The sky was dyed red by the setting sun, and the pink clouds were reflected on the surface of the river. The entire surface of the river looked brand new, and at this moment, it was as if a raging fire had ignited on the horizon.
Sasuke looked at the place in front of him that had been abandoned for a long time with a complicated look in his eyes.
This place was originally a base of the Uchiha Clan. Shen personally told him about this place. The Uchiha Clan was also one of the largest clans in the Shinobi World. During the Warring States period, their influence was extremely wide. Even after they joined forces with Senju to establish Konoha, they were still extremely powerful.
Therefore, in the Land of Fire, there were many former bases of the Uchiha Clan. Sasuke didn't know how long the place in front of him had been abandoned. Looking at the desolation in front of him, Sasuke's thoughts were complicated. Before Shen told him the truth, he had imagined the arrival of this moment countless times. But now, when this moment really came, there was some bitterness in his heart.
After a long time, Sasuke put away his thoughts, and his eyes changed, returning to the indifference of the past. Although he already knew the so-called truth from Shen, he still wanted to get confirmation from Itachi.
In the end, Sasuke firmly walked towards the base!
.....
Tap … Tap … Tap …
Light footsteps sounded in the dilapidated corridor in the base. Sasuke walked in the corridor, his footsteps were neither fast nor slow. He looked surprisingly calm, but the complicated look in his eyes from time to time showed that he wasn't as indifferent as he looked on the surface.
The corridor wasn't very long, and he soon reached the end. At this time, Sasuke stopped outside a door at the end of the corridor, slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them. His eyes had transformed into Sharingan, and the blood-red color in his eyes made Sasuke even more ferocious. After that, Sasuke didn't stop and walked into the door without any delay!
This was a spacious room, or rather, a hall. The surrounding walls were already broken and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. At the end of the hall, there was a painting with the word "Fox" and a few tomoe hanging on it. Below the wall, there was a stone chair. A figure wearing a black robe with red clouds was sitting on the chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Sasuke slowly walked in front of this person. After stopping, he looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes. He didn't say anything, just watched quietly. At this time, the person in front of Sasuke slowly opened his closed eyes and looked at Sasuke expressionlessly. He didn't feel the slightest surprise.
Similar face, the same blood-red Sharingan, the same calm expression, the only difference is that there are two more deep Law Lines on the other person's face. This person is the target of Sasuke's trip, and the man Sasuke wanted to kill all the time, Uchiha Itachi!
"Long time no see, Sasuke!"
Itachi took the lead to speak and broke the silence. There was no joy or anger in his indifferent tone, and there was no emotion on his face. The scarlet three tomoe in his eyes were as calm as ever.
However, Itachi's heart was obviously not as calm as it seemed on the surface. Compared to Sasuke who questioned him and even attacked him when he saw him before, this coldness was a metaphor for Sasuke's growth. Itachi felt gratified in his heart.
"Yes, long time no see. I used to fantasize about the arrival of this day all the time!" Sasuke's indifferent voice sounded, and his face was still indifferent. However, at this time, his Sharingan had involuntarily entered the Mangekyo form. This was a reaction that could only be caused by uncontrollable emotional fluctuations.
Looking at Sasuke's already formed Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi couldn't help but be silent for a while. He clearly knew the conditions of Mangekyo Sharingan and had experienced that kind of pain. If he could, he would rather Sasuke never have to suffer that kind of pain.
Although he felt bitter in his heart, Itachi didn't show it. He still looked indifferent and said coldly, "Mangekyo Sharingan … your eyes seem to have grown a lot! But … how far can those eyes of yours see? "
Now, seeing Itachi's appearance as if nothing had happened, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little angry when he thought of the truth that had been concealed over the years. Then he thought of Itachi's physical state that Shen had mentioned before. Sasuke said coldly, "Hmph ~ What I see with my eyes is the appearance of your death!"
Hearing this familiar answer, Itachi couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment, because when he first met Shen, Shen had already said this to him once, and now he heard it from his other younger brother's mouth. Such a coincidence, and it's his two favorite younger brothers, even Itachi, who has always been indifferent, couldn't help but smile in his heart.
Ignoring Itachi's thoughts, Sasuke had his own purpose for this trip. Although he had learned the truth from Shen and had been confirmed by Danzo, he still wanted Itachi to answer him personally.
"Tell me, what is the truth of that year? Is everything Shen said true?"
In the face of Sasuke's question, Itachi wasn't surprised. When Sasuke was willing to go to Konoha with Shen and kill Danzo, he understood that Sasuke already knew something. It's not surprising that Sasuke asked this question now.
Itachi was silent for a while, calmed down the emotions in his heart, looked at Sasuke and said indifferently, "The truth? Who knows this kind of thing? Everyone will rely on their own knowledge and understanding, and be bound by these things, and call these things reality … But knowledge and understanding are quite ambiguous things. That reality may just be an illusion. People live in the world they think about, don't you think? "
Sasuke obviously couldn't suppress his emotions. There was a hint of urgency in his eyes. Obviously, he was very concerned about Itachi's answer. He said anxiously, "I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense. Tell me quickly, is what Danzo and Shen said true?"
There was no emotional fluctuation on Itachi's face. He looked at Sasuke quietly, and finally said indifferently, "What if I say no?"
Hearing Itachi's casual answer, Sasuke couldn't help but feel annoyed. He could no longer suppress his emotions. Obviously, he wasn't satisfied with this answer at all. He shouted at Itachi, "Impossible, you are lying! That guy Danzo has already admitted that you were forced to kill your parents! "
Looking at Sasuke, who was a little out of control, Itachi frowned slightly and sighed in his heart. However, his face was still expressionless, as if nothing could make him change his mind. He said indifferently, "You have already believed Shen's words. You won't listen to anything I say now. Well … Since it's come to this point, I'll tell you, but … Before answering your question, let me see if you have the qualifications to do so!"
After that, Itachi slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them. The Sharingan, which was originally in the three-tomoe state, had transformed into a shuriken-like figure. This was Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan!
At the same time, Itachi's body exuded a biting cold killing intent, and locked on Sasuke in front of him without the slightest mercy. From Itachi's performance, it seemed that he wanted to kill Sasuke.
