Shocking: The Truth Behind the Massacre

During the time that Shinki first entered the Uchiha Base and communicated with Uchiha Itachi, Itachi told him many things.

For example, on the night of the massacre, he was merely an executor, not the decision-maker behind the scenes.

Since the Nine-Tails' Attack, Konoha has gradually distanced itself from the Uchiha Clan.

Because it is common knowledge in the Shinobi World that only the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan possesses the power to control Tailed Beasts.

Finally, the proud Uchiha Clan, unable to endure years of exclusion, decided to launch a rebellion.

Itachi's thinking differed from that of other Uchiha Clan; he had experienced the Third Ninja World War and knew the horrors of war firsthand.

Given the circumstances at the time, if the Uchiha Clan had launched a rebellion, causing Konoha to fall apart, and with other Ninja Villages eyeing the area with hostility, it could very well have become the trigger for the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Therefore, he accepted Danzo's mission: to kill the Uchiha clan, stop the rebellion, and ensure Sasuke's survival!

From that moment on, Itachi planted the seeds of hatred in Sasuke's heart, driving Sasuke to constantly strive to surpass and kill him.

Finally, let Sasuke kill him with his own hands, and awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan in a state of extreme emotion.

He knew that the Mangekyō Sharingan would eventually lead to blindness.

He had even planned to transplant his eyes to Sasuke after his death, to help him awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan...

Actually, the person Itachi initially chose to help Sasuke transplant his eyes was not Shinki.

It was Madara, who helped him exterminate his clan back then.

However, Madara is too unpredictable, and Itachi was hesitant to entrust Sasuke to him. So, after meeting Shinki, he made a last-minute decision...

After all, compared to the enigmatic Ban, Shinki is far more reliable!

This is why Shinki raced against time to remove Itachi's eyes after his death.

There are many reasons for the Uchiha Clan Massacre, but fundamentally, it stems from the grudges that have existed since the founding of Konoha.

Shinki sighed softly.

He thought to himself, the Uchiha Clan was once a powerful clan that rivaled the Senju Clan. Since they were incompatible with Konoha, why not just relocate there...?

But thinking about it again, I realize that this idea is too naive...

At this moment, in the Uchiha Clan's stronghold, Madara Uchiha, wearing a mask, confronted the Shinki.

Madara glanced at Uchiha Itachi's corpse on the ground and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "This guy still doesn't believe me after all."

Shinki didn't respond to his question, but instead asked, "I've always had a question about you."

Madara Uchiha let out a soft "hmm," showing interest. "Just tell me."

Shinki nodded. "You should know that I have a keen sense of Chakra."

"Itachi said you were the former Madara Uchiha, I believe it, but not entirely."

"What I want to ask is, why did the legendary Ninja Madara Uchiha use Obito Uchiha's eyes?"

As for why Shinki knew the Masked Man's eyes came from Obito.

It was because when he returned to the village last time, he specifically asked Kakashi about the origin of his Sharingan.

Upon hearing Shinki's words, Madara Uchiha, who was wearing a mask, trembled slightly.

(´°Δ-`)

He was surprised that Shinki had noticed this, yet strangely felt it made sense...

"Hehe, you have a keen eye for observation."

He chuckled awkwardly and said he really didn't know how to explain this kind of thing...

Finally, he simply vanished using his eye power!

Afterwards, Shinki carried out some cleanup work at the Uchiha Clan's base and retrieved Uchiha Itachi's body.

As for whether the Masked Man was Madara Uchiha or Obito Uchiha, he already had the answer in his heart.

In the city outside the forest.

Naruto and Suigetsu teamed up and fought Kisame, to a standstill.

Along the way, Kisame and Suigetsu were even more surprised to discover that Naruto, who wasn't very noticeable when he was with the Shinki, actually knew Senjutsu!

Kisame almost got hit by Naruto's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

Having narrowly dodged the blast radius of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken: Rasenshuriken, Kisame wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "As expected of someone who works alongside Shinki, their strength is not to be underestimated."

"I didn't realize you were such a hidden talent."

Suigetsu patted her cheap teammate on the shoulder and said with surprise.

"Hehehe, not at all, I've been studying with Shinki for quite a while now." Naruto said shyly.

Karin's expression changed at that moment. She pointed to the forest not far away and exclaimed in surprise, "I can sense the Chakra of the Shinki and Sasuke! ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)"

Kisame's expression changed slightly. "Are there only the two of them?"

Before Karin answer, a series of rustling sounds came from the woods ahead.

Immediately afterwards, Shinki appeared, dragging Sasuke who looked like a dead dog.

Suigetsu: " With Sasuke injured like this, did Itachi win this battle between brothers? (꒪⌓꒪)"

Shinki shook his head, his gaze fixed on Kisame not far away. "Itachi is dead."

Kisame was prepared for this answer, so he wasn't too surprised, though he did seem a little disappointed.

"Itachi-san, and they're dead."

"That's true, given his condition..."

"You can leave now," Shinki said.

Out of respect for Itachi, we won't be taking Kisame to collect the bounty this time.

Kisame, being quite sensible, hoisted Samehada onto his shoulder, glanced at Sasuke, and walked away.

After Kisame left, Shinki said to himself, "Next, I need to find a quiet place to perform the eye transplant surgery on Sasuke."

Soon, the Shinki used its Wood Release to build a house in the jungle.

Next, he set up the operating table, took out various medical instruments from the Summoning Scroll, and began the surgery...

Sasuke did say at one point that he didn't want to accept Itachi's eyes.

However, he was knocked unconscious by Shinki.

The surgery was completed a few minutes later.

Karin and the others stared in shock as Shinki emerged from the operating room.

"You got a new pair of eyes? And it was done so quickly?" Naruto asked.

Shinki shrugged, indicating that the surgery was not difficult at all. "The Sharingan is something you can use anytime you want. ┐(´-`)┌"

After some time, Sasuke, with bandages wrapped around his eyes, woke up in his hospital bed.

The first thing he did upon waking was to call out the name of the Shinki.

"Shinki! Where are you!"

Shinki said silently, "I'm right in front of you."

"Now that I have Itachi's eyes, it's time he told me those things," Sasuke said.

Shinki fell silent upon hearing this.

In fact, according to Itachi's last words to Shinki, he did not want Sasuke to know the whole truth.

But some things can't be hidden.

So after careful consideration, Shinki decided to let Sasuke choose for himself.

Are you sure you want to know?

"The truth may overturn your previous understanding of Itachi."

Sasuke, that hothead, chose "yes" without hesitation.

Therefore, Shinki relayed everything Itachi had told him to Sasuke.

Upon Sasuke, Sasuke froze on the bed as if under a spell.

Shinki knew that this guy might need some time to process this information, so he voluntarily left the Orochimaru's hospital room to give him some time alone.

Just after Shinki left the Orochimaru's hospital room, Naruto appeared holding a communication hawk. "Shinki, look! It's a message from the village!"

"It's said that many Ninjas with Kekkei Genkai have mysteriously disappeared near the border of the Land of Earth. We should be careful..."
