Chapter 64 The Truth Behind the Uchiha Clan Massacre

The following time passed extremely quickly, like a revolving lantern.

Uchiha Itachi finally realized that the scenes appearing before his eyes were Mavis's memories.

Scenes composed of fragments of memory flashed before Itachi's eyes.

From these fragments of memory, Itachi finally understood the true origins of this mysterious girl.

The truth turned out to be like this!

Uchiha Itachi was shocked by the information he had obtained and finally understood the cause and effect of the abnormality in Konoha.

Itachi was initially relieved because Mavis didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Sasuke.

But the thought of Zeref, who was now radicalized and dark, being with Sasuke on Orochimaru's side made him somewhat worried.

He believed that Sasuke would be safe and sound, even if it was just Orochimaru.

—Uchiha Sharingan. Special attack against Orochimaru. Genjutsu. That's how confident I am.

But if Zeref were to try something to Sasuke, things could get really bad.

For a moment, Itachi Uchiha's emotions were in turmoil, and he wished he could go to Orochimaru's base immediately to see Sasuke's condition with his own eyes.

Realizing he had lost his composure, Itachi took a deep breath and suppressed the jumble of thoughts in his mind.

As reason gradually returned, deep-seated doubts also began to surface: Why did I see fragments of Mavis's memories? Was it an accident or did Mavis do it on purpose?

Or perhaps Mavis fabricated her own experiences to mislead him? But what would be the point? Various speculations and doubts instantly flooded Itachi Uchiha's mind.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Itachi's mind.

Wait, the past, memories?

Before the light shone brightly, Mavis's initial puzzled expression, followed by a determined look, resurfaced in Itachi's mind.

"Do you still have brotherly feelings for Sasuke?"—Getting the answer to this question was Mavis's real goal!

Once Itachi understood this, his eyes widened instantly, and a bad feeling immediately surfaced in his mind.

If he can see Mavis's past, then conversely, doesn't that mean Mavis might be observing his memories right now?!

Uchiha Itachi was so shocked by this guess that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Just then, as if sensing his guess, Mavis let out a sigh with complex emotions, which reached Itachi Uchiha's ears.

"Eh..."

With that sigh, the scene before Itachi Uchiha's eyes seemed to freeze instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed.

All the scenes froze in an instant, then vanished like sand in the wind.

After the scene before Itachi Uchiha changed, he found himself still in the Tsukuyomi space with Mavis, his body still in the alert posture where Mavis was holding his arm.

Mavis released her grip on Itachi Uchiha's hand, and the instant Mavis let go, Itachi's previously immobile body was able to move freely again.

Mavis looked at the young man, who was only about twenty years old, with an extremely complicated expression. Even she was at a loss for words after seeing Itachi Uchiha's memories.

I originally thought that Itachi Uchiha still had brotherly feelings for Sasuke, or perhaps there was some hidden reason.

However, what she didn't expect was that the truth she saw in Itachi Uchiha's memories was even more cruel and shocking.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Mavis without any more doubt, and even with a hint of pity in his eyes, and no longer held any hope in his heart.

He realized that Mavis had indeed seen his deepest secret from his memories, just as he had suspected.

Itachi Uchiha was filled with mixed emotions; the situation had developed far beyond his initial expectations.

Although he obtained information about Mavis, Mavis also learned of his own deepest secrets.

The thought that Mavis might tell Sasuke the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre made Itachi Uchiha feel a strong urge to kill her for a moment, but he ultimately gave up on the idea.

It wasn't just because of Mavis's kindness towards Sasuke, but more importantly because of Mavis's strength—he wasn't entirely confident he could kill Mavis.

Itachi Uchiha sighed deeply, revealing a genuine weariness.

He looked at Mavis and said, "Miss Mavis, is it really worth revealing your entire background to me just to uncover my hidden secrets?"

Mavis's expression turned solemn as she said in a deep voice, "Sasuke is a pure child. If it weren't for you, and if it weren't for the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, he could have been living a very happy life with his family."

Uchiha Itachi remained silent.

Mavis continued, "Even though I now understand your predicament and difficulties, I cannot condone your cruel actions, whether against your clan or Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were like a stagnant pool. Over the years, he had been able to tolerate even more outrageous things than what Mavis had said.

Because these accusations and insults are nothing compared to the self-reproach and pain in his heart.

Itachi Uchiha calmly said, "This is the only way to ensure Sasuke's safety in Konoha. If the Uchiha clan really launches a rebellion, they will have no chance of winning against Konoha."

"By then, even Sasuke will not be able to be saved, and Konoha, which is embroiled in civil war, will attract other ninja villages to take advantage of the situation. Perhaps the entire ninja world will once again be engulfed in war."

"So, this is why you turned your sword against the entire Uchiha clan?" Mavis interrupted directly, "Even if they were your relatives, even if some of them might not have wanted to participate in the so-called rebellion?"

Faced with Itachi Uchiha's reasons, Mavis said with some disbelief, "Is it so arrogant to decide to sacrifice the lives of another group for the sake of so-called peace for the majority?"

As Mavis gained a deeper understanding of the ninja world over this period, she gradually became aware of the darkness beyond the light of Konoha.

But at this moment, she discovered that it wasn't just outside Konoha that there was darkness; even the seemingly peaceful and bright Konoha had a hidden, dark side.

She once thought that Konoha's team mission system was very similar to the Magic Guild, especially the bond between Kakashi's team and Naruto and Sakura's determination to bring Sasuke back, which deeply moved her.

But when she learned the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan from Itachi's memories today, she was utterly shocked by the darkness hidden in Konoha and the entire ninja world.

She and her companions' Fairy Tail will never accept this so-called shadow beneath the light! Mavis thought resolutely.
