Forced to sell misery

You can hear the chirping of various birds in the woods, but it is not noisy, instead it seems peaceful and quiet.

Itachi was patrolling around the newly built clan territory - the family had extremely limited combat power at its disposal, but the Uchiha clan had just settled down.

On that day, the man who called himself Uchiha Madara reached an agreement with his father that the entire Uchiha clan would support the Moon Eye Project.

But... does eternal peace really exist?

And what Madara said, about bringing Jing Ye out of the village...is this the right thing to do?

Will the Uchiha clan eventually become the enemy of Konoha?

"Gah-"

Itachi looked up and a crow landed on his shoulder.

"Shisui's summoning beast?"

·

·

This is - where?

Jing Ye looked up in surprise, only to find himself standing in front of the archway of the clan’s territory.

"Go ahead." A man who looked like an Anbu said to him.

Jing Ye lowered his head and saw the dagger in his hand.

This is……

"You are...ah!"

"Stop...you!"

After hearing a shrill scream, Jing Ye looked up in shock, only to see a familiar figure rushing out of the room, the dagger in his hand stained with blood. Behind him, a corpse fell silently, and blood splattered -

Itachi?!

And just at this moment, Itachi looked up at him——

That look...

The dagger in his hand fell to the ground, and Jing Ye stepped back in disbelief.

That look... I can't describe what kind of look it was...

Lonely, indifferent, and resolute!

And just when he was stunned, Itachi rushed to another house.

In an instant, the lights went out and a splash of blood splattered on the window.

This is……

No——How could it be possible? How could this happen...

Jing Ye couldn't suppress the trembling of his body——

He knows where he is.

The 13-year-old Itachi accepted Danzo's order - to slaughter the entire clan in exchange for protecting his younger brother Sasuke!

The night of genocide.

No, how is that possible.

Itachi... like him, he is 12 years old now...

Besides, didn’t the Uchiha clan rebel against Konoha?

What kind of joke is this?!

It must be an illusion...

·

"Why don't you do it? Are you going to disobey the order of Danzo-sama?"

The root appeared behind Jing Ye, and the kunai in his hand reflected a cold light——

"Then let me clean you up."

The kunai scratched Jing Ye's neck.

And only then did Jing Ye know how to dodge - he swung his sword to block and knocked down the Anbu.

Suddenly, the surrounding space distorted, and a man wearing a tiger-patterned mask appeared in front of Jing Ye.

Obito?

Jing Ye was greatly shocked.

what on earth is it? !

"Hey——" Jing Ye rushed forward and grabbed Obito's collar, "You... this is your illusion, right?"

The hands he was holding on to Obito were shaking, and even he himself did not notice the deep pleading in his eyes when he looked at Obito.

Admit it now, admit that this is just an illusion, it’s all... it’s all fake!

If only, if only he could admit——

Obito looked down at Jing Ye with some pity in his eyes, and said,

"Are you still immersed in the beautiful world of my illusion and unwilling to wake up? What you remember is only the future of infinite Tsukuyomi! And now... is the real reality!"

"Uchiha Jingye, it's time to wake up!"

what?

Jing Ye let go of the hand that was holding Obito's collar and staggered back...

Are all my memories... due to an illusion? Is this the world of infinite moon reading?

when?

When did he fall into the illusion?

Jing Ye's spirit is on the verge of collapse——

“Only the Moon Eye Project can save this corrupt world!

And you have also seen, with the power of Infinite Tsukuyomi, the world where the Uchiha clan exists safely is so wonderful.

Only in the world of infinite moon reading can there be true peace——"

Do not……

Jing Ye didn't believe it, but...

Could it be that...his opening of the Mangekyō, the war between the Uchiha and the village, and the clan's rebellion...were all fake? !

He just imagined it...

when?

So when did this illusion begin?

Everything is fake. Everything in his memory developed according to the best result he expected... Everything is what he expected... But is it all fake?

And now, what he least wanted to see was the bloody scene before his eyes.

That thing - the thing he least wanted to happen...

Itachi, to protect his younger brother Sasuke, for the justice of the village, for... the peace of the village!

Wield the butcher knife at your people!

What about him?

Where was he placed?

And also with him...

No, I don't believe it!

A hint of fierceness suddenly appeared in his eyes, and Jing Ye suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Obito.

However, the kunai pierced through Obito's body, and Jingye fell to the ground in a mess.

"Feel the pain," Obito said meaningfully, and his figure gradually disappeared.

·

On the deserted street, Jing Ye was at a loss.

No…he had to stop Itachi!

It shouldn't be like this... How could it be like this...

Jing Ye walked into the clan territory like a walking corpse.

However, he saw with his own eyes——

The blood splattered on the ground and windows...

The lights went out, and in the silent darkness, death spread silently.

This is……

Seeing the familiar door lintel, Jing Ye walked in and saw the usually arrogant Uchiha Shota lying on the ground, his eyes wide open but without any luster.

He remembered that when this guy opened his eyes, he ran to show off in front of many tribesmen, but he just snorted coldly and turned his face away. Time and space were confused, and he seemed to be able to hear him showing off angrily at that time -

"Itachi is much stronger than you."

……

The blood spread to his feet. Jing Ye squatted down and closed Uchiha Xiangta's eyes that were wide open with unwillingness.

"I'm sorry..." He finally broke down and cried.

·

The killing continued, Jing Ye chased after them——

However, what he saw was Itachi swinging his sword at Fugaku and Mikoto—

Blood splashed on Jing Ye's face——

No...Itachi, stop!

This shouldn't be the case! How could this be the case?

At that moment, Jing Ye could hardly breathe. The smell of blood in the air was sickening.

Jing Ye collapsed, almost unable to stand, and leaned against the wall behind him,

He looked up to see Itachi walking up to him with a bloody knife.

"My stupid brother—"

The dagger pierced the body.

It hurts so much.

His consciousness began to blur, Jing Ye tried to raise his head to look at Itachi, but he only met Itachi's scarlet eyes.

Cold, resolute...

Why...why, Itachi.

Jing Ye reached out and held Itachi's hand, along with the exposed half of the tip of the blade that had stabbed into his body.

"Why...Itachi!"

Why...why are you doing this...

How could you... do this...

And now, even I...even I have become an obstacle to your maintenance of peace. Do I have to be eliminated?

Blood gushed out of his eyes. Jing Ye didn't know where he got so much strength to pull out the knife that was stabbed into his body.

Itachi pulled away.

The sticky blood dripped down the blade of the dagger in his hand, drop by drop, and fell to the ground.
