Chapter 375 - 60

Chapter 60: Uchiha Itachi's ChoiceThinking of this, Itachi's eyes became increasingly firm. He no longer had a shred of hesitation and turned directly to leave. A few minutes later, Itachicame before Danzo and explained the news that the Uchiha Clan was about to revolt.Upon learning this news, Danzo did not hide his thoughts in the slightest. He said to Itachi: "Itachi, now you need to make a choice. Will you stand on the side of the Uchiha and participate in the rebellion, ultimately perishing with your clansmen, or will you stand on our side, save your younger brother before the rebellion, and assist us in killing all the members of the Uchiha?""For the sake of the Village, no matter what, we must act before the chaos occurs. In that case, everyone must die, including your young and ignorant younger brother.""Because once he sees the Konoha Ninja killing his clansmen, the seeds of hatred will take deep root in his heart. If he is left alive, he will inevitably seek revenge against the Village in the future; regardless of how you look at it, he is a hidden danger.""However, if someone could do this for us, it would be different. The only one capable of accepting this heavy responsibility is you, the double agent of the Uchiha and Konoha. Itachi, there is no one else who can handle this task besides you. I know this mission is very painful for you, but accordingly, you will at least be able to protect your younger brother in the end.""You are also a person loyal to the Village. Are you willing to accept this mission?"Itachi closed his eyes and turned to leave directly. As he walked, he said: "I will leave Sasuke in Konoha, but I want to take the bodies of three people. They are my parents and Uchiha Izumi. I do not want their bodies to have no peace after death; I want to bury them with my own hands."Danzo very much wanted to refuse his request, but in the end, he did not say the words, effectively tacitly consenting to Itachi's request.Itachi did not return to the clan grounds immediately. He came to the woods outside the Uchiha Clan shrine and waited quietly. Before long, a person wearing a mask appeared. Itachiimmediately called out to stop him: "I have a matter that requires your help."The Masked Man stopped and asked: "How did you know of my existence?"Itachi replied: "I investigated the secret stone at Naka Shrine through the Konoha Village Police Force, and only the clansmen of the Uchiha know about that place. I started my investigation of your actions from there and learned what kind of person you are and what kind of ideology you possess."The Masked Man heard this and spoke directly: "Then let's speak plainly! You should also know how much hatred I, as a member of the Uchiha, hold for the Uchiha of Konoha."Itachi smiled after hearing this and then said: "I have one condition. I will assist you in taking revenge on the Uchiha Clan, but you are not allowed to attack the Village, and furthermore, you cannot touch Uchiha Sasuke."The Masked Man laughed after hearing this and then said: "Fine, it's a deal. Then I should also show some sincerity; I will take care of the people in the Konoha Police Force for you!""Wait! There is a girl there named Uchiha Izumi; leave her be." As the Masked Man turned to leave, Itachi suddenly called out to him and said.The Masked Man's body trembled slightly, but he did not stop his pace, instead saying to himself: "Is that the girl you like? Hahaha, a person like you actually has someone you like?""Rest assured. I will bring her to you unharmed."Once the figure of the Masked Man disappeared, Itachi looked up at the moon tonight. He knew it was time for his turn to make an entrance!Itachi arrived at his parents' room first. After Fugaku saw Itachi, he slowly stood up and said: "Itachi, it seems you have taken their side, is that right?"Itachi knelt on one knee and replied: "That is correct, Father. I must protect the Village, even if it means fighting you, and they have already promised me that they will not harm Sasuke."After hearing his words, Fugaku slammed his hand on the table and stood up, directly activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, and roared: "Fighting? Do you know what the upcoming battle means?""That will be a battle between two people who possess the Mangekyo Sharingan. Do you think it can be ended in a short time? Or are you saying you now have one hundred percent certainty that you can defeat me?"Itachi did not speak in the face of his father's questioning, and from beginning to end, Itachi's mother remained with her back to him, not saying a single word.Fugaku also gradually calmed down. His eyes returned to their normal state, and he turned around and sat beside his wife. He sighed and said: "Itachi, you should know the ability of my eyes, right!""My left eye can see the past, and my right eye can see the future. I have checked the future of the Uchiha Clan many times, but without exception, the ending is always destruction.""Perhaps you are right. I also do not want the drama of father and son killing each other to happen to us. Do it! But you must remember, you must take good care of your younger brother.""Heh, do not be sad. Although I can no longer see your future, we will always be proud of you.""And compared to our brief pain, what you will have to bear in the future is the true pain."Itachi knelt on both knees on the ground. He bowed his head heavily to the ground and said: "Father, I know that if your Sharingan looks too far into the future, your eyes will enter a dormant period for a considerable amount of time.""But I hope you can take another good look at our future. Perhaps then you will understand the meaning of the choice I have made."Hearing this, Fugaku turned his head again. He asked suspiciously: "Oh? Could it be that there will be something different? Very well, in any case, I have already resigned myself to death, so as you wish, taking a look won't hurt."After speaking, Fugaku restarted his Sharingan. One could see his right eye beginning to rotate, emitting a special light. Subsequently, he closed his eyes, and the whole room fell into silence.After about two minutes, Fugaku opened his eyes. His right eye quickly lost its luster; it seemed that it could not be used again for a long time.But at this moment, he had no time to worry about these things. His face was full of disbelief. He muttered to himself: "I really cannot believe it; the future could actually be like this. Why, in such a short time, could the ending have such a huge difference?"Itachi took the opportunity to say: "Father, please believe me. I will definitely protect everyone and maintain the reputation of the Uchiha Clan. Now, you and Mother, do not resist. I want to use my Sharingan to temporarily put you into a state of suspended animation."
