On the other end of the island, Sasuke stood alone in the storm. His clothes were soaked, and the bangs on his forehead were wet and stuck to both sides of his cheeks.
Sasuke had been standing there for a while. He seemed to be waiting for something, but he seemed to be hesitating.
In addition to the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of fighting could be heard. It was the sound of Itachi Uchiha and Dried Persimmon Mackerel fighting against the Sanbi.
The sound of the wind and rain continued, but the sound of fighting stopped after a while.
"Finally …"
Sasuke put his hand on his sword and took a step forward with his right leg.
The original Sasuke would not hesitate, because at that time, Sasuke only wanted revenge. He wanted to rush to Itachi Uchiha immediately. Either he killed Itachi Uchiha, or he was killed by Itachi Uchiha.
However, at this moment, Sasuke was not doing it for revenge, but to save Itachi Uchiha and pull him out of the abyss of pain.
Different goals and different moods.
Perhaps this is the feeling of being close to home!
Revenge is often easy, as long as one's emotions are controlled by impulse, one can move forward and not be influenced by anything.
But in the face of his long-lost brother, Sasuke didn't know how he should face Itachi.
In the distance, the battle with the Sanbi was over, and Sasuke had to make a choice.
A row of clear footprints was printed on the muddy soil. The pace was neither fast nor slow, but it was persistent.
'Rustle …'
A sound that did not belong to the rain hitting the leaves sounded.
Itachi Uchiha stopped and looked back with a complicated expression. There was nothing there except for the dense forest, but Itachi Uchiha knew that Sasuke was waiting for him in the forest.
Itachi Uchiha was also waiting, and he had been waiting for many years.
"Ghost Mackerel! You go back first! "Itachi Uchiha's voice was particularly calm.
Ghost Mackerel also noticed the strangeness in the forest. Hearing Itachi's words, Ghost Mackerel opened his mouth and grinned, "Hey! Be careful not to get killed! "
After that, Ghost Mackerel manipulated the water flow to control the Sanbi to continue moving forward. Itachi Uchiha turned and walked into the depths of the forest.
'Rustle …'
Pushing aside the leaves, Itachi Uchiha walked to the open space in the forest. Sasuke's calm eyes suddenly became excited.
"Itachi Uchiha! According to the agreement, I came to find you! "
Sasuke's eyes instantly turned into scarlet three tomoe Sharingan. He stared at Uchiha Itachi and roared, "With the same eyes as you!"
Unlike Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha was quite calm. Compared to Sasuke, who still couldn't control his emotions, Itachi Uchiha could maintain his expression at any time.
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Itachi's eyes also turned into three tomoe Sharingan. However, due to the obstruction of the storm, coupled with the blurred vision, even with the insight of the Sharingan, Itachi couldn't see Sasuke's face at the moment.
"This rain really came at a bad time …"
Itachi knew that Sasuke had already understood the truth of the genocide, and Hinata also told him about the plan to open Sasuke's eyes.
The plan may succeed, but Itachi was very clear about his body, and he couldn't guarantee that he would survive. This may be the last time Itachi and Sasuke meet, but he couldn't even see his brother's face clearly.
Maybe he could get closer.
"Why!"
Sasuke asked angrily, "Itachi! Why did you do that! "
"I don't understand!"
"There was obviously a better choice at the time, why did you have to go to that step!"
After learning the truth of Uchiha's genocide, this was the only doubt in Sasuke's heart.
Sasuke and Hinata talked about the family and the village more than once, and Hinata said more than once that if he had to choose between the village and the family, Hinata would definitely choose the family.
Sasuke already understood the situation at that time, and Bordered Soil and Hinata also told him some things.
But since Itachi and Shisui had that kind of eye power at that time, why didn't they try it? Even if the coup failed, they could escape from Shinobu with some of their people and live in seclusion.
Genocide … This is too cruel!
Itachi Uchiha calmly said, "It's all in the past …"
"No!"
Sasuke said coldly, "This matter is not over yet, as long as I am here, it will never end!"
Sasuke was covered in killing intent, and the cold and evil Chakra made the surrounding temperature extremely cold.
Itachi Uchiha's eyes darkened, he knew Sasuke well, if he couldn't give Sasuke a reasonable explanation today, Sasuke would do something even more extreme.
"Sasuke! In that situation, I had no choice! "
Itachi Uchiha's face flashed with an abnormal flush, "The Nine Tails Rebellion ended less than seven years ago, and Shinobu's strength has weakened to the lowest point in history. Once Uchiha launches a coup, regardless of whether the coup succeeds or not, Shinobu's strength will be further weakened. "
"Once this happens, the major ninja villages that have been eyeing Shinobu covetously will wait for the opportunity to move, and the Land of Fire will immediately be shrouded in the flames of war."
"Shisui -dage and I want to change the family, but there is nothing we can do!"
Looking at Sasuke, Itachi's tone seemed a little weak, "The people have been blinded by desire and violence, immersed in the glory of Uchiha's past, but they can't see the changes of the times."
"Just like you now … no matter what I say, you won't listen to it!"
Sasuke's angry expression suddenly calmed down, and his tone was indifferent, "Is it just because of this?"
Itachi Uchiha slowly said, "Sasuke, I was born a few years earlier than you, and I have seen the cruelty of war with my father. Perhaps you will never understand how desperate the civilians are when the world is in the flames of war! "
"The originally happy, prosperous, and peaceful village will be turned into ruins in an instant just because ninjas fight nearby. The living people lost their relatives and friends, and also lost their homes, they had to wander around the ninja world! "
"Witnessing such a tragic situation, I can't remain indifferent!"
Looking at Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha said firmly, "I did all this not only for Shinobu, but also for the Land of Fire, and also for other countries!"
Sasuke's originally cold eyes eased, he was not a cruel person, and his heart was also tender. Listening to Itachi's slow narration, Sasuke seemed to be able to understand Itachi's mood at that time.
"Let's start!"
After a long time, Sasuke's eyes showed a trace of fighting spirit.
The battle with his brother is not mixed with any purpose, it's just that he wants to defeat his brother, who he has always been unable to defeat.
Sasuke slowly pulled out his Kusanagi sword.
"We have been waiting for this battle for a long time!"
