Chapter 248: Sasuke: Why did my Brother Get Such a Good Friend Like Uehara Naraku…
Sasuke was very determined.
No, it should be said that Sasuke had been fooled.
Sasuke’s character was so easily interpreted by others. Once you arranged a peaceful life for him for his own good, the inherent pride of Uchiha’s clan would make him unwilling and thus take another path.
Therefore, the core reason why Uehara persuaded Sasuke was for his own good.
A person who has been persuading Sasuke to keep him away from danger, no matter how you look at it, was much more trustworthy than those who persuaded Sasuke to let him collect Bijuu or destroy Konoha.
This was Uehara’s plan.
Even Itachi would not imagine that there would be someone who would induce Sasuke like this!
This method was really a little scary.
Who would have thought that a person who said it was good for Sasuke was deliberately making use of Sasuke’s rebellious mentality?
This was because Sasuke was too proud and couldn’t stand the slightest provocation. With just a little guidance, he would directly explode!
After hearing Sasuke’s words, Uehara blinked his eyes and softly advised, “Sasuke, don’t act on impulse. Itachi-san has already arranged everything for you. He left behind his Mangekyo Sharingan for you just to let you have the power to protect yourself.”
“I thought about it very clearly.”
Sasuke gritted his teeth and said with a grim face, “I will not follow his will to live a mediocre life. I will shoulder the hatred between him and the entire Uchiha, I will destroy Konoha to avenge them!”
“No need to do this.”
Uehara patted Sasuke on the shoulder and continued to persuade him, “In fact, Itachi-san has forgiven Konoha in his heart. He thinks that Konoha’s higher-ups did keep their promise and let you grow up safely in Konoha…”
“Who is willing to play the Ninja game with those guys!”
Sasuke’s eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Uehara, coldly interrupting Uehara, “What I hate the most is those years in Konoha!
Itachi should have told me the truth, not let me spend the dark time in Konoha. Now that I think about it, I hate those hypocrites!”
“There’s no need.”
Uehara sighed and comforted Sasuke, “Konoha is the strongest village in the world. Itachi-san thinks that only them can protect you…”
“I never need protection!”
Sasuke suddenly punched the wall, and a string of blood slowly flowed out of his eyes, “What I need is power! The power that can support my revenge!”
The blood in Sasuke’s eyes slowly flowed on his face. The three tomoe Sharingan crazily rotated, gradually becoming a pair of strange Mangekyo Sharingan!
At this moment, his anger reached its peak!
Sasuke finally believed that he had found his future path, and also allowed him to open his Mangekyo Sharingan, this pair of cursed eyes!
Uehara looked at Sasuke’s eyes in surprise. There was still an unexpected harvest?
He only chatted with Sasuke for a few words, and it let him open his Mangekyo?
A trace of astonishment gradually appeared on Uehara’s face, “Your eyes… Mangekyo Sharingan… Is this the fate of you brothers?”
“What?”
Sasuke slowly stretched out his palm and subconsciously touched his eyes. However, he felt a handful of blood. His expression instantly changed.
“Mangekyo Sharingan!”
The next moment, Sasuke slowly clenched his fist, looked down at Itachi’s body on the ground, and knelt down on one knee.
Sasuke stroked his eyes, and promised word by word, “I will bear your hatred together… Let Konoha pay the price for our Uchiha clan!”
Uehara couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, “Sasuke, what you have done is not in line with Itachi-san’s expectations. He just hopes that you can live a peaceful life…”
“Uehara!”
Sasuke interrupted Uehara in a deep voice and continued, “Didn’t Kisame-senpai tell me just now? Itachi also arranged the first path for me,
That is to join you and let me inherit the position of Itachi in Akatsuki! “
“This road will be very dangerous.”
Uehara frowned and seemed to want to make a final persuasion, “Sasuke, if you go back to Konoha or live in seclusion, you can live safely. Perhaps you will never encounter the fight between Ninjas, and you will never see the cruelty of war again…”
These words were really true and earnest.
Uehara was even moved by it.
Beside him, Kisame had a complicated look in his eyes. If not for the fact that Kisame knew his boss, he would have believed that Uehara was Itachi’s good friend!
Even the kind that depended on life and death!
If they were not good friends, why would Uehara advise Sasuke to stay away from danger?
Even someone like Kisame who knew Uehara’s ident.i.ty almost believed him, let alone a rookie like Sasuke!
“Don’t try to persuade me anymore!”
Sasuke slowly turned his head and stared at Uehara with his scarlet-colored Mangekyo Sharingan, “Uehara, I know what I am doing. I also know what I should do. I don’t need your nonsense!”
“Hehe…”
Uehara narrowed his eyes. He suddenly kicked Sasuke’s neck to the ground. Just as Sasuke stood up with a face full of anger, Uehara punched him to the ground again!
Just when Kisame and Kabuto were a little surprised, they didn’t quite understand…
Why did Uehara suddenly wave his fist when he was clearly luring Sasuke into a good situation?
Uehara slowly wiped the blood off his fist and said coldly, “What an annoying little brat! Can’t you obediently listen to your brother’s arrangements?”
“…”
Sasuke, who was originally in a bad mood, suddenly calmed down.
This sixteen-year-old Uchiha was not as angry as they imagined. He just looked at Uehara stubbornly, his face full of unwillingness to admit defeat.
Uehara grabbed Sasuke by the collar, his eyes slightly cold, “Sasuke, listen carefully. We are Itachi-san’s friends, but it does not mean that we will care for you as much as he does!”
Uehara looked at Sasuke’s expression and said softly, “In fact, we really hate you. That’s why I want you to get lost! Because Itachi-san once wanted to fulfill that great dream with us, but for you, he chose to give up his life.”
“I know this.”
Sasuke raised his head and looked at Uehara stubbornly. He said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I will inherit everything from Itachi! His dream is also my dream! His hatred is also my hatred! His will is also my will!”
Obviously, Uehara had just beaten him up, but Sasuke did not show any special anger. There was not even the slightest anger on his face.
Sasuke had already determined that the reason why Uehara in front of him said that he hated him was that he killed Itachi!
On this point, the two of them had the same idea.
When he first learned the truth, Sasuke also hated his ignorance because his duel with Itachi had indirectly killed his brother!
In this world, as long as Itachi wanted to do it, Sasuke decided to do it in his place!
“Itachi-san really left a big trouble…”
Uehara frowned and slowly released Sasuke’s collar. He waved at Kabuto and whispered, “Kabuto, take out Itachi-san’s eyes. When Sasuke has completely mastered the Mangekyo Sharingan, replace Itachi-san’s eyes for him.”
“Yes.”
Kabuto quickly nodded.
As for Kisame who was standing next to Kabuto, he did not know what expression he had at this time.
Kisame had never imagined that Uehara would make Sasuke stand in their camp so quickly. How the h.e.l.l did this happen?
Sasuke even looks determined to do it…
He can’t figure it out!
Especially after Sasuke was kicked and punched, it seemed that his will was firmer, and his face was relaxed.
Uehara glanced at Sasuke and waved his hand to pour chakra and life energy into him. He softly said, “If you really want to follow us and replace Itachi-san, then train hard!”
“Hmph, I understand.”
Sasuke coldly snorted. He lowered his head and looked at Kabuto slowly taking off Itachi’s eyes. His eyes gradually became watery.
Uehara glanced at Sasuke and comforted him, “Don’t be too sad. In fact, in Itachi-san’s eyes, you have always been his pride. We don’t believe it, but he always likes to say that you have the power to surpa.s.s him.”
“Is that so?”
There was a slight tremble in Sasuke’s voice.
Uehara patted Sasuke on the shoulder and sighed softly, “In fact, from Zabuza and Mangetsun mouth, when Itachi-san found out that you became a ninja and completed a C -level mission, he smiled very happily.”
“Why didn’t he tell me the truth?”
Sasuke gritted his teeth and squatted down again. He helped Itachi tidy up his body, and there was a hint of indignation in his voice, “If I had known the truth, I definitely would not hate him so much…”
“It doesn’t make sense?”
Uehara shook his head and replied softly, “Itachi-san has always hoped that you can use your hatred against him to awaken Mangekyo Sharingan. This way, you will have the power to protect yourself, and he will not have to worry about anyone hurting you.”
After he finished speaking, Uehara lowered his head and sighed, “I didn’t expect that the hatred wouldn’t allow you to awaken your Mangekyo Sharingan. In the end, it was his love that allowed you to awaken your Mangekyo…”
After saying this, Uehara was also somewhat moved.
Itachi had racked his brains to make his younger brother use his hatred to awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan. However, he had never thought that his younger brother would awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan because he understood the hidden love of his older brother.
“…”
Sasuke silently shed tears.
The people present were all ninjas. It was not particularly troublesome for them to set up a tomb, so they quickly buried Itachi’s body here.
In order to avoid being found by others, Uehara even released water ninjutsu, drawing out the underground river and turning this place into a large lake.
After doing all this, Uehara let out a sigh of relief and said, “Sasuke, I heard that there is a lake near your clan. Itachi-san should like it here, right?”
“Yes.”
Sasuke nodded and wiped away his tears. He said softly, “There was a lake near our clan. Ni-san always liked to go there. Thank you very much.”
“It’s okay.”
Uehara shook his head and frowned at Sasuke. He whispered, “Remember to pretend to be patient in front of Akatsuki and the others. Don’t lose Itachi-san’s face. His upbringing and behavior have always been the most perfect among Akatsuki’s members.”
“Yes.”
Sasuke nodded in a low voice.
Now, Sasuke was a little obedient.
Sasuke almost regarded Uehara, a former friend of Itachi, as his elder.
When Kabuto saw this scene, he lowered his head and pushed up his gla.s.ses.
There was also some emotion on Kisame’s face.
To be honest, they never expected that in less than a day, Uehara’s position in Sasuke’s heart had changed dramatically.
Thye really didn’t dare to imagine!
If Sasuke found out the truth one day, he would want to cut Uehara into pieces!
“I’m sorry, Itachi.”
Uehara looked at the lake in front of him, and a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face, “We don’t know how to choose to act according to your last words, but I believe that Sasuke’s choice is the most suitable for him, isn’t it?”
Uehara said as if he was Itachi’s friend.
Sasuke stood behind Uehara and comforted Uehara softly, “Uehara-senpai, this is my choice. If Ni-san wants to blame me in the Underworld, let him blame me!”
Sasuke was still comforting Uehara!
Kisame stood beside them and looked at all of this in disbelief!
Was this world fake?
What exactly was wrong?
Kisame couldn’t help but doubt his own memories. Between him and Uehara, who was really the teammate and was with Itachi day and night?
Kabuto couldn’t help but push his gla.s.ses up again.
“Let’s go!”
After saying that, Uehara made a hand seal and said softly, “Sasuke, it’s a pity that the Summoning Contract of the giant dragon is broken. I will help you find a ninja beast flying that can fly in air so that you can visit Itachi-san often.”
“Yes, Uehara-senpai.”
Sasuke hurriedly nodded.
If it were to increase his strength, Sasuke would not be too grateful.
However, if he found a flying ninja beast to make it convenient to visit Itachi’s burial ground, Sasuke was very grateful to Uehara.
This also proved that Itachi had indeed made a good friend.
Sasuke was even a little envious and disgusted in his heart. Why was his brother able to make a friend like Uehara who could entrust his affairs to him, and he could only make friends with a guy like Naruto?
To be honest, Sasuke was really a little envious.
An ancient dragon descended from the sky and landed in front of them.
Uehara, Sasuke, Kabuto, and Kisame stepped onto the ancient dragon and left the place where Itachi was buried.
Under the lake.
Obito dug up a grave and slowly placed his palm on the coffin. He placed the coffin into his Kamui s.p.a.ce.
Obito also entered the Kamui s.p.a.ce and opened the coffin, revealing Itachi’s body inside.
“What a pity!”
Obito looked at the body, his face revealing a touch of helplessness, “Itachi, even you did not see the truth of this world clearly”
