Chapter 150 : Itachi Uchiha's Review Completed!!

[This is the life story of Uchiha Itachi.]

[Now, let's talk a bit more about this character.]

[Uchiha Itachi, after realizing that the ideal of world peace could never be achieved, chose to be abandoned by the world.]

[He protected peace amidst misunderstandings and accusations, fulfilling his duties as a ninja, quietly taking up Shisui's torch and walking alone in the darkness.]

Shisui: "This torch... I might as well not have it!"

[Looking back at Uchiha Itachi's life, it is undoubtedly a painful history full of struggles.]

[He couldn't resolve the Uchiha coup peacefully on his own, nor could he guide Sasuke with love and trust.]

Deceased Uchiha clan members: "Right, right, he couldn't solve it peacefully, so he killed all of us, leaving only his brother. Ah~ spit!"

[The Itachi from before he was brought back by Reanimation Jutsu, whether perfect or not, could at least be considered a true ninja.]

[As a ninja, his greatest achievement was solving the Reanimation Jutsu issue during the Fourth Great Ninja War, retiring successfully, leaving no trace behind.]

[One phrase embodies Itachi's core belief: no matter how dark or full of conflict the village is, I am Uchiha Itachi of Konoha.]

"Ha, well said. He's Uchiha Itachi of Konoha, not Uchiha Itachi of the Uchiha clan."

Sasuke sneered, clearly dismissing the statement.

On the other side, Jiraiya and the Third Hokage felt regret for Itachi.

Jiraiya: "Uchiha Itachi... What a pity. He could have had a bright future."

Third Hokage: "Yes, if not for the radicals in the Uchiha clan, Itachi wouldn't have ended up on this path."

Jiraiya glanced at his teacher.

What he actually wanted to say wasn't this.

The village's tight defense against the Uchiha clan, and Itachi being an Uchiha, was his original sin.

Even without the radicals pushing the entire Uchiha clan into conflict, Itachi wouldn't have risen to the village's higher ranks.

At best, he would have been a top-tier Police Force members.

After all, he bore the Uchiha name.

As long as the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama's disciples held power, the political career of the Uchiha clan was doomed to struggle.

Jiraiya was really lamenting his own student, the village's Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

The head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, and Minato were not only comrades in battle but also close friends.

Fugaku's wife, Uchiha Mikoto, was also a close friend of Minato's wife, Kushina Uzumaki.

If Minato were still alive, the Uchiha clan might have been able to overcome their troubles, though it's hard to say.

But unfortunately, the Minatos died during the Nine-Tails Incident.

The main culprit, of course, was Obito, who caused the turmoil, but Danzo was also heavily responsible.

Not only did he stop the Uchiha clan from going to assist, leading to the Uchiha being blamed unfairly afterward, but Danzo also did nothing to send Root ninjas for support. 

Instead, he stood by, claiming he was protecting civilians and monitoring the Uchiha, simply watching from the sidelines.

To be honest, if Root and the Uchiha had intervened during the turmoil, there was a good chance Minato and Kushina wouldn't have died.

Danzo definitely bears at least half the blame for this.

Danzo: Fine, I'll take the blame, hmph!

[Uchiha Itachi spent his entire life playing two roles.]

[First, the older brother who was like a father to Sasuke.]

[Itachi worked tirelessly for Sasuke, using various methods to ensure Sasuke's life was set out clearly and without confusion.]

[Second, the Uchiha Itachi of Konoha.]

[For the peace of the village, he was willing to raise the blade and slaughter his own clan, leaving only his beloved little brother. In order to protect Konoha, he even planned to use Shisui's Sharingan to forcefully change Sasuke's will. I think Konoha should consider giving him an honorary Hokage title.]

Honorary Hokage?

Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, exchanged a look with the Third Hokage without speaking.

"Granting it is impossible."

Itachi's achievements in Konoha were indeed great, but in Konoha's history, he wasn't the only one with such accomplishments.

If they granted him the honorary Hokage title, what about others?

As Hokage, Jiraiya (the Fifth Hokage) and Hiruzen (the Third Hokage) had to consider the overall impact. 

However, while granting him the honorary Hokage title might not work, it doesn't mean other titles wouldn't be suitable.

The titles given by the village are not just recognition but also an honor.

"Old man, how about we study this later?"

"Alright, granting titles is a good thing. It can make the ninjas feel more honored."

"Then it's settled."

"Mm."

[Compared to Uchiha Madara, who voluntarily gave up the shattered world, Itachi seemed more like someone who chose to be forgotten by the world.]

[He let the world forget his exceptional talents, endured suffering, carried responsibility, and walked in the deepest darkness.]

[He was a ninja who, for love and duty, bore the stigma, endured everything, entered the tiger's den alone, lurked for years, and controlled the battlefield on the divine battlefield.]

[A true ninja, deserving of the title.]

[Alright, that's all for today's review of Uchiha Itachi.]

[Dear viewers, don't miss our next video.]

[By the way, remember to like, comment, and subscribe!]

[See you later!]

"Such nonsense about being a true ninja. He's just an executioner."

After finishing the video, Sasuke was the first to leave the office, not waiting for the hologram to disappear completely.

Naruto, concerned about Sasuke's mental state, followed him out of the office.

Seeing the two leaving, Jiraiya signaled Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai to follow and secretly protect them, in case Black Zetsu might cause trouble in the shadows.

Rin, noticing the situation, also followed Kakashi out of the office.

Once everyone had left, only Jiraiya, the Third Hokage, and Orochimaru remained in the office.

"Sasuke wants to resurrect his parents, Jiraiya, old man, what do you think? Should we agree to it?"

Before the Third Hokage could reply, the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya spoke up first: "Of course, if you're not too busy, we could prioritize bringing Fugaku and Mikoto back to life."

The Third Hokage opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything, silently agreeing with Jiraiya's words.

"There's one more thing. I want to send Kabuto to the Ryūchi Cave to learn their Sage Mode."

"No, Kabuto is too dangerous. We can't let him leave the village."

The Third Hokage's tone was firm. He didn't want to let Kabuto escape. He needed to keep him under surveillance to feel safe.

"Jiraiya, what do you think?"

Orochimaru didn't respond to the Third Hokage but instead looked at Jiraiya.

"Old man, you're being too sensitive. Kabuto is Orochimaru's subordinate, and who knows him better than Orochimaru himself?" Jiraiya said.

Orochimaru smiled.

If he were to say that he didn't really know Kabuto that well, would Jiraiya end up spitting blood upon hearing it?

"No, Kabuto cannot leave Konoha."

Seeing that the Third Hokage was still being stubborn, Jiraiya shook his head and asked Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, can you guarantee Kabuto won't cause any trouble?"

Orochimaru thought for a moment, then nodded, "I guarantee he won't cause any trouble."

"Then it's settled. I agree to let him go to Ryūchi Cave."

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage sharply said to Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, you'll regret this."

Jiraiya responded seriously, "Sensei, I'm the Hokage now."

Third Hokage: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
