Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Yu has arrived, having already awakened his own Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Itachi...you!?"

"Master... is that you?" Itachi turned around.

Where is your right eye?

"I gave my right eye... to Shisui."

"Did Shisui agree to this?"

Itachi shook his head: "It was my idea. This way, Shisui can gain eternal eye power. His blind right eye will revive with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and he will inherit my Tsukuyomi as well. In this way, Shisui can help the Shadows, right, in the future..."

Yu clenched his fist: "Itachi, transplant your father's eye! When I killed Danzo, I took your father's left eye from him!"

He took out the bottle containing Fugaku's left eye.

Itachi took the bottle and said, "Shisui already gave me Father's right eye..."

"That's fine then. Now that we have both eyes, you can use your father's eyes!"

Itachi's empty eye sockets stared out the window... Though he had no eyes, they seemed to be gazing into the distance: "These eyes will go blind sooner or later, because I am the brother of the shadows, not the son of my father..."

His voice was calm, simply stating reality without any hint of complaint: "Eyes destined to go blind will be of no use when the catastrophe arrives in the future..."

Itachi turned his head: "Master, I have a request. Please, no matter what, grant it to me..."

"You, speak!"

"I want to leave this world with my father's eyes!"

"and then?"

"In the future, please let Sasuke know that I am the one who wiped out the Uchiha clan!"

Yu frowned: "Is this necessary?"

Itachi calmly said, "Yes, Sasuke is still a child, but he's different from other children. He doesn't have his own parents or clan. Once he realizes he's different, he will inevitably seek the truth. And when he learns the truth about the destruction of the Uchiha clan, he will choose to take revenge on Konoha..."

"But Danzo is already dead, I killed him!"

"Master, tell me honestly... was Danzo the only one who drove the Uchiha clan to their deaths?"

Yu remained silent for a long time before saying, "I can use the God of the Otherworld to eliminate this risk..."

Itachi said, "Shadow, in the future you showed me, I saw myself trying to use Kotoamatsukami on Sasuke. At that moment, I realized that my future self might have made the same mistake as Shisui—using a dojutsu to guide someone was wrong from the start..."

Yu Moran, indeed... including himself, he might be able to use Kotoamatsukami on enemies without hesitation, but he couldn't do it on his wife and daughter!

Even if the effect of that eye technique is to make the other person act from the bottom of their heart!

But in essence, it is imposing one's own will on the other person, which is harmful to those close to them!

Itachi... was acting out of the same consideration.

He didn't want the curse of Kotoamatsukami to be placed on his younger brother, and for this, he was willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill his brother's wish...

Itachi said in a deep voice, "Therefore, the hatred of the destruction of a clan must be borne by someone. I do not want it to be Konoha, but I hope... that it is me, Uchiha Itachi!"

"Once Sasuke learns the truth, please guide him to seek revenge against me! I will die by his hand to help him awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Itachi placed Fugaku's eyes into their sockets, two streams of blood flowing down the corners of his eyes. When he opened his eyes, a kaleidoscope pattern appeared: "Then... use these eyes of your father to open the eternal light for Sasuke!"

"Although I will leave, I will not truly leave. I will join the Anbu of the Hidden Shadow Village and work with Mr. Hozuki Mangetsu to protect the village in secret, so that the Shadows will have no worries. This is my request, Uchiha Itachi's request for life. Please grant it!"

After that... Itachi joined the Anbu of the Hidden Shadow Village, secretly protecting the village where his younger brother lived and watching over his brother's growth.

Almost every step Sasuke took was followed by Itachi's shadow, but Sasuke was completely unaware of it.

Later, when the Ninja Kingdom was established, Shadow suddenly summoned him.

The two men who had been secretly protecting the village for eight years arrived at the palace and knelt on one knee: "Lord Shadow!"

Yu said, "Now, take off your masks..."

"Hozuki Full Moon!"

"exist!"

"From this day forward, you are hereby conferred the title of Duke of Ghost Shadow of the Dark Ninja Kingdom. Once Ghost Shadow City is completed, you will assume the position of city lord!"

Full Moon asked in surprise, "Duke, city lord? If I become the city lord... who will take over the Dark Guard?"

To be honest, the existing mechanisms are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of this 18 square kilometer area. A more robust system is required.

Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Manyue, I've made all the arrangements. From now on, you'll be the lord of this city and share my burdens!"

Full Moon looked bewildered: "But... I don't know how to be the city lord, and I don't know if I can do it well."

Yu said, "Be confident, you can do it."

After thinking it over, Man Yue said, "I will do my best and live up to your trust!"

Yu nodded and looked at Itachi: "Uchiha Itachi!"

"exist!"

"From this day forward, you are hereby conferred the title of Duke of Phantom of the Dark Ninja Kingdom. Once 'Phantom City' is completed, you will assume the position of city lord!"

"I understand, but..."

*Buzz!* The Sharingan flashed, and the information was transmitted.

Don't worry, Itachi... From now on, when announcing to the whole country, you and Mangetsu will be referred to by your titles, and your personal names will be hidden.

Thus, the two accepted their titles with peace of mind.

The transition from darkness to light is not easy. After becoming the lord of the castle, Itachi is also exploring his way forward. His decisions as the lord may not be perfect from the perspective of a ruler, but they are full of benevolence and righteousness!

He quickly gained the approval of the people, and in just six months, he enabled the people of the city to live a peaceful and prosperous life.

When they learned that Sasuke had been lost in the Valley of the Dead.

Itachi, then the lord of Phantom Castle, stood alone in the rain.

Shisui, who had come to visit him, stepped forward and asked, "Itachi...about Sasuke."

“Sasuke… he’s still alive,” Itachi suddenly said.

"!" Shisui was astonished.

Itachi clenched his fists, making up his mind: "It seems... I need to hurry."

Six months later, Sasuke returned safely.

Itachi found the Shadow and told him about his desire to fight Sasuke.

Yu asked a very practical question: "Itachi... after your battle with Sasuke, how do you plan to exist in this world? First of all, according to your idea, my Omota Style won't work because you died at Sasuke's hands. If you reverse your time, the causal connection will also interfere with Sasuke, and then your plan will become full of loopholes."

"Therefore, my first recommendation is the Impure World Reincarnation. After I awaken my Rinnegan, I will revive you..."

Then, Itachi, who had always revered Yu, scrutinized him with a sharp gaze for the first time: "Before we talk about this, Lord Shadow, I have something to ask you... What method do you plan to use to awaken the Rinnegan? If Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra, the most direct way for you to obtain his power is to transplant his eyes, right?"

Faced with such a sharp contradiction, Yu bluntly stated, "If this were before, that would indeed have been my plan..."

Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, what about now?"

Yu looked at the mark on his palm: "Now, there's no need for such barbaric methods..."

Itachi asked, "So, how much of an impact will your method have on Sasuke?"

Yu said, "I can assure you, it won't affect the foundation of his growth..."

Itachi clenched his fist slightly: "So... there will always be some impact, more or less?"

Yu nodded: "Yes, but I will consider compensating him in other ways..."

After much deliberation, Itachi released his grip: "Lord Shadow, thank you for telling me all this so frankly... After my death, please resurrect me using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but please allow me to voluntarily break free from its control. I will still serve the Dark Ninja Kingdom and be loyal to you, but..."

Yu spoke for Itachi, saying, "But you'll be watching me. Will you keep your promise?"

Itachi said, "I'm sorry... You've been so kind to me, I shouldn't feel this way, but Sasuke is the only one I can protect, my beloved little brother. I'll do anything to protect him! Of course, you can choose to use Kotoamatsukami on me, but I have my own countermeasures!"

When it comes to his younger brother, Itachi is that tough!

"Oh? Itachi, as expected of you... you've considered every possibility." Yu had no doubt about Itachi's words. Since he dared to say it, he must have truly found a way to deal with Kotoamatsukami.

Yu said, "Okay, I promise you..."

Itachi's tense expression immediately relaxed, showing that he still respected and trusted Yu: "Please ensure that the Konoha vassal states do not mention any truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre! Let that matter be buried forever in the annals of history! Eliminate any possibility of Sasuke finding out!"

"Okay." Yu nodded in agreement.

Itachi bowed deeply to Yu: "Then I'll leave things to you after I'm gone, Lord Shadow!"

A battle between brothers... presented from Itachi's perspective!

While Sasuke was plotting to kill Itachi, Itachi was cautious in every way, fearing that he might kill Sasuke. He was also scheming how to make the battle even and not arouse Sasuke's suspicion.

Sasuke's self-perceived evenly matched victory was nothing but a joke! Just as Kabuto said, if Itachi had gone all out, he would have been dead long ago!

"Itachi, welcome back..." Yu lowered his hand seals and greeted him with a smile: "Do you need me to tell you the seal to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation?"

"No need, I've already investigated." Itachi formed hand seals and pressed them to the ground.

——Impure World Reincarnation - Release!

When Itachi got up again, he had broken free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Yu said, "I've already transplanted your father's eyes into Sasuke. Soon, he'll be able to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan..."

Itachi said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Yu asked, "Do you want to return to Phantom City and serve as its lord?"

Itachi gazed into the distance and asked, "Could Phantom Castle be entrusted to Sasuke's management?"

"Oh?" Yu asked curiously, "It's possible, but why would you say that?"

Itachi, with a long-term vision, said, "Sasuke may possess immense power, but he's still a child at heart, easily swayed by various influences. He has a long way to go, and I don't want him to go astray. Therefore, I want to use governing the city to help him develop interpersonal skills and understand the principles of dealing with people..."

"Of course, in order to be responsible to the people and ninjas in the city, it is essential to have an experienced person assist him in managing the affairs, so as to avoid making decisions that would harm public opinion. This is my personal request!"

After Itachi finished speaking, he solemnly bowed before Yu.

Yu hurriedly helped Itachi up, saying, "There's no need for that. After Sasuke awakens his Sharingan, I will appoint him as the Phantom Duke and find experienced people to guide and assist him!"

Itachi sincerely replied, "I am deeply grateful! I will join 'The Dark Curtain' and work with Shisui to secretly clear obstacles for the ninja nation!"
