in the audience.
There were three people sitting in the general audience section today.
Jiraiya, Kakashi, Naruto.
Seeing that Uchiha Ryo was unharmed on the screen, Jiraiya nodded slightly.
Kakashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Naruto let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with joy: "Thank goodness, Sasuke's brother is alright! Sasuke can finally relax a lot."
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Immediately afterward, Naruto's eyes lit up: "Mom is that strong?!"
His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, a mixture of pride and shame filling his heart: "We both have the Nine-Tails sealed within us, yet the gap between me and my mother is just too vast—I absolutely must become stronger!"
Thinking of the suffocating feeling he had when he fought the fake Itachi during the day, almost being crushed by the pressure of chakra, Naruto gritted his teeth. Remembering the "method of controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra" that the perverted sage had mentioned not long ago, his blue eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.
I want to become stronger!
Learn that trick as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, Jiraiya's mind was not on Sasuke's dream.
Jiraiya asked Kakashi in a low voice, "How's it going? Any results on the matter I asked you to investigate during the day?"
Kakashi nodded upon hearing the divine pronouncement, saying, "Yes, everything has been investigated, and the situation is not optimistic."
He said in a low voice, "Many ninja from other villages have secretly infiltrated the residence of the Sand Village examiner. And—."
"I also found the four Sound Ninja who ambushed Itachi in the last dream."
"Oh?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.
Kakashi was referring to the four Sound Ninja who had joined forces to unleash the "Four Purple Flame Formation".
"What's even more troublesome is," Kakashi continued, "Although I haven't yet figured out the Kazekage's true identity, the 'accompanying instructors' in this Sunagakure team, whose official records show they are only Chunin or even Genin, have been observed closely and I've discovered that they definitely have the strength of Jonin."
"—It seems pretty much true." Jiraiya nodded slowly, his expression growing increasingly serious. "The Sand Village is planning something big during the Chunin Exams."
The mastermind behind this was undoubtedly Orochimaru. "Hmph, Orochimaru—." Jiraiya snorted coldly, his fists clenching unconsciously, his gaze becoming extremely sharp.
His former comrades-in-arms are now colluding with other villages to plot against him, which makes him both angry and heartbroken.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious VIP room of the dream space, Itachi's figure suddenly appeared.
This wasn't the first time he'd experienced such a bizarre scene, so he wasn't as tense and wary as before. Instead, he calmly sat down on the leather sofa and stared at his brother on the screen.
"Since we're already here, let's see what Sasuke can learn this time."
Rong muttered to himself, a hint of inquiry and anticipation shining in his dark eyes.
He was very curious about the effects of the potent drug he had given Sasuke earlier that day in his brother's dream.
Sasuke stood at the living room doorway, his mind blank.
Only when he saw his brother's unharmed figure at the dining table did his heart finally settle down.
In an instant, a surge of relief and joy washed over him. Sasuke could no longer contain his excitement, and a choked sob escaped his throat as he threw himself into Itachi's arms.
"Nii-san!!" Sasuke hugged Itachi tightly around the waist, burying his face in his brother's chest, his voice trembling with excitement, "Thank goodness—you're alright, that's so good—"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Itachi was sitting on the mat talking to his father when his younger brother suddenly hugged him tightly, causing him to freeze instantly.
He looked down at the black-haired boy who had snuggled into his arms, and was momentarily stunned.
What's wrong with Sasuke?
"Ahem!" Fugaku, seeing this, immediately frowned and hissed unhappily, "Sasuke, what kind of behavior is this! You get up and don't even change your clothes before running around like this. If there were guests present, you would completely disgrace the Uchiha clan!"
"Oh dear, please don't be so strict at a time like this." Mikoto, carrying miso soup, quickly advised her husband, "Sasuke almost lost his brother last night—"
Itachi then came to his senses and realized that his younger brother had lost his composure because he was concerned about him.
Thinking of this, a warm feeling welled up in his eyes. He raised his hand and gently patted Sasuke's back, comforting him, "It's alright, I'm fine now, aren't I? Oh, Sasuke, you're worrying too much."
Sasuke clung tightly to Itachi, trying hard to calm down, but emotions are not something that can be controlled so easily.
He looked up, tears welling in his eyes: "Nii-san, I'm so glad you're really alright—"
Looking at his brother's familiar and handsome face, and feeling his warm and real body temperature, Sasuke felt a mix of heartache and relief. A surge of emotion welled up in his eyes, and tears finally rolled down his cheeks.
This is his Nissan.
This is the gentle and reliable older brother he remembers!
But what about in reality?
In reality, Itachi had already been killed by that beast, and even his eyes were taken away by that bastard after his death!
Thinking of all this, Sasuke felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and the grief and anger in his chest almost ripped him apart.
He gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face, his hand gripping Rong Yi's collar trembling slightly.
This damn beast!
You failed to kill me this time, but I will never let you off the hook next time we meet!
Itachi looked down and saw his younger brother suddenly burst into tears, and was somewhat taken aback: "Sasuke? W-why are you crying—"
He assumed Sasuke was still terrified by yesterday's ordeal, so he quickly and gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's all over now. I'm right here beside you, aren't I?"
Rong reached out and ruffled her younger brother's messy hair, patiently comforting him.
Looking at the gentle and kind Itachi in front of him.
Sasuke felt even worse.
This is how his Nissan should look!
Nissan!
Do you know how horribly you died in real life?
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
With his brother's gentle pats on his back and whispered words of comfort, Sasuke gradually stopped trembling and calmed down considerably.
He then realized that he had lost his composure and cried in public. His face flushed red, and he quickly let go of Itachi's arms, wiping away the tears on his face haphazardly.
After taking a few deep breaths, Sasuke turned and bowed deeply to his father: "Father, I'm so sorry—I was extremely rude just now!"
Fugaku was initially quite annoyed, but seeing Sasuke crying like that and so quickly admitting his mistake and apologizing, his expression softened.
He gave a light snort, his reprimand no longer harsh: "Fine, it's good that you know you're wrong. We Uchiha men must remain calm no matter what happens, and not lose control so easily, what kind of behavior is that?"
Although he said that, Fugaku knew in his heart that his youngest son had lost his composure because he was really worried about his older brother.
Thinking of the near-death experience of losing his beloved son last night, a trace of lingering fear flashed in his eyes, and his expression also showed signs of fatigue.
"Yes, Father," Sasuke replied, straightening his back.
Just then, his gaze inadvertently fell upon his father's left arm, which was wrapped in a thick cast and secured to his neck with a sling. He was startled. "Father, your hand—you're injured?"
Fugaku looked down at his left arm, which was in a cast, and said calmly, "It's just a minor injury, nothing to make a fuss about."
He deliberately softened his tone, "Many people in the tribe were injured last night, but my injury is nothing to me, so you don't need to worry."
"But—" Sasuke's face was still full of worry upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Fugaku nodded slightly, feeling quite gratified by Sasuke's understanding and concern, but as a father, he couldn't bring himself to show it.
He coughed lightly: "Cough, no buts, the injury will heal with time."
Seeing that his father did not want to talk more, Sasuke could only nod and stop asking questions.
Mikoto had already returned to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and Sasuke quickly went to help, bringing the breakfast to the table one by one.
The somewhat awkward atmosphere eased a little as the family busied themselves with their tasks.
Before long, a sumptuous Japanese breakfast was laid out on the table.
The two brothers sat down side by side, and Mikoto smiled as she served the family steaming bowls of miso soup.
Looking at the long-lost heartwarming scene before him, Fugaku's stern face softened slightly.
He swept away his earlier displeasure and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's eat."
Inside the VIP room.
Through the screen, Itachi witnessed the scene of Sasuke throwing himself into the arms of "Dream Itachi," and his expression became extremely complex.
Itachi had also clearly seen all the changes in Sasuke's expression.
The younger brother first looked at himself in the dream with joy and admiration, and then instantly gritted his teeth and was filled with grief and indignation. How could Itachi not understand that this filial piety was dedicated to "Uchiha Itachi in the dream", while the deep hatred and anger were directed at himself in reality.
Even though he orchestrated all of this with the aim of severing Sasuke's brotherly bond, when he actually witnessed his brother being treated so differently, Rong still felt a bitter taste rising deep within his heart.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Itachi Uchiha have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
He sighed softly, lowered his eyes, and murmured self-deprecatingly, "From this perspective, the daytime performance was quite successful—"
However, a crucial question quickly flashed through Rong's mind.
The condition for awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is the immense shock of witnessing the death of a close relative or best friend in front of one's eyes.
However, given how things have developed, even if he had the chance to tell Sasuke the truth in the future, Sasuke would probably never believe it.
In this way, the younger brother could not awaken the kaleidoscope because of his own "death".
So how will Sasuke awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future?
Itachi frowned, revealing a rare expression of deep thought and distress.
After a long pause, the image of that golden figure suddenly flashed through his mind. During the day, when he kicked Naruto away, the anxiety and concern on Sasuke's face could not have been more genuine.
This shows that the relationship between Sasuke and Naruto is extraordinary.
"Perhaps—we could try starting with him?" Itachi squinted and muttered to himself.
A fragrant aroma of food wafted over, pulling Sasuke's thoughts back to reality.
The family had already started breakfast. Itachi served Sasuke a bowl of rice and handed it to him, saying, "Sasuke, eat."
Sasuke quickly took the bowl of rice and responded softly, "Oh—okay."
He sat down quietly to eat, glancing at Rong beside him from time to time out of the corner of his eye.
The brother in my dream was no different from the one in my memory; his every move was still so composed and elegant.
At this moment, Itachi was quietly taking care of his parents' meal needs, pouring tea for his father and helping his mother with the tableware, showing gentleness and consideration.
Sasuke was filled with emotion, and his nose felt a little sore. He could only bury his head in his rice and eat it to hide his feelings.
Before long, Sasuke put down his chopsticks and immediately got up to clear the table, stacking the dishes and taking them into the kitchen.
Seeing this, Mikoto smiled with satisfaction and said, "Sasuke was really good today."
The mother and son were washing dishes side by side at the sink, working together seamlessly.
During a break from washing, Mikoto casually chatted with Sasuke: "By the way, Itachi and I are planning to visit Kushina later, do you want to come along?"
"Going to Naruto's house?" Sasuke paused slightly, then immediately nodded. "I want to go too!"
The image of Naruto's worried expression about his parents' safety during the day flashed through his mind.
Yes, Naruto must be very curious about his parents' current situation, right?
With this in mind, Sasuke had made up his mind.
Even if Naruto isn't in the audience right now, he still wants to go see him in person and then tell Naruto in real life the news.
Seeing Sasuke agree without hesitation, Mikoto couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Good, good, our Sasuke is so thoughtful, he's starting to care about his comrades."
She praised her son softly as she quickly washed the last dish.
Sasuke neatly arranged the washed dishes and chopsticks before taking out a towel to wipe his hands.
"Mother—how is the Fourth Hokage doing now?"
Upon hearing this, Mikoto was slightly taken aback, but still answered truthfully, "The Fourth Hokage was not seriously injured. He was basically unharmed during last night's attack."
She paused, then smiled and said, "But he must be very busy these next few days, we probably won't see him when we go over later."
"That's great!" Sasuke felt relieved upon hearing this and let out a long sigh of relief.
In this way, Naruto can rest assured.
