Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 60 Foolish little brother, let's just survive one last year.
evening.

As Itachi left the Hokage Building and prepared to go home, the Hokage's advice flashed through his mind: "Itachi, don't go back openly today. It's best not to let anyone see you, especially not the Uchiha clan members."

Itachi Uchiha understood the Hokage's concerns, and he was slightly moved by them.

He could feel an endless malice enveloping him.

At least, the Hokage trusted him.

Following Hiruzen Sarutobi's advice, Itachi Uchiha waited until nightfall before returning to the Uchiha clan.

And then quietly returned to his front door.

However, at the moment he was about to enter, he hesitated.

"Sasuke..."

Itachi Uchiha murmured.

If the whole village is talking about their "future evil," then Sasuke must have heard about it too, right?
How would Sasuke view himself now?
Or will they still stick to my side as always?
Or is it an angry self-questioning?

Or is it a disconnect from oneself?
……

Unable to figure it out, Itachi simply gave up trying. He entered the house, and the first person he saw was his mother.

“…Itachi.” Mikoto Uchiha forced a gentle smile, her eyes filled with mixed emotions as she looked at her eldest son. She said in a low voice, “Tonight’s dinner is ready.”

Uchiha Itachi silently walked into the house until he saw Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Sasuke sitting at the dining table.

He keenly noticed that Sasuke's eyes were a little red.

Itachi Uchiha was immediately filled with anxiety.

"Let's eat." Fugaku broke the silence in a dull tone, showing no interest in saying "I'll start first." He didn't even look at Itachi when Itachi walked in.

Sasuke, however, couldn't eat a single bite.

He looked at Itachi blankly, his tone filled with hope and pleading: "Brother, it's all fake... right? That kind of thing can't happen... right?"

Itachi sighed inwardly. Seeing Sasuke's expression as if he was about to cry, Itachi's eyes gradually changed from initial hesitation and heartache to firm determination.

"it is true."

He spoke expressionlessly: "If someone tries to disrupt the peace of Konoha, that kind of thing is bound to happen."

Mikoto Uchiha paused in her movements.

Fugaku's chopsticks stopped moving.

Sasuke stood there, stunned.

"Why...we...we're clearly a family! Father, Mother...they're not bad people, they're family..." Sasuke clutched the hem of his clothes, his voice trembling as he choked out the question, breaking the silence once again.

Uchiha Itachi stared at his younger brother, gradually realizing that with Sasuke's weak mentality of over-reliance on himself, he would never be able to grow into an excellent ninja.

Since my future self, in the process of choosing to kill the entire Uchiha clan, spared Sasuke the only one.

That means that in the future, he wants Sasuke to inherit his will to protect Konoha.

However, Sasuke's current strength seemed too weak and cowardly in Itachi's eyes.

Itachi Uchiha suppressed his soft heart and said coldly, word by word, "Sasuke, you don't understand the real me."

Sasuke stared wide-eyed, his face full of confusion.

“I have no concept of family. I have things I must do, and no matter who tries to stop me, I will kill them in the end.” Uchiha Itachi, who had just sat down, stood up again.

He turned and left without looking back, adding a few final words: "When that time comes, you will be no exception, Sasuke. Because the future will change according to my will. I will not leave you alone as Uchiha Izumi said."

"Sasuke, you're too cowardly. You're just a tagalong who follows me around all day. Your pathetic weakness means you have no chance of stopping me."

“Foolish little brother, just live out this last year of your life with this fear and anxiety.”

"A year from now, I will take you along with everyone else..."

--Snapped! ! !

Itachi Uchiha didn't get to say the last two words because Mikoto Uchiha had already slapped him across the face.

The force of this slap was very light, much lighter than Izumi's slap. "Itachi, take back everything you said... and apologize to Sasuke again."

With tears welling in her eyes, Mikoto Uchiha gritted her teeth and spoke. Her vision was blurred, and her own flesh and blood seemed strangely unfamiliar to her at this moment.

Itachi Uchiha took a deep breath. He didn't apologize, but slowly said, "Father knows why I made that choice. Mother, you may not understand me now, but when the time comes... you will definitely understand me."

Sasuke stared blankly as all of this unfolded.

After watching his brother's figure disappear into the darkness outside, Sasuke felt dizzy and disoriented under the impact of countless negative emotions.

Before his consciousness faded, he vaguely heard his mother call his name in a slightly panicked voice.

He then lost consciousness and passed out.

……

at the same time.

root base.

Danzo learned some bad news from a Root ninja—none of his subordinates who he sent out today to spread negative public opinion against Itachi Uchiha had returned!

Keep in mind that he sent out eight ANBU ninjas, the weakest of whom were elite Chunin, and some of whom were even Special Jonin.

Moreover, the tasks assigned to them were not dangerous.

And just like that, they all disappeared without a trace?

Danzo's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed.

The smug satisfaction he had felt from secretly smearing the Uchiha clan had vanished. He gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates, "Why aren't you investigating? Bring them all back to me!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

"Wait!" Just then, Danzo called out to his subordinates, because he had thought of a possibility.

This made his expression even more somber.

Danzo's forehead veins throbbed slightly as he squeezed out each word through gritted teeth: "Go directly to the Yamanaka clan and investigate!"

The Root ninja was taken aback: "The Yamanaka clan..."

Danzo gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I think this matter is inseparable from that inherently evil Uchiha brat! Since that brat has the power to see through the evil of the past and future, then my subordinates probably have nowhere to hide in his eyes. No matter how exquisite the disguise, he can see through it at a glance."

Danzo strongly suspects that the eight missing Root ninjas have become eight corpses!
According to that evil Uchiha brat's killing habits.

Those he killed will definitely be handed over to the Yamanaka clan.

Because Uchiha Izumi usually doesn't conduct interrogations at all, and simply executes the villains he sees.

The police force, on the other hand, could only rely on the secret techniques of the mountain tribe to find evidence of the deceased's crimes.

……

Danzo guessed correctly.

Inside the Yamanaka clan's stronghold, Yamanaka Inoichi looked at the eight corpses covered with white sheets lying on the ground with a headache.

"Ugh……"

He sighed heavily, feeling that he was going to be forced to learn many secrets he didn't want to know tonight.

Yamanaka Inoichi didn't know what was going on either.

Since Uchiha Ikezumi carried out his "Absolute Justice" in Konoha, the Yamanaka clan has become the ninja clan with the best relationship with the Uchiha clan.

Even if there is only business dealings, they are at most nodding acquaintances on ordinary days.

But their relationship with the Uchiha clan was much better than that of other ninja clans.
