Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 292 The Truth

Chapter 292 The Truth

Closed space, blue sky and white clouds.

It's like the place where Itachi once taught Sasuke about Shurikenjutsu.

"This is…"

Sasuke only felt a little dizzy, and then he suddenly appeared here, feeling that he had returned to his childhood in an instant.

Going back to that time where Itachi is still in Konoha.

"Nii-san!"

Sasuke couldn't help but yelled after looking at the empty surroundings.

Afterwards, Itachi's figure quietly emerged, standing beside Sasuke.

"Nii-san!" Sasuke said happily.

"Sasuke, I didn't expect that you would still call me nii-san even after all of this." Itachi's expression was a bit complicated, and he was a little distracted when he looked at the young man in front of him who was much taller than he had imagined.

"Nii-san is always my nii-san. I believe that nii-san must have his own difficulties, right?"

Sasuke looked at Itachi with expectation, making Itachi really unable to say cruel words.

After a long time, Itachi sighed and said: "Sasuke, this matter is very complicated, let's talk about it slowly."

"Okay, nii-san."

Seeing that Itachi finally relented, Sasuke was excited.

'Sure enough, nii-san is still the same nii-san, just as gentle and kind as I remember.'

"Sasuke, thirteen years ago, the Kyuubi was released from its Jinch?riki by a mysterious man, and Kyuubi rampaged, causing a lot of casualty in Konoha. Even Yondaime Hokage died at that time. You should know this, right?"

Sasuke nodded, and shook his head again. Everyone knew about the Kyuubi's attack on Konoha thirteen years ago, but Sasuke didn't know about the mysterious person and Jinch?riki that were mentioned by Itachi.

Itachi start to explain it to Sasuke, and Sasuke was stunned.

"As for this mysterious man, Konoha's top executives suspected that he was an Uchiha, because only Sharingan can control the Kyuubi. Because of that, the Uchiha Clan was isolated."

"But isn't the Uchiha Clan fine right now?" Sasuke asked in confusion.

"Listen to me slowly. Six years ago, Danzo wanted to destroy the Uchiha Clan, and Shisui wanted to stop it. But unexpectedly, Danzo tried to kill him. Fortunately, Kakashi-senpai act in time and saved Shisui, but in order to make Danzo stop chasing after Shisui, Shisui is faking his death. Only Kakashi-senpai and I know about this matter."

"Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke was surprised. He didn't expect that Kakashi would also be involved in this.

"Yes, the reason why the Uchiha Clan can be treated in a very different way right now is because of Kakashi-senpai. Six years ago, the Uchiha Clan could not stand the treatment they got from the village and wanted a coup. I was originally threatened by Danzo to kill all of the Uchiha Clan's members. And at that time, Shisui and Kakashi-senpai returned to the village and started their plan that was prepared two years before to save the Uchiha Clan."

"It turns out that Kakashi-sensei was doing so many things for the Uchiha Clan." Sasuke's admiration for Kakashi soared.

"In that case, why did nii-san leave Konoha?" Sasuke asked in confusion.

"Because of the one who controlled the Kyuubi thirteen years ago, that person is very mysterious and proficient in Space Ninjutsu. Even Kakashi-senpai and I can't defeat him."

"How could it be possible!" Sasuke was shocked. In his heart, both Kakashi and Itachi are extremely powerful figures, and there are no people they couldn't deal with.

"That is the fact, in order to figure out what the mysterious man's plans are, I played a show with Kakashi-senpai by becoming a Rogue Shinobi. Then I was able to become undercover spy in that mysterious man's organization, so the situation became like this."

After he told the truth of the matter to Sasuke, Itachi seemed to have broken away a shackle in his heart, and instantly felt a lot relieved.

"But if that's the case, nii-san, you really worked so hard…" Sasuke said.

"Haha, Sasuke, this is the path I choose. There is nothing hard about it." Itachi said with a smile.

This is the first time that Itachi has smiled in these years. It is shallow but beautiful.

"Nii-san …"

"Sasuke, get stronger, I can feel that the future will not that simple. Maybe the entire Shinobi world will be in chaos. If I can't hold it anymore, please finish it for me."

"Nii-san! No! Nii-san, you will succeed!" Sasuke excitedly said.

"Haha, Sasuke, thank you for believing me, but this time, I am not sure. Sasuke, you are my younger brother, I believe you can accomplish what I can't do. Promise me Sasuke, become stronger and surpass me ""

After hearing Itachi's words, Sasuke was silent for a moment, then he nodded firmly, and said: "Nii-san, I will do it. I will become stronger, so that you can go home early. Tou-san and kaa-san are still waiting for you."

Itachi is silent after hearing this, 'Home? It's such a distant word. Can I really go back?'

"Thank you, Sasuke. I am sorry that this time, I still can't go back with you. I hope that when we meet next time, you already have the power to defeat me. Kakashi-senpai is very strong, since you have become his student, you need to work hard."

"Yes! Nii-san."

"Then, our conversation will end here."

Itachi beckoned, and Sasuke habitually walked forward. Itachi stretched out the finger of his right hand and lightly placed it on Sasuke's forehead.

"Sorry, Sasuke, I may need to make you lie in bed for a few days."

Feeling the familiar touch, a warm current flowed slowly across Sasuke's heart.

Before Sasuke could savor it, there was a sudden throbbing pain in his mind.

"Argh!" Sasuke let out a heart-piercing voice, and then fainted.

Tsukuyomi's space shattered. Looking at Sasuke who was in pain, Itachi turned his head away cruelly.

'Sasuke, grow up quickly.'

"Sasuke!"

Naruto yelled, rushed to hold Sasuke who has fainted, with a burst of anger in his heart.

"Damn it! How dare you do this to Sasuke!"

Naruto said as he was going to rushes towards Itachi to attack, but he was stopped by Jiraiya.

"Naruto, calm down, you are not his opponent."

"Ero-sennin!"

"Stop." Jiraiya yelled and Naruto finally calm down.

"I didn't expect that you would try to kill your own younger brother." Jiraiya said angrily.

"Jiraiya-sama, you're funny. Since you are here this time, we would not be able to take away the Kyuubi's Jinch?riki. Then, we can only retreat for now," Itachi said.

"You want to go?"

Itachi chuckled softly: "Kisame, do it."

Kisame who had been prepared for a while immediately launched a Ninjutsu: " Suiton: Bakusui Sh?ha!" (Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave)

A huge amount of water burst out of Kisame's mouth.

"Hmph, this kind of Water Release Ninjutsu is useless against me!" Jiraiya said.

Unexpectedly, the Water Release Ninjutsu did not move towards Jiraiya at all, but attacked Naruto and Sasuke.

"What! Damn it!"

Jiraiya was taken aback, and quickly formed hand seals with his hand.

"Doton: Dory?heki!" (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)

The emerging earth wall directly blocked the huge water waves, and the waves became weaker.

By the time the waves dissipated, the figures of Itachi and Kisame had already disappeared.
