He had always been consumed by anger.
But as his strength grew and his horizons broadened, doubts began to surface in his mind.
Even after Uchiha Itachi awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan and possessed extraordinary power, it would be incredibly difficult for him to silently kill an entire clan.
The Uchiha Clan, known as the Wood Leaf Village's foremost noble clan, had nearly a hundred Jonin alone.
Even if none of them were a match for Uchiha Itachi, it wouldn't be difficult to create a disturbance and attract the village's attention.
Could there be some unknown secret within?
Yakushi Kabuto kept him in suspense, not explaining directly, but instead smiled and said, "If you want to know the truth, you can ask the Hokage."
This was Orochimaru-sensei's intention.
If the truth were told directly, the other party would be suspicious; only by guiding the other party step by step to discover the truth for himself would he believe it wholeheartedly.
Sasuke said coldly, "Do you want to die?"
Listening to Yakushi Kabuto, it seemed the Uchiha Clan's downfall was related to the Hokage?
If it was false, it was a rogue ninja's trick to sow discord, but if it was true, going to ask the Hokage would be tantamount to seeking death.
Yakushi Kabuto didn't care about his attitude and smiled, "Go look for the Uchiha Clan's remaining notes; you'll surely find something."
The Uchiha Clan had been secretly plotting rebellion for many years, and even if Wood Leaf Village had cleaned up thoroughly, there would likely be some remnants left behind.
Sasuke wasn't a brainless Naruto Uzumaki; after discovering it and connecting it to the village's situation, he would instantly realize the entire truth.
At that time, he would definitely be willing to cooperate with Orochimaru to destroy this village stained with Uchiha blood.
"Let me tell you another secret."
Yakushi Kabuto put a finger to his lips and whispered, "The person who attacked you that day was a secret Wood Leaf Village unit called Root, under the command of Shimura Danzo, the Hokage's good friend."
Sasuke's brows furrowed even deeper.
He also felt that the enemy ninja being able to infiltrate Wood Leaf Village was absurd, and now that it was brought up again, he felt even stranger.
Finally, Sasuke and Yakushi Kabuto reached a deal, buying the purple jewelry set for 20,000 reward points.
"The truth?"
Sasuke's heart pounded, and the more he thought about it, the more his head throbbed; recalling the scene of the clan's annihilation made him feel suffocated.
At this moment, he repeatedly peeled back the wound, carefully recalling the details.
Just as Sasuke was doubting life,
On a street in Wood Leaf Village, two people wearing black cloaks with red clouds slowly walked down the commercial street.
The tall, shark-faced man, wearing a straw hat, looked even more conspicuous. He exclaimed, "What a prosperous village. Itachi-sensei, is this where you grew up?"
"Don't be so talkative."
Uchiha Itachi said this, but he didn't stop Kisame.
From a ninja's perspective, this was a very failed infiltration; there was no disguise, only a straw hat that couldn't even cover his gill-like face.
Their Chakra signatures weren't deliberately suppressed, like two brightly lit light bulbs.
Just by intruding into Wood Leaf Village like this,
They had already been detected by Anbu ninjas; it was just that without knowing their purpose, they hadn't made a move yet.
"Itachi-sensei, are we really going to capture the Nine-Tails?"
Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't believe that the usually calm and wise Uchiha Itachi would act so irrationally by intruding into Wood Leaf Village.
Uchiha Itachi calmly said, "No, just a test."
Actually, it was about Sasuke.
While on a mission for the leader, he suddenly heard that Sasuke, who was in Wood Leaf Village, had been attacked. He suspected that some change had occurred in the village, and it was very likely that Danzo had made a move against Sasuke.
This was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
So he decided to risk returning to Wood Leaf Village to let Danzo know that he was always watching Sasuke, preventing him from acting rashly.
"As expected, it's a grand gesture, Itachi-sensei."
Kisame Hoshigaki looked up at the giant arena built in the center of the village and exclaimed, "I heard the Five Great Shinobi Countries' joint Chunin Exams are being held in Wood Leaf Village. Looking at the scale of this arena, even I could fight with all my strength."
Before he defected, while Kirigakure wasn't poor, it didn't have the means to build such a luxurious structure.
On the other side,
Inside the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen received a report from the Anbu, took a puff from his pipe, and murmured, "Uchiha Itachi has returned to the village?"
An S-rank rogue ninja infiltrating the village,
Should have been highly prioritized, but Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, signaling the Anbu not to alert him, and then there was no further instruction.
He skillfully activated the Telescope Jutsu and happened to hear Uchiha Itachi talking about capturing the Nine-Tails.
"Is he sending information to the village, that an organization wants to capture the Nine-Tails?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt guilty inside.
Uchiha Itachi choosing to return to the village at this time probably had something to do with Danzo's attack on Sasuke.
He had clearly promised to take good care of Sasuke, but he hadn't fulfilled that promise.
At this moment,
A crow suddenly landed on the power pole outside the window, holding a note in its beak.
It contained secret information about the Akatsuki, as well as the recent tumultuous situation, suggesting that someone might be targeting Wood Leaf Village.
Finally, it stated that Uchiha Itachi wanted to test Sasuke's growth and strength, and hoped the Hokage would agree.
"Sasuke's strength might surprise you, Itachi."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
The growth of the new generation was something even he couldn't ignore. With Uchiha Itachi's guidance, Sasuke would surely grow into a towering tree protecting Wood Leaf Village.
"Go tell Danzo to stay quietly in his Root base. He is not allowed to come out without my command."
"Yes."
Uchiha Itachi had sacrificed too much for the village; as the Hokage, he would certainly try his best to fulfill this small request.
Naka Shrine,
Sasuke searched through boxes and cabinets, finally discovering clues in an abandoned secret compartment.
"This is, a secret letter from the Uchiha Clan?"
The content was not extensive, a secret letter regarding the large-scale purchase of kunai.
Also explosive tags, and military rations pills.
The sheer quantity already exceeded a normal family's consumption, enough to spark a rebellion.
Sasuke's brows furrowed tightly, sensing something amiss, and he could even imagine the scene at the time.
No wonder,
His father was stern all day and didn't come home, almost daily gathering to discuss some secret matters.
"Did the Uchiha once plan a rebellion?"
Having found this, the truth was already on the verge of being revealed.
Sasuke felt his throat dry, and even when he recalled it, he could find problems. He feared that the village had already known about the Uchiha Clan's impending rebellion at the time.
The downfall of the Uchiha Clan was related to Wood Leaf Village!
"Itachi, what role did you play in all of this?"
A tremendous sense of confusion caused Sasuke's Chakra to run wild, and a special Chakra gathered in the optic nerves of his eyes.
His crimson Sharingan activated, and the black tomoe spun wildly.
Three tomoe.
Just then, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Three tomoe, huh? You've made quite a bit of progress since I left."
It was Uchiha Itachi, who had found his way to the clan grounds, wanting to see how Sasuke was doing.
