Naruto's Exam

In a distant magical world, a young man named Sasuke roared furiously, his voice echoing in the mysterious continent of Talaria: "Can it be solved with just an apology? Why should even innocent Uchiha people and unarmed civilians be massacred? How can a simple apology erase the pain in my brother's soul? In order to protect this village, can a simple apology easily deprive our clan of hundreds of lives?!"

Itachi, the taciturn night elf, only responded with his deep eyes.

Kakashi, the mentor of Team 7, tried to stop Sasuke from going on, but he knew that doing so would only backfire. In this world full of magic and miracles, they are "shadows", guardians, but they cannot withstand such intense questioning from a child.

Compared to the Fourth Magic War when Sasuke lost his brother and used the forbidden "Reincarnation of the Dead" to recall them to ask what the meaning of home and family is, everything now has not reached the point where it cannot be undone.

The souls awakened by the "Fear Question and Answer" have rekindled the fire of hope in their hearts. Perhaps this time, they can really witness with their own eyes that the dream pursued by Sasuke and his brother Itachi becomes a reality.

That is peace, which, although not eternal, is intoxicating enough.

......

The scene changes, and an Uchiha Itachi wearing Akatsuki uniform sits on a cold stone chair, and opposite him sits a young man who looks similar to him.

Sakura immediately recognized the Sasuke-kun in the image. Although the Sasuke in front of her was a little older, he looked more like the Kazekage Gaara in the image and the tragic magic war period.

As soon as the two brothers met, they started a thrilling illusion duel. They fought for life and death in the illusion world, their bodies did not move, but their spirits were already intertwined to the extreme.

Sasuke looked at the scene in front of him in pain, "Why? Why must the relationship between me and my brother end like this?!"

Kakashi observed the illusion duel in the video and deduced that Sasuke had not yet awakened the legendary Mangekyō Rinnegan.

"If all this hadn't happened, you two might have actually come to this," he said.

Sasuke remained silent, and Itachi also acknowledged this fact in his heart.

After the illusion, the two brothers began to compete in physical skills. Itachi held an ordinary flying needle in his hand, while Sasuke used a simple but sharp ninja short sword. Then came the ever-changing shuriken techniques, including shadow clone shuriken, wind demon shuriken in the sealed scroll, and even the wind demon shuriken hidden inside the delicate mechanism, like a complicated dance of shuriken light and shadow, countless shuriken fell like a rainstorm, but were shot down one by one by the brothers.

Sakura exclaimed, "That's amazing, Sasuke-kun's strength has reached the level of a senior magician, right?"

Indeed, the physical duel shown in the video not only stunned Sakura, a low-level magician, but even the high-level magician Kakashi was shocked by Sasuke's growth.

Only Naruto remained calm, sitting down with his arms folded across his chest, as if he had discovered something that made him both angry and uneasy, and therefore refused to join Sakura in her exclamation.

Sasuke and Itachi performed at the same time: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

The speed at which they form seals is astonishing!

Afterwards, the battle between the brothers entered the stage of magic duel. It was not enough to just form seals quickly, their skills in controlling fire had already reached a level that surpassed that of senior magicians.

As the two evenly matched fire escapes collided, strange curse marks appeared on Sasuke's body. Not only did his hair and skin color change, but a pair of flesh wings like devil's claws grew behind him. Itachi was no less impressive, and activated his Mangekyō Samsara Eye ability -

"Amaterasu!"

In an instant, the pitch-black flames instantly engulfed Sasuke's fire escape, forcing him to leap back to avoid it, but he still could not completely avoid the erosion of the fire called Amaterasu. The black flames actually burned all the way to the ghost hand on Sasuke's back, turning it into ashes!

Sasuke endured the pain and slashed the demon hand on his back with his sword. However, the black flames continued to burn until the entire demon hand was burned to ashes!

Sakura nervously grabbed her clothes at her chest, "Sasuke-kun!"

Kakashi pointed out: "That is the power of the Mangekyō Samsara Eye, a flame that cannot be extinguished!"

Senju Tobirama nodded to confirm: "If that's true..."

My thoughts drifted back to the battlefield of the Fourth Magic War, when Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto teamed up to perform a stunning combination technique - a fusion of the power of wind escape and fire escape, a powerful move named "Scorch Release: Light Wheel Gale Black Arrow Type Zero" by the Fourth Hokage.

That dark flame eye power came from his brother Uchiha Itachi.

I remember that my elder brother once thought that Uchiha Sasuke and Izuna were similar, but in his opinion, Sasuke actually looked more like Uchiha Madara! The one who really resembled Izuna was Sasuke's brother named Uchiha Itachi! Whether it was their appearance, hairstyle, or their insistence that self-sacrifice was the best choice, this idea was amazingly consistent! He really couldn't like this!

In the distant fantasy continent of Ashura, talking about Madara's eyes, due to the invasion of mysterious pupil power, his eyesight became weaker and weaker, so that when facing his brother who was only a few dozen steps away, he could only vaguely recognize the hazy outline of his figure.

"Banara tried countless secret methods to restore his eyesight," Itachi in the video narrated seriously, "However, his obsession with the power of the Mangekyo Blood Eyes drove him to do something shocking, and he reached out to his brother's eyes -"

Sasuke in the image was horrified and repeated Itachi's words in disbelief: "Reaching out to my brother's eyes... What does this mean?"

Twelve-year-old Sasuke covered one of his eyes. Reason told him not to be deceived by his brother again, but...

The story in the video continued to unfold under the illusion cast by Itachi. Sasuke witnessed Madara uttering words of request for forgiveness, and then he gouged out his brother's eyes with his own hands and transplanted them into his own eyes, thereby gaining a new eye technique - Eternal Mangekyō Blood Eyes!

Knowing the truth of all this, Tobirama Senju pondered for a long time, his shock evident in words: "Madara actually took away Izuna's eyes?! It's unbelievable."

A mysterious image passed by his eyes, as if a half-human, half-demon creature quietly poked its head out from the wall, spying on the brutal duel between the brothers.

Itachi transformed into a crow, and felt something in his heart: "If that's true..."

Qianshou Tobirama shouted in a low voice: "Jue!"

Uchiha Obito, who was in the Kamui Space, was shocked: "!!!!"

The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama suddenly realized: "So 'Zeitsu' really exists here!"

Sasuke in the image once again activated the power of the cursed seal granted to him by Orochimaru, and struggled to break free from the Tsukuyomi illusion cast by Itachi on his other eye.

His eyes were still intact, and everything was just a trap set by the illusion. In fact, Itachi's eyes seemed to hide some abnormality.

Uzumaki Mito frowned, knowing clearly in his heart: from that moment on, earth-shaking changes had taken place in the child's body.

"Ugh—Puff—!" Without any warning, Itachi fell to his knees, spitting blood from his mouth.

In the shadows of Konoha Ninja School, Shisui stared at the scene with bated breath, pain tearing at his chest like a sharp blade. He knew that the person he regarded as a confidant and a brother was about to face a life-and-death crisis...

Sasuke in the video was unaware of this situation. The fire of revenge was burning, and his only thought was to defeat Itachi and avenge his family!

Itachi said weakly: "This is my last bit of strength..."

“Qilin——!!!”

As thunder roared, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain instantly fell on the ground. Thousands of birds chirped and gathered on the left hand of the young man Sasuke, and the power of lightning danced with the thunder.

Like a prehistoric beast controlled by the young Sasuke, the thunder roared and screamed in his hands: "Disappear along with the thunder! Uchiha Itachi!!!"

Thousands of birds, thunder, and the roar of ancient beasts devoured the man in the red cloud and black robe in the image.

Sasuke screamed heartbreakingly: "No---!!!"

However, when the red skull slowly gathered around Itachi, Itachi said in a deep voice: "In that case, let me show you my final strength."

"That's Susanoo!"

"Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo is green, while Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo is red!"

"Wait a minute, look! That skeleton is starting to grow muscles and skin!"

"It's unbelievable..."

Unlike before, until this moment, people have truly witnessed Itachi's fully activated Susanoo. It is like a reborn ancient giant, first constructed from bones, then growing muscles, and finally wrapped in skin, wearing ancient armor, holding a shield and a giant sword!

Such power frightened the young Sasuke. He retreated again and again. At this moment, he heard a voice:

"I'll lend you my power..."

The Yamata no Orochi emerged from the curse seal. Itachi smiled and said to himself, "Finally, it's here, Orochimaru."

"Ten Fist Sword!"

Uzumaki Mito shouted, "Sealing Sword!"

Indeed, for beings with immortal bodies, the most effective means of dealing with them is the sealing technique! This is also the reason why the Uzumaki clan is so feared. They possess the terrifying power that can destroy the undead and even ninjutsu - the sealing technique!

The orange-red giant swung his giant sword and instantly cut off the heads of the multi-headed giant snakes that pounced on him. His mighty posture and shocking scene were jaw-dropping.

Itachi, who had successfully sealed Orochimaru in the Tenken Sword, was now at the end of his strength, and Sasuke had already lost all chances of defeating his brother. Both of them were covered in wounds, and Sasuke struggled to stand against the wall, his legs shaking with fear.

Mikoto cried and called, "Sasuke... Itachi..." Her voice was full of sadness and helplessness.

In a distant fantasy continent, Uchiha Itachi stretched out his gloved finger and staggered towards his younger brother, Sasuke. His action made everyone present, whether they knew or not, nervous and their hearts beat like drums. Was the legendary man really going to take away his brother's precious eye power?

"Devil! Is all this true? I can't believe that my perception of you was wrong!"

Whether in the quiet countryside or the towering ninja city, countless people exclaimed in surprise. People had witnessed Itachi and Shisui endure endless suffering and humiliation to maintain world peace, just to avoid that devastating war. However, they could not accept that this young ninja actually attacked his own brother in order to control that mysterious power!

"Stop, Itachi! That's your brother!"

"Itachi, you have to understand that Sasuke is your only relative in this world!"

Even the fourth generation Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning glared at the image when he saw this scene. As an elder brother, he felt deeply uneasy. He firmly believed that there must be a deeper secret behind Uchiha Itachi from Konoha, and it would never be just to seize Sasuke's eyes.

Yes, that was his intuition!

As the image suddenly switched to Itachi's perspective, the scene in front of him became blurry. Sasuke, who was so close to him, had his face become blurry.

"Sasuke...you have grown up..."

At this moment, the audience seemed to be able to sense Itachi's inner monologue.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry... This is the last thing I can do for you..."

"I'm really sorry for causing you so many painful memories..."

"It would have been great if I had trusted you and my father more back then instead of bearing everything alone..."

"If we had the power of you and father, we would definitely be able to... definitely find other ways..."

At this time, Itachi was only one step away from Sasuke. Sasuke, who mistakenly thought his brother wanted to pluck out his eyeballs, was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

"Finally... I finally saw your face clearly, Sasuke... It's my brother's fault for scaring you..."

At this moment, the image turned back to Sasuke's perspective in the future. What was reflected in his pupils was Itachi, who looked extremely weak and bloody, and Itachi's finger that was less than ten centimeters away from his eyes!

"Boom!"

With a crisp sound, the fingers that were supposed to take off Sasuke's eyes gently touched his forehead.

“!?!?!”

Everyone was confused, but only the real Sasuke understood the meaning behind this action.

Itachi showed a gentle smile that Sasuke had not seen for nearly ten years, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Sasuke, forgive me, this is the last time I will do this."

After saying this, Itachi leaned slightly, as if to confirm that he had seen his brother's face one last time and thus fulfilled his dying wish.

This former S-rank rebel ninja of Konoha Village fell at Sasuke's feet.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——”

“Sasuke!” “Sasuke-kun!” “Hey! Sasuke!!!”

"His eyes changed... evolved..."

While everyone was shocked, Sasuke felt Itachi's pain, and also gained insight into the complicated history between the Uchiha clan and the Hidden Leaf Village. The Yin attribute chakra in his body surged, stimulating the unique eye technique in his blood.

The crimson pupils of the double magatama gradually split into three dazzling rings! If Sasuke's physical condition allowed, or if he had the cells of the first Hokage Hashirama in his body, then he would probably open the Mangekyō Sharingan directly like the person used by Madara!

The dark side of Sasuke's heart made him unable to suppress the power of the curse seal left in his body by Orochimaru. Starting from the drum-shaped pattern on his shoulder, the dark mark quickly spread to most of Sasuke's body!

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura looked at him worriedly.

Unlike usual, Naruto asked calmly: "Sasuke, let me ask you, why don't you wear Konoha's forehead protector?"

"what?"

"..."

It was not until then that Sasuke and Sakura realized that Uchiha Sasuke in the image was not wearing the Konoha forehead protector, and the clothes he was wearing were not the standard attire of Konoha.

Sakura tried to defend Sasuke: "Maybe it got caught on his coat? You see, every time Sasuke transforms, his hair gets longer, and the forehead protector tied on his head is easy to fall off."

Kakashi remained silent.

He was quite surprised at how attentive Naruto was at asking this question at such a crucial moment.

At this time, Sasuke's anger was burning more and more because of the grievances between Itachi and Konoha Village, the grievances between the second and third generations of Hokage, and his deep indignation towards Shimura Danzo...
