Chapter 471 Death of Itachi

...

The rain has been falling.

Salty, tastes like the sea.

I don't know how long it rained, I only know that the water on the ground gathered into roaring waves, splashing on the cracks in the rocks and the rock slabs. The bright red bloodstains were thick at first, but gradually faded under the washing of the rain, and finally became clear and transparent.

Uchiha Sasuke leaned against the broken stone wall, looking disheveled and breathing heavily.

The cold rain hit his body mercilessly, but he seemed unaware and stared straight ahead.

There, the figure that had woken him up countless times in his dreams was lying there, pale and lifeless.

Itachi Uchiha, the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan and the perpetrator of the Uchiha clan's genocide, is dead.

The gradually cooling corpse lay on the ground, letting the cold rain wash over it. Although his expression was still calm, it was not handsome at all. It seemed that he was no different from a dead Genin. Except for the horrific traces of broken walls and ruins around him, it proved the fierceness of the previous battle.

Itachi Uchiha is dead.

This is something Uchiha Sasuke has been longing for for more than ten years.

Now, his wish has come true, but he is not satisfied.

The dark emptiness and coldness in my heart remained the same, not filled by the pleasure of killing the enemy.

why?

Is it because the missing piece in my heart can never be restored? Or is it because of the words the other person said before he died?

[Forgive me, Sasuke. This is the last time.]

Itachi Uchiha's 'weird' smile before his death, the finger that made him tremble, gently tapped his forehead, the beautiful memory that he had forgotten for many years, brought him great pain in an instant.

why!

Why did that ridiculous scene just now happen?!

Just like that bloody night, you brought me heart-wrenching pain and shed crocodile tears.

"Bang!" The fist hit the hard bluestone hard.

There was a stinging pain on the hand without chakra protection, and spots of crimson spread out.

Uchiha Sasuke tried to use the pain to wake himself up, but it was in vain.

"The enemy is dead."

"What's wrong? Haven't you had enough fun, so you want to hit some stones?" A voice came from the side.

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head and looked at the weird one-eyed mask, his eyes dark and murderous.

"Tell me what you know."

Obito chuckled: "Tell you?"

"What do you want to know?"

Uchiha Sasuke said in a cold tone: "I don't have the time, nor the interest to talk nonsense with you."

"Since you're helping me, it means you need me."

"If you want to achieve your goal, give me the answer first."

"You know the answer about Uchiha."

Obito narrowed his eyes slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright."

"I intend to treat you as a friend, don't be so serious. Since you said so, I will tell you all the information about the Uchiha."

Then, Obito stood beside Uchiha Sasuke and told him everything he 'knew' bit by bit.

Ninety percent of what he said was true.

Konoha's fear of the Uchiha clan.

The subtle suppression of the Uchiha clan began with the second generation leader Senju Tobirama.

The end of Uchiha Shisui, the choice of Uchiha Itachi, the oppression of Danzo, and finally, in the inevitable conflict, Uchiha Itachi made a painful choice.

He recounted the entire story, his voice calm and emotionless, but Uchiha Sasuke's grip tightened. The rain washed over his whitened joints, turning a faint crimson.

"No wonder."

"No wonder."

No wonder Itachi cried back then. All of this, everything, was Konoha's fault! It was all those short-sighted high-ups and incompetent elders!

Strong emotions hit Uchiha Sasuke's mind, making his eyes red.

He suppressed his anger and asked Obito a question.

"Are you sure that the Nine-Tails Rebellion had nothing to do with the Uchiha?"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with you." Obito answered firmly.

To control the Nine-Tails, one needs the Mangekyō Sharingan. The Uchiha clan didn't have the Mangekyō Sharingan back then. If Itachi had the Mangekyō Sharingan, he wouldn't have been able to wipe out the entire clan by himself.

"All this is Konoha's conspiracy!" Obito swore.

Uchiha Sasuke narrowed his eyes: "How do you explain the rumor about the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes?"

"Uh..." Obito's confident expression shattered: "Well... who knows..."

“I’m not a know-it-all.”

"You can ask about this kind of thing later."

"Let's talk about something else." Obito changed the subject abruptly: "What are you going to do next?"

"Should we destroy Konoha?"

"After all, if it weren't for them, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have nearly been destroyed."

"If you want to destroy Konoha, I will definitely support you with all my strength!"

Uchiha Sasuke closed his eyes.

He weighed the whole situation and Obito's words in his mind.

Some people cannot be trusted completely, and some things cannot be dealt with impulsively.

Besides, can Konoha be destroyed just like that?

Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, Ino-Shika-Chou Hyuga, two of the Three Ninjas... not to mention Suzumiya Musashi.

Even if he was blinded by hatred, he didn't think his current strength could really overthrow Konoha. Even with the Mangekyō Sharingan, it wouldn't work.

He whispered in his heart the words that Suzumiya Musashi had asked Uzumaki Karin to give him.

[No matter how powerful the Sharingan is, there are things it cannot see clearly.]

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

"We'll talk about how to treat Konoha later."

Obito was startled: "Let's talk about it later?"

"So what are you going to do now?"

Uchiha Sasuke held on to the wall and stood up in the rain. He looked far towards the direction of the Land of Fire.

"Compared to Konoha, there is someone who deserves to die even more."

Danzo!

What is certain about what happened back then is that the top management must have been involved or condoned it, which led to Uchiha Itachi killing all of his own people.

Who were the top executives at the time?

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mito Kado En.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has passed away. Among the remaining three people, the one who definitely cannot escape responsibility is undoubtedly Danzo!

"It's time for us to set off." Uchiha Sasuke turned around and looked at the three figures in the distance.

The tall young man, Shigego, seemed relieved. "Great! We're finally leaving. It's so wet here, I don't like it at all."

Shuideng Manyue, with a mouth full of shark teeth, frowned: "Hey! You obviously don't know how to enjoy yourself, okay? It's such a nice weather here."

Honglian, a mature woman with a slightly flamboyant hairstyle, stared at Uchiha Sasuke and said, "Let's go quickly."

"Hurry up and finish your work. You promised me that after you finish your work, you will give me a chance to kill you."

Uchiha Sasuke said nothing and turned to leave. Behind him, Obito stretched his neck and yelled, "Hey, hey!"

"Just leave like that?"

"Don't you want your elder brother's body anymore?"

"And the eyes? Shall I put them on for you now?"

Uchiha Sasuke paused.

Of course he wanted the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Itachi's words before his death were like a new nightmare, making him unable to face those eyes.

"I'll leave it with you until I'm done."
