Chapter 874 The Truth (Two-in-One Monthly Ticket Request)
In the Moonlight Reading Space.
Uchiha Itachi stabbed Sasuke's body with a knife, then pulled it out and stabbed it again.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
After stabbing three times in a row, Uchiha Itachi stopped.
"In front of the Mangekyō, no matter how powerful the three magatama are, they are useless."
Hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Sasuke fell silent. In the past, he was still a little unconvinced, always thinking that his pupil power was not weaker than the Mangekyō, especially in his memory, he killed Orochimaru and defeated Deidara. It can be said that he was inflated to the extreme.
But after experiencing this battle, he has completely understood the gap between the two. Just one illusion can kill him directly.
Although he has seen the power of the Mangekyō, Sasuke still asked the doubts in his heart. This is also the real reason why he is looking for Itachi: "So why did you kill the family?"
Looking at his brother, who is still pursuing this question, Uchiha Itachi also began to think deeply about how to solve it.
Now Itachi has several choices. The first choice is not to tell Sasuke the truth and let him continue to grow and develop. He believes that he will arrange everything in the ninja world. With the continuous fusion of the future body, he believes that Sasuke will become the eternal Mangekyo according to his arrangement and protect Konoha.
He got a story that he arranged for his brother, but the risk is whether the ninja world will really act as he arranged.
Although Itachi believes that he has considered very thoughtful back-up and countermeasures, he is not 100% sure whether everything will go as he imagined after his death.
After all, he must have been terminally ill in the ninja world at that time and died at the hands of Sasuke. Even if there is an accident, the counter-backhands are all invalid, and he has no way to change it.
If Sasuke is deceived by the so-called Uchiha Madara and embarks on the road of revenge against Konoha, then the fused future body will still bring back the memory of being deceived.
The second option is to consider the Konoha ninjas that Charlotte brought back constantly, so that Sasuke would not fall into the idea of hating everyone. Uchiha Itachi took on all the evil and blocked all the sins on himself. He, Uchiha Itachi, slaughtered the entire clan just to obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan, and left Sasuke to open the eternal Mangekyō.
The advantage of this approach is that all Sasuke's hatred will be on him alone, and he will no longer have hatred for other Konoha ninjas, and as Charlotte continues to bring people back from the ninja world, the Uchiha clan will bloom again in this world.
But the contradiction is that with the ninjas that Charlotte brings back constantly, there will definitely be someone who knows the cause of some things, and Sasuke's future fusion of memories will be the contradiction in his own words.
Especially the young Uchiha Shisui, who has been brought back by Charlotte, will definitely return to his peak and have his own memories in the future.
So the second option is still full of flaws, and he will still let his brother live under lies, and he will continue to lie.
As for the third choice, it is to tell his brother the truth of everything, so that he will no longer live under lies.
Although knowing the truth too early may destroy Sasuke's beliefs, with more and more clansmen, Sasuke's heart will surely be comforted.
No longer hostile to the Konoha high-level officials who may appear in the future.
After thinking for a while, Uchiha Itachi made his own choice.
In his previous life, he was a spy for his whole life, and lies had always been with him in his life. After living a new life, he didn't want to live in lies anymore.
Uchiha Itachi looked at his brother, and after a few seconds of silence, he said:
"Since you have come to this world, the past is often a passing cloud."
"But if you want to know the truth, then I will tell you everything I know."
"But I hope that after knowing the truth, you can devote yourself to the cause of Lady Charlotte and bring more clansmen to this world."
"Because of Lady Charlotte's existence, I believe that Uchiha and Konoha ninjas can live in peace."
Hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Sasuke thought to himself: Can I finally know the truth of the matter?
At the same time, he said seriously: "I will fight for Lady Charlotte's cause for the rest of my life."
Hearing Sasuke's words, Uchiha Itachi smiled, and then said: "Let you see all the truth."
The next second, Uchiha Itachi used his pupil technique to bring Sasuke into his memory.
On the edge of a cliff on the South River, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui stood here.
Looking at the image in front of him, Sasuke was surprised and said: "This is Itachi's memory..."
Because it is Itachi's memory, here Sasuke entered Itachi's perspective, looking at Uchiha Shisui who was facing away from him, and was telling him a story.
"It seems that the Uchiha clan's coup cannot be stopped."
"If this continues, Konoha will be in a civil war, and other countries will take advantage of the situation to launch an invasion, and war will definitely break out."
"When I was about to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup, my right eye was taken away by Danzo."
"That guy doesn't trust me."
At this point, Uchiha Shisui turned around, and Sasuke saw the other's lost right eye, and blood was coagulated on his cheek.
"It seems that he wants to protect the village in his own way, regardless of the consequences."
"I guess he's also eyeing my left eye, just in case I give it to you."
As he spoke, Uchiha Shisui dug out his left eye, held it in his hand, and handed it to Uchiha Itachi.
"The only person I can entrust to you is you, my best friend."
"Please be sure to protect this village and the name of Uchiha."
······
The memory continued to play in front of Sasuke, and soon Uchiha Itachi arrived at the Hokage Building, listening to the words of Konoha's four senior officials.
Xiaochun turned to bed and said:
"If Uchiha intends to launch a rebellion and seize power, the Uchiha clan will have to be treated as traitors to Konoha."
At this time Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted: "Koharu, wait a minute."
"Don't jump to conclusions."
Danzo on the side said: "But Hiruzen, the Uchiha clan will not stop."
"Then in order to avoid causing chaos, measures must be taken as early as possible."
Danzo then looked at Uchiha Itachi and said, "We can't even let go of children who don't know anything."
Hiruzen looked at Danzo and said seriously: "This is not what you should say in front of Itachi."
"And if the opponent in the civil war is the Uchiha clan, it will not be solved simply. They must have made a careful plan."
Danzo said expressionlessly: "The situation is urgent. We must take action before they cause trouble."
"If you and I join forces with our respective Anbu and launch a surprise attack secretly, we can solve it immediately."
Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and said: "The Uchiha clan are former comrades in arms. They should not use force to solve problems, but should use negotiation to solve problems."
"I'll find a way, Itachi, do whatever you can, even if it's just for a moment, buy me some time."
Uchiha Itachi then left the Hokage Building, but was summoned by Danzo for a private meeting.
Danzo Shimura said: "Although the third generation said that, once the situation becomes urgent, he will also act to protect Konoha."
"That's the kind of man he is, if it comes to that."
"Even Hiruzen, as Hokage he has to take decisive measures."
"Whether there is a war or not, as long as there is a coup."
"The Uchiha clan will face the fate of being exterminated, including your young and ignorant brother."
"But if you act before the coup, your brother can still be saved."
Seeing this, Sasuke opened his mouth. This old dog actually threatened Itachi with himself.
The memory was still playing, and Itachi continued without saying a word. Danzo continued:
"Once the coup happens, your brother will know all about it."
"If he witnessed the Konoha ninjas killing all his people, he would have the idea of revenge on Konoha, and he would have to be sent to hell."
At this time Uchiha Itachi said: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, I hope you can make a choice."
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Danzo continued: "Are you going to help the Uchiha clan launch a coup and be killed together with your family, or are you going to stand on our side of Konoha and help us eliminate the Uchiha before they rebel? The Bo clan, will you spare your brother’s life?”
"In order to protect the village, we must quell the civil unrest before causing it."
"And the only ninja who can be entrusted with this task is Itachi, who is a double agent of Uchiha and Konoha. You are the only one."
"Itachi, this task is indeed too cruel for you."
"But because this can at least ensure that your brother survives, you are worried about the village's mood, too."
"Are you willing to accept this task?"
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned and left without saying anything.
However, Uchiha Itachi who left did not return home, but met a man wearing a tiger-striped mask in the clan.
The man in the tiger mask asked: "Why do you know about my existence?"
Uchiha said:
"You were able to evade Konoha's warning and even investigate the secret stone of Nanga Shrine."
"Only the Uchiha clan members know the location. I investigated your actions afterwards."
"I have also investigated your identity and what kind of thoughts you have."
The man in the tiger mask said: "In that case, it's easy to handle. Then you know that as a member of the Uchiha clan, I am full of hatred for Konoha and Uchiha."
Uchiha Itachi said at this time: "I have a condition. I can help you take revenge on the Uchiha clan, but in exchange you are not allowed to attack the village."
"Also, don't hurt Uchiha Sasuke."
After negotiating the terms with the man in the tiger mask, Uchiha Itachi returned to his clan to inform Danzo and began to carry out his mission.
Uchiha Itachi came to his parents' room. Uchiha Fugaku was not surprised at all by the appearance of Uchiha Itachi. He just said lightly: "That's it. So you chose to join them."
"Dad, mom."
Mikoto turned her back to her son: "I understand, Itachi."
At this time, Fugaku said: "Itachi, promise me one last thing, Sasuke, please."
At this moment, Itachi shed tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I understand."
Feeling his son's trembling, Fugaku said, "Don't be afraid, this is the path you have chosen."
"Compared to you, our pain will end in an instant."
"Although we think differently, you are still our pride."
"What a kind child."
······
After reading the whole story and what happened, Sasuke's mind was in a mess.
He thought of many reasons, but he never thought it would be such a result.
He became the handle for the village to threaten his brother, and he never thought that the reason for the extermination of the Uchiha clan was to revolt.
After the initial shock and disbelief, Uchiha Sasuke still had many questions in his heart.
In these years, Uchiha Sasuke has greatly improved his mind and some political views through exchanges and learning with the ninjas under the command of Charlotte, and mastering some knowledge of this world.
After calming down, Sasuke asked the first question:
"Why did the Uchiha clan rebel?"
Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke who had woken up and learned to explore and think. It seems that his younger brother has indeed grown a lot here.
Itachi said: "Because of the demand for power, as one of the founding families of Konoha."
"In addition to the glory of their ancestors, the Uchiha family has not received any honors again, and the family has been excluded from the power of the Konoha high-level."
"Especially after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the relationship between the village and the family reached a freezing point."
"The family land was also forced to move from the center of the village to the edge of the suburbs."
"And in order to seek power, the family finally chose to move to the idea of a coup."
Hearing Uchiha Itachi's answer, Sasuke sneered, and then said:
"Itachi, as one of the founding families of Konoha, the Uchiha family needs certain rights. What's wrong with that?"
"Konoha was founded by Uchiha and Senju, but there is no position for us above the top. Senju is the second generation Hokage, and the third generation is also the apprentice of the second generation, but what about Uchiha?"
"Except for a Konoha Security Department, among the three major advisors, is there a position for our Uchiha family?"
"What's wrong with the family fighting for power and status?"
Listening to his brother's words, Uchiha closed his eyes, and then opened them again.
"But this is not a reason to start a rebellion, right?"
Sasuke said at this time: "I didn't say that launching a coup was right, but didn't my Uchiha clan suffer injustice?"
Then Sasuke changed the subject: "Let's not talk about the injustice of the Uchiha clan, who is the Uchiha who attacked with you?"
"If he came to this world, I would definitely break his limbs."
Looking at Uchiha Sasuke's vicious tone, Uchiha Itachi slowly said:
"He is another owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Madara."
