Intent

Faced with Itachi's threat, Fengtian's lips curled up slightly. He didn't turn around, but said with a regretful tone:

"Uchiha Itachi..."

"It's not a good thing to trust your eyes too much..."

"What?"

Before Uchiha Itachi could even cry out in surprise, Fengtian's Mangekyou Sharingan activated again with the "Reversal of Cause and Effect" technique.

His figure slowly disappeared into the world, and the next moment, with a hint of coldness, he held a kunai to Itachi's neck.

"Hmph, you think you've won?"

Faced with the threat, Itachi Uchiha remained completely unconcerned, as if he were facing a divine retribution. He spoke tauntingly, showing no regard for his opponent.

"You don't actually think your Shadow Clone will be effective, do you...?"

After saying this, Fengtian gently ran his kunai across Uchiha Itachi's skin.

The next moment, a touch of crimson quietly bloomed. On the side of Itachi Uchiha's neck, a tiny wound slowly oozed blood. The blood, like dew in the morning light, slid slowly down his fair skin and dripped to the ground, making a soft and crisp sound.

"How is that possible?!"

A look of disbelief flashed in Itachi Uchiha's eyes as he stared incredulously at the flowing blood, a sense of unprecedented horror rising within him.

This body is clearly a shadow clone that he carefully controlled. Logically speaking, even if it is injured, there should be no real blood flowing out.

However, what I saw before me was so real, so shocking.

What's even more terrifying is that when his gaze passed over the shadow clone and landed on the main body hidden in the shadows not far away, he saw that the same wound had miraculously appeared on the neck of his own body, and blood was flowing silently as well.

"I hold the power of cause and effect in this world. If I so choose, you are already a corpse..."

The moment Fengtian finished speaking, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi quickly distanced themselves from Fengtian. Their three-tomoe Sharingan were activated to the maximum, and their foreheads were covered with sweat dripping from their fear of this strange ability.

"Itachi, this enemy is no ordinary person..."

"Brother Zhishui, you go first, I'll hold this guy off!"

Fengtian overheard their hushed conversation and, upon hearing it, a look of helplessness appeared on his face for the first time.

He spread his hands, sighed softly, and slowly walked towards the two of them.

"I say, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, I have no hostility towards either of you..."

"Now, can you please listen to me properly!"

The moment the words fell, Fengtian's figure appeared like a ghost in front of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

Seeing that Fengtian had not made any further moves, the two temporarily believed that he did not seem to have any hostility, and then put away their short swords and kunai.

Seeing this, Fengtian finally felt relieved, and thought to himself:

"That was close! Activating [Reversing Cause and Effect] several times in a row is almost too much for even someone like me with enhanced eye power!"

"Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi are smart and know how to assess the situation. Otherwise, if the fight had continued, I would have had to rely on the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape..."

Thinking of this, a bead of sweat appeared on Fengtian's forehead, but this did not attract the attention of the two men.

"Shisui Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, I need your power to help me achieve a grand plan!"

Fengtian then revealed the entire "Eye of the Moon" plan to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi without any concealment.

After hearing Fengtian's explanation, the air seemed to freeze instantly, becoming as silent as death.

Uchiha Shisui rested his chin on his hand, pondering the veracity of the matter. As time passed, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Uchiha Itachi stared intently at Fengtian, trying to determine the truth of Fengtian's words by observing his subtle movements.

Finally, Uchiha Shisui spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere:

"I think I understand what you mean. You want to collect the tailed beasts, become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and then release Tsukuyomi towards the moon, using the moon's reflection to achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi, right..."

"That's right, that's exactly it..."

"You said before that it concerns the future of our Uchiha clan, so what does this whole matter have to do with my Uchiha clan?"

Shisui's eyes had somehow switched to the Mangekyou Sharingan, and his sharp gaze was filled with endless pressure. Even Fengtian, who also possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, was no match for him before it was fully unsealed!

Uchiha Shisui truly lived up to his reputation as a genius among geniuses of the Uchiha clan. At the young age of 13, he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and mastered the world's strongest genjutsu—Kotoamatsukami!

"【Kotoamatsukami】? To be honest, I'm quite curious about which has a stronger set of rules, your illusion or my 【Reversal of Cause and Effect】, but unfortunately, now is not the time..."

Fengtian was not afraid of Shisui's "Kotodama"; his words were full of regret.

"In the not-too-distant future, the higher-ups of Konoha will take action against the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan has already prepared for a coup..."

"However, I can tell you very clearly."

"Even your [Kotoamatsukami] cannot change reality in the slightest..."

Upon hearing this, Shisui's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Are you saying that the fate of our Uchiha clan is already sealed and cannot be changed?"

There was a hint of resentment in Zhi Shui's voice.

"Fate is not absolute, but at this juncture, the actions of the Uchiha clan are indeed unlikely to reverse the overall situation."

Fengtian spoke slowly, his gaze deep, as if he could see into the future.

"However, I have my reasons for telling you about this plan."

Itachi Uchiha finally spoke, his voice deep and powerful:

"What are your intentions? Do you want us to become your pawns, to help you achieve this 'Eye of the Moon' plan?"

"As expected of Itachi-san, you're truly intelligent, but what you said isn't entirely accurate..."

Fengtian slowly rose to his feet, patted Shisui and Itachi on the shoulders, and said in a low voice:

"This world is ultimately filled with filth and war; wars between great powers have never ceased. What I want now is to create a perfect world!"

Even if this world is full of hypocrisy, it's still much better than this disgusting real world...

"Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, in order to create a world without war and filth, are you willing to join this sacred plan...?"

"I can assure you that those trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi will be permanently immersed in a false and beautiful world, free from any pain or suffering..."
