Should I continue being a villain in the ninja world after transmigrating?

Chapter 78 Farewell to the Gods

The night before leaving Amegakure, Mavis was packing her luggage in her room.

After gathering some essential items in one place, Mavis took out a scroll commonly found in the ninja world, unfolded it, and placed the items on the scroll.

Mavis's expression turned serious, and her hands formed a natural and fluid hand seal. In the next moment, the items laid out on the scroll were successfully sealed inside the scroll.

A slight smile curved Mei's lips as she murmured to herself, "Ninjutsu, success~"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Mavis turned around and opened the door, but couldn't help but wonder: Who could it be so late?

The door opened, and Mebius looked somewhat surprised.

"Itachi? What brings you here?"

Mavis stepped aside to let Itachi Uchiha in and asked with some confusion.

Uchiha Itachi walked slowly into the room and said naturally, "Ah, since you're going to Otogakure, I'd like to talk to you about Sasuke. There are too many people and too many eyes in the base, so I haven't had a chance to do so before."

Upon hearing Itachi Uchiha's words, the look of confusion on Mavis's face gradually disappeared.

Understanding Itachi's feelings for Sasuke, Mavis had no doubt about Itachi's statement.

—And this is exactly the effect Itachi wanted to achieve. The most convincing lies are often half true and half false, and Itachi Uchiha clearly understood this principle well.

Upon entering, Itachi immediately spotted the scroll that had successfully sealed the supplies and couldn't help but say, "As expected of you, Mavis. In such a short time, your speed and proficiency in mastering ninjutsu are truly remarkable."

"If you really are a ninja, you must be an exceptional one."

Even though he had come for another purpose today, seeing Mavis's talent, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but speak up.

During this time, Mavis often consulted him about the history and common knowledge of the ninja world, and sometimes she would also ask him with great interest about some practical ninjutsu.

Although she had never been exposed to ninjutsu before, and the use of magic and chakra was different, Mavis managed to figure out how to use ninjutsu on her own in such a short time.

Moreover, once she has successfully used a ninjutsu, she will never make a mistake again.

Having witnessed all of this, Itachi Uchiha, even though he himself had been hailed as a rare genius since childhood, had to admire Mavis's talent.

More importantly, despite being a genius, Mavis showed no trace of the arrogance of a strong person.

If it were someone like Mavis, even a genius wouldn't be ostracized or resented by others, Itachi Uchiha thought with some emotion.

Although he appears different from most members of the Uchiha clan, Itachi Uchiha was one of the most sensitive and thoughtful members of the Uchiha clan, often lost in thought and reflection.

—After all, starting to think about the meaning of life, the village, and the family at the age of four is indeed a bit too precocious…

Unbeknownst to Mavis, Itachi Uchiha had merely glanced at his sealing scroll and was already contemplating the complexities of a genius's interpersonal relationships. When Mavis turned her head, she saw Itachi earnestly praising the sealing scroll.

Mavis, who didn't think there was anything wrong with using ninjutsu, tilted her head and smiled, saying, "Although it doesn't have as many possibilities as magic, ninjutsu still has many commendable aspects."

"The world of magic sounds so enchanting."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Mavis and slowly said, "But the world of ninjas is different from your world, isn't it, Mavis?"

As soon as Itachi Uchiha uttered those words, the atmosphere in the room inexplicably became somewhat tense.

Mavis blinked slowly, looking at Uchiha Itachi, the smile on her face gradually fading.

“I thought that when you said you wanted to talk to me about Sasuke, you wanted me to see how Sasuke was doing around Orochimaru and Zeref,” Mavis said slowly.

She continued to stare at Itachi Uchiha, and simply asked directly, "Itachi Uchiha, I've already said that I will definitely tell Sasuke the whole truth."

"Sasuke's current youth and weakness are not a reason for you to arbitrarily arrange his fate."

As expected, Mavis's attitude remained resolute, which strengthened Itachi's resolve to do what he was about to do.

"I believe you have good intentions towards Sasuke, but since you consider him a friend, why make him face such a cruel truth?"

At this point, Itachi Uchiha also had some genuine doubts: "You want Sasuke to successfully complete his revenge, gain the reputation of a hero, and return to Konoha and his comrades, isn't that what you also want?"

Mavis raised her hand to rub her forehead, which was throbbing slightly after hearing these words. Feeling a rush of blood to her head, she silently repeated to herself twice, "Don't be angry."

Taking a deep breath, Mavis straightened her expression and said, "Precisely because I consider Sasuke a friend, I would never make a decision for him without his consent. He has the right to know the truth, and that's what you owe him, Uchiha Itachi!"

Mavis put down her hand that was rubbing her forehead, walked to the scroll and put it away, then gave him the order to leave: "I have once again fully understood your stubbornness and arrogance. If there is nothing else, please leave."

After Mavis finished speaking, she continued packing her luggage, but after a while she found that there was no movement behind her. The Uchiha did not speak, but they did not leave either.

Feeling something was off, Mavis turned around and looked at Itachi Uchiha with a slight frown, only to see that Itachi's eyes had already transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, one eye pattern was the triangular dart pattern we had seen before, while the other eye pattern had become a four-cornered dart.

Mavis paused slightly, then instinctively asked, "Itachi, your eyes..." have mutated?

Mavis was shocked. Not only could the Sharingan upgrade its power and put a heavy burden on the body, but it could also mutate?!

Unaware that the Sharingan image in Mavis's mind was damaged, Itachi Uchiha activated his chakra, and the four-cornered shuriken pattern slowly rotated in the new Sharingan.

Itachi Uchiha slowly spoke, "Mavis, I understand what you mean, but Sasuke is still very innocent. If we rashly tell him the truth, he might not be able to handle it and could hurt himself. So please, as long as Sasuke doesn't actively seek the truth, could you please remain silent? Just for Sasuke's sake."

Mavis frowned instinctively: "I've already said that..."

The moment Mavis met the spinning Sharingan, her voice suddenly paused, her pupils dilated slightly, and her expression froze.

……

"Bang--"

As the door closed, Mavis blinked, watching the door shut after Itachi Uchiha left. She felt a sense of unease, but couldn't quite pinpoint why.

Outside the room, in the dimly lit corridor, Itachi Uchiha braced himself against the wall with one hand and covered his mouth tightly with the other, blood constantly flowing from between his fingers.

At the same time, the Sharingan with the four-cornered dart pattern silently turned gray in the darkness, appearing as if it had gone blind.

Uchiha Itachi leaned against the wall and walked towards his room, showing no reaction whatsoever to the fact that he had lost one eye.

He used all the power of the eye left by Shisui to apply a reasonable, subtle hint that already existed in Mavis's mind but was suppressed by her rationality: to avoid telling Sasuke the truth so that Sasuke would not get hurt again.

This is the method that Itachi Uchiha came up with to stop Mavis from telling Sasuke the truth!

Mavis's mental strength was something Itachi Uchiha had never seen before and could hardly imagine.

Sometimes he even thought that even the legendary God of Shinobi and the Asura of Shinobi might not be able to match Mavis in terms of sheer mental strength.

Uchiha Itachi remained incredibly calm. He used all the power in Shisui's eyes to unleash his strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, to deliver a perfectly reasonable suggestion. Even Mavis probably wouldn't be able to resist it.

Itachi reached out and touched Shisui's already blind eyes, and sighed softly.

It's not that I regret Shisui's blindness, because once Kotoamatsukami is used, it takes many years to use it again, so whether he is blind or not is not important.

It's a pity this was originally intended as a genjutsu for Sasuke...
