Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

"All right."

Muzan stood up from the tree branch. "I'm here to tell you this."

Meanwhile, Obito was updating Sasuke with information.

So, let's help Naruto out.

"Muzan!"

Naruto cried out, his eyes pleading, "Come back to Konoha with us, Muzan! Please!"

Kakashi and Sakura both looked at Naruto in surprise, a pang of sadness in their hearts.

Muzan smiled and disappeared from Naruto's sight.

Naruto's shoulders slumped.

Chapter 524 Sasuke has gone mad!!!

Leaf.

The Hokage's office.

A suffocating silence was spreading.

Kakashi looked at Rei Amamiya, who was standing silently in front of him, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

After learning the truth about Itachi Uchiha, his biggest worry was Rei Amamiya.

He was afraid that Rei Amamiya wouldn't be able to accept the truth.

"Is Itachi dead?"

"I asked Amamiya Rei."

Naruto nodded.

Sakura added cautiously, "The Akatsuki members have been observing Sasuke and Itachi's battle, and it was they who passed on the news of Itachi's death to us."

Rei Amamiya pondered, "The truth about Itachi was told to you by Muzan. Muzan was by Sasuke's side, and he was also... a member of the Eternal Bliss Cult. Is Itachi really dead?"

Rei Amamiya looked at them intently.

Sakura and Naruto were taken aback.

Shikamaru's voice came from the side: "Does the Hokage mean that the Eternal Bliss Cult may have resurrected Uchiha Itachi, and that Uchiha Itachi has become an apostle of the Eternal Bliss Cult?"

Amamiya nodded.

Sakura and the others' expressions changed.

It has to be said that this possibility is very high.

"Itachi might still be alive..."

Rei Amamiya murmured softly.

He looked up at the group of people in front of him.

"You must be tired from the journey. Go and get some rest."

Rei Amamiya didn't say anything more about the truth regarding Itachi Uchiha.

However, the ninjas in the Hokage's office could all sense the Hokage's changing emotions.

Naruto and the others exchanged a glance and slowly left the Hokage's office.

Kakashi was the only one left.

Rei Amamiya looked at Kakashi, who was still worried, and reminded him, "Kakashi-senpai, let me have some peace and quiet."

Kakashi was taken aback.

He looked at Rei Amamiya.

Rei Amamiya is no longer the girl he remembers.

"it is good."

Kakashi felt a pang of sadness and left the Hokage's office.

The door to the Hokage's office closed.

The gloom on Amamiya Rei's face vanished instantly, and she leaned back in her chair, carefree.

Judging by the timeline, Sasuke should have accepted the truth about Itachi by this point.

We'll see what choice Sasuke makes this time.

……

The setting sun, like blood, spilled across the sea.

Sasuke stood on a rock by the sea, gazing at the distant horizon where the sea and sky met.

His vision blurred intermittently.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face.

My brother's face kept appearing in my mind.

The memories of the past are so vivid, as if they happened just yesterday.

Shuiyue and the other two stood five meters behind him, watching his back.

Karin looked distressed, her eyes filled with heartache.

What exactly happened to Sasuke?

She knows nothing.

After Sasuke returned to their side, he remained silent, immersing himself in his own world.

Shuiyue stroked her chin, looking at Sasuke's retreating figure with a scrutinizing gaze: "Something's wrong. Sasuke shouldn't be like this after getting his revenge!"

He looked around, but couldn't see Muzan anywhere.

"Muzan definitely knows something! Where is he?"

Shuiyue asked.

Jugo honestly shook his head: "I don't know."

Mizuki glanced at Karin again.

Karin had blocked out all the sounds around her; her whole heart was focused on Sasuke.

Asking Karin is pointless, Suigetsu rolled her eyes.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in Yu Guangzhong's mind.

Shuiyue was startled.

Upon closer inspection, wasn't this Muzan, whom he had been searching for?

"Muzan?"

Suigetsu jumped to Muzan's side in surprise, looking him up and down. "Where have you been?"

Muzan smiled and glanced at him, then asked, "How is Sasuke now?"

Shuiyue's face darkened: "Hey! You have to answer my question first!"

Muzan seemed not to hear, and looked toward Sasuke standing by the sea.

Sasuke finally cried enough.

His voice, carried by the sea breeze, reached Muzan's ears.

"From today onwards, the Snake Squad is officially renamed..."

Sasuke looked up at the eagles soaring in the distance, "Eagle Squad."

Karin blinked. Whether it's the Hawk Squad or the Bear Squad, as long as she can stay by Sasuke's side, that's fine!

Sasuke turned around, his gaze falling on Muzan. He wiped the tears from his face with the back of his hand and said, word by word, "Team Hawk's mission is... to destroy Konoha!"

"what?"

Shuiyue's eyes widened.

His gaze darted back and forth between Muzan and Sasuke.

"Alright, destroy Konoha, destroy...what!"

Karin was halfway through her sentence when she heard what Sasuke was saying, and she suddenly woke up. She looked at Sasuke and asked, "Why...why so suddenly?"

Jugo seemed to ignore him, quietly watching Sasuke ahead.

Sasuke didn't answer Karin's question, but instead looked at Muzan.

Muzan understood the meaning in Sasuke's eyes, and he smiled at Sasuke: "Don't worry, I won't interfere in your affairs. Whatever you want to do, I won't stop you."

Suigetsu couldn't understand what they were saying at all. He moved closer to Muzan and said, "Hey! Why is Sasuke suddenly going to destroy Konoha? You must know something!"

Muzan ignored Suigetsu's words.

Sasuke continued, "In order to destroy Konoha, we will temporarily join the Akatsuki organization and borrow their power."

Shuiyue's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

What exactly is Sasuke saying?

How could a person suddenly undergo such a drastic change?

"it is good!"

Since Sasuke doesn't want to talk about it, Karin won't ask.

No matter what Sasuke does, she will stay by his side.

"Can you please not ignore what I'm saying!"

Shuiyue shouted from the side.

Muzan finally turned to look at Suigetsu. He knew the truth about Itachi that Sasuke couldn't say himself, but as Sasuke's teammates, Suigetsu and the others couldn't remain ignorant.

Muzan succinctly stated, "Itachi Uchiha's massacre of the clan was a secret mission assigned by the Konoha leadership. This not only prevented the Uchiha clan from launching a coup and causing internal strife in Konoha, but also protected Sasuke."

Shuiyue, who had been jumping up and down, immediately fell silent.

He glanced in Sasuke's direction and swallowed hard.

No wonder Sasuke was crying so much just now!

The person she had gone through so much trouble to kill was not her enemy, but her brother who was protecting her.

Anyone would break down.

Hearing this, Karin felt even more distressed.

Sasuke continued to turn his back to them, as if he hadn't heard Muzan's words.

"But the Hokage of Konoha isn't yours..."

Shuiyue turned to look at Muzan.

After leaving the water prison and following Sasuke, he also learned a lot about Muzan.

"I have no connection with Konoha."

"Muzan said."

Shuiyue couldn't help but laugh: "I get it! You're heartless and don't recognize your own family, right?"

Shuiyue could no longer laugh, and he could no longer speak.

A vibrant red camellia bloomed from its mouth.

Shuiyue bowed to Muzan, her eyes pleading.

Muzan turned a blind eye.

Sasuke, who was ahead, continued, "Next, we're going to Kumogakure."

Seeing that Shuiyue was about to suffocate from not speaking, the camellia finally disappeared from his mouth.
