Naruto I smash the golden egg on the leaf

"Under Danzo's planning, the Uchiha clan is finally preparing to launch a coup," Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

Hearing this, everyone around them couldn't help but hold their breath.

They had a hunch that the Sandaime was finally going to get to the point.

"But" Sarutobi Hiruzen changed his words and looked at Itachi on Sasuke's back.

"Although many members of the Uchiha clan want to launch a coup, there are still a very small number of people who do not want to see the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village reach that point."

"Itachi is one of them"

"At that time, Itachi was serving in the Anbu, so I found him and hoped that he could appease the Uchiha clan," Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"However, it ultimately failed."

"The relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village has reached an irreconcilable point. It cannot be solved by him alone," Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"Because of this, Itachi has been ostracized a lot even within the clan."

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Sasuke couldn't help but recall those things from his childhood.

Some tribesmen even rushed to the house and asked Itachi to give them an explanation, asking him why he wanted to be the lackey of the village.

Although he was very angry at the time, he still suppressed his emotions and did not hurt them.

"So, is this what Itachi was thinking at that time?" Sasuke looked at Itachi behind him and thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, Itachi, who seemed so calm at the time, was actually carrying such a heavy burden.

No wonder every time I wanted to play with him, he would use various excuses to shirk it.

It turns out that he didn’t want to be angered by his clansmen.

"However, Itachi still doesn't want a war to break out in the village, and is working hard to reconcile the relationship between the two parties."

"Later, Danzo also learned about Itachi's thoughts and found him secretly," Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Here we come," Shikamaru said inwardly.

"Danzo asked Itachi to gather all the Uchiha clan members together, and he would lead the members of the Roots to kill them."

"However, Itachi rejected his proposal" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Itachi and said.

"At that time, Itachi also felt that his reconciliation had no effect at all, so he was very heartbroken."

"In despair, he quietly found me and proposed to get rid of the Uchiha clan himself."

"But he has a condition"

Saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stopped and looked straight at Sasuke.

"Do you know what the conditions Itachi and I put forward?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked slowly.

"I don't know." Sasuke shook his head blankly.

"He said that it is okay to kill the Uchiha clan, but he wants to keep your life," Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"What?" Sasuke was shocked. His whole body seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and he collapsed softly on the ground.

He couldn't believe that Itachi's condition was actually like this

"Yes," Sarutobi Hiruzen said, recalling the situation at that time: "Itachi said he could kill everyone in the Uchiha clan, including your parents. He could kill them all."

"But he only kept you"

"He said you are the only person he cares about in this world."

"For you, he would abandon everything, even his biological parents."

"And he also knew that he would be despised after killing his clan members, but he begged me to let me protect you secretly and let you grow up like a normal child without being implicated by him." Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said said.

"How could this be?" Sasuke murmured.

He couldn't believe that the truth about Itachi turned out to be like this

"But" Sasuke still couldn't believe it.

He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Itachi must be doing it for these eyes of mine."

"He said that in order to awaken the eternal kaleidoscope, you must dig out another pair of kaleidoscopes."

"That's what he must be doing," Sasuke muttered.

"Sasuke," Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly took a puff of smoke and said, "You are so naive."

"Do you think Itachi is the only one in the Uchiha clan who has awakened the Mangekyo?"

"What?" Sasuke had finished eating and suddenly woke up.

Yes, there are so many people in the Uchiha clan, and there must be some who have awakened the Mangekyo. Why did Itachi fall in love with his own pair?

"Although I have never seen it, I am sure that your father, Fugaku, must have awakened the Mangekyo," Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"Without those eyes, he would not have dared to lead the Uchiha people to launch a coup."

"In other words, if Itachi wants to awaken the Eternal Kaleidoscope, he can dig out your father's eyes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Sasuke's heart hard.

"So, do you still think that Itachi kept you here just for your eyes?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.

"On the night of the genocide." Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Sasuke, then ignored him and continued: "Itachi finally discovered the guy who controlled the Nine-Tails to attack the village."

"At that time, he had already discovered the existence of the Akatsuki organization."

"Afterwards, he reported the incident to me and asked to sneak into the Akatsuki organization as an undercover agent and secretly monitor the existence."

"I also agreed to his request"

"In this way, Uchiha Itachi joined the Akatsuki organization as a rebellious ninja of the village." Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly: "But, in fact, he was acting as my informant, secretly investigating things about the Akatsuki organization. "

"He is my hero of Konoha" Hiruzen Sarutobi said looking at Itachi on Sasuke's back.

"It turned out to be so"

The people around him couldn't help but fell silent after listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

The Uchiha Itachi they thought was actually protecting the village secretly

Even if he kills the whole clan, he doesn't want to see the village fall into war because of the differences between the two sides.

Therefore, he would rather bear everyone's rejection and protect the peace of the village.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Itachi with respect.

"Sasuke" Sarutobi Hiruzen said looking at Sasuke.

"Itachi killed his friends, his boss, his lover, and his parents for you."

"But he only kept you"

"He can never take action against your biological brother."

"Indeed, in the eyes of everyone, he is a man who sheds blood and tears and obliterates all his emotions."

"But he has feelings for you that others can't understand at all."

"Because to him, your life is more important than that of your clan members," Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly.

"Stop talking, stop talking." Sasuke was already crying.

These words of Sarutobi Hiruzen were like a knife, piercing into his heart word by word.

He didn't expect that the truth Itachi wanted to cover up would be so cruel.
