"Want to help your brother open his eyes?" Black Zetsu sneered inwardly. "I won't give you that chance."
When he collided with Uchiha Sasuke, a small portion of him had already separated and merged into Uchiha Sasuke's pupils.
At this moment, he was the first to be hit by Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi.
As Black Zetsu watched the Mangekyō Sharingan spinning wildly, his consciousness was instantly pulled into a genjutsu space.
Since the main purpose was to help Sasuke Uchiha awaken his Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha simply reenacted the process of annihilating his clan here.
He did not tie up and torture the person under the illusion, nor did he know that the person under the illusion was not his brother, but the deeply hidden Black Zetsu.
Therefore, when the scene of the massacre was reenacted, Sasuke Uchiha was still just wiping away tears, completely unaffected.
"How could this be?" Itachi Uchiha covered his eyes with one hand, looking at his younger brother in front of him. "Could it be that Sasuke's talent is really that bad?"
Logically speaking, the Uchiha clan members should have been able to awaken their Sharingan simply by witnessing their parents being killed.
For some truly gifted individuals, achieving a two-tomoe directly was not impossible.
But his younger brother just cried there, and even after experiencing the baptism of his Tsukuyomi, there was still no sign that he would open his eyes.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Undeterred, Itachi Uchiha unleashed Tsukuyomi once more.
Unfortunately, this time it was Black Zetsu who was pulled into the genjutsu space again, and Sasuke Uchiha was completely unaffected by the genjutsu.
Regardless of how much time passed within the genjutsu space, for Sasuke Uchiha outside, only two seconds had passed during the two Tsukuyomi sessions.
"Impossible!" Itachi Uchiha gritted his teeth, looking at his younger brother. "My brother's talent couldn't possibly be this bad."
Despite two Tsukuyomi sessions and witnessing his parents die before his eyes, he still couldn't open his eyes.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it—"
"Tsukuyomi!"
"Tsukuyomi!"
"Tsukuyomi!"
In a fit of rage, Itachi Uchiha began to unleash Tsukuyomi on Sasuke Uchiha, completely disregarding his physical limits and the depletion of his eye power.
Without exception, Black Zetsu single-handedly bore the brunt of all these Tsukuyomi.
This was the reincarnation of his nephew's chakra. As his third uncle, how could Black Zetsu stand by and watch him be bullied?
"Uchiha Sasuke, thank me!" Black Zetsu thought to himself. "Thanks to me for helping you withstand so much of the Tsukuyomi, otherwise, you would be the one suffering."
Since this was not the torturous Tsukuyomi, but a Tsukuyomi that recreated a scene, even if Itachi Uchiha went blind, it would not have any effect on Black Zetsu.
"Sasuke... Sasuke..."
Finally, Uchiha Itachi collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to get up, with a tear of blood streaming from his eye.
How could his younger brother, who was only the second-best ninja at the academy, be unable to awaken the Sharingan?
He sacrificed his entire clan and used Tsukuyomi on him more than ten times, which was equivalent to making him experience the night of annihilation of his clan more than ten times.
However, even such pain could not awaken his Sharingan. Itachi Uchiha no longer knew how to help his younger brother.
"Didn't you want me to take a look?" Sasuke Uchiha roared at Itachi Uchiha, who was lying on the ground. "Then let me see!"
"What does this mean now? Are you going to kill your entire clan and then commit suicide to atone for your sins?"
"You think this will make me forgive you? Uchiha Itachi, I will never forgive you!"
Sasuke's words caused Itachi, who was on the ground, to tremble slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
Hadn't he already recreated the scene of his clan's extermination more than ten times?
Why did it seem like he didn't see it?
Could it be that his illusion didn't work on him?
No, that was impossible. Tsukuyomi couldn't have failed. That meant his illusion had been transferred to someone else?
No matter how unbelievable it may seem, once you eliminated all the impossibilities, the one that remained must be the correct answer.
Someone had helped Sasuke withstand his own Tsukuyomi!
"Who are you? Show yourself right now! Why are you doing this?"
Itachi Uchiha's deep, furious roar echoed throughout the room.
He had almost gone blind from using Tsukuyomi, only to discover that it wasn't that his younger brother was incompetent, but rather that all the hatred he had prepared for his brother had been intercepted by someone else.
Uchiha Sasuke: "..."
Looking at Itachi Uchiha, who was shouting and yelling there, he had only one thought in his mind.
This was insane!
Itachi Uchiha must have gone mad!
If he weren't insane, he wouldn't have done something so heinous.
"I want to avenge my parents and my people."
Sasuke Uchiha picked up a kunai from the ground, his eyes filled with ferocity, and slowly walked towards Itachi Uchiha.
At this point, Itachi Uchiha's chakra was almost depleted, and the side effects of Tsukuyomi were causing him unbearable pain.
If Sasuke Uchiha were to make a move, he would have no power to resist.
Buzz!
At the critical moment, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared, and Obito Uchiha emerged from it.
"Danzo is here with his men! Let's go!"
After appearing, Obito Uchiha grabbed Itachi Uchiha, intending to take him away from the place immediately.
"Wait, I have something else to say." Itachi Uchiha looked at Sasuke Uchiha. "My foolish younger brother, hate me!"
"If you want to avenge your people and parents, then strive to become stronger until you have eyes like mine, and then come find me!"
After saying this, Itachi Uchiha mustered his last bit of strength and activated the Mangekyō Sharingan once more.
Unfortunately, this Mangekyō, having just appeared, quickly lost its power and reverted to ordinary eyes.
"Uchiha Itachi!"
Uchiha Sasuke roared and shot out kunai from his hand.
Unfortunately, just as the kunai was about to hit Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha had already taken him into the Kamui dimension.
"ah--"
Itachi Uchiha disappeared, leaving only Sasuke Uchiha there in a helpless rage.
It was this anger that caused his eyes to change, as if he was about to activate his single-tomoe Sharingan.
At the critical moment, two voices rang in Uchiha Sasuke's mind.
"Sasuke, calm down!"
"Sasuke, calm down!"
The appearance of this voice instantly calmed down the furious Uchiha Sasuke.
"Father, Mother, is that you?" Uchiha Sasuke looked at his parents' corpses.
He recognized the voice all too well; it was the voice of his parents.
"Sasuke, don't let anger cloud your judgment. Your mother and I are indeed dead."
"But our souls are still here. We will always watch over you, protect you, and accompany you. We will not let you face everything alone."
The voice of Uchiha Fugaku rang in Sasuke's mind once again. At the same time, Uchiha Sasuke felt a momentary daze, and then he arrived in his own mental space.
