Spiritual destruction

“Since he took a bite of your Tsukiyomi, I think it’s be impossible for that younger brother to come back.”

However, Itachi shook his head.

“No...in some cases, one can recover even without a strong spirit or excellent medical ninjutsu.”

“Oh, what is it?” *

“It’s called ‘love’. “ *

As a result, Kisame gave a small, silly laugh for a moment.

“Love...is it? I never thought I’d hear that word from cool headed you. I didn’t think it was so easy to change.”

“Granting feelings to other people can have a large influence outside them. My Tsukiyomi is spiritual destruction via genjutsu. Recovery isn’t impossible if you can reconnect the spirit.” *

With a strong feeling, your opponent could be saved, but it wasn’t feasible without loving affection.

As he listened to that, Kisame murmured “I see.”

“Could that be the case with the older brother?”

 “It’s said it can’t be said that there is no possibility.* There’s no evidence to the story. To think Tsukiyomi could be overcome by such a simple technique. However, that means I won’t know the result until the end.”

 At Itachi’s reply, Kisame laughed with a sigh.

“You point out the possibilities yourself, but you’re also the one who deny it. Itachi-san, your way of thinking is complicated and mysterious as ever.” *

 “By the way,” Kisame continued.

“When we first met, ‘we won’t know what kind of person we are until our last moment…’ You said that, right? So that means, now, we are in a situation when we don’t even know about ourselves. Then, because we don’t even know about ourselves, we couldn’t expect to understand other people….. Is that what you wanted to say, Itachi-san?”
