Just as Orochimaru realized that he was under an illusion and began to work on removing it, Sakura also began to think seriously about Sasuke and Itachi:

Judging from the current situation, was Orochimaru's obsession with the Sharingan influenced by Uchiha Itachi?

It is indeed possible.

In the anime, Orochimaru is very satisfied with the female body he is currently using, saying that it is highly compatible with his soul and he has been using it for seven or eight years.

This shows that when Itachi joined the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru was using this body. Itachi may have learned in the Akatsuki organization that Orochimaru had mastered the ninjutsu that allowed him to take over other people's bodies.

Sasuke's mental power is used to maintain the illusion left by Itachi, so his growth rate will definitely slow down.

The most likely possibility is that Itachi knew that he didn't have much time left because of his illness, and he wanted Sasuke to grow quickly to at least a level where he could fight with him. Relying on Orochimaru's power was undoubtedly the fastest way.

Moreover, Itachi doesn't have to worry that Sasuke will really be possessed by Orochimaru. When Itachi sealed Orochimaru in the battle between brothers, he obviously had anticipated that Orochimaru would appear.

This means that Sasuke's defection should also be part of Itachi's plan.

Sasuke has actually been played around by Itachi all along?

Itachi's desire for control is too strong! What kind of new type of yandere brother control is this?

Thinking of this, Sakura once again sympathized with Sasuke's situation.

However, Sakura soon discovered the blind spot of the matter:

Wait, by doing this, isn’t Itachi afraid that Sasuke will really become enemies with Konoha?

Doesn't he love Konoha deeply?

No, he may not be that loyal to Konoha.

Although many people thought that Itachi was deceived by the Third Generation into becoming a practitioner of the Will of Fire and joined the Akatsuki organization as a spy for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But this is obviously unreasonable. For so many years, Konoha had no idea about the Akatsuki organization and had to rely on Jiraiya to find out, and in the end he even lost his life.

If the third generation knew that a large group of Kage-level strongmen had established an organization, could he have kept the information secret?

Even if the matter is of great importance, he should tell his good friend Danzo!

If he doesn’t tell Danzo, he should tell his son, right?

Didn't Asuma die in the end because he didn't understand Hidan's abilities?

If Itachi is really an undercover agent, then what is he undercover for?

He has no intelligence, his body is in tatters, but he still works diligently to make money for Nagato and has done all kinds of bad things.

I can question Itachi's thoughts, but I cannot doubt Itachi's abilities.

So it's impossible for Uchiha Itachi to be an undercover agent of Konoha.

Then the reason why Uchiha Itachi exterminated the clan was most likely not to stop the war between the two sides, but to personally take action to protect the reputation of the Uchiha clan and Sasuke's life.

What made Uchiha Itachi turn against the Ye Kingdom could not be the empty will of fire, but the powerful foundation and strength of Konoha.

It should be that when Uchiha Itachi was in the Anbu, he knew that the strength of the major families in Konoha was completely beyond the reach of the Uchiha clan.

In his opinion, even if he was included, the strength gap between Uchiha and Konoha was still far apart.

It would be more accurate to say that Uchiha Itachi is optimistic about Konoha rather than loyal to it.

Uchiha Itachi, who knows Konoha's background well, is very optimistic about Konoha's future. He hopes to send Sasuke onto this big ship of Konoha.

Even if he failed, the hatred would be settled after Sasuke killed him. Sasuke could open the Eternal Mangekyō by obtaining his eyes. As long as he did not confront Konoha, Sasuke's life safety should not be a problem.

But his plan was finally ruined by the masked man, and Sasuke's hatred still spread to Konoha.

Having guessed this, Sakura sighed again.

If all the speculations are true, then Uchiha Itachi is really scheming.

But Uchiha Itachi was ultimately deceived by the Third Hokage and Danzo.

If the Uchiha had really staged a coup at that time, the enemy would most likely only be the direct descendants of the Third Generation Group.

Large families like the Hyuga family will most likely adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

The Hokage cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Ninja Clan. This model is very similar to the ZZ system of co-governance between the king and the lord in the EU Middle Ages.

Under this system, foreign wars can ensure that everyone works together, but as long as the internal struggles between the king and the great nobles do not involve other people, other nobles will not participate.

While Sakura was thinking, Orochimaru had already lifted Uchiha Itachi's illusion:

"As expected of Itachi-kun, you can actually use the mental power of others to perform illusions.

If it weren’t for Sakura-kun, I might still be dreaming in a drum.

Now that I think about it, even if I got Sasuke-kun's body, I could only use it for 6-7 years under ideal circumstances.

It's really unlike me to rush into attacking Sasuke-kun without checking the compatibility."

Orochimaru, who had lifted the illusion, looked a little tired, with beads of sweat still on his pale face, but he still smiled at himself.

"So, Mr. Orochimaru is not so obsessed with Sasuke now?"

Sakura asked.

"That's not the case. Although it's unlikely that my soul will be able to fully control the Sharingan now, it wouldn't be a bad thing if I could really get a subordinate like Sasuke-kun."

Orochimaru said truthfully.

Seeing that Orochimaru's words did not seem false, Sakura retracted the love that was flashing on the fingertips of her left hand.

Orochimaru is no longer obsessed with Sasuke, so threats like this are useless.

"So, the heart-crushing thing was just Sakura-kun's bluff?"

“Yes, the bluff was low-level, but it worked.

Mr. Orochimaru's personality should be the same as mine, he doesn't like gambling."

Sakura shrugged.

"So Sakura-kun has lost the means to threaten me. Aren't you afraid that I will do something to you?"

Orochimaru gave Sakura an evil smile.

"Let's not talk about things that everyone knows."

Sakura rolled her eyes at Orochimaru.

Sakura has already expressed her rejection of the curse seal, and it is obvious that she will not accept this power from unknown sources.

Moreover, Sakura helped Orochimaru to break the illusion, which proved that Sakura's impression of Orochimaru was not bad. Even if Sakura did not follow Orochimaru's idea, she was at least someone Orochimaru could cooperate with.

Considering the value that Sakura has shown, why should she be killed if she can cooperate?

“That’s it for this time, someone I know came over, so I’ll leave first.

Goodbye, Yingjun, I owe you a favor this time."

Orochimaru vaguely felt that the Heaven's Curse Seal was approaching him and knew that Red Bean was coming.

What's different from the anime is that this time Orochimaru had no intention of going to meet his long-lost disciple, and simply slipped away underwater.

Orochimaru had also been exhausted in the battle with Team 7, and having just broken the illusion he was mentally exhausted, so at this moment Orochimaru wanted to go back and rest even more.

Sakura leaned against a tree and closed her eyes, waiting for Hongdou to arrive.

This time it wasn't completely fruitless, after all, favors from the Three Ninjas weren't so easy to get.

------

"Hey! Wake up!"

Sakura heard the voice calling her, and when she opened her eyes, a pair of round balls wrapped in a fishing net came into view.

"Ah, it's Examiner Anko!"

"Asshole, where do you see the identification...

Damn it, stop interrupting, how did this place become like this?

Who did you just fight with?"

Hongdou subconsciously wanted to complain, but quickly realized that she had something important to ask.

Judging from the sensation of the curse seal, Orochimaru should have just left not long ago, and he stayed here for a long time before leaving.

Sakura quickly thought about Anko and explained what had just happened, of course she didn't mention anything about her conversation with Orochimaru...

"What! You said both explosions were caused by you little brats?

And forced Orochimaru to... And forced Orochimaru to use the Orochimaru Substitution Technique twice?

Don't brag, you don't think I will really believe it! "

Anko listened to what Sakura said and obviously didn't believe what she just said.

Hongdou glanced at the devastated scene around her. If what Sakura said was true, then these little brats might be stronger than her. How could anyone believe this!

"That's the truth, you just don't want to believe it.

Moreover, if we hadn't used any powerful ninjutsu, how would I have known that Orochimaru knew that strange substitution technique?"

In fact, Orochimaru used the Great Snake Style Substitution Technique three times, but Sakura did not correct Anko.

After hearing what Sakura said, Anko remained silent.

"The information you provided this time is very valuable. Although I am sorry to let someone who has nothing to do with the exam sneak in, the rules of the exam cannot be changed. For the sake of fairness, I cannot give you a backdoor..."

After a long silence, Hongdou decided to report the matter first.

As for Sakura and the others, with their strength, they will become Chunin sooner or later, even if it's a little late.

"Examiner Anko, you don't think we're going to give up the exam, do you?"

Sakura's emerald eyes moved slightly, moving her gaze from Anko's chest to meet Anko's gaze.

Red Bean looked at Naruto and Sasuke lying dead on the ground, the meaning was self-evident.

“Don’t worry, Anko, my medical ninjutsu is still pretty good.

In five days they will both be full of life again!"

Sakura said confidently.
