me hear your answer."

“Brother Zhishui… I’ve already met Shadow. He found out that we’ve met.”

"Did Shadow send you to see me?" Shisui's eyes immediately scanned his surroundings warily.

"Brother Zhishui, don't worry, Shadow isn't here right now. There's something I specifically want to tell you. Please look me in the eyes!"

Therefore, Itachi relayed the information Lin Yu had conveyed through the genjutsu to Shisui!

"Huff, huff, huff..." After finishing the feedback, Itachi covered his left eye and panted, after all, the information flow was too great.

"Unbelievable!" Shisui was in shock and couldn't come to his senses.

"Brother Zhishui, what do you think?"

Shisui cautiously said, "Itachi, how can you be sure that Shadow hasn't deceived you? As long as the Mangekyou Sharingan's power is strong enough, it is possible to create such realistic illusions and inner experiences. You can't just believe Shadow based on this!"

Itachi, however, said with certainty, "I have been by Shadow's side for seven years. I know him better than you do. Please trust my judgment!"

Shisui said, "Even if what he experienced is true, how can we believe that he won't implement a cruel rule after obtaining enough power? People change after gaining power, and we still can't entrust the future of the ninja world to such an unstable person!"

Itachi's eyes darkened: "So you've decided to use Kotoamatsukami on the Shadow after all?"

"I'd rather believe myself than believe him!" Shisui said apologetically, "Itachi, I'm sorry for dragging you into this..."

"Shisui-nii, I'm the one who should apologize..." Itachi said sadly, channeling chakra into the Kamui dynamic mark that Lin Yu had left on him.

"Itachi, although we have made different choices, you will always be my best friend! No matter what happens after tonight, the future of our clan is in your hands!"

Bang! Shisui's fist struck Itachi in the abdomen, and the latter fell to the ground.

Whoosh! A spacetime vortex appeared, and Shisui activated his Body Flicker Technique, retreating to a safe distance.

"..." After landing, Lin Yu looked at Itachi at his feet: "It seems that the negotiations have failed. Yugao, take Itachi to a safe place."

Yugao hoisted Itachi onto her shoulder: "Brother-in-law, don't you need me to join the battle? Your eyes are already..."
