Chapter 225
[“It seems that I can’t convince you with normal methods, but this is understandable. I, a suspicious guy, suddenly told you such a thing...” The masked man knew that he couldn’t convince Sasuke with his empty words, so he began to reveal his identity: “But, what I said is true. You also heard from Itachi about the helper that night.”]
[“Sasuke’s attitude is very interesting. His first reaction is to deny it!”]
[“Then what if, revenge has been completed, and someone suddenly says that the person you are avenging is protecting you? No normal person would admit it!”]
[“If everything is arranged by Itachi, then Sasuke only sees the image that Itachi wants him to see. This is consistent with the vague words Itachi said before the battle. I agreed!"]
【"That person is me." Noticing that Sasuke's attitude seemed to be a little shaken, the masked man emphasized: "I know a lot about Itachi, but Itachi died without noticing this."]
【"Stop making a fuss! It doesn't matter what happens! Get out of my sight!" Sasuke's gradually recovered spirit allowed his brain to regain its analytical ability, but at this time he was inexplicably frightened and didn't want to listen to the other party continue to talk, but the masked man obviously wouldn't do what he wanted. It's better to say that this is the result he wanted to promote: "No, you listen to me. No, you must listen to me! This is your duty! For the ninja world, for Konoha, for your younger brother, the brother who gave up everything-Uchiha Itachi's way of survival!"]
["Wow, the more he talks, the more... Outrageous! For his brother, I can barely justify it, but for Konoha? Or even for the ninja world? Even bragging should follow the basic law, okay! "]
["So I was protected without knowing it, you are so gentle, Uchiha Itachi! (Hatsuma)"]
["Sasuke is going crazy, hearing such words just after the revenge!"]
["Do you know why Itachi sealed Amaterasu in your eyes... Because he doesn't want you to meet me no matter what, the reason will be clear as long as you listen to what I say." Looking at Sasuke curled up and said nothing, the masked man said to himself: "The only people who know the truth about Itachi are Danzo of Konoha and the Third Hokage, and the advisors Men Yan and Koharu. After the death of the Third Hokage, the only ones who know about this are those three people. An old guy... Those guys will probably keep the secret forever, and Itachi's truth will be forever sealed in the dark, and that's what Itachi hopes for. "】
["But I also know Itachi's truth. As I said just now, Itachi died without noticing this. But he was also very cautious and specially prepared Amaterasu as a backup. I'm afraid he even expected that I would show my Sharingan when I talked to you."】
["Huh? Is this related to the top leaders of Konoha?"]
["Is it hard to understand! A big ninja clan like the Uchiha was killed overnight. No one would think that Konoha knew nothing beforehand!"]
["If you ask me, Konoha should also be one of the participants. If nothing else, at least block the surrounding environment so that other ninja clans will not be involved!"]
["If you have been to Konoha, you won't say this. The Uchiha's residence is in the corner of Konoha. The entire residence is not only surrounded by a wall, but the nearest settlement is also 300 meters away. If you don't keep an eye on it, it will be difficult to discover if something happens! ”]
[“That’s even more problematic! Putting the Uchiha in that position is clearly intended to put them in a situation of isolation and helplessness!”]
[“Don’t be so light-hearted! If you’ve experienced the Uchiha’s bad temper, you won’t be surprised by this situation!”]
[“Stop arguing. See what’s going on next to see if there’s any conspiracy!”]
[“It’s not just about the arrangements during the battle, but you can also predict the actions of the masked man outside of the battle. Is this really something that a human can do?”]
[“Yes, but you need to collect a lot of information to piece together the target’s style of behavior!”]
[“I’m so envious of this ability to predict other people’s every move through intelligence gathering!”]
[“I’m okay at intelligence gathering, but I’m not good at intelligence analysis. I’ve never passed this course!”]
[“What did you say? What are you talking about? Protect me? The truth? "Sasuke, who had calmed down, fell into a state of doubt about life again after hearing the words of the masked man. The masked man was very satisfied with his state and lowered his voice to guide him gently: "Think about it carefully, think about Itachi, the once very gentle brother..."】
【The brain cannot controlThinking of Itachi in the past, Sasuke gasped and subconsciously retorted: "No! That guy... That guy wanted to kill me! To take my eyes..."]
[Sasuke was so excited that he accidentally lost his breath and even fainted. When he woke up again, he found himself tied up by the masked man and leaning against the wall. ]
["Sasuke may be more at a loss now than when the Uchiha clan was exterminated!"]
["It's obvious. After all, one is an emergency, and the other is an action taken by oneself after thinking that you know all the truth. As a result, someone suddenly appeared and said that you did something wrong. If it were me, I might have killed him directly!"]
["Speaking of which, Sasuke seems to be easy to fool. Maybe Itachi's story is true, but the masked man didn't produce any evidence. Why did Sasuke's emotions fluctuate so violently after hearing his words!"]
["Maybe Sasuke himself also realized that something was wrong, but he chose not to investigate because of hatred before, and then at this time, the other party's words brought back these awkward memories. All of them were hooked out!"]
[Sasuke's mood calmed down at this time, but he continued to say a series of reasons, as if to prove that his killing of Itachi was correct: "That guy... Itachi is my enemy... He killed my father and mother, and killed all the people in the clan... He is a defected ninja, and a member of Akatsuki... He is a person who should be hated, and my long-cherished wish is to kill him..."]
["That night, he did destroy the Uchiha clan, and then defected from Konoha." Before Sasuke could respond, the masked man told him the inside story that shocked him: "But those were all tasks assigned to him by Konoha! This is the entrance to the truth about Itachi."]
