Chapter 55 Immerse yourself in the Sharingan's genjutsu!
Ningxia's attitude towards Itachi was complicated. She was disappointed that Itachi had failed to change her, but also relieved that Shisui had helped her pull back from the brink.
Overall, I felt disgusted by her, but for various reasons, I maintained a strange sense of decorum.
However, since Shisui had already spoken, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He just needed to consider when to tell Shisui and whether Shisui could accept reality.
At Fugaku's invitation, Ningxia was carried into the Uchiha clan's territory in a grand sedan chair; those who didn't know better would have thought he had married into the Uchiha clan.
Despite repeated refusals, Fugaku insisted that the Uchiha clan, being the most prestigious clan in Konoha, deserved due respect.
Even Shisui urged her, saying that she would have to be carried from the Uchiha clan to Ningxia in the future.
"..."
Looking at Zhishui grinning foolishly, Ningxia hesitated several times before finally saying something, fearing that Zhishui wouldn't be able to accept it.
After being carried to Fu Yue’s house, Ningxia immediately said that all this formality was out the question, he wanted to see a doctor!
"Lord Ningxia, Itachi is in the room... Please be careful."
When Mikoto saw Ningxia arrive, her tense brows finally relaxed, and she received him with the same warmth as Fugaku.
Ningxia gently raised her hand to decline the help from the Uchiha woman, and then went into Itachi's room.
"Sister, please bear with it a little longer, um... sister..."
Zuo Yue stayed by Itachi's side the whole time, and was very worried as she watched her sister suffer from excruciating pain all over her body.
This is the Uchiha's Bloodstained Disease. After using the Mangekyou Sharingan too much, it's not just about blindness; it also brings the pain of tearing apart cells throughout the body.
Generally speaking, this is something that only happens when using Susanoo, but Itachi almost completely drained the Sharingan's power, which caused the side effects to appear. Otherwise, Itachi could have at least concealed it for a few months.
"I...I'm fine...Zuo Yue...Who came?"
Itachi was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat, but his hearing was extremely sharp, and he heard the door open and Ningxia's footsteps.
"Brother Ningxia!!!"
Zuo Yue released Itachi's arm, causing her to lose her support and fall onto the tatami mat. The intense pain almost made her faint.
But Zuo Yue's cry of "Brother Ningxia" jolted her awake from near unconsciousness, as if struck by lightning.
Ning... Ningxia? Ningxia is here? No! Don't let Ningxia see this! I don't want Ningxia to see me like this!!!
At this moment, Itachi was like a young bride who had been exposed naked, at a loss. However, the pain that kept coming from all over her body made it difficult for her to even stand up, let alone escape.
"Brother Ningxia...you must heal my sister..."
Zuo Yue trusted Ningxia completely. She always believed that as long as Ningxia came, her sister's illness would definitely get better.
"Yes, I will. Now, Zuo Yue, you and everyone else wait outside. I need to examine Itachi."
"good……"
Zuo Yue obediently left, leaving only Ning Xia and Itachi in the room.
"Long time no see..."
Ningxia stared at Itachi, unable to understand why Itachi could have gone blind in such a peaceful time.
Not only that, she looked much thinner and had thick dark circles under her eyes, much like... someone who over-rewards others.
No, it's because the rewards were excessive!
Itachi felt even more guilty. The reason she went blind was because... she wanted to escape reality.
Initially, Itachi simply used ordinary illusions to escape reality.
In the illusion, she and Ningxia are still good friends, and the two date every day in Konoha and other countries.
Itachi remained the same throughout, at most holding hands or crossing arms.
After the illusion ended, she would often stay up all night recalling all the things she had done to Ningxia.
The problem is that ordinary illusions are ultimately just fantasies. After trying them a few times, she began to get tired of them, even though she could still use illusions to construct Konoha.
But... it was too unreal, making it impossible for her to immerse herself in the fantasy.
Finally, she turned to the kaleidoscope. With the help of the kaleidoscope, the illusions did become more realistic. However, after a month, she gradually developed a tolerance for ordinary illusions.
Having no other choice, Itachi started using Tsukuyomi. Through Tsukuyomi, she was finally able to fully immerse herself in fantasy.
But the price is that her eyes can't handle the twice-daily reading sessions, and she just can't quit.
She became increasingly immersed in the world of Tsukuyomi, gradually losing sight of the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
In the end, Mikoto discovered that she was over-rewarded, blind, and in pain all over her body.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Itachi with his head down and not saying a word, Ningxia frowned. He was basically certain that Itachi had simply blinded himself with the Kaleidoscope.
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak openly, Ningxia reached out and gently pressed her eyes.
Having previously treated Shisui, Ningxia was experienced in this matter and helped Itachi regain his lost eye power just right.
"My eyes..."
As his eyes regained their sight, Itachi looked at Ningxia in disbelief, while Ningxia clapped her hands, got up and left, leaving Itachi speechless.
At this moment, Fugaku, Shisui, Zuoyue and others were waiting at the door. Upon seeing Ningxia, Fugaku quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"I'll temporarily restore Itachi's eye power. Try not to use the Mangekyou Sharingan recklessly in the future, otherwise..."
Ningxia paused, then looked at Fugaku. As an Uchiha, Fugaku understood the cost better than he did.
"I understand, Lord Ningxia."
Fugaku nodded, keeping Ningxia's instructions in mind, and then talked about Itachi's recent condition.
"Itachi... she was deeply hurt by some unknown man, that's why she's like this now, sigh... it's a pity Itachi doesn't want to talk about it, otherwise I..."
Fugaku gritted his teeth as he mentioned this. What was wrong with his daughter? How dare that man refuse her?
"Yeah, that guy is going too far! Itachi's lost so much weight lately, but he hasn't come to see him once. I really need to control him!"
Shisui, filled with righteous indignation, naturally wanted to help Itachi as long as he didn't like Ningxia.
"..."
Listening to the two of them angrily complaining about the scumbag, Ningxia's lips twitched incessantly. She was a little angry, but she wanted to laugh even more.
Ningxia glanced back at Itachi's room, knowing she was eavesdropping, and wondered what she was thinking.
"Ningxia, tell me, wasn't that person going too far!"
Zhi Shui gently pulled Ning Xia along. Luckily, Ning Xia wasn't a scumbag. As for the other women... weren't they just too slow? How could you blame Ning Xia?
"Hehehe..."
Ningxia couldn't help but burst out laughing; she was laughing in exasperation.
"Actually... we need to look for the reasons within ourselves in some things, don't we?"
"Shisui, I'm going back now. You can talk to Itachi when you have time."
Ningxia tapped Shisui on the head. This time, he refused the Uchiha's sedan chair and preferred to walk back slowly.
Perhaps I should tell Shisui?
Shisui obediently went into the room, ready to have a heart-to-heart talk with Itachi, after all, he was his clan leader successor and the future Sixth Hokage!
