Chapter 23 Sasuke's Choice
On the way to the Land of Rain, the masked man looked at Itachi who was walking in front and asked: "Itachi, aren't you curious about that child? Could he be Danzo's man?"
Itachi replied without looking back: "I am a little curious. That child can use the Diamond Seal, which means he is from the Uzumaki clan and is very powerful. But I have never seen this child in Konoha."
The masked man asked curiously: "Oh, could it be Uzumaki Naruto? I heard that Uzumaki Naruto is also very powerful and can hurt the Raikage at such a young age."
Itachi replied: "Impossible, Naruto was hit by my Tsukuyomi, it is impossible for him to wake up so soon, and Naruto has blond hair, and that child has red hair. Besides, Naruto's space ninjutsu is Flying Thunder God, but that child did not use Flying Thunder God, but the same eye technique as us."
The masked man said in surprise: "Eye technique, but I didn't see any changes in his eyes. ?"
Itachi said calmly: "His eyes did not change. He used space movement twice in front of me. The first time I found that when he used space movement, it was accompanied by strong pupil power fluctuations. The second time I knew that the pupil power fluctuations were not from the eyes, but from the forehead. So he should have another eye on his forehead."
The masked man asked curiously: "Forehead, indeed I also found some power fluctuating on his forehead. I thought it was the fluctuation of his technique, but I didn't expect it to be pupil technique. However, that fluctuation seems to be different from the fluctuation of the Sharingan. If it is a pupil technique, besides the Sharingan, what other eyes can have the power of space? Even the Sharingan has the power of space, which is rare."
Itachi recalled: "I remember there is another kind of eye that has the power of space. I heard about it from my father, and that is the power of the Byakugan." The
masked man was surprised: "Bai Gan, impossible. If the Byakugan really has such a strong power, then why has the Hyuga family never seen a ninja who can use space, but mostly uses physical skills."
Itachi replied calmly: "That's because no one in the Hyuga family has truly developed the true power of the Byakugan. And I feel that to unleash the true power of the Byakugan requires a huge amount of chakra, just like the Sharingan in our Uchiha family. Without strong chakra as a backup, it will still not exert strong power. It's just that the chakra required to unleash the power of the Byakugan is obviously much more than the Sharingan."
The masked man said: "I didn't expect you to know so much about the Byakugan. I'm curious how you knew it."
Itachi replied: "Nothing, I just read a lot of books. There are records in the Uchiha family's ancestral hall, but not many people are willing to read it. I think the Hyuga family is the same. Except for the clan leader, there are very few people who know it. People pay attention to these things. "
Itachi paused and said: "In the records of our Uchiha family, the Uchiha and Hyuga families are related by blood. The ancestor of the Uchiha is Indra, the son of the Six Paths Sage, and the ancestor of the Hyuga family is the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage. It's just that there are very few records about the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage. We only know that the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage has the Byakugan, and we don't know anything else. But since he is the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage, he must not be a simple person. "
The masked man said in a daze: "So that's the case, but why does that child have Byakugan? He is obviously from the Uzumaki clan. "
Itachi replied: "I don't know this, but what I know is that the child is very dangerous. I don't know his ability, but I feel that he is not inferior to me, so I don't want to provoke him. He should be someone sent by Danzo. "
The masked man didn't ask again after hearing what Itachi said. The two walked silently towards the Land of Rain.
At this time, in the basement of Konoha, the child with the ghost mask appeared behind Danzo. Danzo seemed to know that he would come, and he was not surprised.
He just asked calmly: "Is the matter resolved?"
The child replied: "Well, all the rebels are dead, Uchiha Itachi has left with the Akatsuki people, this is what you want."
The child took out a bottle from the storage scroll and put it on the table. The bottle was filled with unknown liquid and a Sharingan with three magatama.
After Danzo looked at the bottle, he also took out a scroll and threw it to the child and said: "This is the spirit transformation technique you want."
The child took the scroll and looked at it and said: "Thank you, I'll leave if there's nothing else. I hope to cooperate with you next time." After that, the child disappeared.
Danzo didn't mind, just stared at the bottle for a while. He called an Anbu and said: "Give this to Orochimaru."
The Anbu replied "yes" and left with the bottle.
The child appeared in the Death Forest of Konoha. He opened the scroll and read it, and burned it after reading it.
He murmured, "It still won't work. Let's go back first, maybe that guy will have a way." After that, he saw the child dissipated into a puff of black smoke.
The next morning, the whole Konoha was shaken. The Uchiha family suffered a serious blow. The entire security department was sentenced to be
killed by Uchiha Itachi alone.
The third generation Hokage issued an S-level arrest warrant for Uchiha Itachi. This was the biggest thing in Konoha after the sacrifice of the fourth generation. The whole Konoha was in a panic.
The whole Konoha was holding a funeral. Naruto and Sasuke also came to the memorial in Konoha to pay tribute to the dead.
At the funeral, Naruto saw the sadness and pain of the family members, which was a big blow to him. He had obviously made a lot of efforts to prevent this tragedy from happening, but he greatly underestimated the darkness of this world, and Itachi still carried out the order.
Konoha still attacked all the Uchiha family. Itachi also became a rebel ninja and joined Akatsuki. For the first time, Naruto doubted whether he could change this sad world. The only thing that made Naruto feel relieved was that the Uchiha clan was not exterminated.
At noon, everyone left. Naruto and Sasuke saw Uchiha Jing still standing in front of the memorial tablet, silently shedding tears.
Sasuke wanted to go up to comfort her, but was stopped by Naruto and said, "Let Jing stay for a while. After all, all this was done by the person she loved the most. I think Jing must be very sad, so it's better to let her stay for a while. Besides, you are not that much better."
Sasuke looked at Naruto firmly and said, "Tell me what happened, why did my brother do such a thing, why did dad and mom seem to not care about what my brother did, you know dad is the head of the Uchiha family, now this happened in the family, but he doesn't seem to care much. Tell me why, I know you must know."
Naruto looked at Sasuke's firm eyes and knew that if he didn't tell him the truth, something terrible might happen to Sasuke's temperament.
And Naruto didn't want to hide it from Sasuke, because Sasuke was also a very wise and persistent person, and it was not a bad thing to tell him some things, maybe there would be other choices.
So Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "Do you really want to know? You should know that you may not be able to accept the truth after you know it."
Sasuke said firmly, "Whether I can accept it or not, I want to know. I want to know the truth of everything. I want to know why my brother did this, and why my parents are so indifferent to the great changes in the family."
Naruto looked into Sasuke's eyes and said, "Okay, I'll tell you why all this happened, but you also have to tell me your choice after you know the truth."
Sasuke replied happily, "Okay."
"Then let's go to the Hokage Rock and talk." Naruto said and walked towards the Hokage Rock, and Sasuke followed behind Naruto.
After arriving at the Hokage Rock, Naruto told Sasuke why Itachi joined Akatsuki after slaughtering his people and why Fu Qiu and Mikoto were so indifferent.
Naruto looked at Sasuke who looked unacceptable after knowing the truth and said: "Brother Itachi, Uncle Fuqiu and Aunt Mikoto are afraid that you will not be able to bear it if they tell you this, so they hide it from you. After all, you are the most precious brother and son to them. They don't want you to accept this dark fact, they just want you to live happily."
Sasuke said excitedly: "Do they think I can live happily like this? Taking all the things on themselves, am I so useless?"
Naruto said: "This can't be blamed on them, after all, they just don't want you to get hurt. I know you can't accept such a thing for a while. Don't worry, I will wait for you here tomorrow, and you can tell me your choice."
Naruto left after speaking, letting Sasuke stay quietly for a while. After all, this kind of thing is not something that everyone can bear, not to mention that Sasuke is only 7 years old now, even an adult can't accept it.
So Naruto asked Sasuke to calm down, but Naruto believed that Sasuke would not let him down.
The next morning, Naruto came to the Hokage Rock and saw Sasuke waiting for him from a distance. Naruto came to Sasuke and said, "I didn't expect you to come so early. Come on, tell me what you think and what you are going to do next."
Sasuke looked at the entire Konoha Village and said, "I hope the world can be peaceful, no more darkness, no more sadness. I thought about it for a long time, and I suddenly thought of you. You said you wanted to be Hokage, you wanted to change the world, and hoped that I could help you. Now this is also my dream. I think you and I can change the world."
Naruto also looked at the entire Konoha Village and was filled with joy. Sasuke did not live up to his expectations, nor did he let him down. He smiled and said, "Well, we will change the world."
Naruto thought of Hashirama and Madara at this moment. History happened in a surprisingly similar way at this moment, but Naruto believed that his and Sasuke's ending would not be the same as Hashirama and Madara, because Sasuke is different from Madara, and he is also different from Hashirama. Naruto believes that he and Sasuke can bring true peace to the world.
