Naruto: First Love

Chapter 132 The Truth
Although Sasuke was not aware of the Nine-Tails incident before, he knew that the hero, the Fourth Hokage, died because of the Nine-Tails incident.

Before in the Land of Waves, Huo Wu mentioned the Fourth Hokage, and with Naruto, he also knew more or less that Naruto was actually the son of the Fourth Hokage.

However, he was not interested in Naruto's identity. The only thing that concerned him was Naruto's loneliness, the same loneliness he and Huo Wu felt.

The Nine-Tails erupted, devastating Konoha and causing many casualties among the Uchiha clan, destroying their buildings, and forcing the Uchiha clan to rebuild.

However, the top leaders suspected that the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, just like Uchiha Madara controlled the Nine-Tails many years ago. So when they redivided the Uchiha clan's territory, they drove the Uchiha clan to a remote corner.

This made the Uchiha clan members angry, and they began to plot a rebellion.

"impossible!"

Just as she said this, Sasuke interrupted her angrily.

Rebellion? This word was too much of a blow to Sasuke.

He knew that his father was the head of the Uchiha clan. If there was to be a rebellion, the head of the clan would certainly know about it and would certainly be the leader. But why would his father rebel in Konoha?
Huo Wu also understood his feelings of not wanting to admit that his beloved father was actually a traitor, and sighed. "Listen to me first, and then decide whether to believe it or not."

What Huo Wu didn't finish saying was that if Sasuke didn't believe it, she wouldn't mind using some tough measures to stop Sasuke from defecting to Konoha, even if it meant giving Sasuke's memory...

"Hmph, let's see what you can say!" Sasuke also understood that at this moment, it would be pointless to say these things because the person was already dead.

"You remember Shisui, right? Uchiha Shisui, Itachi's friend, he possesses the most powerful illusion, Kotoamatsukami."

Speaking of Bie Tianshen, Huo Wu couldn't help but think of her own illusion again. If it was fully developed, would she be able to be equal to Bie Tianshen?

"I remember." Of course Sasuke remembered that his brother was often not at home after he opened the Sharingan and was always taken away by Shisui. At that time, he hated Shisui very much.

But then...

He will never forget the day when his brother thrust a kunai into the clan emblem on the wall, causing cracks to appear on the emblem and defeating the future Uchiha clan members.

That was the first time he saw his brother like that. It was very painful. It was the first time he heard him mention "capacity" and the first time he saw his brother's "Mangekyo Sharingan".

From that day on, he clearly felt that there seemed to be something different between his father and his brother. They didn't talk when they met, and their attitudes were cold and hard...

"Itachi Uchiha joined Konoha's Anbu and became a double agent, passing Konoha's intelligence to the Uchiha clan on the one hand, and passing on the movements of the Uchiha clan to Konoha's high-ranking officials on the other."

"Brother, he..."

After all, he is my dear brother. When Sasuke heard this, he couldn't help but murmured the familiar "Nissan".

"Not long after joining the Anbu, the Uchiha clan plotted a rebellion. Shisui was ready to use Kotoamatsukami to stop it, but..."

But Shisui died. It was said that he committed suicide by jumping into the Minamiga River, but no one in the Uchiha clan believed it. They suspected that his brother killed Shisui, and then they came to the door. The brother angrily attacked the clan members.

"But Danzo didn't trust Shisui and also wanted to get the Sharingan, so when Shisui was about to go back, he led some people to ambush and took away Shisui's right eye. However, Shisui was very powerful and escaped after being poisoned. Only a few members of the Root were left to chase Shisui. In the end, your brother saved Shisui, which is why your brother didn't attend the clan meeting."

"Danzo?" Sasuke was unfamiliar with the name.

Why did Danzo want to kill Shisui? To take the Sharingan?

"Danzo is a high-ranking official of Konoha. He is in charge of a group of Anbu members and founded the Root. He is a contemporary of the Sandaime Hokage. I was injured a few days ago by his people." Huo Wu said, and couldn't help but put her hand on her chest. The wound that had penetrated her back was long gone, but the pain still made her heart palpitate.

Sasuke frowned. So, it was all Danzo's fault?

No, how could the Uchiha clan rebel?It must be Danzo's nonsense, it must be to get Sharingan...

"Shisui felt that he could not live any longer, so he gave his left eye to Itachi and asked Itachi to kill him personally..."

"Impossible!" Sasuke blurted out. This is impossible. His brother and Shisui have such a good relationship, why would Itachi kill him? Itachi won't!
"You know that in order to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, one must kill the person closest to him or her. It was after that night that Itachi opened the Mangekyō Sharingan." Huo Wu was simply stating the fact. She didn't want to judge what kind of person Itachi was. She hoped that Sasuke could understand Itachi's thoughts.

Mangekyō Sharingan?

No wonder he saw his brother’s Mangekyō Sharingan the next day. When they mentioned Shisui’s death, his brother reacted so strongly. Did his brother kill him?

"Because of Shisui's death, the Uchiha clan's rebellion was postponed. Not long after Itachi was promoted to captain of the ANBU, the Uchiha clan prepared to rebel. Your father hoped that Itachi would secretly control the top leaders of Konoha so that the rebellion could be successful even without bloodshed. But Itachi, like Shisui, saw the village, not the Uchiha clan, so he informed the Konoha top leaders of the Uchiha clan of the rebellion. The Sandaime hoped to resolve the issue through negotiations, and Danzo secretly found Itachi and asked him to kill all the members of the Uchiha clan."

"How could that be?" Sasuke couldn't accept it.

Is it because of Danzo that the elder brother wants to exterminate the clan? Then why didn't he listen to the Third Hokage? Why did he exterminate the clan?

"The condition Danzo gave Itachi was for you to survive."

A heavy bomb exploded in Sasuke's heart, making him mentally unstable.

The space suddenly became turbulent, and Huo Wu was startled.

But after just a moment, Huo Wu realized that nothing was wrong and felt relieved.

Maybe, because she constructed this space by borrowing Sasuke's Sharingan, it would be affected by Sasuke's spirit?

"Either the Uchiha clan rebels and is suppressed by Konoha, and everyone dies, and many people in Konoha also die. Then Konoha's strength declines and it becomes the weakest of the five major nations, or even the Ninja World War breaks out again. Or, Itachi kills all the Uchiha clan members, leaving only you, and leaving a good reputation for the Uchiha clan." Huo Wu frowned. He actually did not agree with Danzo's point of view. It was not necessarily the case that all the Uchiha clan members would die in a rebellion.

If Itachi controlled Konoha's high-ranking officials as Uchiha Fugaku said, then at most some of Konoha's high-ranking officials would die, and then Konoha would fall into chaos.

But no matter what, it's not a good ending. It's not impossible for Itachi to choose the second one.
