MenuCHAPTER 386 - My New Light Itachi’s mentioning of the final secret of the Mangekyou Sharingan confuses Sasuke as he had originally believed that the secret was about being able to control the Kyuubi. Itachi tells Sasuke that 
the secret is the last and most important piece of
the puzzle to the destiny of those of the Uchiha clan.Itachi pauses a moment and stares at his younger brother. His image of Sasuke is blurred and dark – the blindness caused by the Mangekyou Sharingan has already severely deteriorated Itachi’s vision. Itachi then begins telling Sasuke a story about their clan’s history, one that predates the founding of Konoha. The central  players
in this story are
Madara Uchiha and one other – his younger brother (who is not
named). The two brothers were equal in all the skills of a
shinobi, and constantly competed to best one another. They
both awakened their Sharingans at an early age and were recognized as
geniuses among their fellow clansmen. They
continued to
refine their skills and eventually gained the power of the Mangekyou
Sharingan through the process of murdering their friends.No other Uchiha had ever obtained the Mangekyou before, so the brothers took control of the clan with Madara becoming the leader. However, Madara soon discovered the side effect of using the powers of the Mangekyou Sharingan - he 
began to go blind. Madara tried
everything he could to try to regain his sight, but it was all in
vain. Finally, Madara became desperate, and having been
possessed by the Mangekyou, he plucked out the eyes of his own brother
to replace his own.
The light returned to Madara’s eyes, but also
granted him new
powers. His Mangekyou Sharingan was now permanent and also
gave birth to a completely new eye technique. This is the
final secret behind the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan: gaining
an eternal Mangekyou Sharingan through the sacrifice of a
sibling. Itachi mentions that this transplant of the
Sharingan is only possible between fellow Uchiha clansmen.
Also, gaining another person’s eyes does not equate to
gaining his powers.
With his new powers, Madara took control of every other
shinobi clan
the Uchihas encountered. Eventually, he formed an alliance
with the formidable Senju clan of the forest and formed a new
organization that would become known as the Hidden Leaf. The
leader of the Senju was none other than the First Hokage of
Konoha. However, he and Madara soon began to quarrel over the
future policies of Konoha. This ultimately culminated in an
epic battle at the Valley of the End where
Madara was
defeated. But Madara did not die that day, for he was somehow
able to achieve a form of immortality through the Mangekyou.
He abandoned his clan and left Konoha to form a new organization:
Akatsuki. Madara hid his identity under Akatsuki’s
shadow but secretly directed its actions and goals. It was
Madara who was responsible for unleashing the Kyuubi onto Konoha 16
years ago. But his plans were once again stopped, this time
by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who sealed the Nine-Tails inside
his own son, Naruto.
Itachi finishes telling his tale, but says that he believes
the current
Madara is only a shell of his former self and no longer worthy of being
called the greatest Uchiha. Itachi believes that he himself
is destined to surpass Madara and bring the powers of the Mangekyou to
the next level. But to achieve this goal, Itachi first needs
Sasuke; or rather he needs Sasuke’s eyes. In an
outburst of emotion never seen before, Itachi shouts at Sasuke like a
crazed maniac that he will be his “new light.”
Sasuke will be the one to provide him with a new pair of Sharingan eyes
so that he may regain his full vision and achieve a permanent Mangekyou
Sharingan.
The image of a demonic creature with two sets of eye sockets
manifests
behind Itachi, one set of eyes is filled by Sharingan eyes while the
other set remains empty. Itachi continues his wild outburst
and claims that the Uchihas have traditionally been murdering their
friends and siblings in order to obtain the Mangekyou and to make its
power eternal. In its lust for power, the Uchiha clan has
stained its hands with the blood of its own and is cursed to repeat
this
cursed destiny. Itachi announces that once he has
killed
Sasuke and stole his eyes, he will finally be able to escape the
wretched destiny of their clan and expand his powers to unimaginable
levels. Itachi tells Sasuke that they were born to be each
other’s “spare” and that this is the bond
shared between all Uchiha brothers. The hair of the demonic
creature suddenly comes to life and wraps around Sasuke. The
strands of hair form into a claw shape that draws closer and closer to
Sasuke’s left eye.
Sasuke closes his eyes and dispels the genjutsu that he witnessed of the crazed version of Itachi. Itachi, still calmly standing in front of him, asks if Sasuke got a glimpse of his true self. Sasuke removes the bandages on his head and his black cloak. With cold but resolute Sharingan eyes, Sasuke stares back at Itachi and announces that it will all end here. Thanks for Reading.
