Chapter seven hundred and twenty seventh: the dying place
When Sasuke woke up again, he found that he was tied up.
"You're awake," Obito explained while sitting on the wooden box, looking at Sasuke, whose eyes were blank, "I'm sorry, I tied you up first because you didn't seem to be able to listen to me honestly.
The way he finished speaking."
"That guy... Uchiha Itachi is an enemy. He killed his father and mother, and killed all his clan members. He was not only a rebel ninja, but also a member of Akatsuki. That guy should be a hated existence. My purpose..." Sasuke lowered his head.
Head, he said feebly.
"That night, it is true that he killed all the Uchiha clan members, and then defected from Konoha." Obito admitted part of what Sasuke said.
"so…"
"And he did that because he received an order from Konoha." Seeing Sasuke raise his head in surprise, Obito continued: "This is the entrance to Itachi's truth."
"You actually said it was a mission?!" Sasuke couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Itachi sacrificed himself that night and completed the mission." Obito put his hands on his knees. Seeing that Sasuke was attracted by his words, he said with satisfaction: "It seems that you have calmed down a little!"
"What's going on?" Sasuke regained his composure and stared at Obito and asked.
"In order to continue the story of Itachi, I must tell you what happened during the founding era of Konoha. Itachi became a victim. The fate from ancient times led to his sacrifice. Originally, there was a huge problem when Konoha was born.
, This also determines Itachi's fate." Obito said calmly.
"Sacrifice...why do you make me believe you? I can't believe you!" Sasuke regained his energy, his IQ returned a little, and he knew how to question others.
"I have no evidence that I can produce. It's up to you to decide whether you want to believe me or not, but please listen to me." Although Obito's IQ is not high, he still relies on his age.
Experience convinced Sasuke.
Sasuke closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then looked at Obito and said, "Let's begin!"
…
Itachi felt like he was sinking. He didn't know how long it took before his feet felt like they were touching the ground. This was a dark space. Itachi could only see things three meters around. Beyond this range, it was pure darkness. He looked around.
Looking around, Itachi smiled bitterly and said, "This is the road to hell, right? Also, how can a person like me go to the land of bliss?"
Itachi walked aimlessly in this place. He knew where he came from, but he didn't know where he was going. Fortunately, Itachi was not impatient, otherwise he would have walked in such a place with nothing for so long.
I'm afraid everyone will go crazy.
"Huh?" After walking for a long time, Itachi could no longer estimate the time. He suddenly saw a ray of light in front of him. Itachi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would keep walking in this place until his spirit collapsed. So
When he saw that ray of light, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
But when Itachi approached the light, he realized that it was a bonfire, and a familiar person was sitting beside the bonfire. Uchiha Fugaku looked sideways at Itachi, and said gently: "Itachi, come and sit!"
"Father...Father..." Itachi looked stunned, a little in disbelief. Then, he lowered his head guiltily and apologized: "I'm sorry, I hurt you." Itachi didn't expect Uchiha Fugaku to be here, which reminded him of
According to the words of a colleague, it is said that in most religions, those who commit suicide cannot enter the land of bliss, and Uchiha Fugaku chose to commit suicide in order not to embarrass Itachi.
"You have grown up! You have had a hard time these years!" Uchiha Fugaku smiled, turned to look at Itachi, and said with some emotion: "Tell me how you have lived these years!
"
"Yes!" Itachi walked and sat down next to Uchiha Fugaku, telling his experiences over the years in a calm tone.
After listening to Itachi's words calmly, Uchiha Fugaku looked at Itachi with some amusement and asked: "So, you died in Sasuke's hands in order to let him return to Konoha?"
"Yes." Itachi nodded and said.
"Have you considered Sasuke's thoughts in what you have done?" Uchiha Fugaku asked in retrospect: "When you were this old, I rarely hid anything from you on issues involving you, right?"
Itachi was stunned. After looking at the bonfire and reminiscing for a while, he nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yes."
"Do you know why I didn't hide it from you?" Uchiha Fugaku patted Itachi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Because I believe in you. This trust is not because you are a genius, but because you are my son.
Isn't it natural for a father to believe in his son? Looking back now, you are right about many things."
"Compared to Brother Zhisui and Ming Jing, I am not a genius!" Itachi shook his head bitterly and said: "You are right, I should trust Sasuke more. I seem to have underestimated him.
!”
"I know Shisui very well, but I'm a little surprised by Kurama Mingjing. That brat who doesn't do his job, actually let you be defeated?" Uchiha Fugaku fiddled with the bonfire and said with some curiosity.
"Ming Jing is different from us. He is very good at seizing opportunities. It is because of his wisdom that the Kurama clan gradually became stronger." Itachi recalled: "His eyes never looked at the front, but saw through the phenomena.
Essentially. Therefore, when the daimyo asked him to be the prime minister, he went without hesitation. When the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village was acute, he did not hesitate to reach a joint agreement with the Hyuga clan, so that both families had a way to protect themselves.
Coupled with unparalleled training methods, the Kurama clan's strength expanded in a short period of time, and the originally unbalanced alliance suddenly became equal. Strength, fame, and status made the Kurama clan aloof in the village.
Status, this is something that the Uchiha clan cannot achieve no matter what."
"Why can't the Uchiha clan do it? We have suppressed the Kurama clan for more than a hundred years, but before the Kurama Mirror, the Kurama clan was almost expelled!" Uchiha Fugaku looked at the bonfire, his eyes a little confused, and revealed
Feeling a bit unwilling.
"Because... we are too proud..." Itachi whispered: "Since Uchiha Madara, we have been like this. We only have eyes for the Senju clan."
"After all, both the Kurama clan and the Hyuga clan are defeated by us!" After Uchiha Fugaku said this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky. Itachi was a little confused and also looked up. He saw the dark night sky.
, suddenly a flash of lightning flashed.
"Is there... thunder here?" Itachi blinked and asked in confusion. Isn't this hell? Where did this thunder come from?
"Not before," Uchiha Fugaku looked at Itachi and said with a smile, "Itachi, the pride of the Uchiha clan cannot be lost in your generation."
"What?" Itachi looked confused, and suddenly felt a familiar warmth coming from the palm of his hand.
"Go!" Uchiha Fugaku said calmly: "Go and tell Sasuke yourself that you believe him."
