Chapter 171
The dead body was buried in the grave.
In the Uchiha clan, young Sasuke ran home crying. On both sides of the street, countless bodies fell to the ground.
Some died with their eyes wide open, some died peacefully, and some held their loved ones tightly, but without exception, they had all lost their breath at this moment.
Everyone stood beside young Sasuke, except for Yuyi and Kurama, everyone looked stunned. Kushina gritted her teeth in her arms, and her eyes had unconsciously turned into Sharingan.
He looked at the young him, just like looking at an enemy, hatred, anger... and powerlessness.
Kushina subconsciously hugged Sasuke, and comforted Sasuke's heart on the verge of collapse with her tenderness. Seeing this scene again, how could his heart not collapse?
But with Kushina's comfort, Sasuke did not explode directly, but took a deep breath. Although his hands were still clenched, at least on the surface, he had gradually calmed down.
Following the footsteps of young Sasuke, Sasuke also slowly spoke at this moment: "I will never forget that day. On the way home from school, I found that everyone I knew was dead. They were lying in a pool of blood, and their faces were full of shock and anger."
"I was very scared at that time, but I had to find my parents. I wanted to know what happened."
Sasuke raised his head and looked at his young self who was still running. The calmness on his face turned cold: "But what I saw was my parents who also fell in a pool of blood, and the person who killed them was that guy..."
Sasuke raised his head and looked forward. It was the mansion of the clan leader. In it, a bloody figure leaned against the shadow.
As the young Sasuke entered the room, the scene in front of her shocked Kushina again. She opened her mouth wide with an expression of disbelief: "Itachi? How could it be Itachi?"
She thought of countless possibilities, and even thought that Konoha would kill the Uchiha clan, but she could never imagine that the person who slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan was actually that Itachi? The Itachi who was gentle and liked to eat sweets?
How could it be possible!
Minato next to him showed a trace of thought, and the scene in front of him seemed to remind him of something.
At the end of the picture, Itachi said that he wanted to test his own capacity, and used Tsukuyomi to imprint the process of his slaughtering Uchiha in Sasuke's mind.
In the end, Sasuke fainted and Itachi left.
The story seemed to end here.
Sasuke lowered his head in silence, not knowing what he was thinking. Kushina looked at Sasuke with heartache, and held Sasuke in her arms with great pity: "It's okay, Sasuke, it's okay..."
Kushina's words of "it's okay" did not mean that it didn't matter if Sasuke's family died, but to tell Sasuke that what he saw now was just an illusion, not real, so it was more important to calm his heart.
She would not persuade Sasuke to let go of his hatred, because even she still hated the people who massacred the Uzushio Village. Her experience with Sasuke was somewhat similar but completely different. She hated the people who massacred the Uzushio Village, and Sasuke hated... his brother.
Yuyi looked at this scene, was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "What you see now is what Uchiha Itachi wants you to see, and what I will project from your mind next is what he left but didn't want you to see."
"Do you still want to see it?"
Sasuke raised his head suddenly, and the Sharingan in his eyes was extremely dazzling: "Please!"
Naruto let go of Minato's hand, walked slowly to Sasuke, and said with worry: "Sasuke..."
"I'm fine, Naruto." Sasuke shook his head, and his face showed self-mockery, "Even if I dodge, what can I do? These things have already happened. What I have to do now is to take revenge on that guy!"
Naruto hesitated for a moment, did not speak, but nodded to show that he understood.
Yuyi looked at this scene, sighed with Jiu Lama next to him, and then waved his right hand, and the picture darkened again.
As the light and shadow began to flow, the colorful colors returned to everyone's eyes again.
This time the story is a normal one. A genius little boy was born in the Uchiha clan. He never understood the meaning of life. He saved the enemy on the battlefield without knowing it. Then he was attacked by the enemy after he found out that he was a Konoha ninja. Finally, he killed the ninja very simply.
Just like irony, Itachi's story is always full of contradictions.
He loves his younger brother, but because of his talent, his younger brother feels unfair. He loves
His family, but he watched the people he loved want to start a civil war to attack his beloved village.
He discussed with his friends and wanted to make the world peaceful, even at the cost of his life, but what he got was betrayal, just because his last name was Uchiha.
When he saw his beloved family wanting to start a civil war, when he saw his father being silent, when he saw his and his friends' sincerity being betrayed, when he saw his friends using their lives to make it clear...
But the final result was that his efforts were completely in vain, and his friend's death was meaningless.
Why?
He didn't understand, and when he was confused, someone came to him, a person who called himself Uchiha Madara, and told him that the Uchiha was a corrupt clan.
When he wanted to refuse, another person came to him, the Third Hokage of the Village, hoping that he could end the civil strife in the village, because the village could no longer withstand the twists and turns.
At that time, Konoha lost Hatake Sakumo, lost the three ninjas, lost the fourth Hokage, and even lost the tailed beast Jinchuriki. It can be said that Konoha at that time was the weakest Konoha in history, and the third Hokage did not want to engage in civil war at that time.
Itachi, who tried every means to stop the Uchiha coup, thought of the man who called himself Uchiha Madara, and he hesitated.
Facing the request made by the third generation, he only wanted one thing, that is, to ask the third generation to let him protect the name of Uchiha and let the third generation protect the young Sasuke.
The third generation agreed.
That night was the bloody night of Uchiha.
Everyone looked at Itachi, who was crying in front of his parents. Everyone opened their mouths. Everyone looked at the boy stupidly, and watched his parents say that sentence...
"Don't hesitate. Compared to you, our pain is only a moment."
"Even if we think differently, we are still proud of you."
"Itachi, you are such a kind child."
The picture suddenly flashed, and what appeared in front of everyone again was the young Sasuke pushing open the door and coming to Itachi.
Watching this boy who was less than 20 years old kill his beloved with his own hands, watching Itachi pretend to be cold in front of his favorite brother, watching Itachi kneeling in front of the third generation and asking the third generation to protect Sasuke...
Scenes and pictures unfolded in front of everyone and then dissipated, and finally condensed into a picture that no one expected.
The illusion ended...
The first person to speak was Minato. He lowered his head and looked at the water, where his own appearance was reflected: "Compared to Itachi, what I did... can only be regarded as selfish."
He was very similar to Itachi. They both gave up everything for the people they loved and accumulated all the karma for the village.
But Naruto had to bear the karma accumulated by Minato, and Itachi... at this moment, he was still carrying the name of "traitor" and guarding Konoha amid countless abuses.
"Why?" Sasuke took two steps back in disbelief. His eyes, which had decided not to cry, shed two lines of hot tears again, "Why! Itachi! There is a better way, isn't there! You can obviously not do this, right!"
Sasuke went crazy, looking at the scene in front of him hysterically, his Sharingan kept turning, and the black curse seal covered his body: "Things like Konoha! That kind of village! That kind of place..."
"Sasuke!" Naruto roared.
Sasuke's voice became smaller and smaller.
The black curse seal stopped, and tears flowed from his eyes, never stopping.
Sasuke looked at Naruto, his eyes full of confusion: "Naruto, tell me, why? Why must you launch a coup? Why must you go to that extent? Why... why even after seeing such a Itachi, I actually... still can't hate Konoha?"
"Why? Naruto!"
"Please... tell me..."
