From the Sharingan's Genjutsu, Sasuke saw all of Itachi's experiences from childhood to adulthood.
Before Sasuke was born, Itachi lived in Konoha for six years … with his father and mother, full of warmth, it was the missing part of Sasuke's heart.
After all, he never had the experience of living with his parents.
"Itachi … Don't forget to attend tonight's meeting. Although you haven't officially become a ninja, you are my son. Every word and action will be watched, especially … during this' sensitive 'period."
"Understood, I will be there, Father."
The father and son's conversation was very normal, but there was an indescribable sense of heaviness. This was a special period for the Uchiha.
The scene changed to the Naka Shrine meeting. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
"Captain, let's do it! Now that Sandaime is seriously injured, and Yondaime went to the Land of Iron to participate in the Five Kage Summit, this is the best time to act!! "
"Yes, we have had enough of this treatment!!"
"Let them know the backbone of the Uchiha clan!!"
Uchiha Fugaku opened his eyes and looked at his wife Uchiha Mikoto behind the crowd.
Mikoto looked worried as she stroked her slightly swollen belly. She was pregnant for several months.
Itachi, who was only five years old, seemed to see through his mother's worries and held her hand.
"Itachi …" Mikoto looked at her son.
"Mother, no matter what happens, I will protect Sasuke." Itachi said solemnly.
Mikoto's face showed a gratified expression, "I don't know if it is a boy or a girl, how do you know it is Sasuke?"
Itachi smiled gently and didn't answer.
Uchiha Fugaku retracted his gaze and looked around at the crowd and raised his voice, "Everyone, listen to me!"
The crowd quieted down.
Fugaku said, "The village is in danger, if we do anything extreme, it will only increase the village's dissatisfaction with us and put the Uchiha in a more unfavorable situation."
"Captain! We have no way out, is there any room for more unfavorable situation?! "
"Yes, if we swallow our anger, the village will only think that we are easy to bully, and that will be the real disaster!"
Fugaku said majestically, "Then let me ask you, if we go to war now, what are the odds of the Uchiha winning?!"
The crowd was quiet again, many people bowed their heads.
"But, but …" Some people were still unwilling to give up.
Fugaku interrupted: "I know what you want to say. Sandaime was seriously injured, but don't forget that Tsunade Hime also returned to the village! She is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, one of the legendary Sannin, how can her strength be inferior! "
"But the fourth generation …"
"Have you forgotten the name of the Fourth Hokage?!" Fugaku's words woke everyone up.
Yellow … flash!
"That man, even if he is thousands of miles away, as long as he wants, the next moment, he can appear in any corner of Konoha!"
"And Yondaime-sama, as the Hokage, is in charge of the major affairs of the village. At this juncture, he left the village, so how could he not make arrangements? I'm afraid that he has already planted spies in every corner of the village! "
Uchiha Fugaku's words directly suppressed the rising arrogance of the crowd.
"Damn it, does the proud Uchiha Clan have to bow to the rule of Senju?!"
"Yes, Captain! There is also Uchiha Takeshi, the Uchiha Takeshi who defeated Hanzo, the Seven Legendary Swordsmen, the Mizukage, the Hachibi's Jinchuriki, and the Third Hokage, he is an Uchiha Clansman! Why don't you invite him back to the clan? "Some Uchiha suddenly said excitedly.
Hearing this, the other clansmen echoed.
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that?
"If that Uchiha Takeshi returns, we won't be afraid of the Sannin and the yellow flash!"
"I say, are you all blinded?!" Fugaku's sullen voice sounded.
"Captain!?"
"Uchiha Uchiha, regardless of whether he is a member of the Uchiha Clan or not, do you know his background, strength, thoughts, and purpose? Do you know anything about him? We don't know anything about him, but he knows us like the back of his hand, cooperating with such a dangerous person is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin, and it will only push the Uchiha Clan into the abyss of destruction! "
"Therefore, not only can we not cooperate with him, but we must also try our best to distance ourselves from him! I have clarified to the higher-ups more than once that there is no such person in the genealogy of the Uchiha Clan, not in the past, not in the present, and not in the future … Therefore, I forbid any of you to mention this name again, and those who violate this will be severely punished!!! "
"Captain, then please tell us, what is the future of the Uchiha Clan? Are we going to continue to swallow this humiliation?"
After pondering for a while, Fugaku said, "I will find a way to negotiate, the Third Hokage is still reasonable, Yondaime was promoted by the Third Hokage, and he also inherited the will and style of the Third Hokage. The real cause of the Uchiha Clan's predicament is the other higher-ups of the Village. In short, as long as we win the trust of the two Hokages, there is still room for negotiation.
The door of the Naka Shrine opened, and the members of the Uchiha Clan came out with different expressions.
"Captain Fugaku is being too cautious!"
"I think he is just worried about his unborn child! Humph, if that child dies, Captain will no longer hesitate! "One of the Uchiha Clan members said.
"…" Hearing this, some of the more radical members of the Uchiha Clan had a strange look in their eyes.
"Huh?" Suddenly, a boy who was walking at the back of the crowd stopped and looked at the shadow in the forest.
"Shisui, what's wrong?" Itachi asked.
"It's nothing, it should be my illusion …" Shisui said, "And Itachi, you have to tell your father to protect Aunty Mikoto, there is something wrong with the atmosphere of the Uchiha Clan. Maybe someone will do something to the child in her belly …"
"Yes, I have also noticed it, I will not let anything happen to Sasuke!" Itachi's eyes became sharp.
"Itachi … your eyes!" Shisui stared in amazement at Itachi's eyes, at the flickering tomoe!
After that …
Gen really launched an action against Mikoto!
In order to deceive the public, Gen chose a few ninjas to quietly approach Mikoto who was taking a walk outside.
Itachi who was observing in the dark appeared, and with the Shuriken technique he learned from Shisui, he killed several enemies from the blind spots, then he rushed out and fought with all his strength to protect his mother, and only when the other members of the Uchiha Clan arrived did he faint due to exhaustion … Before fainting, Itachi activated the Twin Tomoe!
The scene changed, it was a quiet night.
On the street outside, a group fight broke out, and the Uchiha Clan members who were part of the security force went to maintain the situation.
The pregnant Uchiha Mikoto was leaning on the recliner and stroking her belly, her eyes were tired, but she said softly, "Itachi, I am a little tired, I want to sleep for a while, you should rest early."
On the side of the tatami, the five year old Itachi sat upright and said sensibly, "Okay, I will sleep in a while."
Soon, the sound of Mikoto's even breathing could be heard.
Itachi got up, found a blanket and covered his mother's body, and looked at Mikoto's belly with a smile, "Be good, Sasuke …"
But Itachi didn't go to sleep, he took a kunai and sat down, opened the two tomoe Sharingan, and like a little guardian angel, he stayed by his mother's side.
Itachi held the kunai in his hand tightly, "The group fight broke out suddenly, father and everyone rushed over, but this is too unnatural, as if someone deliberately did this, I must protect mother and Sasuke …"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the paper door reflected a long-haired shadow surrounded by a giant snake …
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, Itachi's Shuriken shot out and penetrated the paper door …
"This …" Orochimaru looked at the kunai between his fingers, the tip of which was only a few centimeters away from his forehead, and his eyes couldn't hide his shock.
"Hmph ~" Immediately, Orochimaru smiled and opened the door.
Whoosh!!
A powerful fireball was shot, and with a bang, it hit Orochimaru's body and repelled him …
Itachi held the kunai and rushed outside. His Sharingan was fixed on Orochimaru, who was standing on the eaves, and his mind was racing, "If those people want to harm Sasuke, wait for the opportunity to challenge father's bottom line, and use this opportunity to start a civil war, they should be disguised, or wear a mask, but this person didn't, could it be his purpose …"
"Are you here for my father?" Itachi asked tentatively.
"Hmph … Wrong, my purpose is you, Itachi!" Orochimaru said frankly.
Itachi was startled, and immediately felt relieved, "With his strength, there is no need to lie to a child like me. Fortunately, he didn't come for mother and Sasuke."
"I understand, can we go somewhere else, there is someone in the room who can't be disturbed." Itachi said half-pleadingly.
Orochimaru looked at Itachi with bright eyes.
"Okay ~" He dodged and jumped away.
Itachi looked deeply at Orochimaru's back, and his hands formed hand seals.
Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Boom! He left the Shadow Clone in place and chased after Orochimaru.
In an open space, Orochimaru stopped and said to Itachi, "At such a young age, you have mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu, it's amazing. You left the Shadow Clone in place, are you afraid that I will go back on my words?"
Itachi said, "No, I can't rule out that you are the only enemy, and I'm not sure if my intuition is correct, so it's just to be safe!"
Orochimaru praised, "What an excellent child, there is no mediocre person who was chosen by Feather-Kun …"
Feather-Kun … Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"However, no matter what you do, you can't resist what is going to happen next ~" Orochimaru licked his lips.
Itachi said, "Maybe, but at least I'm sure of one thing … your goal is indeed me!"
Whoosh! Itachi turned the kunai in his hand and put it on his neck, "If I kill myself, you will be very troubled, or … what will be troubled is the 'Feather-Kun' behind you!"
The wind blew, and the air was silent for a moment. Orochimaru looked at the little figure in front of him in shock, 'Is this really the mind of a five-year-old boy?'
"Looking at your reaction, I should have guessed right …" Itachi said.
"I really can't be careless … Tell me, what do you want?" Orochimaru knew that a boy like Itachi must know the consequences of killing himself, and it may threaten his family, so he just wants to fight for a certain amount of initiative in front of a strong enemy who is far stronger than him.
Itachi said, "My brother is still in the womb, he is now being targeted, with my current strength, it is difficult to protect him until he is born safely, so I want you and the people behind you to protect his safety!"
"Humph, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle, after all, the person who wants your brother dead is the incarnation of the darkness of the shinobi world …" Orochimaru smiled meaningfully.
"No, if it's that Uchiha Takeshi, you have the ability to protect him!" Itachi's eyes were clear, and what he said next shocked Orochimaru again.
"It seems that I guessed right again, the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru-san, you betrayed Konoha and joined the Dark Village, and the person you are working for is the Shadow Uchiha Takeshi, and you haven't killed me yet, because you need me alive …"
With that, Itachi put down his kunai and closed his eyes, "Remember to go back and tell Uchiha Takeshi that if something happens to Sasuke before he is born, I will kill myself immediately, if you know my conditions, please do as you wish!"
"Uchiha Itachi, I'll admit it. Apart from Quill, you are the most surprising Uchiha I've ever seen in my life … Okay, I agree to your conditions." Orochimaru said solemnly, took out the second syringe he prepared, and walked towards Itachi.
Itachi's expression was calm, and there was no struggle or resistance, because … his eyes can not only see things, but also people's hearts!
Orochimaru inserted the needle into Itachi's blood vessel and injected Featherweight's blood.
Throwing away the needle, Orochimaru formed hand seals and once again launched the forbidden Jutsu – Blood Transfer!
Boom! The Shadow Clone left by Itachi disappeared.
"Ouch!" Itachi fell to the ground in pain, and before he fell into a coma, his Sharingan stared at Orochimaru, and the third tomoe appeared on his pupils!
Under Orochimaru's gaze, Itachi didn't forget to say, "Remember my words!"
Boom! The tomoe disappeared, the Sharingan closed, and Itachi fainted.
The scene changed again.
On the eve of the Uchiha Clan's destruction, Itachi, who was six years old, knelt in front of his parents, "Father, mother … I have decided to take Sasuke and leave the village!"
Hearing Itachi's decision, Fugaku and Mikoto were unusually calm, "If that's the case, even if you didn't say it, we were planning to do so anyway …"
Itachi clenched his fists and buried his head on the floor, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, but as the eldest son, I can't share the burden of my father!"
Fugaku sighed, "Itachi, although you are young, your talent and vision are unparalleled in the clan. If you were a few years older, perhaps you could have led the clan to the light, but I can only say that you were born at the wrong time …"
"Your son is ashamed!"
"Itachi, promise me that you and Sasuke will live well together …"
"Yes!"
"Keep Sasuke away from hatred, don't let the Uchiha's curse continue on him …"
"Yes!"
"Also, take care of yourself, I can't watch you grow up, but whether it's heaven or hell, your mother and I will silently bless you!"
"Thank you … Father, Mother …" Itachi's face was full of tears.
Wiping away his tears, Itachi carried his younger brother on his back. In the dark night, Itachi's eyes were full of maturity that didn't match his age.
"After Orochimaru came to find me, Danzo didn't do anything to Sasuke. Uchiha Takeshi must be secretly manipulating him."
"And in such a short time, my Chakra increased many times, it must be related to what Orochimaru injected into me. Uchiha Takeshi needs me to achieve some purpose, no matter where I take Sasuke, he will definitely find me. It's better to go directly to his side, it's easier to take the initiative."
"The most important thing is, he won't hurt Sasuke right now …"
Itachi stopped in his tracks.
Whoosh! The three tomoe Sharingan appeared in his pupils.
With a flick of his wrist, he threw the Kunai towards the bush in the distance.
"Damn it!" The man hiding there narrowed his eyes and cursed under his breath as he waved his sword to strike the kunai.
But just as he was about to rush out and kill the target … he found that the target was already in front of him. The three tomoe eyes were cold and calm, staring straight at him. He wanted to close his eyes, but it was too late!
Boom! With a thunderous heartbeat, his eyes lost focus in an instant.
Whoosh! The Kunai in Itachi's hand cleanly cut his throat.
"Damn it, Uchiha …" Plop! He fell to the ground unwillingly and died.
"Waaah! Waaah! "A cry came from the bag in front of Itachi.
Holding the bloody Kunai, Itachi lowered his head, and his eyes instantly became gentle: "Did I wake you up, Sasuke? I'm sorry …"
Under Itachi's comfort, Sasuke fell asleep again.
In front of the border of the Land of Fire, Itachi looked back at the country behind him with a complicated expression. He didn't know when he would be gone.
"Dad, Mom, and Shisui, I hope there will be a day when we meet again …"
A gust of wind blew the hair on his forehead, he turned around and stepped out of the border of the Land of Fire.
Itachi didn't look back, he took his beloved brother and continued to move forward into the darkness … After many pursuits, crossing three countries, he finally arrived at his destination!
Itachi's clothes were tattered, and his body was covered with bruises, but his brother was still sleeping peacefully in front of his chest.
He looked at the man in front of him with unfathomable eyes under the mask and said: "Are you … Shadow … Uchiha … Feather?"
"Yes, it's me." Feather said.
"I want to join you!"
"Why?"
"The Uchiha are about to launch a rebellion, and it is destined to end in failure. There is no place for me in Konoha."
"What's the real reason?"
"For my brother, Sasuke Uchiha!"
Feather's eyes slightly sank: "How can you be so sure that I will be willing to take over?"
Itachi said without hesitation: "Because my brother survived, thanks to you!"
A gust of wind blew …
Feather looked deeply at Itachi, turned around and said: "Come here."
Plop! At this time, Itachi fell to the ground.
His body has been exhausted for a long time, and he was able to hold on until now by sheer will, but even when he fell, his instinct to protect his brother made him fall to the ground …
Later, it was the experience of the two brothers and Izumi living in Dark Hidden Village. Sasuke also had memories of that period, but the same memories presented a completely different background … Unlike Sasuke's memories, Itachi's memories were warm, but the background was sad!
He has been living in worry, and as Kabuto said, Itachi was thinking about the future!
Six years later, Dark Village, Amane Pavilion.
"Nissan! Rice Rice Rice (Look, look)! "
Sasuke, who was six years old, showed off the paper crane he just folded to Itachi …
Itachi, who was 12 years old, looked at his brother in front of him with the same gentleness in his eyes as before: "Sasuke, you are so smart …"
"Itachi, Sasuke, let's eat ~" Uchiha Izumi put the food on the table, took off the apron tied on her body, and looked at Itachi with affection in her eyes.
Yes, these years … she has been living with Itachi and his brother in the same room.
When Itachi was away, she took care of Sasuke, and when Itachi was here, she accompanied him.
After eating, Sasuke fell asleep on Izumi's lap.
"Izumi, these years … it's really hard for you." Itachi said to Izumi.
"Why are you suddenly saying this, between us, is there a need to be so polite …" Izumi's little face was red, and two fingers were twisted together: "Aren't we like, like …"
"Izumi … I may have to perform a long-term mission soon." Itachi interrupted Izumi's words.
"Long-term mission? As long as the Ryumyaku mission? "Izumi was startled.
"It may be longer than that, so …"
"Is it dangerous?" Izumi's eyes were filled with worry.
"Ninja's mission is always accompanied by danger …" Itachi's answer was a bit vague.
"But, I have never seen you like this before, Itachi, are you hiding something from me …"
Itachi's face showed a smile, and stroked Izumi's head: "Don't think too much, really."
"Then you … will come back, right?"
"Of course, so, please take care of Sasuke and wait for me to come back …"
"Un! No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you! "
Late at night, Izumi and Sasuke had already fallen asleep.
Itachi turned his head, looked at the two deeply, and went out.
In a secret place, a figure with his back facing him, his whole body was hidden in a black robe, exuding an unusual aura …
That aura, even with Itachi's tolerance, felt unfathomable!
Half a month ago, Itachi received a secret letter, telling him to come to the place mentioned in the letter alone at this time!
This secret letter … appeared on the bed after he woke up!
Itachi was shocked. Someone could sneak into the Dark Hidden Village, which was protected by a barrier, without being discovered by anyone!
Although, at that time, the Shadow didn't seem to be in the village.
"Sure enough, you came alone, didn't you inform the Shadow? You really surprised me." The figure with his back facing Itachi said.
"If I had informed Shadow, you probably wouldn't have shown up!" Itachi said.
"Not appearing here is better than … the risk of not being able to go back."
"If you really had such a plan, you would've made your move without me noticing. Why did you have to make such an unnecessary move? You must want to confirm something through this, right … "Itachi looked at the figure in front of him with complicated eyes.
"…" After a moment of silence, the figure turned around and took off the mask on his face, revealing a familiar face with a hearty smile: "Itachi, you really became an excellent ninja as I thought …"
"It's really you, Brother Shisui …"
"Itachi, over the years, I have been looking for your whereabouts, and it wasn't until half a year ago that I heard that you joined the Dark Village and became one of the direct disciples of Uchiha Uchiha Hajime, and that you are now the commander of the Dark Team, Tian Tian!"
"Brother Shisui, where have you been all these years?" Itachi asked with complicated eyes.
After a moment of silence, Shisui said: "I joined … Akatsuki."
"What!? Akatsuki! Is this the strongest mercenary organization in the ninja world? Then why haven't I heard any news about you? "
"Well, the condition for me to join the Akatsuki is that the leader of the Akatsuki must conceal my true identity … Over the years, I acted as a member of the Akatsuki while monitoring the actions of the organization!"
Shisui said and looked at Itachi: "Itachi, you came to the Dark Hidden Village for the same purpose and idea as me, right?"
Itachi said frankly: "Six years ago, I didn't listen to my father's arrangement and came to the Dark Hidden Village with this intention …"
"Let's not talk about this for now, I have something to give you.
Shisui took out a container with an eye in it: "Six years ago, on the night of the Uchiha's destruction, Fugaku-San entrusted me to give this to you! It's your father's right eye! "
Itachi reached out his trembling hand and took it: "It's my father's … eye?"
"Yes, that night, Fugaku-San wanted to control the Kyuubi to protect the Uchiha, but he was seen through by Danzo. When I saw Fugaku-San, his left eye had already been taken away by Danzo."
"I advised Fugaku-San to leave with me, but he was determined to live and die with the Uchiha, and he entrusted me to give you his right eye so that you can obtain the true power of the Mangekyo …"
"Now, I will show you everything I witnessed on the night of the Uchiha's destruction, Itachi, look at my eyes!"
Whoosh!
Shisui's eyes turned into the Mangekyo Sharingan, showing everything he witnessed with these eyes to Itachi without reservation!
"Father, Mother, everyone!"
Plop! Itachi knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were bloodshot … Until the anger and pain broke through the critical point, he suddenly covered his eyes, and blood flowed down from the corners of his eyes!
Whoosh! The three tomoe changed dramatically, and he opened the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Looking at Itachi's eyes, Shisui said with a complicated expression, "Sure enough, as I expected, when you witness this scene with your own eyes, you will also open these eyes …"
After a long time, Itachi's emotions finally calmed down, he wiped the blood and tears on his face, and stood up, "Shisui nii-san, in addition to completing my father's entrustment and opening these eyes for me, there should be something more important …"
Shisui said, "In the past five years, I have been lurking in the Akatsuki and discovered a secret … The leader of the Akatsuki, on the surface, is Pain, the Village Chief of the Rain Village, but in fact, it is someone else!"
"Someone else?"
"Uchiha Takeshi Anbu!"
"What? But the Anbu and Pain had an earth-shattering battle of life and death in the Land of Kusanagi, everyone in the Shinobi World knows about it! "
"Yes, I was also confused by this matter, but later I found out that … it was actually a self-directed and self-performed play by the two of them to deceive the entire Shinobi World!"
Shisui said, "So, the Akatsuki is the extension of Uchiha Takeshi Anbu's purpose and ambition! On the surface, he is developing the Anbu village on par with the five hidden villages, but in the dark, he is developing the Akatsuki … His real purpose is to collect tailed beasts! "
"Tailed beasts!? Isn't the Akatsuki a mercenary organization? "
"It hasn't started yet … The plan is to be carried out in three years, because the Sanbi died seven years ago and hasn't been resurrected yet!"
"Then why not take action in advance? Even without the Sanbi, the other tailed beasts are also extremely powerful! "
"About this, I have also asked the leader, but the leader's answer is that the Akatsuki is accumulating combat power, and it is not appropriate to fight with the five major countries at the moment. In addition, he is afraid of alerting the enemy, and he is worried that the other countries will secretly dispose of the Jinchuriki. There was a precedent decades ago, when the Tsuchikage used Dust Release to kill the Jinchuriki of the village that was almost taken away by the enemy country!"
Shisui said, "But I think that since the Akatsuki is the Anbu behind the scenes, then things are definitely not that simple … He must want to achieve some purpose through the tailed beasts, something more terrible than combat power! It is beyond our current level of cognition! And the dead Sanbi … is an indispensable part of it! In other words, any tailed beast is indispensable! Therefore, he has to wait until the Sanbi is resurrected before he starts to act! "
"If he succeeds … then the ninja world will usher in a disaster! Therefore, we must stop Uchiha Takeshi! Otherwise, I am afraid the tragedy of our clan will play out in the ninja world! "
Itachi asked, "How do you want to stop it?"
Shisui covered his eyes and said deeply, "Kotoamatsukami, my Mangekyo Sharingan's unique dojutsu can change the other party's thoughts without them noticing, and make them act according to their own will …"
Itachi's pupils suddenly shrank, "You want to use this dojutsu on the Anbu?"
Shisui said, "Yes! I know that this is not an easy thing to do! I am not the Anbu's opponent in a head-on collision. If I want to find the opportunity to use this dojutsu, I must get close to the Anbu, and then let him look into my eyes. Itachi, I need your help! "
"…" Itachi was silent at this time.
If it was six years ago, he would have made a decision without hesitation, but now …
Shisui said, "Itachi, I know this will make it difficult for you, after all, you are now under the grace of the Anbu …"
"No, this is not the only thing that makes me worry." Itachi looked at the sky, and his eyes were full of thoughts that were inconsistent with his age, "Shisui, no matter how superior this dojutsu called Kotoamatsukami is, using it to control people's thoughts in exchange for peace, isn't it too empty …"
Shisui clenched his hands, "Of course, I know that relying on dojutsu is not a long-term solution, but it can always solve the urgent problem! Uchiha Uchiha is the most unstable factor for Heiko, at least we can use Kotoamatsukami to stabilize him first, and then find other ways to deal with him. Itachi, please, I have never asked you for anything since I was a child! Only this time, please help me! "
Itachi looked at Shisui, "Brother Shisui, if you use Kotoamatsukami on me, I should be unable to resist …"
Shisui said frankly, "Yes! But I don't want to do that to my only friend! "
"Can you give me time to think about it? After three days, I will give you an answer … "Itachi said.
"Okay, I will wait for you!"
In this way, Itachi returned to the Dark Village with a heavy heart …
Late at night, Itachi received a notice from his companion Yugao and came to the ninth floor of the Dragon Subduing Tower.
Using the inextinguishable candles on both sides, Itachi stood in front of the stone tablet, opened his Mangekyou Sharingan, and after reading the content of the stone tablet, he clenched his hands.
The stone tablet is the secret that guides the evolution of Mangekyou Sharingan!
What Mangekyou Sharingan sees is the secret of the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
"Itachi, you really opened these eyes, have you seen Shisui?" A calm and deep voice sounded behind him.
"It seems that the person who asked Yugao to guide me here is also you, Sensei …" Itachi turned around and looked at Feather with his Mangekyou Sharingan, "How did you find out that I met Shisui?"
Feather said, "In the past few days, your behavior has been a bit strange, there are very few things that can make your mood fluctuate like this, but I am just guessing, so I asked Yugao to tell you about Danzo and the stone tablet."
"If you come here, it means that you have opened your Mangekyou Sharingan, but on the other hand, you can't not notice my intentions, but you still came, it means that you also have something to ask me …"
Whoosh! The candle flame flickered violently.
Itachi clenched his fists and was on full alert.
Feather said, "Don't worry, I am a person who values friendship. What you have done for the Dark Village in the past six years, I have seen it with my own eyes, and you are also my disciple, I will listen to you and then make a decision …"
Itachi loosened his hands and asked, "Sensei, are you behind the Akatsuki?"
"Yes," Feather said frankly.
"Is your purpose to collect the Bijuu?" Itachi asked again.
"Yes ~ This is what Shisui told you, it is really amazing that you can investigate to this point …" Feather looked at the top of the Dragon-Patterned Tower.
Itachi said, "Seven years ago, you asked Orochimaru to do something to me and Shisui. I sneaked into Orochimaru's laboratory and investigated what you did to us, but I didn't understand why you did this …"
"It wasn't until I saw the content of the stone tablet that I finally understood why you used your precious blood and Orochimaru's forbidden technique to turn me and Shisui into your brothers …"
"…" Feather was speechless, he couldn't help but sigh, Itachi, you even noticed this?
Itachi clenched his fists again, "We are the candidate eyes for you to open the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, right?"
The air suddenly became quiet, and the candle flame flickered, just like people's hearts …
Feather finally broke the silence, "Everything is worthy of different treatment because of different standards, otherwise, you would have already gone with the flow and perished along with the Uchiha Clan instead of living until now, isn't that the case? Itachi. "
"Then how did you determine that Shisui and I have such standards? At that time, we were just children, we weren't even sure if we could open the Mangekyou Sharingan … "This was the only doubt lingering in Itachi's heart.
Feather's mouth under the mask evoked a strange smile, "Do you want to know?"
"If you think I deserve to know …"
"Not a bad answer, good … Let's start from this face!"
Feather took off his mask, "Since you were four years old, you have witnessed the Shinobi World War with your eyes, you should recognize me …"
Itachi was shocked, "Uchiha, Obito!?"
"Since you recognize this face, then it's easy, look at my eyes, don't resist!"
Whoosh! Feather's eyes turned into Mangekyou Sharingan.
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
A huge amount of information poured into Itachi's mind in an instant! … And that information also poured into Sasuke's mind!
"This is!?" Although Sasuke was surprised, he forced himself to calm down and continued to check Itachi's memory.
Plop!
"Huff, huff, huff …" Itachi supported himself on the ground with one hand, covered his eyes and gasped violently, his whole body was wet with cold sweat!
Whoosh! Black blood gushed out from the corner of Feather's eyes, and there was yellow pus, those eyes … were about to be destroyed.
Feather said in a deep voice, "This is the future I have seen with my own eyes! It's just that I didn't participate enough in that future! So, it was destroyed! God didn't kill me, I went back to the past, this time, I will reverse that future! "
"Shadow … Uchiha Takeshi is actually Uchiha Obito who returned from the future, this kind of thing!" Itachi's voice couldn't hide the horror.
"Shadow!? He came back from the future!? "Sasuke was shocked.
Feather said, "I have witnessed what you and Shisui have done, so I chose you as my future eyes. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is the first choice, and Itachi, your Tsukuyomi is the second choice …"
"Second choice?"
"Yes, no one can predict what will happen. In case something happens to Shisui and I can't get his eyes, I will use your eyes. In short, no matter what, I have to get enough power, only in this way can I protect this Shinobi World!!"
Itachi said earnestly, "I can offer my eyes as an offering! Please let Shisui go!! "
Feather shook his head, "Kotoamatsukami, that kind of dojutsu that can threaten my personality, really, no matter what, can't be used outside …"
Itachi said, "In any case, do you want to kill Shisui?"
"Yes." Feather nodded, he was even ready to fight with Itachi here.
"I understand! Then can you let Shisui see the scene you just showed me, so … maybe we can avoid the battle! "
Feather said, "I won't do that, because no one can guarantee that he won't take the opportunity to use Kotoamatsukami on me."
"Then please let me go!" Itachi said, "Let me try to persuade Shisui!"
"Itachi, your vision and vision are really not limited by the clan!"
Feather looked at Itachi deeply and sighed, "Itachi … whether you succeed or not, you are a good person, I will not treat you badly!"
At night, Itachi saw Shisui in the same place.
"Itachi, you really came, let me hear your answer."
"Brother Shishui … I've already met with Shadow. He found out that we've met."
"Then why did Shadow ask you to come and see me?" Shisui's eyes immediately looked around vigilantly.
"Brother Shisui, please don't worry, Shadow is not here now, I have something to tell you, please look at my eyes!"
So, Itachi fed back the information that Feather transmitted in the illusion to Shisui.
"Huff, huff, huff …" After the feedback, Itachi covered his left eye and gasped. After all, the information was too much.
"Unbelievable!" Shisui was still in shock and couldn't come back to his senses.
"Brother Shisui, what do you think?"
Shisui said cautiously, "Itachi, how can you be sure that Shadow is not lying to you? As long as the power of Mangekyo is strong enough, it can create such a realistic illusion and inner experience, you can't rely on this to believe Shadow! "
Itachi said confidently, "I have been with Shadow for seven years, I know what kind of person he is, Brother Shisui, I know better than you, please believe in my judgment!"
Shisui said, "Even if what he has experienced is true, how can I believe that he won't carry out cruel rule after getting enough power? After getting enough power, people will change, I can't entrust the future of the ninja world to such an unstable person!"
Itachi's eyes darkened, "So you still decided to use Kotoamatsukami on Shadow?"
"Instead of believing in him, I would rather believe in myself!" Shisui said apologetically, "Itachi, I'm sorry, I got you involved in this …"
"Brother Shisui, it's me who should apologize …" Itachi said sadly and injected Chakra into the Kamui imprint that Feather left on him.
"Itachi, although our choices are different, you will always be my best friend! No matter what happens after tonight, the future of the clan is in your hands! "
Itachi was in a coma, so he didn't see the battle between Feather and Shisui. When he woke up, the battle was already over, and Shisui was trapped in Feather's Izanami.
Itachi said with concern, "Shadow sama, Shisui, he …"
Feather explained what happened to Shisui.
"Itachi, I am a person who cherishes talents, and I don't want to kill a genius like Shisui unless it's a last resort …"
Yes, knowing that he couldn't get Shisui's left eye, Feather didn't choose to kill him to vent his anger, but used Izanami to reshape his original character.
This is also the most acceptable result for Itachi.
Otherwise, even if Itachi's vision is great, it will inevitably leave a knot in his heart.
Feather may face the loss of two talents at once!
"Ouch!!!" At this time, Shisui, who was standing there motionless, suddenly let out a cry and collapsed on the ground.
"Shisui!!" Itachi, who had been paying attention to Shisui without saying a word from the beginning, rushed forward and supported Shisui.
"Huh! Huh! Itachi, Itachi … is that you? "Shisui gasped.
"It's me, I'm here, are you okay?" Itachi asked anxiously.
"I'm, I'm fine … Is, is Shadow sama here?" Shisui asked.
"I'm here." Feather said.
"Itachi, help me to Shadow sama!"
"But your body."
"Help me …"
Itachi supported Shisui and walked to Feather.
Shisui knelt on one knee and sincerely said, "Shadow sama, when I found out that I had Kotoamatsukami's eye technique, I was deeply regretting that I didn't awaken this eye earlier, perhaps I could have saved the clan from this disaster."
"This regret made me go into a dead end, and unknowingly, I became extremely self-centered, thinking that I can change anything with this pair of eyes …"
With that said, Shisui laughed at himself, "I said to Itachi that maybe after you gain power, you will lose yourself and implement a cruel rule, but now it seems that the person who lost himself is precisely me!"
"Thank you for using this one million reincarnations to let me find my forgotten self in the past, thank you for letting me understand that something more important than a strong eye power is to keep my heart!"
"In the future, as you wish, I will devote myself to the Shadow Village and become Shadow sama's … helper."
Shisui said until here and lost consciousness because he was too tired.
"Shisui, you didn't let me sacrifice my eye in vain …" Feather covered his right eye.
At this time, Itachi suddenly made an amazing move, he reached his hand into his eye socket and dug out his left eye, "Sensei, please use my left eye!"
Feather expected that Itachi would do this.
Therefore, he didn't reject it pretentiously, because he needed this strength!
"Itachi … Your sacrifice will save the ninja world one day, I promise!" Feather said solemnly and took Itachi's left eye.
"Take Shisui back to the village, and wait for me to come back!"
In front of the bed.
Shisui was lying on the bed, his right eye was wrapped in bandages, he was still unconscious!
Itachi was sitting in front of the bed, his two eye sockets were empty!
Feather has come, he has awakened his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
"Itachi … You!?"
"Sensei … Is that you?" Itachi turned around.
"What about your right eye?"
"I gave my right eye … to Shisui."
"You did this, did Shisui agree?"
Itachi shook his head: "It's my idea. In this way, Shisui will be able to obtain eternal eye power. His blind right eye will recover along with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and he will inherit my Amaterasu. In this way, Shisui will be able to help the Shadow in the future …"
Feather clenched his hand, "Itachi, transplant your father's eye! When I killed Danzo, I took your father's left eye from him! "
He took out the bottle containing Fugaku's left eye.
Itachi took the bottle and said, "Shisui has already given my father's right eye to me …"
"That's good, you have both eyes, you can use your father's eyes!"
Itachi's empty eye sockets were looking out of the window … Obviously, there were no eyes, but it was as if he was looking into the distance, "This pair of eyes will go blind sooner or later, because I am the Shadow's brother, not my father's son …"
Itachi's voice was very calm, he was just stating the facts without any complaint, "Eyes that are destined to go blind will not be of use in the future when the catastrophe comes …"
Itachi turned his head, "Sensei, I have a request, please promise me no matter what …"
"You, say it!"
"I want to leave with my father's eyes!"
"And then?"
"In the future, please let Sasuke know that I am the one who destroyed the Uchiha Clan!"
Feather frowned, "Is this necessary?"
Itachi calmly said, "Yes, Sasuke is still a child, but he is different from other children, he doesn't have his own parents and clansmen. When he realizes that he is different, he will inevitably seek the truth, and when he learns the truth, he will choose to take revenge on Konoha …"
"But Danzo is dead, he was killed by me!"
"Sensei, are you saying … that it was only Danzo who killed the Uchiha?"
Feather was silent for a long time, and then said, "I can use Kotoamatsukami to eliminate this risk …"
Itachi said, "Shadow, in the future you showed me, I saw myself trying to use Kotoamatsukami on Sasuke. At that moment, I realized that in the future, I may have made the same mistake as Shisui. Using Dojutsu to guide a person is wrong from the beginning …"
Feather was silent, indeed … including himself, he may not hesitate to use Kotoamatsukami on the enemy, but to ask him to use it on his wife and daughter, he can't do it!
Even if the effect of Dojutsu is to make the other party come from the heart!
But the essence is to impose one's own will on the other party, and this is a kind of harm to the people close to you!
Itachi … was also for the same reason.
He didn't want to use Kotoamatsukami on his brother, for this reason, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself to help his brother …
Itachi said in a deep voice, "So, the hatred of the destruction of the clan must be carried by someone, I don't want it to be Konoha, but … I hope it's me, Uchiha Itachi!"
"When Sasuke knows the truth, please guide him to take revenge on me! I will die in his hands and help him awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan … "
Itachi put Fugaku's eyes into his eye sockets, and two lines of blood flowed down from the corners of his eyes. Whoosh! When he opened his eyes, the Mangekyou pattern appeared, "Then … use this pair of father's eyes to open the eternal light for Sasuke!"
"Although I will leave, but I won't really leave. I will join the Anbu of the Dark Village, and together with Mangetsu -san, I will protect the village in the dark, so that the Shadow will have no worries. This is my, Uchiha Itachi's, request for a lifetime, please, you must agree!"
After that … Itachi joined the Anbu of the Dark Village, secretly guarding the village where his brother lived, and at the same time, paying attention to his brother's growth.
Sasuke's every step was followed by Itachi's shadow, but Sasuke was unaware of all this.
Later, when the Ninja Country was established, the Shadow suddenly summoned him.
The two men who secretly guarded the village for eight years came to the palace and knelt down on one knee, "Shadow sama!"
Feather said, "Now, take off your masks …"
"Mangetsu!"
"Yes!"
"From now on, you are conferred as the Shadow Duke of the Dark Ninja Country, and when the 'Ghost City' is built in the future, you will serve as the Lord of the city!"
Mangetsu was surprised, "Duke, Lord of the city? If I become the Lord of the city … Who will take over the Anbu in the future? "
To be honest, the Anbu can no longer meet the needs. 180,000 square kilometers of land needs a more robust mechanism.
Feather smiled lightly, "Don't worry, Mangetsu, I have arranged everything. From now on, you will be the Lord of the city, and share my worries!"
Mangetsu was at a loss, "But … I don't know how to be the Lord of the city, and I don't know if I can do it well."
Feather said, "You have confidence, you can do it."
Mangetsu thought about it and said, "I will do my best to live up to your trust!"
Feather nodded and looked at Itachi, "Uchiha Itachi!"
"Yes!"
"From now on, you are conferred as the Shadow Duke of the Dark Ninja Country, and when the 'Ghost City' is built in the future, you will serve as the Lord of the city!"
"Understood, but …"
Bzzz! Feather's eyes flashed and sent a message.
Don't worry, Itachi … Whether it is you or Mangetsu, when you are announced to the nation, you will be referred to as Duke, and your names will be hidden.
Thus, the two accepted the title with peace of mind.
It wasn't easy to change classes from darkness to light. Itachi, after becoming the Lord of the city, had to fumble his way forward. His decisions as the Lord of the city, from a ruler's point of view, weren't perfect, but they were full of benevolence and righteousness!
He quickly gained the people's approval, and in half a year, the city's people lived in peace and contentment.
When he learned of Sasuke's disappearance in Hell Valley.
Itachi, then the Lord of Ghost City, stood alone in the rain.
Shisui came to visit him, "Itachi … Sasuke's matter."
"Sasuke … is still alive." Itachi said.
"!" Shisui was shocked.
Itachi clenched his fists, "It seems … we need to hurry."
Half a year later, Sasuke returned safe and sound.
Itachi found Shadow and told him of his desire to fight Sasuke.
Feather asked a very realistic question: "Itachi … After the battle between you and Sasuke, what kind of way do you plan to exist in the world? First of all, according to your idea, my Ogami Toku-Ryu won't work because you died in Sasuke's hands. If I reverse your time, the implication of cause and effect will interfere with Sasuke, and then your plan will become full of loopholes."
"Therefore, I recommend Edo Tensei. Wait until my Rinnegan awakens, then I will resurrect you …"
Then, Itachi, who always held Feather in high regard, looked at him with a sharp gaze, "Before we talk about this, Lord Shadow, I have something to ask you … How do you plan to awaken your Rinnegan? If Sasuke is Indra's reincarnation, the most direct way to obtain his power is to transplant his eyes, right?"
In the face of such a sharp contradiction, Feather said bluntly, "If it was before, I would have indeed planned to do so …"
Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then, what about now?"
Feather looked at the mark on his palm, "Now, there is no need to use that barbaric method …"
Itachi asked, "Then, how much will your method affect Sasuke?"
Feather said, "I can assure you that at least it won't affect the foundation of his growth …"
Itachi clenched his fist slightly, "In other words … more or less, there will always be some impact?"
Feather nodded, "Yes, but I will consider compensating him in other ways …"
After thinking for a long time, Itachi's hand loosened, "Lord Shadow, thank you for telling me this frankly … After I die, please allow me to be reborn in Edo Tensei, but please allow me to take the initiative to get rid of the control of Edo Tensei. I will still serve you in the Hidden Ninja Kingdom, but …"
Feather said the following words for Itachi, "But, you will monitor me, and will you fulfill your promise?"
Itachi said, "I'm sorry … You are so kind to me, I shouldn't do this, but only Sasuke, my beloved brother, I will protect him at all costs! Of course, you can also choose to use Kotoamatsukami on me, but correspondingly, I also have my own countermeasures! "
When it comes to his brother, Itachi is so tough!
"Oh? Itachi, as expected of you … You have considered all possibilities. " Feather didn't doubt Itachi's words at all. Since he dared to say it, he really found a way to deal with Kotoamatsukami.
Feather said, "Okay, I promise you …"
Itachi's tense face immediately relaxed, it can be seen that he still respected and trusted Feather in his heart, "Please order Konoha's subordinates to prohibit any mention of the truth of the Uchiha Clan's extermination! Let that matter be buried in the long river of history forever! Eliminate the possibility of letting Sasuke know! "
"Yes." Feather nodded in agreement.
Itachi Xiang Yu bowed down, "Then, after I leave, I'll leave it to you, Lord Shadow!"
The battle of brothers … through Itachi's perspective!
While Sasuke was thinking about how to kill Itachi, Itachi was careful everywhere, afraid of killing Sasuke. He was also thinking about how to make the battle process go back and forth, so that Sasuke wouldn't be suspicious!
Sasuke thought that they were evenly matched and barely won … but it was just a joke! Just as Kabuto said, if Itachi was serious, he would have died long ago!
"Itachi, welcome back …" Feather put down his hand and greeted with a smile, "Do you need me to tell you the seal to get rid of the control of Edo Tensei?"
"No need, I've already investigated it." Itachi formed a seal with both hands and pressed on the ground.
— — Edo Tensei Kai!
When he got up again, Itachi had already gotten rid of the control of Edo Tensei.
Feather said, "I've already helped Sasuke transplant your father's eyes. Soon, he will be able to open the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan …"
Itachi said, "Thank you for your care."
Feather said, "Do you want to return to Mirage City and be the City Lord?"
Itachi looked into the distance and said, "Can Mirage City be left to Sasuke to manage?"
"Oh?" Feather asked curiously, "Yes, but why?"
Itachi looked into the distance and said, "Although Sasuke has great power, he is still a child at heart. He can easily be tainted by all kinds of colors. He still has a long way to go. I don't want him to take the wrong path. So, I want to let him practice the ways of the world and understand the principles of doing things through governing the city …"
"Of course, in order to be responsible for the people and ninjas in the city, we must have experienced people to assist him in managing the city. This is my personal request!"
After saying that, Itachi solemnly bowed in front of Feather.
Feather quickly helped Itachi up and said, "There's no need for that. After Sasuke opens his eyes, I will appoint him to inherit the position of Mirage Duke. I will also find experienced people to guide and assist him!"
Itachi said, "Thank you very much! I will join the 'Dark Mantle' and work with Shisui to clear the obstacles for the Ninja Kingdom in the dark! "
Itachi, who had stepped down from the City Lord's seat, was active as a member of the Dark Mantle with the Edo Tensei. He participated in the ninja war with Shisui. At the critical moment, he stopped Black Jue's scheme and saved Feather's life!
After the ninja war, Feather found Itachi and proposed to use the Rinne Tensei Jutsu to resurrect him.
Itachi refused, "No, it's not the time yet. If I resurrect, I will lose this pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. I need to protect the Ninja Kingdom and Sasuke. I can't lose this pair of eyes. When the world is peaceful, Sasuke grows up, and I have no worries, then resurrect me …"
However, Itachi experienced the biggest miscalculation in his life. Because of the hidden dangers of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm and the appearance of Kabuto, Sasuke didn't go on the path that Itachi expected …
Itachi thought about it again and again, and finally appeared in front of Sasuke, letting him see the four tastes in his life, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty, but not sweet!
Outside, Feather looked at the screen with a complicated expression, "Sasuke … Did you know that Itachi, who likes to eat sweet things, suffered a lifetime of bitterness?"
In the Ningu Tower.
"So … it's like this!" Sasuke sat on the ground, painfully covering his eyes. He finally understood that the sadness reflected in his eyes didn't come from his father, who he had never met, but from his brother, Uchiha Itachi!
