Chapter 288 Sasuke IF Line (10) Killing his brother and revenge on KonohaItachi's words made Sasuke freeze.

Another Uchiha?

But isn't Konoha's official statement that, except for himself and Uchiha Itachi, all other Uchiha clan members were brutally killed?He is the only Uchiha orphan.

There is another one. Who is it?

Can he be with a guy like Itachi, who also possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan?

"That person is"

"Madara Uchiha."

The name burst out of Itachi's mouth, shocking and confusing Sasuke's mind.

Unbelievable and ridiculous.

Of course he had heard of the name "Uchiha Madara". He was a very famous person in the Uchiha clan. Who didn't know this person?He founded the Konohagakure Village together with the first Hokage, and possessed strength that was almost the same as the first.

But this person lived more than 60 years ago.

If he had lived to be at least a hundred years old, even if he could live out his theoretical lifespan and survive until now, how much strength could he retain after being over a hundred years old? Could he still have the ability to annihilate his clan?

It is not impossible that this is the case with such legendary characters.

but..He was once the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

Even this former clan leader wants to destroy the Uchiha clan?With his strength, if he is really as powerful as the legend says, if he wanted to do it, he could have done it a long time ago.

Why wait until now.

"How is that possible?" Sasuke shook his head subconsciously, trying to reject this statement.

Itachi took advantage of his momentary distraction.

Open your mouth.

Tiny chakra fluctuations.

Sasuke's gaze was subconsciously drawn to him.

It was a crow, which came out of the throat with its wings shaking off.

This doesn't seem unusual, as Uchiha Itachi's summoning beast is a crow. But what's unusual is that the eyes of a normal crow are black, but this crow's eyes are scarlet, with complex and strange patterns on them.

In the crow's eyes was a Mangekyō Sharingan.

But this is not Itachi's kaleidoscope.

It is a kaleidoscope made up of four sickles stacked together.

Another person's kaleidoscope.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi said softly, "I didn't want to use this method."

"Wait until this procedure is over."

"I will tell you the whole truth."

The four sickle-shaped kaleidoscopes rotated and projected into Sasuke's eyes.

"Other gods!"

The ritual is activated, invading the mind.

Sasuke shuddered.

There are two different energies flowing in my body. One belongs to the ninja, comes from the body, and is chakra. The other belongs to the god of death, comes from the soul, and is spiritual power.

And now, the spiritual power is functioning normally.

But the chakra was very strange. It felt like it didn't belong to me, as if a foreign object had invaded.

Followed by.

Uchiha Itachi spoke in a calm tone: "From now on, you, Uchiha Sasuke will be completely loyal to the Konohagakure."

Sasuke wondered why Itachi suddenly said such a thing.

Those chakras that made him feel like a foreign body suddenly became active, flowing vigorously in his flesh, like a cat in estrus, "urinating" wantonly, and spreading particles full of information to every part of his body, including his brain.

among themThere is only one piece of information contained in these particles.

That is what Uchiha Itachi said just now.

"Totally loyal to Konoha."

The chakra that was originally supposed to be controlled by myself is now trying to control my body.

He forced Itachi Uchiha's will into his own body.

After implanting this information in the body, Chakra suddenly discovered that this person's soul was still clean, without any "urine stains" left by himself, eager to rush in and defile it.

Sasuke exclaimed.

While controlling the spiritual power, he wrapped his soul and isolated it from the invasion of chakra.

One looked confused.

He didn't know how he should react after being hit by this technique.

Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi didn't seem to be aware of it, or he believed very much in the power of this technique and felt that as long as he performed it, it would be 100% successful.

That’s actually fine.

As long as they are ninjas, as long as they have chakra in their bodies, they will be controlled.

But Sasuke is special. There is another kind of power in his soul that can protect himself.

"I don't have much time." Uchiha Itachi coughed twice, "Now you have Shisui's eyes to correct your thoughts."

"I can tell you about those things."

Blood kept flowing from his mouth and he looked to the right.

There is a chakra approaching over there.

It belongs to Hoshigaki Kisame.

Just now, the two of them used Susanoo to move farther away from the battlefield. After the technique was dissolved, he was able to track down the two people's specific location.

but now.This is not the time to let him get close.

Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, mobilized the last of his chakra, and input it into his eyes.

"Amaterasu!"

The pitch-black flames surged and swirled, enveloping the area where the two brothers were.

Hoshigaki Kisame stopped and stared at the tall wall of fire, frowning.

badItachi's situation is a little tricky.

It seems like I am about to lose a very good teammate.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry." Itachi raised his hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and pointed forward.

This was a move Sasuke was familiar with.

The affectionate interactions they used to use when they were kids.

It is the love of an elder brother for his younger brother.

Sasuke did not greet it, he even dodged it and stepped back.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes were dim, he was not surprised. The technique just now only changed Sasuke's view of Konoha, but did not change Sasuke's view of himself.

He still loathed and hated himself.

But Sasuke just dodged and didn't continue attacking.

He wants to know the truth.

As long as Itachi didn't know that he wasn't controlled by the technique and thought he had done it, he would tell him the truth.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke. I had no choice but to attack the Uchiha clan." Uchiha Itachi said softly, "During that time, the Uchiha clan was not at peace. They attempted to rebel and subvert the village."

"For the sake of peace and the village, Sasuke, I have to do this."

Sasuke controlled his tone: "For the village?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded and continued: "Peace always comes with sacrifice."

"As for those who joined me in attacking the Uchiha clan, there was indeed Uchiha Madara."

"But that person just called himself Uchiha Madara."

"Be careful of him. He will find you after I die. Don't believe his words."

He didn't give too many instructions.

With "Kotoamatsukami", Sasuke is already firmly bound to Konoha, and no matter whether that man is the real Uchiha Madara, after he slaughtered the Uchiha clan who had not yet rebelled, he became Konoha's enemy.

Uchiha Itachi raised his hand and stabbed his own eyes.

"And these eyes, you can take them."

"Although the Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful, it also has significant side effects. Since you are so proficient in using it, you should have already felt it."

"With every use, vision is permanently and inevitably degraded."

"There is only one way to eliminate this side effect."

The right hand was about to exert force.

Sasuke grabbed and held his wrist.

"Don't talk like that, it's disgusting." Sasuke raised his foot and stepped on Uchiha Itachi's hand, "You are a loser, and how you use everything on you depends on how I use it."

"You are not qualified to make arrangements on your own initiative."

"Now you are being righteous and acting like a good brother. It's really annoying."

Twist your toes and roll over.

Uchiha Itachi groaned and clenched his teeth to prevent himself from screaming out in pain.

"So besides you and that Uchiha Madara, are there other people involved in this?" Sasuke asked softly.

Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything.

"I went to see the corpses of the Uchiha clan. Their eyes were gouged out. Was it you and Uchiha Madara who did it?" Sasuke changed the question.

Uchiha Itachi was stunned and raised his head. This question made him silent for a long time.

But this reaction is very telling.

"Sure enough, Konoha is involved," Sasuke said softly.

In Uchiha Itachi's opinion, Sasuke has been controlled by Kotoamatsukami, and no matter what happens, he will remain 100% loyal to Konoha.

He took a deep breath and said, "The Uchiha clan is about to betray. For the sake of peace, the safety and lives of more people, the village has some coping methods. There is no problem with that."

"As for the eyes."

"It's better to be in Konoha's hands than in someone else's."

Sasuke put more force on his feet, his eyes became dangerous, "Why did the Uchiha clan rebel?"

"This goes back a long time ago." Uchiha Itachi said softly, "After Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara established Konoha, Uchiha Madara suddenly betrayed Konoha and fought the First Hokage in the Valley of the End."

"Since then, the Uchiha clan has gradually become the largest ninja clan in Konoha with the power of the Sharingan."

"But it is precisely because of this that the people in the tribe gradually became arrogant and alienated from the people in the village."

"The Uchiha clan cannot remember the benefits given by the village, but instead remember the meaningless abuse and disgust."

"Gradually, the Uchiha clan began to rebel and planned a rebellion."

Sasuke whispered, "So that's how it is."

"We, the Uchiha clan, are ashamed of Konoha," Uchiha Itachi sighed.

But he didn't finish his words.

Sasuke deadpanned, interrupting him, "That's disgusting."

Uchiha Itachi was stunned.

What does this mean?The Uchiha clan, himself, or Konoha?

"You, and Konoha, are disgusting." Sasuke said softly, "Ashamed?"

"Even with your words that are so biased towards Konoha, what exactly do we, the Uchiha clan, owe Konoha?"

"How can you say such things? Where do you get the courage?"

Uchiha Itachi stared at Sasuke in disbelief.

He didn't care about the torture in these words.

He cares.This was Sasuke's attitude. He clearly still maintained hostility towards Konoha, and after hearing what he had said, his hostility became even greater.

"You are not influenced by other gods!" he exclaimed.

Sasuke lowered his head and looked at me with disgust: "Do you think you can control me with that eye?"

"Itachi Uchiha."

"You are really so disgusting that you don't feel even a little bit of guilt even at this moment?"

"I was still thinking that my brother was going to forgive the culprit who murdered the clan."

The blood loss, lack of oxygen, and the extremely unexpected developments made even Uchiha Itachi begin to feel as if his brain was shutting down.

Shisui's eyes are ineffective!

He answered subconsciously: "The Uchiha clan is going to rebel"

Sasuke interrupted him and kicked his injured hand: "Really?"

"That's not a reason for you to do this."

"Itachi, your last name is Uchiha."

"I can accept Konoha taking action against us, but what you did is unacceptable."

Uchiha Itachi said softly: "Sasuke, as a strong man, you need to be more tolerant."

"Your horizons should not be limited to one family."

“The village is.”

Sasuke interrupted him rudely, "So you chose not to be an Uchiha, and chose to be an Uchiha's dog."

The itachi held on to his injured body and argued between coughs: "It's not a dog."

"No?" Sasuke sneered, "You killed the Uchiha clan for Konoha, and what did you get?"

"S-rank rebel ninja?"

"The hatred from my only relative!"

"Oh, sorry, you're worse than a dog. At least dogs have a home, but you're a stray dog ​​without even a home."

Uchiha Itachi still reluctantly said: "At least the village is peaceful."

Sasuke interrupted him rudely: "Village?"

“Is the village important?”

Uchiha Itachi was stunned. Isn't it important?

"A village is bigger than a family, but because one side is bigger, does that mean we have to ignore the interests and ideas of the smaller side?"

"Does peace gained at the cost of your father and mother's lives really have any meaning?" He paused for a moment and said sternly, "Is something gained at the cost of some people's forced sacrifices really peace?"

"It's just using butcher knives, violence, and war to kill some people and make them speechless."

"The so-called peace is nothing but a false lie of a bully."

“Vision and capacity.”

He repeated the two words that Uchiha Itachi had just said.

"Are you qualified to say such things?"

"You can see others but not yourself, and you are so self-righteous as to sacrifice the interests of those who are related to you in exchange for the interests of those who are not related to you. Is this called magnanimity?"

Sasuke grasped the knife and lifted it upwards.

"It's really shallow and childish."

Uchiha Itachi widened his eyes and stopped talking. The things that came out of Sasuke's mouth made his stable worldview somewhat shattered.

Bully.Before this, he had never considered it from this perspective.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the similarities are quite large.

Sasuke looked cold.

He doesn't care about these things, such as whether to care about the interests of the smaller ones, whether to be active or passive, or whether to have the capacity or vision.In Soul Society and in the Second Division, he had seen too many things that were beyond his control, and had experienced too many helpless and dark things.

He did not deny that he had double standards.

I don’t care what others think, but I care a lot about my own thoughts.

The reason why I want to say so much is still the same reason as before.

He wanted to completely and utterly deny Uchiha Itachi.

This damn guy.Sasuke flipped his hand, grasped the hilt of the knife, and placed it on Uchiha Itachi's neck: "Now, do you have any last words?"

"Do you want to make any further excuses?"

Uchiha Itachi turned his head and said nothing, his eyes were bloodshot and no expression could be seen.

But Sasuke understood.

He grinned.

This man may not feel that he is wrong yet, but at least his goal has been achieved. The words he just said have denied a part of his survival in his previous life.

He denied the value he had contributed to Konoha as a ninja by betraying the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke raised his sword high.

The sharp blade slashed down, without mercy——

He didn't want to hear Uchiha Itachi apologize. It was meaningless. Apologizing for something that had already happened was meaningless and humiliating.

A head rolled to the ground.

Rolling to Sasuke's feet.

He bent down, picked it up, took out the eyeball, and put it in a glass bottle close to his body.

The pair of kaleidoscopes of the brothers can be taken a step further after being transplanted.

Sasuke held the bottle, feeling a little heavy.

He tilted his head, and wherever his eyes fell, the black Amaterasu flames surrounding them immediately dissipated, leaving only the earth that had been burned to a dry white color and turned into layers of powder.

The only spectator disappeared at this moment.

It seemed that when the Amaterasu flame blocked his way, he realized the fate of Uchiha Itachi, and knew that if he stayed, he would definitely follow in Uchiha Itachi's footsteps. It would be best to escape while the two brothers were fighting.

Sasuke gave him a cold look and turned away.

It was almost half an hour after he left.

With a "puff" sound——

A hand dug out from the stump, pushed aside the bark, and walked out.

It's the man with the shark face.

Hoshigaki Kisame frowned and scratched his head: "Did that Uchiha Sasuke just now discover us?"

There was only one figure, but he used the personal pronoun "we".

But around, another person's voice came out: "They probably didn't notice me, but they should have noticed you."

From another tree, half of a body popped out, one black and one white, with a pitcher plant-like decoration on its head.

"How perceptive." Hoshigaki Kisame narrowed his eyes, "I'm hiding in Samehada."

"But it was really unexpected that they didn't attack us."

The pitcher plant-like man tilted his head, thinking: "His target is not us."

"What is that?" Hoshigaki Kisame shook his body and put on his robe, "Itachi is from our Akatsuki."

"It's Konoha, right?" the Yin-Yang said softly.

Konoha Village.

In the heart of the Fire Nation, close to the Fire Nation's capital.

As the only military base in the Land of Fire, it was in ruins after the "Konoha Subversion Plan" not long ago.

On the Ninja School playground.

Naruto was beaming with joy. He suddenly realized that this was not a bad thing. At least because of this incident, his relationship with Sakura became much closer. They had a lot of time alone every day and even practiced together.

after all--

Among their classmates, they are the only two who have to repeat a grade.

I don’t know my new classmates and I can’t integrate into the environment.

Haruno Sakura looked much more haggard.

"Sakura, don't worry, I will bring Sasuke back!" Naruto patted his chest and made a promise. Although his attitude was a bit exaggerated, he was training seriously now. At least he really thought so and was really doing it.

Haruno Sakura sighed.

Of course she saw Naruto's efforts.

only.This kind of thing can't be achieved by just working hard.

No matter how hard a loser tries, how can he compare to the Uchiha who is more talented than him.

What should I do.

If only Sasuke could return to Konoha.

at the same time.

Outside of Konoha Village, Sasuke, whom Haruno Sakura was thinking about, stopped in the forest.

He stared at the broken door.

From Uchiha Itachi's words, it has been confirmed that Konoha was involved in the "Uchiha clan genocide", and there is no doubt that those Sharingans were taken away by Konoha's people, but the question is, who did it?

The third Hokage?

It could be him.

But even if it was really him, this person is already dead.

It is impossible that only one person was involved in this matter.

Maybe not everyone in Konoha is a perpetrator, but at least not all of them are innocent.

Sasuke took a deep breath.

I still know too little about Konoha. I don't even know what else exists in the village besides the Hokage, Jonin, and Genin.

Instead of guessing by yourself, it’s better to be more direct.

Anyway, with my current strengthEven if it's Konoha, it shouldn't be a big problem.

He stretched out his hand and pointed it at the gate that Konoha had just repaired.

The word spirit chants.

"Beast bones scattered everywhere! Wheels of red crystal steel on the spire. The moving one is the wind, the still one is the sky. The sound of spears clashing against each other resounds throughout the virtual city!"

"The sixty-third of the broken path, the thunder roar cannon."

Lightning condensed in his palm, forming a ball of electricity, and rushed towards the village.

The chakra mixed with the huge spiritual pressure reaction caused the barrier surrounding the village as a shield to dissipate in an instant and hit the gate without stopping.

"Enemy attack!"

"Extremely powerful ninjutsu, possibly involving more than one person."

"Go notify the jonin squad."

The Konoha ninjas reacted quickly. The moment the ninja on duty saw the thunder ball, he immediately jumped out, formed seals with his hands, and the earth wall rose up.

Can.It's useless.

The serial number is as high as sixty-three, and it is chanted in full. With Sasuke's captain-level spiritual pressure, this Hadō is equivalent to his full-strength attack.

The earth-style ninjutsu of several Chunins were destroyed along with it.

Those who didn't have time to jump away were destroyed along with the earth-style ninjutsu and the gate of the Konoha Village.

Alarm!

A very dangerous signal!Summoning techniques, the ninja himself, and various signal ninjutsu were used to spread the news throughout the village.

Kakashi, who was standing in front of the memorial stone, looked up and followed the sound.

Other jonin also rushed over.

The entrance of Konohagakure.

Smoke, corpses, and fainted ninjas.

The jonin who arrived were shocked.

This is a situation they imagined would happen. After all, the Hokage of Konoha had just died and the new Hokage had not yet taken office. The manpower of Konoha was also greatly lost in this battle. It is very likely that some evildoers would have some evil ambitions against Konoha.

only.It came so quickly and so urgently.

And so openly, they broke in through the main gate.

who is it?

Iwagakure?

Or Yunyin?

Most likely it was Yunyin. The only people who had the courage to do that were from that village.

The ninjas surrounded the area.

"Who is it?" Nara Shikaku, the squad leader of the Jonin squad and nominally the temporary highest leader of the entire village, asked.

His expression was puzzled.

Although the current situation here is tragic, with so many people injured and dead, the scale of the enemy is not quite what he expected at the beginning.

I thought the enemy invading Konoha would be a large army or several elite ninjas.

Can.Although the smoke and dust covered the place.

But vaguely, it can be seen that there seems to be only one enemy.

"You should know me." A voice came from the smoke and dust.

Hatake Kakashi was stunned. The voice sounded familiar. He had communicated with him not long ago.

Yes--

As the wind blew, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the person underneath the smoke and dust.

Kimono, long sword, scarlet eyes.

It was Uchiha Sasuke.

"The traitor Uchiha Sasuke!" Without Kakashi saying anything, a senior ninja stretched out his hand and recognized him.

The special bloodline limit of "Sharingan" is so recognizable.

Especially now, there are only two people who possess this kind of bloodline limit.

The person who could appear in Konoha was undoubtedly that person.

"How dare you come back!"

"You have injured and killed so many people. Your crime is unforgivable. You can't leave today."

They were talking at once and pointing fingers.

Nara Shikaku frowned.

He felt that things were not that simple. Not to mention that Sasuke came back again in such a short time after his defection. It was this kind of open and aboveboard attack on the gate of Konoha Village with only one person.Why do you do this?Do you think Konoha’s current strength is not enough to defeat him?"Sasuke, why are you doing this?" Hatake Kakashi bent his waist with his hands on the ninja tool bag. If it was not necessary, he did not want to attack Sasuke, even though they were enemies now.

Sasuke raised the knife and flicked it lightly, the blood on it splattered, and said in a cold tone: "The demise of the Uchiha clan is inseparable from Konoha."

"Hand over the people involved in that incident."

A ninja spat, "Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Everyone knows that your Uchiha clan was killed by your brother. Why are you looking for us in Konoha? What does this have to do with us?"

Sasuke reached into his arms.

This small movement made everyone suddenly nervous.

Ninja tool?

Ninjutsu?

Some people have even formed seals and are ready to perform defensive spells.

butHe took out a small glass bottle from his arms: "Uchiha Itachi, the traitor of the Uchiha clan, the guy who was willing to be a dog for Konoha, has been killed by me."

"From him, I learned that Konoha was the mastermind."

"Now, hand over those who participated in the genocide."

In the transparent glass bottle, there are two eyeballs as bright as rubies, and on them are not the "three magatama" of the ordinary Sharingan, but a three-bladed sickle-shaped pattern.

Some people were puzzled. Although it looked somewhat similar, they subconsciously felt that it was not the Sharingan.

But understandFor example, Hatake Kakashi knew very well that this must be Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

He had just fought with the owner of these eyes not long ago and was knocked unconscious. He lay in bed for several days and was released from the hospital yesterday after recovering somewhat.

The atmosphere gradually became weird.

Nara Shikaku, the leader, did not speak, and Hatake Kakashi, who knew the Sharingan best, did not speak either. The rest of the people could only follow suit and remain silent.

"You won't tell me? Are you going to cover it up?" Sasuke raised his knife forward with a cold expression, "Then I will just treat you as guilty."
