Zuo Zhu removed his mask, and as he spoke, he raised his hand and stretched it to the side, whereupon a wooden chair quickly took shape.

He sat down, looked at Pain across from him, and waited for the leader of Akatsuki to slowly understand his meaning.

"Did you come to deliver something to me, Sasuke-kun? I don't think we've known each other before..."

Orochimaru reacted faster than the others. Under Itachi Uchiha's death stare, he chuckled and walked up to Sasuke.

He was very curious to know what good things this Uchiha boy could bring him.

Surely you're not planning to send him a corpse of Itachi Uchiha?

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly realized it made a lot of sense.

They came to take Itachi Uchiha's life and then deliver Itachi's corpse to him...

However, he had never even met this Uchiha orphan before.

“It’s a gift, something you need. We can talk about it separately later. I need to find Uchiha Itachi first and get something I need.”

Sasuke glanced at Orochimaru, ignored his gaze, and turned to stare at Uchiha Itachi.

"You shouldn't have come here. And in your current state, you can't take what you want..."

Itachi Uchiha was saddened. His younger brother was still too weak, and he shouldn't have come out at this time.

Once Sasuke becomes stronger and reaches a level where he can catch up with him, he will proactively offer Sasuke everything he wants.

But giving it to him now would be harming him...

"You're saying I can't take it? If I wasn't sure I could take it, I wouldn't have come all the way here to find you... Mr. Orochimaru, don't look at me like that, that guy didn't say you were here."

Sasuke originally wanted to have a proper talk with Uchiha Itachi, but Orochimaru's gaze was just too eager.

The lab that Black Zetsu had mentioned building was meant to be next to Orochimaru's. He hadn't mentioned that Orochimaru was still in Akatsuki, so Black Zetsu assumed it was time for Orochimaru to leave.

However, none of that matters. Even if we're still in Akatsuki, it doesn't matter. There's no conflict of interest, and we might even be able to cooperate.

But for now, Mr. Snake, you'd better stay away and not disturb the conversation between the Uchiha brothers.

"Looks like I was overthinking it, but... I'll wait for you to come see me alone, Sasuke-kun!"

After being stared at by those Mangekyou Sharingan, Orochimaru suddenly understood.

So, the reason why Sasuke came to find him was because someone had acted as a go-between.

He decided to wait and see who it was and what gift they were going to give him.

"We'll head out first. Itachi Uchiha, you need to settle your brother's matter as soon as possible."

After Orochimaru left, Pain also left with Kisaki and Kakuzu.

They were all very curious about the Uchiha brothers, but those two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan were still quite threatening.

After everyone had left, Sasuke smiled and extended his hand to Itachi Uchiha.

"Give it to me, the Mangekyou Sharingan left behind by Uchiha Shisui."

Zuo Zhu was not polite at all; his goal was that eye, and all he wanted to do now was take it and leave.

As for killing Itachi Uchiha...

If you kill him later, let him slowly torture himself for a few years first, and then deal with him when his body is about to collapse.

"You mean Shisui's eyes?"

Itachi Uchiha was convinced that his younger brother had come to kill him, but he never expected that his brother was someone completely unrelated to him.

Actually, there is some connection, since Uchiha Shisui left his eyes to him before he died.

"That eye, it's already set up. Whoever it glares at will have to become a slave to Konoha!"

Sasuke was not very polite to Itachi Uchiha, even though Itachi had been modified, it didn't matter.

The guy who tormented his younger brother in the original storyline—even if it wasn't used on him, just thinking about it makes him very unhappy.

Chapter 269 Did Uchiha Itachi Feel the Pain?

"Who told you that? And besides, that eye isn't for making someone a slave in Konoha..."

Itachi Uchiha had a feeling that the person who revealed certain information to Sasuke was the future Sasuke, the one who attacked him on the night of the massacre.

And Shisui's eyes—those eyes were meant to protect Konoha. How can that be considered a slave?

"Never mind who told me, now take out that eye, and..."

The Uchiha clan, who were plotted against and successfully destroyed by Konoha for many years, how could they possibly have the intention to protect Konoha if they were not slaves whose minds were manipulated?

Who would want to protect their enemy?

Even animals know to seek revenge; would a normal person choose to abandon hatred?

Sasuke coldly stared at Uchiha Itachi. This guy had already been forcibly brainwashed by Genne, yet he still believed that Uchiha Shisui's eye was something that should be kept.

He really needs to be taught a lesson; this older brother is always testing people's patience!

"Sasuke, you can't think like that..."

Itachi Uchiha looked pained by what Sasuke said; he couldn't let Sasuke dwell on his hatred for Konoha.

Konoha is not as simple as it seems. If Sasuke reveals his intention to seek revenge against Konoha, then...

"You won't give it to me, huh? Fine, I'll take it myself, Asura!"

Sasuke got angry when Itachi Uchiha tried to return to some kind of original storyline.

Ashura raised his hand and lightly touched the red pattern between the eyebrows of the black cat on his shoulder. Suddenly, Ashura turned into a cloud of mist and enveloped Uchiha Itachi.

"Zuozhu, what have you done?"

Unable to understand what was going on, and unable to sense any movement of chakra, Itachi Uchiha stared at Sasuke in horror, but there was nothing he could do.

His body is now out of control, and even some of his memories are being read and retrieved.

He was finally freed only when a peculiar crow appeared beside him, enveloped in black mist, and delivered to Sasuke.

"It's this kind of thing that killed my brother, leaving only a traitor like you. How laughable!"

After Sasuke caught the crow and coldly mocked Itachi Uchiha, a ball of lightning chakra suddenly appeared in his still small palm.

Lightning chakra entangled the crow, and under Itachi Uchiha's pained gaze, the lightning chains pierced the crow again and again. The crow cried out in agony for a long time before being slowly torn apart.

"Those who betrayed the Uchiha, let them bear the pain for what they left behind. After all, if it weren't for you, how could I be the only one left alive in the Uchiha clan!"

Sasuke deliberately let Itachi see it clearly, and he only felt irony at Itachi's pained gaze.

As a young, talented clan leader who had been supported by his family since childhood and enjoyed the benefits brought by the family, he ruined the entire clan...

Even if the Uchiha clan has no chance of winning against Konoha, surely they wouldn't all be wiped out?

Moreover, in the heat of battle, killing even one is not a loss; even if you die, killing a few more Konoha ninjas might be considered a gain!

As a result, because of these few people who had been brainwashed by Konoha, Konoha was completely unharmed, while the Uchiha clan members not only died, but died in such a humiliating way...

"Sasuke, why...why have you become like this? Konoha isn't as simple as you think..."

Itachi Uchiha thought that if he didn't do this, Sasuke would die.

But he never intended to say those words in the first place.

Moreover, he's been thinking for the past two years about what would have happened if he had made a different choice...

What's already happened is pointless to speculate further, but he still can't help but think about it.

The more I think about it, the more painful it becomes, yet all I can do is keep telling myself that at least Sasuke is still here...

"Konoha?"

Don't worry, Konoha will pay the price!

I will not let any of my enemies go, including you, Uchiha Itachi!

My dear brother, who betrayed everyone for my sake and pushed me into the role of an Avenger!

Sasuke's laughter was filled with paranoia and distortion, a frenzied expression of his resentment.

Even the things that Itachi Uchiha had been hiding were revealed directly by him.

"What...what are you saying..."

Itachi Uchiha's mind was in complete chaos; he couldn't believe that Sasuke knew everything.

"Don't you know that?"

My dear brother, the future me, has already told me everything that will happen in the future.

Do you consider your sacrifice to be great?

Do you think I should follow the path you've laid out, step by step, until I can personally remove your eyes, and only then will I learn the whole truth after I kill you?

You are truly, utterly foolish!

Mist surrounded Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke attributed all the reason he knew certain information to his future self.

Anyway, that's what Itachi Uchiha thinks too, so let him continue to misunderstand.

"Zuozhu...I'm sorry..."

Uchiha Itachi realized that besides saying sorry, he didn't know what else to say.

He's the one who caused Sasuke to become like this; he deserves all of this...

"Sorry is the most useless thing. Live well. When I need you, I will personally take these eyes out. Right now, you are nothing more than a living original container for these eyes!"

Sasuke waved the eyeball in his palm at Itachi Uchiha. It was Shisui Uchiha's eye, left over after he tore the crow apart.

However, just as Itachi Uchiha saw it clearly, he clenched his fist tightly, crushing his eyeballs, and blood trickled down his palm.

One of the Sharingan, which can forcefully control and alter the thoughts of others, and the bug-level Kotoamatsukami, has disappeared.

The remaining eye is with Danzo Shimura. It's unknown whether that eye has the same control, but regardless, he needs to remove it when he goes back.

The power of this Kotoamatsukami was not complete after it was extracted; both of them needed to be brought together before he could fuse this power into Huanyin.

As for what Itachi Uchiha saw—the crushing...

It's fake. He just casually created a fake Sharingan in his palm when the crow was torn apart.
