Chapter 183 The truth is revealed! The beginning of Uchiha Kanon's despair!!

......

After Obito finished telling the history of the Senju and Uchiha, he began to explain Itachi's actions to Sasuke and Kanon.

"During the Nine-Tails attack sixteen years ago, the Uchiha came under unwarranted suspicion."

"Perhaps the charge of attempted treason was pinned on the Uchiha. Since then, the Uchiha has been under the thorough surveillance of the Anbu."

"The Uchiha clan's residence has been moved to a corner on the edge of the village, tantamount to isolation."

"Their suspicions grew into resentment, and suspicions gradually became reality."

"The Uchiha began attempting a coup in order to seize the village."

"And the upper echelons of Konoha sent a spy into the Uchiha clan. That spy was your eldest brother, Uchiha Itachi."

"Itachi's hell begins from now on..."

Kanon's eyes trembled, she was a little confused; "Uchiha attempted a coup, Itachi is a spy? Are you kidding me!"

"Kane, you were less than six years old at that time and you had no idea at all."

"But what I said is true."

"Your father, Uchiha Fugaku, is the mastermind behind the coup."

"Itachi was originally a spy planted in the Anbu by his father's orders, but contrary to what he did, Itachi leaked the Uchiha's information to the village."

"That's what's commonly known as a double agent."

"That's a huge burden. You and your sister can't even imagine it."

Hanane felt something was wrong, and a pain seemed to come from her heart again. This was so strange, why, why was it like this.

Everything that happened in the past two days has shattered her three views and everything she cares about.

She was like an empty shell without a soul, looking at her brother Sasuke helplessly.

But Sasuke was in no mood to care about his sister at this moment. He himself was dumbfounded: "Why, why did Itachi betray Uchiha!"

The masked man nodded slightly and explained to the stunned brother and sister.

"If you haven't experienced war, you may not understand."

"During the Third Shinobi World War."

"Itachi witnessed too many deaths at the age of four."

"He experienced war at a very young age, and war is hell."

"This psychological shadow made Itachi grow up to be a man who doesn't like fighting and loves peace."

"He became a man who put the stability of the village first and fought for peace."

"A ninja who loves his village and is not bound by the shackles of his family."

"The village's higher-ups took advantage of him."

"Itachi was given a top-secret mission by the top brass, an eye for an eye. He will need the Sharingan to deal with the Uchiha."

"Yes, the mission is..."

"The one who wiped out everyone in the Uchiha clan, including his favorite sister, that's you, Uchiha Kanon."

Sasuke lowered his head, bit his lower lip, and watched with reluctance, his pupils shrunk to the extreme, with tears in the corners of his eyes. It turned out that on the night of the genocide, his sister Kanon had suffered so much.

The masked man continued, "How he felt at the time is beyond others' imagination."

"Itachi is faced with a terrible choice. Normally, attacking his own siblings and sister is an impossible choice."

"But if a powerful clan like the Uchiha starts a civil war, both Konoha Village and the Land of Fire will be shaken severely."

"Other countries will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and it might even become the fuse for the Fourth Shinobi World War."

"The Uchiha clan's selfish thoughts will implicate people who have nothing to do with the ninja world."

"Many more people are going to die. If you were Itachi, what would you do?"

Facing the masked man's question, Kanon lowered her head and Sasuke gritted her teeth.

"So Itachi decided to draw the curtain on Uchiha history with his own hands."

"He didn't betray because he hated the Uchiha, he had no choice."

"It's the result of the discrimination and discord that has existed since Konoha was founded."

"Itachi made the decision to sacrifice himself and shoulder everything alone."

"In fact, I was also waiting for an opportunity for war, because I had a grudge against both Konoha and Uchiha of the Senju, but Itachi even discovered my spying."

"He was the only one who noticed me. Itachi contacted me and offered me two conditions."

Hearing this, Hanane's pupils suddenly shrank, and this time, her expression was filled with despair and pain.

Sasuke didn't understand why Kanon had such a desperate expression.

Looking at Kanon's trembling body, unable to support herself and collapsing on the bed, the masked man nodded slightly.

"Yes, it seems you already know one of the conditions."

"Uchiha Itachi will help me take revenge on the Uchiha clan. The first condition is that he cannot attack the village."

"The second condition is that you don't want to kill your own sister with your own hands, so you ask me to kill you, Uchiha Kanon."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sasuke's pupils suddenly shrank. Looking at Kanon's expression twisted with despair, Sasuke felt like a tsunami surging through his heart.

"At that time, only the Sandaime Hokage was still looking for other ways, trying to negotiate with the Uchiha and seek a way to reconcile."

"But because of time constraints, he failed, and the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha has become irreconcilable."

“So that night happened.”

"That was a mission. As a criminal who killed a member of the clan, I was stigmatized as a traitor. All of this was a mission."

"Itachi successfully completed the mission, except for one minor failure."

"He was able to entrust his sister to me to kill, but he couldn't do it to his own brother."

When these words came out, Kanon and Sasuke were struck by lightning. The two siblings looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

"He missed you the most, Sasuke, and even gave up Kanon."

"But he can't tell you the truth."

"So that's all he could say..."

Sasuke recalled what happened on the night of the genocide and why Uchiha Itachi shed tears at the last moment. If what the masked man in front of him said was true, then everything would fit together.

"He hopes to make you stronger by giving you the goal of revenge against him."

"Sasuke, he also hopes that you will always regard the Uchiha as a noble clan of Konoha Village."

"He asked the Hokage to never let you know the truth."

"When he left the village, he had already decided to die in a duel with you."

"In order to give you new power when the time comes, this is Itachi's truth."

Sasuke's face was filled with fear and devastation, and so was Kanon, but Kanon said nothing.

"It's a lie, it's all a lie!"

"You must be lying to me!"

"That's nonsense! He nearly killed me several times!"

As a result, the masked man blew Sasuke back from imagination to reality with just one sentence.

"If Itachi really wanted to take your life, you would have died long ago."

"Asshole, he even used the Mangekyō Sharingan's eye technique to kill me!"

"How can you say that?!"

Listening to Sasuke's words, the masked man just said indifferently: "Even your response was within his expectations."

"Itachi had to force you in that battle."

"You should have noticed the reason."

"What about me..." Kanon, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"In the duel with me, he used all his strength from the beginning..."

The masked man stood up at this moment, stroked Kanon's cheek, and untied her.

"Because you were the one he abandoned from the beginning to the end."

"Only by killing you as an unexpected factor can he feel at ease to let Sasuke go forward into his plan."

"So he wanted to kill you. He wanted to kill you from the beginning to the end. Even when he fought with you, he wanted to kill you."

"Uchiha Kanon, you shouldn't have survived. It was me who let you survive."

"Otherwise, you would have been dead by then."

After being untied, Kanon never raised her head again. She collapsed on the side of the bed in despair and powerlessness.

Sasuke wanted to comfort his sister and also felt sorry for Kanon. Why did Itachi choose him instead of Kanon? !

The masked man looked at Kanon's desperate expression, raised the corners of his mouth slightly inside the mask, and turned to look at Sasuke.

"Itachi fought to free you from the curse, and the death of the person closest to you. It was also a battle to open your Mangekyo eyes."

"He was fighting a life-and-death battle with Kanon the day before and almost died. But he dragged his terminally ill body and strong willpower to fight you the next day."

"I played the scene of trying to take your eyes to the end."

Looking at Kanon lying on her back on the bed, staring at the ceiling in despair and Sasuke sitting there without saying a word, the masked man chuckled:

"It seems like you are all beginning to understand."
