Itachi, You Did Well

The story is repeating itself.

Fate seems to be a cycle.

Just as Madara Uchiha attacked Konoha in its early days, Sasuke Uchiha attacked Konoha again on this night Konoha, many years later.

Even...

Sasuke Uchiha is stronger than Madara Uchiha then!

Fortunately, Konoha had a Naruto Uzumaki was even stronger than Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage who had once resisted Madara Uchiha. Although Naruto Uzumaki was baffled by Sasuke Uchiha's idea of destroying Konoha, he was determined to stop him!

"Sasuke!"

"What are you doing!"

Naruto Uzumaki was enveloped in golden Chakra light, transforming into a giant humanoid golden Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, which was fighting against Sasuke Uchiha's Complete Body Susanoo!

This is...

What exactly happened?

Just a few days ago, he and Sasuke made a promise to protect Konoha together, so why is Sasuke suddenly trying to destroy Konoha now?

"Have you been controlled by Emiya?"

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't quite figure it out, so he could only come up with a hypothesis.

Because of the power Sasuke Uchiha gained, even Madara Uchiha's Infinite Tsukuyomi couldn't control him, Naruto Uzumaki could only guess that it was Shirou Emiya's fault...

"Get out of the way!"

When Sasuke Uchiha heard the word "control," a fierce and angry look flashed across his face, making him even more furious about what he had just experienced!

My own brother...

They actually wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to alter their will!

This was something he could not tolerate no matter what. He could not tolerate his life being controlled by that older brother, and he wanted to completely destroy the village!

"What on earth happened?!"

Naruto Uzumaki's face showed urgency as he tried to persuade his friend to change his mind, "What did Emiya do? Sasuke, don't believe him!"

"I didn't believe him..."

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth, his heart completely consumed by anger and sorrow, yet he was utterly unable to utter the words that he was being controlled by his own brother.

This kind of thing...

That's just too absurd!

Everyone who knows the truth says that Itachi Uchiha loved him very much, but he clearly couldn't feel any love at all, only a bone-chilling cold!

"Get out of the way, Naruto."

"This has nothing to do with you."

Sasuke Uchiha, controlling his purple Susanoo, drew forth a massive Bushido, unleashing the full power of his Chakra at that moment. "Let me destroy Konoha..."

"I won't allow that to happen..."

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head, his eyes hardening as he slowly began to gather the Chakra within his body.

Obviously...

This battle was unavoidable.

No one would have thought...

After everyone believed that the Infinite Tsukuyomi war was the end of the Shinobi World, a new war broke out, even though this war only involved two people...

Konoha Village.

Tsunade was a little nervous.

Fortunately, Naruto Uzumaki was still in the village; otherwise, she really couldn't imagine whether Konoha could have survived in the face of Sasuke Uchiha's rage...

But...

What exactly happened?

Tsunade really couldn't understand it.

Although Konoha was somewhat ambiguous about the attitude of the former Naruto Uzumaki missing-nin had never been publicly wanted after Sasuke Uchiha brought him back, Tsunade still overruled the objections and re-registered Sasuke Uchiha for the village. She even joked that the kid could participate in the next Chunin Exams held by Shirou Emiya Naruto Uzumaki Shinobi World in the future...

To be honest...

As Hokage, Tsunade believed that she had been lenient enough in her attitude towards Sasuke Uchiha, and she did not want this ninja with the Six Paths Level to be left to wander outside.

But...

I don't think I did anything wrong, right?

Even Konoha hasn't done anything wrong during this time, has it?

In order to keep Sasuke Uchiha in Konoha —no, it should be said that Tsunade never intended for Sasuke Uchiha to become missing-nin —after the brat returned to the village, she even issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from discussing Sasuke Uchiha's connection to the Akatsuki...

"What happened in Konoha?"

A familiar voice appeared in Tsunade's ear.

"..."

When Tsunade heard the voice, her eyes glazed over for a moment, but she immediately realized that it was Madara Uchiha's voice!

No...

How did Madara Uchiha end up here?

Could all of this have been orchestrated by Madara Uchiha?

"Alert!"

The Konoha Anbu Ninja were startled by the appearance of Madara Uchiha!

"What are you on guard against?"

Madara Uchiha looked at the group of Konoha's Anbu Ninja with surprise, seemingly doubting their intelligence. "We're not enemies now. Konoha is one of our subordinate ninja villages..."

"..."

A group of Konoha ninjas immediately showed expressions of humiliation.

"..."

Tsunade's expression also turned somewhat grim, and she said in a deep voice, "Is Sasuke Uchiha's attempt to destroy Konoha part of your conspiracy?"

"Should..."

Madara Uchiha couldn't help but frown. He subconsciously recalled the arrangements that Shirou Emiya had made, but he couldn't figure out what Shirou Emiya had arranged.

That guy...

That's truly a flawless plan!

The question is, how exactly did this guy do it?

Obviously.

This blame is clearly about to fall on Shirou Emiya's head.

As the most powerful person in the Shinobi World, one often has to bear a lot of burdens, especially since Shirou Emiya may be the only person in the Shinobi World with the power to control Sasuke Uchiha.

A pitch-black Space-Time Door appeared on the Hokage Building.

"I didn't do that..."

Shirou Emiya's voice came to their ears, followed by several figures who looked like they were escorting someone.

It was none other than Orochimaru.

Beside Orochimaru was Itachi Uchiha, Impure World Reincarnation Tensei.

Orochimaru had been on the run from Yakushi Kabuto since the war, and he was still diligently trying to find an alliance against Itachi Uchiha Shigenori, with the Impure World Reincarnation Shirou Emiya in tow...

No way.

His ally, Obito Uchiha, died after the war.

Although Orochimaru believed he might no longer need to cause trouble, he couldn't guarantee what benefits he would gain from falling into the hands of the Akatsuki. He could only try his best to find allies and continue to incite the Shinobi World against Shirou Emiya...

Unfortunately...

Orochimaru's luck is a bit off.

Because the Yakushi Kabuto who was chasing him was a bit too strong, and the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave was also extremely effective against him, so that any path he wanted to escape would be inexplicably blocked!

"No..."

When Tsunade heard Shirou Emiya deny it, she believed him because she knew that Shirou Emiya had no reason to lie now, and that the man didn't like to lie.

So...

The suspect can then be easily identified.

"Could it be Orochimaru?"

Tsunade looked at her old friend with some displeasure.

If someone really did incite Sasuke Uchiha destroy Konoha, Orochimaru seems to have that ability too; at least his tongue is quite sharp...

"I didn't even have time to do anything..."

Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh, his gaze turning sinister as he glanced at Yakushi Kabuto beside him. "I've been hiding from Kabuto's pursuit all this time..."

"I'm so sorry..."

Yakushi Kabuto could only smile politely, but his gaze fell on the Impure World Reincarnation Itachi Uchiha: "I was ordered to obtain Itachi Uchiha Lord Orochimaru Impure World Reincarnation. I had no choice but to capture Lord Orochimaru..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha ignored Yakushi Kabuto.

The man watched as his younger brother attempted to destroy Konoha, and a sense of unease crept into his heart. Had the Kotoamatsukami Ninja Crow he had released not yet arrived to alter Sasuke's will?

Are you thinking about...?

Shirou Emiya's voice suddenly appeared in Itachi Uchiha's ears. He looked up at the two clashing in the distance and continued softly, "Why hasn't Sasuke's will been altered by Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami?"

"!!!"

Itachi Uchiha's expression changed instantly.

This guy!

How could he know about the existence of Kotoamatsukami!

They even guessed that he would use Kotoamatsukami on Sasuke!

"I received a Kotoamatsukami from Danzo."

Shirou Emiya noticed Itachi Uchiha's expression and brought up the matter of obtaining Kotoamatsukami from Danzo in the past. He also explained in a friendly manner, "I studied that Kotoamatsukami Sharingan back then. That kind of Genjutsu that modifies human will is indeed very strong, but it couldn't possibly work on Sasuke, who possesses Yin Power and the Rinnegan..."

"You guessed I would use Kotoamatsukami on Sasuke..."

Itachi Uchiha's shock did not diminish in the slightest!

What shocked Itachi Uchiha even more was that Shirou Emiya was able to predict his movements!

This man...

Did you also guess that you wanted to use the Impure World Reincarnation?

"Some things..."

"No one will ever be willing to waste it."

"If that Sharingan exists, it's destined to be used. Given your tendency to utilize everything to the fullest, it's unlikely you'll waste it. You'll probably use it in a crucial way, like having that child who gained immense power protect Konoha or something..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha was startled.

How could this be...

All of it was used in Shirou Emiya!

However, what Shirou Emiya said next immediately made Itachi Uchiha feel as if his heart was being torn apart!

"Originally, after Sasuke rejoined Konoha after the war, I was a little worried that he and Naruto would team up to fight Madara after he left this world. After all, their combined strength was indeed enough to challenge Madara. But it seems you angered him by using Kotoamatsukami to try and change his will..."

"Itachi, you did a great job."

Shirou Emiya, however, was quite satisfied with Itachi Uchiha's actions. He patted Itachi Uchiha on the shoulder, generously praising him. "Now, Sasuke is finally homeless, and he probably won't want to return to Konoha Itachi Uchiha..."
