“……”

Sasuke's pupils were wide open, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his immature face. He couldn't believe that this was the truth about Itachi.

"Liars, these are all deceptions. Naruto, why are you helping Itachi create all this nonsense, have you been controlled by Itachi? ”

He seemed flustered, unwilling to accept this fact.

"I was almost killed by this guy Itachi, how could he ...... for me"

Naruto's face was heavy and interrupted Sasuke's words, "If Itachi was serious, you would have died a long time ago, Sasuke." ”

He understood Sasuke, and suddenly knew the truth, no matter who it was, it was difficult to accept.

For a long time, the brother Sasuke wanted to kill was actually done for him, and this kind of love is too deep.

Naruto's gaze swept towards Itachi, the man who had sacrificed everything, who had already closed his eyes.

The warm sunlight poured down from the sky and sprinkled on his body, as if the darkness was suddenly peeled away from his body, and he had no secrets to speak of.

"How can you believe this kind of thing, Itachi is a villain, a criminal who killed a clan......" Sasuke shook his head desperately, unwilling to believe the truth.

"Itachi has always been concerned about Konoha Village, and this time he came to Konoha to help us fight Orochimaru." Naruto explained Itachi's motives, and he continued, "In the previous battle in the village, Orochimaru summoned the first Hokage and the second Hokage, and almost wiped us out, and it was Itachi who helped us break this situation. ”

At that time, Itachi's actions seemed to be a last resort, but in fact, they had already been in his calculations. I can see this, only the three generations of Hokage and Naruto, because only the two of them know the truth about Itachi.

Itachi is a resolute man, and no one can understand what kind of mentality he had in order to kill his parents, lovers, friends, and clansmen. He finally opened his eyes, and the blood-red chakra eye slid into his sockets, and Sasuke's figure appeared in his sight.

As it happens, Sasuke also inadvertently caught a glimpse.

He found that the eyes of his brother, whom he had always hated, were too complicated, and there was nothing more complicated in the world.

What kind of lonely look is that?

"That's enough, Naruto, you don't have to explain too much for me."

"Everybody is going to rely on their own knowledge and knowledge, and they're bound by these things, and they call these things reality. It's just that knowledge and cognition are vague things, and reality may just be a flower in the mirror, and people are living in their own obsessions. ”

"Whether it's me or Sasuke, we're just living in obsession."

Sasuke clenched his teeth, his heart conflicted.

If you believe this truth, what do you do next?

His heart is still simple, like a blank sheet of paper, willing to believe in good things. However, believing also means that the belief he has always believed has collapsed, can he stay in Konoha Village, where he was born?

In the distance in the forest, there were suddenly bursts of undulating human voices.

"Naruto, Sasuke......"

It was the team supported by Konoha that arrived, and the enemies in Konoha Village had been completely eliminated, and they were rushing towards this side.

"Not good."

Naruto Uzumaki quickly stood up and came to Itachi's side.

"Solution!"

The seal on Itachi's body was lifted, and Naruto Uzumaki pulled him up, "Itachi, you go first." ”

Naruto's eyes were unusually determined, "Don't worry, I will definitely testify for you, this is the promise of the future Hokage!" ”

“……”

From the moment he was stigmatized, Itachi didn't value his reputation very much, and whether he could prove it didn't mean much to him.

The clan is no longer there, his parents and lovers have all died in his hands, and the only thing he still cares about is Sasuke.

What will this stupid brother do when he knows the truth?

The distant voices were getting closer, and the ferret's face was calm.

He leaped out, not fleeing, but landing in front of Sasuke.

Two arms slipped from the wide cuffs of Firecloud's black robe, and Itachi helped Sasuke to his feet.

His gaze was deep, and his already emotionless face suddenly bloomed with a relieved smile, "Sasuke, I'm sorry to lie to you all along. ”

Sasuke pursed his mouth, the hatred in his dark eyes receded, and he stared at Itachi, unable to say a word.

What to say? He had no idea that his brain seemed to be in a blank space.

"Sasuke, I don't expect you to take my word for it. But I still want to say that I hope you will stay in the village. In Konoha Village, there are many of my companions and comrades-in-arms, but I can't come back. I hope you will carry forward the name of the Uchiha. ”

Itachi's hand pressed on Sasuke's shoulder, "Don't hate the village because of me, even if I was forced to make such a harsh choice, I have never hated the village until now." ”

"Because, no matter how dark the village is and how many contradictions there are, I am the Uchiha Itachi of Konoha!"

Itachi's eyes flickered, and he looked in the direction of Konoha Village, and the belief in his heart never wavered.

"Alright, it's time for me to go. Sasuke, my brother, I look forward to your growing up. ”

His hand slipped off Sasuke's shoulder, and the upper index and middle fingers of his right hand moved together before moving in front of Sasuke.

Itachi showed the smile of his brother that Sasuke remembered many years ago, and stabbed Sasuke in the forehead with the most familiar movement he had ever known.

"Forgive me, Sasuke!"

His hand was withdrawn into the wide cuffs of the black robe of the Fire Cloud, and his figure disappeared in front of Naruto and Sasuke's eyes.

The distant figure was so lonely that even if the truth about his body was revealed, he still had to turn around and plunge into the embrace of darkness.

Only there is a place where he can be accommodated.

Itachi knew the truth behind Akatsuki from Naruto's memory, and he still had a lot to do.

In Konoha Village and even in the ninja world, Uchiha Itachi is still available, and he wants to protect it all!

Looking at Itachi's departing back, Sasuke was stunned, and a scene from many years ago unconsciously welled up in his mind, which was a memory of his brother.

The afterglow of the setting sun fills the exterior of the residence.

Itachi and Sasuke sit side by side on a wooden couch, the two soaking up the dying sun.

"Sasuke, you are my only brother in this world. As an obstacle that you must overcome, I will live with you. Even if you will be resentful, this is the so-called brother. ”

At the time, Sasuke didn't understand what this meant, but now he finally understood.

It turns out that the Itachi guy has been thinking about doing that for a long time!

Itachi's figure disappeared into the forest, and Sasuke's teeth gritted even tighter, and even the skin of his mouth was bitten into his teeth.

He was choking and choking with tears, but at the edge of his closed eyes, the four lines of clear tears still couldn't stop flowing down.

True grief is something that can't be held back no matter what!

Naruto Uzumaki looked at him, his azure eyes misting as he finally freed the Uchiha brothers from their hatred.

"Sasuke, is it good or bad for you to know the truth so early?"

Sasuke Uchiha seemed too tired, and suddenly fell to the ground on his back.

In the forest in the distance, Konoha's companions arrived immediately.

Naruto Uzumaki was about to pull Sakura and Sakai over together, and the ninja kit behind him trembled!
