Practicing Naruto

Why did Itachi lie to Sasuke?

Could it be that Itachi really had a reason for massacring the Uchiha clan?!

This was Naruto's guess after seeing the current scene. Itachi was in the fearful world he saw. Judging from his performance and inner resistance, he did not originally intend to massacre the Uchiha clan.

As for what the reason was, Naruto didn't know. The answer would only lie in Itachi's own heart.

"I'm sorry...I didn't want to..." Itachi knelt on the ground and looked at a little Uchiha boy lying on the ground, his face full of pain.

"Ah..." At this moment, an Uchiha woman heard the screams outside and came out to look for her children. At a glance, she saw more than a dozen children lying in a pool of blood. There were also people on the field covered in blood and holding hands in pain.

No Uchiha Itachi.

No need to think about it to know that the murderer is Itachi Uchiha!

"Uchiha Itachi!" the woman shouted sternly.

Hearing the woman's shouting, Uchiha Itachi, who was kneeling on the ground, had a cruel sneer on his lips. He stood up, holding a bloody kunai, and staggered towards the woman.

Walking in front of the woman, Uchiha Itachi stabbed the screaming woman without hesitation.

"No... don't kill her..." Uchiha Itachi shouted in his heart, trying his best to stop the body that kept shouting. Perhaps his shout was heard by the body and it actually stopped.

"Hufufu..." Itachi Uchiha gasped for air.

"Uchiha Itachi, are you sure you don't want to kill her? If you don't kill her, it means that the person you saved will die. Are you going to betray your choice?"

At this time, a face poked out from behind the woman, followed by a figure. Uchiha Itachi suddenly looked up and found that the person looked exactly like himself. To be precise, it was another 'Uchiha Itachi'.

'Uchiha Itachi' raised his head, with a sinister smile on his face, and said to Itachi: "Itachi, are you sure you don't want to kill her? If she lives, he will not be able to live..."

It was like a magic voice that penetrated into Itachi's ears, seducing the devil in his heart, "I...I..." Itachi felt himself sweating profusely and was speechless.

He didn't know how to refute his other self.

Yes, this is his own choice. It is to protect his dearest brother. If these people do not die, his brother will die...

His dearest brother...

But……

These are also his dearest clan members...

"Itachi, are you sure you want to betray your choice?" 'Uchiha Itachi' asked Itachi again.

Itachi fell silent, and the kunai stopped dead less than half a centimeter away from the woman's neck...

"Hahaha..." 'Uchiha Itachi' laughed wildly, leaning forward and backward with laughter. After laughing, 'Uchiha Itachi' looked at Itachi with a sneer and said: "Humph, the root cause of everything is that you are too weak.

Already? If you are strong enough, you can destroy those people who asked you to make choices?"

"A weak person has made a choice, but he has also started to act in both directions. He is worthy of being a weak person, and he can do such a thing."

"In the face of choices, you are cowardly and timid. Then, let me help you make this choice. Don't worry, I will make the choice you want to make the most."

"That is, kill everyone and protect one person. Hahaha..." A devilish smile filled Itachi's ears...

"You won't kill me if you can't do it. Then, let me help you do it and kill you!" After saying this, 'Uchiha Itachi' snatched the kunai from Itachi's hand and plunged it into the woman.

From his neck, blood spattered Itachi's face.

Weasel was unmoved.

The balance is beginning to tilt toward the other side.

'Let me bear all this, even if I will sink into endless hell and not be able to go to the Pure Land...' This was Itachi's last voice.

Next, he became numb and watched helplessly as another 'Uchiha Itachi' went on a killing spree in the Uchiha clan, killing people like crazy, but Itachi didn't even try to stop him.

Because, he knew that the other 'Uchiha Itachi' was himself.

It is you who follows your inner choice.

"Itachi, is this your choice? Father is proud of you, and I hope you will not regret your choice in the future..." Kunai stabbed into the body of his father Uchiha Fugaku, who said to him before he died.

's last sentence.

And her mother, Uchiha Mikoto, had already gone ahead.

Itachi's fear caused by the passage through the secluded world ends here.

Itachi's spirit has returned to his body, but he has not yet recovered from his fear, and his face is still full of pain.

Naruto looked at Itachi and sighed in his heart, remembering that in Itachi's heart, killing the Uchiha clan by himself had always been the last thing he wanted to face, and it was the fear in his heart.

Also, judging from his inner dialogue with his other self, someone forced Itachi to make a choice, and the person he chose was the Uchiha clan and one person.

That person, it was not difficult for Naruto to guess, was Itachi's younger brother Sasuke.

Itachi chose to massacre his parents so that Sasuke could survive.

This choice was also the reason why Itachi was haunted by nightmares.

Therefore, all the words Itachi said to Sasuke just now were untrue. What he loves most is his younger brother Sasuke. However, as the murderer of the Uchiha clan, Itachi no longer has the face to face Sasuke.

.

How could he dare to beg Sasuke for forgiveness after doing such a thing? Although he said it was for Sasuke's own good, had he asked Sasuke? Did Sasuke want this kind of kindness?

He didn't ask, he made everyone's choice alone, which is why he has to keep up his acting skills.

"Naruto..." At this time, Naruto heard a whisper, it was Sasuke calling his name. Naruto immediately looked away from Itachi and fell on Sasuke.

Although there was still pain on Sasuke's face, he was already awake, otherwise he would not have called Naruto's name. Sasuke looked at Naruto.

Naruto caught Sasuke's gaze, immediately came to Sasuke's side, and asked with concern: "Sasuke, are you okay?"

Sasuke shook his head and said: "I'm fine. What can Itachi's tricks do to me? If I don't kill Itachi, I will never die."

Saying this firmly, Sasuke raised his eyes and saw Itachi kneeling in front of him, his hair covering his face, motionless.

"Itachi, I'm going to kill you!" When Sasuke saw Itachi, the anger in his heart arose again. He immediately climbed in front of Itachi with the Grass Pheasant Sword in hand, raised the Grass Pheasant Sword, and wanted to stab Itachi in the chest.

When he was one centimeter away, Itachi raised his head, with blood pouring from the corner of his mouth. Seeing the cold light of the Grass Pheasant sword in front of him, Itachi showed a trace of tenderness in the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Brother, please kill me.

…”

"What did you call me?" Upon hearing Itachi's name, Sasuke was immediately furious. He moved his Kusanagi sword forward and pressed it against Itachi's chest.

Itachi's face was in pain. He was exhausted from the torture in the world of fear just now. He stretched out his right hand with all his strength and held the blade of the Grass Pheasant Sword hard. Blood immediately dripped from the fingers of his palm. Itachi said seriously

Looking at Sasuke, he said: "Brother, kill me!"

"Don't call me brother, you don't deserve it!" Sasuke was furious.

Looking at the furious Sasuke and Itachi who wanted to die, Naruto finally spoke:

"Itachi, do you regret it?"
