The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 43 Enjoy your hellish life!

Uchiha Itachi walked through the clan's territory. The bright moon in the sky was so pale that the road surface was almost indistinguishable.

The streetlights on both sides of the street also seemed to be malfunctioning, flickering and changing from bright to dim, their brightness unpredictable.

The flickering light spots cast on the wall transformed into countless struggling hand shadows.

Only at the end of the street, in front of the house, a white lantern emitted a warm red glow, guiding Itachi Uchiha in his direction.

He returned home with light steps and a joyful heart, pushed open the door, and entered the house.

"I'm back!"

"Oh, Onii-chan is back..." Sasuke's voice was a little muffled as he stood in front of the entrance with his head down.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Itachi chuckled as he changed his shoes, walked over, picked up his younger brother, and asked with a smile, "Did you get scolded by Mom for being naughty again?"

Sasuke lowered his head, buried his face in Itachi's chest, and mumbled:

"Onii-chan, where's my head?"

"What?" Itachi was shocked, as if struck by lightning, and froze.

Sasuke slowly raised his head. Under the dim light, Itachi could clearly see that Sasuke was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his facial features had been gouged out, leaving only black holes on his face with a bloody mouth that was completely bare, without a single tooth.

"Hey, Onii-chan, where's my head?"

"My head hurts so much!"

"Give me back my head!"

"My tooth hurts so much!"

Why can't I see you!

"No..." Itachi cried out in pain, suddenly sitting up in bed, panting heavily.

On the table in front of his bed, Sasuke's head lay there upright, his eyes staring at him with a lifeless, ghostly gaze.

"Sasuke..." Itachi, with trembling hands, lifted Sasuke's head and held him tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face. His voice was broken and almost inaudible, "I'm sorry..."

-----------------

In another room not far from him, Obito was also "enjoying" his "sweet dream".

He stood there in a vast, empty field, looking around blankly, as if everything was so familiar, yet so strange.

But before he could think it through, he heard a familiar voice calling him from afar.

"Hey, Obito, I'm here..."

When he looked up, he saw Lin skipping and jumping in the distance, laughing and waving her arms at him.

"Rin..." Obito felt a surge of joy and was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He immediately forgot all his doubts and hurriedly ran towards Rin.

However, he had only run a few steps when a figure flashed before his eyes, and a familiar white-haired figure overtook him and arrived at Lin's side first.

"Raikiri!"

The familiar ball of lightning, right before Obito's eyes, hissed and entered Rin's body, penetrating her from front to back.

"No!" Obito screamed and rushed forward, punching Kakashi to the ground and pulling Rin into his arms.

Rin coughed up blood, her eyes filled with despair. "Obito, why didn't you save me?"

Why didn't you save me?

Why didn't you save me?

"No, I was trying to save you, but I was too late..." Obito cried and explained, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Obito, you've really disappointed me..."

"You really disappoint me..."

"No!" Obito screamed, waking up from his nightmare. Looking at the empty room, his mind went blank, and he was in a daze for a long time before he could come back to his senses.

After a long while, he buried his head in his arms and murmured:

"Soon...very soon..."

"Lin, don't worry, I will create a world where there are only victors, only peace, only love, and no war."

"Then, we'll be able to be together forever."

-----------------

While Itachi and Obito were plagued by nightmares, An Uchiha, far away, gently wiped away the blood and tears under his right eye, felt the unfamiliar eye power, grinned, and smiled silently.

Alright, Itachi, Obito, your hellish life has begun, so enjoy it!

Starting today, such nightmares will haunt you and gradually escalate, constantly challenging your psychological resilience.

It's a fight to the death!

With such fervent emotions, Uchiha Anhuai, carrying his sincere "blessings" for the two, drifted into a deep sleep.

The next day, Uchiha An got up as usual, did some light exercise, and then went to treat Nagato.

As you climb to the top of the tower, you encounter Sasori of the Red Sand and Itachi Uchiha walking towards you from the opposite direction.

Uchiha Itachi's face was pale, he looked sickly, and his eyes were dark-circled, as if he hadn't slept well. This made Uchiha An very happy, and he couldn't help but want to say a few more sarcastic things to him.

But ultimately, fearing that he would discover something and ruin her pupil technique, she kept quiet.

"Hmph!" The two met on the left side of the road, disliked each other, rolled their eyes at each other, and neither was willing to give way, so they stood in the middle of the road, glaring at each other.

Scorpion didn't seem to care about An. Hidden inside the ugly puppet, he nodded to An without saying a word, but took a step back to make way for her.

An snorted coldly, said nothing, and walked away, brushing past Itachi.

Itachi stared intently at An until his figure disappeared into the stairwell before slowly withdrawing his gaze, lowering his head, and following Sasori.

An arrived at the top of the tower, knocked on the door and entered the room, and began to treat Nagato as usual.

"Itachi and Sasori have already gone to recruit Kakuzu," Nagato said. "Although I no longer need more power after my recovery, his savings are still something we desperately need."

"This task was originally intended for you, since you provided the intelligence and would certainly know his weaknesses best. But since you're going to treat me now, I've handed the task over to the two of them."

"I originally wanted you to provide them with some information about Kakuzu, but Itachi refused."

"The hatred between you is irreconcilable, but I will not allow any infighting to occur until the organization's plans are completed."

"Mmm-hmm!" An didn't mention secretly plotting against Itachi and Obito at all. He just nodded seriously, raised his hand high, and acted like a good boy. "Don't worry, leader. What I hate most is Konoha Village. What I want to see most is its destruction. I won't interfere with the organization's plans!"

"That's for the best." Nagato nodded in satisfaction. "As long as I can gather the Ten-Tails, I can use its immense power to suppress all the ninja villages and make them personally experience the pain of war."

"By then, the ninjas of the great nations, having experienced the pain, will no longer dare to wage war lightly!"

"Under the light of the gods, there will be no more war and death in the world."

"Ah, right, right, right!" Uchiha An Yuqian channeled his inner shrewd strategist, enthusiastically chiming in, "The leader is absolutely right!"

"Just like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, what made them able to end the chaos and establish the ninja village system in various countries?"

"Isn't it because they're too strong, and others can't beat them?"

"They originally had the hope of bringing lasting peace to the ninja world, but their stupidest move was not to unite all the ninja villages into one unified nation, but instead to split them into various countries."

"The countries already had grudges against each other, and with their deaths, war immediately broke out again."

"Moreover, they even separated all nine tailed beasts, preventing any country from gaining overwhelming power, which ultimately led to endless fighting with no one willing to submit to the others."

"Our leader must learn from their mistakes this time!"

"Those nine tailed beasts must be under our unified management from now on!"

This was the first time in all his years that Nagato had seen someone so acknowledging his ideals, and speaking with such reason and evidence. He immediately felt even more convinced of Uchiha An's worthiness as a comrade, and nodded in satisfaction.

"You make a lot of sense."

"If we unite all the countries together and unify them, then everyone will be one of us, and naturally there will be no war."

"I will carefully consider your suggestion."

"However, I have a task for you right now."

"Some annoying bugs have appeared outside. They're probably spies sent by Konoha. You know the Konoha ninja best, so go and get rid of them!"
