Chapter 223
[Bathing in the rain, Sasuke tiredly lowered his eyelids, staring at Itachi's finger that poked his forehead with lifeless eyes, and then fainted and fell to the ground. ]
[After an unknown amount of time, when Sasuke opened his eyes again, he was already in a dark den lit by only a candle, and his wounds were bandaged. ]
["So...if Itachi was in a healthy state, could he be stronger than Sasuke in terms of hard power!"]
["It should be possible, at least they should be evenly matched, otherwise it would be too unfair to his past feats!"]
["If he was in a healthy state, it wouldn't be Sasuke standing now, and it can be said that he was quite lucky to win the final victory!"]
["Itachi was only one step away, if he held on a little longer, he might die with Sasuke!"]
["I have bandaged your wound." A deep voice came from the darkness deep in the cave. A voice came from the middle, reminding Sasuke who seemed a little dazed: "You won."]
["But you have also suffered a lot of damage, so it is better not to force yourself to sit up." The owner of the voice walked out of the darkness. It was the masked man who appeared before: "We have met before, but we were still enemies at that time. But you don't have to take Deidara's matter to heart. I have no hostility towards you. I brought you here just to tell you one thing."]
[However, Sasuke remained silent and did not respond. His eyes were not even focused. He was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking. 】
["Here comes a man who looks like Uchiha Madara!"]
["Well, isn't he from Akatsuki? Why did he save Sasuke?"]
["Who knows what this man's purpose is! Judging from Uchiha Itachi's attitude towards him, their relationship is not good enough to avenge each other. He saved Sasuke because he is still useful to him!"]
["Well! Judging from the context of the masked man mentioning Deidara, Sasuke should have had a conflict with Deidara before!"]
["Uchiha Itachi is also from Akatsuki. Maybe he wants to find Deidara through other people in the same organization. His position, and Deidara happened to be targeted? ”]
“Huh? ! They targeted me, that annoying Uchiha Itachi’s brother - Uchiha Sasuke!” Deidara snorted twice in dissatisfaction, then showed an eager expression, showing the mouth in his palm and sticking out his tongue: “Just right! Before showing my art to Uchiha Itachi, I’ll test the water with his brother first, anyway, these two guys look equally annoying!”
“Test the water... Since Uchiha Sasuke still appears on the sky, doesn’t it mean that you have most likely lost to him? "Scorpion on the side ruthlessly revealed this fact, which immediately made Deidara even more unhappy: "I won't admit this kind of thing. That guy can live because I haven't shown the ultimate art yet! Since my future self can't do it, let the present self complete it! After killing Uchiha Sasuke, I will kill that annoying Uchiha Itachi!"
【"Don't you have any interest at all... If I say so, you might be interested in listening to the story about Uchiha Itachi." The unforgettable name made Sasuke come back to his senses a little bit and glanced at the masked man, knowing that he had aroused his Pay attention, the masked man began his deception: "That's right... You think you know your brother, but in fact you know nothing about him... There is no way, let me start with my own introduction..."]
["Like you, I am a survivor of the Uchiha clan..." The masked man took off his mask and revealed the Sharingan in his right eye while speaking: "I am the one who knows the truth about Uchiha Itachi."]
[Unexpectedly, the moment he saw the other's Sharingan, Sasuke's heart jumped violently, and his left eye opened the Sharingan uncontrollably, and then the three magatama quickly merged into the pattern of Itachi's Mangekyo. 】
["Oh! Are you going to reveal Uchiha Itachi's past next? This is worth a deeper understanding!"]
["In the previous battle, I felt that Uchiha Itachi was hiding something. Not to mention his strange words and deeds, he clearly had a killer move like Susanoo, but he waited until his body was about to collapse before using it. I even doubted whether he was serious about taking Sasuke's eyes!"]
"Didn't kill him, Uchiha Madara..." Uchiha Itachi pursed his lips. Although he had made arrangements for his afterlife as much as possible, he couldn't always go as he wished.
Itachi knew Sasuke's paranoia very well. This was a very typical Uchiha character, so he was not sure that he could withstand the masked man's deception. As long as he told some true and false stories about his deeds, Sasuke would most likely become a pawn of the masked man.
'I should have a backup plan, ShisuiWho will have the eye...'
["Hey! Uchiha Madara is going to take off his mask!"]
["Tsk! I was so excited, but he only showed one eye!"]
["There must be something wrong! If it was really Uchiha Madara, why didn't he dare to show it to Sasuke openly? What's the matter with only showing one Sharingan!"]
["Hiding his true face shows that his true face conflicts with Uchiha Madara's identity. He needs this mask to maintain his fictional image!"]
["Before his mask is taken off, there is no way to confirm whether this person is Uchiha Madara, but since Uchiha Itachi said he is Uchiha Madara, let's just treat him as Uchiha Madara for the time being. Just be careful anyway!"]
Nagato didn't care much about the true identity of the masked man. Anyway, he didn't trust this person from the beginning, and he firmly believed that under the power of the Samsara Eye, all conspiracies and tricks were not worth mentioning, but Obito was different.
He was really worried about the possibility of his identity being exposed. It was necessary to act under the cover of Uchiha Madara. Otherwise, it would be hard to predict how many twists and turns his plan would encounter. After all, his brain was not very good to begin with, and his plan was also carried out according to Uchiha Madara's own plan, except that the final beneficiary was changed to himself.
'Damn the sky curtain! And those people who have nothing to do and guess blindly, why are their brains turning so fast! '
["Hey! How did one of Sasuke's eyes become a kaleidoscope?"]
["Uh... Could it be that in Sasuke's heart, Itachi is still the most important person to him!"]
["It turns out that this most important person can be an enemy. For a long time, there have been only a few people in the Uchiha clan who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan!"]
["No, no, there must be something wrong here. Let's read on!"]
