Lord God Investigator

I don't know how long it took before Sasuke struggled out of the whirlpool of sadness. Itachi's blood had stained the entire white cloth red, and the room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Sighing, Sasuke still couldn't figure out why his brother committed suicide in front of him and in front of the shrine at home.

Maybe……

To atone for the murder of his parents?

It is difficult for people who kill their fathers and mothers to find peace of mind. After losing their life goals, they will become even more world-weary and desperate. Every day they live is like a walking zombie, and the torture of their souls will never subside.

Or maybe Itachi hoped that his only relative could help him deal with his funeral, clean up the scene of his seppuku, organize his remains, help him fulfill his last wish, and bury him.

The responsibility of the wrong person is not only to give the person who commits seppuku a quick blow, but also to deal with the aftermath of the person who commits seppuku.

Yes, besides his own brother, who else can help him do these things?

In the minds of other Konoha ninjas, Itachi was a madman and a murderer. All of his former friends were killed by Itachi himself, and the group of people organized by Akatsuki were just a hypocrite.

If you think about it carefully, your brother is countless times lonelier than you are, and there is no one in the world who truly agrees with him. Even Danzo, who ordered him to be exterminated, and Sarutobi, who sent him as a spy, were probably just using him.

Sasuke regretted why he didn't understand his brother's feelings before and treated him so coldly, asking him to give him time...

My brother obviously doesn't have time anymore. Even if he doesn't die of seppuku, it won't be long before he gets sick and dies!

Sasuke didn't notify anyone, and quietly packed up alone. He straightened Itachi's body, straightened his severed head, stuffed the intestines that had flowed out of the body back, took out the needles and threads he used to mend clothes and sewed up the abdominal wound. The broken neck crack was stitched up.

People who die by seppuku will not look good after death, so they must take care of their remains so that they can bid farewell to this world with dignity at the funeral.

Folding up the blood-stained white cloth on the ground, Sasuke brought a bucket of water, took off Itachi's white dress that had been stained red by blood, took a hand towel and wiped the bloody body clean, and changed him into a clean one. He turned to the left The gorgeous kimono covering the hem is a relic left by Uchiha Fugaku...

The blood soaked into the white cloth and soaked into the tatami. No matter how much I washed it, it couldn't be washed away, leaving a dark mark on the tatami.

The splashed blood dropped on the shrine, and even the memorial tablets of his parents were stained with a few drops. Sasuke picked up the memorial tablets and wanted to wipe them clean. After thinking about it carefully, he put them back and let the few drops of blood condense. Cheng Bi, staying on top is a symbol of his brother repaying the blood of his parents with his death.

After working until late at night, Sasuke cleaned up the scene of seppuku and arranged the living room into a mourning hall. Itachi's body was dressed in burial clothes and lay on the brocade quilt spread in the center of the living room, with a white cloth covering his face. .

There was nowhere to buy incense and candles at night, but there was no way to worship the deceased. Sasuke sat slumped next to Itachi, keeping vigil for him alone, thinking about how to hold a funeral for him tomorrow, who to invite to the funeral, and what to do. When choosing a cemetery, I don't know whether Itachi should be buried in the Uchiha clan's family cemetery or in the Heroic Spirits Cemetery in Konoha Village.

Perhaps, neither of these places is suitable for him to rest in peace, and even if he dies, he will not die in a suitable place.

How could someone who slaughtered the Uchiha clan be included in the Uchiha family cemetery? If he were buried there, he would be hated and ostracized by the undead of the Uchiha clan, right?

How could the Heroic Spirit Cemetery of Konoha Village accept an S-level traitorous ninja? In the minds of Konoha ninjas who didn’t know the truth, Itachi was a madman and a traitor!

Even though the truth about the night when the Uchiha clan was destroyed has been made public and reported to the press, and Danzo's despicable methods have been exposed, many people still believe that killing one's father and mother is an unforgivable crime, no matter what the reason. Not a traitor, but a cold-blooded killing machine.

If he is buried there, will the heroic spirits of Konoha accept him?

Thinking about the list of guests to invite to the funeral, Sasuke couldn't think of whom to invite. As his friend, Naruto-kun, a person who understands the truth and can understand Itachi's mood, he can invite him.

But besides Naruto, who else can I invite? It seems that there really is no one...

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Sasuke felt. He died without a burial place and no one attended the funeral. Is this the end of Itachi?

He doesn't deserve such treatment, unlimited censure and misunderstanding. People should understand his journey and understand his efforts for Konoha!

In the original plot, after learning the truth, Sasuke harbored such resentment and resented the Konoha villagers who had been helped by Itachi to stay safe, but treated Itachi as a demon, and came up with the idea of ​​destroying Konoha.

However, Sasuke now is not so extreme.

He knew that there must be other choices, there must be better ways. Naruto once warned him using Obito as an example: "You must not be extreme in your life. The struggle is not necessarily a straightforward fight. In the future of the ninja world, there will be a battle of wits." The importance of courage will definitely surpass that of fighting. No matter how strong a person is, if he does not have an excellent mind and can think rationally when encountering problems, he will never escape the end of being treated as a pawn. "

"Brother, I want to write a book."

Sasuke said to Itachi, regardless of whether he could hear it or not: "I will write down your life experience exactly as it is, your dreams, your dedication to Konoha, your friendship with Shisui, and the painful choices you made when you were in a dilemma. , Danzo's shameless betrayal, Sarutobi Hiruzen's use and concealment of the truth, and your... love for me."

Saying that, Sasuke smiled bitterly: "I can't write books, I don't even like reading very much... But I can learn. Even if it takes a lifetime, I have to hone my writing skills, learn to write, and become the best writer. I You must write this book well, turn it into a masterpiece, and let everyone who reads this book know the real you.

I want this book to win the largest literary award in the ninja world and have the greatest influence. It is best for everyone to read it...I know this is difficult and too wishful thinking, but I swear, I must do it. ! Let's call this book "The True Story of Itachi". "

After speaking his heart out, Sasuke calmed down, rubbed his eyes, and took the suicide note left by Itachi, wanting to see what his brother's last wish was and how he could help him realize it.

Opening the neatly folded suicide note, Sasuke was surprised to find that there were not many words written on it, only a few short sentences: "Sasuke, my dear brother, please, please accept my last request. You must Transplanting my eyes to you is the key to the advancement of the Mangekyou Sharingan! As for the funeral, there is no need to bother preparing for the funeral. Just give my body to Yakushi Kabuto and reincarnate me when necessary. There is a group of crows left for you, and one of them is very special. They are psychic beasts entrusted to me by a friend. They are contracted to be in your room. Help me take care of them. "

Clutching the suicide note tightly, Sasuke's eyes were filled with tears again. The tears fell on the letter paper, moistening it and blurring the handwriting.
