Chapter 93 : Itachi

Sasuke couldn't stop thinking about what Shika had said. The possibility that Itachi might come to the village stirred a whirlwind of emotions within him. Even though Shika had mentioned it was just a suspicion, Sasuke couldn't get the thought out of his head. It consumed him, keeping him awake and restless.

'Annoying… now its in my head.' Sasuke mutters with clear irritation.

Unable to sit still any longer, Sasuke left his home and roamed the streets of the village, hoping that the cool air might help clear his mind.

'There are others who are responsible for what happened, if what he said is true, then I kill them too. Starting with Itachi, I will kill everyone who has a part in killing my clan.' Sasuke face even though he was just taking a stroll, wasn't at ease, emotions inside him were violently rotating inside him. Not sure what to do, there was no let out for him.

That anger that he felt, for that long has become the only source of motivation for him.

However, after Shika's revealing his identity, his ideology and goals were changing. Shika was a Uchiha like him, that Sharingan was a proof, so he at least believe him somewhat. More than that, Shika was right now stronger than him. Maybe that was the real reason of his irritation. Shika beat him while he wasn't using his Sharingan. While Sasuke himself was getting help with his Sharingan and the curse mark.

Then there was also the comparison between his Chidori and that water attack from Shika. Kabuto survive his attack but Shika's attack didn't only kill Kabuto but even one more person who come in the line of his attack.

But then, when all this things were rotating in his mind something caught his eye. In the distance, he spotted Kakashi and Guy following two figures, both wearing black cloaks with red clouds on them. The sight immediately put Sasuke on high alert.

In any other case, he might not have cared that much but right now, he was wary of any outsider who visit the village.

His heart raced as he decided to follow them from a distance, staying hidden in the shadows. As he trailed them, he recognized Kakashi's tense stance, his Sharingan gaze focused on the two strangers. Guy, too, was unusually serious, his typical upbeat demeanour replaced by one of caution. Sasuke's instincts screamed at him: something wasn't right.

The group eventually stopped in a place with river nearby. Kakashi moved closer to the two strangers, speaking in a low but firm voice. "I know who you are," Kakashi said, his eyes narrowed, focused on the taller figure with long swrod on his back and had shark like features on his face. "Kisame. What are you doing in the village?"

But Kisame didn't say anything, it was the other person who replied.

"Its been a long time, Kakashi…" Said the man standing beside Kisame, slowly took out his hats and a pair of blood shot eyes were revealed to everyone.

Sasuke's blood ran cold seeing those eyes.

"Itachi Uchiha…" Kakashi immediately open his Sharingan and was on guard.

The man turned, his face still shadowed by the cloak, but there was no mistaking those eyes. The Sharingan. It was him—Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's brother, and the one responsible for the massacre of their clan.

Itachi spoke in a calm, almost indifferent tone. "I have no interest in this village. I am here for something else. Step aside, Kakashi. This doesn't concern you."

Kisame, the other cloaked figure, grinned widely, gripping the handle of his enormous sword, Samehada. "Yeah, why don't you just let us pass? We're not here to start a fight… unless you're looking for one."

Kakashi didn't move, his hand twitching slightly toward the pouch on his belt. "Do you really think that you can just come back to the village and move around like nothing happened. You are a S rank missing nine Itachi, but that doesn't mean you can barge in Konoha like this." Kakashi said while both him and Guy were getting ready to fight.

Itachi's eyes slowly shifted to Kakashi's. "You won't stop me. Not with your current strength." His Sharingan swirled, casting a genjutsu before Kakashi could react. Kakashi's body stiffened, and for a moment, he seemed trapped in place.

Watching from the shadows, Sasuke's anger boiled over. He couldn't believe it—Itachi was right there.

Without thinking, Sasuke leapt from his hiding spot and charged straight at Itachi. "Itachi!!" he screamed, his voice echoing as he launched a Chidori, crackling with lightning, directly at his brother.

Kakashi and Guy's eyes widened in shock, but Itachi simply turned his head to look at Sasuke, his face as calm as ever. In an instant, Itachi dodged the attack, sidestepping Sasuke's strike with ease. The Chidori hit the ground, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, his eyes locked onto Itachi's. "I'll kill you, Itachi! You and everyone who was involved in the extinction of the clan" Sasuke shouted.

Itachi stared at Sasuke, his expression unreadable. But what Sasuke said was already making him alarmed. "So, you've gotten stronger, little brother." His voice was emotionless as if Sasuke's rage meant nothing to him. "But it's still not enough."

Itachi wanted to know why Sasuke think that there are more involved but he didn't had time right now.

With a swift movement, Itachi appeared in front of Sasuke and grabbed his wrist, twisting it just enough to make Sasuke drop his Chidori. Sasuke's body froze as Itachi's Sharingan locked onto his, trapping him in a powerful genjutsu.

Suddenly, Sasuke found himself back in the Uchiha compound, surrounded by the bodies of his family. The memories of that night came flooding back, the screams, the blood—Itachi standing over them, his eyes cold and unfeeling.

Sasuke screamed, trying to break free from the genjutsu, but it was too powerful. His mind was drowning in the images of that night, the trauma resurfacing with brutal force.

Just under few second, Sasuke was unconscious and droppped down on the floor.

Kakashi acted fast and catch him. Both Kakashi and Guy stood in front of him both Kisame and Itachi. Situation was getting worst.
