I, Yhwach, join the chat group

One magatama, two magatama, three magatama, then it broke the boundaries and turned into a kaleidoscope. Finally, the pattern froze in the shape of a chrysanthemum, the Eternal Eye!

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't believe it, and it took him a while to look away.

"Tell me, what is the truth?"

"It seems you already want to listen."

Madara Six Paths chuckled and said, "The only people who know the truth, including me, are Qin, the people behind the Akatsuki, the Third Hokage of Konoha and Danzo, as well as Homura and Koharu who serve as advisors. Of course, Orochimaru can guess part of it, but he doesn't know it all."

"What happened that day?" Uchiha Sasuke was distraught.

"The part you know is also reality. On that day, Uchiha Itachi did kill an entire clan, defected, and left Konoha. But... that was a mission Konoha assigned to him."

"What? You mean, a mission?"

"Yes, that day, as the captain of the Anbu, he completed the mission perfectly and brilliantly."

Madara Six Paths whispered, "He was just a victim of political struggle. Let's start from the beginning. How much do you know about the founding of Konoha?"

Without waiting for Uchiha Sasuke to answer, Six Paths Madara continued to explain.

About 80 years ago, the ninja world was still in the Warring States Period. In that chaotic era, the system of one country and one village had not been established.

At that time, the most prominent Senju clan and Uchiha clan, tired of the disputes, signed a ceasefire agreement.

Afterwards, Konoha was established, and the patriarch of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju, naturally became the first Hokage.

However, the Uchiha clan gradually became a lackey.

Uchiha Madara certainly didn't want this to happen, for the sake of his clan, but at that time, the Uchiha clan members were tired of war and did not follow Madara's footsteps...

Afterwards, Madara left Konoha and became an Avenger. One day, he brought the Nine-tailed Demon Fox with him and had a fatal battle with Hashirama Senju.

There are statues of both of them standing in the "Valley of the End".

"I lost that battle. Everyone thought I was dead, even Hashirama thought so."

Madara Six Paths said expressionlessly: "After my death, Hashirama Senju's younger brother, Tobirama Senju, became the Second Hokage. In order to prevent traitors like me, Tobirama Senju set up the Konoha Guard Force specifically for the Uchiha clan. It was more of a way to keep the clan from becoming the center of the political power than to appease them."

The Uchiha clan was of course dissatisfied with this, and even moved their residence to a remote corner of the village.

But at that time, the Senju clan was at its peak and the Uchiha clan could no longer compete.

"This is the so-called cause of the struggle, and it really broke out because of one thing."

Madara Six Paths looked at Sasuke, his voice filled with sarcasm, "Twelve years ago, when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, the Konoha high-ups believed it was the Uchiha clan's doing. After all, only the Sharingan can control the tailed beasts, but in fact it was just a natural disaster."

Konoha wanted to purge the Uchiha clan, but the Third Hokage disagreed.

The Uchiha clan, who discovered this, finally seized power. To do this, they sent a spy into the Anbu.

"That person... is your brother, Uchiha Itachi."

Madara Six Paths shook his head, "That was the beginning of your brother, Uchiha Itachi's hellish life. You were still young at that time and didn't know anything. But this is the fact, your father is the leader of the coup organization."

On one side is one's own family and relatives, and on the other side is the village.

Once the coup begins, there will inevitably be bloodshed. The Uchiha clan will lose, and your brother must think so too.

Peace is hard-won. Can you understand Uchiha Itachi's feelings at that time?

"Itachi is... a spy?" Uchiha Sasuke's face was blank. "Father is planning a coup?"

"For those of you who haven't experienced war, you might not understand how he felt at the time. He's a peace-loving person. He doesn't want his clan to suffer, nor does he want the peace of the village to be disrupted. The Konoha high-ups took advantage of this and, at a certain point, gave him a mission."

"That, that mission..."

"That's right, massacre the entire clan, and the condition is that you leave your younger brother behind... That younger brother who knows everything is you!"

Chapter 467 Destroying Konoha

On the one hand, "Itachi is my enemy" and on the other hand, "He is trying to protect me", two completely different answers kept entangled in my mind.

"It's hard for ordinary people to make up their minds to attack their own vampires. It even triggers me. Itachi was forced to make a choice. You are his weakness."

Madara Six Paths folded his arms, sat aside, and looked at him quietly: "But if we allow the Uchiha clan to start a civil war, Konoha will be shaken, and other countries will take advantage of the situation. It might even trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War... Because of the selfish desires of one clan, many people in the ninja world will die. If you were Itachi, what would you do?"

"I...I don't know..."

Sasuke, who was only twelve years old and would soon be 13, was completely at a loss when faced with such a choice.

"Itachi has decided to personally put an end to the history of his clan."

Madara Six Paths shook his head and said, "His betrayal wasn't due to any hatred towards the clan, nor was it due to complete obedience to Danzo's orders. Rather, he had no other options... For the sake of peace, and for you, his brother, Itachi chose to bear this hatred, discrimination, and grievance alone, leaving Konoha and joining the Akatsuki."

As for why he joined Akatsuki, Six Paths Madara was too lazy to say much, but it didn't affect his brainwashing of Sasuke anyway.

"No one will blame him. Even I can only sympathize with his situation."

Madara Six Paths continued, "Old Ancestor Qin, you don't know how sensitive Konoha's reaction was after you appeared beside us, right? During that period, there were more than ten Anbu ninjas lurking around almost every day. If it weren't for Qin's presence, you would have probably been captured by Danzo."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes showed a slight fluctuation.

"So when Orochimaru attacked Konoha, the ancestor chose to stand by and watch?"

"That's right. The ancestor only cares about you, the orphan of the Uchiha clan. He doesn't care about what happens to Konoha. It's better to say that the ancestor helped Orochimaru so that he could fight the Third Hokage one-on-one."

"So that's it...!"

Uchiha Sasuke shuddered all over.

Uchiha Itachi, the beloved elder brother in his childhood, chose to sacrifice himself to protect him, carrying the hatred alone, and turning hatred into his goal and motivation until he possessed the same Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Itachi has high hopes for you. Throughout the Uchiha clan, there are very few who can open the Mangekyō. After me, apart from a few others, you have the most potential."

Madara Six Paths stood up and stood in front of the bed, saying, "Itachi has entrusted you with the important task of revitalizing the clan. What do you want to do next?"

"Where is the ancestor?"

Uchiha Sasuke was in tears. He wiped his tears sadly, and his pair of eternal Mangekyo were unconsciously in an open state.

"The ancestor... to you, he's the ancestor, but to me, he's an uncle." Madara sneered, "Of course he has things to do, important things. Like Itachi, he has high expectations for you. He told you, right? Above the Eternal Mangekyō, there's the Rinnegan. He hopes you can reach that level."

"Itachi might want me to stay in Konoha, but I can't do it. After learning all this, I am filled with passion and have only one thought..."

Uchiha Sasuke dragged his tired body to his feet, walked to the door of the secret room, and pushed it open.

"...Destroy Konoha!"

……

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

"Broken Path No. 11: Decorated with Thunder and Lightning!"

In a secret training ground, the Fourth Raikage finally used his first Kidō.

"It's true."

The lightning shot out along his arm, directly penetrating the puppet in front of him and piercing the opponent's chest.

This is not chakra, it is the power of the soul. It is impossible to defend against it with ordinary means!"

The Raikage was surprised.

Last night, he made a deal with Aizen, exchanging 130 scrolls for power, unlocking his own spiritual power and also mastering the first kidō.

"This kind of power doesn't require lengthy learning. With a scroll and the ability to unlock one's own spiritual power, one can quickly master it. All it takes is a team of elite jonin, and even an assassination can be accomplished without the enemy's knowledge!"

The Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes and turned around suddenly.

He left the training grounds and returned to the Raikage's office.

"How is the situation in Konoha?"

"Reporting to Lord Raikage, Konoha seems to have found Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas. That person has become the Fifth Hokage."

"Great, don't miss this opportunity!"

The Fourth Raikage gave the order in a deep voice, "Notify the Jonin Squad to assemble and prepare to wage war against Konoha! Reason? We don't need one. High-sounding excuses are meaningless to us! We have no chance of losing!"

As long as there are four or five elite Jonin who master the Kidō, Konoha's high-end combat forces can be assassinated one by one.

The Raikage could not imagine the possibility of defeat.

And now is the weakest time in Konoha's history. Although Tsunade has become the new Hokage, she has just taken office and it is unknown whether she can even hold the position firmly. If she doesn't fight now, when will she fight?

"Yes, Raikage-sama!"

……

Water Country, Mist Village 600.

"elder sister!"

A shy boy wearing glasses looked at Mei Terumi worriedly.

At this moment, Mei Terumi was sitting on the Mizukage's throne, her pretty face slightly distorted.

Inside her body, lightning flashed, paralyzing her organs.

"Damn it, it's only been a few days and it's happening every day. Is this a warning? Each time it's getting more powerful than the last!"

Mei Terumi thought to herself, "Looks like I have no choice but to take action. With my strength, I simply can't dissolve this power."

Whenever she thought of the man's threats, she was filled with rage. For a dignified Mizukage, being threatened and "bound" in the heart of her own home was simply a great shame and humiliation.

Thinking of this, Mei Terumi suppressed her discomfort, raised her hand, and said, "Chojuro, prepare to come with me to visit Konoha. I heard that Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage, I must pay her a visit..."

"Eh?" The boy named Chojuro was stunned.

As an island country, the Water Country has always had the policy of managing its own territory. Now that other countries have changed their image, do they also want to visit them?

"Don't ask anymore. Tell Qing that we shouldn't have too many people on this operation."

Anyway, he just wanted to find out the situation and feel out Konoha's bottom line. It would be a foolish act to start a war rashly.

"Yes, sister."

Chapter 468: Battle against the Tsuchikage

On the side of the Tsuchikage, there are at least ten or more jonin, as well as the Tsuchikage, a powerful Kage-level warrior.

"What a surprise! Although I expected reinforcements when I let that Genin go, I didn't expect it to be led by the Tsuchikage himself."

Hoshigaki Kisame chuckled and said, "Did you catch a big fish during your so-called fishing?"

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Itachi, what do you think?"
