It's All Naruto Uzumaki's Fault

"Sasuke defected, not considered defecting."

"Itachi is back, but not considered to be back."

In Hokage's office.

Tsunade rubbed her temples with a headache, and there were countless slots in his heart that he wanted to vomit.

After experiencing the previous Naruto incident, Konoha finally recovered a little, and now there was another big incident.

Fortunately, the relevant information had not been leaked yet.

But one could imagine what kind of reaction his beloved disciple Sakura would have when she found out.

She was the only one left from Team 7.

Her companions and Sensei all left Konoha.

This was too dramatic.

"At least, Sasuke did not join Seireitei." Jiraiya sighed.

"As long as Naruto declared war on Shinobi world, Sasuke will be forced to join our side."

"This is a good news." Tsunade sighed and couldn't help but frown.

"I don't know how Sandaime and Danzo, those old men, could have such a dark heart and died so easily. Now they left such a big stall for me to clean up. I shouldn't have left Konoha, I should have directly fought them." Tsunade said angrily and could not help but sigh again and again.

"The current Uchiha Clan is dead in name only."

"By the way, how is Uchiha Itachi?" Jiraiya asked.

Although Sasuke left, Itachi's return was still good for Konoha.

Compared to the unstable and possible betrayal of Sasuke, Itachi, who was stupid and loyal to Konoha, was obviously easier to control.

However, Sasuke had a high upper limit!

Sasuke, who had not yet transformed, could defeat Itachi, let alone the current Sasuke.

Moreover, no one was able to guarantee that Itachi's heart would be further distorted after experiencing so much.

Although the unknown nature was great, the medical treatment that should be carried out still had to continue.

His body is already riddled with holes. These injuries are not caused by fighting with Sasuke. Instead, they are accumulated over the years. Ordinary people have long been dragged to death by injuries. It is hard to imagine how he dragged such a body to fight with Sasuke. Tsunade could not help but sigh.

As long as he could cure Itachi's internal injuries and transplant Sharingan, Itachi's ability would definitely surpass Kage-rank's, and his potential might even surpass Sasuke's.

Hearing Tsunade's words, Jiraiya was shocked by Itachi's strength.

It was hard to imagine that the previous Itachi was actually a disabled person.

From the looks of it, Sasuke might not be able to defeat the Itachi at his peak!

One must know that Sasuke had been trained by himself and Orochimaru.

One super Kage-rank, and the other, although he had left Konoha, he was also Seireitei's super Kage-rank. Perhaps Konoha had benefited from this disaster.

"As long as we train Itachi well, Konoha will have a pillar of support in the future." Jiraiya muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Tsunade suddenly had a strange look on his face. He said, "Jiraiya, you don't want to take Uchiha Itachi as a disciple, do you?"

"If that can make Itachi feel a sense of belonging to Konoha..."

"No, please don't accept disciples!" Tsunade interrupted Jiraiya.

"Why? Am I, Jiraiya, unworthy?" Jiraiya was confused.

"No, I don't want Uchiha Itachi to defect." Tsunade said with a black line.

...

Soon after, in Konoha's hospital.

Itachi woke up from his coma. His whole body felt a slight pain and a sense of restraint. His body seemed to be wrapped in something.

He opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of Snow Haku.

"Is this a hospital in Konoha?" Smelling the smell of disinfectant, Itachi turned his head and looked around the room in confusion.

He wanted to get up, but found that his entire body was wrapped in bandages, so he gave up.

Chakra's body was full of energy, and he had a cool feeling. Presumably, his internal injuries had mostly recovered.

Konoha's medical level was still very high.

"Where is Sasuke?" Itachi tried to recall, but he remembered Sasuke's black corpse.

His cute little brother was already dead.

All the plans he had done were useless.

Itachi could not help but feel sorrow in his heart. His eyes turned into the shape of eternal Mangekyō Sharingan as they slowly circulated.

"This power is..." He was stunned and subconsciously touched his eyes.

Only then did he realize that everything in his line of sight was so clear.

Because this was the combination of his younger brother and his own eyes.

The words that Sasuke once said echoed in his mind: "You are now Uchiha's last clansman, and you carry the hope of Uchiha's glory and revival. So you can't die so ugly. Even if you have to kneel or crawl, you have to live on."

But.

What was the point of Uchiha without Sasuke?

Itachi lay on the bed with an ashen face, tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

"You are awake."

At this time, the door was opened, and Jiraiya and Tsunade walked into the ward.

"Lord Hokage, Lord Jiraiya."

"Don't move. I will check you first." Tsunade stopped Itachi from getting up and began to examine him.

A moment later, he said with satisfaction, "Your recovery speed is very fast. I think you can remove the bandage tomorrow."

"Lord Hokage, Lord Jiraiya, where is Sasuke?" Itachi could not help but ask.

"Don't worry, Sasuke is not dead." Jiraiya's words made Itachi happy, but the next sentence made Itachi change his expression.

"He has left Konoha."

"Leave? Where did he go?"

"I don't know, but I can be sure that it is not Seireitei." Jiraiya sighed.

"We hid so much. It is Konoha who is sorry. It is understandable that he chose to leave Konoha."

Itachi's expression became sad, his heart was muddled, and his mind was filled with the words "he has left Konoha".

Unexpectedly, Sasuke still went to that step.

"Did he say anything?" Itachi asked.

"As you heard before, he gave you the eyes and asked us to help you transplant them. In this way, we can cut off the bonds with Konoha." Jiraiya said, "Konoha needs you very much now, Itachi."

"I know." Itachi rubbed his eyes and his expression gradually became calm.

"I will atone for my sins with my life. I will be the last person to revive Uchiha."

Such thoughts were great.

But a reality problem was in front of them.

"How do you want to revitalize Uchiha?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"Theoretically speaking, it should be giving birth." The corners of Jiraiya's mouth twitched.

"This is a big project."

A few days later, Itachi was successfully discharged from the hospital.

Using Henge no Jutsu as a fake identity that Tsunade had specially forged for him, he walked on the streets and looked at everything that had happened. He was filled with emotions.

Due to his sensitive identity, he could not reveal his true face to others.

It has been almost ten years since we last entered Konoha.

In a few years, things have changed.

After several major events, Konoha has changed greatly.

Many shops have closed.

Itachi saw many familiar faces.

It was just that there was hatred and sadness hidden behind everyone's smiles.

This reminded Itachi of the scene of Sasuke digging out his eyeballs that day.

Under Naruto's bewitchment, Sasuke actually had doubts about Uchiha's bloodline.

In Itachi's eyes, this was a completely different path.

He had planned so many things so that Sasuke could see the secret of Sharingan.

The Mangekyō Sharingan who had awakened the Eternal.

No one knew better than him how powerful Sharingan was.

But now.

Sasuke took the initiative to give up the bloodline that others longed for and embraced the ethereal Reiatsu of Hollow.

All of this was Uzumaki Naruto's fault

"Uzumaki Naruto!" Itachi clenched his fists in his sleeves and muttered to himself hatefully.
