Few Days Later
Somewhere Unknown
Itachi looked at Izumi, who was sitting on the mountain's edge, with curiosity. Although her face and everything else were the same as in his world, she carried a heroic and fierce aura unlike the Izumi from his world, who was kind and silly.
TAP TAP TAP
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Izumi looked behind her in alertness.
The next moment, her Mangekyo Sharingan awakened.
BOOMMMMM!!!!!!
"How dare you play with me?!"
Itachi, seeing the massive Susanoo arm smashing toward him and hearing Izumi's voice, shook his head. Izumi had misunderstood him, though perhaps this was the normal reaction if you transformed into the dead boyfriend of an Uchiha girl.
" Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine
( Ryōiki Tenkai: Fukuma Mizushi )
CLEAVE "
The next moment, the ground turned into a sea of blood, and human skulls formed the earth beneath. Upon several larger skulls, a shrine made of blood and skeletons emerged behind Itachi.
The next moment, an invisible slash emerged before Itachi, slicing the Susanoo arm into two and continuing toward Izumi.
'Strong!!! Is this an illusion ? How could an illusion affect me ? Is it some new kind of Bloodline Limit ? Domain Expansion ? '
Body Flicker Technique
The next moment, Izumi rushed out of the path of the invisible slash as it grinded through the ground of skeleton heads.
Susanoo Second Stage
The next moment, a huge pink skeleton covered her, muscles and a meeidians forming around it. Its two hands held two massive blades.
DISMANTLE
The next moment, before Izumi could begin her attack, thousands of invisible slashes rushed toward the Susanoo, destroying it from all directions. Even with Izumi trying to regenerate it, she could only delay the inevitable.
"Let's try my new jutsu on you."
Electromagnetic Concrete Release: Thousand Plasma Cannon
The next moment, hundreds of ten-meter giant cannons made of metal and concrete formed around Izumi, their muzzles pointing toward the struggling Susanoo.
Susanoo Third Stage
Seeing so many cannons and the dangerous aura they radiated, Izumi activated the third stage of Susanoo while blood flowed heavily from her eyes.
The next moment, the skeleton grew thick armor, while the two swords transformed into two massive hemispherical shields, enclosing the Susanoo within.
"FIRE."
The next moment, hundreds of thick blue beams of light rushed toward the Susanoo.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOMMMMM!!!!!!
A Few Seconds Later
The fog of evaporated blood drifted with the wind as the scene inside came into view.
By now, the entire Susanoo was in shambles, with dozens of holes passing through it.
COUGH COUGH COUGH
Izumi coughed blood as the entire right side of her abdomen had been blasted into nothingness, blood flowing heavily from the wound with bones and organs visible through naked eye.
Seeing this, Itachi instantly knew that he had overdone it, but.... you can't blame him, right?
He had only used two jutsu and had even weakened them considerably....
Mangekyo Ability Right Eye: Izuki no Mikoto
The next moment, with the spin of her Mangekyo Sharingan, her wounds began to heal rapidly.
Within seconds, the entire hole in her abdomen was nearly filled, her white skin shining brightly within this hellish landscape.
Though her eyes bled even more heavily.
"You... you are very strong."
As Izumi said this, her Mangekyo Sharingan rotated once more.
Mangekyo Ability Left Eye: Eimu Tsukuyomi (Dream of Eternity)
The next moment, Itachi felt foreign chakra invade his body.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in his house in Mizumori.
"Big brother.... breakfast is ready. Hurry up."
" Ahh, breakfast ? I am coming.... "
Few Hours Later
Itachi sat on a lakeside bench, looking at the royal swans playing in the lake.
"Izumi, you are still too kind, huh?"
The next moment, the world started shattering.
When Itachi opened his eyes again, he had returned to the sea of blood.
Seeing Izumi already unconscious, Itachi sighed and walked toward her.
After picking her up, Itachi canceled the Domain Expansion.
It wasn't that he had learned Sukuna's Domain Expansion. He had simply used Extreme Yin Chakra Nature to form something from nothing, making the illusion a reality and altering the environment, and as for the attacks, they were high-level Invisible Wind Release techniques created using White House, Domain Expansion.
Flying Thunder God
After teleporting to another beautiful mountain high in the sky, Itachi gently placed her on a bed of grass and healed her.
By now, he understood Izumi's two Mangekyo Sharingan abilities.
The right eye is a healing ability, which in his opinion was neither overpowered nor useless.
The left eye is a variant of Tsukuyomi, or perhaps the opposite of Anime Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
It allowed you to see the ideal world in your mind with a time ratio of three days to a few seconds.
During this time, your chakra and spiritual energy would be heavily drained, with most people becoming unconscious before even lasting three days.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Izumi, who had opened her eyes at some point, asked while looking at the clouds drifting across the blue sky.
"Why should I? I just wanted to calm you down."
"By piercing my stomach?"
"..."
"You are Itachi, but not the one I know. Where are you from?"
"From another time-space.... After awakening my Mangekyo Sharingan, I traveled here by accident and then met Sasuke. I found you to ask a few questions...."
"Do you want to hear my story?"
"If it isn't uncomfortable...."
"I don't know about the Izumi in your world, but I am a half-blood. My father was a civilian who died very early.
Because of this, I was always ostracized by children my age, whether from the Uchiha Clan or the people of Konoha.
Among them, the only one who understood me was you from this world.
During the Nine-Tails Tragedy, my mother died and I became an orphan. ( in cannon, Izumi's father died while protecting her mother /// this is parallel world )
Since then, I became more and more withdrawn.
A few years later, the conflict between the village and the clan became increasingly severe, so Clan Leader Fugaku chose me to join the ANBU.
I am only half Uchiha, so to Konoha's higher-ups, I could be trusted more than a full-blooded Uchiha, though not completely.
I was supposed to be the bridge between the two sides, but I betrayed both sides by becoming a double agent.
Later, I completed one mission after another after another after another until the situation between the two sides became like boiling oil and water.
It was then that another Uchiha, who called himself Uchiha Madara, approached me and Danzo.
The two of them made a plan to exterminate the Uchiha for Konoha, but they couldn't make too much noise or withdraw too many forces.
Even if they succeeded, there still needed to be a scapegoat for the incident so that the other ninja clans would not revolt.
Thus, I was included in the plan, but I made one condition—that Itachi must be left alive.
In return I would later join Akatsuki, an unknown organization, and become a spy for Konoha and become a subordinate of Uchiha Madara.
On the night of the massacre, I was tasked with dealing with the Police Department, while Root and Madara would deal with the clan leader, elders, Jonin, and other elites.
After I completed my task, I was supposed to leave, but then I noticed Sasuke running toward the clan leader's residence in a hurry with his Ninja Academy bag.
This wasn't supposed to happen, as the academy ended many hours earlier.
Seeing this, I followed Sasuke until the clan leader's residence.Madara noticed me and ordered me to end Sasuke's life.
So I raised my blade to kill him with one clean slash, but just then Itachi arrived and blocked my sword with his body.
Seeing this, I awakened my Mangekyo Sharingan and also awakened my right-eye ability, Izuki no Mikoto.
Itachi also awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan simultaneously and instantly used his two ocular powers one after another.
He first trapped Madara in an illusion and then used the divine flames of Amaterasu to burn him to ashes.
But Madara escaped death with Izanagi, so Itachi sacrificed his right eye and used Izanami on Madara.
While Madara was trapped within the endless illusion, Itachi burned him once again with the flames of Amaterasu.
Although he killed Madara within a minute, he permanently lost one eye, and the continuous use of Amaterasu heavily damaged his left eye as well.
He was already fatally wounded by me before that, so he was on the verge of death.
When I was about to heal him, he stopped me.
To him, death was mercy and atonement.
He considered my actions his own and felt guilty that he couldn't prevent me from going astray.
His last wish was for Sasuke to live freely, away from all the politics and filth....
It was then that I awakened Eimu Tsukuyomi, ending his life with my own hands....
{ In the official Naruto light novels and manga, Izumi Uchiha was killed by Itachi Uchiha during the Uchiha Clan Massacre.
To spare her from the trauma of the massacre and her family's fate, Itachi placed her in a powerful Tsukuyomi genjutsu.Within this illusion, Izumi lived a complete, 80-year lifetime in a fraction of a second. She married Itachi, retired from being a ninja, and had children. When the illusion ended and she returned to reality, her mind was so fully convinced by the dream that her body collapsed and she died peacefully in Itachi's arms }
That day, the Uchiha Clan was massacred....
Shimura Danzo, the leader of Root, was killed by Clan Leader Fugaku, who unexpectedly turned out to be a Mangekyo Sharingan user.
Half of Root and ANBU were also killed by him.
Uchiha Madara was killed by Itachi.
Later, I understood Madara's entire scheme.
Itachi, who was supposed to be away on a mission, arrived suddenly because he had been manipulated.
I also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, which Madara had predicted, gaining himself a useful chess piece.
The only thing he didn't predict was that Itachi would awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan as well.
After learning the truth and Danzo's unauthorized actions, I massacred the remaining Root and ANBU members present at their headquarters that night.
Finally, I presented Sarutobi Hiruzen with the heads of Danzo and his elites, warning him not to harm Sasuke, or all of Konoha would burn in the flames of Amaterasu."
Two Minutes of Silence Later
"What would you have done if Itachi hadn't arrived?"
"I would have helped Itachi awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan and then eventually given him mine so that he could awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
This is my answer to the Uchiha Clan and to Itachi.
With EMS, he would be invincible in the Ninja World, and if he wanted to create a new Uchiha Clan, then he could."
"What will you do with Sasuke now?"
"I will protect him until he kills me, finally taking my Mangekyo Sharingan for himself.
If he is Itachi's hope, then he is mine as well.
Then, I can finally meet him once again."
" .... "

Author's Note
Hello everyone!
So, that wraps up the explanation chapter. A few remaining plot holes and unanswered points will be covered in the next chapter.
To be honest, I feel this chapter turned out really well—perhaps one of the best I've written so far. At the same time, I also feel I rushed through some parts or made them a bit too short. In a single chapter, I covered a battle between a Kage-level fighter and a Six Paths-level fighter, while also going through the entire story of the Uchiha Clan Massacre.
Even though this chapter ended up longer than my usual updates, it still feels like there was so much more I could have explored.
As always, I'd love to hear your reactions, opinions, and feedback in the comments.
Also, with this update, all seven chapters planned for this week are complete. The next chapter will be posted directly on Sunday night.
Until then, take care and goodbye!
