Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 349 The Fate of Uchiha Itachi

Because they were his beloved ones, Madara Uchiha would not allow Tajima Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha to be subjected to any seals or coercion.

Incidentally, Uchiha Chiri also received preferential treatment and became a free Edo Tensei (reincarnated) user.

The greatest advantage of having a free soul is being able to unleash 100% of the body's fighting power, but the downside is that one might be persuaded by the enemy and lose the will to fight.

For example, although Uchiha Tajima did not believe that his son would be so stupid, he also completely lost the urge to fight his juniors.

Well, it's also possible that he hasn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan yet, and he doesn't feel confident facing a group of Mangekyou Sharingan juniors.

He was the elder of all the Uchiha clansmen present. If he were to be beaten up by a fifth-generation descendant and have to rely on his son for help, he would lose face immensely.

The key issue is that the current Uchiha clan leader is a young girl. If they can't beat their granddaughter, they'll lose all face.

Uchiha Izuna was a good-natured brother-complex child who never liked fighting and was even less willing to fight his clansmen.

Unless Madara Uchiha appears here and points at Izumi Uchiha saying "Hit her," he will not set aside his reservations and kill according to his brother's wishes.

As for Uchiha Chiri, she was overjoyed to see a female clan leader. If the old clan leader hadn't looked so dark, she would have jumped over and hugged Uchiha Izumi, asking her how she became the clan leader.

She really made the Uchiha female ninja proud!

As a result, no fighting broke out along the way. Instead, they started discussing family trees and tracing bloodlines, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

There are four people in the Akatsuki organization who are most familiar with Konoha Village, and Uchiha Itachi is one of them.

He led Kisame Hoshigaki through a maze of paths, avoiding numerous surveillance cameras, until they reached the Valley of the End, less than 100 kilometers from Konoha Village.

Itachi Uchiha came here to rest temporarily, since constantly activating his Sharingan to search for surveillance equipment was quite taxing on him.

But as soon as he entered the valley, he saw his younger brother.

Actually, there are also Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzumaki, as well as Might Guy and his son Might Dai, but this brother-obsessed guy automatically ignored everyone else and only saw his own brother.

-

To Itachi's delight, his foolish younger brother was radiating the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan; he was now a Mangekyou Sharingan ninja.

Next, all he needs to do is entrust his eyes and will to his younger brother, so that his brother can become his perfect successor, inheriting his will and ideals, and fighting to the end for Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan!

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha had no idea what kind of Konoha Village and Uchiha clan he truly desired.

He dared not even think about it, because he would go crazy if he did.

Uchiha Itachi just wanted to end it all as soon as possible, to return to the peace of death, and to no longer suffer the torment of his soul and the agony of his memories.

He didn't want to live anymore.

Chakra is a magical power, and the Mangekyou Sharingan is an even more miraculous power that can influence reality with willpower. When Itachi Uchiha no longer wanted to live, his bloodline disease worsened at a rate ten or a hundred times faster.

Nine years had passed, and Itachi Uchiha's body was already broken and tattered. He should have died long ago, but he was only thinking that "he shouldn't die now" and was just maintaining his vital signs with the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

But no matter how excited he was, Itachi Uchiha's face remained unchanged.

He removed his straw hat and said in a calm tone, "It's been a long time, Kakashi-senpai. And—Sasuke."

Naruto Uzumaki sneered, "The mouth can deceive people with words, the eyes can deceive people with some emotions, and facial expressions are the most deceptive performance masters, but the brain doesn't lie."

"So, stop trying to be cool, Uchiha Itachi."

"My [Magnetic Escape - Mind Network] can sense your brain. You are very excited right now, you are so happy you're almost going crazy."

Naruto Uzumaki had a high reputation in Konoha Village, and his words were completely believed by the Konoha ninjas. When they looked at Itachi Uchiha, they all felt that he was just pretending.

As a result, Itachi Uchiha's carefully cultivated demeanor became a joke, and even Kisame Hoshigaki secretly looked at his teammates with suspicion.

Might Guy burst into hearty laughter: "Haha, you shark-faced guy over there, that big sword on your back looks familiar. Shall we go somewhere further away to discuss the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

Kisame Hoshigaki's attention snapped to this, and after scrutinizing it several times, enduring the intense visual discomfort caused by the green bodysuit, he recognized Might Guy's identity.

"So it was you! Konoha actually resurrected a monster like you. Is the Fifth Hokage really not afraid of Kirigakure turning against him?"

"Alright, alright, I do want to talk to you about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. The shame of Kirigakure can be washed away today!"

Kisame Hoshigaki left Itachi Uchiha behind and followed Might Guy and his son into the depths of the valley.

Itachi Uchiha didn't care much about Kisame Hoshigaki's departure; on the contrary, the departure of Might and his son made him feel much more relaxed.

Might Guy's record of eliminating the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in one battle was too amazing. Even the Fourth Raikage felt uncertain when facing him, let alone Itachi Uchiha.

Speaking to the two ninjas he feared, Itachi Uchiha immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. He wanted to clear the area and have a proper conversation with his younger brother.

【Kaleidoscope·Monthreading】

Despite further damaging his eyesight, Itachi Uchiha pulled Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha into the Tsukuyomi genjutsu space.

But to his shock, the Konoha Team 7 (excluding Sakura Haruno) in the Tsukuyomi illusion space were not tied to crosses; it was Uchiha Itachi who was tied up!

"That's impossible!"

Naruto Uzumaki said, "No, this is only natural."

"Uchiha Itachi, you seem to have forgotten that you once pulled my teacher, the Fifth Hokage Natsuzo, into your Tsukuyomi space."

Itachi Uchiha's pupils contracted sharply, but he still found it impossible: "No, I haven't forgotten!"

"But I have reclaimed the Tsukuyomi space, and based on my previous experience, I have made complete changes!"

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said, "My foolish brother, that's the Fifth Hokage! How could you so easily clean up the place he once set foot in?"

Itachi Uchiha: "Even if the Fifth Hokage left a backup plan, how did you manage to turn the tables and seize my Tsukuyomi space?"

Sasuke pointed to his eyes, which immediately transformed into the intricately patterned Mangekyou Sharingan.

He said, "Of course, it's by relying on the Mangekyou Sharingan, with its overwhelming ocular power, and by taking advantage of the Fifth Hokage's backup plan, that we can seize the reading space."

Uchiha Itachi scoffed, "You? My dear brother, your eye power is nowhere near as strong as mine. You're simply not qualified."

"Sasuke means that Team 7 has more than one pair of Mangekyou Sharingan."

After Kakashi Hatake finished speaking, he pushed aside the headband covering his left eye, revealing a Mangekyou Sharingan.

Itachi Uchiha was stunned: "How could you possibly awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan—no, this, this is Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Itachi Uchiha's eyesight has deteriorated significantly, but he can temporarily regain sharp vision by expending a large amount of his ocular power.

Within the Tsukuyomi genjutsu space, he could see Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan pattern without paying any price, and it was exactly the same as Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Startled, he looked at Naruto Uzumaki: "You don't have the Mangekyou Sharingan too, do you?"

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and said, "I don't have the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"However, I have the Rinnegan's power and eye techniques transcribed in my right eye by my teacher."

Uchiha Itachi: "Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki kindly explained, "The teacher said that you are always arrogant and like to win by cheating, so you will definitely pull people into the Tsukuyomi space as soon as you meet them."

"Therefore, the teacher transferred a pupil technique into my eyes and infused it with a large amount of pupil power as a trap to ambush you."

Uchiha Itachi suddenly broke down, screaming hoarsely, "Rinnegan? How is this possible? And what about your techniques and eye power?"

Naruto Uzumaki: "Of course it's automatically activated and used up when you cast [Tsukuyomi]."

"I already said, this is a trap set for you. Aren't you, in your current state, like prey falling into a trap?"

Uchiha Itachi:

He was unable to refute it.

Sasuke Uchiha reached out and grabbed a ninja sword from thin air. He walked up to Itachi Uchiha and plunged it into his brother's body without hesitation.

"Uchiha Itachi, this stab was for my father!"

puff-

"This knife is the life you owe your mother!"

*Pfft—*

"This cut is for myself!"

"This is for Elder Uchiha Shikata!"

"This is for Uchiha Homura!"

"This is for the innocent Uchiha Tessho, who died a tragic death!"

Sasuke Uchiha suddenly felt his mind go blank, unable to recall any other victims, and he no longer had the urge to punish Itachi Uchiha, as if he had exhausted all his energy.

Uchiha Sasuke is actually a brother-complex guy.

Naruto took the ninja sword from Sasuke's hand and then looked at Kakashi Hatake: "Kakashi-sensei, want to try a few hits?"

""

Kakashi Hatake shook his head: "No, I have nothing to retaliate against."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded, but suddenly swung his sword and slashed at Itachi Uchiha's body.

The change happened so quickly that even Itachi Uchiha exclaimed in surprise, "Do you have a grudge against me?"

Naruto Uzumaki laughed and said, "There's no hatred, but there's resentment!"

"When I was four years old, I was bullied by the children in the village. Seven or eight of them pinned me to the ground and beat me, hitting my head with stones, and you just happened to be passing by."

"You clearly scared those kids into stopping, so why did you leave silently after I asked for help?"

"Don't you know that doing this will only make them beat me even harder?"

Uchiha Itachi: "I—I know."

Naruto Uzumaki: "Didn't you recognize me as Naruto Uzumaki? Didn't you realize that my mother and your mother are best friends?"

Uchiha Itachi: "I've got it."

Naruto raised his voice and asked, "Then why didn't you save me?"

Uchiha Itachi: "I...I don't know, I don't remember."

Naruto Uzumaki roared, "Do you know what? I didn't hate you before because I didn't know you at all, and I didn't know what our relationship was. But your example made me lose trust in the ninjas of Konoha, and I'll never dare to ask anyone for help again!"

"It wasn't until my teacher reached out to me and pulled me out of the abyss that I truly believed in people and in the ninjas of Konoha again."

"You, Uchiha Itachi, almost ruined me."

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head: "I was wrong about this, Naruto Uzumaki. You can cut me a few more times as punishment."

Naruto looked at him curiously and asked, "From what you've said, you think you were wrong in this matter, so you're willing to accept the punishment. But before, you remained silent and were stabbed by Sasuke because you thought you were right?"

Uchiha Itachi suddenly became agitated: "I did nothing wrong!"

"The Uchiha clan is plotting to rebel against the village, and the Third Hokage is on guard against them. The two sides are on the verge of war, and a civil war in Konoha is imminent!"

"Purge the Uchiha clan is the only way I can think of, after careful consideration, to save both Konoha and the Uchiha clan simultaneously—the only way!"

Kakashi Hatake firmly stated, "No, the Fifth Hokage proved with facts that it was not the only way, but rather a mistake of acting as a henchman for Obito Uchiha and Danzo Shimura."

Kakashi shattered Itachi's flawed reasoning with facts, and Itachi suddenly went mad: "No, that's not true!"

"It's all an illusion, an illusion!"

"The Fifth Hokage shouldn't be Sasuke; the Fifth Hokage should be Tsunade. I should have killed all the Uchiha, shouldered all the sins of the Uchiha and Konoha, and become fertilizer for Sasuke's growth!"

"I saw it—"

"That's how it should be, that's how it should be!"

Kakashi Hatake looked at Sasuke awkwardly: "I didn't mean to drive him crazy, I—"

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said, "Kakashi-sensei, don't feel guilty yet. You'll find that he'll adjust on his own in a while, forget about what you said about the Fifth Hokage, and continue to believe that he was right."

"

Kakashi Hatake: "Huh? You can even do that?"

Naruto Uzumaki stared in disbelief: "Was I just arguing with a madman?"

Sasuke sighed deeply: "I feel sorry, but that's just how it is."

"In the past three years, every time the Fifth Hokage does something big, Itachi will come to me and go crazy."

"Once he's vented, he'll hypnotize himself to forget everything, act as if nothing happened, and continue trying to brainwash me."

"My foolish brother has long since gone mad."

Kakashi Hatake sighed, "Poor guy, I don't even want to kill him anymore."

Naruto Uzumaki: "Honestly, why do I feel a little embarrassed?"

Uchiha Sasuke said, "We've trapped him in this snare today, so let's free him completely."

Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake both said at the same time, "Okay."

The three of them concentrated all their chakra and, following Xia Zuo's method, used the power of their three Mangekyou Sharingan as a trigger to detonate the entire Tsukuyomi space.

As a result, Itachi Uchiha suffered a backlash from Tsukuyomi and died from a mental breakdown.
