Chapter 212: Illusion
"Itachi, I said it, you don't have to say sorry, it's your own decision......"
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto both sat on their knees, their backs to Itachi Uchiha, as if they didn't want their son to feel pressured by seeing their faces.
Seeing that his parents were ready to die, Uchiha Itachi endured the grief in his heart and slowly raised the ninja sword.
His movements were extremely slow, completely devoid of the decisiveness of his previous sword in front of the enemy.
"What are you waiting for, Itachi! Neither your mother nor I will blame you! We just ask you to take care of Sasuke after we die......"
"But I ...... father"
"Do it!"
Uchiha Fugaku's roar caused Uchiha Itachi to collapse instantly.
He yelled helplessly, the ninja knife in his hand slashing forward in a haphazard manner.
Poof!
Poof!
Seeing two pools of blood suddenly rushing out from in front of him, Uchiha Itachi suddenly collapsed to the ground weakly, and the two parents in front of him also slowly fell to the side.
They lay silently on the ground, and a large pool of blood was already pouring out of them......
"Father...... Mother...... Rest assured! I'll take care of Sasuke's ......."
Uchiha Itachi weakly supported his body with a ninja sword, and then he barely knelt on the ground, as if all the strength of his body had been drained at this moment.
Countless tears welled up from his eyes, and he wept silently, unable to escape from this desperate grief for a long time.
He thought he could face this moment calmly, because he made such a move for the sake of "righteousness".
But when this moment really came, Uchiha Itachi realized that he was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong!
The death of a loved one is far from being remedied by a phrase "for peace" or "for the sake of justice......
"Is it over? Weasel? ”
"Qimu Shuohui!"
Suddenly hearing the familiar voice from behind him, Uchiha Itachi hurriedly wiped the tears from his face and struggled to stand up.
"It's over! What do you think? Are you satisfied? ”
"Hmm...... Very satisfied, Itachi, you really didn't disappoint me! ”
Hagi Sakuki, who walked into the door, glanced at the two cold corpses on the ground, and stepped forward to pat Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder rather affectionately.
"From now on, you will be an official member of our 'Xiao'! Well..... But before you leave Konoha, there should be dozens of people in the Uchiha clan that you need to deal with! ”
"I know! You don't need to say it! ”
Itachi Uchiha retracted the ninja knife stained with his parents' blood into its scabbard.
Although he tried his best to hide it, the deep sadness in his eyes still did not escape the eyes of Qimu Shuohui.
Without saying anything more, Uchiha Itachi slowly turned around and was about to walk out of the room, but was stopped by Hachiki Shuohui from behind.
"Itachi, I think you seem very sad! What, do you regret it? ”
"I have no regrets!"
"And the tears on your face ......"
"Shut up!"
Uchiha Itachi turned around with a cold face and picked up the cat-faced mask that had fallen to the ground earlier.
"After all, I am not as ruthless as you, although I choose to be with you, I am a person with feelings after all!"
"Huh...... Am I ruthless? ”
Qimu Shuohui whistled at an inopportune time and laughed playfully: "If you admit to regretting it now, I can give you a chance to bring your parents back from the dead......
"What? Dead? ”
Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed greatly: "Have you mastered some evil forbidden art?" As far as I know, there is no ninjutsu in the ninja world that can bring people back from the dead! ”
"Don't worry so much! I'm just asking you now, your parents who killed with your own hands...... Do you regret it? ”
"I ...... I ......"
Hagi Shuohui's words were like sharp swords, and one after another pierced Uchiha Itachi's heart.
The Uchiha Itachi knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands, only to feel dizzy.
In a trance, the relieved eyes of his parents who had just died without a trace of hatred suddenly reappeared in his mind.
He only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a feeling of powerlessness instantly swept through his body.
"I ...... If I say I regret it...... Can you really get my parents back? Can you really bring them back to life? ”
"Of course, I, Qimu Shuohui, don't have the habit of making fun of others at will!"
"But how do we explain it over there? If I hadn't destroyed the rest of the Uchiha clan, I would have betrayed Konoha...... Even if my parents come back, we won't be able to gain a foothold in Konoha anymore......"
"Such a filthy and hypocritical Konoha, why do you want to be loyal to it all the time?"
Suddenly stepping in front of Uchiha Itachi, Hachiki Shuohui bowed down and stared straight at him.
"In the past few years in the shadows, haven't you seen enough of the dark side of Konoha? Do you really want to sacrifice the lives of your family and even the whole clan for the sake of such a village that has long been decaying? ”
"What's the use of you saying that now? You've almost killed all the Uchiha people in the shrine! I'm a sinner in my family now......"
"If I say...... Can I get them all back? ”
"What?"
Itachi Uchiha looked up sharply, his eyes full of disbelief.
"You...... Can you resurrect all the people you killed? Qimu Shuohui....... What exactly is the purpose of your visit to Konoha this time? ”
"Huh...... My purpose is very simple, to subdue you! And, of course, the entire Uchiha clan! I'm giving you another chance to choose, whether or not to join me wholeheartedly with the entire Uchiha clan...... Or continue to be your Uchiha sinner, loyal to that rotten and ridiculous Konoha? ”
"I ......"
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes with a struggling face, and in an instant, the warm scenes of his past life with his parents and clansmen came to mind.
Immediately afterward, he remembered the weak side of the three generations of Hokage Ape Tobi and Danzo's ruthless style......
Time passed minute by minute, and Uchiha Itachi, who had been lying on the ground and thinking for a long time, suddenly stood up and seemed to have made a choice.
He asked in a deep voice, "You....... Is it really guaranteed that my parents and the dead will come back? ”
"Of course, as long as you make the right choice, everything will be as you wish......"
"I choose to follow you! Truly betray Konoha! ”
Uchiha Itachi finally stopped hesitating at this moment, and said in an extremely firm tone: "As long as you can bring them back from the dead, I will officially break away from Konoha and join your 'Xiao' wholeheartedly!" ”
"Hahaha...... Sure enough, if people don't experience loss, they won't know how to cherish it......"
Hachiki Shuohui's words fell, and Uchiha Itachi only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and the world in front of him began to distort, and the Hagi Shuohui standing in front of him also turned into a phantom with this distorted world.
Uchiha Itachi stood up straight, looking at this incredible scene, he suddenly realized something.
A chill instantly filled his face, and the scarlet scarlet appeared in his eyes again.
"Damn...... Was it an illusion? ”
"It's worthy of Qimu Shuohui, who can let me fall into the illusion for so long without realizing it at all......"
