Itachi Uchiha was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
In truth, he knew very well that when Naruto Uzumaki told him about the future, it meant Naruto knew he would not stand idly by.
The current Itachi Uchiha held several roles. Once the Tsukuyomi Space was lifted, he would gain another new position: Naruto Uzumaki's spy within the Akatsuki Organization.
Just thinking about it felt bizarre...
"I understand."
Itachi Uchiha sighed inwardly and nodded at him. "From now on, I'll find a way to pass along intelligence regarding the Jinchuriki."
"There's no need for that."
Naruto Uzumaki shook his head. As long as he shared his memories with the Nine-Tails, he could obtain information on every Jinchuriki.
He merely looked at Itachi Uchiha before him and said quietly, "I only have one request. After you died, Sasuke suffered terribly. It was only after you were brought back through Impure World Reincarnation that his mood changed somewhat...
"Itachi, you should know his personality. Other than me, he doesn't really like interacting with other people.
"Even after he gained new family, he still seemed lonely. I hope you can stay alive. This is also the gift I want to give Sasuke.
"Itachi, your younger brother missed you all the way until the day he died."
"..."
Itachi Uchiha fell silent for a moment, then spread open his palm. "Sorry, I cannot agree to that request. My purpose will not change."
Itachi Uchiha was unwilling to agree because there was a threshold in his heart that he could not cross. His clansmen had all died one by one at his hands.
The only purpose of his life now was to let his younger brother grow stronger, then kill him and complete his revenge.
He wanted to turn his own life into nourishment
