**Real World**
With a resounding crash, Itachi clutched his left eye and fell to one knee. "Sasuke, you actually broke through Tsukuyomi!"
Sasuke's voice was icy. "Itachi, no matter what you try, today will be your end!"
Everyone was stunned.
Kakashi was in disbelief. "What? Sasuke can actually break Tsukuyomi?"
Even with his Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi wasn't confident he could escape unscathed from Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
Kurotsuchi was equally shocked. Sasuke had faced the master of the Tsukuyomi world and emerged victorious. His talent had clearly surpassed Itachi's expectations!
Mei Terumi's expression was grave. Sasuke had effortlessly broken the Tsukuyomi, a technique feared even by Kage-level shinobi. Uchiha Sasuke's power was indeed unfathomable.
White Zetsu remarked, "Oh, Itachi is completely overwhelmed!"
Black Zetsu added, "I didn't expect Sasuke to break Tsukuyomi. If Itachi doesn't get serious now, he'll definitely lose this duel!"
White Zetsu speculated, "So, will Itachi use Amaterasu?"
Black Zetsu replied, "Most likely..."
Itachi slowly stood up. Sasuke's growth was impressive, but the real concern was that his secret was about to be exposed. If Sasuke learned everything, he might take drastic actions...
There was no other choice. Shisui, it seems it's time to use your power!
Sasuke glared at Itachi coldly. Breaking Tsukuyomi was just the beginning. Next, he wanted to uncover everything about Itachi and finally kill him without hesitation!
Sasuke glanced at Karin. "Continue!"
Karin took a deep breath. "Yes! At that time, the Uchiha clan was deeply dissatisfied with the village leaders' treatment, so they planned a coup."
Tsunade's expression darkened. Since Uchiha Madara's defection, the village leaders had indeed been unfair to the Uchiha clan...
Karin continued, "Sasuke, your father, Fugaku, wanted to resolve the conflict peacefully, but the radicals within the Uchiha clan were too powerful..."
Hearing this, Sasuke felt a growing sense of foreboding.
Sakura was uneasy, sensing danger approaching.
Karin explained, "The coup was inevitable, but the Uchiha clan couldn't win with their strength. If the coup failed, Sasuke, you would die!"
Sasuke grew increasingly restless.
Karin cautiously added, "Sasuke, at that time, Danzo approached Itachi and threatened him, using your life as leverage..."
Sasuke clenched his fists. "Karin, stop!"
Karin persisted, "After slaughtering his clan, Itachi accepted a secret mission—to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization and monitor this dangerous group for Konoha!"
"This is the truth about Uchiha Itachi!"
Everyone was shocked. Could this really be true?
Sakura was in turmoil. A storm raged in her heart.
How could this be? What had Sasuke's quest for revenge been all along?
Sasuke shouted, "Lies! It's all lies!"
If what Karin said was true, then his entire life had been a lie.
A massive lie orchestrated by Itachi!
His heart pounded, anger boiled.
Sasuke glared at Itachi. "Speak! I want to hear the truth from your own mouth!"
Itachi's expression was blank. "It's pointless to say anything now... But even so, it doesn't hurt to tell you myself..."
Sasuke clenched his fists.
Itachi paused. "Yes, everything you've heard is true."
Sasuke was shocked. His intuition told him Itachi wasn't lying.
Everyone took a deep breath. To save his brother's life, Itachi had borne the pain of killing his entire clan. Who would have thought Uchiha Itachi carried such a heavy burden?
Karin bit her lip. Sasuke, you must hold on. If it were you, you would overcome this difficult test!
Sakura's heart ached. Three years ago, she didn't go with Sasuke. This time, she would stand by him no matter what!
White Zetsu exclaimed, "Unbelievable, Uchiha Itachi was an undercover agent!"
Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes. "Uchiha Itachi, what a formidable ninja!"
Sasuke took a step forward. "Why? Since you've been deceiving me all along, why tell the truth now?"
Itachi replied, "My foolish little brother, because there's no need to hide it anymore..."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Itachi, what are you planning?"
Itachi didn't answer but glanced at Karin. "Fortunately, you delayed long enough; otherwise, this technique wouldn't be ready so quickly..."
Karin was shocked. No wonder Itachi didn't stop her from revealing the truth. He had a plan all along!
Buzz!
The air changed, as if filled with lead.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed. Itachi was finally getting serious!
Even Kage-level shinobi like Tsunade and Mei Terumi felt the immense pressure.
It was terrifying. The spell hadn't even been activated, yet it sent shivers down their spines. What kind of technique was Itachi about to use?
Chirp chirp!
Chidori lance pierced toward Itachi.
Sasuke roared, "Itachi, because of your lies, I've always hated you. Everything I've done was to kill you..."
Itachi bent down to avoid the Chidori lance.
Sasuke continued, "Itachi, because of you, my life is a complete falsehood. I wish you had killed me that night, during the massacre!"
Itachi's eyes showed a trace of sadness. "Forgive me, Sasuke..."
Sasuke retorted, "Forgive you? No, I'll never forgive you for what you did!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball!"
As soon as the words fell, a sea of fire with a horizontal area of dozens of meters surged forward.
Itachi's face changed. Not good. Sasuke's fire was too strong to ignore...
While thinking, his hands quickly formed seals, matching the Great Fireball.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball!"
Boom!
The two great fireballs collided.
Chi Chi Chi!
Sasuke's fire overwhelmed Itachi's, spreading rapidly in his direction.
Mei Terumi was shocked. What a terrifying fire style. Even with water style, she could barely resist it!
Sakura's eyes were sore. This was Sasuke's anger. This fire was also burning his heart!
Black Zetsu warned, "Not good. If he doesn't take this seriously, Itachi will definitely lose."
White Zetsu added, "Although he's a traitor, he was a member of Akatsuki after all. I reluctantly helped him... Wait, that's Amaterasu!"
Itachi's right eye shed tears of blood. "Amaterasu!"
Instantly, the black flames devoured the sky-high flames.
Everyone was amazed.
Sasuke clenched his fists in front of his chest. "Itachi, one last question, what am I to you?"
Itachi was silent for a long time, finally moving his lips.
At that moment, Sasuke couldn't hold back his tears, his heart in turmoil.
At that moment, Itachi unleashed the strongest illusion of the Mangekyō Sharingan without hesitation.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
Sasuke's body shook, then he stood motionless like a puppet...
