Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

[Willingly bearing the infamy of annihilating his clan, he secretly infiltrated the Akatsuki organization for Konoha for over a decade.]

Under the sky,

Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Tekka slammed his fist against the wall, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage.

"Reasonable? What the hell is reasonable about this! Killing their own parents, killing their own people, not even sparing infants!"

"This is something no human being could do!"

Uchiha Inahisa stood to the side, her face ashen.

"That's why Tenmu said that if this wasn't controlled by Kotoamatsukami, then Uchiha Itachi was a complete madman."

Uchiha Tetsuka suddenly turned his head. "Then tell me, is it Kotoamatsukami or not?"

Dao Huo remained silent for a long time before replying.

"...I don't know, but I know for sure that no human being would do such a thing."

Border of the Land of Lightning.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Tobirama Senju, who had a serious expression.

"Tobirama-sensei, do you think it's highly likely that Itachi Uchiha was controlled by Kotoamatsukami?"

Tobirama did not answer immediately.

After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"His motive for annihilating his clan existed long before Kotoamatsukami was even activated."

"Even without the other gods, he would probably still have taken that path."

The sky continued to fall.

[To ensure Sasuke would one day follow the path of protecting Konoha, he deliberately concealed the whole truth, willingly allowing his younger brother to resent him for the rest of his life.]

[As for Sasuke's pursuit of power and subsequent transformation into a rogue ninja, he had already planned ahead, leaving the Kotoamatsukami crow inside Naruto's body.]

[When Naruto encounters Sasuke, what if Sasuke attacks Naruto with his eyes?]

[Kotoamatsukami will directly change Sasuke's mind, making protecting Konoha his inner obsession.]

Konoha Year 60, Training Ground.

Naruto looked down at his stomach and screamed in terror.

"What?! What did that guy put inside me?!"

Kakashi was speechless. The current Itachi Uchiha had never even met Naruto, so where did this crow come from in his stomach?

Sasuke's face had turned completely dark.

After seeing the previous scene, he finally convinced himself to forgive a part of Itachi Uchiha.

But now Tianmu is telling him that even in death, that man is still plotting against him.

That guy...that guy!!!

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes reddening.

The Sharingan spun wildly in his eyes, and then one of the Sharingan changed from a two-tomoe eye to a three-tomoe eye.

"What does he take me for?!"

"That guy, what gives him the right to make decisions for me!"

"Why should you change my mind!"

"Uchiha Itachi! Who does he think he is?!"

"What gives him the right?!"

Uchiha clan.

Ironfire's rage was about to burst through the roof.

"Holy crap! He was even targeting Sasuke after he died! Is this guy a demon?! He won't even let his own brother go after he's dead!!!"

The Uchiha clan members standing nearby were also stunned.

"What is this? An older brother's love for his younger brother?"

"I think if Sasuke found out, he'd probably activate his Mangekyou Sharingan right there and then."

"This doesn't make sense! Why is he so obsessed with controlling Sasuke's life?"

The Sky Text continues to advance.

[But it was precisely the Kotoamatsukami he planted that allowed him to break free of Kabuto Yakushi's control after being resurrected through Edo Tensei.]

When Itachi reunited with Sasuke, he heard his younger brother threaten to destroy Konoha.

His face remained expressionless as he calmly revealed the whole truth, even taking the time to seriously reflect on his actions throughout his life.

[It's important to know that when Itachi Uchiha was alive, he never cared about Sasuke's feelings at all.]

The Hokage's office.

Jiraiya's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Does Tenbu mean that Itachi was more lucid after death than when he was alive?"

Tsunade crossed her arms and snorted.

"Some people get stuck on things when they're alive, but they come to understand things after they die, which is normal."

"But isn't that too ironic? To do all sorts of extreme things while alive, only to regret it after death?"

Jiraiya shook his head. "Perhaps it's not regret, but rather that he has finally gained the ability to see his own actions clearly."

"While he was alive, he was immersed in his beliefs and felt that he was doing the right thing."

Konoha Training Ground.

Sasuke had calmed down a bit, but his eyes remained cold.

"He never considered my feelings."

"They didn't even treat me as a person with independent will."

"Once I have enough power, I will definitely vent all this pain to him."

With this in mind, Sasuke already had a plan for how to get revenge on Itachi.

Since Itachi Uchiha killed so many of his clansmen, after I defeat him, I'll have Orochimaru heal that guy.

Keep him alive, and he'll have as many children as he kills his clansmen!

The Sky Text project continues;

[This statement is merely speculation; it's highly likely that Itachi Uchiha was indeed an idiot.]

After all, people change eventually, and given the Uchiha clan's extreme personality, it wouldn't be surprising if they suddenly changed theirs.

Under the sky,

The entire ninja world fell silent for a moment.

Then a burst of extremely complex laughter erupted.

Konoha Training Ground.

Naruto burst out laughing, "Pfft, hahahaha!"

Sakura covered her face, embarrassed by Naruto's sudden burst of laughter that broke the atmosphere.

"Naruto! Stop laughing! This is serious!"

"I know this is serious! But when Tianmu suddenly said that, I really couldn't help it!"

Sasuke stood to the side, his cold expression momentarily frozen, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Tianmu is right."

"He really is an idiot."

"Doing what you think is right without considering other people's wishes will ultimately drag everyone else into the abyss."

"What else could this be but an idiot?"

Uchiha clan.

Tie Huo looked up at the sky, paused for several seconds, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!! Tianmu said Uchiha Itachi is an idiot!!"

"I agree with that! I completely agree!"

The tribespeople around them couldn't hold back any longer either.

"Sure, who would protect their younger brother this way? Isn't that just plain stupid?"

"Even if our rebellion fails and we're all killed, what good is it for Sasuke to carry so much hatred?"

"I've finally seen the heavens speak a word of justice!"

Amegakure Village, the Akatsuki's stronghold.

Kisame glanced at Itachi with an awkward expression.

Itachi looked at Kisame's expression and muttered something to himself.

"...really."

Kisame was taken aback, clearly not expecting Itachi to say that.

"Mr. Itachi, you actually agree?"

People always have to learn to accept reality.

The light from the sky slowly swirled across the heavens, and a new line of text appeared.

[If I were reborn into the Uchiha clan, how could I escape Itachi's massacre?]

Uchiha clan.

The clansmen who were just angrily berating the weasel fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked up at the words on the sky.

"We escaped the Itachi's slaughter?! Is the Sky Curtain teaching us how to survive?!"

But they soon calmed down.

Now that everyone knows about Itachi Uchiha's massacre of his clan, how could he possibly succeed in slaughtering another clan?

However, with multiple sources of information, there are multiple paths to take. Let's hear what Tianmu has to say first.

...

There are four more; I'll add them tomorrow.

Thank you for the positive feedback, readers!
