Chapter 7 Itachi, I want to talk to you

"Uchiha Itachi, I want to talk to you."

Naruto got straight to the point and spoke directly.

Uchiha Itachi was a little surprised. Why did Naruto seem to come to him on his own initiative? He looked at Naruto and asked, "You want to talk to me?"

Naruto nodded and said, "If you didn't want to talk to me, why did you come to me on your own initiative?"

Uchiha Itachi frowned.

That's right, he did come to find Naruto. Even just now, he was still searching for Naruto's chakra traces, but in the end, Naruto found him first.

Besides, how did this guy Naruto know? I wanted to talk to him.

He asked in confusion: "What do you want to talk to me about, and how did you know that I was looking for you."

Naruto looked at Uchiha Itachi, the man who, in order to protect Konoha and his brother Sasuke, even slaughtered his own clan with his own hands, bore countless infamy and lurked in the Akatsuki organization.

It's not easy.

After becoming Hokage, Naruto realized that Itachi was actually a victim in the power struggle and he had done a really good job.

Even before the duel with his brother, he came to me in advance and made arrangements again to ensure Sasuke's safety and that Konoha would not be destroyed.

Just for this reason, Naruto wanted to try to change him.

He looked at Uchiha Itachi and said, "Itachi, I admire you very much, really. I, Naruto, will not mince words. I want to advise you to give up the duel with Sasuke and live well. In the future, I will help you change."

Uchiha Itachi was a little shocked that Naruto actually admired him.

Looking at Uchiha Itachi's expression, Naruto spoke again: "I already know the truth about the Uchiha clan being massacred; and, you came here this time just to see how I treat Sasuke."

Naruto spoke calmly, but to Uchiha Itachi, it sounded incredible.

Even Uchiha Itachi's eyes moved slightly, and his Sharingan directly transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Itachi was so surprised that Naruto had completely told him everything he was thinking.

For a moment, because he was unsure of Naruto's position, Uchiha Itachi even had the urge to kill Naruto.

However, the murderous intent was fleeting.

Naruto smiled slightly, Itachi's reaction was reasonable. After all, if it were anyone else, they would either kill him or be scared away.

But Itachi completed the emotional transformation in just a few seconds.

He is indeed a rare genius in Konoha!

After calming down, Uchiha Itachi smiled bitterly and said, "Naruto, you are beyond my expectation. Also, since you know why I came to you, I want to hear your answer."

Naruto looked at Uchiha Itachi and answered sincerely: "Sasuke is my lifelong brother. No matter what, even if Sasuke attacks Konoha, I will protect Sasuke. Moreover, I am confident that I can make Sasuke return to the right path."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Naruto, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued to ask: "Are you so confident? What if Sasuke insists on attacking Konoha?"

Naruto replied: "I promise you, Naruto, I swear on my life that I will let Sasuke return to Konoha in the near future."

Uchiha Itachi smiled because he had gotten the answer he wanted.

As long as Naruto treats Sasuke with this attitude, he doesn't care what method he uses.

Because he has other gods to back him up.

Seeing Uchiha Itachi smile, Naruto knew that he believed it just like in his previous life, so Naruto continued to ask: "What is your response to my suggestion?"

Uchiha Itachi pondered for a few seconds and replied: "Sorry, Naruto, I can't promise you, I still have to fight Sasuke."

Naruto said excitedly: "Why must you die? Why don't you choose to tell Sasuke the truth? You know, Sasuke has only you as a relative in this world!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Naruto and said, "I am a sinner. From the moment I slaughtered the Uchiha clan with my own hands, I was destined to die! Otherwise, if I don't die, the stain of the Uchiha clan will exist forever. Someone with ulterior motives will use this to sow discord among the major clans of Konoha, which will be detrimental to the stability of the village."

Naruto's eyes dimmed as he said, "So, you decided to die at the hands of your own brother. On the one hand, the culprit of the Uchiha clan case will be killed, which will make Sasuke a hero of Konoha; on the other hand, dying at the hands of your brother will also bring you inner redemption; right, Itachi?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Naruto as if he saw another himself.

Why does he understand himself so well?
