Chapter 227 Shut up, Uchiha Itachi! I'm Sasuke's older brother now! (4K)

Siba's eyes widened and his ears perked up.

The sudden attack sent a chill down its spine, giving it a completely new understanding of this taciturn young man.

Sasuke looked at Siba with a cool expression and said calmly, "Let's go."

"Oh, oh..." Shiba saw Sasuke go in and quickly followed.

Before even entering the door, one could already hear clanging and banging, along with angry curses and footsteps.

Siba walked into the dark corridor, where the lights in the inner room flickered. He could vaguely see Sasuke's figure and the Kusanagi sword he had drawn from the right corner.

"boom!!"

Siba swallowed hard and went into the room around the corner.

Seeing his underlings haphazardly piled to one side, Sasuke's Chidori Spear was resting next to the slick-haired man in the center, who was smoking a cigarette.

The man slumped limply onto the sofa by the wall, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Sasuke.

Just now, this young man in white threw the man into the room, and then almost instantly dealt with his underling.

He didn't even see the movements clearly.

This scene is no different from an ordinary person being hit by a combo by Quicksilver, and then the battle is over in the blink of an eye—it's too mechanical and divine.

"Wait... don't get excited..." the man said incoherently.

"Young man, you are still young, please don't go down the path of murder..."

Sasuke said expressionlessly, "You're a subordinate of that man named Kakuzu from Akatsuki. In other words, you're usually in charge of managing the accounts, right?"

The man didn't dare to utter a sound, nodding meekly.

"What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything, as long as you spare my life..."

Sasuke released the Chidori Spear and was about to step forward when he suddenly heard Shiba start barking loudly!
Sasuke didn't even lift his eyelids. He raised his elbow to shove aside the henchman who was trying to sneak up on the young man, knocking his nose crooked and making him scream in pain.

"Cough..." The man pursed his dry lips and whispered, "Actually, this wasn't my intention. He insisted on attacking you..."

"what!!"

Sasuke sheathed the Kusanagi sword and saw the man with a slash on his face yelling, "I'm hurt! I'm going to die!"

"If you try any more tricks, the next knife will be aimed at your neck."

The man was terrified and kowtowed repeatedly to Sasuke, pleading, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Please, spare me!"

at this time,

Suddenly, Siba started sniffing intensely!
"Whoosh... Wait! Itachi Uchiha's aura is very close!"

Sasuke's expression changed drastically in an instant!

……

at the same time.

On Naruto's side.

Suddenly, Pakkun's expression turned extremely serious. He sniffed the air and said to Naruto in a deep voice, "Naruto, there's Itachi Uchiha's scent nearby!"

The faint scent just moments before instantly became rich.

Naruto's eyelids twitched, and he immediately said, "Lead the way!"

He wants to find Itachi Uchiha before Sasuke and take Shisui's Sharingan!

Sakura, the clone standing to the side, frowned slightly, but Naruto had already set off, so she quickly followed.

beep, beep...

"Naruto, Sasuke also has ninja dogs by his side. If Itachi Uchiha appears, he must be here right now!"

Naruto was startled; this made the situation more complicated. If Sasuke and Itachi clashed beforehand, they might start fighting right there in the middle of the city.

The two climbed onto a rooftop where there were no people and suddenly increased their speed.

Why this particular place, and at this particular time...? A bad feeling welled up in Naruto's heart.

The plot twist was so sudden that Naruto wasn't prepared at all.

It's not just that the itch was nearby.

Itachi's appearance means that Deidara, Tobi, Itachi, Black Zetsu, White Zetsu, and others may also be lurking in the vicinity.

He didn't know if the Akatsuki had held a meeting, but Deidara wouldn't let Sasuke off easily. He had a natural hatred for the Sharingan, having been defeated by Itachi Uchiha back then.

If Deidara heard that the famous Naruto Uzumaki was here, he would only become more excited.

As for the guy named Tobi who is actually Obito, contacting him beforehand is riskier and could potentially lead to unforeseen changes.

beep, beep...

The two people and the dog gradually moved away from the commercial street and ran towards the forest.

"Sakura!" Naruto suddenly called out to those behind him, "Can your water clone transform into the appearance of other ninjas?"

Sakura blinked and immediately understood Naruto's intention. She leaned closer to him and whispered to confirm, "You're going to intercept Sasuke?"

"Pakkun, go faster!" Naruto shouted ahead, then slowly nodded to Sakura.

Sakura, the clone, hesitated: "...I can't use too much chakra, the clone will dissipate."

"There's no other way, this matter is too important. I have to do it even if it means risking the destruction of my clone. So, are you okay with this?"

Sakura nodded: "I tried using Water Release transformation in the Anbu before. I should be able to ambush Sasuke from the shadows of the forest."

"Okay, be careful of his Sharingan. If you notice anything amiss, immediately cancel the clone."

After she finished speaking, Sakura's body began to secrete a viscous substance, which then materialized into the image of a strange man.

The chakra is Sakura's chakra, but her appearance has changed drastically.

"Pakkun," Naruto called out, "Are Sasuke and the others in front of us or behind us now?"

“Sasuke?” Pakkun sniffed and said, “Behind him.”

"That's good..." Sakura, now a water clone transformed into a man, nodded and hurried away, then hid in the shadows of the dense forest and began setting traps.

As night deepened, the dense foliage blocked the moonlight, making the surrounding visibility increasingly lower.

"Pakkun, how far are we from Itachi Uchiha?"

Parker sniffed: "It's not far, we'll catch up in ten minutes at most."

Ten minutes? Is the journey really that short?

Naruto felt a chill run down his spine, his expression immediately tense, and he began to mentally prepare his response.

It's not like Shisui's Sharingan was given away for free; he had to be 'tested' by Itachi before that.

Just like in a job interview, Naruto needed to make a 'sincere' statement in front of Itachi.

Continue on your way.

beep, beep...

"Pakkun, are we there yet?" Naruto asked in a low voice, and Pakkun replied in a low voice, "We're still a ways off."

beep, beep...

"Parker?"

"not yet."

beep, beep...

"Parker?"

"not yet."

"..."

beep, beep...

"Parker?"

"not yet."

"?"

Suddenly, Naruto looked at Pakkun in front of him, then glanced at the trees on both sides that were moving backward, and then looked at Sakura behind him.

"This is an illusion..."

Since when, Naruto has been trapped in an endless loop of 'traveling'! Naruto's pupils contracted, and he immediately made his chakra chaotic within his body, but his body began to become sluggish and heavy. His arms seemed completely unable to lift, and only his feet continued to move, but they seemed to have become a perpetual motion machine, slipping out of his control.

Not only my body, but even my mental and physical will began to crumble...

Wake up!

[Don't sleep! Get up and wake up!!]

The voice of the real person struck Naruto's head like a heavy hammer, instantly bringing him back to reality.

Naruto looked down and saw that his body had become as thin as paper.

He raised one hand, but because it was as thin as a sheet of paper, it could only hang down listlessly.

If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, Naruto might never have known the power of a master of illusion.

In the past, Naruto mostly honed his genjutsu against Gamabunta, which is why he didn't have many opportunities to fight against true genjutsu masters.

That's when the difference became apparent.

But Naruto wasn't there to fight; he was there to pick up his goods.

He simply relaxed, stopped resisting, and said, "Why don't you just take action?"

His tone deliberately revealed a hint of doubt.

"Long time no see, Naruto Uzumaki..."

“Ka-ka-ka-ka”

Crows cried out, stretching out from unknown corners and flying towards the moonless sky, forming the face of Uchiha Itachi.

These sounds themselves would affect Naruto's five senses, causing him to become deeply immersed in this genjutsu world.

"I don't want to kill you, I just want to talk to you about something."

Here it comes... Naruto's mind began to stir, his thoughts swirling, and the draft he had in mind surfaced before his eyes.

"Hey..." Naruto laughed, "Do you know that I applied for a special fund in Konoha to revitalize the Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Itachi remained silent; the crows only formed half of his face, making it difficult to detect any changes in his emotions.

"I'm helping Sasuke revitalize his clan, and Granny Cat is lamenting your brothers' infighting. I'm curious about your perspective as the person directly involved,"

"To wipe out an entire clan, whether out of personal motives or a sense of righteousness, is completely unacceptable, isn't it?"

Itachi Uchiha remained silent. He wouldn't explain these things to Naruto; to outsiders, he was simply seen as a madman.

All he needed to do was make sure Naruto brought Sasuke back to Konoha safely.

"You've done so much for Sasuke, but he's still only focused on revenge, wanting nothing more than to kill me to vent his hatred..." Itachi Uchiha said slowly.

"Even so, you still want to help him? In my opinion, your thinking is equally unpredictable."

Naruto scoffed, "Why is it so hard to understand? Konoha has always helped the Uchiha clan. No matter how much they have declined, the Uchiha are still one of the founding members of the village and deserve respect."

This was said both to Itachi and to subtly criticize Konoha's decision-making.

Of course, the man who caused the deterioration of the relationship between the villagers and the Uchiha had already been swallowed by the Grim Reaper. Out of respect for the dead, Naruto would not mention him again.

Uchiha Itachi said calmly, "As far as I know, Konoha does not agree with your decision. They would prefer to use their limited resources to help other ninja clans."

Upon hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Wow, this filial son really knows how to speak!

The questions used to test cadres are also dynamically adjusted.

He remembered that in the original work, Itachi Uchiha asked: "Why are you so obsessed with my brother? He's a rogue ninja, isn't he?"

But no matter how the question changes, the solution is the same. Naruto only needs to say: At least I consider him a brother.

Just like the college entrance examination, the questions keep changing, but the knowledge points are always the same.

but……

All come,

Naruto decided to give this filial son a little taste of his own medicine.

"Heh, Uchiha Itachi, you don't know..." Naruto gave Itachi a sinister smile:
"Now, I am Sasuke's older brother!"

"He admitted this himself when he left Konoha, and he called me 'Big Brother'!"

"I'm asking you, if your own younger brother is wronged, shouldn't the older brother help him?"

Uchiha Itachi fell completely silent.

Naruto's smile remained unchanged, but his meaning was clear: he would definitely protect Sasuke and help him.

And if you, as my own brother, can't protect me, I, as your cousin, will.

No, Itachi Uchiha, you are the cousin now, and I am the biological brother!

The solution is actually the same, just presented in a more dramatic way. It's like solving a challenging problem using university-level knowledge instead of high school methods.

It really tests the examiner's composure.

Uchiha Itachi remained silent for a long time, but his tone did not change much:
"Perhaps you're just enjoying the feeling of protecting others,"

"Once this pleasure wears off, all that's left is a mess."

Naruto was surprised by Itachi's response and immediately became somewhat annoyed.

What does it mean to 'enjoy the feeling of protecting others'?
Moreover, Naruto vaguely sensed something else in those words; this kid was probably implying something about him.

Playing such a cunning rebuttal, huh? Fine, fine.

Naruto sneered repeatedly: "I really will laugh. If you go to Konoha and ask everyone around you, who wouldn't say that I, Uzumaki Naruto, genuinely care about Sasuke?"

"And even if I were to enjoy it, so what?"

"Some people pretend to care about their younger brother, but they are actually two-faced. Now they even want to give him a Tsukuyomi every time they meet. Where is the behavior of an older brother?"

He continued, "And what about your own parents? How can you kill your own parents in front of your own brother? What kind of brain-stem deficiency is that?"

Have you ever seen into Sasuke's heart? Have you ever heard his true desires?

"you have not."

"You have no right to judge me, Uchiha Itachi. You should think about how you will apologize to your clan after you die."

He spoke one sentence after another, with a hint of anger in his voice.

This is not surprising.

Naruto's words contained both an element of performance and his true feelings.

He's been a Naruto fan for many years; Sasuke and Naruto are characters he grew up with.

Moreover, the older he got, the more he saw his parents getting older, the less he could forgive Itachi Uchiha for what he had done.

Of course, Naruto wasn't worried that Itachi Uchiha would get angry and stop giving him the gold coins. Itachi had already taken on the blame early on, so he didn't care if Naruto said a few words to him.

But to be honest, it's a bit malicious.

Itachi Uchiha's expression finally began to show a slight change.

His eyes twitched slightly, and a ripple appeared on his calm face, his nasolabial folds trembling slightly.

He was holding back, he was restraining himself, but he couldn't express his true feelings to Naruto at that moment.

He had to take the secret to his grave, or at least that's what he believed.

Just then, Naruto saw a red figure.

A crow with Sharingan eyes flashed past him.

"...It seems I can't continue this conversation with you."

Uchiha Itachi did not explain the reason, but slowly dispelled the genjutsu, allowing Naruto's body to regain gravity.

Everything vanished, as if it had been a dream or a bubble.

It was quiet all around.

Naruto immediately checked his body and asked his true form, "Do you see the Sharingan?"
