Sasuke lightly clenched his five fingers.
In an instant, even the last small black fla of Amaterasu was extinguished by him.
The terrifying fire of Amaterasu that had erupted earlier disappeared just like that.
Itachi stared blankly at Sasuke, while the burnt Akatsuki robe on his body slowly fell apart.
At this mont, Kisa, who had just planned to escape, stopped in his tracks, watching this shocking scene unfold in the training ground.
Kisa felt his throat go dry.
That was the fire of Amaterasu!
And it was extinguished so casually by that boy...
Not only that, but the flas, which seed monts ago as if they would flatten the entire base, were so easily controlled by that boy.
How did he do it?
This guy is even scarier than Itachi Uchiha!
After a brief mont of shock, Itachi seed to understand sothing.
The fact that Sasuke could control the flas of Amaterasu could only an one thing!
And that was...
"Is the ability of your other eye to control the flas of Amaterasu?"
Hearing this, Sasuke was a bit surprised that Itachi had guessed it so quickly.
"That's correct!"
He nodded slightly, confirming Itachi's speculation.
Sasuke activated his eyes simultaneously, and the flas of Amaterasu erupted in an instant, forming a black ring of fire around him.
Under his control, the flas constantly changed shape.
"Kagutsuchi! This is my other ability!"
Watching Sasuke use his ocular powers so effortlessly.
Itachi now understood even more clearly how powerful Sasuke's ocular abilities were.
Sasuke, who had not awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, already had such strong ocular power. What if he did awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?
How strong would Sasuke beco then?
Itachi suddenly felt old.
A deep sense of helplessness washed over him, as if he had aged ten years.
"It seems..."
Even his voice sounded aged.
Perhaps it was also due to the overuse of his Sharingan earlier; after all, Itachi couldn't compare to Sasuke.
Sasuke had only slightly consud a portion of his ocular power, not even close to exhaustion.
But for Itachi's Sharingan, the burden on his frail body was far too heavy.
"I can no longer stop you from joining the Akatsuki."
Illusions were useless against Sasuke, and as for Amaterasu, Sasuke even had the ocular ability to control its flas.
In terms of ocular power, Sasuke far surpassed him.
Moreover, Sasuke had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at such a young age sothing even Itachi hadn't been able to achieve.
"Joining the Akatsuki isn't necessarily a bad thing."
Sasuke said lightly.
At this mont, Itachi looked up at Sasuke.
"I want to know, how did you awaken your Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Itachi was well aware of the conditions for awakening the Mangekyou. He now urgently wanted to know if Sasuke had truly... killed soone he shared a deep bond with to awaken it...
"It awakened naturally through training."
Naturally awakened?
Training could awaken it what kind of answer was that?
Seeing Itachi's apparent inability to comprehend, Sasuke smiled. "I think I've discovered a normal way for the Sharingan to evolve. By training it step by step, starting from the two tomoe stage, gradually evolving it to the Mangekyou."
What?
The Sharingan could evolve through training?
Itachi had never considered such a possibility. In fact, within the Uchiha clan, no one had ever managed to evolve their Sharingan to the level of the Mangekyou through training alone!
Was this even possible?
But looking into Sasuke's eyes, Itachi could tell he wasn't lying.
Could this be true?
Itachi had once thought about ways to train the Sharingan, but he had never found any thod.
The elders had told him that only through constant battles and honing the abilities of the Sharingan could it evolve into a more advanced Mangekyou Sharingan.
But battles required continuous ntal stimulation.
And the condition for awakening the Mangekyou was even harsher: one had to personally witness the death of a deeply bonded companion.
But now Sasuke claid it could be done through training!
Looking at Sasuke, Itachi sighed silently.
"By relying on training alone, you've broken the curse of the Sharingan. Sasuke... your talent far surpasses mine!"
"Perhaps all the choices I made in the past were... wrong!"
Itachi looked at Sasuke, the younger brother who used to always trail behind him.
Unknowingly, he had grown to such an extent.
Even to a level that Itachi couldn't hope to reach.
"Sasuke, your talent shouldn't be wasted. If you can awaken the Mangekyou in such a way, you should protect Konoha!"
"Joining the Akatsuki is a mistake. You don't know their true purpose, which is actually"
"Capturing tailed beasts to use as leverage against the Five Great Nations of the ninja world, right?"
Sasuke interrupted Itachi's words, leaving him stunned.
"You knew?"
"Of course!"
"If you knew the Akatsuki's purpose, then why would you still..."
"What does it have to do with ?"
With one sentence, Itachi froze completely, as if he had turned into an ice sculpture.
He stared blankly at Sasuke.
He couldn't understand why Sasuke would say such a thing. If the Akatsuki's plan succeeded, it would ultimately threaten the peace of the entire ninja world.
Not just Konoha no one would be spared.
At this mont, as he looked at Sasuke again, Itachi felt that Sasuke had completely gone astray.
Although Itachi didn't know what Sasuke's goals were, Sasuke's mindset completely contradicted the Will of Fire.
"Enough. I'm not fighting anymore. Go ahead!"
"You cannot stop from joining the Akatsuki."
Hearing this, Itachi wanted to say more, but Sasuke had already lain down to continue his training.
Having just engaged in an intense ocular power battle, Sasuke acted as if nothing had happened.
This showed that Sasuke still had plenty of energy left!
Trying to stop Sasuke by defeating him was completely impossible.
Itachi turned and walked toward Kisa with a grim expression.
Kisa, looking at the silent Itachi, now feared Sasuke deeply, wishing he could get as far away from Sasuke as possible.
That monster could control the flas of Amaterasu.
Soone like that was not to be provoked.
As they left the Sound Ninja Village base, Itachi gazed at the gray, overcast sky.
"Sasuke... you weren't supposed to turn out like this."
But now, even if he wanted to correct Sasuke, he lacked the ability.
Unless he could beco stronger than Sasuke.
But to surpass Sasuke? That was likely impossible.
Sasuke's talent whether in the Uchiha clan or the entire ninja world was unmatched.
To discover a thod of evolving the Sharingan through training... even Madara Uchiha couldn't compare...
Suddenly, Itachi thought of his father, Fugaku Uchiha.
A spark of realization lit up in Itachi's eyes.
"Perhaps... I can only borrow my father's power now..."
