Late at night.
Hoshigaki Kisa knocked on Uchiha Itachi’s door.
Once inside, the first thing Hoshigaki Kisa said made Uchiha Itachi’s heart tighten: "I’m sorry to disturb you so late, Mr. Itachi, but soone wants to use my mouth to threaten you. If any of our organization’s information is leaked, Uchiha Sasuke will be torn to pieces."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi slowly released his hand and calmly said, "Killing Sasuke ans nothing to , does it? Anyway, I’ll kill him sooner or later..."
"No need to pretend."
Hoshigaki Kisa sat down in front of Uchiha Itachi, delivering each word like a hamr to Itachi’s heart: "Mr. Itachi killed the whole clan just to protect Uchiha Sasuke’s life, so why be so stubborn about it? Very few in the Akatsuki know about this, but unfortunately, I’m one of them."
"Who told you? Uchiha Obito?"
Uchiha Itachi’s hand tightened again, ready to react at any mont.
Being seized by one’s weakness is a very uncomfortable feeling.
Uchiha Itachi preferred to plan three moves ahead, using his intelligence to work from the shadows, ensuring everything appeared flawless so that those who thought they controlled him would only realize they had lost control when it was too late.
Now, others bypass all that nonsense and directly threaten him with Sasuke’s life, making it difficult for Uchiha Itachi to manipulate the situation.
Faced with this, Uchiha Itachi sought to turn the tables, willing to reveal a crucial secret to Kisa: "But back then, I spared Sasuke’s life only because my Sharingan was running low on power, so I needed Sasuke’s eyes to regain the Mangekyo Sharingan’s strength..."
"Pfft..."
Hoshigaki Kisa couldn’t help but laugh, waving his hand apologetically: "Sorry, sorry, I just couldn’t hold it in..."
Uchiha Itachi’s face instantly turned sour.
Was his act seen through? Or what?
Inexplicably, he felt like a clown.
The Kisa before him had always presented himself as a very standard ninja, strictly following orders from above.
Yet, at this mont, Uchiha Itachi had the distinct feeling that Kisa saw through everything!
Uchiha Itachi’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant as he looked at Kisa. Firm in his belief, he asked: "Did you know everything? Or have you always known?"
The two questions held different implications.
One implied Kisa discovered it recently, the other, that he had seen through his thoughts long ago.
If it were the first, that would be fine...
If it’s the latter, then Uchiha Itachi truly felt like he’d always been a clown in Kisa’s eyes.
"Sorry, I’ve always known."
Hoshigaki Kisa grinned, revealing his shark teeth.
Uchiha Itachi’s heart pounded, his face grew ever more grim, and finally, with his impatience unveiled, he spoke deeply: "So you’ve always been watching everything between and Sasuke from the shadows, mocking in your heart?"
Damn it, how infuriating!
Imagining all the effort he put into avoiding Kisa, secretly teaching Sasuke ninjutsu, suddenly seed like a joke to Uchiha Itachi.
Every ti Sasuke provoked him, Itachi would casually beat him, ridicule him as a failure, to fuel Sasuke’s resentnt and unyielding will, and Kisa must have been laughing to himself from the sidelines!
Damn it, he really didn’t want to endure this any longer!
Itachi felt like his life these past years was that of a circus clown, performing jokes for Kisa day after day without pause!
How did it co to this!
Uchiha Itachi was not doing well. He found it hard to suppress his rage anymore, for he was an Uchiha, a proud individual!
All the ninjas in the Ninja World should be under their Uchiha’s control, so how had he beco a joke!
And every ti he covertly passed ninjutsu to Sasuke under Kisa’s watch, he couldn’t help feeling disdain for Kisa...
He never imagined he was the real joke in Kisa’s eyes!
Sha... humiliation... anger...
These words were insufficient to express Itachi’s feelings. He felt stripped bare, cast under the light for Kisa to judge.
Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists, looked at Kisa, and questioned word for word: "So you knew everything and still always humiliated Sasuke in front of , deliberately provoking and testing ?"
"Huh?"
Kisa was caught off guard by this question. Why ask this, wasn’t Mr. Itachi supposed to be feeling too humiliated at this point?
Kisa was actually quite pleased inside!
Previously, every ti Uchiha Itachi secretly tried to teach Sasuke ninjutsu, he probably thought disdainfully of the useless Sharkman who couldn’t even notice such things...
Do you realize it now?
He, Hoshigaki Kisa, knew everything!
But he said nothing, just watched the two brothers fooling around!
The satisfaction was beyond explainable!
Like jumping into a cold bath on a hot day, an indescribable pleasure.
Yet when Kisa was secretly pleased, he was hit with Itachi’s question, leaving him unsure how to respond?
This...
How should he put it?
Honestly?
"If..."
Kisa looked at Itachi and calmly said: "What if I was just standing up for you, Mr. Itachi?"
Kisa stared directly into Itachi’s eyes without flinching from the crimson Sharingan and spoke solemnly: "Mr. Itachi, are you really going to sacrifice yourself for a kid? Your talent and strength are among the two greatest I have ever seen in my life.
You were ant to have a greater stage in this Ninja World. If you’re willing to kill Sasuke, illness is but a minor inconvenience, and you will have the chance to truly witness the truth of this world!"
Kisa spoke honestly.
He genuinely wanted to persuade Uchiha Itachi to defect.
Uchiha Itachi was the most respected ninja in Kisa’s heart, and Uehara Naraku was his most respected leader.
If Uchiha Itachi were willing to join Uehara Naraku, he would definitely have a much broader stage!
Under Uehara Naraku’s banner, everyone was treated equally, offering them significant rewards, including extended lifespan, freeing them from worries.
Kisa learned the truth and gained trendous power; Hozuki Mangetsu gained new life, capable of secretly guiding and protecting his brother; Ringo Ayuri was cured of illness.
Should Uchiha Itachi join Uehara, given Uehara Naraku’s high regard for him, Itachi would likely gain even more, and his brother Uchiha Sasuke’s safety would be assured!
For instance, Hozuki Mangetsu’s brother, Hozuki Suigetsu, was so brazen in the Ninja World, constantly causing trouble for his brother, yet nothing happened because a guy nad Yakushi Kabuto was secretly aiding him, right?
"As long as you are willing to pledge allegiance to my superior..."
Kisa looked at Uchiha Itachi, his expression becoming incredibly serious: "Mr. Itachi, although the boss occasionally indulges in so sadistic humor, treating this world as a ga!
But the boss treats his people very generously, he will heal your body and protect your brother, there is nothing the boss cannot do, he is the god of this world!"
"There is no god in this world."
Uchiha Itachi calmly shook his head, then suddenly, in a probing manner, spoke: "Kisa, your superior isn’t Uchiha Obito... is it?"
"..."
Hoshigaki Kisa curled up the corners of his mouth, looked at Uchiha Itachi with an amused smile: "Mr. Itachi, today you’ve learned plenty, but in light of your trump cards being exposed, are you sure you want to keep asking?"
