Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Most striking were his serpentine, golden vertical pupils, which gleamed with a cold, cruel, and greedy light, and a chilling, eerie smile played on his lips.

He walked step by step toward the tree that was tightly coiled by the giant snake, his smugness growing ever stronger.

Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha remained calmly standing to the side, even brazenly sizing up the uninvited guest with a serene and unwavering gaze, as if everything happening before him was none of his concern—or rather, as if everything was entirely under his control.

Although Sasuke is still young, he is a genius in his clan and his mind works very fast.

Seeing this comical yet bizarre scene before him, and recalling the giant snakes' inexplicable "mistake" just now, as well as Itachi's calm and composed demeanor, he quickly figured out what had happened.

It's obvious that this attacker who suddenly appeared was probably already under Nissan's illusion without realizing it!

He was smugly pleased with himself, thinking he had successfully tied Nissan up with a snake.

Ridiculous!

It's so stupid!

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

Having figured this out, Sasuke sighed inwardly.

Nissan's strength is just too strong!

The illusion was cast so silently and without warning that the guy fell for it without even realizing it.

Is this the true power of the Uchiha clan?

Is this the true terror of the Sharingan?

in the audience.

"As expected... it's Orochimaru!"

Kakashi took a deep breath.

This appearance, coupled with that unique and nauseating style of ninjutsu, immediately confirmed the identity of the newcomer—Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha and an S-rank rogue ninja!

Chapter 77 Orochimaru VS Itachi

However, Naruto, Sakura, and Ino clearly didn't understand what had happened.

Their understanding of illusion techniques was still limited to the rudimentary theories taught at the ninja academy, and they had never even heard of such a high-level illusion technique duel.

Naruto pointed at the screen with a puzzled look and asked, "Kakashi-sensei, why is that guy in the weird clothes talking to a big tree?"

Kakashi shook his head and patiently explained to his disciples, "He has already fallen under Itachi's genjutsu."

"Illusion?" the children asked in unison, their faces full of curiosity.

"Hmm." Kakashi took the opportunity to teach Naruto and Sakura, "Genjutsu is a ninjutsu that can directly affect the enemy's mind. By disrupting their chakra flow, it controls their five senses, causing them to fall into various illusions. Powerful genjutsu can even cause the victim to experience unbearable torment within the illusion, ultimately leading to a mental breakdown. Orochimaru's reaction now clearly shows that he mistook that tree for Itachi. Everything he sees, hears, and feels has been distorted by Itachi's genjutsu."

"Oh—I see!" After listening to Kakashi's simple explanation, the three little ones suddenly understood, and their faces showed expressions of surprise and admiration.

"Tch, this guy is too weak!" Naruto immediately curled his lip in disdain, put his hands behind his head, and mocked in a tone of someone who had been there before, "He can't even see through genjutsu. I think he's not even as good as Zabuza, that rogue ninja from Kirigakure! Kakashi-sensei, didn't you say before that Zabuza almost broke free from Sasuke's genjutsu with his own willpower?"

He recalled the scene back in the Land of Waves when Sasuke used his Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on Zabuza.

Kakashi shook his head upon hearing this, and corrected him with a serious expression: "No, Naruto, you're wrong. This guy... Orochimaru, he's much stronger than Zabuza, you could even say they're on completely different levels."

At this point, Kakashi's brows furrowed slightly again, and a hint of doubt flashed in the one eye that was exposed.

It doesn't make sense...

While Itachi's strength was undeniable, he shouldn't have been able to so easily overwhelm Orochimaru, right?

Orochimaru, as one of the legendary Sannin, is a top-tier figure in the ninja world in terms of strength, experience, and intellect. His power is so terrifying that even the Third Hokage found him troublesome.

And Itachi... how old is he now?

Even if he is an unparalleled genius of the Uchiha clan, it is impossible for him to have grown to this level in such a short period of time.

There must be some reason he doesn't know about.

on the screen.

Orochimaru, completely unaware that he had fallen into Itachi's carefully crafted illusion, continued to utter his chillingly twisted pronouncements to the giant tree, which was tightly coiled around by the serpent and nearly snapped in two: "Hehehe... your body... your eyes... as long as I obtain them, I can achieve eternal, perfect life! I can perceive all the truths of this world!"

His voice was hoarse and shrill, filled with a morbid longing, and his golden snake eyes flashed with a mad light.

Sasuke, standing to the side, rolled his eyes and chuckled disdainfully to himself.

This guy is so incompetent, he's pitifully naive.

I still haven't realized I've been infected; I'm still babbling nonsense at a broken tree.

What a disgrace!

Uchiha Itachi, on the other hand, maintained his indifferent expression, with a hint of disgust and impatience in his eyes.

He had always despised Orochimaru, a madman who was obsessed with forbidden techniques and distorted the meaning of life.

He was completely unmoved by Orochimaru's ravings, merely glancing at Orochimaru with the same look one would give an ant, before coldly uttering a few words.

"A pointless delusion."

The moment Itachi finished speaking, Orochimaru's golden snake eyes, which were flashing with greed, suddenly narrowed, and the smug look on his face froze instantly!

He stared in shock and disbelief at the massive tree in front of him, which was tightly bound by the giant snake, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over his head. His expression instantly became blank.

"I...I actually fell under a genjutsu?!" Orochimaru struggled to twist his snake-like, supple neck, looking at the composed and indifferent Uchiha Itachi with an expression of utter disbelief.

"My body... I can't move! What... what level of illusion is this?!"

He could clearly feel that his body was bound by countless invisible shackles, making it extremely difficult to even move a finger.

However, the next second, the shock and fear on Orochimaru's face were replaced by a more intense and insane greed.

He stared intently into Itachi's unusual eyes.

At this moment, in Itachi's eyes, the originally dark and deep pupils had developed strange patterns around them, resembling three rapidly spinning black windmill blades. These patterns were completely different from the three-tomoe form of the ordinary Sharingan, exuding a chilling and eerie beauty and unfathomable terrifying eye power.

"This...this is...the legendary...Mangekyou Sharingan?!"

Orochimaru's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his eyes flashed with an almost crazed light, as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world.

"What powerful eye energy! What perfect eyes! Is this the true power of the Uchiha clan?!"

He extended his long, snake-like tongue and greedily licked his pale, chapped lips. His voice was hoarse and excited, filled with undisguised possessiveness: "Absolutely... amazing! Absolutely perfect! I must have these eyes!"

"Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Sasuke's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of curiosity and longing flashed in his eyes. "What is that? It sounds... like it's even more powerful than a regular three-tomoe Sharingan?"

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

Since Itachi was facing away from Sasuke and quite far away, Sasuke didn't notice what his brother's eyes looked like. However, this didn't stop him from developing a strong interest in and curiosity about this new term.

He had a vague feeling that the Mangekyou Sharingan might be the key to unlocking the mystery of the Uchiha clan's power.

Just then, Orochimaru, who was trapped in the genjutsu and whose body was bound, let out a roar of unwillingness. His golden snake eyes burst forth with astonishing willpower as he twisted his hands with difficulty, seemingly trying to break free from Itachi's genjutsu control and withstand the mental restraint that was like Mount Tai pressing down on him. He attempted to form hand seals and release ninjutsu to counterattack.

Seeing this, Itachi's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise.

Orochimaru, as expected of one of the Legendary Sannin, is indeed not so easy to deal with.

However, despite his surprise, Itachi did not hesitate or waver in his actions.

He would show absolutely no mercy or leniency towards an extremely dangerous enemy like Orochimaru.

A flash of cold light appeared in Itachi's right hand, and an extremely sharp, specially made kunai silently appeared in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the kunai, gleaming with a chilling light, traced a cold arc, like the judgment of death, and precisely sliced ​​through Orochimaru's right hand, which was attempting to form hand seals!

"Pfft!"

A soft yet clear sound of flesh tearing rang out, accompanied by a spray of warm blood that splattered out, drawing a gruesome arc in the sunlight of the forest.

Orochimaru's entire right hand was cleanly severed by Itachi, falling onto the dew-covered grass, blood gushing from the cut!

"All your struggles are futile and have no effect in the face of my eyes."

Itachi's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Nissan..."

Sasuke watched from the sidelines, equally envious.

Is this the true power of the Sharingan?

too strong!

Compared to Nisan's overwhelming strength, my development and application of the Sharingan are far from sufficient!

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +300!]

The excruciating pain from his severed wrist allowed Orochimaru to temporarily break free from the terrifying genjutsu control of Tsukuyomi.

He clutched his severed right wrist, which was bleeding profusely. His body trembled violently from the excruciating pain, and his face turned ashen, deathly pale. His golden snake eyes were filled with madness and incredulous horror.

"What a boastful tone, Uchiha Itachi!"

……

auditorium.

"Wow! Is this Sasuke's older brother? He's so handsome! Absolutely stunning!!"

Ino watched Itachi's decisive slashes on the screen, and his cold, indifferent, and all-controlling expression in the face of a powerful enemy. She couldn't help but let out an excited scream, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"That's right! That's amazing!" Sakura nodded frantically in agreement. "I never expected Sasuke's brother to be so calm and decisive during battle. He's so reliable."

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Yamanaka Ino have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

"Tch, those two brothers are both show-offs." Naruto muttered under his breath, pursing his lips.

[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

Kakashi stared at Itachi's Sharingan in the image, thoughtfully touching his chin with a deep gaze.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan...?"
