Before Yusuke asked this question, he had never thought about the difference between the two. He even felt that "participating in communication in the name of the Uchiha clan" had already cleared the relationship with the Leaf Village.
But when Yusuke put "priorities" on the table, he didn't know how to choose.
Taking the "Uchiha clan" as priority, then, what is the difference between everything he does and his father?
Isn't his father also dissatisfied with the injustice faced by the Uchiha clan in Konoha?
In his father's heart, he always believed that he was a member of the Uchiha clan first, and then a villager of Konoha.
But what about yourself?
Konoha Village is above all else? But what about the clansmen?
Especially, Sasuke is also one of the clan members.
Can he really give up Sasuke for the sake of the villagers?
Yusuke wiped the oil stains on his hands and asked Shizune for a glass of water.
He never thought that this question would bother Itachi, but now it seemed that Itachi was not so clear about his beliefs.
If it were Obito Uchiha, he would definitely say "Nohara Rin". What does it have to do with whether other people love her or not?
"I..." Itachi took a deep breath, "I belong to both the Uchiha clan and the Leaf Village. If I only choose one, I might not be so entangled. However, I will judge how to choose based on the results.
For example, at this moment, I am talking to you as an Uchiha clan member, and I will not reveal anything about Konoha Village. Similarly, if the outcome of the matter is beneficial to Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan, no matter what
I will try my best to achieve it by any means. So, at this moment, you can trust me."
"The last time I heard something so reasonable was the last time." Yusuke said with a smile.
"Eh?" Itachi was stunned for a moment, then his face became hot after he thought about it.
What Yusuke meant was that he said a lot of nonsense.
"I heard that the reason why you are wanted in Kirigakure Village is related to 'Uchiha Madara'. Regardless of whether this identity is true or false, but he once belonged to the Uchiha clan. If you can tell me everything you know,
I am willing to help you deal with the crisis in Kirigakure Village in my personal capacity, even if I sacrifice my life for it."
"But you are a 'Konoha ninja' after all."
"Then let me not belong to the 'Konoha Ninja'. I said, I only care about the results. If I can find Sasuke and solve the Uchiha clan's dilemma, I don't care what my identity is, even if I am a traitor, it doesn't matter." Itachi.
said.
Yusuke raised his eyebrows, why did you choose the path of "rebellion and ninja" again!? Can't you imagine other ways? For example, give me Shisui's eyes?
Of course, Itachi's choice to become a rebel ninja has more advantages than disadvantages for Yusuke, but for the "Uchiha clan", this may not be the case.
"What are you talking about!?" Tsunade slapped the table and glared at Itachi.
Shizune also widened her eyes and looked at Itachi in disbelief.
Wait, is this content she can see without paying?
Isn’t it too exciting?
"I'm serious. Whether it's Sasuke being captured or the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Leaf Village, as long as one of these things can be resolved, I think becoming a 'rebellious ninja' is worth it."
"What he said may not be true, so you trust him so much?" Tsunade pointed at Yusuke.
Yusuke was dissatisfied. Although he was a rebellious ninja, he had never done anything harmful to nature.
"Yes, this is the first time I met him. Logically speaking, I should trust Konoha more. However, Shizune has been missing for so long, wasn't she still rescued by him? This is because of your existence, so Muye
Ye Ye mobilized a lot of manpower and even searched all major families. However, Sasuke is only a child of the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan is at odds with the top leaders of Konoha. Do you think that in this case, it is best to find Sasuke?
What is the probability?”
Tsunade was speechless.
Although I don’t want to admit it, the probability is really pitifully low.
"Besides, sometimes hard work is useless. I don't care whether I use the right way or the evil way, as long as I can find Sasuke, I don't care."
Tsunade sighed, she understood Itachi's thoughts.
Putting herself in her shoes, if she were Weasel, she wouldn't have many options to choose from.
Yes, she could ask the Hokage to help investigate Sasuke's whereabouts, but there are three problems.
First, finding someone consumes manpower and financial resources. Is Konoha Village willing to spend resources on finding Sasuke for a long time?
Secondly, given the current relationship between the top management of Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan, do they really want to find Sasuke, or are they just showing up?
Third, and most importantly, even if Naruto shows a positive attitude, can he really find Sasuke?
"Sometimes hard work is useless", this is what Itachi probably wanted to express.
"Okay, wait until you become a rebel. I will tell you whatever you want to know." Yusuke smiled.
"That won't work." Itachi shook his head, "After I became a rebel ninja, if you say you don't know, then my efforts will be in vain. So, I'd better charge a little 'favor fee' first."
Yusuke thought about it seriously, and it seemed that Itachi's conditions were fine, "Then I'll tell you my guess. As for the person who imprisoned Shizune, I won't talk about it for now."
Tsunade smashed the wine glass, "Are you targeting me?"
"Of course not. You don't need to be responsible for guessing. Believe it or not, and this person has little relationship with the Leaf Village. Even if the Leaf Village knows about it, it doesn't matter. But I definitely know the identity of the person who imprisoned Shizune.
, and you are from inside Konoha Village. It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I don’t believe in Konoha Village.” Yusuke said.
"..." Tsunade frowned.
In the final analysis, her bargaining chip is still not strong enough.
"Please tell me." Itachi said.
"The person who kidnapped Sasuke was probably Orochimaru." Yusuke answered.
This simple sentence surprised both Tsunade and Itachi, but soon they figured out the reason.
Orochimaru made the incident in the Death Forest so eye-catching just to attract attention, so that he could take the opportunity to sneak attack Sasuke.
Logically speaking, it does make sense, but...
"Why did he attack Sasuke? Sasuke is still a child." Tsunade wondered.
"At first, I couldn't figure out the reason. Later, I thought about it carefully and finally figured out the reason. It's like playing shogi. You can't just look at one step, but the next few steps. If you can understand Orochimaru
You will be able to figure out the reason for this. Orochimaru has been studying reincarnation. The general theory is to transfer the spirit to the container to achieve immortality. Speaking of which, the reason why I did not die is also because of him
Plan to make me one of the vessels."
"Then so does Sasuke..." Tsunade whispered.
Itachi clenched his fists, "It's unforgivable, where is he? I'm going to kill him!"
"No rush. First of all, this ninjutsu has not been completed in the true sense. Secondly, Sasuke is not his ultimate goal. After all, Sasuke has not even opened his Sharingan now, so there is no need for him to waste time on him. If
My guess is correct, his target should be you, Uchiha Itachi." Yusuke said.
If he said "Orochimaru kidnapped Sasuke", Tsunade and Itachi would still understand, but Yusuke's last words made them unable to react for a while.
