The sudden disappearance of Sasuke shocked several people again. Especially Itachi, his pupils constricted, his whole body tensed, and a murderous aura exploded.
Before his eyes, Sasuke was attacked and he didn't even have time to react; Sasuke suddenly vanished!
He had absolutely no idea how the opponent did it, without the slightest sign or chakra aura!
Itachi even suspected, was this genjutsu?!
But as a genjutsu expert, he knew for sure he wasn't under genjutsu...
However, despite his extreme anxiety, Itachi didn't lose his mind.
Although he was very worried about Sasuke's safety, he understood even more that he couldn't explode now, violence wouldn't solve the problem.
After all, even without this mysterious Tenshou Sennin, Nagato himself was difficult enough to defeat.
To save Sasuke, he had to calm down and negotiate properly!
"Forgive me! Sasuke is still young; if he offended you in any way, please forgive him! And may I ask, where was Sasuke taken?"
Itachi apologized and asked as politely as possible.
"Calm down, he won't die. And you can't answer the previous question either; you'd better find the answer yourself. Besides, in this condition, you can't die."
"Huh?"
Before Itachi could react.
Lux used world teleportation again, moving Itachi out of this world, directly to Parallel World 4 in front of Fugaku.
Let Fugaku 'cherish' this future 'filial son'.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The world flickered, and the revived Itachi felt Sasuke's experience.
He was suddenly transferred to Parallel World 4 and directly appeared in his old residence, the Uchiha clan.
"W-Where is this?"
"My home?"
"Genjutsu? No, impossible, these are real buildings..."
"Does that mean I was transferred back to Konoha?"
"Some kind of space-time ninjutsu?"
"No, Konoha is destroyed! This isn't Konoha..."
"Then where?"
Itachi looked around at the familiar surroundings, full of confusion, unable to analyze the truth. Who would immediately think this was time travel?
Soon after, familiar voices and chakra auras from inside the house caught Itachi's attention, leading him through the courtyard and opening the living room door.
Inside the room.
The head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku, held a whip, staring seriously at someone.
While the young six-year-old Itachi knelt on the tatami, quickly copying a new version of the Uchiha clan rules.
Ten times a day, it took at least three hours!
Ever since Fugaku returned from Parallel World 3 and learned that the Uchiha clan's killer was his own son, this had become young Itachi's daily task.
If there was even a slight mistake, he would receive heavy 'fatherly love' from Fugaku, under the pretense of helping the wayward young Itachi return to the right path!
Having no choice, young Itachi could only cry and copy diligently.
Secretly atoning for his future self's sins, even though he hadn't committed them yet!
Although young Itachi knew his father loved him and didn't really want to kill him, the daily 'meal with the whip' was truly unbearable!
"Father, today's copies are finished!"
Young Itachi obediently handed over today's 'ticket of redemption';
Fugaku carefully checked, ensuring there were no mistakes, and only then softened slightly.
There was no way around it; for the sake of the entire Uchiha clan's future, he had to educate Itachi more seriously, so he wouldn't stray onto the wrong path again!
"Not bad, that's enough for today. Go practice ninjutsu."
"Yes, sir!"
Young Itachi excitedly left; ninjutsu practice was much safer than being near his father!
Fortunately, after endless efforts and whining, his father's hatred for him had begun to decrease. If things continued like this, he would soon be able to quell his father's anger.
The situation was getting better; endure a little longer!
Young Itachi happily headed for the door, ready to go out.
The door suddenly opened.
A figure that even appeared in his nightmares stood outside the door.
O(ﾟДﾟ)っ!!!
"Y-You... You..."
The shocked young Itachi instantly froze, unable to imagine how this wretched version of himself could be here?!
But there was no time to think.
'Not good, Father mustn't see this wretched version of himself again!'
Unfortunately, it was too late.
As the door opened, Edo Tensei Itachi and Fugaku instantly met eyes.
The next second, young Itachi could feel his father's anger, which had just subsided, exploding tenfold, burning fiercely!
Ruined, everything was ruined...
"UNFILIAL SON! DIE!!!"
Fugaku's roar shook more than half of the Uchiha clan's territory, causing the residents to look at each other and laugh.
They were already used to it.
Fugaku beating his son every day was nothing strange; everyone knew. Only today did it sound more intense?
Wow, Fugaku was full of energy!
Eh? Why did the clan head's house suddenly collapse?
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
On the other side.
Parallel World 5, where Lux was.
Seeing the two Uchiha brothers suddenly disappear before their eyes, the others were also shocked.
It was as if they had insulted Tenshou Sennin and were immediately erased; this made the usually talkative Deidara instantly shut his mouth tightly.
He was talkative, but not stupid.
Who could be tested, and who should not be touched, he understood; that's why he was always obedient in front of Nagato.
"I-Is it, did those two annoying Uchiha die?"
Deidara took half a step back, hiding behind Sasori, asking softly.
"You really want them to die?"
Lux glanced at Deidara, then mocked.
"No-no, I just wanted to defeat them, stomp on their wretched faces."
Deidara answered honestly. His art still needed improvement; he didn't want to be erased by this Tenshou Sennin.
"Sir, what about Itachi?"
Nagato saw the others' anxiety and confusion, then asked.
At Tenshou Sennin's level, it was unlikely he would erase Itachi and Sasuke.
Of course, Nagato was also curious where they were taken.
"It's nothing. I sent them to the past; someone will teach them a lesson."
"T-The past? You mean time travel?"
"That's right. And since you've fulfilled the initial agreement, it's time for me to keep my promise."
"Sir means?"
"Ready to see the future of Amegakure firsthand?"
Lux teased, but this was indeed his initial promise; he wouldn't go back on his word.
"Of course, anytime!"
Nagato was very excited, trying to suppress his joy.
"Nagato, where are you going?"
"Leader, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Konan, Deidara, and the others hurriedly asked.
Lux didn't want to explain at length: "You can explain it yourself later after we return; let's go."
Lux moved his thoughts, using World Teleportation again, taking Nagato directly to Parallel World 7!
