As Izumi's small face was filled with surprise and she didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard senior Chisen's voice. But senior Chisen didn't seem to be speaking to her, but to Itachi.
"I see one of the greatest 'evils' in the ninja world in you. I've seen it before, and I still see it now. No matter what kind of ripples my butterfly creates in Konoha, the 'evil' within you seems to have remained unchanged."
Uchiha Chisen's tone was even more indifferent than Uchiha Itachi's.
He quietly stared at the prompt above Uchiha Itachi's head.
His eyes could clearly see the dense text.
A series of shocking future sins were gathered by white text, each character as small as a mosquito, appearing incredibly chaotic and spectacular when crowded together.
This...
This would be the extreme evil that Uchiha Itachi would commit on the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, one year from now!
The victims included the elderly, women, children, and infants.
Regardless of gender, age, or whether they were ninja or civilians.
It could be said that everyone was included!
Uchiha Itachi's brow furrowed slightly. The "evil" within him? He didn't quite understand what Uchiha Chisen meant by his words, because deep down, he truly believed he had nothing to do with "evil."
At this moment.
Izumi, who had walked in in a daze, suddenly thought of something. Her pupils trembled, and she said with immense shock, "Senior, your eyes... did you see Itachi's 'evil'?!"
Eyes!?
Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Fugaku, this father and son pair, immediately caught the most important keyword.
They suddenly realized that what Uchiha Chisen meant by "seeing evil" was not an abstract statement.
It was very likely a literal seeing!
Izumi definitely knew some secrets about Uchiha Chisen that they didn't.
This secret was highly likely related to the Sharingan!
"I did indeed see it," Uchiha Chisen said. "Uchiha Itachi, the 'evil' within you constantly stirs my killing intent. But reason tells me that your 'evil' is not happening now, nor did it happen in the past."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes flickered slightly.
Fugaku thought of something.
"Chisen, what did you see in Itachi?" Fugaku met Uchiha Chisen's gaze. Although he desperately tried to suppress his emotional fluctuations, the concern in his tone couldn't be hidden.
He asked, "Your eyes... can they see things we cannot? This is a power unique to Chisen, isn't it? Have you awakened that legendary power?"
Uchiha Chisen stood up and took a few steps forward, stopping about a meter away from Uchiha Itachi. One was eighteen years old, the other twelve, with a height difference of dozens of centimeters between them.
One of Itachi's feet unconsciously shifted back an inch, and Chakra also unconsciously began to gather in his eyes.
It was because the distance between them was too close!
This distance was so close that if the other party were to attack him, even if his eyes and brain could react in time, his body would definitely be unable to dodge!
However.
Uchiha Itachi found that Uchiha Chisen in front of him was merely reading out some content from an unknown source in a calm manner, prefacing it with a brief statement: "Uchiha Itachi, let's count your future 'evils'."
For some reason, Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt a strange nervousness.
He felt as if Uchiha Chisen had completely seen through him.
Not a single secret remained within him.
"One year from now, on a certain night, Uchiha Hazuki will be pierced through the heart and die by a ninja sword. The perpetrator – Uchiha Itachi."
Uchiha Chisen read out in a faint voice.
Itachi, Fugaku, and Izumi.
All three were stunned.
"Uchiha Hazuki, isn't that..."
Izumi, in particular, instinctively locked her horrified gaze onto Itachi, feeling as if her breath had almost stopped: "Isn't that... my mother..."
"A year from now? Chisen, could you possibly..." Fugaku's focus was on the terrifying ability that seemed to see the future.
If this was related to Uchiha Chisen's eyes, it must surely be the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Fugaku suddenly connected some past events. He seemed to understand why Chisen could always see what evil deeds a person had done, and finally understood why Chisen's case-solving rate had always been 100%, never wrongly accusing anyone.
This must be some earth-shattering Mangekyo ocular jutsu!
Itachi stood frozen: "My, future evil?"
Uchiha Chisen paid no mind to their three different reactions, calmly reading out the content he intended to convey.
"In the same year, on the same night, Uchiha Keshi will have his head severed by a ninja sword and die. The perpetrator – Uchiha Itachi."
Fugaku's eyes widened abruptly.
Uchiha Keshi... that was a childhood friend of his, who was currently running a noodle shop near the Uchiha compound.
"In the same year, on the same night, Uchiha Izumi will be killed in a Sharingan genjutsu. The perpetrator – Uchiha Itachi."
In an instant.
Fugaku's gaze locked onto Izumi, who had been stunned silent beside him.
Izumi numbly shifted her trembling line of sight to Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi instinctively turned his head to glance at Izumi as well.
"Chisen, you…" Fugaku had too many confusions and too many questions in his heart, his expression unable to hide his shock.
But before he could finish speaking, he was left speechless and dumbfounded by Uchiha Chisen's next words.
"In the same year, on the same night, Uchiha Mikoto died in the main hall of her home."
At that moment, Fugaku's fists clenched instantly, his pupils trembling slightly, his breathing suddenly becoming erratic.
Even Uchiha Itachi, caught in endless astonishment, abruptly raised his head.
"The perpetrator."
"Uchiha Itachi."
"In the same year…"
"On the same night…"
Then, one name after another spilled from Uchiha Chisen's mouth, all distinct. And their respective causes of death were, for the most part, similar.
Either pierced through the chest by a ninja sword, or beheaded, or simply had their throats slit, or killed from a distance with shuriken or kunai—all were killing methods that Uchiha Itachi excelled at and were most efficient and swift.
All these names carried the surname "Uchiha," and many were names Fugaku had heard before.
Among these people… there were many ordinary Uchiha clan members who hadn't awakened their Sharingan, who weren't even considered shinobi.
The perpetrators who killed them…
Without exception!
All were "Uchiha Itachi"!
Fugaku could barely keep track of how many Uchiha clan members Uchiha Chisen had mentioned by name, until he heard his own name from Chisen.
Fugaku was growing numb.
"This is the 'evil' I saw from you. Uchiha Itachi… this is also the 'evil' that will happen in the future. It will occur on a certain night a year from now, and it will be the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre. From this, the Uchiha clan will cease to exist."
Uchiha Chisen had, at some point, grabbed Uchiha Itachi by the neck with one hand.
His speed was not fast; even an ordinary person could dodge him.
But Itachi did not choose to dodge.
"Do you still want to ask me why I wanted to kill you several years ago?"
