Chapter 167 - Chapter 167: Do You Really Need To Go This Far?

From the original storyline, it is known that Uchiha Shisui was Itachi's only family friend, and they had trained together since childhood. Uchiha Shisui should have taught Uchiha Itachi many training methods, and the relationship between Shisui and him was both teacher and friend.

And Uchiha Itachi, hearing Uchiha Ryosuke's words, became even more angry. He actually dared to mention Shisui and even wanted him to take revenge on the Third Hokage.

The hatred in his heart grew even stronger, and his face twisted. "This is all your fault. If it weren't for your arrogance and tyranny, how could Shisui have ended up like this?"

Ryosuke was stunned for a moment upon hearing the other party's words, and anger appeared even more on his face. "What are you saying? What does this have to do with me? Was I the one who killed Shisui?"

He felt that Itachi's thinking was abnormal. Was this what was meant by the so-called ability to think from the Hokage's perspective since childhood?

He directly cursed. "Are you a pig-brained idiot?"

It was the same in the original storyline—knowing full well that it was Danzo who made a move on Shisui and even took one of his eyes, yet still following Danzo's orders and turning the blade on his own clan.

This was truly a perverse way of thinking. If he couldn't even figure out who his real enemy was, what kind of "Hokage thinking" was this? Wasn't this just pure stupidity?

However, Itachi had no reaction at all to Ryosuke's insults. As expected, Uchiha Ryosuke still had no sense of repentance.

It was precisely because he stood from the village's perspective that he could see the problem was Uchiha Ryosuke. If Uchiha Ryosuke had not been so arrogant and tyrannical in the village, how could the Third Hokage have made a move on Shisui?

The true culprit was Uchiha Ryosuke. The other party's thinking was too low-level. Such a threat to the village could only be eliminated.

He gathered his pupil power into his left eye, and the Mangekyō Sharingan emitted a scarlet glow.

"Tsukuyomi."

He intended to pull Uchiha Ryosuke's mind into an illusionary realm and then completely destroy the other party's spirit.

Tsukuyomi was not a gentle illusion like Shisui's, which modified a person's thoughts. His illusion was one of terrifying lethality.

However, Uchiha Ryosuke naturally felt an astonishing suction force trying to pull in his mental energy, but his own eyes once again successfully blocked Itachi's ocular technique.

'This technique should be Tsukuyomi, one of the top-tier illusion attacks in the shinobi world.'

It specifically targeted a person's mind. He hadn't expected that Itachi was still obstinately assisting the enemy.

Right now, Uchiha Ryosuke was furious. If the other party weren't a member of the Uchiha clan, he would have long since kicked Itachi to death. But now, he had to capture him alive and let the clan judge him.

The minimum punishment would be gouging out both of his eyes and imprisoning him for life.

Itachi's face turned grim. He could clearly feel that he hadn't pulled the other party's mind into the illusionary space, and he was shocked. 'How is this possible?'

"How could my Tsukuyomi be ineffective? This is my exclusive ocular technique!'"

Ryosuke sneered as he looked at him. "It's useless. All illusions are ineffective against me."

Uchiha Itachi was shocked to hear this. 'All illusions were ineffective? How could that be possible?'

His illusions were among the most advanced. Had the other party awakened some incredible illusion-resisting ability?

But he didn't have time to confirm it now. If Tsukuyomi was ineffective, then he would use another trump card—one that could burn everything to ashes.

He gathered his pupil power into his right eye and focused it on Ryosuke.

A mass of black flames burst forth at high speed. Upon releasing these black flames, Itachi felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and he couldn't help but close his right eye as blood trickled down.

Ryosuke saw the black flames—how could he not recognize them?

This was Amaterasu, the terrifying flames that could burn everything to ashes.

Ordinary flames he could easily extinguish with a flick of his hand, but this one was different. He quickly dodged away, and the black flames hit a tree behind him, instantly engulfing it in a raging blaze, thick black smoke rising into the air.

Seeing this scene, even Uchiha Ryosuke was shocked. He absolutely could not let this fire touch him.

Uchiha Itachi was also disappointed—it had missed. Enduring the pain in his eyes, he opened them again and shot another burst of black flames at Uchiha Ryosuke.

Ryosuke naturally chose to dodge. He did not take the risk of approaching Itachi, because getting touched by these black flames would be a disaster.

Although, in theory, he could cut off the burning part, like how the Fourth Raikage had accidentally been hit by this technique in the original storyline and had no choice but to amputate his own arm.

That was truly painful, and he definitely didn't want to go through that. He wasn't willing to cut off any part of his body.

With his current speed, he could easily dodge. He wanted to see just how much pupil power Itachi had left to keep shooting out these black flames.

The forest caught fire, producing thick black smoke that naturally attracted the attention of the Uchiha clan members in the clan grounds.

They were surprised to see that the smoke was coming from the small grove where Uchiha Ryosuke always trained.

It was on fire, so they decided they should put it out. Since the surrounding area was all forest, if the fire spread, their clan grounds would be in danger.

Several Uchiha clan members quickly rushed toward the source of the smoke. When they arrived, they saw the black flames burning on the trees and were all shocked.

Just looking at these black flames filled them with an inexplicable fear. They weren't orange but black.

They were about to use something to extinguish them.

Uchiha Ryosuke also noticed his clan members approaching. Seeing them trying to put out the flames, he thought they were courting death.

He quickly shouted. "Don't go near those flames! Stay away!"

The clan members who had been about to put out the flames were shocked upon hearing Ryosuke's shout.

They stopped their actions and quickly backed away. At this moment, they could also see Uchiha Itachi in the distance shooting more black flames at Ryosuke.

What shocked them even more was that Uchiha Itachi's pupils weren't the three-tomoe Sharingan but a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, they were also very confused. Why were Itachi and Ryosuke fighting so intensely, using such terrifying techniques?

Even if it were a spar, this was completely unnecessary. This was an all-out battle.

Thinking of this, they realized something was wrong. Could it be that Uchiha Itachi was trying to kill Ryosuke?

This was a huge matter—they had to report it to the clan leader immediately. They did not choose to rashly join the battlefield. After all, even Ryosuke could only keep dodging those black flames.

And Uchiha Itachi, seeing people arriving, became even more anxious.

This incident would soon spread to the clan. He had to eliminate Uchiha Ryosuke quickly, or the consequences would be severe.

Enduring the intense pain in his eyes, he fired another burst of black flames. This time, the blood from the corner of his right eye dripped to the ground.

Uchiha Ryosuke saw that Itachi still had enough pupil power to use Amaterasu, completely disregarding the pain in his eyes, and felt speechless.

Damn it, did he really hate him this much?

He roared angrily. "I didn't even kill Shisui! Do you really need to go this far?"

Anyone who didn't know the situation would think he had wiped out Itachi's entire family. But thinking about it, he suddenly understood.
