Chapter 228 Sasuke's Decision
Uchiha Fugaku's house is the only surviving house in the Uchiha Clan's residence after the fight.
"Tou-san! How could Nii-san betray the village and the Clan! It must be wrong! No! I don't believe it! This is impossible!"
The childish voice was filled with unimaginable anger and doubt.
In the room, a boy about eight years old yelled hysterically, his face was sluggish, apparently suffering a huge blow.
This boy is Sasuke.
Today, Sasuke was going to school, and it was dark when he came back.
After he stepped into the Uchiha Clan's residence, he was shocked by everything in front of him.
The ruined Uchiha Clan's residence made Sasuke's heart tense, and it seemed that something important had disappeared.
Sasuke, carrying a small schoolbag, ran all the way and returned to the home he most familiar with.
Sasuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar house.
'My house is still there, it should be okay, right?'
With this mentality, Sasuke ran back home quickly.
Seeing his father and mother who were okay in front of him, Sasuke's tense heart starts to calm down.
Only when Sasuke asked what was going on outside, Fugaku told Sasuke an answer that he couldn't accept at all.
Itachi has defected…
His gentle big brother actually defected?
Also a lot of his clansmen were murdered?
He ran away with a mysterious masked man?
'How is it possible!'
This is the only thought in Sasuke's mind.
"Sasuke, what you father said is true, Itachi…"
Uchiha Mikoto said as the corners of her eyes were already moist, and then she turned her body and started sobbing.
"Kaa-san…"
Seeing Mikoto said the same thing, Sasuke had to believe it even if he didn't want to.
"Sasuke, Itachi has already betrayed the village and the whole clan by colluding with foreign enemies. From now on, he is not my son, nor your brother."
Fugaku looked at Sasuke with a serious face and his eyes were burning.
Sasuke was startled, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
That look was originally is the most enviable thing for Sasuke.
Because that was Fugaku's gaze when he looked at Itachi, the kind of feeling that was full of expectation.
Originally, this was what Sasuke wanted most, but now when it really happened, Sasuke found that he regretted it.
He doesn't need this. All he wants is his big brother!
"Tou-san! What the hell is going on! Nii-san… How could Nii-san betray our clan? Tell me, this is not true, right? This is a mission, right?"
Fugaku's eyes twitched, but he still said sharply: "Sasuke, as I said, Itachi is no longer your brother, you don't have a brother, he is just a traitor!"
"No! I don't believe it!"
Sasuke said, pushing Fugaku away and ran out of his house.
Two lines of tears sliding from the corner of Sasuke's eyes.
Fugaku didn't stop Sasuke and just watched him leave.
"Fugaku, is Sasuke okay?"
"It's okay, as the son of Uchiha Fugaku, how could he be so fragile."
"Futake, did Itachi really …"
Mikoto's look of expectation obviously also hopes that Futake can be. Tell him that this is just a task
The expression on Mikoto's face obviously shows that she hopes that Fugaku can tell her that this is just a mission.
Fugaku sighed and said: "Mikoto, from now on, we only have one son, Sasuke."
Fugaku finished speaking, got up and left.
"Itachi …"
Mikoto murmured softly while looking out the window and her eyes are full of tears.
Fugaku walked to a corner of the courtyard, still remembering what happened inside Itachi's Tsukoyomi.
…
"Father, I'm sorry for this. It seems that there is no hope anymore."
"Itachi, you really arranged all of this. If what Kakashi said is true, then the Uchiha Clan can be considered to be reintegrated to Konoha. But what are you doing now? Who is that masked man?"
"Father, that masked man called himself Uchiha Madara."
"What? How could that be possible! That man is already dead!"
"Father, I know that too, but that masked man is indeed very powerful. His Space Type Ninjutsu is probably stronger than Yondaime Hokage's. Moreover, his eye is a Mangekyō Sharingan."
"What? Is it really him?"
Fugaku felt a huge shock in his heart, obviously unable to digest the news.
"Father, Kakashi-senpai's help this time is enough to destroy the rebellious thoughts in our clansmen's minds, but all of this is still not enough. Danzo still needs an explanation, and we also need a spy like me to monitor that masked man. He is too dangerous."
"Itachi! Are you…"
Fugaku looked at the teenager in front of him, as if he had never known him.
Or in the other words, his growth already exceeded Fugaku's expectations.
"Father, I have already decided."
Fugaku sighed and said: "Itachi, since you have decided, then do it. After all, you are my pride."
"Thank you Father, please take care of Sasuke. He has great potential. With time, he will definitely surpass me."
"I understand, don't worry."
"Thank you Father, don't tell others about me, including Mother."
Fugaku squeezed out a smile and said: "Silly boy, your father is also a ninja, so he will definitely know how to keep it secret. Rest assured, complete the mission early, so you can come back early. Mikoto, Sasuke, and I will all be waiting for you to come back."
Silent tears slid through Itachi's cheeks, and he finally only able to say two words.
"Thank you…"
…
In the courtyard, Fuyue sighed and murmured: "Itachi, come home soon."
Sasuke ran all the way to the third training field where he used to train with Itachi.
Such a long distance is still a bit difficult for Sasuke, who is only eight years old.
Panting heavily, Sasuke looked at the empty training field, feeling sad for no reason.
"Nii-san… Did you really betray the clan? I don't believe, how could this be, you are so gentle."
When Sasuke thought about it, he couldn't help but recall what happened when the clan's members came to question Itachi when Shisui died.
Itachi's weird Sharingan, and that strange words.
"What the hell is truth!"
Sasuke knelt helplessly on the ground, his bangs became messy.
"Nii-san… I need you… how could you leave…"
Sasuke lay on the ground, and a light rain began to fall from the sky.
The rain fell on Sasuke's thin body.
Sasuke didn't get up, but was still lying on the ground. It seemed that this was the only way to make him feel better.
"No! Nii-san must not be doing this voluntarily! Yes, Nii-san must be forced! It was the foreign enemy that Tou-san had said, he must have forced Nii-san. I must save Nii-san! I must!"
It seems that after he found the root of the matter, Sasuke's eyes became very firm, and a flash of blood flashed across his dark pupils!
