"Uchiha Itachi, you guy!"
A low roar like a wounded beast burst out from deep in Sasuke's throat.
He could no longer suppress the overwhelming emotions in his heart, and his reason was on the verge of collapse the moment he saw that face.
Years of hatred, confusion, pain, and my father's earnest entreaties when I met him.
The Ninja Blade in his hand, which was flickering on and off due to violent emotional fluctuations, followed his violent movements, drawing a shrill Blue Eyes arc, with a scream that tore the air, and struck hard at the "Uchiha Itachi" in front of him.
This sword has no skills at all. It is purely an instinctive act driven by emotions, so it has huge flaws.
However--
Faced with this thunderous blow, Uchiha Itachi's reaction was unusually calm.
He didn't even show any surprise or solemn expression.
But at the moment when the sword light was about to approach, his feet seemed to be equipped with pulleys, and with an extremely strange and nimble step, his body turned slightly to one side, like a weightless feather, just in time to avoid the fatal sword edge.
Lightning Sword brushed against the edge of his black robe, and the lightning also hit the ground.
A deep, charred pit was blasted into the ground, with gravel and soil flying everywhere.
But Uchiha Itachi was unscathed.
Even his clothes Kakuzu were not affected by the sword energy, and he still stood firmly on the spot, looking calmly at Sasuke, who was panting slightly because the blow missed, and his eyes were even more angry.
"Want to know the truth?"
Uchiha Itachi spoke again.
"If you want to know, come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped staying and jumped back lightly, like a big black bird, instantly distanced himself from Sasuke.
Then, he turned around and galloped towards the mountain forest.
The figure flickered in the shadow of the trees for a few times, then became blurry, and seemed to disappear at the end of the line of sight at any time.
This is an obvious temptation.
It is a naked trap set by taking advantage of Sasuke's desire for "truth" and his strong obsession with the existence of "Uchiha Itachi".
Sasuke Indeed, the moment "Uchiha Itachi" turned around and left, he instinctively raised his legs, trying to catch up.
But at the moment when his foot was about to take a step forward...
A voice that was very familiar to Sasuke sounded in his mind.
"Sasuke, you should trust your companions more!"
"If you are unsure about anything, just ask Shikamaru for his opinion!"
"His brain works much better than ours!"
It's Naruto.
The two of them were still in the Ninja Academy at that time. At that time, Sasuke retaliated against several classmates who verbally bullied Naruto and was called to Office Education by Iruka.
This is what Naruto told Sasuke after he left Office.
It is true that Shikamaru guy does have a lot of bad ideas, and he is not easy to be blackmailed.
This thought, like a basin of ice-cold water, suddenly poured on Sasuke's brain that was boiling to the extreme because of seeing "Weasel".
His step that was halfway through was suddenly stopped.
His body froze in place.
Do you trust your companions...?
Sasuke's eyes were struggling fiercely.
"Sasuke, I leave my Mangekyō Sharingan to you. Use the power of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to bring Itachi back."
My father's words also echoed in my ears.
Sasuke is extremely confused right now. If he doesn't catch up, he might miss this opportunity.
But with Uchiha Itachi's behavior, that shouldn't be the case.
If he is as lonely as before, Sasuke will catch up with him, but his Mother is still at home waiting for him to come home.
He couldn't take the risk.
The hesitation only lasted a moment.
The crazy scarlet light in Sasuke's eyes began to gradually converge and calm down.
Although his heart was still in turmoil, his reason finally gained the upper hand again.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Then, under the gaze of "Uchiha Itachi" who was about to disappear into the forest...
Sasuke turned around suddenly.
Speeding away in the direction of Star Ninja Village as fast as possible.
He chose to go back to find Shikamaru.
Tell your companions about this strange situation, listen to Shikamaru's analysis and suggestions, and then make a decision.
After Uchiha Itachi entered Forest, it deliberately slowed down and waited for Sasuke. After waiting for a while, Sasuke did not arrive. Instead, a White Zetsu came out of the tree next to it.
White Zetsu informed Uchiha Itachi of Sasuke's actions.
In the depths of the shadow of Hood, two strange eyes the size of soybeans were revealed, emitting a faint green light, like being embedded in the darkness.
It's Black Zetsu!
It was currently controlling Itachi's body.
At this moment, these soybean eyes were filled with unconcealable shock and confusion, as if they were completely unable to understand what was happening in front of them.
This script... is wrong!
Sasuke Uchiha, how can you remain calm when facing your own brother?
How could you resist catching up?
What kind of operation is this!
Black Zetsu felt that the knowledge and experience he had accumulated over thousands of years about the reincarnation of Indra seemed to have suffered a heavy blow at this moment.
According to its understanding of the reincarnations of Indra in the past, these people are without exception paranoid, arrogant, and easily influenced by emotions. Especially when it comes to matters involving close relatives and family hatred, they have almost no sense at all.
They pursue power, are obsessed with love and hate, and often make extremely irrational decisions based on impulse.
This is exactly why Black Zetsu has been able to find opportunities to guide generations of reincarnations of Indra for thousands of years.
But now...
This guy Sasuke Uchiha, faced with Uchiha Itachi, faced with the "truth" at his fingertips, he was able to suppress the hatred and curiosity that could destroy his reason, and chose to turn around and leave.
Could it be that the other party is possessed by a ghost?
The green light in Black Zetsu's soybean eyes flashed crazily, obviously he was undergoing intense thinking and deduction in his heart.
No... impossible.
It can clearly Sensing see that Sasuke's violent mood swings and out-of-control attacks when he saw "Weasel" just now also prove that he is still the same Sasuke.
What's the problem?
Is it because of that Naruto Uzumaki?
Black Zetsu's thoughts couldn't help but drift to Sixth Hokage, who was stirring up trouble in Shinobi World recently.
Naruto Uzumaki... The reincarnation of Asura.
The reincarnations of Asura in the past generations are all guys who have "bond" and "companion" as their core beliefs.
Could it be that due to the influence of Naruto Uzumaki, the ancestral brother/brother family has a guy who can withstand the safety of his brothers?
Black Zetsu's hand controlling Uchiha Itachi scratched his head.
No, man.
Is that Naruto Uzumaki Succubus?
It doesn't matter that a group of little girls are fascinated by him, how come you Kid are also influenced by him?
Black Zetsu I just can't understand!
