Chapter 81: The Sasuke Breakdown Plan
Uchiha Itachi tried to maintain his composure.
Even during the clan massacre back then, he never lost his composure.
Although his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
However, The Fool's actions were an insult to his character and a trampling of his dignity.
If it had been an ordinary woman, he could have backed down.
But damn it, it was Orochimaru. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
What was most infuriating was that The Foolsomehow knew what Uchiha Izumi looked like and managed to make Orochimaru resemble her by seventy or eighty percent.
His White Moonlight, his beautiful memories, were completely ruined.
The more miserable a person is now, the more they cherish the past.
Especially Uchiha Itachi.
What kept him alive was his younger brother and his memories.
"We have nothing to discuss."
Uchiha Itachi said coldly, "Although I don't know how you escaped my Tsukuyomi, it's useless. You must die today!"
Naruto really wanted to ask him, wasn't that week-long dream enjoyable?
Setting aside the name Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachididn't exactly suffer a loss.
But judging by his appearance, that would probably only provoke him further.
"Fighting here? Do you want to destroy Konoha?"
Naruto shrugged and said, "Or do you want Sasuketo see?"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi was momentarily speechless.
Given the strength of him and The Fool, a battle to the death would certainly be earth-shattering.
"Since things have come to this, killing me will only increase the burden on your body."
Naruto continued earnestly, "But, I can make amends."
"Amends? What can you use to make amends?"
Uchiha Itachi didn't believe him at all.
The last incident had already dragged his credibility straight to hell.
Was that even something a person would do?
Uchiha Itachi still hadn't figured out how he had been fooled.
Although Orochimaru had plastic surgery to look like Uchiha Izumi, there was no reason he should have fallen for it.
Yet, he was truly bewitched and spent a week by the lake.
When he came to his senses, he woke up feeling as if his body had been hollowed out.
The most outrageous thing was that he vaguely remembered The Fool even playing the role of the villain, Fa Hai.
Something about Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Snake Demon, 'I need you to help me cultivate,' and so on.
You were playing role-play!
Thinking carefully, the most likely possibility, yet the biggest impossibility, was...
He was caught in a Genjutsu.
"Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan."
Naruto saw his expression change, but at least he hadn't lost his mind, so he brought up the second crucial point to provoke Uchiha Itachi.
"Don't rush, wait until I finish. Don't you think this is a great opportunity to tell Sasuke about this?"
Yes, it's best if you, his older brother, tell him yourself.
It would be even more shocking.
"..."
Uchiha Itachi fell silent.
Being smart, he naturally understood what The Fool was saying.
But the problem was, wouldn't he suffer a Social Death in front of Sasuke?
Sasuke had already treated him like some kind of witch during the Night of the Clan Massacre, and now there's the legend of the white snake incident.
He and Sasuke would no longer have any relationship.
After all, he would have become the witch who possessed his older brother Uchiha Itachi's body and toyed with him.
Maybe this would be better.
I am a person who has committed monstrous sins.
Hopeless and unforgivable.
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes and said painfully, "What should I do?"
Naruto sighed.
He probably understood Uchiha Itachi's thoughts.
But some things cannot be regretted.
Time cannot flow backward; one can only cherish the present.
Naruto began to speak about his plan.
Konoha Destruction, NO.
Sasuke Breakdown, YES.
"Who exactly are you?"
After Uchiha Itachi finished listening, he voiced the confusion in his heart, "Why are you helping Sasuke?"
"Nothing much, just saving my life. See? You're talking to me calmly now."
"After the plan is over, you still have to die,"
Uchiha Itachi said flatly.
"..."
Good grief, you're challenging me, aren't you?
Lighten up! Didn't I just help you continue the Uchiha bloodline?
"Fine, I can play along, but if you want to kill me, you'll have to rely on your skill."
Naruto suddenly felt that fighting Uchiha Itachiwouldn't be bad.
Up until now, he had never used his full strength.
The Fool only had half his strength, which is why he was chased and beaten.
But if it were him, such a situation would be impossible.
For a moment, he felt a bit excited.
"When the time comes, I'll see you at the Valley of the End."
"Alright."
Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly.
Why was this guy acting so unusually, his eyes filled with confidence?
Hmph, don't think that just because you escaped my Tsukuyomi, you can defeat me.
"Oh right, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should..."
Naruto stopped walking and said.
"What is it?"
"Have you considered something? Given your current physical condition, you definitely won't live long. When only Sasuke is left, how will the Uchiha be strengthened?"
"What do you mean?"
Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice, "As long as he can advance his Sharingan to the highest level, the Uchiha will naturally be strengthened."
Sure enough, the two brothers share the same mindset.
Naruto shook his head and said, "Is that useful? He'll just be a lonely man. To truly revitalize the Uchiha, you need people. Unless Sasuke finds someone to have a bunch of kids with."
"That's impossible!"
Uchiha Itachi said without thinking.
Given Sasuke's personality, he would never do such a thing.
To be honest, it would be a blessing if he even managed to find one girl he liked.
"Right? So that means it's up to you."
"???"
Uchiha Itachi was utterly confused by this sudden turn. He held it in for a moment, then said, "Impossible!"
"I thought so too."
Naruto shrugged and said, "But I have one last method."
"What method?"
Uchiha Itachi asked subconsciously.
He felt that what The Fool said made sense.
What if Sasuke didn't have a single child? Wouldn't the Uchiha truly die out?
Then he would be a Sinner for all time.
As for the so-called Uchiha Madara, he couldn't be counted on either.
"Orochimaru's cloning. You won't need either of you to start a harem to achieve it."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi fell silent once more.
He really wanted to know what The Fool's Thought Process was.
But... it seemed quite reasonable.
"Of course, I'm just giving you advice."
Naruto vanished from the spot and returned to the Treehouse.
Since he was going to spar with Uchiha Itachi, this month definitely couldn't be wasted.
To avoid failure, he had to increase his strength.
One way was naturally to complete achievements and Draw Cards.
Another was the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu, such as Adamantine Sealing Chains, which is very useful against large targets like Susanoo.
The third was the Reaper Death Seal, not to die along with Uchiha Itachi, but to retrieve the other half of Kurama.
The Shinigami can be Exploit a Bug.
After all, Orochimaru had demonstrated it.
But he currently lacked the ability to Reincarnate.
Naruto turned his attention to the Active Achievements.
Orochimaru's achievement was experiencing the taste of love, namely the legend of the white snake, which was already complete.
His two teammates' achievements were Jiraiyaquitting whoring forever, and Tsunade becoming the God of Gamblers.
Wait, Naruto found a Blind Spot.
Damn, Orochimaru actually experienced love.
Could it be...?
I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.
Besides the Sannin, the only others in Konoha with active achievements were Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Danzo's was voluntarily giving up the Hokageposition.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, his was simply impossible to complete.
His active achievement was making him the truly Strongest Hokage.
How many cheats would that require? It's simply not worth the effort.
