Chapter 50 Magical Arts: The Art of Shackles
Kakashi saw all of this.
He pushed up his headband and looked at Sasuke on the screen, who was intently asking his brother about genjutsu. A hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
He was actually very interested in the Sharingan.
After all, he had used the Sharingan that was transplanted into his left eye for so many years, but he could only use it superficially and could not be said to be proficient at all.
After the Third Shinobi World War, the Uchiha clan did not forcibly retrieve the Sharingan out of consideration for the Fourth Hokage and the hero Obito.
Kakashi was able to keep it all this time.
Because he is not a member of the Uchiha clan, Kakashi lacks a systematic inheritance of the Sharingan, and he doesn't even dare to use it on ordinary days.
It consumed far too much chakra.
This is an opportunity.
Kakashi crossed his arms and watched with great interest how Itachi instructed Sasuke.
He thought to himself that if he could learn some tricks to control the Sharingan and conserve chakra from Itachi's explanation, it would definitely be of great benefit to him.
on the screen.
On the training ground, Itachi Uchiha had already begun teaching his younger brother the secrets of genjutsu.
"Watch closely."
He slightly raised his chin and gave Sasuke a reminder.
Before he finished speaking, Itachi suddenly closed his eyes and then snapped them open again.
Three tomoe swirled rapidly in his scarlet pupils, and an invisible spiritual energy suddenly spread out from him.
Sasuke felt the scenery before him suddenly change, and when he looked down again, his shadow strangely rose slowly from the ground, turning into several black chains that tightly bound his limbs!
Immediately afterwards, several huge, pitch-black pillars suddenly appeared behind him, piercing through his arms and legs like instruments of torture, pinning him firmly to the spot!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before Sasuke could even react, he found himself unable to move.
The sudden strange occurrence sent a chill down his spine, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
Even though he knew it was mostly an illusion, he still felt an overwhelming sense of fear.
The feeling of being completely unable to move my body was just too intense!
Sasuke struggled desperately to break free, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea; it was completely futile.
Sasuke's expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened.
He tried to remind himself that this was just an illusion cast by Itachi, but the terrifying chains and huge black pillars were so real that he was completely shocked and couldn't pull himself out of it for a while.
Just as Sasuke was filled with fear, a warm and strong hand suddenly pressed against his forehead.
"untie!"
A deep, guttural voice rang in my ears.
The next second, Sasuke shuddered violently, feeling the chains and giant chains binding him suddenly shatter and vanish like bubbles, and his stiff limbs regained their freedom.
His back was already covered in cold sweat, and his chest was heaving violently.
Sasuke gasped for breath, only then realizing that for a brief moment, his mind had been completely controlled by Itachi.
"This is the Sharingan's genjutsu—the Illusionary Genjutsu: Shackles Technique."
Itachi smiled and explained, patting Sasuke's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't be nervous, I was just letting you experience the effect, I didn't really hurt you."
Sasuke nodded, blushing slightly.
He knew he had just lost his composure and made a fool of himself, and he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.
"The Shackles Technique is a type of eye technique that binds the opponent in an illusion," Itachi continued gently. "What I just used was only the mildest form. If used on an enemy, the shackles in the illusion would pierce through their limbs, causing excruciating pain and completely incapacitating them."
He paused, then solemnly reminded, "However, genjutsu is certainly very effective against ordinary people or ninjas far inferior to yourself. But against opponents like you and me who possess the Sharingan, or those with extremely strong mental power, genjutsu may not be effective in one strike. In fact, once the opponent sees through it, you might even be immediately countered."
Sasuke nodded solemnly, remembering Itachi's teachings word for word.
"Next, I'll teach you the secrets of this genjutsu." Itachi smiled with satisfaction seeing his younger brother's focused expression. "The Sharingan's genjutsu mainly relies on the use of ocular power. Simply put, it involves using chakra to directly affect the opponent's brain through vision, creating various illusions. But to achieve this, the nature, distribution, and method of chakra are all very important..."
Uchiha Itachi spoke gently and explained things in detail with patience.
He patiently explained the principles and activation methods of the shackle technique one by one.
He taught me everything from how to precisely control the flow of chakra in my pupils to how to seize an enemy's weakness and instantly apply mental suggestions.
After explaining, Itachi even let Sasuke try it out on the spot.
Following Itachi's instructions, Sasuke focused intently on activating his eye power.
However, he soon failed.
Seeing his younger brother's disappointment, Itachi smiled and comforted him, "Don't rush, take it one step at a time."
Sasuke nodded, listening even more attentively to Itachi's explanation.
At this moment, Itachi's voice and attitude were still as gentle and delicate as he remembered.
Such a scene...
It's exactly the same as before!
Sasuke couldn't help but think to himself.
If all of this were real, how wonderful that would be...
Sasuke felt a slight tingling in his nose, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
He blinked, trying not to let the tears fall.
This is the Nissan I remember...
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
But...why?
Sasuke lowered his head, his chest heaving violently with suppressed emotions.
Countless fragments of the past flashed through his mind.
In his memory, before that horrific tragedy, Itachi was always a gentle and considerate older brother.
Although Itachi became increasingly busy in the period leading up to the tragedy and often had no time to spend with him, Itachi's attitude towards him remained as caring as ever, without showing any sign of anything amiss.
He clearly remembered that when he left for the ninja academy that morning, Itachi was still standing at the door, smiling and patting his head, gently saying goodbye: "Sasuke, see you tonight."
But when Sasuke got home from school, a nightmare awaited him.
The street where the family lived was unusually quiet, with a faint smell of blood in the air.
Sasuke, feeling a sense of foreboding, rushed home, only to find the usually bustling Uchiha clan grounds now littered with the corpses of his clansmen!
Bright red blood stained the ground; once-familiar relatives and friends were now all dead on the spot...
This scene nearly broke young Sasuke.
But intense fear and unease drove him to stumble and stagger toward his own house.
"Dad! Mom—!"
Sasuke ran wildly into his own yard, shouting loudly.
However, what came into view were the cold bodies of his parents lying silently on the ground, and the tall figure standing between the two corpses.
At that moment, Itachi Uchiha slowly turned around.
His unfamiliar, cold red eyes held no warmth as he indifferently looked down at his bewildered younger brother.
The next moment, his voice sounded as malevolent as if it came from the depths of hell.
"Foolish brother... if you want to kill me, then hate me to your heart's content! Hate me! And then... live a wretched life in ugliness!"
From that day on, those words were deeply etched into Sasuke's mind, becoming a nightmare he could never escape.
Countless nights, he would wake up from nightmares, his mind filled with this question, yet he never received a single answer.
Sasuke grew increasingly distressed as he thought about it, clenching his fists tightly.
His chest heaved violently, his breathing became rapid and erratic, and countless questions and emotions almost overwhelmed him like a flood.
His father's loving smile and his mother's gentle face flashed through his mind in an instant, then overlapped with his brother's face in front of him.
The grief and anger that had been building up in Sasuke's heart for years suddenly erupted, and he could no longer suppress it; hot tears blurred his vision.
He wanted to ask Itachi countless times why he did that!
Today, Sasuke took advantage of the dream to directly confront Itachi: "I recently had a dream where you... you killed Father, you killed everyone in the Uchiha clan! Why?! Why would you do such a thing?!"
Upon hearing his younger brother's unexpected words, Itachi's smile instantly froze.
His pupils contracted sharply, his face turned deathly pale, and an expression of disbelief crossed his eyes: "What—"
He was stunned and speechless for a moment, not expecting Sasuke to say such terrible things. He couldn't understand why his brother would have such a dream.
"Answer me! Why?!?"
