Listening to Sasuke's suggestion, Kaito shook his head.

"Even if Itachi's deteriorating body can still produce children," he looked seriously at Sasuke, "how can his offspring live peacefully with yours, given that he is the one who killed our clan?"

"What does it matter?" Sasuke seemed confused. "That was all Itachi's fault! The children are innocent."

"We can treat innocent children equally," Kaito affirmed, "but what about when we're no longer around?"

"What do you mean?" Sasuke still didn't understand.

Kaito smiled helplessly, but his words were still cold as he spoke the truth.

"Even if you were young at the time, you should know that when there are more clan members, conflicts arise. Even within the same clan, factions form. Your descendants and Itachi's would inevitably oppose each other for various reasons."

Seeing the wavering expression on Sasuke's face, he continued, "Itachi's actions cannot be hidden. To the Uchiha clan, his descendants are born with original sin and cannot establish themselves within the clan."

Sasuke's expression completely darkened. He lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, and said with a choke, "Then, as Itachi's brother, am I also carrying original sin?"

"In the eyes of the world, the relationship between brothers and the relationship between father and son is different," Izuna said coldly. "Only children inherit everything from their father, not brothers."

"Father..." Sasuke said softly, "My father didn't resist; he was also a failed clan leader, and I..."

"That's why I proposed Kaito as the new clan leader," Izuna didn't console him. "Your father may have failed, but compared to Itachi, who personally killed our clan members, he was just a bit confused."

"Itachi..." Sasuke clenched his fists, "What should I do..."

"Haven't you already decided?" Kaito said. "Since I've given you the authority to deal with Itachi, you should do what you think is right."

"I don't know..." Sasuke's tone was somewhat dazed.

Originally decided, his thoughts wavered again.

Should he kill Itachi to avenge his parents and clan?

Knowing everything now, he wasn't sure if he could bring himself to kill that man.

But letting Itachi go was impossible; his heart still hated him.

He didn't want to forgive him, nor did he want him to have an easy time.

"Don't worry, Sasuke," Chiri sighed, hugging Sasuke and patting his head. "We've just told you everything; you can take your time to think about how to decide. You'll find the answer eventually."

"Okay." After a while, Sasuke responded in a muffled voice.

Kaito laughed, "Such a spoiled child, little Sasuke."

"No, I'm not!"

Sasuke's face turned completely red, burying himself in Chiri's embrace like an ostrich.

"All right, you're not." Kaito stood up, comforting, "As Chiri-senpai said, we won't force you to make a choice; you still have time."

As he walked towards the secret room's door, he said, "At least until you awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, I won't let you leave."

"Don't think too much." Izuna roughly grabbed Sasuke's collar, pulling him out of Chiri's embrace, "Come train with me!"

"I can walk on my own!" Sasuke completely lost his temper.

As soon as Kaito opened the secret room's door, Izuna dragged Sasuke and dashed out.

Kaito shook his head and said to Chiri, "Sasuke is still a bit too sensitive."

Chiri adjusted her collar and stood up, "Itachi was too arrogant, forcefully imposing his decision on Sasuke, giving such a young child so many painful memories."

"While I roughly understand his thoughts, I can't fully comprehend them," Kaito walked out of the secret room, "I can't understand Fugaku's thoughts either."

Chiri followed him, closing the door behind her.

"Humans can't fully understand each other," she said softly. "What's already happened doesn't need much thought."

Kaito casually pulled out a talisman and pasted it on the door. A faint blue light flashed, and the wooden door turned into a stone wall.

"True. But if it were me, given the strength of the Uchiha clan at the time, even if we couldn't completely rival Konoha, we had enough leverage to negotiate."

He sneered and continued, "Itachi feared that the Uchiha clan and Konoha would mutually destroy each other. But weren't the Konoha leaders more afraid? That's why they urged Itachi to take action and counterbalance Fugaku."

Chiri said, "Itachi was still too young, but his decision was also influenced by Obito pretending to be Madara."

Kaito shook his head, "That's the price of ignorance. If one studies, they can understand who Uchiha Madara was. If that man wanted to destroy the Uchiha, he wouldn't hide his identity."

He said with a complex tone, "Although, according to Obito's memories, Madara did a lot of hidden things in his old age, he would never do so when facing the Uchiha."

"It seems you look down on both Itachi and Obito," Chiri smiled, "but you seem to have a good impression of Madara?"

"Yes, that's correct." Kaito said matter-of-factly, "Though all three were fooled, I still admire Madara's early spirit."

"Too bad he didn't preserve his dignity in his later years," he sighed casually. "As for Itachi and Obito, there's nothing about them that I find commendable."

In front of Chiri, Kaito was always relaxed.

Just like when he was a child, he spoke a lot.

"Obito is just an overly weak person, always running from reality and deceiving himself. Although I've marveled at his significant change, his nature hasn't really changed."

He couldn't stop talking.

"His heart is still as fragile as a child's. Compared to Kakashi and that girl Rin, who were also Minato's students, his mental strength is far inferior."

"Itachi is a typical case of the consequences of pushing a child too hard. Taking a four-year-old child to a brutal battlefield, I don't know what my foolish brother-in-law was thinking."

Chiri also disagreed, "Fugaku lacked prestige when he first became the clan leader and was too anxious."

Kaito nodded vigorously, "You remember, Chiri-senpai; I complained to you about this back then. Unfortunately, no one listened to my opinion at the time, and my sister always indulged Fugaku."

His tone remained displeased, "Although Itachi gained the title of a genius, he lost much more because of it."

"Why did you leave Itachi's fate in Sasuke's hands?" Chiri asked.

"You already know the answer," Kaito smiled, "because I don't care. Besides, knowing my sister, Mikoto, she could accept Itachi dying at Sasuke's hands. If it were me, it would definitely leave a knot in her heart."

"The relationship between siblings, once the sister has a family, changes," Chiri patted Kaito's back.

"I can understand my sister Mikoto's thoughts," Kaito said. "So regarding Itachi, I respect her wishes."

Kaito stepped into the sunlight and stretched lazily.

"Thank you for listening to me ramble, Chiri-senpai."

Chiri gently shook her head, "You can talk to me about anything, just like when you were a child."

Kaito smiled genuinely at that moment.

"Well then, I'm off to study the Divine Tree."

"Good luck."
