Naruto: I was reborn as Uchiha Sasuke

Chapter 29: The First Battle with Itachi

On the afternoon of April 64, 4, the sky was slightly gloomy. The sun struggled to penetrate the heavy clouds, sparingly shedding a few rays of light, as if the light was also suppressed by the solemn atmosphere. After learning that Hatake Kakashi was injured and hospitalized, Sasuke hurriedly rushed towards the inn Shubacho where Jiraiya and Naruto lived. His figure flashed, hiding in the corner of the dark like a ghost, his eyes alert as an eagle, patiently waiting for Uchiha Itachi's arrival, his tense body like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to burst at any time.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame quietly lurked in the shadows of the corner, their eyes as cold as snakes and scorpions, secretly spying on Naruto. Kisame could not hold back, and suddenly jumped up, like a beast out of a cage, punching out fiercely, trying to take the initiative. Sasuke reacted quickly, flicked his wrist, and threw several shurikens like meteors without hesitation, streaking through the air, making a sharp whistle, blocking Kisame's attack. Seeing this, Kisame moved swiftly and skillfully, blocking the shurikens in an instant, and his agility was astonishing. At this moment, Sasuke opened his eyes, and his Sharingan opened instantly. His scarlet eyes were firm and resolute. He looked at Itachi and Kisame, and then turned to Naruto and shouted: "Naruto, get ready for battle!" His voice was full of urgency and majesty.

Then, Sasuke showed no fear. He waved his arm, and powerful chakra instantly gathered in his hand. He used Chidori Shuriken, accompanied by a piercing cry, and launched a fierce attack on Uchiha Itachi like lightning. Seeing this, Naruto was extremely anxious. He was about to rush forward to stop Sasuke, but was stopped by Jiraiya who came in a hurry and stretched out his strong arm. Jiraiya had a serious expression and a solemn look. He solemnly told Naruto: "This is Uchiha Sasuke's own business. You can't interfere." His tone was firm and unquestionable.

Sasuke used the instant body-flickering technique to disappear in an instant, and appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi the next second. At the same time, the chakra in his body surged like surging waves, and he activated the Chidori Chakra mode. His fists and feet were like the wind, and he launched a fierce physical battle with Itachi like a storm. In several rounds of competition, Sasuke relied on the powerful power of the Chidori Chakra mode and was not at a disadvantage. Every move and every style of his was full of strength and determination, as if he wanted to release the anger and hatred that had been accumulated in his heart for many years.

Itachi was shocked at Sasuke's amazing growth, and discovered the shadow of Uchiha Shisui's physical skills in Sasuke's moves. He knew that Sasuke must have seen what he had prepared in advance, but he didn't know what Sasuke thought of the Will of Fire, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

On the side, Jiraiya was guarding Naruto with full concentration, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he was always alert to prevent him from being attacked by Kisame. Looking at Sasuke's performance, Jiraiya thought to himself that Sasuke's growth was amazing. In comparison, Naruto was indeed much worse. Naruto was actually sealed by the five elements seal of the little guy of the Hyuga family. He just helped Naruto to unseal it a few days ago. He shook his head slightly, sighing at the gap between the two.

Itachi and Sasuke engaged in a fierce physical battle, with fists and palms interlaced at a speed that was too fast to keep up. After several rounds, Sasuke gradually fell into a disadvantage. Just when the situation became increasingly unfavorable, Sasuke decisively turned his wrist, and several kunai slipped out of his sleeves in an instant, released at a very fast speed, and flew towards Itachi like flowers scattered by a fairy, in order to contain Itachi's torrential attack frequency. Then, his figure flashed, and he moved away like smoke in an instant. At the same time, a large amount of chakra gathered in his palms, shining, and released a powerful Chidori, accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity, and attacked Itachi fiercely. But Itachi reacted quickly, his figure flashed, and disappeared like a phantom, using the Crow Clone Technique to cleverly dodge, and took the opportunity to flash his eyes, and powerful pupil power emerged, and he performed a powerful pupil technique Tsukuyomi on Sasuke.

Itachi still let Sasuke witness the unforgettable night of genocide. The bloody scene and the screams of the clan members reappeared before his eyes. The nightmare-like scenes made Sasuke's Sharingan spin rapidly under the dual stimulation of the painful memories of the genocide night and the deep hatred for Itachi. The blood-red light became more and more dazzling and evolved into a three-magatama Sharingan. Sasuke glared at Uchiha Itachi with his eyes wide open, as if he was about to spit out flames, and shouted loudly: "If you want the so-called pattern, you should kill me together. Leaving me behind is not because of how much you like me, but because of your sick idea, you want to use me to verify your protection of Konoha. Itachi, you are a qualified ninja, but not a qualified member of the Uchiha clan. Your so-called genius is also based on the glorious history of the Uchiha clan. I believe that you have been extremely painful in the past six years, but all of this is caused by you!" His voice trembled with anger, and every word seemed to carry deep resentment.

Uchiha Itachi responded to Sasuke, "What do you know? This pair of Mangekyō Sharingan has a huge drawback. Once opened, it will gradually lose its light. Leaving you behind is just to give these eyes the possibility of regaining their light." There was a hint of helplessness and vicissitudes in his tone.

Sasuke did not back down. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and angrily retorted to Itachi, "Itachi, I'm not a child! I've seen Orochimaru's attack on Konoha. It's impossible for you to slaughter the entire Uchiha clan silently by yourself. Even if you used poison, I'm sure that high-ranking Konoha officials were involved, and even the organization you're in now is not unrelated. Fortunately, some of the family's classics and diaries were not completely burned. I really want to know now, why are you standing on Konoha's side?" His eyes were full of doubt and determination.

Uchiha Itachi knew that Sasuke was not completely controlled by hatred. Through some documents, Sasuke began to doubt the truth of the night of genocide. He took a deep breath and said, "Sasuke, the clan members are prejudiced. If Konoha clashes with Uchiha, Konoha will suffer heavy losses and may trigger the Fourth Ninja World War, which will lead to the crisis of the destruction of the Land of Fire..." His voice was low and heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

Sasuke interrupted Itachi and pointed at him, his fingertips trembling slightly: "Itachi, your vision is indeed grand, but you are not the Hokage. You have the opportunity to choose to kill me now, or we will have the final showdown in three years. I will avenge my clan and kill you with my own hands. As for Konoha, Itachi, I'm sorry, I don't have the energy to protect such a corrupt Konoha. From what I know, the darkness of Konoha simply shocked me. The inhumane wood escape experiment of the Konoha high-level officials, the suicide of my teacher Kakashi Hatake's father, who was known as the White Fang of Konoha, and the suicide of my classmate Neji Hyuga's father, the younger brother of the Hyuga clan's patriarch. Even if the Uchiha clan deserved their punishment and it is not included in the list, I would like to ask you, what do you think of these three things? Unfortunately, you, who are full of prejudice, discriminate against your clansmen who are also full of prejudice. Asking you may not get any results."

Uchiha Itachi listened to Sasuke's story. In the past six years, especially the continuous publication of newspapers in the Fire Country, he did not agree with some news opinions, but some opinions also made him fall into deep thinking. Was it right or wrong to do this on the night of the genocide? Was it good or bad for the Fire Country government to protect the decaying Konoha? Unfortunately, the matter was done, so he did not pass on the information of the Akatsuki organization to Konoha in the past six years. A trace of confusion and pain flashed in his eyes.

Both sides had been in silence for a long time. Sasuke was the first to break the silence. He took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, and said, "Itachi, I am very grateful that you chose to let me live in this world. But killing you is also to give an explanation to the dead members of the clan. As for Konoha, I will not destroy it, but for the Konoha high-level officials, I will make public the darkness since the founding of Konoha. Regarding the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level officials since the founding of the village, I will try to keep it fair. Itachi, this is my bottom line. If you have the chance, you can also write me a picture of Konoha and the Uchiha clan in your eyes." Although his tone was still firm, there was a hint of complexity.

Uchiha Itachi nodded, his expression solemn, and agreed to Sasuke's request. He could only hope that the future Fifth Hokage could change Konoha. His eyes revealed a hint of expectation and helplessness.

Sasuke then asked, "How do I heal the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Uchiha Itachi replied: "Absorb the eye power of the Mangekyō of the bloodline of close relatives."

Sasuke said, "Well, start using the Tsukuyomi before it ends, Itachi. Living in a peaceful era, ninjas grow very slowly."

During the two long days of Tsukuyomi, Sasuke and Itachi engaged in a rigorous and brutal ninja battle. Basically, every time Itachi was fatally wounded, he would let it go, and Sasuke took this opportunity to continuously integrate the fighting styles of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. Finally, before the end of Tsukuyomi, Itachi's eyes flashed, and powerful spiritual power surged towards Sasuke like a tide, causing severe damage to Sasuke's spirit.
