Uchiha Fugaku carried Uchiha Mikoto, who was crying and pulling at his chest, to the bedroom. Sakura, with a sly look in her eyes, quietly followed in the direction of Uchiha Fugaku's departure.

"What are you going to do?!" Uchiha Itachi grabbed Sakura, sensing that she was up to something.

"Don't you want to know?" Sakura grinned. "Doesn't Itachi want to know how Fugaku comforts Mikoto?"

"Not at all!" Uchiha Itachi was unmoved. Although he was only thirteen years old, he was not ignorant of everything. He wasn't interested in eavesdropping on his own father's private moments, especially when it came to matters of the heart.

"Well then, can you please go and get Izumi to come over? I want to see if I can activate her Mangekyo Sharingan with my Mind Stone!" Sakura said.

"Izumi is still young. There's no need to rush things," Uchiha Itachi replied, avoiding Sakura's request. The scene he witnessed in his father's mind earlier was hard enough to accept. If it happened again, and he was the main character, he might go crazy.

"Don't worry, Itachi. I won't use that scene again. Using the same scene twice is boring!" Sakura assured him. She planned to use a different approach this time. Having watched so many heart-wrenching TV dramas and novels in her past life, she found it easy to come up with a plot. She would amplify Uchiha Izumi's emotions with the Mind Stone and trigger her Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Okay then." Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment before turning to leave and find Uchiha Izumi.

In the Mind Stone space, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, and Sakura stood there while Uchiha Izumi sat cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed. Snowflakes flashed across the sky, and then a figure appeared.

"Is this the Ninja Academy?" the figure asked.

Uchiha Itachi and Shisui recognized the classroom in the screen immediately.

Uchiha Izumi secretly glanced at Uchiha Itachi beside her, but quickly looked away when he turned his head. Uchiha Itachi felt a sense of satisfaction seeing her act like a fangirl.

The scene kept changing. Uchiha Izumi, who had a crush on Uchiha Itachi, was assigned to the same class as him after graduating from the Ninja Academy. Their relationship gradually changed.

"I graduated at the wrong age!" Uchiha Itachi frowned. He didn't spend that many years at the Ninja Academy. He graduated early because he awakened his Sharingan.

"Come on, Itachi. This is a fantasy. It's not supposed to be realistic!" Sakura covered her face. If they followed reality, there would be no tragic love stories.

Uchiha Shisui stood on the side with a stiff smile. Why did he feel so awkward watching this lovey-dovey scene? As a single guy, he couldn't bear it. Uchiha Itachi had already found a girlfriend and was in a committed relationship, while he was still single. He suddenly felt sad.

"Can this scene be painful?" Uchiha Itachi asked, puzzled. He found the scene so sweet that it was almost unbearable. How could it be painful?

"Hehe, Itachi, have you ever heard the saying, 'Don't be fooled by appearances'? The sweeter it is now, the more torturous it will be later. If it's not sweet now, it won't hurt later!" Sakura said with a mysterious smile.

"Also, Itachi, you can learn how to flirt with girls from your fantasy self. Although Izumi likes you very much, if you're always clueless about romance, she might leave you someday. Disappointment accumulates between lovers. Even if she loves you very much, if the disappointment accumulates too much, that love will eventually fade away. Learn to cherish the person in front of you, surprise her occasionally, and pay attention to the details. That's how love can last forever!" Sakura spoke like a love expert, and Uchiha Shisui secretly listened, preparing for his future girlfriend.

"Care about her more?" Uchiha Itachi pondered and decided to go shopping with Uchiha Izumi tomorrow to strengthen their relationship.

In the scene, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi eventually became a couple. They embraced each other tightly under the moonlight, and the scene was beautiful and harmonious. Time passed by, and they had reached the age to discuss marriage. Everything was so perfect, like a dream.

However, good times don't last forever. The dream had to come to an end. During a mission, they encountered a man wearing an eyepatch who was very powerful. All of their companions were killed instantly, leaving only Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi. The man with the eyepatch gave them a choice: kill each other, and the survivor would live.

Uchiha Izumi made up her mind to let Uchiha Itachi kill her. However, at that moment, Uchiha Itachi suddenly rushed towards her with a weapon in his hand. Uchiha Izumi was stunned.

The sound of the blade piercing flesh echoed, and Uchiha Izumi stared at the person who hugged her.

"Izumi, live on well..."

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. In the scene, Uchiha Itachi ran into Uchiha Izumi's blade.

Uchiha Izumi's eyes spun rapidly with three tomoe, and the pain of killing her beloved finally triggered her Mangekyo Sharingan. Three black circles appeared around the outside, and a black line extended from each circle, connecting in the center of the pupil.
