Naruto's Perfect Otsutsuki

Itachi didn't know how many clan members he had killed, nor how much time had passed.

When he stopped, there was no one left standing in front of him.

Even in the illusion, even if he repeated this thing hundreds of times, every time he faced the corpses of his tribe, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart!

His bloodshot eyes looked dullly at the deep alley behind him.

At the end of the alley was his former home, where his father and mother were waiting for him, and where his beloved brother and sister were hiding in their rooms to spy on the situation on the street.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, he knew that even if he didn't face the moment he least wanted to face, the power of the illusion would carry him through it.

Dragging the long curled knife, Itachi walked step by step towards the depths of the alley.

Still in front of the house, still blocked by his father.

Looking at the person in front of him, Itachi closed his eyes tiredly. Sometimes he really wanted to just die.

"Itachi, is this your choice?"

Fugaku's tone was still as calm as before, no questioning, no reprimand, just this calm sentence.

"Father, Uchiha cannot win this war, give up. I don't want Sasuke and Saori to lose their lives in vain because of the family's stupid decision!"

Itachi answered like this without any regret on his face.

"You also have the Mangekyō Sharingan plus my Mangekyō Sharingan. Why can't Uchiha win this war?"

"Sure enough, it's still like this..." Itachi sighed inwardly. He had repeated this conversation countless times.

Because of this, Itachi was tired of explaining.

"Father, since the ending we have seen is different, there is no need to continue talking. I will use my own way to protect Sasuke and Saori, so for them, I can only ask you to die here!"

Fugaku seemed not to have expected Itachi to say this, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face. Just when he was about to speak, Fugaku found that his eyes flashed, and then the entire illusion ended, and Itachi once again returned to the original starting point, the cliff. The land where water committed suicide...

"Don't stop me, Itachi."

Shisui still left his last words with a smile on his face, and Itachi just watched him fall off the cliff quietly.

"Oh!"

Itachi knelt down suddenly. Even though his knee was broken, he didn't feel any pain at all. Tears fell silently. He was really about to collapse.

"I clearly know that as long as I kill Shisui myself, this genjutsu will end, but, I can't do it, Sasuke!"

Itachi had already figured out the way to unlock this illusion, but as he said himself, he couldn't do it.

Because Shisui is his best friend and his life mentor.

It was Shisui who led Itachi to understand the so-called will of fire, and he became a double agent because of this, and ultimately made a big mistake.

Although the act of genocide was also intended to protect the lives of his younger brothers and sisters, Itachi knew very well that the reason for making this decision was more because he wanted to inherit Shisui's last wish.

Protect the village.

But now, in this illusion, Itachi was almost forced by Sasuke to make a second choice, to help the family start a war with the village.

In this battle, he knew that both sides would lose. Maybe Uchiha would win and his father would become Hokage.

But after experiencing such a civil war, how can other countries let it go? By then, a bigger war will come, and can the Uchiha clan stop it?

Maybe only when another country invades, Sasuke and Saori at this stage have the power he saw, can they protect the Uchiha clan.

The scene in the genjutsu kept changing, and Itachi kept his kneeling posture without any movement.

He was tired, so let's do this, let the clansmen who had died in vain because of his decision vent all their dissatisfaction on himself in this illusion.

The kunai cut off Itachi's flesh and blood piece by piece. He did not cry out in pain or stop him. He allowed himself to be cut into pieces by the angry tribesmen, and then returned to the cliff again...

But this time he waited for a long time and didn't wait for Shisui's last words.

Looking up slightly, Itachi saw Sasuke appearing where Shisui should be.

"Sasuke..."

The still very young Sasuke held Shisui's head and looked at Itachi coldly, "Even after so many experiences, are you still unwilling to change your mind?"

"You know that as long as you kill Shisui, the source of all evil, and give up your damn Will of Fire, this illusion will end. Why don't you do it!"

Facing Sasuke's question, Itachi didn't know how to answer for a while.

He knew that the reason why Sasuke specially prepared such an illusion for himself was because he still had a glimmer of hope for himself.

As long as she makes the choice according to his wishes, the conflicting relationship between the three siblings can be eased.

But if he really made the choice according to Sasuke's vision, would he still be himself?

Itachi sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that he had been tied to Konoha for the rest of his life.

No matter what, that is the only faith that cannot be let down, because "This is the will of fire that I understand" is all that I have.

"Maybe you can't understand it yet, but Sasuke, when you have your own faith, you will understand what I am thinking now."

The huge difference in strength made Itachi give up his plan to persuade Sasuke.

In fact, he has long understood that Sasuke and Saori are no longer under his control.

Their power has reached a level that the world cannot understand, and their future may have a broader stage.

Konoha seemed really small to them.

"When I was four years old, I followed my family on the battlefield. In that purgatory, I kept thinking about why ninjas engage in such endless wars and what the ninjas live for."

"It wasn't until I met Shisui that I understood something from him. Maybe it's because our power is limited, so we can only try our best to protect everything we care about, and the village concentrates everything we care about. A piece of pure land, what I want to protect is not just the family, relatives, nor the Hokage and elders you imagined, but the land of Konoha, nothing more."

"However, you and Shazhi may be different, because your power is strong enough, and you have freedom that I do not have. Even if you are willing, you can change the world at will, just like it is now, just because you With the decision, the ninja world has united like never before. I don’t think the leaders of all countries joined the ninja alliance initiated by Akatsuki and Konoha with the idea of ​​protecting the world. In the final analysis, they just understand that your power is stronger than theirs. The group heating measures taken after the irresistible situation has passed."

"I can't foresee your future, but no matter what you and Saori will become in the end, I... will always love you."
