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

Chapter 65 Leaving the Tsukuyomi Space

Itachi Uchiha was not surprised by Mavis's anger.

He is now perhaps the person in the entire ninja world who knows Mavis's past best, besides Zeref.

Therefore, he also saw Fairy Tail, which was created by Mavis. The camaraderie among its members felt exceptionally beautiful, yet also exceptionally unreal, and completely out of step with the ninja world's values.

However, recalling the scattered information he had gleaned from Mavis's memories, Itachi said, "Even in the world of magic, there are many hardships and shadows, like those guys who chase after Zeref's power, aren't there?"

"Therefore, where there is light, there will be shadow, whether in the ninja world or the magic world, it is the same."

Mavis clenched her fists; she suddenly understood why Sasuke wanted to beat up Itachi Uchiha.

She frowned slightly, her eyes radiating a firm and unwavering light, and said resolutely, "Of course I understand that, but it is unacceptable to use the idea that where there is light, there is shadow to excuse one's evil deeds!"

Seeing that the conversation with Mavis was gradually turning unpleasant, Itachi Uchiha spoke in a deep voice: "So, if I ask you not to tell Sasuke the truth about the Uchiha clan, you won't agree?"

Mavis didn't back down at all: "Of course! Whether out of friendship or my own thoughts, I will never be like you, presumptuously making decisions for Sasuke!"

Itachi Uchiha frowned, sensing a deep sense of unease.

But he still tried his best to persuade Mavis: "Knowing the truth would only hurt Sasuke again. Why not let Sasuke believe that he has finally killed his evil brother, successfully avenged the Uchiha clan, and then return to Konoha as a hero? Wouldn't that be better?"

Itachi's words not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but instead provoked Mavis's anger.

She looked at Itachi Uchiha in disbelief, and when she realized that he really thought so, Mavis laughed angrily: "I originally thought that Sasuke having an older brother who slaughtered his entire clan was the worst thing, but I never expected that this older brother would want his younger brother to kill his last relative with his own hands and then return to Konoha to continue living without knowing anything about it."

Mavis closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her anger had subsided. She looked at the stubborn and arrogant Uchiha Itachi and said calmly, "Compared to you, Zeref could even be considered a good older brother."

Seeing Itachi's increasingly grim expression, Mavis added, "However, I will wait until the right time to tell Sasuke the truth, not for your sake, but to wait until Sasuke has enough strength and rationality to make a decision."

Itachi Uchiha breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Even though the negotiations with Mavis had reached a stalemate, thankfully Mavis wouldn't tell Sasuke the truth for the time being.

Itachi Uchiha frowned. He would have to think of another way. He absolutely could not let Mavis tell Sasuke the truth!

……

As Kisame gradually regained consciousness, he lifted his face from the ground, and his vision gradually became clearer.

What he saw was Itachi Uchiha and Mavis sitting under the tree chatting. Seeing the seemingly harmonious atmosphere between the two, Kisame Hoshigaki felt a tightness in his chest.

No, it seems you've turned enemies into friends. Why don't you help me up first?

Forget about Mr. Itachi, but I thought that little girl was just being polite, but it turns out it was all an act too!

Actually, Kisame misunderstood Mavis. After reaching a temporary consensus on not telling Sasuke the truth, Itachi Uchiha withdrew Tsukuyomi.

Upon returning to reality, Itachi Uchiha swayed as if he were about to collapse.

Mavis instinctively stepped forward to support Itachi Uchiha. Feeling Itachi's slightly trembling body, Mavis was taken aback and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? Mr. Itachi?"

Itachi covered his left eye with his hand, and bright red blood kept seeping out from between his fingers.

Feeling the intense pain in his left eye, Itachi replied, "It's nothing, just the price of using Tsukuyomi."

Tsukuyomi already takes a heavy toll on Itachi's body, not to mention the immense strain of battling Mavis's mental power within the Tsukuyomi space.

At this moment, Itachi felt that everything in front of him was foggy, and even Mavis's face was somewhat blurry in his vision.

This time, the consumption of my eye power was too great...

Mavis frowned and helped Itachi to rest under a tree, asking, "Does using the Sharingan have such severe side effects? The Uchiha Madara we met before didn't seem to have any side effects at all."

Itachi Uchiha, who also witnessed the Konoha Crush plan in his memories, explained: "That was the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, formed by the fusion of the ocular power of Madara Uchiha's two eyes after he stole his younger brother's Mangekyou Sharingan. It is the strongest eye without any side effects."

As he spoke, Itachi glanced at Mavis again, implying, "Sasuke will have eyes like these in the future too."

Therefore, hiding the truth from Sasuke is the best option.

Clearly, Itachi Uchiha had not given up on persuading Mavis to keep the truth a secret.

Mavis, who understood, said expressionlessly, "Sasuke wouldn't want his brother's eyes."

Mavis then thought of how Madara Uchiha held his younger brother tightly in his arms when he was enveloped in the light of the fairy's law.

She said with almost certainty, "That Uchiha Madara doesn't seem like the kind of person who would steal his brother's eyes."

After resting for a moment, Itachi Uchiha lowered his left hand that was covering his eyes, bloodstains still remaining on his face.

He said calmly, "The truth is no longer known, unless Jelf uses the history of the corpses again."

Seeing that Itachi Uchiha had regained some of his strength, Mavis noticed Kisame Hoshigaki, who was still lying face down on the ground. After thinking for a moment, she prepared to get up and help Kisame up, but Itachi stopped her.

Looking at Mavis's frail frame and Kisame's tall, heavy body, Itachi decisively said, "Don't worry, lying down is better for Kisame's recovery and will help him wake up sooner. We should thank you for showing mercy."

After all, Itachi now had some understanding of magic, and he knew very well just how powerful the Fairy Radiance was when used at full strength.

As long as the issue of how to treat Sasuke is not involved, Mavis and Itachi Uchiha can still communicate peacefully.

When Kisame regained consciousness, what he saw was the two seemingly having a friendly conversation.
