Naruto Immersive Replay, The Curse of the Sharingan

"You can only be mine..." Madara murmured softly, gazing at his palm.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the training grounds of the Uchiha clan, bathing everything in a faint golden-red hue.

The three had finished a tough day of training and were preparing to go back and relax.

They found Uchiha Kakuno still sweating profusely on the training field, his kunai gleaming coldly as he repeatedly threw them at the target.

Izuna, always lively and fond of joking, couldn't help but tease Huohe, seeing his appearance, "Oh ho, Huohe is so hardworking!"

His voice carried a hint of teasing, and his eyes were full of laughter.

Upon hearing Izuna's words, Huohe stopped what he was doing, his face showing a look of utter despair.

He tossed the kunai aside, walked over to the three of them, and began to complain, "I was planning to go out with the young clan leader at noon, but who would have thought Elder Nagi would be here too!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Hikko shook his head helplessly, seemingly feeling extremely frustrated when he recalled the scene.

"So what happened next?" Liangying's curiosity was piqued, and her eyes sparkled with gossip.

In this relatively monotonous training life, such a little episode was like a breath of fresh air, arousing everyone's interest.

Huo He vividly described, "Do you know? Back then, the young clan leader's hand was holding Elder Nagi's hand like this!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, trying to imitate the actions of Madara and Elder Nagi.

His expression was exaggerated, and he deliberately raised his voice a few decibels, trying to create that ambiguous and surprising atmosphere.

Upon seeing this, the three of them simultaneously took a step back, their faces showing a hint of disgust.

Qi Ye frowned and said, "Alright, alright, stop gesturing, it's kind of cheesy."

Fire Core, however, paid no attention to their reactions and continued shouting, "The young clan leader said that if we don't train until dark today, we won't get any food!"

The voice was filled with sorrow, as if it had suffered the cruelest punishment in the world.

Liangying, Quanna, and Qiye exchanged a glance and quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

How could they, as his younger brothers, be completely unaware of Madara's feelings for Elder Nagi?

Izuna's lips curled up slightly, and he scoffed, "You dare to ruin Madara's plans? You'd better just focus on your training!"

After saying that, he pulled his two other brothers and prepared to leave.

"Hey, don't go! Train with me!" Firecore called out from behind.

"Good luck to yourself!" Liangying turned around, waved, and said with a smile.

After a day of training and playing around, they returned home.

The three people lying on the bed were wide awake, their minds filled with the things that Uchiha Kagami had said during the day about Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Nagi.

"What do you think happened between Madara and Elder Nagi?" Izuna broke the silence first, asking softly in the darkness.

Liangying rolled over. "I'm curious too. Although Brother Ban is usually strict, he rarely punishes others for things like this. There must be some hidden reason."

Qi Ye sat up and said excitedly, "I think there must be other hidden stories here. We have to ask Brother Ban."

The suggestion was instantly approved by everyone, so they sneaked towards Madara Uchiha's room under the cover of night.

Arriving at Madara's door, Izuna reached out and gently knocked.

Madara Uchiha's voice came from inside the room, "Who is it?"

The three of them exchanged glances but did not reply.

Ban looked puzzled and got up to open the door.

When he saw that the people standing at the door were his three younger brothers, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"You guys...?" Before Madara could finish speaking, Izuna, like a clever little imp, poked his head inside, followed closely by Ryoei and Kiyo, who squeezed into the room.

"Onii-chan, please tell us!" Izuna suddenly hugged Madara's arm and started to act cute.

Madara Uchiha was taken aback by their sudden actions and couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.

"Tell what?" Ban asked, frowning.

"Of course, what happened between you and Elder Nagi today?" Qi Ye asked his older brother with his hands on his hips and a smug look on his face.

Upon hearing Nagi Uchiha's name, Madara's eyes subconsciously tensed up.

He feigned composure and said, "What are you all curious about? Perhaps you haven't been training enough?"

Ban's tone became more stern, trying to discourage his three younger brothers.

Liang Ying wouldn't be so easily intimidated.

He laughed and said, "Brother Ban wouldn't punish us! Just tell the truth, what's the deal between you and Elder Nagi?"

Ban felt a splitting headache; his three younger brothers were simply there to make things worse for him.

He sighed helplessly, "There's really nothing between her and me. You guys should go and get some rest."

"I don't believe it. The way Onii-chan looked at Elder Nagi was practically begging to kill her..." Izuna hadn't finished speaking.

Madara quickly covered his mouth, gritting his teeth as he said, "Now you all go to sleep right now, and you're not allowed to talk about me and Elder Nagi anymore!"

Ban was radiating a powerful aura of pressure. The three younger brothers sensed that their eldest brother was truly angry, and immediately became obedient, nodding their heads obediently.

"Got it, big brother."

"We're leaving now."

"I dare not ask any more questions."

They dared not linger any longer, and soon the three of them disappeared.

Madara watched their departing figures, shook his head helplessly, and felt a growing resentment towards the Uchiha Fire Core.

"This fire core really knows how to pick its timing," Madara muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, after Liangying, Izuna, and Qiye ran back to their room, they gathered together to discuss the matter.

Izuna gasped, "Big brother looks so fierce, he almost scared me to death."

Qi Ye smiled mysteriously, "But I think my older brother definitely has feelings for Elder Nagi."

Liangying nodded in agreement, "There must be something going on, but my brother just doesn't want to talk about it."

“Then we’ll observe secretly from now on, and we’re sure we’ll find something.” Uchiha Izuna’s eyes darted around.

"Okay, but don't let my older brother find out, or I'll get scolded again," Qi Ye said in a low voice.

After the three of them discussed it and, filled with curiosity about their eldest brother's feelings, they gradually drifted off to sleep.

The surrounding walls exuded an old and damp smell, and the dim torches flickered on the walls as if they might go out at any moment, completely releasing the endless darkness.

As you ventured deeper into the dungeon, you came across Uchiha Reixi standing in front of a cell.

Inside the cell, the captured Senju Itama huddled in a corner, his eyes revealing exhaustion and vigilance, but even more so, the urgency brought on by hunger.

Uchiha Rei held a plate of food in his hands. The steam from the food slowly rose in the cold dungeon, forming a wisp of white mist.

He bent down slightly and passed the food through the crack in the cell door.

Senju Itama's gaze was instantly drawn to the food; his eyes widened, gleaming with longing.

Driven by intense hunger, he didn't have time to wonder if the food was poisoned. He quickly reached out, took it, and began to wolf it down.

You slowly walked to Uchiha Rei's side, your gaze silently fixed on Senju Itama.

There was no hatred or pity in his eyes, only a calm scrutiny, as if he were seeing something deeper through him.

"Why didn't the young clan leader come to see you?" Uchiha Lengxi asked with a hint of curiosity on her face, arms crossed.

Madara's control and possessiveness towards Nagi Uchiha was already well-known within the clan; it was almost an open obsession.

You paused for a moment, then said, "Firecore needs to see him about something."

You simply cannot understand why the tribespeople are always so curious and interested in their own affairs and those of Ban.

"I see." Uchiha Rei suddenly realized. He was wondering how the young clan leader, with his strong personality, could allow Uchiha Nagi to have such a leisurely life.

For a moment, the dungeon fell into a brief silence, with only the sound of someone swallowing food in the cubicle standing out clearly.

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Rei seemed to suddenly remember something, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep sadness.

He slowly raised his head, staring blankly ahead, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Tomorrow is the anniversary of Su's death. As his sister, you should go and pay your respects. Running away won't solve anything."

The image of his deceased best friend, Uchiha Su, involuntarily appeared in Uchiha Rei's mind.

They once cultivated together in the clan and carried out missions together, but those beautiful memories have now become the past, leaving only endless pain and regret.

Your body trembled slightly, and your younger brother's image instantly appeared in your mind.

You never attended your brother's death anniversary; deep down, you never truly accepted Su's death.

You always feel that as long as you don't confront it, your younger brother is still there beside you.

Thinking of how his younger brother entrusted his Sharingan to Uchiha Yoshihide before he died, and how he seemed to have developed different feelings for Madara recently.

You know, it's time to say goodbye to the past.

While the death of my brother is something I can never forget, I must always face this cruel reality.

You slowly raised your head, looked firmly at Uchiha Rei, and took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow."

Uchiha Rei was somewhat surprised by your answer.

Lengxi originally thought that you would refuse again, just like before.

In his memory, Uchiha Nagi had always been avoiding the topic of her younger brother's death anniversary, and he had even prepared to persuade her again.

Unexpectedly, this time, Uchiha Nagi had a change of heart.

"If Su knew you could get through this, she would be so relieved." Uchiha Reixi sighed softly.

You didn't respond, you just stood there quietly, your gaze becoming distant and profound.

After emerging from the dungeon, I walked alone on the deserted streets.

The moonlight shines on you, casting a long shadow. Your thoughts wander, recalling every moment you spend with your younger brother.

When you were little, Su always followed behind you, calling you "sister" this and "sister" that. Her innocent voice still seems to echo in your ears.

You used to play together in the woods and practice ninjutsu together; those happy times are now just distant memories.

Back at your place, you lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Tomorrow you will face the reality you've been avoiding, and you don't know if you really have enough courage.

The rain fell like silk threads, weaving a fine web of sorrow.

Uchiha Ryōei and Uchiha Reiki stood solemnly before the tombstone of their close friend Uchiha Suku. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of raindrops sliding down could be heard, wetting the stone platform in front of the tombstone and chilling their hearts.

The air was filled with a dampness that soaked everyone's clothes and hair, and raindrops gently tapped the ground, making a soft, pattering sound.

During the preparations for the memorial service, Uchiha Rei's gaze kept wandering around restlessly, appearing somewhat absent-minded.

Looking at him like this, Liangying felt a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Lengxi, who are you waiting for?"

Leng Xi thought about Uchiha Nagi's promise last night that she would come to pay her respects, and worried that she might break her promise and not come.

But when his gaze fell upon the shadows of a grove of trees, he saw a corner of a death knight's robe peeking out from behind a tree.

Now that she's here, she must not be ready to show herself yet, Leng Xi thought to herself.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, shook his head, and said to Liang Ying, "It's alright, let's begin."

Lengxi's unusual behavior aroused the suspicion of Uchiha Madara, who was standing nearby.

Madara's keen eyes followed the direction of Lengxi's gaze and looked toward the woods. He remembered that Uchiha Su was Nagi's younger brother and guessed that Nagi might also be there, but had hidden herself away.

Chapter 10 Tombstone

Leng Xi was immersed in deep longing for Su, her heart filled with regret and sorrow.

However, he was somewhat relieved that Uchiha Nagi had finally mustered the courage to face reality today.

The memorial ceremony proceeded solemnly and respectfully, and time seemed to slow down at that moment.

Liangying stared at the name of Uchiha Su on the tombstone, her heart filled with grief.

Smoke filled the air, and shouts of battle were deafening. The sky was obscured by thick smoke, appearing as a gloomy, oppressive yellow.

On the battlefield, swords clashed and blood splattered everywhere.
