Chapter 228
【Sasuke's face changed immediately after hearing about the inside story of the coup and the spy. In comparison, the identity of Sasuke's father, Uchiha Fugaku, as the mastermind of the coup seemed insignificant, because the following events related to Itachi were the real breaking point. 】
【"However, the opposite happened. Itachi leaked all the information about Uchiha to the village, which is commonly known as a double agent. It is hard to imagine what kind of awareness he had to make such a decision..."】
【"Why? Why did Itachi betray Uchiha?" Sasuke asked in disbelief, to which the masked man responded: "You may not understand if you have not experienced war... During the Third Shinobi World War, Itachi, who was only four years old, witnessed too many deaths."】
["He went to the battlefield at the age of four, which is indeed rich in experience!"]
["Was Konoha's combat power so tight at that time that even a four-year-old child had to go?"]
["At that time, Konoha was almost besieged by the entire ninja world. The other four major countries took turns to fight with Konoha. It was normal for four-year-olds to go to the battlefield at that time. They are almost the same!"]
【"When he was still young, he experienced war early, and war is hell. This experience made Itachi a person who does not like fighting and loves peace."]
【"Itachi is not bound by the shackles of the clan and loves peace, so for him, the stability of the village is his first consideration, and the village's high-level officials also took advantage of this."]
【"They gave Itachi a top-secret mission, an eye for an eye, to deal with Uchiha, you need the Sharingan." Hearing this, Sasuke had roughly pieced together what happened, so his eyes became a little dazed again, and the masked man unscrupulously revealed the scars deep in his heart: "Yes... that mission is... to wipe out all the people of the Uchiha clan..."]
["Not liking to fight, loving peace, this description is actually How can it be put on a person who killed all his compatriots! "]
["Although the logic seems to make sense, I always feel that something is wrong!"]
["It's a bit like a trap set by the Konoha high-level! First, deliberately exclude the Uchiha to cause their dissatisfaction. When these dissatisfactions accumulate to a certain extent, the Uchiha will naturally take corresponding actions, and then the Konoha high-level can justifiably attack the Uchiha!"]
["It's probably close, otherwise it can't explain why everyone was killed. It can't be that all the Uchiha participated in the coup. At least Sasuke's age doesn't know anything! "]
["Ha, the Konoha high-level didn't set their sights on the Uchiha's Sharingan, and wanted to replicate Kakashi's situation, and then set up this for them. A situation! If this is true, I can only say that the Hyuga clan is foresighted. The caged bird thing fundamentally eliminates the feasibility of this operation! ”]
[“The masked man said that the Konoha high-level officials took advantage of Uchiha Itachi’s peace-loving character. Does he mean that Uchiha Itachi was actually fooled by them?”]
[“He was only thirteen years old when the clan was exterminated. Kids of this age are in the most unstable mental period. How could he be the opponent of those cunning politicians? It would be strange if he was not fooled!”]
Itachi Uchiha could not tell what his inner feelings were at this time. He originally thought that he was incompatible with the overall style of Uchiha. Only after watching his own experience from the perspective of an observer, he found that he was actually a thorough Uchiha, and he was even more arrogant than ordinary Uchiha.
He thought he was the one who decided the end of the clan and arranged Sasuke’s path. This arrogance made him feel that he could bear everything. Perhaps this was the reason for the extermination of the Uchiha clan.
‘Am I wrong... I am wrong...’ Itachi’s face was a little bitter. After being exposed to this extent, it seemed that he could no longer stay in the Akatsuki organization.
After failing in his mission, all he could do now was to pass the information about Akatsuki that he had collected over the years back to Konoha, and then find an opportunity to die in Sasuke’s hands.
Itachi did not expect any other ending for himself, because this was the fate that a sinner deserved, not to mention that such an arrangement could give Sasuke enough power to protect himself, which was the best choice no matter how you looked at it.
Sasuke, who was far away in Konoha, did not know that Itachi still intended to die in his hands. At this time, he looked at Naruto, Sakura and Jiraiya who walked in from the door with cold eyes.
Jiraiya consciously walked to Kakashi’s side to give space to the three young people, but the extremely depressing atmosphere made it difficult to say a simple greeting.
Sakura looked at Sasuke’s cold eyes, feeling sad and scared in her heart. She opened and closed her mouth and didn’t know what to say to comfort him. After all, the other party’s experience, it would be too meaningless to say that she felt the same way. Although Sakura was easily impulsive in front of Sasuke, she would not make a mistake in such a matter.
As for Sasuke, he had no intention of building relationships with them. Now he looked at the people of Konoha as if they were enemies.
Only Naruto, who claimed that he was not good at speaking, could still speak despite the discomfort. Although he spoke in a halting manner, he still clearly expressed his support for Sasuke: "Stinky...Stinky Sasuke! I really envy you. You actually have a brother who values you so much... It's great. I have nothing... Haha, so don't worry, as long as the third generation grandfather takes action, you will definitely be able to see your brother soon..."
Looking at Naruto who was racking his brains to speak the lines, Sasuke did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation. He opened his Sharingan, and said coldly with undisguised hostility all over his body: "Then... Even if I met Itachi, what would happen... Can the Sandaime revive the dead Uchiha..."
Naruto was speechless, and Sasuke continued to mock: "Naruto, what is your purpose in coming here? Do you want to learn from your future self to change others and make me accept your point of view... Then what you should do is not to say these meaningless words here, but to fight with me. Only the winner is qualified to preach..."
Naruto sank his face and stammered, not knowing how to answer. Kakashi, who was leaning against the wall not far away, wanted to persuade Sasuke to be more polite, but was stopped by Jiraiya beside him.
"Let the Uchiha kid vent for the time being, and then see how Naruto performs..."
Kakashi was relieved a little. Since Jiraiya had such an attitude, it meant that he was not completely on the side of the top leaders, and for Naruto's sake, Sasuke's safety should also be guaranteed.
