When the belief in "protection" was completely crushed by despair and truth, Uchiha Itachi's choice was no longer sacrifice and forbearance. On the night of the genocide, the sword in his hand not only cut off the bloodline of his clan members, but also cut off the last trace of illusion and weakness towards Konoha's high-level officials in his heart. This time, he was no longer satisfied with playing a stigmatized chess piece, but decided to become the one in control of the chessboard - the "Night Emperor".
He no longer sees Sasuke as a younger brother who needs to be protected, but as an ultimate weapon that needs to be carefully crafted, a perfect vessel to carry his will. The root of Konoha (Danzo) became his most loyal puppet under his eternal Mangekyō Sharingan; the Akatsuki organization was nothing more than a tool for him to harvest power and disrupt the ninja world. Nine-tailed Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto? A tailed beast container destined to be stripped off, its growth trajectory is entirely determined by Itachi's calculations.
The flames of the Fourth Ninja War are no longer a stage for redemption and bondage, but a grand puppet show directed by Itachi Uchiha. When the past Kage, the Ninja Alliance, and even the resurrected Uchiha Madara all thought they were fighting for their own ideals, the "Lord Tsukuyomi" in the shadow was coldly overlooking the catastrophe caused by him, his fingertips entangled with the invisible thread that controlled all living beings.
He will rewrite the history of the ninja world with absolute reason and ruthlessness. Peace? Will be defined by his absolute will, covering the entire ninja world with the eternal Tsukuyomi. The arrival of Otsutsuki Kaguya is just the final sacrifice for his final journey to becoming a god.
