====

Noticing that the crow carrying Shisui's other Mangekyō Sharingan had vanished, Gensou remained expressionless.

It wasn't until a single leaf slowly fell between them, momentarily obscuring their view of each other.

Gensou's hands blurred as he rapidly formed hand seals:

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"

Itachi, whose hand seal speed was no slower than Gensou's, mirrored the action.

In an instant, two massive fireballs erupted from their mouths, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air as they collided head-on.

Boom!

The raging flames clashed and spread outward in all directions.

Under the intense heat, even the surrounding plants and trees, though untouched by the flames, began to wither as their moisture was rapidly evaporated.

Fueled by chakra, the two fireballs continued to clash, neither giving an inch.

However, it wasn't long before Gensou's fireball, crafted with his greater mastery over fire nature chakra, began to overpower Itachi's.

Noticing this, Itachi's eyes narrowed, and he decided not to waste any more effort.

Boom!

Itachi's fireball was eventually dispersed.

Gensou's fireball continued its aggressive advance.

Itachi flickered out of the fireball's path just in time.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A barrage of shuriken followed immediately, leaving no room to breathe.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing filled the air.

Itachi quickly drew a kunai with his right hand, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning rapidly as he deflected every incoming shuriken with pinpoint accuracy. His kunai pierced through the center of each shuriken, collecting them in one swift motion.

Before the next wave of shuriken could arrive, Itachi's fingers flicked, sending all the collected shuriken flying back like a deadly scattershot.

As he effortlessly deflected the next barrage of shuriken, Itachi's hands once again moved swiftly into a series of hand seals.

"Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni!"

Multiple fireballs erupted from his mouth, enveloping the shuriken he had just launched, spiraling towards Gensou.

Seeing this, Gensou also drew a kunai, infusing it with Raiton chakra, extending the blade with a sharp arc of lightning.

As the flaming shuriken approached, Gensou swung the kunai, the lightning cutting through the flames and shuriken effortlessly.

Itachi remained unfazed, his empty fingers giving a slight twitch. The ten nearly invisible steel wires, which he had attached to the shuriken earlier, tightened suddenly, causing the shuriken that Gensou had deflected to whip back towards him from all directions.

Gensou, who had been about to advance, had to halt his movement.

After dismantling the trap surrounding him, he looked up to find that Itachi had already closed the distance.

Smack!

A hand, painted with dark purple nail polish and adorned with the Suzaku ring on the ring finger, reached swiftly for Gensou's wrist, which held the kunai with the lightning blade.

Gensou stepped back with his right foot, retracting his hand and then thrusting it forward again, aiming to stab Itachi's outstretched hand.

Itachi pivoted just in time, allowing the kunai to graze past him, while his other hand darted out like an eagle, aiming for Gensou's throat.

In response, Gensou clenched his left fist and swung it forward.

Thud!

The sound of fist meeting palm echoed.

Seizing the moment, Itachi suddenly kneed Gensou, targeting the side where Gensou only had one Mangekyō Sharingan, forcing him to lose sight of the attack. The blow sent the kunai flying from Gensou's hand.

Despite this, Gensou remained unfazed. If Itachi wanted to fight, he would fight.

The sound of fists and feet colliding filled the air.

One clash followed another, their movements so fast that they became blurs, striking each other from angles impossible to predict.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One by one, large trees crashed to the ground under the force of their battle, while cracks and craters formed along their path.

Smack! Smack!

Finally, as Gensou caught Itachi's attacking hand, Itachi also managed to grab the fist Gensou had thrown at him, causing the two to pause for a brief moment.

Their eyes met.

In the next instant, the battle resumed.

Lightning surged from Gensou's hand as he quickly thrust it forward, piercing through the figure of Itachi before him.

Gwaa gwaa gwaa~~

Dozens of crows emerged from the torn body of Itachi.

At the same time, the real Itachi appeared above the crow clone, flipping his hand and launching three kunai infused with razor-sharp Fūton chakra straight at Gensou below.

"When did he summon the crow clone?" Gensou wondered, quickly retreating while trying to figure it out.

The battle had been intense, and Itachi had been within his line of sight the entire time, leaving no opportunity for forming new hand seals.

But there was no time to dwell on it.

The swarm of crows not only didn't disperse but also rushed forward, completely obscuring Gensou's vision.

Gensou raised his hand, ready to strike them all down with lightning.

Without a sound, Itachi appeared at Gensou's side.

Boom!

Gensou was blasted backward, crashing into the nearby hillside.

Crack! Crack!

Web-like cracks spread out from the point where Gensou had impacted the hillside.

"Things... seem to be getting out of hand," Gensou realized something was amiss and was about to break free from the hillside.

Suddenly, a fist struck him hard in the chest, and another hand clamped around his throat.

Itachi appeared before Gensou again, speaking calmly:

"I'm taking back the Mangekyō Sharingan that doesn't belong to you."

With that, Itachi's free hand reached out and deftly extracted the Mangekyō Sharingan belonging to Shisui from behind Gensou's mask, placing it into a container filled with nutrient solution.

"Next, it's your life."

Itachi's grip on Gensou's throat tightened, ready to end it all.

Just then, Gensou, whose right eye had turned into a bloody cavity, suddenly smiled, raised his head to look at Itachi, and said calmly:

"You've really gone all out to reduce Tsukuyomi to such a state."

Hearing this, Itachi paused his actions.

Tsukuyomi, one of the Mangekyō Sharingan's genjutsu techniques.

Due to the unforgettable scene where Kakashi was subjected to 72 hours of excruciating torture in the genjutsu space after being hit by Tsukuyomi, Gensou initially believed that the effect of Tsukuyomi would be a monochrome world with a blood-red backdrop.

However, he had overlooked one crucial detail—genjutsu is effective precisely because it can take on countless forms.

Just like now, Gensou was certain he was under the influence of a genjutsu.

And the only genjutsu powerful enough to trap someone with a Mangekyō Sharingan was another Mangekyō Sharingan's technique, specifically Tsukuyomi from Itachi.

The first moment of doubt had arisen when Itachi's body transformed into a crow clone after Gensou struck him.

Just as Gensou couldn't comprehend how Itachi had found the time to form hand seals amidst their intense battle, something felt off.

A second moment of doubt occurred when Gensou found himself unable to keep up with Itachi's attacks and was subsequently overpowered.

The greatest danger of genjutsu lies in not realizing you're under its influence.

Once doubt took root, Gensou could face Itachi's attempt to gouge out his eye and kill him with a sense of calm.

"You've realized it," Itachi said as he slowly released his grip on Gensou's throat.

Human perception can influence physical responses.

Just as in an experiment from Gensou's previous life, where a person, after listening to the sound of dripping water all night, believed they were bleeding out and died the next day, despite being physically unharmed, Tsukuyomi works similarly. If the victim truly believes they have died in the genjutsu world, they could die in reality as well.

Itachi hadn't subjected Gensou to the same treatment as Kakashi, not only because Gensou was a more formidable opponent but also because he was wary of the potential presence of Kotoamatsukami.

If the genjutsu was discovered early, and a battle between Kotoamatsukami and Tsukuyomi ensued, Itachi wasn't sure what the outcome would be.

However, up until now, Gensou's Mangekyō Sharingan hadn't shown any signs of activation.

It was highly likely that Kotoamatsukami was indeed still on cooldown.

Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan spun once more.

In the next instant, everything around them quickly lost color.

An ominous blood-red hue enveloped the entire sky.

When Gensou looked around again, he found himself bound to a cross.

All around him, numerous versions of Itachi, each holding a ninja sword, approached with expressionless faces and said:

"Although the outcome is the same, you've chosen prolonged torture over instant death."

"In the Tsukuyomi space, I control everything—time, space, and mass. For the next 72 hours, savor this final stretch of time."

As he finished speaking, the many Itachis raised their swords.

In an instant, Gensou found himself in the same situation as Kakashi, but he remained calm, surveying his surroundings as if oblivious to the impending danger. He calmly said:

"Genjutsu is most effective when its true nature is concealed. Once it's discovered, its value diminishes greatly."

"Is that so? Someone else once shared the same belief," Itachi responded coolly. "Let me give you the same advice: don't underestimate this technique just because it's genjutsu. The pain you'll experience is not an illusion. It will be exactly like reality."

"Let's see how long you can endure."

Itachi was about to thrust his sword into Gensou's body when suddenly—

His movements halted, and he found himself unable to move forward.

"What... how is this possible?"

For the first time, shock appeared on Itachi's face.

At that moment, Gensou, still bound to the cross, calmly declared, "Just as I said before, once it's discovered, the game is over."

As his words fell, everything around Gensou rapidly solidified.

"What is this..."

Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan narrowed.

Within Gensou's body, he noticed some violent energy that did not belong to Gensou's own chakra.

But by the time he tried to analyze it further, it was too late.

In no time, the entire Tsukuyomi space had completely solidified, turning into a massive mirror.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

In the next moment, countless cracks spread across the mirror.

In an instant, the entire Tsukuyomi space, including Itachi and Gensou, shattered into countless fragments, their monochrome world collapsing entirely.

The Mangekyō Sharingan technique—Tsukuyomi—was successfully broken!

When Gensou's vision cleared, he found Itachi standing right in front of him.

The two of them were frozen in the moment where Itachi held Gensou's fist, while Gensou grasped Itachi's hand.

Everything had returned to the moment of their taijutsu clash.

It was evident that during that brief pause when their eyes met, Itachi had seized the opportunity to cast Tsukuyomi.

Drip.

A drop of sweat fell from Itachi's forehead.

Every time he used a Mangekyō Sharingan technique, it took a toll on him.

And now, after having his technique broken, Itachi did not continue the struggle with Gensou. Instead, he moved swiftly, retreating quickly.

Unexpectedly, Gensou did not pursue.

At that moment, he was entirely focused on controlling the natural energy he had just absorbed.

During his journey through the Land of Fire, Gensou had gained significant insights into senjutsu. Although it was still early, and he hadn't yet figured out how to perfectly merge chakra and natural energy, he had already developed a method for absorbing natural energy.

The reason he was able to break Itachi's genjutsu was that his body had instinctively absorbed natural energy.

By using the immensely violent properties of natural energy, he disrupted the chakra flow within his body, thereby breaking free from Tsukuyomi's hold.

That's why he said earlier, once a genjutsu is discovered, its value diminishes.

In the original story, even though Itachi held back significantly in his fight against Sasuke, Sasuke's strategy of using the newly acquired natural energy from the Cursed Seal Stage 2 to break Tsukuyomi was the correct approach.

However, the issue now was that while absorbing natural energy was easy, regaining control over it was extremely difficult.

Instead of chasing after Itachi, Gensou attempted to regain control but ultimately chose to expel the natural energy from his body.

Boom!

Due to his lack of mastery, the process was far from perfect.

Gensou's clone's left shoulder exploded, leaving a gaping wound as blood poured out.

Fortunately, he managed to expel all the natural energy.

Not far away, observing this scene with his Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi quickly deduced:

"A different type of energy from chakra, but not yet fully controllable."

Even so, Tsukuyomi was no longer the best option.

Itachi touched his right eye.

Within it, there remained another Mangekyō Sharingan technique, one that possessed unparalleled destructive power.

Though each use would place an even greater strain on his eye, it seemed there was no other choice.
