auditorium.
Naruto and Sakura stared intently at the image before them, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
The two looked at each other and saw deep astonishment and confusion in each other's eyes.

Naruto and Sakura quickly recalled the scene when Team 7 was formed not long ago.
The three of them were introducing themselves on the rooftop when Sasuke uttered a sentence with a cold face that they still remember to this day.
At that moment, thinking of the mysterious man in the scene before them, both of them felt a chill run down their spines.
Could the "person" Sasuke was referring to be his own brother?
Sakura covered her mouth, turned to Kakashi Hatake in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "Kakashi-sensei, the one who killed the Uchiha clan was...?"
Kakashi remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, then sighed softly.
Seeing the shocked expressions on Sakura and Naruto's faces, he knew that things had come to this point and there was no point in hiding it anymore.
Thinking of this, he slowly nodded and said in a low voice, "That's right. I originally hoped that you wouldn't have to know these things for the time being... but since now... anyway, the truth is. Sasuke's enemy is his own brother."
"What?!" Naruto's eyes widened, his mind going completely blank.
Sakura's face also turned pale, and she covered her mouth in disbelief: "My...my brother? How could this be..."
Kakashi solemnly explained, "Sasuke's older brother, Itachi Uchiha, slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan in that tragedy five years ago and then defected from the village. Sasuke... was the sole survivor of that incident."
"It's actually true..."
Sakura felt a chill run down her spine, and an indescribable sense of sympathy and shock welled up in her heart, making her gaze towards Sasuke complicated.
Naruto clenched his fists and lowered his head sadly: "Damn it... Sasuke actually went through something like this..."
The two were filled with shock and doubt, and for a moment they were speechless, feeling a soreness and tightness in their chests.
After a long pause, Naruto suddenly raised his head and asked urgently, "Why? Why would his brother do this? How could he harm his own family?!"

Faced with two young faces filled with questions, Kakashi slowly shook his head, offering no direct answer.
"...I don't know either."
"The truth of this matter is probably not that simple. Although I have some guesses, making wild guesses without evidence will only bring more trouble."
on the screen.
Uchiha Itachi was taken aback by Sasuke's question, seemingly quite surprised.
He frowned slightly, gazing at his younger brother's serious face. Only after confirming Sasuke wasn't joking did he soften his tone and reply earnestly, "Sasuke, you, Dad, and Mom are the most important people to me. How could I possibly lay a hand on you? No matter what happens, I will never hurt you."
Sasuke stared in Itachi's sincere and gentle gaze, momentarily stunned.
In the dream, Itachi's expression was open and honest, showing no sign of lying, and his familiar doting tone gave Sasuke a jolt.
In an instant, he felt his mind was in complete chaos.
The brother in front of me is completely different from the brother who brutally slaughtered his family on a bloody night five years ago.
Sasuke's breathing became heavy.
In his memory, Itachi's cold, blood-stained face and the image of the gentle and caring older brother in front of him kept overlapping and switching in his mind, making him feel somewhat dazed.
One was a gentle older brother who cherished him like a treasure, and the other was a cold-blooded and ruthless demon. He simply couldn't associate these two images with the same person.
"Why... why did this happen..." Sasuke clenched his fists.
Just as Sasuke was in a state of extreme confusion and bewilderment, a conversation he had overheard earlier suddenly flashed through his mind.
Information that Itachi and Shisui discussed in private mentioned a strange white monster that is said to be able to perfectly disguise itself as anyone.
"A monster disguised as someone else?" Sasuke's pupils constricted sharply, and he murmured in disbelief, "Could it be—"
In a flash, a bold idea struck Sasuke like a thunderbolt.
His breathing suddenly stopped, and his heart began to pound wildly.
Could it be... that the "Uchiha Itachi" who appeared in the clan that night was a fake?!

He's just a little bit away from upgrading his Dream Fulfillment System to level 3.
He couldn't help but start looking forward to the rewards after the upgrade.
Ideally, we should let him open another instance.
But please, no more shows like "Let's & Go!!".

The next morning, Kakashi sat groggily on the edge of the bed, pondering the events of his dream the previous night, which had kept him awake almost all night.
The sudden knocking on the door brought him back to reality.
"Who's up so early...?"
Kakashi, with only his right eye showing, squinted and looked completely bewildered as he opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was unexpected.
"Sasuke?" Kakashi paused slightly, looking at the black-haired boy who had come to visit early in the morning with some surprise. "What brings you here so early?"
Sasuke's expression turned solemn. He took a deep breath and got straight to the point: "Kakashi-sensei, I know you were once the captain of the Anbu, and... Itachi was working under you from the very beginning."
He paused, his dark eyes fixed on Kakashi. "I want to ask you something. What was Itachi doing in the two days before and after the tragedy five years ago? Also, what kind of person was he in the Anbu?"
Upon hearing Sasuke's sudden question, Kakashi couldn't help but take a closer look at the boy in front of him.
Sasuke's face was filled with seriousness and tension, and his fists were unconsciously clenched. Clearly, these two questions were very important to him.
Over the past two days, Kakashi has seen a lot of information he had never known before through that bizarre dream world.
Both Sasuke and Naruto missed out on too many precious things in their lives.
Sasuke's visit at this moment is most likely because the dream he had last night made the child realize something and waver.
Kakashi sighed inwardly. He didn't want Sasuke to continue being too obsessed with hatred and be consumed by the shadow of revenge for the rest of his life.
After a moment's hesitation, Kakashi said softly, "I don't know much about Itachi..."
"Shortly before the tragedy, Itachi received orders to be transferred from my squad. So I don't know exactly what happened that day."
"Is that so..."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke's brows furrowed slightly, his previously expectant eyes dimmed, and a trace of sadness crossed his handsome face.
Seeing this, Kakashi added, "However—there's one thing I'm certain of. When Itachi was on a mission in the Anbu, he was indeed a calm, ruthless ninja who would stop at nothing to complete orders. But…"
His tone shifted, and he looked at Sasuke solemnly, "Itachi is definitely not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. There may be more to the story than meets the eye back then."
Sasuke suddenly raised his head, his dark eyes flashing with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Kakashi's words undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions.
Sasuke's breathing became rapid.
"That's right... that must be it!"
Sasuke almost shouted it out in his mind.
The "Itachi" that night could never have been his brother.
The real Nissan.
How could he possibly kill his parents and clansmen?
How could they possibly sneak into their clansmen's homes at night and brutally kill everyone, regardless of age or gender?
How could that be? I used my Sharingan to record the whole process and forced myself to watch it several times!
Recalling what happened that day, Sasuke's teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound!
That's right!
How could someone capable of such a heinous act be his brother? It could only be someone disguised as Itachi!
Thinking of this, Sasuke felt his blood boiling.
His whole body trembled slightly with anger, his knuckles clenched so tightly they turned white, and his eyes flashed with unprecedented hatred and murderous intent.
"That beast..."
"Not only did he murder my parents and clansmen, but he also dared to impersonate Nisan and sow discord among us brothers... Such a person is absolutely unforgivable!"
