Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan was truly terrifying.
Compared to him, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were insignificant.
Although Itachi could clearly see through Sora's movements and techniques with the Sharingan, Sora relied on his battle instincts to make the most precise predictions and responses.
In a sense, he was also seeing through Itachi.
Because both of them could predict each other's actions, neither could gain the upper hand.
At this point, victory would depend purely on strength.
Even if someone could see through the opponent's moves, it meant nothing if they did not possess the power to stop them.
"Instinct?" Uchiha Itachi asked with curiosity.
"Yes," Sora replied calmly.
"Every living being, whether animal or human, possesses instinct. Eating, drinking, and survival are instincts, and fighting is also one of them.
However, the strength of that instinct varies among individuals, and it can also be strengthened through training.
The human body itself is like a treasure trove. Many innate instincts are suppressed by the body's self-protection mechanisms because they are too dangerous.
What I have done is simply release those instincts and strengthen them, turning them into a part of my fighting style.
That is why even if you see through my movements or my ninjutsu, it will not help you. I am different from the people you have fought before.
I fight based on instinct, which allows me to make the most precise decisions without needing to think. You, on the other hand, rely on observation and analysis.
Even if the Sharingan lets you see through my actions, your brain must still process the information before deciding what to do.
Instinctive reactions happen instantly without thought, while analysis requires thinking, choosing, and then controlling the body to act.
Even if the delay is extremely small, it still exists. That is why relying on the Sharingan to read my movements will not help you defeat me."
"It seems you are very confident in yourself," Uchiha Itachi replied calmly.
"In that case, today I will show you why the Uchiha Clan is called the strongest. Perhaps you will understand after this—if you manage to survive."
However, Itachi had no intention of prolonging the fight. If the battle continued, it would inevitably attract the attention of Konaha's Anbu forces.
Moreover, his health had already begun deteriorating, and he needed to conserve his strength for the future confrontation with Uchiha Sasuke.
Therefore, he decided to end the battle quickly.
"Close your eyes, now!" Kakashi Hatake suddenly shouted urgently.
Although confused, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi immediately closed their eyes after hearing the seriousness in Kakashi's voice.
"The technique he is about to use can only be countered by the Sharingan," Kakashi warned.
"Are you about to use a Dōjutsu?" Sora asked calmly. His relaxed attitude caused Itachi to look at him with renewed interest.
Anyone who understood the terror of Dōjutsu should feel fear, yet Sora remained completely calm.
That meant only two possibilities: arrogance or absolute confidence.
"Kakashi is partially correct," Itachi said.
"The Sharingan can indeed counter this technique, but it is impossible to counter my Tsukuyomi."
"However, I think Kakashi is mistaken about something else," Sora replied with a faint smile.
"If the Sharingan can counter it, why don't you try using your Dōjutsu on the Third Hokage?"
Others might fear Dōjutsu, but Sora did not.
"Enough talking. Let me personally experience your Dōjutsu."
In the past, even with his powerful Qi and Blood, Sora would not have dared to face Itachi's Dōjutsu so recklessly.
But after recovering from his battle with Shukaku and achieving a breakthrough, he finally had the confidence to confront it.
As soon as Sora finished speaking, the world around him changed instantly.
The environment distorted and shifted, as if he had been pulled into a completely different dimension.
He suddenly found himself bound to a massive cross, unable to move.
"So this is Dōjutsu," Sora said while calmly observing the strange world around him. Instead of fear, a curious smile appeared on his face.
It seemed that his earlier guess had been correct.
"I admire your calmness," Uchiha Itachi said coldly.
"But it will not change the outcome. In Tsukuyomi, anyone who does not possess the Mangekyo Sharingan cannot oppose me.
In this world, time, space, and matter are all under my control. For the next seventy-two hours, I will repeatedly stab you with a sword.
Now experience the power of the Uchiha Clan and understand why we are called the strongest."
As he spoke, Itachi thrust his sword toward Sora.
However, just as the blade approached him, a blood-red light suddenly erupted and forced the sword away.
"What?"
This was the first time Uchiha Itachi had ever seen someone resist him inside the world of Tsukuyomi.
In the past, anyone trapped within this technique had no choice but to endure it.
"Idiot," Sora said with a cold smile.
"Do you really believe your technique is invincible? Uchiha Madara in the past was at least a hundred times stronger than you are now, yet Senju Hashirama still defeated him.
The First Hokage did not possess the Sharingan, so how did he confront Dōjutsu? The title of 'strongest' is nothing more than a joke.
As long as something is a technique, it can be broken. Some techniques simply require harsher conditions to overcome.
Your Tsukuyomi is indeed extremely powerful. It surpasses ordinary gengutsu that only disrupt chakra or visual senses. Instead, it directly attacks the target's spirit.
That is why conventional methods for breaking gengutsu are almost useless against it. However, I have already thought of three ways to break your Tsukuyomi."
"Tell me," Uchiha Itachi said quietly.
At that moment, he finally understood why Sora had deliberately provoked him into using Dōjutsu.
Sora truly possessed the confidence to oppose it.
Yet this confused Itachi deeply. In his understanding, only the Sharingan or the Rinnegan could resist Tsukuyomi.
Sora possessed neither.
So how was he resisting it?
"The first method is overwhelming chakra power that can forcibly shatter the Tsukuyomi world," Sora explained calmly.
"In terms of chakra reserves, no one could surpass the First Hokage. His chakra alone might have been enough to break through such Dōjutsu.
The second method is possessing extremely powerful mental strength. Tsukuyomi ultimately works by attacking the spirit directly.
If someone's mental strength is powerful enough, they can forcibly tear apart the Tsukuyomi dimension."
Sora continued speaking calmly as if he were explaining a simple concept rather than being trapped inside the most terrifying Dōjutsu of the Uchiha Clan.
