Chapter 265 is about Uchiha Haruko, right?
As evening approached, a faint knocking sound could be heard at the door.
Uchiha Itachi finally came to his senses. He slowly got up, walked through the many corridors, and approached the door.
As he reached out to push the door open, he paused for some reason.
A strange yet extremely strong intuition arose within Itachi Uchiha, causing him to slow down his movements and push open the door with a mixture of inexplicable tension and anticipation.
What came into full view was a pretty, smiling face.
The face that had faded from my memory suddenly became clear: gentle features, delicate brow bones, almond-shaped eyes full of sparkling stars, and... a large, exquisitely beautiful swallow on the side of her hair.
It's her appearance, it's my aunt's appearance.
It looks like... Haruko.
As if from another world, a melodious and clear voice rang out: "Itachi-nii, is Sasuke home?"
Uchiha Itachi looked down at her, his narrowed pupils trembling slightly. He was speechless for a long time, completely unaware of his loss of composure.
His hand gripping the door tightened unconsciously, his eyes fixed on Haruko Hayama as she entered.
The beautiful face I always looked up at seemed unchanged, except that his perspective had changed to looking down.
But... how could that be...?
"Itachi? Itachi?"
Seeing that Itachi Uchiha was staring at her without saying a word, Haruko called out to him a few times in confusion.
As if waking from a dream, Uchiha Itachi stepped aside to make way for her.
"Sasuke... in the room."
His halting speech sounded as if he hadn't quite caught his breath, and even Haruko's steps as she walked in were somewhat hesitant.
She waved tentatively, "Then I'll go find him first?"
Meeting her bright eyes in the dim light, Itachi Uchiha nodded subconsciously.
After Haruko walked past him into the corridor in the morning, Itachi finally looked away. He then hurriedly closed the door and caught up with her.
After keeping some distance from Haruko Hayama, Itachi Uchiha was unable to get any closer.
Everything that has happened so far seems too unreal, like a dream, unlike the real world.
Itachi Uchiha even wondered if he would wake up from the dream in the next second.
Upon waking, he discovered that the memories of Kaleidoscope and Haruko only existed in his dreams, and that he had no connection with them whatsoever.
It's all fake.
Even the image of my aunt's beautiful and joyful back will blur and melt away.
"aunt……"
Itachi Uchiha's low, hoarse voice couldn't help but betray his emotions.
Her figure ahead became blurry, covered by a layer of mist. Itachi Uchiha's heart tightened, fearing that she would disappear before his eyes.
Then he realized that it was his own tears that blurred her image.
"What?"
Haruko turned her head, unsure if he had said anything.
Her eyes were too clear and pure, so clean that Itachi Uchiha couldn't see anything in them at all.
Uchiha Itachi shook his head slightly, and after she turned back, he slowed his pace even further.
Until it stops.
I watched her leave my sight, as if she had vanished into thin air.
aunt……
Haruko passed by the kitchen in the morning and caught a glimpse of Mikoto Uchiha cooking. She greeted her.
"Good afternoon, Auntie! I'm going to find Sasuke now!"
"Haruko's here..." Mikoto Uchiha smiled and turned to greet her.
As she caught her bright smile disappear behind the door, Uchiha Mikoto froze on the spot, the plate in her hand falling vertically and crashing to the ground with a loud thud.
"Haruko?!"
The shattered pieces of the plate scattered radially, several of them grazing Mikoto Uchiha's feet, the stinging pain bringing her back to her senses.
Mikoto Uchiha panicked for a moment, her hands trembling as she tried to pick it up, but she couldn't help but look up at the door.
The next person to appear at the door was Itachi Uchiha, who had come to investigate after hearing the noise.
As he glanced at his mother's flustered expression and reddened eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of reality.
He wasn't the only one who saw his aunt appear...
The appearance of her son was like a lifeline for Mikoto Uchiha.
She hurriedly asked, "Is that Haruko?"
Seeing Itachi Uchiha nod, Mikoto Uchiha's eyes became even redder.
Her voice trembled as she asked again, "It's... Uchiha Haruko, isn't it?"
Itachi Uchiha did not answer, perhaps because he could not give a definite answer, or perhaps because he was afraid of giving a definite answer.
A silence fell over the room. Itachi Uchiha walked to his mother's side, knelt down, and helped her clean up the floor.
As he picked them up, he heard his mother's sobs, which she was trying to suppress.
A hard piece of debris pricked his hand, but he seemed oblivious and stiffly continued tidying up.
...
In the dimly lit building, Sasuke Uchiha turned his head and saw himself wearing a black robe, standing alone in the dark corridor.
"I always thought I knew you well, but it seems I don't know you very well after all..."
A familiar, clear voice came from the other side. Sasuke Uchiha looked up and realized that someone had been standing right in front of him at some point.
Is it... Haruko Hayama?
What is she doing here? And... why am I here?
Before Uchiha Sasuke could figure out what was going on, he saw himself throw a kunai at the opposite side, slashing Haruko Hayama before piercing the ground.
Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened in disbelief that he had hurt her.
He tried to struggle and regain control of his body.
But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move. Only his vision was free; the scene in front of him seemed to be veiled in mist.
He heard himself ask, "What am I to you... anyway?"
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha paused for a moment.
Before feeling ashamed, the tension and anticipation that swept through Uchiha Sasuke's heart as he spoke about a secret and unknown question.
He stared intently at Haruko Hayama across from him; her figure was somewhat ethereal, and her face was gradually becoming indistinct.
"He's my most important friend!"
Her firm voice echoed down the corridor, the fading echoes somehow leaving Uchiha Sasuke somewhat disappointed.
Before he could investigate this inexplicable disappointment, Haruko's voice in the morning became like a recording that had been polished by time, filled with an unreal and ethereal quality.
"Wait for me to come back, Sasuke..."
return?
What are you coming back for?
Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes, and the wooden ceiling of the room came into view.
In the silence, two memories swirled and clashed in his mind. Uchiha Sasuke frowned, rubbing his throbbing forehead as he sat up in bed.
It's that feeling again, and those inexplicable images again...
First it was the Uchiha clan massacre, this time it's the Uchiha coup. What exactly is the Sharingan trying to tell him?
Everything felt so real, even more real than last time, so real that he almost thought it had just happened.
How could that be?
The Uchiha had no reason to launch a coup. The world of the Sharingan was completely different from what he had experienced and fundamentally different from his memories.
not to mention……
Recalling the confrontation between him and Haruko Hayama in the scene, Sasuke Uchiha silently got out of bed.
