Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 246 The Itachi Who Drank Alcohol (12)

"Dad, let's go take a look at the new training ground."

"Teach me ninjutsu, Daddy..."

"Hahaha, just as expected of my son!"

……

Scenes flashed through his mind, and Itachi clenched his fists.

lay down?

How could I possibly let go of something like this?

A wisp of smoke rose from the oven in front of him, and Itachi couldn't help but think of the moment when his father had just been murdered.

At that time, he didn't quite understand why his mother was so cautious.

Things only gradually improved after Shisui was elected clan leader and the guy known as the Darkness of Konoha died.

Perhaps her father's death was a premonition that the village was targeting the Uchiha clan at that time?

Just like what the clansman said at the funeral, the person who could kill the father in an instant was someone the Hokage had summoned to help the security forces the day before. At that time, all the clues were on the Hokage.

If it weren't for Aunt Kushina's later appearance, the mother's fear might have lasted for a very long time.

And that night, the Hokage apologized...

perhaps……

Is this what Yunhe Zhishui meant by a political compromise?

"You've had a flaw since you were a child: you tend to overthink everything."

Yun's voice rang out, and he looked at Itachi, continuing, "As a ninja, you should indeed have your own analytical abilities when facing an enemy. But sometimes, overthinking isn't necessarily correct; it can only lead you into a dead end."

Itachi raised his head slightly upon hearing this: "You've always been smarter than me since we were little, so you should know what I'm thinking."

Yun smiled and said, "Now I'm afraid it's not just me who knows, even Sasuke has some suspicions. This shouldn't be you; you couldn't even hide it from Sasuke."

Itachi frowned slightly: "What did Sasuke say to you?"

At this moment, Yun placed a piece of grilled meat onto Itachi's plate: "His personality suddenly changed. I was strict with him for a while, and then I relaxed again. But I would stare into his eyes all the time..."

Yun smiled at this point: "That kid suspects you're being controlled by genjutsu, so he sent me to test you. Because of what happened in the tech department recently, he and Naruto have both learned something about how you're different."

As soon as she finished speaking, perhaps angered by Sasuke's idea, she realized what he meant.

Itachi sighed, then replied, "The Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan can be controlled by genjutsu... I apologize for the embarrassing situation."

Yun shook her head slightly: "His reasoning is actually not wrong, and finding me first was the right choice."

"But Itachi... your idea... is probably to take the Mangekyou Sharingan to the next level, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the only sound in the private room was the sizzling of grilled meat.

After a long silence, Itachi finally spoke, "That person can easily unleash his Mangekyou Sharingan. In this situation, if Tsukuyomi is on guard, my Amaterasu will be even less able to defeat him."

"In that case, not to mention the Black Zetsu, whose identity is still uncertain."

Upon hearing this, Yun asked, "So, you want to replicate the eternal kaleidoscope according to the records in the documents?"

Itachi nodded: "So you've always been smarter than me. When Sasuke told you about my unusual behavior, you should have already guessed it, right?"

"Only an eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can unleash Amaterasu without impairing vision. And the power of an eternal eye is necessarily stronger than that of a Mangekyou."

Amaterasu?

Ha ha……

"What do you want to guide?"

Yun smiled and said, "Did you deliberately mention Amaterasu to make me think you're selfish? That the Eye of Eternity was also prepared for your own sake?"

Itachi frowned slightly.

Was it discovered just from the beginning?

In fact, the preparations for the Eternal Eye began not only because of revenge.

That conversation at the Hokage Building also made Itachi realize that... chaos might soon begin throughout the ninja world.

Sasuke, who is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, may have been carrying his own destiny.

Even if it wasn't fate, he was about to graduate.

After becoming a ninja, in order to save one's life on the chaotic battlefield, one must have enough power.

"Don't stop me, Cloud."

As Itachi spoke, he looked directly at the clouds opposite him.

He didn't deny it; after all, he couldn't fool the guy in front of him who knew his own personality since childhood.

Yun shook his head: "Why do you think I would stop you? Sasuke wants to become stronger, and you're willing to sacrifice yourself. I have no right or reason to stop you two brothers from doing what's right."

These words relieved Itachi.

Although they are now good friends, Xiaoyun puts a lot of pressure on him.

Even when he was a child, Itachi could clearly sense Yun's murderous intent towards him on several occasions.

"Don't worry, it won't make you blind. I remember that after the Root was destroyed a few years ago, Shisui should still have one or two pairs of Sharingan with three tomoe."

Yun's words startled Itachi.

He then replied in a deep voice, "I will not use the eyes of my own kind; that would be a desecration."

Yun smiled.

It seems that the changes in the situation over the years, coupled with my own changes towards him, have indeed had some effect.

At least the Uchiha clan held a much higher place in his heart than he remembered.

"An ally of the Uchiha clan died, and they used their remaining strength to continue protecting the Uchiha clan and this village. Do you think they, living in the Pure Land, would find this blasphemous?"

Yun continued in a deep voice, "Or do you think we should just leave them unused, possessing power but not using it, waiting for the enemy to win and then claim this spoils of war?"

The words fell.

Itachi, head bowed, hesitated...

While there may be some exaggeration in these statements, they are not entirely without merit.

Yun has always kept her thoughts to herself.

It seems that I never had the initiative in any conversation.

At this moment, Yun waved his hand: "Alright, I'll discuss this with Shisui. As an important fighting force of the Uchiha clan, selfish thoughts are unacceptable."

Selfish?

Itachi looked up and stared directly at Yun, clearly unconvinced by this statement.

Yun scoffed, "You're not convinced? So you can retire with a clear conscience, or use blindness as an excuse to lose your life..."

"To satisfy one's own desires without considering the family and village, and without even asking Sasuke if he agreed. Isn't that selfish?"

These words left Itachi speechless.

After a long pause, Itachi said in a low voice, "If he had known, Sasuke wouldn't have agreed."

Yun nodded: "You two brothers are actually quite proud. But as long as you have a pair of three-tomoe jade pendants and aren't blind, it doesn't matter."

Yun shook her head slightly as she spoke: "Although he has Indra's chakra, Sasuke's talent doesn't seem to compare to yours... At least at your age, you had already awakened the three-tomoe stage, right?"

Itachi replied in a deep voice, "It's different. I activated the Twin Slots after my father passed away, while Sasuke hasn't experienced those pains yet."

"Although there is some basis to what you wrote in your book, once the bond is established, the Sharingan of the Uchiha will only be stimulated and activated when the bond is lost."

After a moment's thought, Yun smiled and said, "You wouldn't be thinking of getting revenge too, killing Naruto? Who knows, Sasuke might be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan right away, right?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Itachi's body twitched almost imperceptibly.

But it was clear that Yun had been observing Itachi's changes, despite his unexpected answer.

"Heh...it seems you've actually thought about this kind of thing. You've changed a lot since you were a child."

Yun scratched his head helplessly, wondering if he had overcorrected.

At this moment, Itachi sighed and said, "I did, but I won't do that. I can imagine and understand why the Hokage has concealed that person's identity for so many years."

"He was already considered a disciple of a hero, yet he became an enemy who wanted to destroy Konoha. This change must have been partly due to the Hokage himself."

"At that time, I saw a trace of guilt in the Hokage's eyes."

Do you feel guilty?

How ironic that Minato, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, is always a step too slow.

When Rin was pierced through the chest by Kakashi, Minato was indeed busy with other missions.

But to be able to discover this, one has to admit it's no wonder it's Itachi.

"It seems you've learned a lot."

Itachi said indifferently, "Over the years, you and Shisui have taught me a lot. My answer that day was the best answer. Holding on to this will affect the Uchiha clan and the village."

At this point, Itachi looked directly at Yun and said, "After all, he is the current Hokage, and although everyone says that you will be the next one, until it is decided, you will still be a Jonin of Konoha, so it doesn't count."

"Not bad, not bad."

Yun smiled and looked at Itachi: "Now you've learned when to compromise. It's just a stone on the memorial tablet; when the time comes, it will naturally be removed."

At this point, Yun took out four bottles of sake.

He handed me two juice glasses: "I asked you out today because I was worried you were in a bad mood, so I took some of this from the hidden compartment where Little Nine-Tailed Fox was hiding."

As he spoke, Yun winked at Itachi: "You know, even we Jonin can't buy this if we're not old enough. How about it? Want to try some?"

Itachi looked at the wine glass in front of him, wanting to refuse but also feeling a little curious.

I glanced at the direction of the curtain in the private room; no one was there.

Yun smiled and said, "It's not like we can't sense it. There's no point in doing this out of a guilty conscience. Want a drink or not?"

After thinking for a moment, Itachi picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Cough cough cough..."

The juice glass was a bit big, and even though the sake wasn't very strong, it was still quite a shock on the first sip.

Yun took a leisurely sip, smacking her lips.

It really doesn't taste very good.

If one doesn't possess extraordinary powers, brewing wine is certainly a viable option.

Bringing her thoughts back, Yun raised her glass to Itachi: "Drink slowly, have something to eat."

At this moment, Itachi's face had turned red.

My head feels a little dizzy.

As expected of something from the three forbidden ninja techniques, even this small amount slowed down my reaction time.

However... depending on the emotion, it does feel different.

Itachi took another sip, exhaled, and then began to eat the grilled meat.

……

An hour later, Itachi shook his head, pointed at Yun, and said, "You bastard, did you really want to kill me when we were kids?"

Yun smiled and replied, "Back then, you could have had an attack at any moment. Killing you would have been better for everyone."

"Bang!"

The next second, Itachi's forehead slammed directly onto the table.

A short while later, his shoulders began to tremble and twitch.

This situation embarrassed Yun.

Did he drink himself to tears? He only drank two bottles, okay?

Uh... no, this guy downed three bottles by himself.

"Um... are you alright?"

Itachi looked up, a red mark on his forehead: "Any more? Give me another bottle!"

Yun shrugged: "That's all, you drank it all. You should quit drinking altogether, you're hopeless."

Itachi burped: "You've always thought I was prone to having seizures when I was little. But you don't know the kind of pressure I was under back then."

"My father, the head of the Uchiha clan, was murdered without my knowledge, and the clan's militants are saying that the Hokage was behind it. My mother is living in constant fear, and Sasuke is not even a year old yet."

"In that situation, the entire village's rejection of the Uchiha was laid bare, and there was always inexplicable targeting."

"And now... the Uchiha clan is where it is today thanks to your and Shisui's efforts. As for me... it seems I haven't played any role."

Yun nodded and muttered under his breath, "Good that you understand. If you were effective, you two brothers would probably be the only Uchiha left by now."

"What?"

Itachi, who clearly hadn't heard clearly, leaned closer, and Yun pushed his head back with one hand: "It's nothing, have something to eat, I'll take you back in a bit."

Itachi shook his head: "I don't want to go back. Yun, what method do you think we can use to awaken Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan?"

After thinking for a moment, Yun smiled and said, "How about... we arrange a script for him?"

script?

I wanted to ask something more, but the feeling of dizziness in my head was getting heavier and heavier.

"Smack."

He slammed half his face on the table and fell asleep instantly.

Yun, sitting opposite him, sighed. His alcohol tolerance was really poor. Come to think of it, based on his original personality, he was probably the type who wouldn't drink a drop.

The author, described as a true ninja, likely adhered to the three ninja taboos very well.

"Boss! Check, please!"

The owner of the barbecue restaurant walked in with the account book, but the smell of alcohol in the private room stunned him.

"Lord Yun... Lord Yun, have you been drinking?"

Yun pointed to the wine bottle on the table: "Isn't this obvious? Don't worry, they won't say you bought it."

The barbecue restaurant owner almost burst into tears: "This wasn't even sold by me! Lord Yun, you absolutely must tell the truth, otherwise my garrison will definitely shut me down."

Yun waved his hand: "Hurry up and pay the bill. If they can catch me, then I'm out of a job."

……

Under the cover of night, Yun escorted Itachi back.

In this state, she naturally couldn't help but receive a lecture from Uchiha Mikoto, who acted as her aunt.

Erzhuzi was clearly not asleep either.

He was only relieved when Yun made a gesture indicating that everything was settled.

"Yun, be careful on the road after drinking."

Yun waved his hand and immediately used Flying Thunder God Technique to return home.
