Huh?
Is it raining?
But why is this rainwater warm...?
Ah, so these are my tears.
But why am I crying?
I came this far solely to avenge him. Now that he's dead, shouldn't I be happy? I've avenged my parents, I've avenged my people!
Shouldn't I be happy?
But why can't I be happy?
Laugh! Laugh now!
Damn it!
Just then, a figure appeared in front of Sasuke, gently placed Itachi on the ground, and looked at Sasuke, saying, "I know you have too many questions you want to know. I promised this guy I wouldn't tell you. But now that he's dead, the deal is void. So I'll tell you everything you want to know, including the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre."
"But before that, I have to tell you something. That is, you have always had an older brother who loves you deeply. The information he gave about the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is all true. There is only one thing he lied to you about."
Zuo Zhu raised his head blankly.
"Remember what I told you before, that you don't need to worry too much about the side effects? Actually, someone has already prepared everything for you. These Mangekyou Sharingan are Itachi's final gift to you."
Zuo Zhu was stunned, then clenched his fists and lowered his head.
The rain seemed to be falling even harder.
It's like seeing someone off.
Instead of teasing Sasuke at this moment, Shinji slowly revealed the truth about the matter that had been kept hidden.
[Chapter 501 The Tomb!]
Sasuke abruptly raised his head, his eyes icy as he uttered two words, "Konoha!"
Although it was the Uchiha clan that wanted to launch a coup first, it was indeed the Konoha leadership that ultimately drove all the Uchiha to their deaths.
The tragedy that unfolded in Itachi's case also involved a choice between the village and his family.
However, Itachi chose the greater good and chose to bear all the sins himself.
Sasuke's desire was simpler: he just wanted a complete family.
It's just a pity that it can never be realized again.
Upon seeing Sasuke in this state, Shinji immediately knew what kind of mindset he was in.
He immediately said, "Don't let hatred blind you."
Sasuke remained unmoved and coldly replied, "So that's why Itachi never let me know the truth? Even in death, he wanted to protect Konoha and didn't want me to seek revenge."
"Yes, you're right. Itachi spent the first half of his life protecting Konoha, so of course he didn't want his younger brother to seek revenge on the village he protected. That was the last thing he wanted to see. Besides, why do you think you were able to survive back then? The entire Uchiha clan was basically wiped out, so why leave you as the sole survivor? Don't those big shots know the principle that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze?"
Shinji looked at Sasuke seriously and continued, "One of the terms of the deal back then was that your life had to be guaranteed. Under immense pressure from Itachi, the Konoha leadership had no choice but to agree. But the condition was that the last Uchiha survivor in the village was someone who knew nothing and wouldn't harbor any hatred towards the village."
"Not telling you the truth is protecting you, otherwise you would be dead already."
The truth is often cruel...
Sasuke suffered several major blows today, and his face had turned very pale.
But the Uchiha clan are all hotheads and stubborn fools; once they make a decision, even the eight tailed beasts can't pull them back.
"No matter what, I will make Konoha pay the price!"
Sasuke, who didn't feel much belonging to Konoha to begin with, immediately set a goal.
Shinji frowned slightly. "Itachi wouldn't want to see you do this."
"Then wait until he comes back to life before you try to stop me."
"Kid, don't get too cocky. Do you really think nobody can control you now?"
Shinji grinned maliciously and reached out his right hand to vigorously rub Sasuke's head.
This move is called "Angrily Rubbing a Dog's Head"!
Sasuke...didn't dare to resist.
He has neither the strength nor the ability to resist now.
However, this move finally brought him to his senses.
“Listen, I’m choosing to tell you the truth because I think you deserve to know what happened back then. It’s not because I want to transfer all your hatred and regret for Itachi to your next target. Revenge is not the meaning of your life, at least not the only one.”
"Besides, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I generally prefer to reason things out. I won't stop you from seeking revenge, but before that, you need to figure out who your target is."
"There are so many ordinary people in Konoha. Are you going to kill them one by one? Even that idiot Hidan knows how shameful it is to attack ordinary people. Are you even worse than him?"
Sasuke finally took Shinji's words to heart and nodded, saying, "I know what to do."
"You know nothing! I bet your first thought is to kill the Third Hokage, right?"
Sasuke paused for a moment, and although he didn't say anything, his expression said it all.
Shinji looked at him with a disappointed expression and said, "Use your brain! Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly bears some responsibility for what happened back then. But there are a few guys who deserve to die even more!"
Sasuke thought for a moment, and several names immediately popped into his head.
The Uchiha clan was destined for extermination, and some high-ranking officials of Konoha played an undeniable role in this!
In comparison, these are the people who deserve to die the most!
At first, Sasuke did indeed have the idea of completely destroying Konoha.
However, under Shinji's unorthodox doctrines, he gradually calmed down.
Considering Itachi's unwavering commitment to protecting Konoha until his death, Sasuke decided to seek justice and an explanation from the Hokage and his ilk, hoping to prevent further harm to innocent bystanders.
This is a very important change in mindset.
After all, the Sasuke in the original work was much more extreme than the Sasuke we know now.
Sasuke took a deep breath. "I will make those guys pay the price."
This time, Shinji didn't stop him.
. . . . . . .
A few days later, Sasuke buried Itachi with his own hands.
Before this, after several attempts by Shinji to persuade him, Sasuke, who was still struggling with his own conscience, still took out Itachi's eyes.
Shinji's reasoning was quite practical: the Mangekyou Sharingan was a 'gift' Itachi prepared for Sasuke.
Even if Sasuke doesn't take it, he will definitely be targeted in the future.
Therefore, in order to prevent Itachi from being disturbed again, it is absolutely necessary to take out the Mangekyou Sharingan and keep it safe.
Someday in the future, Sasuke will also experience blindness.
Then we can make the best use of them.
On the other hand, Sasuke wanted to continue taking revenge on those people.
What could possibly help Sasuke resolve his inner conflict more than seeking revenge with Itachi's eyes?!
Sasuke was eventually persuaded, but he didn't want to transplant Itachi's eyes yet.
At the weasel's grave.
Sasuke's face was cold, his eyes revealing a lingering sadness, as if he had matured overnight.
The more he hated Itachi before, the more pain he felt at this moment.
After a long while, Sasuke put down the flowers, turned around, and slowly left.
"True revenge begins now."
When Shinji reunited with Sasuke and Hidan, everyone noticed that Sasuke was different.
Although Sasuke had a cold demeanor before, it was mostly an act, a way of showing off and being cool.
But Sasuke now seems like a completely different person, with an unapproachable demeanor.
It's a heartfelt way of keeping people at arm's length.
Hidan asked curiously, "What's wrong with this kid? Why does he look so grim after coming back from his trip?"
Shinji thought to himself, "You actually guessed it!"
Although she didn't lose her biological mother, she did lose her biological brother, and she also discovered that she had been hating the wrong person and targeting the wrong person for revenge all along...
Anyone would have a mental breakdown and a drastic personality change if they were in that situation!
"Something's happened, so don't provoke him these next few days. Also, we're not going to the Land of Jade; we're going straight to the Land of Sound."
"The Kingdom of Sound?"
"Oh, it was originally called the Land of Fields, but Orochimaru took it over and renamed it the Land of Sound. I'm going to go and see if that dead snake is really dead."
[Chapter 502 Searching for the Snake]
Inside the secret base where the Outer Path Statue is located.
As the last wisp of chakra was absorbed into the Gedo Mazo, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Uta, died.
Only then did all the members of Xiao have a chance to move around a bit.
"With one less person, the sealing time has been extended again."
"Is Itachi really dead, or did he take the opportunity to escape?"
Deidara couldn't help but mutter something under his breath, which immediately drew a murderous glare from Kisame.
"Why are you glaring at me? I didn't say anything wrong."
Deidara wasn't afraid of Kisame and immediately started to fight him.
The main reason is that he always wanted to prove himself again in front of Itachi. For example, the C4 Garuda ninjutsu was invented by him in order to kill Itachi.
