Chapter 474 Kisame: Itachi-san, do you want to kill me?

"Mr. Itachi..."

Kisame was choked, and his words of concern stuck in his throat.

Okay, okay.

So when the Konoha ninja said they would die, they were referring to me, Kisame Hoshigaki, not the Konoha hero, Itachi Uchiha.

While he was nearly torn to shreds by the clone of the vengeful infant, Uchiha Itachi, on the other hand, seemed to be at home, not even breaking a sweat.

I told him it was dangerous and we should run, but Mr. Itachi didn't even blink and rushed forward. It turns out he wasn't afraid of death, but he knew he wouldn't die.

Although he knew in his heart that Itachi did not do it on purpose.

But a trace of resentment still rose in Kisame's heart.

"Kisame, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing Kisame's predicament, Itachi Uchiha immediately activated his Dark Curse and rushed towards his comrade.

The docile, vengeful infant clone that had been hovering around him turned and bit Kisame as he approached.

hiss……

The sudden attack resulted in Kisame's abdomen being bitten through, allowing light to pass through.

"Mr. Itachi, please move a little further away from me."

Kisame's mouth was bleeding, and he quickly distanced himself from Itachi Uchiha.

Although Itachi Uchiha will not be attacked, the intense resentment will condense into resentment clones around him. If they get close, it's like taking double the damage.

Uchiha Itachi also realized what was happening and began to release enhanced curses from a distance.

Black flames surged from Kisame's shoulder, condensing into a phantom figure completely shrouded in a black robe.

With Kisame swinging his sword,

The phantom that appeared on its shoulder also threw out dark light waves in all directions.

sizzle...

The dark light waves struck the resentment clone, but instead of causing harm, they nourished the resentment infant clone like sweet rain.

Bang bang bang.

The vengeful clone, which had originally appeared as a phantom, suddenly landed and solidified from the dense aura of dark magic.

The two resentful clones pounced, nearly biting off Kisame's Samehada.

"Mr. Itachi, you'd better not help me!"

Kisame bared his teeth and kept dodging, not daring to stop moving, otherwise he would be ambushed by the resentful clones that condensed in the mist.

He feared that if Itachi Uchiha helped him again, he would kill him directly.

It's like someone who claims to be protecting the honor of the Uchiha clan, but then ruthlessly slaughters the entire clan.

Inexplicable,

Kisame felt deeply for the Uchiha clan members who had been killed, and a nameless rage burned within him.

Until they were out of the attack range of the city wall orb,

Kisame was on the verge of death.

Itachi Uchiha wanted to help, but Kisame stopped him, fearing that something else might go wrong.

"Let's go."

Tenzo was very dissatisfied with the unharmed Uchiha Itachi, whose original target was the thug who killed Lord Aizen.

Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, the other party managed to evade the attack.

Uchiha Itachi did not continue to explain. In the current situation, only Sarutobi Hiruzen could clear his name.

Following Tenzo, we traversed the streets and alleys of Konoha.

"Lord Tenzo!"

A little girl passing by handed her bouquet of flowers to Tianzang.

A look of surprise flashed across Itachi Uchiha's eyes.

He was also a member of the Anbu. The Kage organization and the Anbu are essentially the same organization, dealing with very difficult problems for the Hokage.

However, the Shadow Organization was able to walk openly on the streets without needing to hide their identities.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of the commoners, they showed no fear of the Dark Division.

"Please give this bouquet to Lord Aizen for me. I have graduated from the Ninja Academy and will soon be able to fight alongside him!"

The little girl said with a face full of longing.

Tenzo accepted the flowers, his nose stinging with tears. He couldn't bear to tell her the truth about Aizen's sacrifice, and simply nodded silently.

This little girl seems to be from the time when Lord Aizen was taking care of the orphanage...

What's your name?

Tianzang couldn't remember, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Perhaps only a true inheritor of the Will of Fire, like Lord Aizen, could clearly remember the names of every insignificant commoner.

The perfect Aizen was actually killed by Itachi Uchiha.

"Uchiha Itachi, no matter what, I will kill you!"

Tenzo turned his head, his icy gaze fixed on Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi Uchiha remained silent.

He wasn't afraid of the threat from the elite player Tenzo; he was just worried that Aizen's methods were too terrifying, to the point that he could even bewitch ordinary people.

Even if Lord Hiruzen clears my name, will I still be able to reintegrate into the village?

Just like the Uchiha clan back then, who made such great contributions to the village during the Fourth Shinobi World War, yet were still ostracized...

wrong!

It wasn't that they were being ostracized, but rather that the Uchiha clan was arrogant and unwilling to integrate into the village, constantly boasting about their clan's glory.

That's why they ended up being wiped out.

Uchiha Itachi trembled all over, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.

"How could I have such a thought?"

"It couldn't be that the village isolated the Uchiha clan; it was because of the Uchiha's arrogance!"

Uchiha Itachi's lips moved silently as he repeatedly murmured the same phrase before gradually calming down.

You don't feel pain until the stick hits you.

At that time, the immense pressure faced by the Uchiha clan rested on the shoulders of clan head Fugaku and several elders of the Uchiha clan.

The isolation policy, which began with the Second Hokage, involved relocating the Uchiha clan's territory to the outermost edge of the village.

It was another propaganda campaign that alienated the Uchiha clan, who controlled the police force, from the common people.

Fugaku Uchiha was considered a very peaceful dove.

He tried hard to find a way to integrate into Konoha, but kept hitting walls. First, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he led the Uchiha clan in a desperate fight, hoping to gain the village's trust by earning military merit.

However, the results were minimal.

They made several compromises until the Uchiha clan was squeezed to the point where they could retire.

The hawks of the Uchiha clan finally rose up and began plotting internal strife.

Young clan members like Itachi Uchiha only understood the tense relationship between the clan and the village, and that the Uchiha had to make judgments, but they had no idea that the Uchiha clan faced pressure from all sides.

In the end, Itachi Uchiha wielded the sword of justice, killed the entire Uchiha clan, stopped the internal strife, and protected Konoha.

I did what I thought was right.

The Uchiha clan deserved to die.

But now,

Similar pressure fell on Itachi Uchiha himself, and he began to waver.

He was clearly a hero who protected Konoha, and he had made such great sacrifices and contributions.

Aizen was clearly the culprit.

But why is my current situation so bad?

If it were revealed that he was the one who killed Aizen, the overwhelming public anger would engulf him, and he would probably have no choice but to commit suicide to stop the tide of anger.

But on what grounds?

Aizen was clearly the evil one!

Itachi Uchiha took a deep breath. He was unwilling and dared not admit that his current situation was similar to that of the Uchiha clan back then.

The Uchiha clan was evil back then, but I am innocent now.

Once the truth comes out, everything will be over.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, you rogue ninja from Kirigakure, stop here. You are not qualified to enter the Hokage Building."

Tenzo took out a string of chains and bound his hands, saying, "These are magic-suppressing chains. Most of your abilities will be sealed until Itachi Uchiha and the Hokage finish their meeting."

This kind of security measure is acceptable.

Kisame did not resist, letting the Shadow Organization members put shackles on him, and then he felt his four-dimensional attributes being suppressed.

In this state, even two or three elite players attacking together could kill me.

But judging from Itachi's confident demeanor, there shouldn't be any problems.

Just wait patiently.
