Uchiha's Counterattack

Why did things become like this?

Where exactly is the flaw exposed?

From the first day he was imprisoned in the dungeon, Itachi had been thinking about these two questions in his mind.

His disguise should be perfect. Even during the period after Shisui's death, his inner depression and despair about the relationship between his family and the village made him on the verge of losing control of his emotions.

But even so, Itachi concealed his true emotions very well, swallowing his dissatisfaction and resentment, and continued to play the disgusting spy role required by his father and family. As for his true thoughts in his heart, even

Even his mother, who was closest to him, never noticed.

"You unfilial son!!"

That night, my father's roar containing disappointment and sadness seemed to still echo in my mind...

It was the first time since I was born that I saw that indifferent father showing such a fragile expression. It was like someone had stabbed me in the heart, it hurt to the depths of my soul.

If my mother knew about this... I don't know what she would think.

You'll probably be disappointed in me too.

And Sasuke...

From now on, you won’t call me brother anymore.

"Why on earth did it become like this..."

Itachi collapsed on the ground, facing upwards and looking at the dark stone slab above his head.

In the dark environment, a strange face vaguely appeared in front of me.

——Hello, my name is Xia Nan.

"...Is it you?"

This guy is someone I haven't seen a few times in the family.

His childish voice didn't seem to be much older than mine, but when we first met, that man seemed very nervous. His eyes looked at him as if he were looking at a monster, with a cold and deep feeling.

I was very wary, and I was very forceful when shaking hands. It was not like a deliberate demonstration, but a state where the muscles were tense and unable to relax due to excessive tension.

Looking back now, this guy who was full of flaws and nervousness at the first meeting should be the reason behind all this.

That kind of inexplicable hostility and vigilance, he should have known his secret for a long time, so he showed that kind of reaction. But he was careless and failed to see through the nervous face. The conspiracy behind it, the result was

The current miserable situation.

"Uchiha... Xia Nan."

Itachi muttered the name silently.

This mysterious guy who suddenly appeared from nowhere has almost no reputation in the family, and has never had any interaction with their family. Even the Uchiha who only showed up once when Shisui died -

—I can’t understand him.

Looking back now, the conversation that night has exposed many problems. My father, who had been almost unaware of everything he did before, seemed to suddenly know the relationship between him and the village, and also knew that although he was

A double agent, but one who prefers Konoha's stance on the issue.

On the other hand, when he was talking to his father, he unexpectedly lost control of his emotions and said some words that he would never say on a normal day. This confirmed his suspicions in his father's mind, which eventually led to the outbreak of the battle.

What happened to me that day? Suddenly, I felt an inexplicable irritation. Many things that were pressing in my heart came to mind one by one, and finally settled on the face of Shisui before he died.

With blood and tears flowing down the corners of his eyes, Shisui dug out his last eye in despair and gave it to him. Whenever he tried to understand his desperate mood at that time, Itachi felt as if something was inside his heart.

A huge rock pressed down on him, making him unable to breathe, and the uncontrollable sadness and tears would flow out...

——Shisui shouldn't have died like this. This decadent family has no value for him to sacrifice.

This idea suddenly appeared and deeply affected my subsequent emotions and concepts.

But if I calm down and think about it now, maybe this is some kind of anger.

In response to Shisui's death, he vented his resentment on the family, and finally transferred all his anger to his father, who was the clan leader.

"...I see...I am angry..."

Itachi slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly.

but……

If we trace all this back to its source, it seems that the problem still arises with Uchiha Natsunan.

In addition to his identity as a spy, there was also the fact that when he showed his kaleidoscope for the first time that day, even his father shouted in shock.

But Uchiha Natsunan, who was standing next to him, had the same expression as usual from beginning to end. In addition to being more nervous and alert, he didn't seem surprised that he had a kaleidoscope.

The situation was so tense at that time that I didn't have time to think carefully, but my thoughts were interrupted by the Uchiha Guardian Ninja who came to attack. But now that I think about it, Xia Nan's sense of disobedience was extremely strong.

It's like you already know everything, so you won't be surprised by any surprises that happen.

If this is the case, it seems to explain why his father suddenly knew so many things, and even called him over for a confrontation late at night.

But there was a bit of Itachi misunderstanding here. In fact, the reason Itachi was called over in the first place was that Fugaku wanted to verify Xia Nan's information about spies and Konoha Village's plan to destroy Uchiha from Itachi's body. But later, he learned from Xia Nan that

When he learned that Itachi had betrayed Uchiha and chose to side with Konoha, Fugaku changed his strategy and began to conduct research on Itachi.

What happened later was as mentioned before. Uchiha Itachi thought that the information had been leaked, and he lost control of his emotions and had a head-on conflict with Fugaku, venting his dissatisfaction with the family, his disgust with the clan's excessive arrogance, and his hatred of Uchiha.

The idea that the Bo clan is ashamed of planning to launch an armed coup for "self-interest".

What is a bit interesting here is that, regardless of the original historical trajectory or the current timeline, Itachi always seems to consider what is wrong with his family, but does not put himself in the Uchiha's shoes and consider it more comprehensively.

For example, think about the future for all Uchiha, how to let the Uchiha family that has been "unable to breathe" breathe again. Or share the worries of his father, Uchiha Fugaku, so that Konoha's top brass will not dare to target Uchiha so blatantly.

Waves are fine.

But Itachi didn't know why, and he never did this from beginning to end. Whether in the original timeline or the new timeline, Itachi seemed to have locked Konoha's position inexplicably, and never did it.

Really consider things from the perspective of the family.

Perhaps this was influenced by Shisui? After all, Uchiha Shisui's ancestor was Uchiha, and Uchiha was once a companion of the Third Generation and others. One of the disciples of the Second Hokage was deeply affected by the will of fire.

.

So from this point of view, the thoughts of Uchiha realm may affect the next generation, which means that Shisui's thinking mode will be more biased towards Konoha Village.

Uchiha Itachi and Shisui are close friends, and their relationship is so good that they talk about everything. The two met when Itachi was about 4-7 years old, so it is not surprising that Itachi was influenced by Shisui's thinking. It's a pity.

What's more, Itachi was too young at that time, and his three views were influenced by overly mature thoughts before they were correctly formed, which led to a distorted character.

But that's Itachi's own problem, and it's not a reason that can be forgiven.
