"Itachi, have you learned it? With your Sharingan, even a Jonin would fall under your illusion technique if they're not cautious; and the Sharingan Genjutsu requires others' help to break free, that's when you can seize the opportunity to attack."
Uchiha Fugaku demonstrated it once and then released Uchiha Itachi from the Genjutsu.
These past few days, he had been teaching Itachi some Sharingan Genjutsu techniques, and Uchiha Fugaku realized he had underestimated Itachi's talent, as he could master many illusions after just a couple of attempts.
This made Uchiha Fugaku feel both regretful and pleased; regretful for not being able to stay by Itachi's side and cultivate him well in recent years, but pleased to see his son's incredible talent. Given enough time, he might even surpass Uchiha Madara.
Unfortunately, the Sharingan left to Itachi was used by that bastard Uchiha Yoichi, giving him a notorious reputation.
"I've learned it, Father. Thank you for your guidance."
Uchiha Itachi respectfully said, as they stood in a forest north of Ninja Paradise, a place seldom patrolled by the Security Team.
After discovering this location last night, Uchiha Itachi also sought out Shisui to extract some information, learning approximately when and where the Security Team patrolled near Ninja Paradise.
However, Uchiha Itachi also knew that the patrol routes of the Security Team were not fixed; they were decided after work the day before and then informed to the teams via a Sealing Scroll the next morning, so... how did his father know?
Moreover, they've avoided the Security Team's patrols several times in a row, making Uchiha Itachi hope in his heart that his father was here just to guide him, without any other intentions.
"Itachi, you recently unlocked the Sharingan. Though it's not yet Three-Tomoe, you're now able to train in the Uchiha Race's Forbidden Technique, Izanagi."
Uchiha Fugaku continued instructing Uchiha Itachi: "Izanagi is a Forbidden Technique that alters life and death, at the cost of losing the light of one eye... This is the highest Forbidden Technique of the Uchiha Race. Unless at a critical moment, Itachi, you mustn't use it."
"Yes, I understand, Father."
Although already aware of the seals and dangers of practicing Izanagi, Uchiha Itachi still pretended not to know and earnestly learned from Uchiha Fugaku.
He hoped to cater to both sides, so he prayed that Uchiha Fugaku was just visiting his son.
Time quickly passed over an hour, and it had already gotten dark. School had long been over, and Uchiha Fugaku knew Itachi should return.
But in a couple of days, it would be time for action, so today he needed to clarify things with Itachi.
Uchiha Fugaku spoke: "Itachi, I hope you can help me with something. Once it's done, we can leave Konoha together."
"Leave Konoha? Father, do you mean...?"
"That's right, come with me. You're not suited to stay in Konoha. If you stay, Uchiha Yoichi will never trust anyone, and might even suppress you secretly because of me. Itachi, I'm striving for the peace of the Ninja World. Then, follow me."
Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi felt a pang of panic, his greatest worry had come true.
Yet Itachi's expression didn't change, and he calmly asked: "Father, what do you want me to do?"
"As expected of my son, I knew you would agree, Itachi; that bastard Uchiha Yoichi probably never taught you properly, he might only do it reluctantly for that bastard Mikota's sake...."
Uchiha Fugaku patted Itachi's shoulder with satisfaction and continued speaking, not noticing Itachi's slightly clenched fist.
"I'm currently following Uchiha Madara, planning to implement the Moon Eye Plan for eternal peace in the Ninja World. Once executed, everyone will enter his ideal dream world, but this requires gathering the nine Tailed Beasts first."
"So, Itachi, coincidentally in these two days, it's almost the time for Tsunade's delivery. Uchiha Yoichi will definitely be in Konoha Hospital. I hope you can find out about the Two-tailed Yugito's whereabouts, even attract her to this place today, and then we can leave Konoha together."
Uchiha Itachi felt a slight shock in his heart, then appropriately showed surprise and asked: "Father, do you mean to target Yugito?"
"Not target, she'll eventually enter the perfect world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Itachi, the Moon Eye Plan is perfect, it's the sage's words from the Six Paths. If you possess the Mangekyo Sharingan, you can also see the stele in the underground chamber of the Nankai Main Hall, passed down by the Uchiha Race for millennia...."
Even so, making him harm Yugito..... Uchiha Itachi pondered and realized he couldn't do it.
The village was currently peaceful, everyone longed for Konoha, his family was harmonious, and among his siblings, he was the eldest with Sasuke and Karin looking up to him. Should he harm Yugito on purpose.... Uchiha Itachi couldn't imagine Sasuke and Karin's disappointed eyes.
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes briefly before opening them and asking: "Father, is this why you came to the village?"
"This is one of the reasons; my true aim is to take you away, Itachi."
Uchiha Fugaku patted Itachi's shoulder, saying: "It's alright, my son."
"....."
Uchiha Itachi remained silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee anything. Despite living together, I'm not familiar with Yugito...."
