Chapter 217 Sasuke: Why did you keep me here? What's the difference between me and my parents?
Amaterasu is much more powerful than ordinary fire-style attacks, but it cannot kill people immediately. It requires continuous burning, even if this continuous burning does not take a particularly long time.
For example, Shimura Danzo was burned to death by Amaterasu, but that short time gave Uchiha Kenji enough time to deal with the situation.
As long as one hides in that mysterious space, even Amaterasu cannot burn it, because this involves the realm of space-time ninjutsu, a realm that even Itachi Uchiha is completely unaware of at present.
However, there is another possibility: that he used Izanagi.
When Shimura Danzo used Izanagi, Uchiha Kenji recognized him. Given that he also participated in the massacre of the Uchiha clan, he should have possessed quite a few Sharingan eyes.
After a brief analysis, Itachi Uchiha understood why his backup plan had failed; Kenji Uchiha's ability to save his life was truly first-rate.
Historically, he clearly knew too little information, so the contingency plan he left behind, though seemingly brilliant, failed to succeed.
If it's the latter, as Itachi Uchiha speculated, then it means that no matter what kind of backup plan he uses, he won't succeed.
Because Izanagi can distort unfavorable realities!
This made even Itachi Uchiha feel somewhat troubled.
Therefore, I must come up with a more reliable way to prevent Uchiha Sasuke from associating with Uchiha Kenji.
However, Itachi Uchiha has never thought of telling Sasuke Uchiha the truth. The truth he kept to himself was the root cause that ultimately led Sasuke Uchiha astray.
He still hadn't imagined that Uchiha Sasuke could possibly understand all of this through his own reason.
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha felt as if a volcano was erupting within him, his emotions running high.
Because he finally saw Itachi Uchiha die. Although many pieces of information had hinted at this before, he finally saw it with his own eyes today.
However, what followed was not ultimate pleasure, but a sense of loss, especially as many clues came together, he had a vague feeling that something was not right.
He is smart, not stupid. Although he often seems impulsive, he is actually quite intelligent.
He could even piece together a timeline from the information revealed in Kitahara Kaede's previous diaries.
He knew there must be a lot of information behind the truth of the entire Uchiha clan massacre, and that things might not have been as he had previously thought—that Itachi Uchiha single-handedly wiped out the Uchiha clan.
Things are probably much more complicated than he imagined.
This incident began on the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, when a member of the Uchiha clan named Kenji Uchiha raided the Fourth Hokage's wife's delivery site, resulting in the tragic deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife that night.
Later, because of the Sharingan that appeared in the Nine-Tails' eyes, the Uchiha clan was ostracized, which also coincided with the malice he occasionally felt from the villagers when he was a child.
Then came the Uchiha clan's attempt to rebel. Although he didn't remember many of the specific details, he had heard the clansmen's complaints before.
He even witnessed his own clansmen come to his door to force Itachi Uchiha to make a statement.
He used to hate those clansmen because of this, until later when he heard that Shisui had died and the clansmen were saying that Itachi Uchiha had killed him.
However, what he saw in Kitahara Kaede's diary video was completely different from what he had heard in the clan. Shisui did not die at the hands of Uchiha Itachi. Instead, after Shimura Danzo took his Mangekyou Sharingan, he entrusted the other Mangekyou Sharingan to Uchiha Itachi and then chose to commit suicide.
The story was completely different from the version he had first heard.
It even differs from the version revealed by Itachi Uchiha, who said that he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan after killing Shisui. However, the version in Kitahara Kaede's diary video is that he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan after witnessing Shisui's death.
Shisui entrusted Itachi Uchiha with the ideal of maintaining peace between the village and his clan.
In the end, for some unknown reason, the ending became that Itachi Uchiha massacred the entire clan, leaving only himself alive.
Even after he finally awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and sought revenge against Danzo, he could probably deduce enough information from Danzo's words and actions.
Contrary to popular belief, Itachi Uchiha was not the person he claimed to be, who killed his entire clan simply to measure his so-called worth.
With so much information laid out before him, how could he not see that Itachi Uchiha had been ordered by the Konoha leadership to massacre his clan, and that he had chosen the village over his clan?
He chose to remain true to one of his duties as a ninja.
Everything is already quite clear, including Kenji Uchiha, who participated in the massacre of the Uchiha clan alongside him.
Who is he?
Is it really the legendary Uchiha Madara?
Why do they hate Konoha and the Uchiha clan so much that they are determined to destroy the Uchiha clan and Konoha?
He also really wanted to ask Itachi Uchiha why he chose to spare his own life after killing the entire clan.
What makes me special compared to my parents that makes him want to spare my life?
"Uchiha Itachi!!"
Sasuke Uchiha thought about Itachi Uchiha's last silent sentence in the video. Others might not have noticed it, but surely he could have noticed it himself?
He knew that phrase all too well; he could recognize it just by looking at the lip movements.
"Forgive me, Sasuke, this is the last time."
He had heard these words countless times since he was a child. Every time Itachi Uchiha said these words, he would leave in a hurry because he had a mission. At that time, he would always get jealous and angry.
Sasuke Uchiha is in great pain right now because the more he knows, the less he can maintain his purest hatred. Things are more complicated than he imagined, involving the village, the Uchiha clan, and the entire Uchiha family.
He wanted to blame Itachi Uchiha, but Itachi Uchiha now seemed to be acting on orders from the higher-ups in Konoha. He didn't know if the Third Hokage was among those who gave the orders, but at least someone named Danzo Shimura was.
According to Kitahara Kaede's diary, he had done all sorts of bad things and was worse than a dog.
"Dog Danzo!"
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but growl in a low voice.
But if we stand from the village's perspective, are we wrong?
The news of the Uchiha clan's planned rebellion was almost common knowledge, and even he, a child, could sense the atmosphere of discontent within the clan at the time.
It was reasonable for the village to suppress the Uchiha clan's rebellion ahead of schedule, but he still harbored resentment. Was it possible that all members of the Uchiha clan were involved in the rebellion?
Do they all deserve to die?
They even wanted to force Itachi Uchiha to do it himself.
He even suddenly thought of something: could it be that the reward Itachi Uchiha wanted for personally killing his entire clan was to protect him?
He couldn't help but think in this direction. He wasn't stupid. All of this was based on the fact that the Uchiha clan planned to rebel. Since they had rebelled, they became an uncontrollable factor for the village, so it was natural to want to wipe them out.
If such a strategy was decided, why was he the only one left behind? It couldn't be because they were reluctant to part with him, could it?
There must be something he doesn't know about.
Combined with Kitahara Kaede's earlier statement about Itachi holding back in the fight, everything becomes clear: Itachi never intended to kill him.
Although the video showed that both he and Itachi Uchiha were giving it their all, and Itachi Uchiha didn't seem to be holding back much, well, actually he wasn't. Uchiha Ten's Susanoo was never used. If he had used it earlier, the outcome would have been decided long ago.
He had absolutely no need to compete with himself in illusion techniques, hidden weapons, taijutsu, or ninjutsu, as if this was not a life-or-death battle between brothers, but an examination for graduating from the ninja academy.
More importantly, his future self carried the cursed mark left by Orochimaru. Even his future self didn't know that Orochimaru was still alive and could still escape, but Itachi Uchiha had foreseen this, and he was even waiting for this moment.
Using the Totsuka Blade he had prepared beforehand, he completely took Orochimaru into that dreamlike world, thus thoroughly eliminating the last hidden danger for himself.
If Itachi Uchiha really wanted to kill me and take my Sharingan, he could have done so when his physical condition was better, when he could have used the power of the Akatsuki, and when I had not yet grown up.
Not to mention that Itachi Uchiha said that two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan could be fused and evolved into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but he himself only had three tomoe. How could he possibly help him?
It was all just an excuse.
My future self must have known something, which is why it triggered such great anger when Shimura Danzo belittled Itachi. Things I couldn't understand back then, I understand now.
I must have been very angry back then, and I probably even betrayed the village. This betrayal was a real thing, not just the defection I made when I followed Orochimaru.
Defection can be explained, but betraying the village and actively intercepting and killing Konoha's 5.5 Hokage cannot be explained by defection alone.
In reality, Danzo was the original Sixth Hokage of Konoha, but he became the so-called 5.5th Hokage because he was intercepted and killed by Danzo himself.
He now also harbors hatred for the village, hating its excessive oppression and for forcing Itachi Uchiha to personally annihilate the clan.
