No...
Is this person really mentally ill?
Uchiha Madara's eyebrows gently furrowed.
What's with this guy named Uchiha Itachi, making up stories about him?
What's wrong with this Uchiha descendant, not understanding the history of the Uchiha Clan, unclear about his and Izuna's story, and directly fabricating tales here?
Although Uchiha Madara no longer cared about his own reputation, his brother Uchiha Izuna was the most important person in his life. The brotherly love they once shared could even lead them to sacrifice their lives for each other.
However...
Uchiha Madara wanted to jump down and argue...
Akihara Kagura quickly reached out to stop Uchiha Madara.
It's just the beginning.
Uchiha Itachi hasn't gotten to the exciting part yet!
Sure enough.
Uchiha Itachi spoke again, continuing to fabricate stories about Uchiha Madara to the present Uchiha: "Uchiha Madara gained vision by taking his brother's eyes, eyes that would never go blind, even gaining eternal ocular power..."
"The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan..."
Uchiha Itachi spread his arms, his voice slowly getting louder: "Letting Uchiha Madara awaken a new power, enabling him to defeat other Ninja Clans with these eyes, and with the then strongest leader of the Senju Clan, Senju Hashirama, established Konoha..."
"..."
Uchiha Madara's eyebrows furrowed again.
In fact.
The founding of Konoha was far from this.
At that time, he was too young and naive, believing the words of that fool Senju Hashirama, leading to the collaborative creation of Konoha. But after its establishment, Senju Hashirama changed, no longer the person who wanted to protect everyone...
Konoha...
Has long become a memory.
This story should almost end here, right?
"However..."
On the ground, Uchiha Itachi shifted his tone, suddenly speaking: "Shortly after Konoha's founding, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama clashed over Konoha's policies, engaged in a great battle at the Valley of the End, with Madara defeated and fleeing Konoha..."
"As for what happened afterward..."
Uchiha Itachi paused for a moment before continuing: "Many people believe Uchiha Madara had died long ago, but Uchiha Madara had been hiding at the corners of the world, fearful of being discovered by Konoha..."
These things were told to him by Uchiha Obito.
Because after Uchiha Obito's identity was exposed, he had to use Uchiha Madara's name to maintain his own status in front of Uchiha Itachi.
Of course.
These things were true.
Uchiha Itachi had merely made some artistic adjustments.
"..."
Hearing these words, Uchiha Madara's face turned dark, as if it could drip water.
He had been hiding in the corners of the Ninja World to allow the Rinnegan to awaken, to find a suitable pawn, not fearing discovery by Konoha!
A mere Konoha...
Without Senju Hashirama, who else could stop him?
"Perhaps Madara is already dead, or perhaps he is still alive..."
Uchiha Itachi squinted his eyes, coldly continuing: "Now, Uchiha Madara can only control others as his pawns, never daring to appear in front of others, merely a cowardly dog clinging to life..."
"..."
Listening here, Uchiha Madara's forehead twitched again.
This guy...
Is really insulting...
Can't he explore the truth before insulting?
"The one truly near the Uchiha summit is no longer that guy..."
Uchiha Itachi's voice gradually turned sinister, a hint of killing intent emerging in his eyes: "The one truly surpassing Uchiha Madara, surpassing that man, is me. The one destined for the Uchiha peak is me. I will take your eyes here. I will gain the power to surpass Uchiha Madara here!"
"Sasuke!"
"You are my new light!"
"You are nothing but a prepared body part for me!"
A touch of madness appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face, and his eyes, influenced by this madness, grew increasingly large, his killing intent increasingly intense: "Originally, the Uchiha was a clan that killed relatives and friends for the Sharingan!"
"For eternal ocular power, a clan that slaughtered each other, even taking pride in this power..."
"When an Uchiha is born..."
"Destiny was already decided at that moment!"
The killing intent on Uchiha Itachi's body was almost tangible, sweeping towards Uchiha Sasuke: "Sasuke, throughout your life, you will be swept up in this bloody and brutal destiny!"
"Come, Sasuke!"
"Let me kill you with my own hands!"
"And deal with the fish that escaped the net that night!"
Uchiha Itachi suddenly extended his palm, nearly completely engulfed in madness as he shouted hoarsely: "Let me kill all of you, freeing you from the shackles of fate, and let my power transcend!"
Uchiha Itachi's roar was deafening!
No one present had ever seen Uchiha Itachi in such a manner!
The Uchiha Itachi before them had never lost composure so severely, as if he had become a madman, a lunatic driven insane by the Mangekyo Sharingan!
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke remained silent.
At this moment...
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly recalled an evening many years ago, softly asking his brother why he was so good to him. At that time, Uchiha Itachi told him, they were forever true brothers. That scene seemed infinitely ironic in his mind.
