On the other end of the island, Sasuke stood alone in the storm. His clothes were soaked, and the bangs on his forehead were also wet by the rain, sticking to both sides of his cheeks.

Sasuke had been standing here for a while, and he seemed to be waiting for something, but he seemed to be stagnant due to hesitation.

In addition to the sound of wind and rain, you can also hear the sound of fighting in the air. It was the sound of Uchiha Itachi and Ganji Kisame fighting with Santa.

The sound of wind and rain continued, but the sound of fighting stopped after a while.

"finally……"

Sasuke placed his hand on the Kusama Satsuki sword and took a slightly forward with his right leg.

The original Sasuke would not hesitate, because at that time Sasuke was determined to take revenge, and he wanted to rush to Uchiha Itachi immediately, either kill Uchiha Itachi or be killed by Uchiha Itachi, and he will be free from this and be completely eliminated.

However, Sasuke at this moment did not seek revenge, but to save Uchiha Itachi and pull Itachi out of the abyss of pain.

Different purposes, different moods.

This may be a timid feeling near home!

Revenge is often easy. You only need to be dominated by impulses and can move forward without being controlled by anything.

But facing his long-lasting reunion and his brother who was infatuated with all the infamous, Sasuke didn't know what attitude he should face Itachi.

In the distance, the battle between Sanwei was over, and Sasuke was at the moment when he had to make a choice.

There were clear rows of footprints printed on the muddy soil. The steps were neither too fast nor too slow, but they were walking forward persistently.

'rustle……'

A sound of rain that beats the leaves was heard.

Uchiha Itachi stopped walking and looked behind him with a complicated expression. There was nothing but the dense forest, but Uchiha Itachi knew that Sasuke was waiting for him in the woods at this moment.

Uchiha Itachi was waiting too, and he had been waiting for many years.

"Kisame! You go back first!" Uchiha Itachi's voice was particularly calm.

Kisame also noticed something strange in the woods. When he heard Itachi's words, Kisame cracked his mouth and grinned his teeth and said, "Tsk! Be careful not to be killed!"

After saying that, Kisame manipulated the water flow to control the three tails to continue moving forward. Uchiha Itachi turned around and walked towards the depths of the woods.

'rustle……'

Pulling away the covered leaves, Uchiha Itachi walked to the clearing in the forest, and Sasuke's originally calm eyes instantly became excited.

"Uchiha Itachi! As agreed, I'm here to find you!"

Sasuke's eyes instantly turned into scarlet three magma Sharingans, staring at Uchiha Itachi and roaring: "With the same eyes as you!"

Without using Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi seemed quite calm. Compared to Sasuke, who could not control his emotions, Uchiha Itachi could maintain his expression at any time.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Itachi's eyes also turned into the Sharingan of the Three Eagle, but the blockage of the storm and the already blurred vision, even with the Sharingan's insight, it was impossible for Itachi to see Sasuke's face clearly.

"It's really not the time to rain..."

Itachi knew that Sasuke had understood the truth about the extermination of the clan, and Hinata also told him about the plan to open Sasuke's eyes.

The plan may be successful, but Itachi knew his body very well. He couldn't guarantee that he could survive. This might be the last time Itachi met Sasuke, but he couldn't even see his brother's face clearly.

Maybe it can be closer.

"Why!"

Sasuke asked in anger: "Itachi! Why do you do that!"

"I do not understand!"

"I could have had a better choice at the beginning, why did you have to go that step!"

After learning about the truth about the Uchiha extermination, this was Sasuke's only doubt.

Sasuke has communicated with Hinata about family and villages more than once, and Hinata has said more than once that if he had to make a choice between village and family, Hinata would definitely choose a family.

Sasuke had already understood the situation back then, and Obito and Hinata had told him some.

But since Itachi and Shimizu had that kind of pupil power back then, why didn't they try it? Even if the coup failed, they could still take some of their tribesmen to escape from Konoha and live a seclusion life.

Extermination of the clan... This is too cruel!

Uchiha Itachi said calmly: "It's all over..."

"No!"

Sasuke said coldly: "This matter has not passed yet. As long as I am here, it will never end!"

Sasuke was covered with murderous intent, and the cold and evil chakra made the temperature around him extremely cold.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes darkened. He understood Sasuke. If he could not give Sasuke a reasonable explanation today, he might have done something more extreme.

"Sasuke! I had no choice in that situation back then!"

A trace of abnormal flush flashed across Uchiha Itachi's face, "The Nine-Tail Rebellion has only ended for seven years, and Konoha's strength has weakened to its lowest point in history. Once Uchiha launches a coup, regardless of whether the coup is successful or not, Konoha's strength will be further weakened."

"Once this happens, the major ninja villages that are already eyeing Konoha will wait for an opportunity to move, and the Fire Kingdom will be immediately shrouded in war."

"Brother Zhishui and I want to change the family, but we can't do anything about it!"

Looking at Sasuke, Itachi's tone seemed a little weak: "The tribesmen were already blinded by desire and violence, immersed in the glory of Uchiha's past, but could not see the changes in the times."

"Just like you are now... You can't listen to whatever I say!"

Sasuke's angry expression suddenly calmed down, and he said indifferently: "Is it because of this?"

Uchiha Itachi said slowly: "Sasuke, I was born a few years earlier than you. I have seen the cruelty of war with my father. Maybe you will never understand how desperate those civilians are when the world is in the fire of war!"

"The village that was originally happy, rich and uncontested was turned into ruins just because ninjas were fighting nearby. The living people lost their relatives and friends, and also lost their homes on which they depend for survival. They had to wander around the ninja world!"

"I can't remain indifferent after witnessing such a tragic situation!"

Looking at Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi said firmly, "I did all this not just for Konoha, but for the country of Fire, and for other countries!"

Sasuke's originally cold eyes eased. He was not a cruel person, and he also felt tenderness in his heart. Hearing Itachi's slow statement, Sasuke seemed to be able to understand Itachi's mood a little.

"Let's start!"

After a long time, a trace of fighting spirit appeared in Sasuke's eyes.

The battle with my brother was not mixed with any purpose, but simply wanted to defeat my brother who had never been defeated.

Sasuke slowly pulled out the Sausage Sword.

"We have been waiting for this battle for a long time!"
Chapter completed!
