Chapter 357: The So-Called 'Truth'
"Hey, have you heard? The Uchiha Itachi, the murderer of the Uchiha clan, is back?"
"What? He did such a cruel thing and dared to come back?"
"I know about this, I heard that Uchiha Itachi was seriously injured by Hokage-sama, but in the end he was rescued!"
"What kind of person can come and go freely in the village?"
"What the hell is going on? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
……
Uchiha Itachi infiltrated Konoha as a member of an evil organization, intending to spy on Konoha's intelligence, but the news that he was finally repelled by the five generations of Hokage Asaha Senmei, under the secret manipulation of Asaha Sennya, quickly spread in Konoha.
Almost an hour, some well-informed villagers in the village began to talk about these things,
'Hoosh hoot!'
There was a knock on the door outside the Hokage's office, and he glanced at Kakashi, who was glaring at him, and chuckled, and said lightly, "He's here!"
"......" Kakashi suppressed his anger when he heard this, and his eyes returned to his previous weak appearance, and he stood aside silently.
With Kakashi's alertness, almost the moment he heard the rumors in the village, he expected that this must have been done by Asahi Sena. Because of the current Konoha can, only Asahi Sennya, who controls the two major forces of the dark part and the root at the same time, has the ability to do this in just one hour.
Thinking of this, Kakashi immediately ran to the Hokage's office to question Asahi Sena's purpose.
Although there is a special relationship between Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi, Kakashi, who is a young genius himself, actually prefers Sasuke a little more in his heart, and he has always regarded Sasuke as his most proud disciple, so Kakashi never wants to see Sasuke have any accidents, nor does he want Sasuke to be calculated.
"Come in!" said Asahi Chiena to the door.
The door was gently pushed open, and Sasuke, with his head down, walked in, his face a little embarrassed.
Sasuke first glanced at Kakashi, then suppressed all the embarrassment on his face, and respectfully saluted Asaha Senna, and said, "Senmei-sensei!"
Asahi Senna looked at Sasuke, without missing the slightest expression on his face, and his tone was as indifferent as ever, "I think you should come to me too." Okay, sit down and talk!"
"Thank you!" Sasuke sat down a little nervously across from Asahi Senna.
"Hokage-sama, then I'll retire first!" Seeing that things could not be violated, Kakashi could only retire for the time being, and made up his mind that he would definitely have a good talk with Sasuke later.
"Yes!" nodded to Chimana, motioning for Kakashi to leave.
"Sengai Sensei......" Sasuke hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"You want to know about Itachi! You're very upset, Sasuke! This kind of mental quality is not what a ninja should have!" said Asahi Sena with a faint lesson, just like he had done when he and Kimimaro had been trained a few years ago.
"Yes!" Sasuke looked up at Asahi Senna, and the panicked expression on his face gradually faded.
"It seems that after this year's training, your mentality has improved a lot, I originally thought that you wouldn't be desperate to chase Itachi!" Asahi Senmei rested his elbows on the table, crossed his hands to support his chin, and calmly looked at Sasuke's bloodshot eyes.
"I ......"
Asagi Senna ignored Sasuke's strange look and said to himself: "You are uneasy because you are too weak compared to Itachi, and your desire for revenge will never be fulfilled if you continue like this." You're also conflicted, you don't know if you should stay in Konoha and play ninja games with Naruto. You should still follow Orochimaru, after all, he gave you the power of the curse seal!"
At first, Sasuke looked shocked when he heard Asahi Sena's words, but he quickly calmed down. After all these years, Sasuke knows very well how powerful his teacher's intelligence system is, as if he knows everything.
"I sent the rumors in the village to see how you would react when you heard that the ferret had returned. You didn't go after the ferrets desperately, but came to me, and it seems that you have matured a lot. Asahi continued.
"Yes! I've been conflicted lately!" Facing his young teacher, Sasuke confided in his heart without any concealment: "I do have the idea of leaving Konoha to follow Orochimaru, but ......"
"Okay!" Chao Yu Qianming interrupted: "You don't need to explain, all the decisions will be made after you read these two letters!"
After saying that, Asahi Senna opened the drawer on the table, took out two slightly yellowed letters, and after placing them on the table, Asahi Senna added to Sasuke: "This is what Itachi wrote to me after leaving the village, along with these two letters, and this clay puppet, I think you should be familiar with it!"
"This ...... It's!" Sasuke recognized the clay doll almost immediately, it was a birthday present he had given to Itachi Uchiha.
Exhaling softly, Sasuke quickly picked up the letter on the table. Looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Sasuke gently stroked the cover of the letter, and tried to take out the letter paper several times, but he withdrew his hand, as if he didn't know what to do!
However, Sasuke's eyes were uncontrollably moist.
After a long time, Sasuke finally took a deep breath and pulled out the letter inside, his hand trembling as he unfolded it and smoothed it.
The letter was indeed written by Uchiha Itachi himself, but the content in it was very different from the truth about the Uchiha extermination.
At that time, Shimura Danzo's persecution was getting tighter, and Uchiha Itachi had to choose between the village and the family in order to keep Sasuke. When Asahi Senmei appeared, Uchiha Itachi, who was still weak at that time, had no choice but to compromise.
Most of the letter is a memoir that makes up a friendship between Uchiha Itachi and Asahi Sena. In the second half, Uchiha Itachi first asked Asahi Senna to protect Sasuke as an older brother, and instructed him in his practice, and then told the 'truth' about the Uchiha's extermination.
In the letter, Uchiha Itachi blamed all the blame on the Akatsuki organization, and even mentioned the masked man with the writing wheel eye, but Uchiha Itachi didn't say a word about the disadvantages of Konoha.
At the end of the letter, Uchiha Itachi also instructed Sasuke that he must not rush to revenge until he has no strength. And he lurked in the Xiao organization as a traitor, secretly transmitting information about the organization to Konoha.
And in the letter to Asahi Sena, most of them are telling the 'truth' about the Uchiha, and the rest is asking Asahi Senna to help take care of his younger brother, and when Asahi Senna feels that Sasuke is mature, he will tell him all the truth.
