Chapter 329 Sasuke's Revenge
three days later.
Sasuke and Naruto slowly awoke in their respective rooms.
All I can say is that Orochimaru gave a really large dose.
For the past three days, Sasuke and Naruto have relied solely on IV fluids to replenish their nutrition.
However, the place where they woke up was no longer the medical branch room outside Amegakure.
A day earlier, the Sound Four had finally mastered the basics of the Four Purple Flame Flying Thunder Formation. The range was still limited, but it was already usable.
Let them try to move Sasuke and Naruto.
Naruto was sent back to Konoha.
Sasuke was sent to the Land of Waves, to Itachi's side.
Now that Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi no longer needs to do anything, so there's no need to worry about Itachi causing any more trouble.
Sasuke awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, proving once again what Itachi in the original timeline could only understand after his death—to believe in Sasuke's power.
This is also the reason why Bai Mo initially used his persuasive skills to defeat Uchiha Itachi.
In addition, there's the statement that Itachi Uchiha once personally acknowledged: "It's not that you become Hokage to gain recognition, but that you gain everyone's recognition to become Hokage."
This statement encapsulates the essence of opposing the lone-wolf individual heroism of figures like Indra and Madara Uchiha.
After all that, Itachi realized he was the least qualified to say that.
Because of his actions, such as enduring all the pain and unilaterally planning everyone else's life, isn't this the kind of existence he originally despised?
Using Sasuke and Konoha to attack Itachi's mental defenses is the easiest way.
Furthermore, Bai Mo's words made sense, so Itachi Uchiha was easily persuaded.
Oh right, and Itachi also saw Sasuke as an adult in the future.
But in the end, this is just a "tool" used by Bai Mo, not "truth".
Anyone who thinks about it for a moment will realize that "believing in Sasuke's power" and "believing in Sasuke's own choices" are not options at all.
This is Itachi's exclamation after Sasuke, having grown up, met Itachi again in the original work.
Even if Itachi had a way to undo his mistakes, it wouldn't make a difference.
Sasuke, who was crying and running around on the night of the massacre, shouting "Don't kill me, waaaaa!", was still a child. What constructive advice could he possibly give?
We can't expect Sasuke to have Hokage-like thinking at such a young age, can we?
Not to mention strength.
Itachi's problem is actually very complicated and cannot be solved simply by trusting Sasuke.
But no matter how complicated it is, it has nothing to do with Bai Mo; all that matters is fooling Itachi.
Anyway, even if Itachi realizes there's a problem, he'll just deceive himself.
Sending Sasuke over now is because we're too lazy and there's no need to explain the events of the night of the massacre to him.
—This is what Itachi Uchiha should do.
Sasuke awakens.
"Nii-san? No, Itachi!"
When Sasuke woke up and saw Itachi, he was momentarily confused before he came to his senses and struggled to launch an attack.
"Tsukuyomi".
Itachi had anticipated this, so he could only activate Tsukuyomi to control Sasuke in the genjutsu space before having a proper conversation.
He can no longer act out humiliating Sasuke, like breaking Sasuke's arm and pinning him against the wall.
Furthermore, according to the information transmitted from Amegakure, Sasuke has already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and mastered Susanoo.
If it really comes down to a head-on clash, a pair of fresh and healthy Mangekyou Sharingan eyes would be far more useful than his nearly blind pair, even if the eye technique is inferior.
Kisame stood guard outside, his dead fish eyes scanning the situation of the two brothers inside. Once he saw that Itachi had used Tsukuyomi, he felt relieved.
Ever since learning from the strategist that Itachi was a spy for Konoha, Kisame has been wondering whether he was with someone when he went on missions, and whether he actually knew Water Release.
Fortunately, he learned from Bai Mo that Itachi's serious illness was not due to genjutsu or an act, and that it was impossible for Itachi to use genjutsu on him so often just to be lazy.
Kisame was finally relieved.
"Mr. Itachi, is that all?"
Kisame saw the two inside move again and asked.
For those outside of Tsukuyomi, no matter how long the exchange takes in the Tsukuyomi space, it's all just a fleeting moment.
Sasuke looked at Itachi with a complicated expression, momentarily lost in confusion.
As expected, in the Tsukuyomi space, after Itachi told Sasuke the truth, Sasuke angrily wanted to take revenge on Konoha.
Itachi remained silent and first used Tsukuyomi to play a scene for Sasuke.
There were many performances at the Amegakure New Year's Eve party a while ago, and the one that impressed Itachi the most was the stage play performed by Hyuga Hanabi, which depicted the self-destruction of the entire Hyuga clan.
Besides this, there is another song performed called "Okiha is my hometown".
The first sentence, "The wind blows through the wheat fields, and the cherry blossoms are fragrant," sounds like human speech.
The lyrics that followed, such as "Awesome ninjas, no parents," "Chatting about everyday things over a hot fire jutsu," "The adorable Nine-Tails, gently chirping," and "The impure world is spinning, and people are overjoyed," were like a demonic chant.
However, in Itachi Uchiha's view, this song expressed the author's homesickness and had a strong sense of the Will of Fire.
As we all know, what is a "hometown"? It's when you leave your hometown that it becomes your hometown.
Those who were born and raised in Konoha and never left the village don't need to say that Konoha is their hometown.
Only those who betray and oppress need to speak of their homeland.
Ok……
Hinata Hanabi, as an international student, can also be described as such.
In short, while Sasuke was clamoring for revenge, Itachi played this cheerful song on repeat in the Tsukuyomi space, trying to purify Sasuke's violent heart.
The effect is obvious.
When Sasuke experienced the song on repeat for the third time, he couldn't help but give up and asked Itachi what he wanted to do.
Itachi then began the "Divine Cut," telling Sasuke that Konoha was their home, and that even if he wanted revenge, it was the Konoha high-ranking officials who had given the order to do so.
He also borrowed a phrase from the strategist: loving one's hometown and loving a shameless ruler are not the same thing.
Sasuke was surprised that Itachi didn't stop him from seeking revenge.
It was then learned that the culprit, Danzo, was gone, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who bore secondary responsibility, was also dead; both had been resurrected by Orochimaru using Edo Tensei to do manual labor.
And that's how the current atmosphere came about.
Sasuke was confused.
He finally gained the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Susanoo, only to discover that Itachi wasn't his enemy; his real enemy had just died recently.
What can we do?
He committed suicide and went to the underworld to kill his enemy once more.
"Sasuke, I personally hope that you can let go of your hatred and look to the future. However, if you insist on revenge to free your heart from its shackles, then accept this mission."
Itachi pulled a scroll from his pocket and threw it over.
"What is it?"
Sasuke caught the scroll and frowned.
What mission could possibly prompt him to seek revenge?
Upon opening the scroll, Sasuke's pupils immediately contracted.
It turns out there were other culprits!
In his excitement, Sasuke activated his Mangekyou Sharingan without saying a word.
"Aaaaaah!!!!"
Sasuke covered his eyes and let out a scream.
"What's wrong, Sasuke?"
Itachi stepped forward with concern to inquire.
Could this be a side effect of the Kaleidoscope? Really? It's happening this early?
Itachi glanced at the scroll and noticed a new photo on it: Koharu Utatane taking a bath.
