Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

This is Lord Orochimaru's intention.

If you tell the truth directly, the other person will become suspicious. Only by guiding them step by step to discover the truth themselves will they believe you without a doubt.

Sasuke said coldly, "Do you want to die?"

According to Kabuto Yakushi, the destruction of the Uchiha clan is related to the Hokage?

If it's fake, then it's a rogue ninja's attempt to sow discord. But if it's real, going to ask the Hokage is tantamount to courting death.

Kabuto Yakushi didn't care about his attitude and laughed, "Go look for the manuscripts left behind by the Uchiha clan; you're bound to find something."

The Uchiha clan has been plotting a rebellion for many years. Even if Konoha cleanses the area thoroughly, there will probably still be some things left behind.

Sasuke isn't like the brainless Naruto Uzumaki. After discovering the truth, he immediately grasped the whole situation by connecting it to the village's circumstances.

At that time, he would absolutely have been willing to cooperate with Orochimaru to destroy the village stained with the blood of the Uchiha.

"Let me tell you another secret."

Kabuto put his finger to his lips and whispered, "The people who attacked you that day were Konoha's secret unit called Root, which was under the command of Danzo Shimura, a friend of the Hokage."

Sasuke frowned even more deeply.

He also found it absurd that enemy ninjas could infiltrate Konoha Village, and was puzzled when it was brought up again.

In the end, Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi reached a deal, with Sasuke buying the purple jewelry set for 20,000 reward points.

"The truth?"

Sasuke's heart pounded, and the more he thought about it, the more his head throbbed with pain. Recalling the scene of the massacre of his clan made him feel suffocated.

At this moment, he repeatedly opened the wound, carefully recalling the details.

Just when Sasuke was questioning the meaning of life,

On the streets of Konoha, two people dressed in black robes with red clouds strolled leisurely along the commercial street.

The tall man with a shark-like face, wearing a straw hat, was even more eye-catching. He exclaimed, "What a prosperous village! Mr. Itachi, did you grow up here?"

"Don't say anything more."

Uchiha Itachi said this, but he did not stop Kisame.

From a ninja's perspective, this was a very unsuccessful infiltration. There was no disguise whatsoever; they were only wearing a straw hat that couldn't even cover their gills and faces.

They didn't try to conceal their chakra aura either, it was like two bright light bulbs.

And so they stormed into Konoha.

The ANBU ninjas had already noticed it, but they hadn't made a move yet because they didn't know the purpose.

"Mr. Itachi, are we really going to capture the Nine-Tails?"

Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't believe that Itachi Uchiha, who was usually calm and wise, would do something as irrational as breaking into Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi calmly replied, "No, it was just a test."

Actually, it's Sasuke.

While carrying out his mission as leader, he suddenly heard that Sasuke in Konoha had been attacked. He suspected that something had happened in the village and that Danzo was likely the one who had attacked Sasuke.

This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

Therefore, he decided to risk returning to Konoha to let Danzo know that he had been keeping an eye on Sasuke and to prevent the latter from making any rash moves.

"That's quite a generous gesture, Mr. Itachi."

Kisame Hoshigaki looked up at the giant arena that had been built in the center of the village and exclaimed, "I heard that the Chunin Exams of the Five Nations are being held in Konoha. Judging from the size of this arena, even I could fight with all my might."

Before his defection, Kirigakure was not poor, but it was not qualified to build such a luxurious building.

the other side,

Inside the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi received a report from the Anbu, took a puff of his pipe, and muttered, "Has Itachi Uchiha returned to the village?"

An S-rank rogue ninja infiltrated the village.

This should have been given high priority, but Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, signaling the Anbu not to alert them, and then nothing more was said.

He skillfully activated his telescope technique and overheard Itachi Uchiha talking about capturing the Nine-Tails.

"Is this information being sent to the village? Is an organization trying to capture the Nine-Tails?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt guilty.

Itachi Uchiha's decision to return to the village at this time is likely related to Danzo's attack on Sasuke.

She had promised to take care of Sasuke, but she hadn't kept her promise.

At this moment,

A crow suddenly landed on a telephone pole outside the window, with a piece of paper in its beak.

The document contained secret information about the Akatsuki organization and the recent turbulent situation, suggesting that someone might be planning to attack Konoha.

Finally, Itachi Uchiha wanted to test Sasuke's growth and strength, hoping the Hokage would agree.

"Sasuke's strength might surprise you, Itachi."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips curled up into a satisfied smile.

Even he couldn't ignore the growth of the new generation. With Itachi Uchiha's guidance, Sasuke would surely grow into a towering tree that protects Konoha.

"Go tell Danzo to stay quietly at his Root base and not to come out without my order."

"Yes."

Itachi Uchiha sacrificed too much for the village, and as the Hokage, he would certainly try his best to fulfill this request.

Minagawa Shrine,

Sasuke searched high and low, and finally found a clue in an abandoned secret compartment.

"This is... a secret letter from the Uchiha clan?"

The record is brief; it is a secret letter concerning the large-scale purchase of kunai.

There were also explosive tags and ration pills.

The sheer number of them already exceeds the normal consumption of a family, enough to incite a rebellion.

Sasuke frowned deeply, sensing that something was wrong, and could even imagine the scene at that time.

No wonder,

My father was always serious and rarely came home. Almost every day, we would gather together to discuss some secret matters.

Did the Uchiha ever intend to rebel?

Having found this place, the truth is about to be revealed.

Sasuke felt his throat was dry and hoarse. Even when he thought back, he could see the problem. It was likely that the village had known about the Uchiha clan's impending rebellion for a long time.

The destruction of the Uchiha clan was related to Konoha!

"Itachi, what role exactly are you playing in all of this?"

The immense sense of chaos caused Sasuke's chakra to go berserk, with a peculiar chakra gathering in the optic nerves of his eyes.

The crimson Sharingan activated, and the black tomoe spun wildly.

Three-tomoe jade.

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Three-tomoe jade, huh? You've certainly made some progress while I was away."

Itachi Uchiha had come to find the clan's territory to see how Sasuke was doing.

Chapter 64 Brothers' Battle

"Itachi!"

Sasuke suddenly turned around, his young face filled with intense hatred.

only,

Unlike before, having just come across the secret letter, he had more room to think things through, and his hatred was mixed with a hint of hesitation.

"My foolish brother, what a disgusting look in your eyes!"

Uchiha Itachi's expression was cold as he frowned and said, "I actually saw hesitation in your eyes. Is it because the hatred I inflicted on you is not enough? If so, you cannot cultivate perfect eyes."

He felt uneasy.

There shouldn't be any problems with the hints that he's releasing genjutsu himself. Could it be that someone told Sasuke something?

Sasuke opened his crimson Sharingan, staring intently at Itachi Uchiha, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You who killed your entire clan, sparing neither the old nor the young, why have you returned to the village?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Uchiha Itachi coldly replied, "You are not worthy of my interest right now. Wait until you have eyes like mine before you question me."

"I don't need those eyes at all!"

Sasuke glared at him with resentment. Those evil eyes that needed to kill one's closest relatives to awaken—even without them, he could still take revenge.

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly and said, "It seems your hatred isn't deep enough."

what happened.

Sasuke, who was kept in the dark, should have used hatred as motivation to constantly grow stronger in order to kill himself.

This was the path to becoming stronger that I had guided him on, but I never expected things to go wrong. It seems that Sasuke doesn't have a strong desire for power.

Why?

It seems I have to make Sasuke recall the memories of being dominated by hatred.

Sasuke roared angrily, "Father, Mother, and our clansmen... why did you kill them?!"

He wanted to know the truth.

"So someone did tell you something, you foolish little brother."
