"If it weren't for what happened in the past, do you think I would have become like this?" Shen laughed at himself and said indifferently. Some things are not easy to talk about when people are alive. Only when people are dead can they sit down and talk about it, such as defection and the night of clan extermination.
Itachi didn't say anything. If he could, he wouldn't want to do it, but there are some things that he can't control. Just as he had seen so many filthy villages in Konoha's Anbu, he vowed to restore a sunny and beautiful village without filth.
"Shen …" Itachi opened his mouth and looked at Shen's sarcastic face. He didn't know what to say. He has always been known as the Hokage at a young age, but in the end, he is just an older brother who loves his younger brother. Facing his younger brother's question, Itachi can only remain silent.
Itachi had nothing to say. He knew very well that Shen still can't let go of the original matter. He sighed softly and said: "I can't help it, if I don't …"
"If you don't do it, Sasuke and I will be erased, right? You used the lives of the entire clan in exchange for the safety of the two of us. That's what you want to say, right? "
Itachi was slightly stunned, and then nodded to admit it.
"Oh …" Shen smiled, and the sarcasm on his face became stronger: "Do you think you are doing the right thing? Are you still boasting that you are the last defender of the Uchiha Clan? Although the Uchiha Clan was destroyed, at least there are survivors, right? "
Speaking of this, Shen's complexion suddenly changed, "But do you know who is the one who is forcing the Uchiha Clan step by step on the path of rebellion? Who forced the Uchiha Clan to fight back in order to survive? It's Konoha! Step by step, they alienated the Uchiha Clan from the political center of Konoha. Step by step, they isolated us, leaving us no room to survive in Konoha. If not for this, why would the Uchiha Clan rebel? "
Shen looked at Itachi with a disappointed expression. Shen was very satisfied with his brother. Except for his loyalty to Konoha and his pledge to protect it, it can be said that Itachi is a perfect brother.
"I'm sorry …"
"No … you didn't do anything wrong. At least in terms of the extermination of the Uchiha Clan, you didn't do anything wrong. Instead of letting others tarnish the glory of the Uchiha Clan, it is better to let them all die in the hands of the Uchiha Clan. This is also a kind of death. But … you even killed Father and Mother! "
Shen's eyes were ferocious, and the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his eyes stared at Itachi. There were some things that were inconvenient to say when Itachi was alive, but now that he was dead, there was nothing to be afraid of saying.
A killing intent so intense that it was practically tangible seeped out from Celestial's body. This oppressive aura pressed down on Itachi. It was as though if Itachi were to say anything that displeased Celestial, the killing intent would envelop him and kill him.
Whenever Mikoto was mentioned, Shen would be unable to control the anger in his heart. Even though Shen had forcibly accepted the system's memory gift, six years of meticulous care was not something that could be forgotten so easily.
In the past, he did not have the strength to protect them. Now, Shen possessed sufficient strength. But so what? What should not come back will still not come back.
"As early as that night, Uchiha Itachi had already died. Why was there a man named Uchiha Itachi who was still alive? It was purely because he wanted to see his younger brother grow up, and then take away his eyes to complete Uchiha Itachi's unfinished wish."
If possible, Uchiha Itachi wanted to resolve the dispute in a peaceful way more than anyone else. But the arrow was already on the bow and had to be shot. If Uchiha Itachi didn't do it, naturally, Uchiha Sasuke or Maeda Uchiha would do it. There were thousands of people who could carry out the task, and Itachi was not one of them. However, if he could sacrifice himself in exchange for the lives of his two younger brothers, he felt that it was worth it.
"Hmph, it's easy for you to say. Then, why didn't you think about those who died?"
"If I thought about them, you and Sasuke would be added to the list of deaths." Itachi's eyes were full of sadness. It was an unknown emotion.
Shen was silent. Indeed, even if he had the system, it couldn't help. He couldn't even protect himself when he was young. What qualifications did he have to ask his older brother to do this and that?
"Do you … regret it? Do it. "
"I regret it, but I don't regret it. As long as you two can live, that's enough. " Itachi looked at Shen with gentle eyes. This was the second time Itachi showed such a gratified and gentle expression since the day of the Clan's destruction. The first time was during the final battle with Sasuke.
“...”
It seemed that because of Itachi's words, the two fell into a short silence. No one spoke in advance, and they just stared at each other.
"What are you going to do after this … you should know what I'm talking about." In the end, it was Shen who broke the awkward atmosphere. He sighed and accepted the fact that he had long known but had always been avoiding.
"Me? I want to take one last look at Sasuke and see what happened to him. I want to see if he really grew up after receiving my eyes. Then, I want to find Kabuto. The most direct and violent way to remove the Edo Tensei is to find the caster and kill him. "
Shen nodded, "Okay, I understand." Until the end, Itachi still cared about the Ninja Coalition Forces and Konoha Village.
Shen slowly closed his eyes, and the surrounding space began to distort, gradually turning into the Tsukuyomi world that Itachi was familiar with. It wasn't until this time that Itachi realized that Shen used Tsukuyomi. No wonder he couldn't detect it before. Tsukuyomi was originally the ultimate Genjutsu of Mangekyou Sharingan. Only Kotoamatsukami, who can change people's minds, can match Genjutsu. How can it be so easy to see through it?
There are many ways to solve the Edo Tensei. In the original work, Itachi used Kotoamatsukami hidden in Shisui's eyes to get rid of the control of Edo Tensei. In fact, Shen didn't need to be so troublesome. After all, the control of Edo Tensei was just a restriction on the soul level. As long as this restriction was destroyed, it would be fine.
