Chapter 168 Shisui's suicide note

Itachi raised his eyelids and said, "Sasuke. After going to the toilet, go to bed quickly."

Mikoto and Fugaku were shocked.

Sasuke opened the sliding door and said "hmm".

Fugaku stood up and scolded: [What are you running around for so late at night? Go to sleep!]

【yes……】

Sasuke and Itachi sat together, and between them was Sasuke's report card with perfect marks.

[Dad always only pays attention to my brother...]

Itachi raised his head and asked with a smile: [Am I annoying? ]

[It doesn't matter. Ninjas are meant to live in a state of being hated by others.]

Sasuke hurriedly explained: [That's not what I meant! ]

Then, he lowered his eyes again and said dejectedly: [Brother is right. I also think that brother...]

Itachi chuckled and continued: [He is a very good person.]

[As long as you have power, you will be isolated from the crowd and become arrogant. Even if you are expected and needed by others at the beginning.]

[However, you and I are unique brothers. As the barrier you should cross, I will always be with you, even if you hate me. ]

【This is what is called a brother. 】

Ninja World

"Tsk. Don't tell me, he actually did it. What a twisted theory! How can there be such a brother!"

"This good brother image is really well acted! He even speaks softly."

"If I didn't know the truth, I would have thought he was a very gentle person, but now, I just think he is perverted and extreme! And very hypocritical! He is a guy with an extremely dark heart!"

"Haha. He is indeed excellent. A normal person would not do such a thing as slaughtering his own clan, killing his own parents, and showing his own brother the video of his parents being killed for 24 hours."

"Guys like Uchiha Itachi, who have dangerous and extreme ideas, should be killed by the five major nations together, otherwise such people will definitely bring trouble to the ninja world!"

Next scene

Uchiha Tetsuka, Inahime, and Yasiro came to question Itachi.

Uchiha Inahiro asked gloomily: [Two people did not attend yesterday's meeting. Why didn't you come? ]

Sasuke lay on the door, looking at them.

"My brother didn't attend the meeting that my father mentioned."

"I know that after you joined the Anbu, you had to go out and deal with some troublesome things. Your father often used this reason to smooth things over for you, but we don't want to treat you specially. 】

Itachi said calmly: [I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future. Everyone please go back.]

Uchiha Yashiro said: [Yes, but I have something else to ask you. ]

[Last night, regarding Uchiha Shisui who committed suicide by jumping into the Nanga River, another person who did not come to the meeting was Shisui. You seemed to admire Shisui as if he were your own brother.]

Itachi closed his eyes to hide his emotions: [Really? I haven't seen him at all recently, what a pity.]

Uchiha Inahiro stared at Itachi and said: [Our police force has decided to conduct a full-scale search.]

【search?】

Uchiha Yashiro handed over Shisui's suicide note: [This is Shisui's suicide note. The handwriting has been identified. There is no doubt that he wrote it himself. ]

Itachi took the suicide note and asked: [Since it wasn't murder, why search? ]

[If you are someone who can use the Sharingan, copying handwriting is a piece of cake. ]

[He is a great master of the Uchiha family, a terrifying existence known as 'Instant Body Shisui', a person who can stand up in any mission for the sake of the clan. It is hard to imagine that such a person would leave such a thing behind and commit suicide.]

Itachi opened the suicide note and saw that it read: "I am exhausted from the mission. There is no future for the Uchiha clan if this continues. At the same time, I can no longer live in such a rebellious way."

Itachi said: [It is best not to judge based on appearance. ]

[Anyway, I'll leave this suicide note to you for safekeeping. Take it and ask the Anbu to assist in the search.]

【I see. 】

After hearing Itachi's words, the three of them walked out of the house.

Uchiha Inahiro turned to Itachi and said, "In addition, we will also conduct investigations in a different direction from the Anbu, so if you don't propose an investigation, we will know about it."

Itachi clenched the suicide note in his hand.

The meaning of this statement couldn't be more obvious.

Three magatama appeared in Itachi's eyes, and he stared at the three people with a gloomy face and said: [Are you doubting me? ]

Uchiha Inahiro also said gloomily: [Ah, yes. Brat.]

Uchiha Yashiro shouted angrily: [Listen carefully Itachi! If you dare to betray our clan, we will never let you go! ]

Itachi rushed directly towards the three men, and after a few "ping pong" sounds, the three Uchiha men were knocked to the ground by him.

[I just said that it is best not to judge by appearance and imagination. If you think I am very patient and keep talking about it with such an attitude, then you have really overestimated your own abilities. It is because you do not know my abilities that you are lying on the ground like this.]

Uchiha Yashiro forced himself to stand up and said, "Shisui has been monitoring you for half a year. You have been in the Anbu for half a year. Your strange words and deeds are simply unbearable. What on earth are you thinking?"

Itachi stared at him with a frown and said: [Being attached to the organization, being attached to the clan, being attached to the name, these are all terrible things that restrict oneself and limit one's abilities.]

[Also, it is extremely foolish to fear and hate something you have never seen or known! ]

At this time, Fugaku arrived and shouted: [Stop! Itachi! ]

[What on earth is going on? Itachi! You've been acting a little weird lately!]

Itachi said calmly: [Nothing strange, I just completed my mission, that's all.]

【Then why didn't you come last night? 】

[In order to get closer to the peak. ]

【What did you say? 】

Itachi pulled out a kunai and threw it at the clan emblem on the wall.

Fugaku narrowed his eyes.

[I have run out of hope for this boring tribe.]

Sasuke stared at the scene in a daze.

He recalled Itachi's explanation to him when he carried him on his back and passed by the police headquarters and saw the ping-pong racket with the Uchiha family crest on it.

"Since ancient times, our Uchiha clan has been responsible for protecting the village's security. The Uchiha family crest is proof of this supreme honor."

But now...

Itachi said to the four people: [It is because you are too obsessed with such trivial things as your clan that you miss important things. Real change cannot be confined to the boundaries of norms, premonitions or imagination. ]

Ninja World

"I admit that people who don't limit themselves to their family are great, but this definitely does not include Uchiha Itachi who said this!"

"I have a certain understanding of Uchiha Itachi. He is simply an extreme lunatic!"

"I found a problem... When Uchiha Itachi was carrying Sasuke on his back, the two of them looked the same as they do now on the screen, which means that not much time has passed. That is, in this short period of time, Uchiha Itachi experienced a major event that changed his philosophy, so he went to extremes and committed evil, and destroyed his own family with his own hands. Before that, when he was explaining the Uchiha family crest to Sasuke, it was obvious that he was also proud of the Uchiha clan."
