Chapter 137: Uchiha Itachi Finally Loses His Composure
Tsukuyomi is a special Dōjutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Although it is not the strongest among illusion-type Dōjutsu, its strength lies in its comprehensiveness!
Whether it is attacking, torturing, or exchanging information, they are all strong points of Tsukuyomibecause from the moment Tsukuyomi is cast until it ends, it is only a fleeting instant in the outside world, yet within the Tsukuyomi space, this instant can be stretched to 72 hours!
"Curious about how I did it?"
Because Naruto needed to demand Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan from Uchiha Itachi, it was understandable that he had become talkative now.
"To put it simply, the Tsukuyomi space is your mental space, a materialization of Yin Release Chakra and ocular power through the Mangekyo Sharingan. There is nothing difficult to understand about this."
Naruto unhurriedly materialized a ninja sword and slowly stabbed it into Uchiha Itachi's body.
"As long as your Mental Energy is stronger than theirs, your ocular power is stronger, and your Yin Release Chakra is stronger, it is not difficult to seize the initiative."
"But..."
"No need to rush to ask questions, this is the answer!"
Naruto interrupted Uchiha Itachi again. In his eye sockets, the exact same Mangekyo Sharinganpattern as Uchiha Itachi's appeared, only Naruto's Mangekyo pattern had a double image, and the lines of the double image were clearer than before.
"This is impossible!"
"There is nothing impossible. Even if two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan with identical patterns appeared in this world, it could be explained, but the question is whether you want to listen, and whether you want to believe it!"
"You are no longer the Naruto I remember..." Uchiha Itachi sighed, "The you from before..."
"Don't talk to me about the past. What the eyes see is not necessarily the truth, just like when Uchiha Sasuke witnessed you killing your own parents with his own eyes; it cannot be taken as real."
Naruto shook his head and inserted the third ninja sword into Uchiha Itachi's body.
"What do you know!"
Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth, his body struggling constantly.
"Uchiha Itachi, don't waste your efforts."
Naruto immediately inserted the fourth ninja sword.
"You cannot regain control of the Tsukuyomi space. If you play any more little tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Naruto snapped his fingers, and the scene of the Tsukuyomi space changed rapidly, like a rewind of an autobiographical film shot from Uchiha Itachi's perspective. Uchiha Itachi's personal experiences were presented bit by bit before Naruto's eyes.
"This is the biggest drawback of Tsukuyomi."
Naruto stopped torturing Uchiha Itachi at this moment.
"Because it is built by combining your own mental space with the Mangekyo's ocular power and Yin Release Chakra, once the Tsukuyomi space changes hands, your mind is also within the scope of control."
"So what exactly do you want to know?"
Uchiha Itachi appeared very exhausted and frustrated at this moment.
"Don't try to make yourself pass out; this action has no effect at all."
Naruto was very clear about Uchiha Itachi's actions.
"Before the Tsukuyomi space dissipates, the things you are experiencing now cannot be fed back to your body, so not only can you not pass out, you cannot escape either."
After speaking, Naruto stopped paying attention to Uchiha Itachi, who was making small movements, and snapped his fingers again. A chair appeared behind Naruto, and he sat down without hesitation.
"Let me first see what you have experienced in the Akatsuki Organization..."
Naruto reached out and kept swiping in front of his eyes, as if browsing a video. Fast-forwarding and rewinding were all under his control; he looked carefully at what he was interested in and skipped quickly over what he was not.
The purposeful viewing speed was very fast. After getting what he wanted, Naruto skipped all of Uchiha Itachi's experiences in the Akatsuki Organization and turned to look for where Uchiha Itachi had hidden Uchiha Shisui's eyes.
"How did you know..."
"This is not like you, Uchiha Itachi!"
Naruto sighed. After locking onto the specific location where Uchiha Itachi had hidden Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo, he spoke slowly.
"A look of being in control is the you in my impression; the difference from now is not just a little bit."
"But before, many of your methods were indeed prophetic, calculating everything about the future clearly."
Naruto looked at the image of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo, which had been cast with the Transcription Seal, and couldn't help but sigh.
"But no matter how well you can plan ahead, you ultimately lost to yourself. You are too confident and arrogant!"
After obtaining all the information about Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, Naruto prepared to start negotiating terms.
"All I want is Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo, and I am not going to use it to hurt Uchiha Sasuke, so we still have room for negotiation."
Seeing Uchiha Itachi remain silent, Naruto was not angry. He waved his hand to disperse the image in front of him and then untied Uchiha Itachi.
"You just want Uchiha Sasuke to obtain your Mangekyo Sharingan, thereby Awakening the Eternal Mangekyo, so that he has enough strength to deal with the huge waves in the Ninja Worldthat the Masked Man will set off in the future."
Having viewed Uchiha Itachi's memories, Narutoalso had a general understanding of the Masked Man's plan.
"Not to mention whether the plan to capture the Tailed Beast can succeed, knowing all this, I will not let the Akatsuki Organization jump around like before."
"And besides, do you think that with me around, Uchiha Sasuke will still grow according to your predetermined trajectory?"
This last sentence from Naruto directly broke Uchiha Itachi's defense. The only person he couldn't let go of now was Uchiha Sasuke, otherwise, he wouldn't have used the excuse of capturing Naruto to come to Konoha to deter Danzo Shimura immediately after Hiruzen Sarutobidied.
"Since you already know, be frank and tell me what you need, and what I need to pay."
"Snap!"
Naruto suddenly snapped his fingers and crossed his legs.
"I only need Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, and I will secretly assist Uchiha Sasuke in his growth, striving to match you two to complete the duel you envisioned, letting him fuse your eyes without any psychological burden."
The conditions Naruto offered were quite generous, but whether there were Naruto's own calculations behind this was unknown.
"As for what you need to do, it is also very simple. After handing Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo to me, just continue to be your double... oh no, triple agent!"
"What do you need to know?"
"All the intelligence of the Akatsuki Organization!"
Naruto was not surprised by Uchiha Itachi's cooperation at all. As long as you grasp a person's weakness, everything becomes simple. No matter how much of a Genius Uchiha Itachi is, he cannot escape this circle.
"I don't trust you!"
Uchiha Itachi said with a cold face.
"And I hate people using Uchiha Sasuke as a bargaining chip the most, especially you, Naruto!"
"If there is one, there is two. Haven't you also been threatened by the Masked Man, with the bargaining chip also being Uchiha Sasuke?"
Naruto spread his hands.
"And to save Uchiha Sasuke's life, you have also compromised with the high-level officials of Konoha, with the bargaining chip also being Uchiha Sasuke."
"That's not the same!"
"Is it because I am Uchiha Sasuke's most important bond besides you?"
Naruto sneered.
"Don't deceive yourself, Itachi. Are the things you did really right?"
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi didn't answer, Narutocontinued to mock and ridicule.
"Since you can do things that go against ethics, then me using him to make a deal behind Uchiha Sasuke's back, and it's something for his own good, is much kinder than what you did! After all, he doesn't know!"
"Since you decided to carry everything on your own, then carrying a little more doesn't matter. Although it's ridiculous, isn't this what people like you hope for most?"
"Doing good for others, doing good for the Village, sacrificing for the greater good, sacrificing for the future, but you just don't want to let go of your clansmen, your parents! People like you deserve to carry all this and suffer until you die!"
He had said what he wanted to say and scolded who he wanted to scold. Naruto's admiration for Uchiha Itachi was on par with his frustration at Uchiha Itachi's lack of resolve. After adding the two together, Naruto couldn't say what he was feeling now.
"Tell me your choice, Uchiha Itachi!"
