Chapter 108 Itachi Uchiha's Departure
Chapter 108 Itachi Uchiha's Departure
Sasuke awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan as he had hoped, but died in Konoha. It was his fault; he was too arrogant. He should have stayed by Sasuke's side all along...
Why did he assume that Sasuke was not in immediate danger? Why was he so arrogant...?
Just as Itachi was immersed in deep pain and regret, an important point that he had overlooked suddenly surfaced amidst the turmoil of his painful thoughts.
Why did Sasuke suddenly awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?
Thinking about this question, Itachi Uchiha suddenly paused.
According to his original plan, when he died at Sasuke's hands, Sasuke's talent would surely allow him to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Sasuke would naturally obtain his own pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.
With two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke would be able to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which is no less powerful than that of Madara Uchiha.
But now, Sasuke has obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan ahead of schedule? Why?
When this question arose, Itachi Uchiha's completely broken mind was finally able to regain some rationality and began to think instinctively.
What happened to Sasuke that led him to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan?
After obtaining the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, why didn't Sasuke come to seek revenge immediately, but instead went to Konoha?
After going to Konoha, why did Sasuke insist on self-destructing?
According to his understanding, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, had a close relationship with Naruto Uzumaki, and her student Sakura Haruno was also Sasuke's former classmate. Kakashi Hatake also took good care of Sasuke, in addition to Kakashi's own connection with the Uchiha clan...
Even if Sasuke did something, Konoha shouldn't have gone so far as to kill him, considering the Sharingan and the presence of Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi.
After regaining some composure, more and more doubts began to surface in my mind.
He raised his hand to his forehead, his black hair unusually disheveled as it slipped through his fingers. Itachi's mind raced, trying to connect all the doubts and clues.
Awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan requires strong emotional stimulation. What happened that triggered Sasuke's emotional response?
After awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke returned to Konoha...
Back to Konoha?!
Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened suddenly. Could it be that Sasuke actually knew the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre?!
This was the answer Itachi Uchiha least wanted, but it seemed that only this answer could explain all the doubts.
Sasuke learned the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre and developed a hatred for Konoha because of it, which is why he returned to Konoha to seek revenge after gaining new power.
But how did Sasuke learn the truth?
Itachi immediately thought of Mavis, who was traveling from Amegakure to Otogakure.
The only flaw in his plan was letting Mavis learn the truth about the Uchiha clan.
But he had clearly used Shisui's Sharingan, the strongest genjutsu Kotoamatsukami, to hypnotize Mavis.
Could it be that Mavis's mental power is so strong that even Kotoamatsukami is rendered ineffective?!
Itachi Uchiha was shocked, but even more than shocked, he felt deep regret.
Sasuke must have learned the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre from Mavis before he went to Konoha!
It's all his fault...
Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth. He was too arrogant and had too much faith in the power of Kotoamatsukami. It was his arrogance, which made him think he could control everything, that led to Sasuke's downfall!
The extreme pain and regret had completely shattered Itachi Uchiha's composure and arrogance. Blood tears slid from Itachi's eyes, the dark bloodstains contrasting sharply with Itachi's pale, paper-like complexion.
All night long, Itachi Uchiha sat motionless against the door. If it weren't for the sound of his breathing, he would have looked no different from a dead man.
As the outside world began to brighten, Itachi Uchiha's fingertips trembled slightly, and his body, like a machine that had just stalled, slowly began to move again.
He stood up unsteadily, his eyes vacant. He took the few belongings he had in the room, turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Sasuke is dead. All his original plans have become meaningless, and he has no reason to live anymore.
The only thing he wanted to do before he died was to go to the Sound Village and ask Mavis in person why she told Sasuke the truth if she considered him a friend, and why she let him go to his death after telling him the truth.
Also, did Sasuke leave any last words...?
Clinging to this last shred of belief, Itachi Uchiha headed towards the exit of Amegakure.
At the exit of Amegakure, a figure in a black robe with red accents stood silently. Itachi Uchiha calmly looked up and said, "Are you going to stop me, Kisame?"
Waiting at the exit was none other than Kisame Hoshigaki, Itachi Uchiha's partner.
There was no longer any need, nor any extra energy, to continue pretending. Itachi Uchiha stared blankly at Kisame, the tomoe slowly rotating in his crimson Sharingan eyes. Now, no one could stop him.
Seeing the chilling and lifeless look in Itachi's eyes, Kisame tightened his grip on Samehada, but ultimately withdrew it, slightly stepping aside to make way.
"Thank you, Kisame," Itachi said calmly as he passed by Kisame.
Kisame grinned and shrugged. "After all, partnering with Itachi-san is quite enjoyable. Besides, even if I tried to stop you, I might not be able to, Hehe."
Uchiha Itachi did not answer again, but simply walked away from Amegakure step by step.
Not far away, a half-black, half-white creature emerged from the ground.
"Are we just going to let Itachi go like that?" The white-haired half asked, its voice rising slightly.
The black half was much more composed. It watched Itachi Uchiha's figure gradually disappear into the distance, narrowed its eyes slightly, and finally said, "Sasuke Uchiha is dead, and Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan is no longer necessary. Moreover, he is not an easy opponent to deal with."
The one that emerged from the ground was none other than Jue.
If we're talking about who in the ninja world, besides Itachi Uchiha and his comrades from Konoha, regrets Sasuke's death the most, it would definitely be Black Zetsu.
Although Madara Uchiha was the best candidate for the Eye of the Moon Plan, Black Zetsu had also been keeping an eye on the brothers Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.
Given the brothers' talent and their past grievances, creating another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan would have been a natural progression. But now, Uchiha Sasuke has died so easily?!
And he actually died by self-destruction.
When Black Zetsu found out this news, he was practically exploding with rage.
"No, I knew the Uchiha clan had mental problems, but I didn't know they were this mentally ill!!" Black Zetsu thought in disbelief.
Even Obito wouldn't dare to say he would directly confront Konoha, one of the five great ninja villages.
Uchiha Sasuke only just awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and he thinks he's all-powerful?!
Who does he think he is? Madara Uchiha?!
A rare Mangekyou Sharingan!! Combined with Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, it's practically an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!!
Add in Hashirama cells, and round it up, who knows, it might just be the next pair of Rinnegan!!!
Black Zetsu is going crazy! If he had known Sasuke was so brainless, he should have stayed by Sasuke's side and kept an eye on him all the time!
After a long period of struggle, Black Zetsu finally accepted the fact.
