Chapter 140 Knife

The massacre of the clan has indeed become a subject of widespread condemnation. From this perspective, even the seemingly invincible Itachi has moments when he is not in control of his own destiny.

Focusing solely on the dangers of knives while ignoring the character of the person wielding them is an oversimplification.

[The poisonous fruit that Konoha itself sowed was removed with Itachi Uchiha's blade, and then Sasuke was fed it as if nothing had happened, with everything attributed to the blade (Itachi Uchiha)'s mistake.]

After it was all over, only Naruto remained devoted to Sasuke, crying and begging to help him pump his stomach; the others, on the contrary, wanted to kill Sasuke with the drug.

"."

The Third Hokage was in an awkward position.

However, this may not have been his original intention, but the final result was like this.

He glanced at Sasuke furtively, wondering how Sasuke would react after hearing what the light screen said.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke did not get angry or furious. Instead, his expression was as calm as a lake as he looked at the Third Hokage.

The two then engaged in a passionate eye contact.

At that moment, Sasuke sneered and said, "I know, it's all Danzo's fault, isn't it?"

Hearing Sasuke's words, the Third Hokage became even more embarrassed.

But he had no choice but to nod calmly, "Ah, yes, yes, it's all Danzo's fault."

"hehe."

With a disdainful smile, Sasuke didn't dwell on the Third Hokage. Instead, he looked at Naruto and muttered to himself with a complicated expression, "That idiot."

"Who do you think was the real killer in this massacre?"

"I think it's Danzo. Don't look at me, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Danzo over there."

Upon hearing Tobirama's question, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately gave his answer.

"Hmph, I think it's the Third Hokage. You know Hiruzen, and I'm not talking about you, since you're not the Third Hokage."

Not to be outdone, Shimura Danzo also offered his own answer.

"What about Itachi Uchiha? Itachi was the one who actually killed people, so why aren't you talking about him?"

Hiruzen and Danzo glanced at the mirror and pointed to the light screen; their meaning was self-evident.

"Yes, the screen clearly states that Itachi is just a sword. For example, if A uses a sword to kill B, and C wants revenge, wouldn't C go after the sword instead of A?"

"But the problem is, Itachi Uchiha is a human being. He's not a mindless sword. He can think, he needs to sleep, and he can even eat. Have you ever seen a sword that's so lifelike?"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also had differing opinions.

Koharu believes that Itachi is merely a sword that obeys orders, and the real culprit must be the village's higher-ups who issued the orders.

Yan, however, disagreed with Koharu. He believed that Itachi was indeed a sword, but also a sword with its own thoughts. If a list of murderers were to be compiled, Itachi should be included.

In short, Tobirama's six disciples all had different opinions on who was the real culprit behind the destruction of the Uchiha clan.

"So, teacher, what do you think?"

None of the six disciples could convince the others, so they could only return the problem to Tobirama and see what their master would say.

"If you ask me, everyone involved is a murderer. The Third Hokage is a murderer, Shimura Danzo is a murderer, Uchiha Itachi is a murderer, Uchiha Obito is also a murderer, and even Uchiha Shisui, who died, bears some responsibility."

"That doesn't make sense, teacher. How can you blame Shisui?"

"There's nothing we can do. He placed his hopes for stopping the clan coup on Itachi. For this, he even gave Itachi his other Mangekyou Sharingan. And what did Itachi do? He slaughtered all the clan members except Sasuke. I'm actually quite curious to see how Shisui will react when he finds out he entrusted the wrong person. Will he kill Sasuke to vent his anger?"

"."

[Itachi, as Konoha's weapon of mass destruction, only chose a slightly better outcome due to circumstances beyond his control.]

On the night of the massacre of his clan, Itachi Uchiha tearfully drew his sword to bid farewell to his parents. They entrusted Sasuke to Itachi, saying, "Compared to you, our suffering will end in an instant."

From that moment on, Itachi silently began to play the most vicious person, waiting for his younger brother Sasuke, and determined to have Sasuke join the Avengers, making himself Sasuke's target for revenge.

Itachi: If you're a brother, come and cut me down!

When Itachi fled Konoha, he threatened Danzo that if he dared to harm Sasuke, he would betray the village's information to the enemy country.

After escaping, he joined the Akatsuki organization and became a spy.

The Third Hokage tacitly accepted this fact and promised Itachi he would protect his younger brother.

"Really? He really is a good older brother."

Looking at the light screen, Sasuke revealed another cold smile.

Naruto, oblivious to Sasuke's emotions, whispered to Kakashi, "It seems like Sasuke's brother treats him quite well."

Kakashi looked at Naruto helplessly, wondering why he had come to such a conclusion, and for a moment he couldn't find any words to answer him.

He was afraid that if he gave a bad answer, Sasuke would bring up Obito again.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Although Naruto spoke softly, Sasuke still heard him.

He didn't get angry at Naruto, but said coldly, "Imagine your beloved brother suddenly killing your uncles, aunts, and parents. You'd want to kill him as soon as possible, but then you find out that everything he did was for you. How would you feel?"

"Well"

Naruto got stuck; such a complicated question was really not suitable for him.

After holding it in for a while, he could only give a silly smile and say, "I'm sorry, Sasuke, I don't have a brother, parents, uncles, aunts, or anything like that. I can't imagine any of those things at all."

"."

Sasuke was also stunned.

He then remembered that this idiot was also a very pitiful fellow.

His parents died shortly after he was born.

Yes, he was killed by Obito.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Kakashi and said, "Obito really deserves to die."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Kakashi's forehead.

At that moment, he truly felt Sasuke's killing intent.

He genuinely wanted to kill Obito.

"Lord Orochimaru, when will Sasuke's parents be able to be resurrected?"

Knowing he couldn't persuade Sasuke, Kakashi decided to target Orochimaru instead.

Orochimaru is capable of reviving the dead, isn't he?

So if Sasuke's parents are resurrected, perhaps his hatred won't be so great.

"Well, that depends on what Jiraiya and the old man think."

Orochimaru knew Kakashi's intention: to divert attention from Sasuke and make him the target of the trouble.

Fortunately, he was no pushover either, and easily shifted the blame to the Third Hokage and the Fifth Jiraiya.

Third Hokage, Jiraiya: Orochimaru, thank you so much!

Suddenly, I feel that in terms of facing enemies, Sasuke is a bit like Tony Stark, Itachi is a bit like the Winter Soldier, and Konoha is like Hydra...
