Neji's eyes twitched slightly, and he slowly raised his legs and turned his back to Sasuke.

"It's not that I'm arrogant or stupid in letting you go. It's just an agreement between me and Itachi. Since you insist on knowing the truth, I'll tell you. As for what you're going to do after knowing the truth, that's all.

It's your freedom, I won't interfere with you anymore."

With that said, Neji picked up the chair that had fallen due to the battle and set it up to sit down. Sasuke also stood up holding his chest.

"What does truth mean? The truth of what?"

Neji pretended to be surprised and smiled.

"Oh? Didn't you notice it at all before? The reason why I kept you safe and let you go is to fulfill the agreement between Itachi and I to protect you. From the beginning to the end, Itachi's favorite person is

You!"

"The person Itachi loves most is me? Stop joking! How is this possible? He killed everyone! I was almost killed by him! Now you are saying that the person he loves most is me?"

"Don't you believe it? After the Nine-Tails attack on Konoha in 16 years, Uchiha was suspected of being the mastermind behind it, and was therefore ostracized. The clan was driven to the edge of Konoha, and was monitored by ANBU, which was effectively isolated.

Their suspicions grew so bad that the Uchiha began to attempt a coup, and the upper echelons of Konoha sent a spy to the Uchiha clan, and that person was Itachi!"

Sasuke couldn't help but take two steps back, widened his eyes, and looked at Neji in disbelief.

"Uchiha wants a coup? Itachi is a spy?"

Not only was Sasuke in disbelief, but Tenten, who had been standing at the door with his eyes widened and his hands covering his mouth, was also in disbelief. However, Neji nodded.

"That's right. Although you were in Uchiha, you didn't know it because you were too young at that time. Your father Fugaku was the mastermind of the coup. You still remember that time I sent you to the door of your house. I originally wanted to leave, but in the end

Were you stopped by your father? That time your father was trying to win over me and wanted me to side with the Uchiha."

"Plop!"

Originally, Neci had never sent Sasuke home a few times. When Neci said this, Sasuke immediately recalled it and fell to the ground. Neji ignored it and continued to talk to himself.

"Itachi was originally a spy planted by your father in ANBU, but on the contrary, Itachi leaked family information to the village. In other words, Itachi was actually a double agent. That is such a heavy thing.

You can't even imagine it."

"Why? Why did Itachi betray Uchiha!"

Sasuke suddenly became excited and shouted loudly at Neji. Neji took a deep breath, leaned his back on the back of the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and continued to speak.

"When Itachi was four years old, he was sent to the battlefield to participate in the Third Ninja War. He witnessed too many deaths on the battlefield. In his opinion, war is hell. This inner shadow made Itachi grow into a passionate person.

He is a peaceful man. The upper echelons of the village took advantage of this and gave him a top-secret mission to wipe out everyone in the Uchiha clan!"

Neji's words seemed to instantly bring Sasuke back to the night of the genocide. Sasuke closed his eyes tightly and supported the ground with both hands. His body was shaking slightly. Tenten outside the door slumped to the ground after hearing these words. Even Shiro, who had always remained calm,

There was a look of horror on their faces.

Neji lowered his head, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Normally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for a kind-hearted person like Itachi to do something like this to his compatriots, but once a civil war breaks out, the entire Fire Nation will be shaken by it, and other countries may take advantage of the opportunity.

Entering, this may become the culprit of the war, countless irrelevant people will be involved, and many people will die, so Itachi decided to draw the curtain on the history of Uchiha by himself, which he has to bear alone

All decisions!”

Sasuke gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his body trembled even more violently. Neji lowered his head and looked at Sasuke.

"Itachi carried out his mission that night. As a criminal who killed a clan member, he became a traitor with the stigma of being a ninja. He killed his parents, lovers, friends, and all other clan members, but he did not kill you! Let

Your survival is the condition for Itachi to carry out this mission!"

Sasuke's eyes widened and his pupils kept shrinking and trembling. Neji still ignored him and continued to speak.

"Whether it is Uchiha's coup or Itachi's mission, they are all top secret. Why do you think I was able to arrive at such a critical time that day? That's because Itachi found me during the day when Itachi was performing the mission, and wanted to take you

Entrust it to me, 'I will bear all the sins. All these sins will belong to me, not to Uchiha. Uchiha is still a great family. I will make Sasuke hate me, and I will eventually die in Sasuke.

Assistant, this is what he said to me at the time. He wanted to use his death to let you do a lot of things. He paved almost all the roads for you, allowing you to return to the village gloriously as a hero. Of course

In the end, I refused his entrustment, but I still accompanied him into Xiao."

"Liar, this must be a lie! I was almost killed by him several times! He even used the Mangekyo Sharingan eye technique to kill me! Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu..."

At this moment, Bai Ye, who had been silent until now, suddenly walked up to Neji and spoke to Sasuke.

"If Master Itachi wanted to take your life, you would have died long ago. Do you think you are using me because you challenged me so many times? I am connected to Master Itachi's pupil technique, and every time you fight with me,

Itachi-sama can see clearly through my eyes. What kind of tricks he uses and how you will respond to them are all part of his calculations! Itachi-sama has always been thinking about you the most. In the Konoha Collapse Plan

After the death of the Third Hokage, Itachi-sama traveled from the Land of Rain to the Land of Fire in three days, just to show up quickly and let Danzo and the higher-ups of Konoha know that he was still alive and not to take action against you!"

Shiro's words were like thunder exploding in Sasuke's ears. Sasuke's expression became dull and his eyes were dull.

Shiro walked up to Sasuke step by step and squatted down, pinched Sasuke's chin and stared into Sasuke's eyes with his bright red Sharingan.

"Can your eyes see through all falsehoods? What a ridiculous joke. Your eyes didn't see through anything about Lord Itachi. You didn't see through any layer of phantoms that Lord Itachi spun. Lord Itachi is such a gentle person. You should be better than me."

It’s clearer, but he can only wipe out his emotions with blood and tears. He has killed countless compatriots for the so-called village, but he can’t do anything to you. Do you know what this means? This means that for him, you

His life is more important than the village than his own!"
