Forced to sell misery

"Being too good is not necessarily a good thing. Being too strong will lead to isolation and arrogance, even if you are expected and admired by others at first." Itachi said.

"But now you are the only brother I have left in this world. I will be the obstacle you must overcome and live with you in this world."

"And you, Sasuke, do you have such awareness?"

Itachi looked at Sasuke with his kaleidoscopes, his face was covered by his long hair, so Sasuke still couldn't see the look on Itachi's face when he said such decisive words.

But now, he can understand the meaning of Itachi's words.

But he still didn’t understand—

"Why...why? Why, Nissan?!?" Sasuke asked unwillingly.

Is the tragedy of the previous life going to happen again? !

Itachi, what kind of mood are you in when you say these words?

He clenched his fists little by little.

"The only remaining brother...?" Shisui was silent, and he thought of Jing Ye again.

It turns out that although they are the same age, Itachi has always treated Jing Ye as his younger brother.

He lost his beloved brother...

That's why he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan at that time.

However, it is said that the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is a reflection of the user's inner thoughts. So, Itachi, what do you think...

.

.

"Itachi and Shisui-san are here too," an Uchiha appeared in front of them. When he saw the Sharingan of Shisui and the other two, he couldn't help but tremble.

Two pairs of kaleidoscopes and one pair of three magatama...

What a magical scene this is...

"Is there anything wrong?" Realizing something, Shisui put away his Mangekyo and smiled kindly at the tribesman.

Itachi and Sasuke also silently returned to their normal eyes.

"My clan members asked me to take Sasuke-kun over there. Since Shisui-san and Itachi are here too, let's go together." No longer facing those pairs of scarlet Sharingans, Uchiha Hiko's inner pressure suddenly eased and he said seriously.

A clan meeting room.

Except for the Uchiha who were on a mission, almost all the clan members gathered here, and today was not the day for the clan meeting...

The atmosphere in the room was heavy and depressing as Sasuke walked in followed by Shisui and Itachi.

"Come to me, Sasuke," Fugaku said in a deep voice.

"Father... no, clan leader." Realizing that the matters decided at this meeting would be related to him, Sasuke walked forward and stood in front of Fugaku, looking unusually nervous.

However, Fugaku did not say anything, but just looked at Sasuke with complicated eyes for a long time.

"I don't agree! My Uchiha clan will not surrender to Konoha!" Suddenly, a member of the clan lost his patience and shouted loudly,

"Is this the village's perfunctory attitude towards Uchiha Kagamiya's death?"

"Yes, Konoha must give an explanation to the clan!" Others also echoed.

Itachi, who was sitting next to Shisui, clenched his hands instantly.

"Itachi..." Shisui looked at him worriedly.

This kind of thing... to speak it out so recklessly is like talking about an object that is only related to the interests of the village and the clan... rather than the disappearance of a living life.

……

"That's enough... Let's stop here regarding the conflict between Uchiha Kagamiya and Konoha's high-ranking official Shimura Danzo in Konoha," Fugaku said in a deep voice, interrupting the noise.

Although I have made up my mind to completely break away from the clan and the village, but... now is not the right time!

"But Chief..." Some people were unwilling to continue arguing.

"That's enough! Everyone, don't forget that Uchiha Kagamiya is the child of my clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku!"

"And long before the Uchiha rebelled, we reached an agreement with Konoha, and it was a joint decision to keep the clan leader's son, Uchiha Kagamiya, in Konoha!"

Fugaku said as he swept his deep gaze over everyone present one by one.

Yes...Uchiha Kagamiya is not only a rare genius in the Uchiha clan, but also the child of the clan leader.

Isn’t the patriarch more heartbroken than them when he lost his son?

"Then why did you agree to send your young son to Konoha?" A clan member spoke without his previous fierce attitude.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Send me to Konoha?

Sasuke was confused.

"Calm down! Itachi!"

At that moment, Itachi seemed to be about to explode instantly——

Shisui was startled and grabbed Itachi's sleeve.

This is a clan meeting...

Fugaku also noticed it and glanced at Shisui and Itachi.

Shisui dejectedly loosened his grip on Itachi's sleeve. If this was the decision of the clan leader...

"My Uchiha clan will never be afraid of Konoha." Another emotional and passionate supporter of the war made a fanatical appeal.

"As early as when we decided to rebel against Konoha, everyone had already made such a preparation!"

"If Konoha wants to fight, then fight!"

"Shut up! Calm down, Hiroki!" Fugaku scolded, then said dejectedly,

"The Uchiha clan...can no longer withstand turmoil..."

"Chief..." Everyone lowered their heads.

Yes... Ever since they rebelled against Konoha, the Uchiha have been on edge all the time, forced to face all kinds of temptations and difficulties.

Yes, the Uchiha clan is conceited, but this is based on their powerful strength.

But now is no longer the glorious Warring States period of the Uchiha. People only know about the ninja village, and the ninja clan has been assimilated into becoming a part of the village.

It would be difficult for a single ninja clan to survive under such a system.

"If...if the clan is really strong enough, why would they endure humiliation and allow the likes of Konoha to bully the Uchiha!"

In the dim room, some emotions were instantly ignited, and pairs of scarlet eyes appeared——

The village... the clan...

Why did it come to this?

Jingye, is this what you want to see?

I……

Itachi closed his eyes tiredly.

When he opened his eyes again, his expression had become resolute - if it is really difficult to decide, then I will...

"I am willing to accompany and escort Sasuke to Konoha to discuss future matters regarding the village and the clan."

"You...Itachi?!"

Everyone was shocked——

"As expected...are you used to being Konoha's running dog?" A voice said sarcastically in the silence.

"Enough! It was my decision to agree to Itachi's service in Konoha's Anbu. Our clan had deeper considerations. If I hear similar remarks again, don't blame me for being ruthless as the clan leader!" Fugaku was obviously angry.

"Yes..." everyone responded awkwardly.

"Then it is decided. Uchiha Itachi will escort Uchiha Sasuke to Konoha for negotiations," Fugaku said solemnly, sweeping his majestic eyes over everyone present.

"Does anyone else have any objections?"

No one spoke.

"Yes." Itachi knelt in front of Fugaku and lowered his head to accept the order.

Uchiha clan...Uchiha Itachi...?
