Chapter Twenty-Three: Sasuke's Choice
On the way to the Land of Rain, the masked man looked at Itachi walking in front and asked, "Itachi, aren't you curious about that child?" Could he be a member of the group? ”
Itachi replied without looking back: "It's a little curious, that kid can use the Vajra blockade to show that he is from the Vortex clan, and his strength is also very strong." But I haven't seen this kid in Konoha. ”
The masked man asked curiously, "Oh, could that be Naruto Uzumaki?" I've heard that Naruto Uzumaki's strength is also very strong, and he can hurt Thunderkage at a young age. ”
Itachi replied, "It's impossible, Naruto was hit by my moon reading, it is impossible to wake up so quickly, and Naruto is yellow-haired, and the kid is red-haired." Furthermore, Naruto's space ninjutsu is the Flying Thunder God, but the kid is not using the Flying Thunder God, but the same Hitomi Jutsu as us. ”
The masked man said in surprise, "Hitomi, but I haven't seen any changes in his eyes?" ”
Itachi said lightly: "His eyes have not changed, he has used a total of two spatial movements in front of me, and the first time I found that when he uses spatial movement, it will be accompanied by powerful pupil force fluctuations. The second time I knew that it wasn't his eyes, but his forehead. So he should still have an eye on his forehead. ”
The masked man asked curiously: "Forehead, indeed I also found that there is any power fluctuating on his forehead, I thought it was the fluctuation of his hair, but I didn't think it was the pupil technique, but that fluctuation seems to be different from the fluctuation of the writing wheel eye, if it is the pupil technique, in addition to the writing wheel eye, what other eyes can have the power of space, even if the writing wheel eye has the power of space, it is rare." ”
Itachi recalled, "I remember that there was also an eye that had the power of space. I heard my father mention the power of the white eye. ”
The masked man was surprised: "White eyes, impossible." If the white eye really has such a strong strength, then why has the Hyuga family never seen a ninja who knows space, but most of them are physical. ”
Itachi replied faintly: "That's because the Hyuga family hasn't really developed the true power of the white eye. And I feel that in order to exert the true power of the white eye, it takes a huge chakra, just like the chakra of our Uchiha family, if you don't have a strong chakra as a backing, you can't exert a powerful power. It's just that it takes a lot more chakra to exert the power of the white eye than it does for the chakra than it does for the chakra. ”
The masked man said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about white eyes. I'm curious how you know. ”
Itachi replied, "It's nothing, it's just a lot of books." It's recorded in the ancestral hall of the Uchiha family, but no one wants to see it. I think it's the same with the Hyuga family, where few people pay attention to these things other than the patriarch. ”
Itachi paused and then said, "In the records of our Uchiha family, the Uchiha and the Hyuga family are related by blood. Indra, the son of the Six Paths Immortals, the ancestor of the Uchiha, and the ancestor of the Hyuga family was the younger brother of the Six Paths Immortals. It's just that there are very few records about the younger brother of the Six Dao Immortals, only that the younger brother of the Six Dao Immortals has white eyes, and the others don't know, but since he is the younger brother of the Six Dao Immortals, he is definitely not a simple person. ”
The masked man said abruptly, "I see, but why does that kid have white eyes?" He's obviously from the Vortex clan. ”
Itachi replied: "I don't know this, but what I do know is that the kid is very dangerous, and I don't know what he can do, but I don't feel like he's under me, so I don't want to provoke him, he should be someone sent by Danzang." ”
The masked man didn't ask any more questions after listening to Itachi's words, and the two walked silently towards the Land of Rain.
At this time, in the underground of Konoha, the child with the ghost mask appeared behind Danzo. As if he knew he would come, Danzou wasn't surprised.
He just asked faintly, "Is the matter settled?" ”
The child replied, "Well, all the rebels are dead, and the Uchiha Itachi has also left with Akatsuki's people, this is what you want." ”
The child takes a bottle from the storage scroll and places it on the table. I saw that the bottle was filled with an unknown liquid and a writing wheel eye with only three hooks open.
After looking at the bottle, Tuan Zang also took out a scroll and threw it at the child, saying, "This is the spiritual technique you wanted." ”
The child took the scroll and looked at it for a moment and said, "Thank you, I'll leave if there's nothing to do, I hope to cooperate with you next time." With that, the child disappeared.
Danzang didn't mind, just stared at the bottle for a while. Called a shadow and said, "Give this to Orochimaru." ”
The shadow echoed "yes" and walked away with the bottle.
And the child appeared in the dead forest of Konoha, only to see him open the scroll and look at it, and when he finished reading it, he burned the scroll.
He muttered, "Still can't do it." Let's go back first, maybe that guy will find a way. After saying that, I saw the child turn into a puff of black smoke and dissipate.
In the early morning of the next day, the entire Konoha shook, and the Uchiha family was severely hit, and the entire garrison was sentenced
Shinobu Uchiha Itachi was destroyed alone.
The third Hokage issued an S-class arrest warrant for Uchiha Itachi. This is the biggest thing in Konoha after the sacrifice of the four generations, and the whole Konoha is panicked.
Funerals are being held throughout Konoha. Naruto and Sasuke also came to Konoha's memorial monument to pay their respects to the dead.
At the funeral, Naruto saw the grief and pain of those family members, and it hit him hard. He had obviously made a lot of efforts to prevent this tragedy from happening, but he greatly underestimated the darkness of this world, and Itachi still carried out the order.
Konoha is still attacking all the Uchiha families. Itachi also became a traitor and joined Akatsuki. For the first time, Naruto had doubts about whether he could change this sad world. The only thing that made Naruto happy was that the Uchiha clan had not been wiped out at least.
At noon, everyone left, and Naruto and Sasuke saw that Shizuzu Uchiha was still standing in front of the memorial monument in silent tears.
Sasuke wanted to go up to comfort him, but was stopped by Naruto and said, "Just let Sister Jing stay a little longer." After all, all of this was done by the person he loved the most, and I think Sister Jing must be very sad in her heart, so it's better to let her stay a little longer. Besides, you're not going to be that much better. ”
Sasuke looked at Naruto with a firm gaze and said, "Tell me what all this is about, why my brother would do such a thing, why my father and mother don't seem to care about what my brother does, you must know that my father is the patriarch of the Uchiha family, and now there is such a thing in the family, but he doesn't seem to care very much." Tell me why, I know you must know. ”
Naruto looked at Sasuke's determined eyes and knew that something terrible might happen to Sasuke's temperament if he didn't tell him the truth.
And Naruto didn't want to hide it from Sasuke, because Sasuke is also a very wise and persistent person, and some things tell him that it is not a bad thing, and maybe there will be other options.
So Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, " You really want to know? Know that knowing the truth may be unacceptable to you. ”
Sasuke said firmly, "Whether I accept it or not, I want to know, I want to know the truth of everything, I want to know why my brother did this, I want to know why my parents are so indifferent in the face of the great changes in the family." ”
Naruto looked Sasuke in the eye and said, "Okay, I'll tell you what all this is for, but you also have to tell me what to choose after you know the truth." ”
Sasuke happily returned: "Okay"
"Let's go, go to the Hokage Rock." Naruto said a few words and walked towards the Hokage Rock, and Sasuke followed Naruto.
After coming to Hokage, Naruto told Sasuke about why Itachi joined Akatsuki after slaughtering his clan and why Fuqiu and Mikoto were so indifferent.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, who looked unacceptable after knowing the truth, and said, "Brother Itachi, Uncle Fuqiu, and Aunt Mikoto are afraid that telling you this will make you unbearable, so they will hide it from you, after all, you are the most precious brother and son to them." They don't want you to accept this dark truth, they just want you to live happily. ”
Sasuke said excitedly, "Do they think that I can live happily and take everything on my body, am I so useless?" ”
Naruto said, "You can't blame them, after all, they just don't want you to get hurt." I know you can't handle this for a while. Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow, and you can tell me your choice. ”
Naruto left after saying that, leaving Sasuke to wait quietly. After all, this kind of thing is not something that anyone can bear, not to mention that Sasuke is only 7 years old now, and even an adult can't accept it.
So Naruto told Sasuke to calm down, but Naruto was confident that Sasuke wouldn't let him down.
The next morning, Naruto arrived at Hokage Rock and saw Sasuke waiting for him from a distance. Naruto came to Sasuke's side and said, "I didn't expect you to be so early. Tell me what you think and what you're going to do next. ”
Sasuke looked at the entire Konoha Village and said, "I hope that this world will be peaceful, there will be no more darkness, no more sorrow. I thought about it for a long time, and I suddenly thought of you. You said you want to be the Hokage, you want to change the world, you want me to help you, now this is also my dream, I want me and you to change the world. ”
Naruto also looked at the entire Konoha Village and his heart was full of joy, Sasuke did not live up to his expectations, nor did he let him down and smiled, "Well, we will change this world." ”
Naruto thought of Tsuruma and Madara at this moment, and history was strikingly similar at this moment, but Naruto believed that he and Sasuke would not end up the same as Tsuruma and Madara, because Sasuke was different from Madara, and he was different from Tsuruma. Naruto believed that he and Sasuke could bring true peace to the world.
