Chapter 57: Two People with Different Ideas

After saying that, the two groups quickly went their separate ways.

Uchiha Itachi needed to deal with his parents’ bodies.

Uchiha Izumi, meanwhile, wanted to retrieve her mother’s body.

She hadn’t insisted that Naruto help her kill Uchiha Itachi.

All she wanted was to continue increasing her strength and personally kill her enemy with her own hands.

Seeing Uchiha Izumi’s expression, Naruto felt a wave of uneasiness.

As he passed by Uchiha Itachi’s house, Naruto’s heart stirred.

He silently thought:

System, analyze Uchiha Fugaku.

The system’s analysis function only required the target to be nearby. Physical contact wasn’t necessary.

Its effective range was roughly one hundred meters.

Ding! Analysis of Uchiha Fugaku successful. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan, Fire, Lightning, and Yin Release Attributes, and the Complete Uchiha Ninjutsu Collection.

Would you like to fuse them?

No.

Naruto immediately rejected it.

He then turned toward Uchiha Izumi.

"Izumi, I’m going to take you somewhere. But you absolutely cannot get angry."

Uchiha Izumi shook her head.

"I want to retrieve my mother’s body first."

"No need to retrieve it!"

With that, Naruto directly grabbed Uchiha Izumi’s hand and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The scene before them changed.

A familiar figure came into view from behind!

Uchiha Izumi covered her mouth in disbelief.

She stared fixedly at the figure, her mind completely blank.

Sensing the disturbance behind her, Uchiha Hazuki immediately turned around.

"Izumi, is that you?"

"Mother!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Uchiha Izumi immediately threw herself into Uchiha Hazuki’s arms, tears filling her eyes.

"What happened to you, Izumi?"

Her mother, completely unaware of what had happened, gently stroked Uchiha Izumi’s back.

Uchiha Izumi shook her head while quietly sobbing.

These weren’t tears of sorrow.

They were tears of happiness.

Uchiha Hazuki then looked toward Naruto with an inquisitive expression.

Naruto didn’t dare say anything.

He could only gently shake his head.

Finally, several minutes later, Uchiha Izumi managed to compose herself.

She suddenly turned around and gritted her teeth.

"Naruto!"

She then lunged at him.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Naruto didn’t dare resist.

He simply stood there.

But instead of hitting him, Uchiha Izumi hugged Naruto and whispered:

"Thank you."

She had already figured it out.

Naruto had deliberately arranged everything so that she would awaken her Mangekyō.

Although the process had been extremely painful, she didn’t blame Naruto.

What could possibly be more worth celebrating than getting back something she had thought she’d lost forever?

Uchiha Izumi was still as gentle and understanding as ever.

Naruto gently stroked Uchiha Izumi’s head and whispered:

"I’m sorry."

Instead of being blamed, Naruto felt even more guilty.

As someone who had once been an ordinary person from Earth, Naruto knew that one of the most hurtful things someone could say was:

"I only did it because it was for your own good."

You couldn’t force your own wishes onto someone else simply because you believed they were right.

Uchiha Izumi, still hugging Naruto, shook her head.

Although she had no idea what had happened, Uchiha Hazuki couldn’t help smiling as she watched the two of them together, almost like a young married couple.

Elsewhere.

Somewhere in Konoha.

With his back turned toward Uchiha Itachi, the Third Hokage spoke:

"Itachi, first of all, I want to thank you.

"You have put an end to the internal conflict and protected the village’s peace."

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi slowly nodded behind him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued:

"However, I still regret that I couldn’t find another way to resolve the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan."

"I’m sorry."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

"I am the one who should apologize.

"From now on, Konoha will regard you as a rogue ninja who slaughtered the Uchiha clan and place you on the wanted list.

"Your life or death will not matter."

"I understand."

Uchiha Itachi nodded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head slightly.

"Can you tell me what happened tonight?

"And who was the other person capable of using Susanoo?"

"It was my father."

Uchiha Itachi kept his promise and concealed the truth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded without asking anything else.

They were both intelligent people.

Naturally, neither would ask where the eyes had gone.

Uchiha Itachi hadn’t taken his father’s eyes either.

At the same time, to prevent anyone from disturbing the corpses of his clansmen, he directly used Amaterasu to burn down the entire Uchiha district.

The flames still hadn’t gone out.

Several ANBU who had touched the black flames had been burned to death on the spot.

This was also a warning from Uchiha Itachi.

He had the ability to burn down the Uchiha.

He also had the ability to burn down Konoha.

The flames could not be extinguished!

At least for now, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no way to deal with them.

One hour later.

Uchiha Itachi glanced at Uchiha Obito beside him.

"Is something wrong?"

Obito, the calculating schemer, was somewhat puzzled.

He had already been glanced at numerous times along the way.

Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

"I thought you would stop at nothing to achieve your goals, but I didn’t expect you to be someone who keeps his promises."

Obito suddenly understood and explained:

"The purpose of our Akatsuki is to unify the shinobi world.

"Before our operation officially begins, weakening the major hidden villages is also one of our organization’s objectives.

"They’re hiding in Konoha for a reason, aren’t they?

"Isn’t that perfectly aligned with our own goals?"

After saying this, Obito glanced at Uchiha Itachi again.

"Besides, you wouldn’t let me reveal it either, would you?"

Uchiha Itachi remained silent.

His younger brother, Sasuke, still needed to rely on Konoha to grow.

And the other party was hiding within Konoha itself.

That made them impossible to guard against.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi hoped that Uchiha Izumi would look after Sasuke, considering that they belonged to the same clan.

As for the hatred over his mother’s death?

Although Uchiha Itachi hadn’t seen through Uchiha Hazuki’s disguise, after thinking about it afterward, there had been far too many suspicious details.

Her expression and behavior had both been abnormal.

He simply hadn’t paid attention to them at the time.

But now, Uchiha Itachi had figured it out.

The person suspected to be Minato Namikaze understood everything so thoroughly.

There was no way he couldn’t have saved Uchiha Izumi’s mother.

And afterward, Uchiha Itachi’s suspicions were confirmed.

Uchiha Hazuki’s body had not been taken away.

Everything had been arranged to help Uchiha Izumi grow stronger!

From Uchiha Itachi’s perspective, having been born and raised in the shinobi world, someone had planned everything for her and paved the way ahead.

That meant she was fortunate.

Just like the belief he firmly held regarding everything he had done to Sasuke.

Uchiha Itachi believed that everything he was doing for Sasuke was for his own good.

He believed that Sasuke would understand his difficulties one day.

The process might be painful.

But he believed Sasuke would be able to endure it.
