After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chapter 178 You were harmed by the white-haired, red-eyed guy.

The scene shifts to Sasuke leaning against a stone tablet, sweating profusely as he mobilizes his chakra to calm the numbness in his body.

Although his Great Dragon Fire Technique had just neutralized Itachi's Water Dragon Bullet, it hadn't completely evaporated the Water Dragon Bullet. Therefore, the scattered water streams still struck him with electric current.

Sasuke genuinely had no idea that his older brother possessed such a skillful Water Release technique.

The intelligence gap caused Sasuke to suffer a minor setback.

However, despite suffering a loss, Sasuke was smiling at this moment!

He was laughing heartily and happily.

"This is what makes a battle interesting, Itachi!"

Sasuke peered out and shouted into the fog.

His response was a barrage of kunai with explosive tags attached.

Hearing the shrill sound of kunai slicing through the air, Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and he also unearthed two kunai from the sealing scrolls on his wrists, preparing for a fierce ninja tool battle with Itachi.

However, before he could pinpoint the location of the kunai by listening to the sound, a series of dense metallic clanging sounds rang out before he could move.

As Sasuke listened to these sounds, a memory suddenly flashed before his eyes—a scene from when he was a child watching Itachi train with shuriken.

Knowing what Itachi was planning, Sasuke put away his kunai and formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Tremor Core!"

Just like stepping on an elevator, the ground beneath Sasuke's feet rapidly descended, and Sasuke was carried along by the falling ground, sinking into the earth.

"Jingle bells!"

As expected, Itachi's kunai were scattered around the stone tablet.

At the same time, the detonator burned out.

"Rumble, rumble—"

The violent explosion shattered the stone tablet, tore the earth apart, and instantly cleared the fog, leaving Sasuke's original spot as a ruin.

But Itachi didn't sense Sasuke's movements until the area was reduced to ruins.

"Where did it go?" Itachi's mind raced, his sharp Sharingan scanning his surroundings: "Front, back, left, right, up, down?"

"Yes, sir!" Itachi suddenly looked down, and a strong hand suddenly reached out from the ground and grabbed his ankle.

"Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique!" Sasuke's angry roar came from underground.

A powerful force propelled Itachi's body downwards rapidly.

In the end, only Itachi's head remained above ground!

"It worked?" Sasuke looked at Itachi's head with a hint of doubt.

"No, it failed!" Itachi said calmly.

Then, amidst Sasuke's displeased expression, Itachi, who had been buried in the ground, transformed back into a crow and vanished.

Just as Chiyu said, Itachi has a passive ability to turn unfavorable situations into illusions.

A sudden gust of wind, seemingly out of nowhere, swept in and dispersed the fog inside the room.

Sasuke turned his head and saw his cold older brother sitting on the clan leader's stone chair. His Akatsuki robe, which should have been blown to pieces by the explosive tags, was neatly arranged, and his left hand was on his collar, looking very relaxed.

Upon seeing this, Sasuke understood everything: "Crow clones, crow clones, all crow clones, could this be a crow clone too?"

"of course not."

Itachi shook his head slightly: "I'm not a Jinchūriki, I don't have that much chakra!"

"So, it's about time we stopped here, Sasuke!"

Itachi closed his eyes, then opened them again, and the indifferent three-tomoe jade pendant transformed into a scarlet blood-red windmill.

A tear of blood slid down from his left eye: "Tsukuyomi!"

Sasuke was taken aback.

The next second, everything in front of him shattered like a mirror, the blood-red sky seemed to stretch endlessly, and a feeling of being suspended in mid-air came from his hands and feet.

Sasuke then realized that he had been captured by Itachi and taken into a pure genjutsu space, where he was tied to a cross.

"Is this the Tsukuyomi that Kakashi mentioned before?"

The black and white Itachi walked up to Sasuke: "That was Kakashi's first encounter with Tsukuyomi, but not yours."

"Masaka!" Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise.

"You guessed right!"

Itachi nodded: "The scene you saw on the night of the massacre was what I instilled in you through Tsukuyomi! The Avengers are the script I arranged for you!"

"Originally, in my plan, I was supposed to die today, and then use my death to awaken your Mangekyou Sharingan. With my Mangekyou Sharingan, you could awaken the ultimate eye of the Uchiha clan—the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"Just as I expected!" Sasuke gritted his teeth in displeasure.

"So, leave Akatsuki, Sasuke. The waters behind Akatsuki run too deep."

Itachi continued, "And then there's Phoenix Temple Chiba. I can't see through that woman, but I know she's the kind of woman who won't be swayed by romantic feelings. You can't handle her."

"I know!"

"You know?" Itachi showed obvious doubt for the first time.

Sasuke chuckled in exasperation: "How could I not know about something like this? You blockhead who's been pursued by Izumi-neechan, you don't actually think you know more about women than I do, do you?"

Sasuke launched a trash-talking attack.

Damage type determination: determined to be true damage.

Exploit the weakness, deliver a critical hit!

Itachi was speechless for a moment.

Seeing the usually cool and handsome Itachi being attacked by his younger brother's weakness, the viewers in the live chat burst into laughter.

"So-called real harm is the most real harm."

Itachi: We're just brothers. Let's talk business. You've crossed the line.

"Hilarious! One's an old virgin, the other's a young virgin, they've never even kissed a woman, yet they're still talking about women."

"Indeed, there's a group of netizens who don't even have someone they like (just kidding)."

"Dog head doesn't work, you've gone too far! (crying)!"

For a moment, silence fell both on and off screen.

Fortunately, compared to netizens, Itachi had an extreme mental state, so he quickly recovered.

Itachi asked, "Then why are you still..."

“That’s the goal!” Sasuke said earnestly, his expression serious. “If we don’t have some lofty goals in life, wouldn’t we have wasted our lives?”

"..." Itachi fell silent again.

He admitted that Sasuke's words were not without merit; one does indeed need some goals in life.

But you say you want world peace, and it's fine if you want to implement the XX plan, or at least create some kind of world.

The goal is to win over a woman. What kind of goal is that?

Itachi would never agree with such a goal.

He sneered, "I think you were ruined by that white-haired, red-eyed guy!"

"Think what you want!"

Sasuke was unconcerned. He looked at Itachi and said disdainfully, "All I know is that Chiba has been helping me grow all this way. When no one else understood me or supported me, only she understood me and supported me!"

"My journey of growing up is all about her, not you!"

"If being understood, supported, and helped by someone is also considered being harmed, then I'll consider it as being harmed by her!"

Hard!

Itachi's hand gripping the sword hardened.

Those foreign, slutty, and cheap women are truly despicable.

He couldn't understand how his once soft and adorable younger brother had become the kind of person who would do anything for a woman.

Itachi suddenly understood those old men who saw the blond-haired man, and his expression hardened: "So, if I asked you to leave Akatsuki, you wouldn't listen."

"Not bad!"

"Alright!" Itachi closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, all his hesitation and doubt had vanished.

Itachi, who once unilaterally imposed and arranged what he thought was good on Sasuke, has reappeared.

Then, with a soft thud, he plunged the long sword in his hand into Sasuke's body.
