Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 238 Uchiha Itachi shed tears?
th.

This statement is perhaps most fitting for Itachi Uchiha at this moment.

In today's Chinese internet, even the most volatile trolls cannot deny that the universally hated filial son, no matter how obsessive he may be, still loves Sasuke in his heart.

That's how Kishimoto set it up anyway.

But Sasuke's words, "I don't care," seem to imply that you are completely dispensable in my life.

Moreover, this statement contains an implicit premise: Right now, Naruto Uzumaki is more important to me, at least more important than Itachi Uchiha.

Even though she had wiped out her clan, she had given her younger brother seven years of love (Sasuke was seven years old when the clan was wiped out), and now that love was being ruthlessly taken away by a blond-haired guy.

It is important to understand that the deeper the love, the deeper the hate; 'indifference' is precisely the most direct manifestation of a lack of love.

This is probably far more cruel than [slicing Uchiha Itachi into a thousand pieces and subjecting him to extreme punishment].

Uchiha Itachi was deeply moved, and upon hearing Sasuke's words, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Fortunately, Naruto didn't see this scene, otherwise he would definitely have thought of palace dramas and joked: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I will eliminate Consort Sa for you!" (Manual sarcasm .jpg)

Sasuke noticed a trickle of crimson blood seeping from his palm, frowned, drew the Kusanagi sword from behind his back, and enveloped the blade in lightning.

"Sizzle, sizzle—"

"I don't know what's wrong with you, but since you don't want to talk about it, you can wait until I've chopped you into eight pieces before you tell me."

"Sasuke, cough cough..." Itachi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "You haven't gotten the same eyes as me yet, have you? With your current... cough cough!"

Sasuke ignored him, simply raised his Kusanagi sword and slashed forward!
"boom!!"

The sword energy carrying lightning spread out instantly. Itachi dodged it, and then saw countless shuriken flying towards him like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

Itachi instantly summoned countless shuriken from the arm guards hidden in his sleeves and threw them at Sasuke's kunai.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A series of crisp sounds rang out, the candlelight flickered, and metal clashed with metal, sending up countless sparks!
Then, the shuriken landed on the ground between the two, leaving the surrounding area in a mess.

Sasuke maintained his previous posture, the blade of the Kusanagi sword piercing the ceiling along with the Chidori spear, before slowly dissipating.

"Click!" Sasuke sheathed the Kusanagi sword, then suddenly sneered:
"What a pity... I was hoping to get more information about Naruto from you."

Itachi's pupils contracted, and then he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes...

Meanwhile, Sasuke's mind was lost in memories...

……

……

Last night, long after Shima Fukasaku left.

At the hotel.

After Naruto took a break to use the restroom, Sasuke called him aside to the corridor.

He looked at Naruto and said in a deep voice, "Judging from the current distance, in another day or two, we should be facing Itachi Uchiha head-on, right?"

Naruto paused for a moment, then nodded, asking in confusion, "What?"

"Actually, I've been thinking about something, uh..." Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then quickly regained his composure: "I've been thinking about what will happen when I face Itachi Uchiha..."

"uh-huh?"

"If I were to say, is there a possibility..."

"Are you afraid you can't beat him?" Naruto laughed: "Impossible, he's no match for you right now."

“No, that’s not what I meant,” Sasuke shook his head. “I just think that maybe we have a chance to get revenge on Itachi together.”

Silence reigned all around.

Naruto's eyes widened as he looked at Sasuke in disbelief: "You want me to come with you?"

"Yes, remember? We used to fight the Heart Demon Weasel together."

"But... I thought you would treat revenge as something you did all by yourself!" Naruto was shocked. Had Masashi Kishimoto secretly changed Sasuke's appearance?
Sasuke simply shook his head calmly: "But you've helped me a lot with the Uchiha clan's affairs, haven't you?"

"I can't accept your help without taking everything upon myself,"

"So I was thinking, you should be counted in too, since revenge is such a satisfying thing."

"It's a pity that Sakura got injured at this crucial moment, otherwise I would definitely have called her along..."

Naruto stared blankly at Sasuke, his mind filled with countless thoughts, as if he could see this young man in white leading his clan to a complete rise in Konoha in the near future.

Being unconcerned with trivialities and able to distinguish right from wrong—this is the mindset of a true king.

Thinking of this, Naruto put his right hand together and made a half-folded gesture towards Sasuke.

"What does this mean?" Sasuke asked, puzzled.

“Your level of thinking… has reached such a high point now.” Naruto raised his hand slightly and smiled at Sasuke.

Sasuke's lips also curved into a slight smile.

"In short, when you see the Thousand Birds Spear piercing the sky, immediately use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to my side, understand?"

Naruto laughed and said, "I'll do whatever you say, boss."

"..."

The two exchanged a glance and tacitly agreed to keep the matter a secret from others.

……

a minute ago.

Dense forest.

"Sizzle, sizzle—"

Naruto and the masked man stood silently facing each other at opposite ends of the tree trunk, watching a clear bolt of lightning pierce the sky from somewhere underground, creating a circular hole in the dark clouds.

Naruto felt a chill run down his spine; he understood this was Sasuke's signal. It was time to set off.

However, the problem of Obito Uchiha still needs to be dealt with.

Naruto knows that Obito desires Sasuke's participation, so he won't interfere in the brothers' battle, but he will most likely prevent himself from persuading Sasuke to return to the village.

“Interesting, it seems they’ve already started. Why don’t we wait a little longer?” The masked man’s voice reached Naruto’s ears.

But the next moment, the masked man noticed that a faint eyeshadow had appeared around Naruto's eyes.

At the same time, his aura rose steadily, eventually forming a complete immortal mask.

During the brief standoff with the masked man, Naruto didn't rest; instead, he seized the opportunity to gather natural energy and activate Sage Mode.

“Sorry,” Naruto said with a smile to the masked man, “I want to settle things with you as soon as possible.”

With that, he instantly conjured a Rasengan in his hand, and the size of the Rasengan continued to grow, even far exceeding its previous limit.

Immortal method·Super large jade spiral pill!

Without any hesitation, Naruto instantly threw the Flying Thunder God Kunai forward, while he himself lunged towards the masked man!
His eyelids twitched, and he instantly made his body become ethereal!

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

The giant Rasengan instantly destroyed this vast forest, shredding it into fragments!

At that moment, Naruto pulled out a smoke bomb and summoned a shadow clone as the purple smoke dissipated, which remained in place, while his main body activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Coordinates: Sasuke Uchiha's Flying Thunder God Kunai!

……

Time returns to the present.

Uchiha Itachi only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he found a kunai piercing straight into his chest!

"puff!!"

Naruto, in his true form, filled with boundless killing intent, attempted to have Sasuke's Flying Thunder God Kunai pierce Itachi's body completely!
"Snapped!"

Itachi grabbed Naruto's wrist in time, stopping the kunai from extending further into his chest. Drops of blood fell onto Naruto's palm, startling him.

He just wanted to make a cool entrance with this move and then give Itachi Uchiha a hard time, but why does this touch feel so real?

and many more……

This isn't a shadow clone, nor does it resemble a genjutsu; it's Itachi's true form... Why?
Why didn't he dodge my attack?

Has he become that seriously ill?

Naruto stared at Itachi Uchiha, his expression showing surprise and confusion.

Suddenly,

"Tick...tick..."

A faint sound,

Naruto saw drops of clear, colorless water falling onto his wrist.

These weren't water droplets condensing on the ceiling, but rather they came from Itachi Uchiha's face.

Water vapor condensed in his lifeless eyes, tears welled up in them, and dripped into Naruto's palm. His eyes were filled with only sorrow and sighs.

He's crying... Why?
why? ?

why? ? ?
But in the blink of an eye, Naruto suddenly found that everything had returned to normal. There were no more tears in Itachi's eyes, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

So it was a genjutsu... Naruto instantly enveloped his wrist with the Nine-Tails' chakra, bursting free from Itachi Uchiha, then retreated a few steps, standing on the same parallel line as Sasuke.

Itachi Uchiha clutched his chest, trying to stop the continuous flow of blood.

It's true that Itachi couldn't dodge Naruto's attack, but those tears were fake.

Naruto was in a state of utter confusion, and for a moment he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

He subconsciously interpreted all of this as Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu attack.

"Naruto, don't be impulsive!"

Sasuke stepped forward and slapped Naruto on the shoulder to bring him back to his senses. His own eyes locked onto Itachi's vital points, his gaze sharp and intense.

Naruto's gaze towards Itachi was uncertain, and he couldn't help but ask Sasuke beside him:

Did you just see that?

"What?" Sasuke glanced at Naruto.

"..."

Naruto was speechless for a moment. Was he supposed to say that he saw Itachi Uchiha crying?

Will this disturb Sasuke's resolve?
Yes, Itachi Uchiha might be using a clever psychological tactic; I must not fall for his scheme.

"...It's nothing. Judging from your reaction, I was just under his genjutsu," Naruto replied.

Sasuke was silent for a moment, then nodded: "From now on, don't stray too far from me. Deal with the inner demon Itachi just like before!"

"it is good."

After saying that, Sasuke narrowed his eyes and looked at Itachi's injuries.

From his perspective, Itachi Uchiha was unable to dodge Naruto's stab after Naruto appeared.

This result is rather unusual.

I have grown a lot over the years, but that doesn’t mean that Itachi Uchiha has suddenly become weak.

Considering Naruto's strange reaction just now... Damn it! What exactly is Itachi trying to do?
Unbeknownst to him, Sasuke Uchiha's state of mind began to become somewhat disordered.
