Whoever wins, I'll follow. If I can't beat them, I'll join them.
That had always been Itachi's ideal.
Itachi was not optimistic about the Uchiha Clan rebelling, because the Uchiha Clan was not strong enough. Even if they rebelled, they would only be wiped out.
That was why he helped Shimura Danzō and even remained indifferent when Uchiha Hewan was replaced.
Later.
Uchiha Obito appeared, and Itachi guessed that he might be Uchiha Madara.
And Uchiha Madara was clearly more powerful than Konoha.
Then he would join Uchiha Madara... in other words, the Akatsuki Organization.
Later still.
Itachi discovered that Hyuga Sho was even more powerful.
Then he would switch sides again.
Put simply... Itachi had always followed the winner.
If Hyuga Sho knew about this, he would definitely evaluate Itachi as the ninja-world version of "Suikyo Suzaku."
And coincidentally.
The ring Itachi wore when he joined the Akatsuki Organization was "Vermilion Bird."
Itachi's expressionless face appeared before Uchiha Obito.
He did not openly say that he was betraying him.
But he was already hinting at his split with Uchiha Obito.
Either you kill Hyuga Sho.
Otherwise, I'll follow the winner.
Because Hyuga Sho was stronger.
And at least Hyuga Sho was a Konoha Ninja.
Uchiha Itachi saw the dawn of peace in the Shinobi World in the White Devil.
As long as they could push through the growing pains and sweep across the Five Kage in a short time.
The entire Shinobi World would welcome a second period of calm.
Perhaps it was karma.
Uchiha Obito had always been disgusted by other people's behavior, and finally, he was disgusted in turn.
Uchiha Itachi was acting as a double agent.
On one hand, he was a Konoha Ninja.
On the other, he was also a member of the Akatsuki.
