Facing Satsuki's crying pleas willing to trade her own life for Naruto's safety, both people present endured trendous inner tornt.
Beneath Uchiha Itachi's mask-like coldness, forcing her only sister to make such a desperate choice brought waves of suffocating pain to her heart. But the plan had to be executed—this blood-stained path offered no return.
She could only bury this pain deeper, armoring herself with an even colder deanor.
Yet at this mont, the one whose heart was even more turbulent, even feeling intense anguish, was Naruto—who seed to have lost consciousness and be at anyone's rcy.
'Though I'm about to be stabbed... hearing Satsuki say such things... feels worse than taking the blade! This idiot!'
Intense guilt wrapped around Naruto's spirit, constricting until he could barely breathe. Hearing Satsuki's tearful pleas, he regretted his "self-sacrifice sche" decision more deeply than ever before.
To awaken those damned Sharingan, Satsuki had to endure such trendous pain and fear, even making her say such things... he was a complete bastard!
'Damn it! Why must Uchiha power awaken through such cruel ans?!'
Just as Naruto was drowning in surging guilt and regret, Itachi's cruel voice rang out again.
"Rember this powerless weakness. If you want to kill ... then despise , hate , and... live on uglily, clinging to life."
"No... please... stop!"
The next mont—squelch!
A sharp, profound pain completely beyond expectation suddenly exploded from Naruto's body! Cold tal penetrated his muscle and tissue without obstruction, bringing a terrifying tearing sensation.
'Urgh—! So painful! This bastard! She's playing for real?! She's way too ruthless!'
The intense pain nearly made Naruto unable to maintain his feigned unconscious state. He frantically mobilized all willpower and chakra control techniques, forcibly suppressing his body's instinctive spasms and resistance.
He worked to maintain stable chakra for all the nma shadow clones, absolutely couldn't let severe injury cause all clones to disperse collectively.
He had to continue "playing" an unconscious "hostage" being cruelly hard.
However, all this internal roaring and endured agony appeared completely different to another person—Uchiha Satsuki.
She only saw the gleaming tantō unhesitatingly, precisely stabbed deep into Naruto's body!
Warm, crimson blood instantly gushed from the wound, quickly staining Naruto's shirt.
All surrounding sounds were instantly drained away, even her heart's frantic pounding... all these things she didn't want to hear, didn't want to know, transford into the sharpest awls, forcibly hamring her eardrums, brutally pouring into her already overwheld brain.
Sothing extrely dark, extrely violent was expanding wildly in her chest, crashing about, roaring to break free!
Rage.
Grief.
Hatred.
Love.
Extre emotions surged wildly within, violently impacting her final rational defenses, pushing her shattered psyche toward so abyss—
Hum—!
Searing pain that seed to lt her eyeballs suddenly exploded from deep in both eyes!
The next mont, her black eyes thoroughly soaked with tears suddenly took on an ominous crimson color ford from blood and curses under extre emotional catalysis.
The power reflecting the soul's eye—Sharingan.
Uchiha Itachi stared fixedly at that crimson she'd longed for, finally manifested.
In Satsuki's world, everything was different.
Her vision beca unprecedentedly clear, even capturing minute dust particles in the air and distant leaf textures, yet the entire world was tinted with a blood-colored filter.
All confusion, fear, and pleading were completely incinerated in this mont, leaving only one crystal-clear, utterly firm thought branded deep into her soul like red-hot iron—
'I know what must be done.'
'I absolutely must kill Uchiha Itachi.'
'Must kill, must kill, must kill her dead! Must completely crush her, burn away every cell composing her body with fla, must completely erase the existence called "Uchiha Itachi" from this world!'
'Without doing this... I cannot avenge parents and clan mbers, cannot repay the death Naruto suffered, cannot quell this hatred in my heart capable of burning everything!'
Her thinking was completely stained by viscous, pitch-black hatred.
'After killing that bastard—this filthy body of mine that's carried too much pain and sin should die too.'
Insane killing intent intertwined with self-destructive tendencies as consciousness beca unstable under extre load, harsh static beginning to mix into thought circuits.
In those ominous crimson eyes, three pitch-black tomoe spun frantically, faster and faster, nearly becoming three blurred black shadows.
Surging hatred like invisible whips forced them to break through so limit, tamorphosing toward deeper, more powerful forms!
'Spin! Spin more!' Nearly tearing the three tomoe completely apart, fusing them, sketching the prototype of so more complex, more dangerous pattern—
However, just as that pattern was about to take shape in the final instant!
"——!"
Her body issued the strongest protest! Violent convulsions instantly spread throughout, every cell wailing and collapsing! Uchiha Satsuki's still tender body and immature chakra simply couldn't bear this suddenly awakened power from deep in her bloodline trying to further run amok.
Her vision suddenly went black as all power receded like tide, intense dizziness and weakness instantly swallowing her.
In the second before consciousness completely sank into darkness, her Sharingan—gradually blurring from power backlash—caught one final image:
On that cold, twisted face she'd sworn to kill at any cost, at the corner of Uchiha Itachi's eyes... sothing crystal clear seed to be quietly sliding down.
This was the last thing Satsuki saw before losing consciousness—sothing incomprehensible.
