Genjutsu!
(We've already discussed Uchiha Itachi vs. Sasuke, so we'll skip the latter half here.)
[Manda: "Sasuke, how can you be so selfish?"]
[Uchiha Sasuke (Young): "..."]
[Orochimaru: "Well, Manda deserved to be taught a lesson. He brought this on himself!"]
[Jiraiya: "Heh, Orochimaru, why are you acting like a clown!!"]
[Uchiha Itachi: "The point isn't here right now. Sasuke, after you dealt with Deidara, how are you going to find me?"]
[Deidara: "None of that matters... I can't believe Sasuke isn't dead. Damn it, this was my ultimate art!"]
[Hidan: "Sasuke, that little weakling, actually killed Deidara?"]
Hidan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Deidara actually lost to Sasuke?
"I'm so angry... If it weren't for the elemental disadvantage, how could I have possibly lost to that bastard Sasuke!" Deidara stomped his feet in anger.
He had lost, after all...
The two looked up at the new scene on the sky screen.
After defeating Deidara,
Sasuke led the Snake Team to find Itachi.
They were blocked by Hoshigaki Kisame,
and the Snake Team members decided to let Sasuke go ahead.
Sasuke bypassed Hoshigaki Kisame and moved quickly along another path.
Anger burned in Sasuke's eyes,
and he moved through layers of dim corridors,
finally coming face to face with the man he longed to kill with his own hands.
Next was the ultimate showdown between Sasuke and Itachi...
Everyone held their breath,
filled with both tension and anxiety.
Sasuke had completely misunderstood Itachi's intentions,
and he was about to kill the person who cared about him the most in this world...
"How far can your Sharingan see?" Itachi's voice was cold.
Itachi had already made his plan.
By this time, Sasuke should have awakened his Mangekyo, right...
If that's the case...
I'll have to take this seriously in a moment!
[Deidara: "Heh, Sasuke still has the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!"]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "A defeated opponent should keep their mouth shut!"]
[Deidara: "What did you say? Bastard, if it weren't for your elemental advantage..."]
[Onoki: "Stop, stop, stop... Deidara, hurry back to the village, and I'll teach you Dust Release!"]
[Deidara: "Ah, I'm going back right now... Just you wait until I learn Dust Release, and I'll crush Sasuke!"]
[Kurotsuchi: "Deidara-niichan, you've finally decided to return to the village!"]
[System: "Fun fact: Deidara could have directly played with Kurotsuchi..."]
[Fourth Raikage: "???"]
[Uchiha Itachi: "Is it what I think it is..."]
"You ask how far I can see? I can see your death day right now!" Sasuke smirked dismissively.
He had just defeated Deidara,
he figured Uchiha Itachi wasn't much stronger than that.
If he felt like it...
Itachi slowly closed his eyes,
"The appearance of my death... Then show it to me!"
Before his words fell, Itachi had already flashed behind Sasuke.
Sasuke's lips curved slightly.
They both turned at the same time.
Uchiha Itachi threw a kunai straight at Sasuke, but Sasuke deflected it with his hand!
Sasuke reacted swiftly, instantly drawing his Kusanagi Sword, its edge precisely blocking Itachi's attack!
In the dim space,
they exchanged blows, the sound of air being torn apart constant...
In the end, Uchiha Itachi had a slight advantage, kicking Sasuke in the face.
Sasuke stumbled back, and just as he was about to counter-attack,
Itachi grabbed him by the collar and sent him flying.
Sasuke was sent flying backward, his hands rapidly forming seals.
Lightning flashed in the dim space.
Itachi watched this calmly,
leaping up to dodge Sasuke's attack.
On the ceiling stood another Sasuke, smiling, having waited there for a long time...
Sasuke's blade pierced Itachi's abdomen!
Seeing this, the chat group was filled with question marks.
Was Uchiha Itachi so weak?
[Uzumaki Boruto: "Master Sasuke wins already?"]
[Uchiha Sarada: "Just like that? Is Uncle so weak..."]
[Mitsuki: "Unbelievable... I thought Mr. Itachi would have the upper hand!"]
[Uchiha Itachi: "No, this is just a genjutsu!"]
[Uchiha Shisui: "The two have been using genjutsu against each other from the very beginning!"]
"You've gotten stronger..." Itachi's voice was weak.
"Itachi, I have one last thing to ask you." Sasuke's eyes were cold.
He felt no pity for the Itachi before him, believing him to be deserving of his fate!
Itachi raised his hand and pointed to a chair in the distance.
Sasuke looked up in confusion.
Uchiha Itachi was sitting calmly on a stone chair in the distance, quietly watching him.
The Uchiha Itachi he had just stabbed had already dissolved into a flock of crows...
Upon seeing this, the chat group's pupils contracted.
So this was all genjutsu?
In the perception of the new generation... genjutsu was just a trick to play pranks!
How could it possibly have such power!
[Uzumaki Boruto: "So strong... I feel like Uncle Itachi is even more powerful than Master Sasuke!"]
[Uchiha Sarada: "This is genjutsu... Uncle's genjutsu mastery is too high!"]
[Mitsuki: "Mom said that Mr. Itachi's genjutsu has reached the pinnacle of the ninja world!"]
[Sarutobi Mirai: "Really? Is Mr. Itachi's genjutsu stronger than Mom's?"]
[Kurenai (Boruto era): "..."]
Kurenai felt a bit embarrassed at the moment.
She was hardly a genjutsu master.
In front of Uchiha Itachi,
her genjutsu was simply not enough to mention.
Uchiha Itachi's level of genjutsu,
it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say,
with just a glance...
she might have been sent to the underworld!
[Yuino Iwabe: "Heh, is that possible? Teacher Kurenai is the genjutsu elite of the village, is she really not as good as Uchiha Itachi?"]
[Izuno Wasabi: "Yeah, Kurenai-sensei, why don't you show us!"]
[Uchiha Madara: "Showing off genjutsu in front of us Uchiha Clan members? Interesting..."]
Itachi sat on the chair, quietly watching Sasuke.
"I'll say it one last time..."
Sasuke's eyes were cold.
The blade pierced from behind, stabbing Uchiha Itachi's abdomen.
Itachi coughed up blood.
The Sasuke from before was also an illusion!
From start to finish, the two were locked in a genjutsu battle!
[Uchiha Sarada: "I feel bad for Uncle, it must have hurt a lot to be stabbed in the abdomen..."]
[Uzumaki Boruto: "Master Sasuke, what you're doing is too much!"]
[Uchiha Sasuke (Young): "...Is it possible that this is still within a genjutsu?"]
[Onoki: "Holy crap, this is still in genjutsu?"]
[Fourth Raikage: "The Uchiha Clan's power is terrifying!"]
[Terumi Mei: "It really is terrifying... But looking closely, this Uchiha Itachi is also quite handsome!"]
[Akimichi Chōchō: "Do two handsome guys have to kill each other... No!"]
[Nara Shikadai: "I'm very curious... Does the Uchiha Itachi in the sky screen think Sasuke has activated his Mangekyo?"]
"You deliberately avoided the vital points?"
Itachi's voice was calm, showing no signs of injury.
"You said before... there were three people with Mangekyo. Who is the third person?" Sasuke's gaze was sharp.
"Why do you care about that?"
"After I kill you, he's next!" Sasuke sneered.
The Uchiha Itachi before him was nothing special,
and that shadowy third person's strength was probably not much either.
If he felt like it...
[Deidara: "Heh, Sasuke's getting arrogant again!"]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "Then why did you lose to me?"]
[Deidara: "If I hadn't been careless..."]
[Killer B: "Oh yeah! Stop arguing, let me ask a question... Who's stronger, Akainu or Whitebeard? I think Akainu is more powerful!"]
