Chapter 551 Uchiha Itachi’s Promise

Uchiha Qiushan was still very confident in Yahiko and Nagato. After hearing their promise, he nodded, sealed a slug on the table in the scroll, and handed it to Yahiko.

Just after Yahiko took the scroll, Uchiha Qiushan seemed to remember something and asked curiously:

"By the way, do Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu know that Yahiko has been resurrected?"

Come to think of it, if Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu knew that Yahiko had been resurrected, they shouldn't have acted so calmly.

Because they knew very well that in this ninja world, the only way to be resurrected was to use the Outer Path Reincarnation Technique in the Rinnegan.

If they had seen Yahiko resurrected, they would have caused a commotion a long time ago, right?

And Uchiha Obito should also know that although Yahiko is not the strongest, he is the spiritual leader of the Akatsuki organization.

If he were there, Nagato and Konan wouldn't have listened to them at all.

After hearing what Uchiha Qiushan said, Yahiko and Nagato beside him smiled at each other, then wiped their hands across their faces, revealing a different look.

Uchiha Qiushan was also stunned after seeing this, and finally shook his head with a smile.

"Tian Dao Pain, I didn't expect to have the chance to see you again."

It turns out that the appearance that Yahiko revealed was exactly that of Tendo Pain.

That's right, Tendo Pain was originally made from Yahiko's corpse. After a little disguise, no one would be able to tell the difference between them.

At this moment, Yahiko already looked like Pain, even his expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:

"Yes, this is the best disguise. Neither Uchiha Obito nor that guy called Black Zetsu thought that I could be resurrected.

So I can stay in the Hidden Rain Village like this, and as long as I am not too far away from Nagato, no one should be able to see through my disguise."

Hearing Yahiko's words, Uchiha Qiushan couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization are now under their control. Even Uchiha Obito, who is proficient in space-time ninjutsu, and Black and White Zetsu, who are good at Wood Release, dare not act recklessly here. This ensures that no one can see through Yahiko's disguise.

At this moment, Uchiha Qiushan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked out the window, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Yahiko and others also looked over there.

"Flutter, flutter~"

With the sound of flapping wings, a black crow flew over from the rain, finally flew through the window and landed on the floor.

"Master clan leader, Uchiha Itachi is here to report."

At some point, the crows on the ground had disappeared, and Uchiha Itachi was now kneeling on one knee, speaking very respectfully.

"Itachi, you're here too, stand up and talk, how are you doing lately?"

Hearing Uchiha Qiushan's words, Uchiha Itachi stood up with a slight movement, revealing a very calm expression.

"To reply to the clan leader, everything has been fine recently. With the care of the three adults in the Akatsuki organization, it is pretty easy."

Hearing what Uchiha Itachi said, Uchiha Qiushan nodded.

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke:

"Master clan leader, I wonder how Sasuke is doing recently? Has he opened his Mangekyō Sharingan?"

There was an imperceptible sense of anxiety in Uchiha Itachi's tone.

However, Uchiha Qiushan still sensed that kind of anxiety. After hearing what Uchiha Itachi said, his brows slightly frowned.

"Sasuke has been performing well recently. His Mangekyō Sharingan has also been activated. He is now able to fight Scorpion to a draw. His strength can almost be considered at the peak of Kage level."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of smile in Uchiha Qiushan's tone.

He was very satisfied with Uchiha Sasuke. After being encouraged and taught by Uchiha Itachi, his strength had long reached the level of Kage.

Later, after his special training, and after the training of the illusion space and Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Sasuke finally opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Sasuke already had the potential to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he also had the instruction of Uchiha Kyouzan. If he still had to rely on Uchiha Itachi's sacrifice to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, then wouldn't all his teachings have been in vain?

After hearing what Uchiha Qiushan said, Uchiha Itachi's originally calm face finally showed a smile from the heart, mixed with a sense of relief.

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's expression, Uchiha Qiushan felt a strange feeling in his heart, his forehead wrinkled tightly, and he asked in a serious tone:

"Uchiha Itachi, are you hiding something from me?"

After hearing what Uchiha Qiushan said, Nagato and others nearby also looked at Uchiha Itachi with inquiring eyes, waiting for his answer.

After hearing the words of the clan leader, Uchiha Itachi hesitated slightly. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt an itchy throat. He wanted to suppress the feeling, but he couldn't do it.

Then the whole person started coughing uncontrollably.

Cough cough cough...

After coughing for a long time, Uchiha Itachi finally stopped, but when he put down his hand that was covering his mouth, there was a stain of blood on it, which was quietly wiped away by Uchiha Itachi in the next moment.

Seeing this, Uchiha Qiushan's face became completely gloomy, and finally he said in a deep voice:

"Itachi, what the hell is going on?"

At this time, Uchiha Itachi's complexion had returned to normal. After hearing the clan leader's question again, an inexplicable color flashed in his eyes, and finally he said calmly:

"To answer the question of the tribe leader, if I am not mistaken, it should be a blood disease. The blood disease in my body has broken out."

When he said this, Uchiha Itachi showed a faint smile on his face.

Blood-related disease

After hearing what Uchiha Itachi said, Uchiha Qiushan suddenly fell silent, and his temperament suddenly became gloomy, making the whole space full of depression.

As long as it is a family with a bloodline limit, it will face the threat of bloodline disease. This is a shadow that no bloodline limit family can escape.

Moreover, there is no basis for the onset of this bloodline disease. As long as you have a blood limit, you may suffer from a bloodline disease.

If there is a single basis, it is that the more outstanding the person is, the higher the incidence rate is, as if the person's life span has been transformed into his talent.

Uchiha Qiushan was silent for a long time, looking at Uchiha Itachi with a complicated look.

Before this, Uchiha Qiushan actually knew that Uchiha Itachi might suffer from a bloodline disease.

So before this, he had specifically told Uchiha Itachi not to overuse the Mangekyō Sharingan, because he suspected that in the original work, the reason why Uchiha Itachi suffered from the bloodline disease was due to excessive use of the Mangekyō Sharingan, which put too much strain on his body and caused it to collapse.

"how long it has been?"

After a long silence, Uchiha Qiushan said in a hoarse and low voice.

When Uchiha Itachi heard Uchiha Qiushan's question, a hint of gentleness flashed across his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:

"It should be about a year."

After hearing Uchiha Itachi's answer, Uchiha Qiushan asked angrily:

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? You should also be aware of the relationship between me and Tsunade. If you had told me earlier, maybe it could have been saved."

Tsunade can be said to be the number one medical ninja in the ninja world. If she takes action, Uchiha Itachi's bloodline disease may still be cured.

After hearing the words of the clan leader, Uchiha Itachi fell silent. After opening his mouth, he finally said in a low voice:

"I have looked up the clan's information. Once a blood disease breaks out, there is basically no hope of recovery. Even if Lady Tsunade takes action, she can only extend the life span by one or two years at most."

Having said that, Uchiha Itachi looked up at Uchiha Qiushan and continued:

"But I don't want to waste my life in a place like this. I want to do more for Sasuke and the Uchiha clan in my final moments."

When he finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi's face was full of relief.

"Master clan leader, this is the choice of me, Uchiha Itachi."

After hearing what Uchiha Itachi said, Uchiha Qiushan fell silent for a moment, but finally came to his side, with a green glow on his hand, and pressed it on Uchiha Itachi's body.

"Master Patriarch, how long can my body last?"

Just when Uchiha Qiushan had finished the inspection and the green light on his hand dissipated, Uchiha Itachi asked in a difficult tone.

No matter how free and easy Uchiha Itachi was, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he asked himself how long he could live.

After hearing Uchiha Itachi's question, Uchiha Qiushan was silent for a long time before saying:

"Your body is rapidly breaking down. Without any intervention, you will only last half a year at most."

Having said that, Uchiha Qiushan seemed to remember something and raised his hand slightly. After a very small wave, a palm-sized medicine bottle suddenly appeared on his palm.

"This is the medicine that Tsunade and I developed together. Although it cannot cure your blood disease, it should be able to extend your life by three months."

Having said that, Uchiha Qiushan placed the medicine bottle in his hand into Uchiha Itachi's hand.

After taking the medicine bottle, Uchiha Itachi stared at it for a long time before whispering thank you.

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi suddenly raised his head and looked at Uchiha Qiushan with a sharp gaze.

"Master clan leader, according to the agreement, Sasuke should come to seek revenge on me soon, right?"

As he said this, a smile appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face, as if his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke was not seeking revenge, but just a competition between two brothers.

After hearing what Uchiha Itachi said, Uchiha Qiushan's expression changed slightly. He was silent for a long time before continuing:

"Itachi, Sasuke has now opened his Mangekyō Sharingan. There is no need for the two of you to fight anymore. Do you still want to continue?

You should also know in your heart that if you continue to use the Mangekyō Sharingan, your blood disease will most likely become more severe and your life span will be further shortened."

When hearing Uchiha Qiushan's worried words, Uchiha Itachi's smile remained unchanged

"It's okay. I don't have many days left to live anyway. Just treat it as fulfilling your responsibilities as a brother. After all, I promised Sasuke several times before that I would train with him."

Having said that, Uchiha Itachi looked back at Uchiha Qiushan and continued:

"Master clan leader, I won't live much longer. Sasuke will be handed over to you from now on. He is an obedient child. I hope you will treat him well."

Ever since Uchiha Itachi found out that he had a blood disease, he no longer had any hope for the future and placed all his hopes on Sasuke.

After hearing what Uchiha Itachi said, Uchiha Qiushan didn't say anything else, but just nodded silently.

When Uchiha Itachi turned into a crow again and flew outside, Uchiha Qiushan looked at his receding figure and did not speak for a long time.

At this moment, a warm body suddenly approached from behind, raised its hands and held his waist.

"Don't blame yourself. None of us thought that Uchiha Itachi would have a bloodline disease, and this was his own choice."

Hearing Xiaonan's comforting words, Uchiha Qiushan turned around and gently held her in his arms.

……

Fire Country, Fire Temple

Asma looked at the corpses around him with an extremely ugly expression, especially when he saw a headless corpse lying in front of a Buddha statue, his expression became even gloomier, as if water could drip from it.

Asuma has not had an easy time in recent years because when he returned to Konoha Village, his father, the Third Hokage, had already retired to the second line.

So, when Asuma returned, he found that the whole Konoha Village had changed. Even their prosperous Sarutobi clan had started to behave honestly.

In order to change this situation, Asuma did think of ways, but his father, the Third Hokage, did not come out to support him, so even if he jumped up and down in Konoha Village, he did not get much benefit.

Especially after the Chunin Exam three years ago, the death of the Third Hokage directly led to the immediate decline of the entire Sarutobi clan.

In the following years, the Fifth Hokage broke them into pieces, and after being broken up into small pieces, they no longer had much say.

As the son of the Third Hokage, Ashima has become the object of avoidance by everyone in recent years, which has led to his many misfortunes.

And now, his only good friend Dilu died for unknown reasons, which made Asuma even more sad.
