Chapter 115 The Crow Clone Technique
Itachi stared at the huge screen in front of him.
The Sasuke in the picture looks to be around twelve years old, much older than when he left Konoha, which should be Sasuke's current age.
What Itachi was more concerned about was another "Uchiha Itachi" in the picture.
Itachi frowned, carefully examining the youthful version of himself in the image, a strange and complex feeling welling up inside him.

On the screen, Itachi, with a warm smile, sat at the dining table, watching Sasuke eat breakfast with a doting gaze.
He would thoughtfully use his chopsticks to put food on Sasuke's plate from time to time, saying, "Eat more, Sasuke."
Sasuke looked up at his brother with a bright smile and said in a crisp voice, "Thank you, Nii-san!"
Beside her, Mikoto looked at the two brothers' respectful sons with a sense of satisfaction and couldn't help but sigh, "You two brothers have such a good relationship."
Across the table, Fugaku Uchiha, though his father had a stern face, gave a soft hum, seemingly unconcerned, but a hint of tenderness in his eyes betrayed his inner satisfaction and pride.
Warm morning light streamed through the window onto the family, and the steaming rice and miso soup on the table emitted an enticing aroma.
The scene of Sasuke's family having breakfast was indescribably harmonious and intimate, like a picture of the most ordinary and happy family in the world.
Itachi was somewhat dazed.
Recalling his childhood memories, his father, Fugaku, almost always had a furrowed brow.
Not only my father, but every Uchiha in the clan back then rarely smiled and had a solemn expression.
He had never experienced such a joyful atmosphere since he could remember.
The scene that appeared on the screen at this moment was both strange and alluring, like a dream.
This warm and cozy daily life is exactly what he longed for most in his youth.
Unfortunately, reality presented him with endless responsibilities and sacrifices, making happiness a luxury he could only dream of but never attain.
What exactly is going on?
As Itachi gazed at the unreal, heartwarming scene before him, a wave of bewildered and bittersweet emotions welled up deep within his chest, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Itachi Uchiha have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
However, as a genius ninja on par with Kakashi, Itachi Uchiha quickly calmed down and began to analyze the situation before him.
The camera followed Sasuke's every move, clearly showing that everything revolved around Sasuke.
Could this be Sasuke's dream?
Or perhaps someone kidnapped Sasuke and created this beautiful illusion for him?
Thinking of this, Itachi's brows furrowed even more.
What exactly happened to Sasuke?
Is he safe or not?

After breakfast, Sasuke excitedly dragged Itachi to the Uchiha clan's training ground.
The morning air was still fresh with dew, and the two brothers stood facing each other in the center of the training field.
The surrounding area is an open space with several wooden stakes for practice, and human-shaped targets and scattered shuriken can be seen on the sidelines.
The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and glistening dewdrops clung to the blades of grass, making the air exceptionally fresh.
Itachi smiled slightly and asked, "Sasuke, what do you want to practice today? Continue practicing Fire Release, or genjutsu?"
Sasuke shook his head, a hint of excitement flashing across his face. "I don't want to practice those today, I—" He gazed intently at Itachi, "I want to learn that Crow Clone Technique!"
"The Crow Clone Technique?"
Itachi raised an eyebrow, clearly somewhat surprised.
Sasuke nodded vigorously, his expression resolute.
"Yeah! Last time when you sparred with Shisui-nii-san, I saw him corner you and you were about to lose."
Suddenly, you transformed into a flock of crows with a "whoosh," scattering and causing Shisui-nii-san to miss completely—that move was truly amazing!
When Sasuke recalled that sparring match, his voice was full of admiration, "I want to learn that move too!"
Itachi shook his head slightly upon hearing this: "Sasuke, the Crow Clone Technique is no ordinary clone technique."
He crouched down to look his younger brother in the eye and explained earnestly, "This technique needs to be used in conjunction with illusion magic to achieve its best effect. It may not be too difficult to learn, but mastering it is not so simple."
"It's okay!" Sasuke said without backing down. "No matter how difficult it is, I want to learn!"
Seeing his younger brother's eagerness, Itachi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately could not resist Sasuke's pleading and had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Alright, since you want to learn so much, let's give it a try."
"Great!" Sasuke excitedly punched his fist.
Itachi smiled slightly, stood up and said, "However, if you want to learn the Crow Clone Technique, you must first learn the Summoning Technique: Crow, and then sign a contract with the summoning beast, a crow."
Then, Itachi began to explain to Sasuke the principles and training steps of the Crow Clone Technique, step by step.
He began by explaining the basics of spirit communication, detailing how to summon crows through hand seals and how to enter into a spirit contract with them.
"also--"
Itachi explained and demonstrated at the same time, unhurriedly, "The Crow Clone Technique has another advantage. Because this ninjutsu is performed using summoned crows, it is very chakra-efficient. Compared to a regular clone technique, the amount of chakra required is negligible. Before using this technique, you need to first—"
Itachi patiently explained, sharing all his insights on the crow clone technique.
In the VIP audience seats.
When Itachi Uchiha heard his dream self explain the Crow Clone Technique so skillfully, just two sentences were enough to give him a jolt.
I almost doubted my own ears.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Itachi Uchiha have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
The "Itachi" in the dream actually spoke the real truth.
Some of the details were analyzed even more profoundly than his own understanding!
It's important to understand that the Crow Clone Technique is different from other ordinary Uchiha Fire Release or Genjutsu; it's not some Uchiha clan secret technique.
It is not a regular ninjutsu passed down in Konoha.
Just as Itachi in the dream said, this is a technique developed to complement illusions and confuse enemies; it is a secret technique that Itachi tailored for himself!
Uchiha Itachi was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
If all of this is truly Sasuke's dream, then why would Sasuke know about this technique that he himself has never revealed to anyone else?
Conversely, if this is an illusion created by someone else, how did they know about the secret technique he personally developed?!
In the scene, as Itachi patiently explains in the dream, Sasuke begins to learn with great interest.
It must be admitted that Sasuke's talent is indeed well-deserved.
For Sasuke, learning a ninjutsu that wasn't too difficult was as easy as breathing.
He focused intently on forming hand seals and gathering chakra as instructed by Itachi. After a moment, he suddenly shouted, "Crow Clone Technique!"
"Snap!" With a burst of white smoke, Sasuke's figure suddenly transformed into a flock of fluttering crows!
Amidst the sky filled with black feathers, the boy Sasuke who had been standing vanished without a trace.
In the blink of an eye, the flock of crows regrouped in the air, and Sasuke appeared unharmed beside him, having successfully executed the Crow Clone Technique in the correct manner!
Witnessing his younger brother perfectly execute his unique ninjutsu, Itachi Uchiha was utterly shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Sasuke—he actually learned it?!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Itachi Uchiha have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
in the audience.
Sakura's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Sasuke is amazing! He's learned another new ninjutsu so quickly!"
"Tch—Sasuke's learned another cool new move." Naruto, standing to the side, looked at the triumphant Sasuke in the arena, his words full of envy and sour resentment.
The "Crow Clone" technique that Sasuke just used.
Naruto has seen it too, and it really is incredibly cool!
In times of crisis, they can transform into a flock of crows and escape unscathed.
Naruto pursed his lips and sighed inwardly.
Sasuke's two older brothers are really amazing. Either of them can use ninjutsu that is both cool and powerful!
The last time, Shisui summoned a giant samurai Naruto covered in green armor. I still remember it vividly and thought it was incredibly cool.
On second thought, I realized that my psychic abilities could only summon all sorts of toads.
He thought it was pretty impressive when he saw Naruto using a toad to fight in his dream.
But everything is subject to comparison; compared to Sasuke's side—
Sasuke's two older brothers, one can summon a green armored giant, and the other can transform into a swarm of crows that appear and disappear unpredictably.
And Naruto Uzumaki... can only play with toads. [Ding! Naruto Uzumaki's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Naruto couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
hateful!
Why is it that Sasuke always manages to learn such cool ninjutsu?!
Why don't I have such a great older brother to teach me things!
What's most infuriating is that many of the ninjutsu Sasuke learns require the power of the Sharingan, so even if he wanted to learn them, he couldn't!
Meanwhile, Kakashi, the Sharingan user, was watching intently and absorbed.
For no other reason than that.
Itachi explained that because this ninjutsu is released using crows, it is particularly chakra-efficient.
Let's leave the rest aside.
Can it save chakra?
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
This immediately piqued Kakashi's interest.
