Ch. 227. Sasuke and Itachi's Brotherhood. [1]

　　Mizuki went east to chase Sasuke.

　　Little did he know that Sasuke was currently in the North of the Land of Earth.

　　Kisame:

- "Itachi-San, are you really not going to deal with him?"

- "The testing for him is almost done. To be able to catch up so far, his foundation as a ninja is very good for this age."

- "However, if we let him continue chasing like this, we won't be able to carry out our mission."

　　Itachi and Kisame jumped forward in the forest, and Kisame looked back from time to time.

　　From behind, Sasuke was chasing after him.

　　Last night, Itachi and Kisame left after visiting Phoenix Village. They didn't go far when they were hit by Sasuke, who then gave chase.

　　Itachi continued to move forward and said simply:

- "Now is not the time!"

　　Kisame asked curiously:

- "What's not the right time?"

　　Itachi said:

- "This is a matter between our brothers, and it is also related to the secret of the [Sharingan]. Please forgive me for not saying more."

- "Speed up and get rid of him. The leader has sent information about Nibi."

- "We must arrive before evening."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, his speed suddenly increased, and Kisame also accelerated:

- "I really don't understand, leader. It's not enough to capture the Yonbi and send him to Phoenix Village. He also needs to capture the Nibi."

- "And I heard that Sasori and Deidara went to capture the Sanbi."

"The organization's previous plan was to capture all nine tailed beasts, seal them, and combine them into Juubi to promote Peace in the Ninja World. But now they are giving the tailed beasts to Mizuki for free. What does it mean?"

　　Kisame is simple-minded and puzzled.

　　Itachi had already guessed Nagato's plan:

- "Mizuki is too strong. We have no advantage in competing with him for the tailed beasts."

- "The leader's intention is to take the initiative to help Mizuki collect the tailed beasts. If this happens, the five major countries will definitely resist and unite to besiege Phoenix Village."

　　Kisame's eyes lit up and he smiled inexplicably:

- "I understand!"

　　After the two increased their speed, the distance between them and Sasuke immediately widened and became wider and wider.

　　After all, Sasuke was only thirteen years old. Although he practiced hard, his [Body Flicker Technique] was nowhere comparable to that of Kage-Level powerhouses like Kisame and Itachi.

　　Seeing Itachi's back getting further and further away, Sasuke became anxious.

　　He shouted:

- "Itachi, stop!"

- "I already know the truth about how you destroyed the Uchiha Clan. You can't run away. Even if I chase you to the end of the world, I will kill you!"

- "If you don't stop, I will tell the Akatsuki everything about you."

- "I want to kill everyone in Konohagakure, from the elderly to the babies, no one will be spared."

　　Ahead, Itachi stopped immediately.

　　Kisame asked doubtfully:

- "Itachi-San?"

　　Itachi said:

- "Kisame, I'm sorry, there are some things I have to deal with."

- "You go to the front and wait for me. I will solve it quickly."

　　Kisame nodded:

- "Understood!"

　　Kisame took the first step, Itachi waited in place, and soon, Sasuke came close:

- "Itachi, I don't understand. The love between parents and family inheritance can't compare to a village?"

Sasuke couldn't understand Itachi's thoughts.

　　Itachi said calmly:

- "Without a village, how can there be a family?"

- "The destruction of a family can bring peace to the whole village. The death of hundreds of people can save the bloodshed of tens of thousands of people."

- "Why not?"

　　Sasuke looked ferocious and roared:

- "But you are also a member of the Uchiha Clan, how can you do this?"

　　Itachi said without changing his expression:

- "Yes, I am a member of the Uchiha Clan, but I am also a villager of Konohagakure Village."

- "Besides, it's a rotten family with narrow family concepts. Such a family should not continue to stay in the Ninja World. The Uchiha Clan needs a new life and a complete change."

　　Sasuke roared loudly:

- "You madman, you are simply unreasonable!"

- "Since you killed everyone, why did you leave me alone?"

　　Itachi pointed at his eyes and said,

- "Why do I keep you? Because you are my light!"

- "I will kill you, just like Uchiha Madara killed his brother Uchiha Izuna, and then take away your eyes and gain permanent light."

　　Hearing this, Sasuke seemed to feel relieved:

- "It seems that you really want to awaken the [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan]."

- "In this way, I will kill you without any psychological pressure."

　　Itachi said in surprise:

- "Oh? You actually know about the [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan]? It seems that your eyes have also awakened to the [Mangekyo Sharingan]."

- "Why, it doesn't feel good to witness the death of a friend with your own eyes!"

　　Sasuke:

- "No, I didn't awake the [Mangekyo Sharingan]."

- "I don't need the eyes I bought with my friend's life."

　　Itachi frowned and said:

- "Then where did you get the news about the [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan]? Without the [Mangekyou Sharingan], you shouldn't be able to see the words on the stone tablet."

　　Sasuke:

- "I know more than you think."

　　Itachi glanced at Sasuke lightly and said:

- "Since the [Mangekyou Sharingan] has not been awakened, there is no need for me to waste my time with you."

- "What I want is a [Mangekyou Sharingan], not an ordinary three magatama."

- "Whenever you awake the [Mangekyou Sharingan], find me again!"

　　After saying that, Itachi turned around and left.

　　Sasuke sneered:

- "Do you think you can still walk away today?"

- "Itachi, today is the day you die!"
