Chapter 832 The Sunset Is Beautiful
As if waking up from a nightmare, Uchiha Itachi suddenly sat up from the hospital bed.
The tide of memories was mixed together, blocking his mind into a complex and lengthy muddy quagmire, almost swallowing him up.
"Zhi..."
As if he remembered something, Uchiha Itachi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and three black jade beads quickly appeared in his pupils, and then spun rapidly.
In the moment he just woke up, stimulated by the memories in his mind, he couldn't help but open the Mangekyo again.
But at the moment when the pattern connected by the jade beads in his pupils was about to appear, a sense of clarity suddenly surged into his heart, and under the influence of that mysterious power, he suddenly woke up from the out-of-control state.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't wake her up."
Just as Uchiha Itachi was staring at his palm in a daze, a deliberately suppressed voice came from the side. When he subconsciously looked over, the silver-haired man with dead fish eyes wearing a hospital gown on the bed next to him waved lazily towards him.
"Kakashi... Teacher?"
"Don't look at me, look at her."
Shaking his head slightly at him, Kakashi pointed forward.
... Front?
Raising his head in a trance, Uchiha Itachi's eyes fell on the front of his bed.
This time it was dusk, and the golden sunset shone lazily from the window, dyeing the window golden.
And near the window, a beam of sunset light shone through the gap in the curtains and gently fell on a girl. The girl had a circle of white bandages wrapped around her forehead, holding a thermos in her arms, her head slightly tilted against the table and fell into a deep sleep.
In the soft sunset, the girl's face looks particularly peaceful and gentle, her long eyelashes gently drooping, adding a bit of tranquility to her face, and the occasional breeze from the window gently brushes the girl's hair, bringing a hint of freshness and tranquility.
This picture is like a beautiful painting, which makes people feel pity and unwilling to disturb this tranquility and beauty. Looking at the figure over there quietly, Uchiha Itachi did not speak, but his body trembled slightly.
And on the side, Kakashi did not disturb him, but just watched quietly.
It was not until a long time later that Uchiha Itachi spoke in a low voice.
"This is not an illusion, nor a dream...right?"
"Of course, she is lucky. Although she fell off the cliff, she was not seriously injured, and even returned to Konoha before us."
His eyes fell on the sunset over there, and Kakashi's voice became much softer at this moment.
"Don't worry, this is not a dream, nor an illusion, but an absolute reality."
"………"
Uchiha Itachi did not respond to Kakashi's words, but his body became much more relaxed, and then he lay back on the bed and covered his face with the quilt.
"By the way, since you are awake, there is something I must explain to you."
Turning his head to look at the bed next to him, he first looked out the window, and then spoke in a low voice.
"Do you remember what happened at that time?"
"…I remember."
-This time, Kakashi waited for a long time before he got the other party's answer.
"At that time, I opened the Mangekyo."
Sitting up from the bed again, Uchiha Itachi's expression on his face had returned to its original calmness, but his eyes would always unconsciously look at the sunset over there.
…The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk.
"Since you know, it will be much easier."
Slightly relieved, Kakashi nodded.
"Don't tell anyone else except this ward about your opening of the Mangekyō. Also, don't try to use that forbidden power until your physical fitness is strong enough to support the Mangekyō."
At the end, Kakashi's tone was full of seriousness.
When the Uchiha clan opened their eyes and the level of the Sharingan was improved, although they would gain a huge improvement in mental strength, it was only limited to this. It doesn't mean that once you open your eyes, you will gain a strong physical fitness of the same level, let alone an improvement in chakra.
Chakra is a product of the mixture of mental energy and physical energy. Although your mental energy has increased, it is useless if your physical energy cannot keep up. The Sharingan may even become a burden to you.
So generally speaking, opening the eyes too early is a hidden danger.
This is the case with the ordinary one-magatama and two-magatama Sharingan, not to mention the Mangekyō above it. At Uchiha Itachi's current age, the only ending of forcibly driving the Mangekyō is violent death, and there is no other option.
"...I know."
After a short silence, Uchiha Itachi nodded.
Although the memory of that time was already very vague, he still remembered clearly that at that time, he seemed to have fallen into an extremely negative state.
Even now, when he recalled it, he felt a little chilly about himself at that time.
It was hard to imagine what he would become if Kakashi teacher had not stopped him at that time.
"Thank you, Kakashi teacher."
Turning his head to look at the bed beside him, Uchiha Itachi solemnly thanked him.
His voice was soft, but full of sincere gratitude.
If Kakashi hadn't stopped him at the critical moment and prevented him from going to an irreversible abyss, he would not have been able to see Zhi here again.
"Just as long as you understand."
Kakashi nodded at him, as if he had chuckled.
Even though he was lying on the hospital bed, Kakashi still had no intention of taking off the mask on his face, but Uchiha Itachi could still feel the smile on his face.
The mask has almost become a standard equipment for Kakashi teacher, and he would not even take it off when eating, so that in the past, Zhi had complained that the mask was the real body of Kakashi teacher...
Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but look at the sunset in front of him again, and at this moment, the girl in the sunset opened her eyes.
Seemingly a little sleepy, the girl rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand first, and then turned her head to look at them.
When she saw him awake, the girl stood up from her chair, and then strode towards him with a thermos in her hand... Then, in his slightly expectant gaze, she gave him a real knife without hesitation.
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
