Chapter 229
【"No one knows how Itachi felt when he received the mission, but he had to make a terrible decision under such circumstances."】
【"Normally, attacking compatriots is an option that he would never choose, but if the Uchiha is allowed to provoke a civil war, Konoha and the Land of Fire will be shaken, and other countries will definitely take advantage of the situation, and it may even turn into the Fourth Ninja World War."】
【"Because of the Uchiha's selfish desires, I don't know how many people will die, and innocent people will be implicated. If you were Itachi, what would you do?" Sasuke hung his head and remained silent. Seeing this, the masked man continued: "So Itachi decided to personally put an end to the history of the Uchiha. His betrayal was not hatred for the Uchiha, but he had no choice."】
["If the Uchiha really launched a coup, what is the possibility of triggering the Fourth Ninja World War?"]
["That depends on the casualties of Konoha. After all, other ninja clans are not vegetarians. Even if they are weaker than the Uchiha, the alliance will not be able to defeat them. If they join forces, they can still fight against Uchiha!"]
["Even if Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha are of the same mind, the final result will definitely be a tragic victory for one side or a loss for both sides. In this case, there is a high probability that war will break out!"]
["So if we don't talk about the method, just from the result, Uchiha Itachi really contributed to peace? !"]
["In fact, I was also looking for an opportunity to provoke a war at that time, because I hated Senju's Konoha and Uchiha, but even this did not escape Itachi's eyes. He was the only one who discovered my existence."]
["Itachi met with me and put forward his conditions. He could help me take revenge on Uchiha, but the condition was that I could not attack Konoha."]
["Only the Third Hokage tried hard to resolve the conflict with other methods. He tried to negotiate with Uchiha to seek a reconciliation, but unfortunately time was tight and it was ultimately not realized, so everything that happened that night..." The sky flashed across the bloody scenes of the night of the Uchiha genocide. 】
["It feels more and more outrageous. What kind of god is Uchiha Itachi? He can do things that others can't do!"]
["Putting aside his Uchiha identity, Itachi's ninja qualities are really high! No matter what the mission is, as long as the order is issued, he will do his best to complete it even if he has to give up his emotions. At the same time, his intelligence gathering ability, analysis ability, tactical layout and combat effectiveness are all at the top level. He is simply a perfect ninja template!"]
["Zabuza pretends to be cold but has rich emotions. Why don't you come and learn from him!"]
["Did this masked man receive three Why are you always saying good things for the Third Hokage? He wants to get the money from the Third Hokage! According to him, all the bad things were done by Danzo and the other two advisors! "]
["No, this is in line with the Third Hokage's style after his second term in office. He tries to smooth things over as much as possible. If he negotiates with the Uchiha, he might suffer a loss and settle things down. "]
["This Hokage is really shameless. Don't his subordinates obey orders? "]
["That was a mission. As a criminal who killed a clan member, he became a traitor with the stigma... This was a mission. Itachi also completed it almost 100% mission, except for one thing..." The masked man squinted at Sasuke, and after a moment's silence, he said softly: "He couldn't kill his own brother."]
[Ignoring how much Sasuke was stimulated, the masked man continued: "Afterwards, in order to protect you from the persecution of Danzo and other high-ranking officials, he asked the Third Hokage for help and left the village after threatening Danzo. He said that if Sasuke was attacked, he would leak all the village's information to non-allied countries."]
["What he missed most was you, but he couldn't tell you the truth, so he could only give that kind of reason."]
[" What the hell! Parents can do it, but the younger brother can't do it! What kind of brain circuit is this! "]
["Hey, didn't it say that Uchiha Itachi put the village's problems first? How come it has become a threat to Konoha's high-level officials to protect Sasuke with the village's intelligence?"]
["According to this statement, in Uchiha Itachi's heart, Sasuke is obviously more important than Konoha. What kind of brother control is this!"]
[Sasuke recalled the night of the genocide with a lonely face. The topic of capacity that Itachi said to him, as well as his ruthless ridicule, are still clearly imprinted in his mind.]
["He hopes to make you stronger by giving you the goal of revenge against him, and he also hopes that you can always regard Uchiha as a glorious clan. He asked the Hokage to never let you know the truth. When he left the village, he had already decided to die in the battle with you.Everything is to give you new power at that time... This is the truth about Itachi."]
[The masked man finished telling Itachi's story, but Sasuke didn't want to admit it anymore, and murmured to himself: "It's a lie... It's all a lie... You must be lying to me..."]
["Sasuke's life was arranged clearly!"]
["Psycho! Why don't you listen to whether Sasuke is willing to accept such an arrangement!"]
["Sasuke's attitude has changed several times. He asked anxiously and denied it desperately!"]
["It's normal. The originally gentle brother has become an enemy who can't wait to get rid of him. As a result, after he accepted this setting and successfully took revenge, someone suddenly came out and said that you killed the wrong person. In fact, your brother still loves you. How would you feel if this happened to you!"]
["I was almost killed by him several times! "Seemingly finding an excuse to support himself, Sasuke shouted loudly to the masked man, but the masked man did not cooperate with him and gave a clear explanation directly: "If Itachi really wanted to take your life, you would have died long ago."]
[So Sasuke continued to quibble: "In order to kill me, he even used the pupil technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan!"]
["He has thought of all the ways you can deal with him. Itachi has reasons to force you into a desperate situation in that battle. As for what the reasons are... you should have noticed it." Sasuke didn't want to think of that scene, but he still remembered the scene of Orochimaru being sealed by Itachi in the words of the masked man.]
["Uchiha Itachi is so cruel that even we, the bystanders, are played by him!"]
["Who would have thought that the fatal fight was just a fake one by him, and even the final failure was disguised perfectly. It is impossible to see that his purpose is to die in Sasuke's hands!"]
