Chapter 174: Entrustment

"Itachi?"

In Naruto's dream, he and Itachi stood facing each other, the scene around him was like an old-fashioned projector playing some images of his childhood, Naruto didn't look at his childhood memories, but focused on the man. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Naruto, if we meet like this, it means I'm dead, but so am I, so I can talk to you properly."

Itachi's body began to move forward, and he reached out his right hand to Naruto, fingers lightly tapping his fingers on his forehead.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"I always thought you wouldn't hurt me, whether it was the hotel or the scorpion, who are you?"

Naruto wasn't scared by Itachi's movements, his eyes were always looking directly at Itachi, and even now he didn't want to make a move on Itachi.

"The shackles of memory have been lifted, see for yourself."

Itachi lowered his hand and looked at the image around him with Naruto, who had been talking to someone since he had just remembered Naruto, whose face was blurred until Itachi reminded him.

"Sasuke?"

The man's name blurted out, and Naruto never thought that he and Sasuke would have a difficult memory before the ninja school.

"What the hell is going on! Brother Itachi... Was it really you who did what happened that night? ”

Naruto couldn't control his excitement, and Itachi's title also changed, and he asked anxiously as he remembered what had happened that bloody night.

"That's right, Naruto, you asked me the reason back then, if your father was still around, maybe it would have turned around, but at that time, Konoha was not something that one person could change."

Itachi nodded, he also recently learned that Naruto's father was the fourth generation Hokage, in fact, when he first joined the Shadow Division, he was working for the water gate, at that time the water gate and the third generation were committed to befriending the Uchiha, but everything changed after the death of the water gate.

The Uchiha family was exiled to the corner of Konoha by Danzou in the name of relocation, and both Danzou and the advisors suspected that the Nine-Tails incident was initiated by the Uchiha, because not only anger was reflected in the blood-red pupils of the Nine-Tails that night, but also the cursed Sharingan.

Since then, the Uchiha has been far away from the village government center, and the glorious Konoha garrison has also become the dirty work of cleaning the streets and driving away the hawkers, and all the Uchiha clansmen can't accept such a change, and the accumulated dissatisfaction is so bad that even Itachi's father can't suppress it in the end.

"Coup d'état?"

"Once the Uchiha launched a coup d'état, Konoha will undoubtedly become a battlefield, and countless villagers will be killed, and this coup will have no so-called victor from the beginning, it will only increase sadness."

"Then why are you..."

Naruto couldn't understand that he had only recently felt the warmth of his loved ones, and it could be said that it was not a pity to die for them, let alone hurt them for others, but Itachi had killed his parents, lovers, and companions with his own hands, and just thinking about it hurt like a knife in his heart.

"To protect the village, you and Sasuke."

"Huh?"

"After the Uchiha clan launched a coup d'état, the first thing to suffer was not Konoha, but you Naruto, Uchiha's kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is a terrifying existence that can control the Nine-Tails, and my father is the one with these eyes, once he decides to launch a coup d'état, he will naturally not let you go as an important combat force."

"This kind of thing, this kind of thing..."

"And the Uchiha's coup d'état was not a 100% success, in case of failure, Sasuke, as the son of the patriarch, will definitely not escape, he doesn't know anything about the coup, for the sake of my favorite village, and my favorite brother, this is the path I chose myself."

'Tick'

Naruto's tears couldn't stop falling, and one drop fell to the ground and cracked, gathering into a small cloud of water, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"Don't cry, you're the hero who saved Konoha, I didn't expect you to become so strong and surpass me, Naruto."

Itachi patted Naruto's head, he wasn't an illusion, but a chakra clone like the Water Gate, which was left behind when he performed the Tsukiyo on Naruto during the Ichio Incident, in order to tell him the way forward.

"That's not right! I'm not a hero at all, I'm nothing compared to Brother Itachi, you put your own family for the peace of Konoha... Burdened with a lifetime of infamy, burdened with Sasuke's hatred for you, you are the real hero! ”

"Naruto, thank you."

Itachi smiled softly, it was really satisfying to hear Naruto say something like that after he died.

"So, why did you seal Sasuke's memories and me?"

"At that time, I told Sasuke the conditions for the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye, you are Sasuke's best friend, I was afraid that he would attack you for power, but now it seems that I have done it too much, you met again in the ninja school, and once again established a strong bond, if I didn't do that, maybe Sasuke would have taken a different path."

"What about Sasuke, how is he doing now?"

"I don't know, but I can guess a little bit, the strength with me back then was still not enough, so I found someone who was secretly peeping at Konoha and teamed up to destroy the Uchiha, that person you also know, Ah Fei."

"Is it Ah Fei again?"

Naruto was lost in thought, but he could always see Ah Fei's shadow behind all the major events related to Konoha, and he wanted to know more and more about Ah Fei's true face.

"That man said he wanted to destroy Konoha, but I can feel that his ambition is completely more than that, after I die, he should tell Sasuke the truth, Sasuke is pure, and will definitely attack Konoha after knowing the truth."

"I understand, then all I can do is stop Sasuke as best I can."

"I'm sure you can do it, but if there's a spell that I'll leave in your body, I'll activate it and bring Sasuke back on the right path."

"No, you don't!"

"Huh?"

"I'll bring Sasuke back with my own hands, isn't it a matter of course to be his best friend!"

"Maybe you and Sasuke are more like brothers than me, Sasuke will leave it to you, it's really good that we can meet you."

Itachi's smiling body gradually became transparent, and after entrusting his brother to Naruto, he finally turned into a point of light and disappeared.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

When Naruto opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on Hinata's bed, covered with a quilt with the scent of Hinata, and the owner of the quilt was leaning on the side of the bed and looking at him.

"Naruto-kun, you're awake, you've been asleep all day, are you tired?"

"Don't worry, it's just that I have one more reason to bring Sasuke back."
