The events in the genjutsu space were still unfolding...
Hirofumi Ito, hearing Sasuke Uchiha's words, shouted back, pretending to be furious!
"Hey, hey, hey! How did this get pinned on me?!"
"You're the one who started teasing me first, you jerk!"
Sasuke Uchiha stood there, puffed up like a cocky rooster who'd just won a fight.
And just like that, years passed in the blink of an eye...
Over these years, the Hidden Leaf Village grew stronger and stronger, especially as legendary warriors from the past were brought back to life!
The Hidden Leaf finally bared its fangs, launching a war against all five great nations at once!
The bond between Sasuke Uchiha and Naruko Uzumaki grew deeper and closer...
And on this fateful day, the Hidden Leaf Village unified the entire shinobi world!
The five great nations merged into one, and the Hidden Leaf became the sole village in the ninja world!
Sasuke Uchiha, as he'd always dreamed, married Naruko Uzumaki.
On their wedding night, Sasuke drank heartily with his closest friends, celebrating to his heart's content!
He could hardly believe it—his childhood dream had come true!
The shinobi world was truly united, and with it came real, lasting peace!
And he'd found her, the one meant for him!
A slightly tipsy Sasuke Uchiha stumbled into the bridal chamber...
There she was, Naruko Uzumaki with her golden twin-tails, his radiant bride!
Sasuke felt a rush of heat surge through him!
But just as he stripped off his clothes, ready to carry on the Uchiha bloodline, the Naruko on the bed suddenly vanished in a puff of white smoke!
When the smoke cleared, the golden twin-tailed Naruko was gone, replaced by a stark-naked Naruto Uzumaki!
"Sasuke~~~ Come on, let's do this~~~"
Sasuke stared in horror at the barely-covered Naruto Uzumaki, then looked down at his own bare self!
"Arghhh! Damn you, Naruto Uzumaki! Where's my Naruko?!"
Naruto, sprawled on the bed, burst into wild laughter...
"Hahaha! Sasuke, you idiot! There's no such thing as Naruko Uzumaki in this world! That 'Naruko' you met back then? That was just my clone!
I was just after your pretty face! So I came up with this little plan!
Heh heh heh heh heh!
Tonight, I'm finally gonna get what I want!
Hahahahaha!"
Sasuke's jaw dropped. Naruko was fake? She didn't even exist?!
The person he'd loved all this time was... Naruto Uzumaki?!
"You damn Naruto Uzumaki! I'm gonna kill you!"
"Whoa, Sasuke! Chill out, man! You know, a night like this is worth its weight in gold! Heh heh heh!"
"No! Stop it! Get away from me, you damn Naruto! Get lost!"
Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan flared to life in his eyes, spinning wildly until they morphed into the pinwheel pattern of the Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Naruto Uzumaki! Get the hell out of here! Susano'o!"
BOOM!
A sound like shattering glass echoed through the air!
Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan had shattered the genjutsu space!
Back in the real world, Sasuke was gasping for air, his Mangekyo Sharingan glowing a terrifying red!
No one around him knew what he'd just experienced in the genjutsu, but it was clear he'd successfully awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan!
Only Madara Uchiha stood off to the side, barely holding back his laughter. Hirofumi Ito's Mangekyo genjutsu was powerful—so potent that even Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, both Mangekyo users, couldn't see what happened inside the illusion.
But Madara was different. With his Rinnegan, piercing through a genjutsu was child's play!
He'd seen everything that went down in that illusion, clear as day...
And right now, Madara thought his disciple was an absolute genius!
To craft such a devious, downright diabolical genjutsu? That was next-level mischief!
And that final scene? It was so absurdly disgusting it was like disgust itself had opened the door and walked right in!
Especially the part where a naked Naruto tried to do something to Sasuke.
Madara was practically choking from holding in his laughter...
Sasuke, still reeling, couldn't quite separate the genjutsu from reality. His Mangekyo Sharingan blazed as he stared blankly at the crowd around him.
Naruto Uzumaki, genuinely worried, stepped closer.
"Sasuke! What's wrong with you, man?!"
The sound of Naruto's voice triggered something in Sasuke, like a reflex!
"Get the hell away from me, Naruto! Stay back!"
"Susano'o!
You're not getting my body!
Even if you take me, you'll never have my heart!"
Naruto froze, dumbfounded.
What was Sasuke even talking about?! And where did this Susano'o come from all of a sudden?!
Panicking, Naruto turned to the Nine-Tails behind him.
"Nine-Tails! Help! Sasuke's lost it! Hit him with something big!"
The Nine-Tails just smirked.
"Yeah, no way I'm messing with a Mangekyo Sharingan. You want someone to fight him? Go find someone else! You think I'm dumb enough to get beat up?!"
Naruto, now totally freaked out, ran to Hirofumi Ito.
"Hirofumi! Save me! Sasuke's gone nuts, he's gonna kill me!"
Meanwhile, Sasuke was still roaring in rage.
"You damn Naruto! Give me back my Naruko!"
Hirofumi Ito finally stepped forward.
"Alright, Sasuke, calm down! Take a good look around—this was just a genjutsu. I cast it on you to push you to awaken your Mangekyo Sharingan!
It worked, but your Mangekyo isn't stable yet, so you need to chill!
There's no such thing as Naruko Uzumaki..."
"No! That's impossible!
There has to be a Naruko!
This is all fake! It's all an illusion!
I'll create a world where Naruko exists!"
Hirofumi sighed deeply and glanced at Hashirama Senju nearby.
"Teacher's wife! Sasuke's emotions are all over the place. Can you hit him with something to knock him out for a bit?"
Hashirama blinked, confused.
"Hirofumi, what did you just call me?! I'm your teacher, not your wife!"
"Details, details, Teacher's wife!
If you don't do something, I'll have to get my master Madara to step in!"
