On the other side of the island, Sasuke stood alone in the storm, his clothes soaked and his bangs on his forehead wet from the rain and sticking to the sides of his cheeks.

Sasuke had been standing here for a while, and he seemed to be waiting for something, and he seemed to be stagnant with hesitation.

In addition to the sound of wind and rain in the air, the sound of battle could be faintly heard, which was the sound of Uchiha Itachi and Kaki Oni Shark fighting with the Three Tails.

The sound of the wind and rain continued, but the sound of the battle did not stop after a moment.

"Finally ......"

Sasuke placed his hand on the Grass Pheasant Sword and took a slight step forward with his right leg.

The original Sasuke would not hesitate, because Sasuke at that time only wanted revenge, and he couldn't wait to rush to Uchiha Itachi immediately, either kill Uchiha Itachi or be killed by Uchiha Itachi, and be relieved from then on.

However, Sasuke at this moment is not for revenge, but to save Uchiha Itachi and pull Itachi out of the abyss of pain.

Different purpose, different mood.

This may be the cowardice of homesickness!

Revenge is often easy, you just need to be emotionally dominated by impulses, and you can move forward without being swayed by anything.

But in the face of his brother, who has been reunited after a long absence and has borne all the infamy, Sasuke doesn't know what attitude he should take to face Itachi.

In the distance, the battle of the Three Tails is over, and Sasuke has reached the moment when he has to make a choice.

There is a clear line of footprints printed on the muddy soil, and the steps are not hurried or slow, but they are persistently moving forward.

'Rustling ......'

A sound that was not part of the rain slapping the leaves.

Uchiha Itachi paused in his footsteps and looked behind him with a somewhat complicated expression. There was nothing but dense woods, but Uchiha Itachi knew that Sasuke was waiting for him in the woods at the moment.

Uchiha Itachi is just waiting, and he's been waiting for years.

"Oni shark! You go back first! Uchiha Itachi's voice was exceptionally calm.

The ghost shark also noticed the strangeness in the woods, and when he heard Itachi's words, the ghost shark cracked the corners of his mouth and bared his teeth and smiled: "Cut!" Be careful not to get killed! ”

As the words fell, the oni shark manipulated the water flow to control the three tails to continue walking, and the Uchiha Itachi turned around and walked towards the depths of the woods.

'Rustling ......'

Brushing aside the obscured leaves, Uchiha Itachi walked to the clearing in the forest, and Sasuke's originally calm eyes instantly became excited.

"Itachi Uchiha! As promised, I'm coming to you! ”

Sasuke's eyes instantly turned into scarlet three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes, and he glared at Uchiha Itachi and roared, "With the same eyes as you!" ”

Unlike Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi looked quite calm. Compared to Sasuke, who is still unable to control his emotions, Uchiha Itachi can maintain his expression at all times.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Itachi's eyes also turned into the eyes of the three hooks, but the obstruction of the storm, coupled with the already blurred vision, even with the insight of the writing wheels, it was impossible for Itachi to see Sasuke's face clearly at the moment.

"It's really not the right time for this rain......"

Itachi knew that Sasuke had understood the truth about the extermination, and Hinata had also told him about his plan to open Sasuke's eyes.

The plan may succeed, but Itachi knows his body well, and he can't guarantee that he will survive. This may be the last time Itachi will see Sasuke, but he can't even see his brother's face.

Maybe it could be closer.

"Why!"

Sasuke angrily asked, "Itachi! Why do you do that! ”

"I don't understand!"

"There could have been a better choice in the first place, why did you have to go that far!"

After learning the truth about the Uchiha's extermination, this was the only doubt in Sasuke's heart.

Sasuke has communicated with Hinata more than once about the family and the village, and Hinata has also said more than once that if he had to make a choice between the village and the family, Hinata would definitely choose the family.

Sasuke already knew about the situation back then, and Obito and Hinata had told him a little bit.

But since Itachi and Zhishui had that kind of pupil power back then, why didn't they try it. Even if the coup fails, you can escape Konoha with some of your clansmen and live a secluded life.

Extermination...... It's brutal!

Uchiha Itachi said calmly, "It's all over......"

"No!"

Sasuke said coldly, "This matter has not passed, as long as I am here, it will never end!" ”

Sasuke was shrouded in murderous intent, and the cold and evil chakra made the temperature around him extremely cold.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes darkened, he knew Sasuke, if he couldn't give Sasuke a reasonable explanation today, I'm afraid Sasuke would do something more extreme.

"Sasuke! I had no choice but to be in that situation! ”

An abnormal flush flashed on Uchiha Itachi's face, "It's only been seven years since the Nine-Tails Rebellion ended, and Konoha's strength has weakened to its lowest point ever. Once the Uchiha staged a coup d'état, whether the coup was successful or not, Konoha's strength would be further weakened. ”

"Once this happens, the major ninja villages that are already eyeing Konoha will wait for an opportunity, and the country of fire will immediately be enveloped in the flames of war."

"Brother Zhishui and I want to change the family, but we can't do anything!"

Looking at Sasuke, Itachi's tone seemed to be a little weak: "The clansmen have been carried away by lust and violence, immersed in the glory of the Uchiha's past, but they can't see the changes of the times clearly. ”

"Just like you are now...... You won't listen to whatever I say! ”

Sasuke's angry expression suddenly calmed down, and he said indifferently, "Is that because of these?" ”

Uchiha Itachi said slowly, "Sasuke, I was born a few years before you, and I have seen the cruelty of war with my father. Perhaps you will never understand the despair of those civilians when the world is at war! ”

"What used to be a happy, prosperous, and undisputed village will be reduced to ruins in an instant just because ninjas are fighting nearby. The living have lost their relatives and friends, as well as their homes, and they have to wander around the ninja world! ”

"Witnessing such a tragic situation, I can't remain indifferent!"

Looking at Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi said in a firm tone: "I did all this, not just for Konoha, but also for the country of Fire, and also for other countries!" ”

Sasuke's originally cold eyes softened, he was not a cruel person in the first place, and there was a tenderness in his heart. Hearing Itachi's slow narration, Sasuke seemed to be able to understand Itachi's mood at that time.

"Let's get started!"

After a long time, a hint of war appeared in Sasuke's eyes.

The battle with my brother is not mixed with any purpose, but simply wants to defeat my brother who has never been able to defeat.

Sasuke slowly pulled out the Grass Pheasant Sword.

"We've all been waiting for this battle for a long time!"
