Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 155 Buried the Truth
"Itachi-senpai, long time no see."

The sensory discomfort caused by the space transition slowly subsided, and Itachi saw clearly that the young man in front of him smiling and saying hello was Tetsuya Yamanaka.

A bonfire was lit in the empty cave, illuminating the dim environment.

"It wasn't long ago when we last met."

Even a shadow clone inherited the personality of the original body. There was no change in expression on Itachi's calm face, and the two deep nasolabial folds were as straight and as hard as an iron ruler.

Tetsuya spread his hands and responded:
"Are you talking about the regular meeting of the Akatsuki organization? We haven't spoken a word to each other. As a newcomer who has just joined the organization, it's hard to be too special, so I asked Orochimaru-senpai."

"It's unlikely that Akatsuki will spy on you here, so there's no need to talk too much nonsense."

Itachi interrupted Tetsuya's eloquence and said in a stiff tone:

"Why do you want to see me?"

Faced with such an inquiry, Tetsuya's answer was very direct and calm. It can be said that he went straight to the point:
"Itachi-senpai should have a Mangekyo Sharingan eye that belongs to Shisui-senpai, right? Of course I don't want to get it, I just hope that I can cooperate with senior and use Shisui-senpai's relics to achieve a certain purpose."

At this point, Itachi's expression finally changed. He carefully looked at the young man in front of him and spoke slowly:
"You know so much"

Before his death, Shisui Uchiha gave his remaining left eye to his friend Itachi Uchiha. The only person who still knows about this, except Itachi himself, is Shisui who committed suicide at the time.

Itachi was not a big talker. After getting Shisui's Sharingan, he never mentioned it in front of anyone, and he also used a secret technique to hide the Mangekyou in a safe place.

The first thing he thought of was that Orochimaru learned this secret from Shisui himself through the art of reincarnation.

This is arguably the only explanation.

Of course Itachi believed that Shisui was a man who could keep secrets, and he did not waver when he died alone despite the injustice and pain. If it was true that Shisui personally told the whereabouts of the kaleidoscope, then he also believed that Shisui must have made such a choice reason.

As for the possibility that Orochimaru's reincarnation could control the minds of dead people who came out of the dirt and unearth long-buried secrets, Itachi had certainly thought of this possibility.

But he thinks this should be a low probability guess.

The forbidden technique of reincarnation from the dirty soil is indeed magical, but it is not that exaggerated. The soul that comes out of the dirty soil does not have a brain, so it can dig out those memories directly from the soul?Itachi prefers to believe that Shisui took the initiative to say it. If Zhentu can really grab memories from the souls of the dead, then what secrets can there be in this world?

Thinking of this, Itachi then sat cross-legged next to the campfire:
"Can you tell me what you want me to do?"

As the inviter and planner of this plan, Zheya still maintained a calm attitude and spoke directly without any concealment:

"Use other gods to control Akatsuki's leader, Nagato."

After saying that, he imitated the other person's posture and sat down together.

There was a brief silence between the two.

Before Tetsuya said this target, Itachi had already made a guess. After hearing that the other party's target was Nagato, he felt a sudden realization.

Itachi had actually considered this approach.

There are two reasons why he gave up. One is of course that although the leader of the Akatsuki organization is Nagato, there is also a mysterious masked man behind the scenes. Considering the cooldown time of other gods, this is not a foolproof strategy.

As for the second point, it is naturally his younger brother Sasuke.

The biggest reason why he has reached this point, apart from considering the stability and peace of Konoha, is his younger brother Sasuke.

Itachi is a calm and self-aware person.

He clearly realized that the key to his arrangement for his younger brother was Sasuke's own will. No one could sworn that he could guess other people's thoughts, and he still didn't have frequent contact with him. He could only use some... After understanding the information that has changed hands many times.

The path that Itachi had painstakingly arranged for Sasuke was not so stable, although Itachi had already used hatred that ran deep into his bones to seduce his younger brother, and he had also deepened his impression on him not long ago.

But this still cannot guarantee many things, such as Sasuke staying safely in Konoha's camp.

Shisui's left eye is a supernatural means that can finally turn things around and ensure that everything returns to normal.

For this reason, Itachi gave up aiming this thing at Nagato.

Without the existence of his younger brother Sasuke, it would not be a loss in any case to simply eliminate the Akatsuki organization's apparently strongest combat power and turn it into a strong support for his side.

The problems of the mysterious masked man are all superfluous conditions that can be ignored.

Itachi thought all of this very clearly.

So after hearing Tetsuya's words, his heart was not shaken, but he felt a little relieved, because the boy in front of him was obviously still working as a Konoha ninja, not an enemy of Konoha.

Although Itachi is now thinking more about his brother than Konoha, he is still happy for Konoha after realizing this.

However, Zheya seemed to have anticipated his thoughts and said directly:
"Of course, I know how powerful the other gods are, and I can also guess why Senior Itachi kept this powerful back card."

Hearing this, Itachi was quite curious:

"Do you have the confidence to persuade me? Even if you know that Shisui's kaleidoscope must be kept and used elsewhere for me?"

Tetsuya just smiled, secretly thinking that he had so much confidence!

Sasuke is Itachi's obsession. If protecting Konoha Village is a goal that Itachi can sacrifice his life to achieve, then protecting and guiding Sasuke is at least the same desire as protecting Konoha Village.

In Itachi's heart, Sasuke even surpassed the Leaf Village, at least after the Uchiha clan was exterminated.

Trying to convince Itachi to use the Shisui left eye prepared for Sasuke can be said to be the biggest and last difficulty in Tetsuya's plan.

He thought about it for a long time and spoke cautiously:
"Senior Itachi, have you ever thought that Sasuke doesn't want to take the path you prepared for him? If he knew the truth, then revenge for your brother and the Uchiha clan would be his idea, right?"

"Even if Sasuke will not take revenge on Konoha after knowing everything, then isn't it a cruel reality that his own brother killed the entire clan just to protect Konoha Village and himself at the same time?"

Zhe is also talking nonsense. After all, everything has happened, and there is no practical significance in talking about it now.

But of course this kind of thing can only talk about emotions, not calmly distinguishing truth.

Itachi didn't think that what Tetsuya said was all useless nonsense. He stared at the burning bonfire in trance, seeming to be particularly interested in the wood inside that was gradually turning into charcoal and ashes.

For a long time, Tetsuya saw that he seemed to be unresponsive. Just when he was about to continue searching his intestines and stomach, Itachi sighed softly:
"You make sense, so I hope the truth will never be known to Sasuke, then everything will be on track."

"do you understand?"

"Let the truth about the Uchiha extermination be buried forever!"
