- The back and forth of Nemui attacking and Itachi dodging gracefully lasted
- about ten minutes. Just when people in the arena were starting to fuss about
- the lack of any real developments, it happened.
- Nemui stopped abruptly, shook faintly, and lifted his closed eyelids the
- tiniest bit. Their eyes met.
- This was the moment Itachi had been waiting for. He poured his chakra
- into his eyes.
- Sharingan. It took less than a hundredth of a second to activate. Itachi was
- betting on that moment. He hammered into Nemui’s pupils the detailed
- image he had drawn in his mind while dodging attacks.
- “Eee!” Nemui shrieked. Awake for a mere instant, he fell asleep once
- more.
- I did it ...
- He slipped around from the rear, and slit Nemui’s throat with his kunai.
- The image Itachi had imagined so faithfully, down to the very last detail,
- became reality, replaying in his enemy’s mind. Nemui died, his throat slashed. But he was aware that he was still alive, and he opened his eyes again. But he couldn’t sleep as soundly anymore.
- Itachi dodged Nemui’s attacks for a few minutes, but then his opponent’s
- eyelids fluttered once more. In an instant, his field of view was dyed red.
- This time, the image was of Itachi gouging into his stomach.
- Repeat.
- Each time he was killed, Nemui’s sleep grew lighter. Stabbed, strangled,
- beaten, poisoned; Itachi killed the boy any and every way possible.
- Finally, Nemui couldn’t sleep at all. If he closed his eyes, Itachi would kill
- him. After being subjected to brutal deaths over and over and over, he was
- now completely ruled by his fear of the final sleep.
- “Eee ... Eee ... Eee ...” Chest heaving, almost hyperventilating, Nemui
- trembled and shook.
- The spectators had no idea what was happening. At best, only a few people
- there had realized Itachi was using the sharingan.
- Itachi continued to evade his attacks, while Nemui’s movements gradually
- grew sluggish. Sweat streamed down Nemui’s face; he started to cry. Itachi
- hadn’t once used a physical attack on him.
- “H-help me,” Nemui groaned in supplication. He fell to his knees and
- began weeping loudly. “I-I don’t want to die anymore! Please, help
- me ... Please.”
- “We have a winner!” The examiner stepped in between the two of them.
