Chapter 253: Why Are You Unhappy When Someone Else Arranges Your Life

Uehara was in a good mood.

While Itachi was in a very bad mood.

According to the story made up by Uehara, Itachi was basically sure that Sasuke should be dead set on following these guys.

Now, if Naruto persuaded Sasuke to return to Konoha, the difficulty would be more than one level higher. Itachi was even a little glad that he put Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan on Naruto.

“I have finished my story.”

Uehara looked at Itachi and his expression gradually calmed down. He smiled and continued, “Itachi-san, now it is your turn to decide whether to hand over Shisui’s Mangekyo Sharingan or not.”

“It’s not necessary anymore.”

Itachi closed his eyes and softly said, “Even without Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan, Sasuke will not betray you. Moreover, that Kotoamatsukami has already been destroyed because of my lack of protection.”

“Ha~”

Uehara shook his head and sighed. He looked at everyone present and said, “Well, do you think what he said is funny?”

The people present fell into silence.

What Itachi said was funny?

However, due to Uehara’s majesty, Obito could only laugh a few times, while Kisame gave him face and smiled.

Kabuto slowly pushed up his glasses and looked at Itachi with a sneer on his face, “It’s enough to deceive others. But there’s no need to lie to us… You have to know that your younger brother Sasuke, is still in our hands!”

Uehara tilted his head and said coldly, “We always only look at the results and never look at the process. If the result you say does not satisfy us, we will kill Sasuke.”

“…”

Itachi frowned slightly.

This Uehara seemed to be a little unreasonable!

How could this guy not play according to common sense? At the very least, you should show some words of disbelief or questioning!

However, Itachi calmed himself down and decided to make up a story, “Before Shisui committed suicide in front of me, I did indeed obtain his Sharingan. But after he died, I opened my own Mangekyo Sharingan…”

“Well… please continue to make up a story.”

Uehara waved his hand and looked at Kabuto with a smile, “Kabuto, I don’t think there is a need to keep Itachi-san’s Mangekyo for Sasuke…”

“I think so too.”

Kabuto smiled and nodded. He slowly raised the small bottle in his hand, and then slowly released his palm, “Then let Sasuke use his Mangekyo Sharingan until he losses his sight! Anyway, we have enough strength…”

“Wait!”

Itachi’s expression changed and he hurriedly stopped Kabuto.

Originally, he did not take the threat of Kabuto and Uehara seriously. Now it seemed that they really did not care about this!

Then he could only use the second plan!

Itachi firmly stared at Kabuto, and said in a low voice, “I hid Kotoamatsukami’s Mangekyo Sharingan on a person, and that person would only reveal it after seeing my Mangekyo Sharingan.”

“Who is it?”

The corner of Uehara’s mouth curved, and he lightly smiled, “Now tell us the name of the person. We will take you to him now…”

“…”

Itachi was silent for a while.

Although there was a hesitation on his face, Itachi had already made up his mind. Because Itachi already thought about the pros and cons.

Now, if he revealed the truth and if these people took him to see Naruto; that crow with Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan would emerge and use Kotoamatsukami to rewrite his will, then he would be free.

After he was free, the first thing he would do was to burn that crow with Amaterasu and then take back his Mangekyo Sharingan from these people.

This plan seemed to work.

At this time, Uehara suddenly raised his finger, and Obito suddenly said, “If we take Itachi to find Kotoamatsukami, I am a little worried that he will play some tricks…

Why don’t we transplant Itachi’s Sharingan to Sasuke and then take Sasuke to find that person? If we can’t find Kotoamatsukami, how about we let Itachi kill Sasuke?”

“…”

Kabuto and Kisame looked at Obito in surprise and then looked at Uehara. Obviously, they knew that this was what Uehara said by controlling Obito.

Itachi couldn’t help but look up at Obito.

To be honest, what Obito suggested seemed to be good?

Itachi began to think again. Obito’s suggestion was also very consistent with his plan. As long as Sasuke obtained his eye power and opened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he would be changed by Kotoamatsukami when he went to see Naruto.

The strength of an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan Sasuke was stronger. At that time, he would have a greater chance to eliminate everyone present. Even if he could not deal with them, Sasuke would definitely be able to get away and take this opportunity to return to Konoha!

Itachi’s expression slightly calmed down. He did not expect that Obito was still so stupid. According to his suggestion, it seemed to be better for him!

After thinking about this, Itachi no longer hesitated, and said in a low voice, “If you get Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan, then please take care of Sasuke. This is also the condition I want to put forward to you.”

After saying this, Itachi was afraid that he would reveal a flaw and continued to add, “I believe that Sasuke has the potential to surpass the Uchiha of the past. His strength also has great benefits to your plan!”

In fact, Itachi was eager to tell them the location.

It was a pity that he was worried about arousing the suspicion of these people, so he had to use the art of negotiation to cover it up so that these people would not doubt his intentions because he was too straightforward.

“And…”

Itachi looked at the people present and added, “Kotoamatsukami’s Mangekyo Sharingan has a very long cooldown time before it can be used again. There is only one chance to use it once every ten years, so you better choose a suitable candidate… “

It didn’t matter if the weakness of this Kotoamatsukami technique was revealed.

In any case, it was just to deepen the trust these people had in him.

The corner of Uehara’s mouth curved up, and he chuckled, “We have agreed to your conditions. After all, we are friends of Itachi-san, and Sasuke’s power is also very important to us. Now tell us who Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan is hiding in!”

Itachi took a deep breath, looked at everyone present, and said in a low voice. “Last time when we went to Country of Fire to carry out a mission, I placed it on Naruto.”

Itachi continued, “Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan is the trump card I planned to give to Sasuke because he knows what Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan means.”

“Are you sure?”

Uehara slightly narrowed his eyes, looked at Itachi, and said, “Are you sure of this answer? There’s no chance to change it again later.”

Kabuto, “…”

Kisame, “…”

Obito, “…”

What the hell was this? Did he think he was doing a question game here?

Itachi nodded carelessly and said in a low voice, “Because hiding in Naruto will not arouse suspicion. And I know that Sasuke will definitely go to see Naruto. He will get the last bit of power I left for him.”

Clap Clap Clap…

Uehara narrowed his eyes even more. He looked at Itachi with a smile and suddenly slowly raised his palm, “As expected of Itachi-san! If I didn’t hear you say it yourself, perhaps we would never have guessed where that Kotoamatsukami is hiding.”

“…”

Itachi shook his head and replied in a low voice, “I also didn’t expect that you would actually be interested in that power and even scheme so deeply…”

“Very good.”

Uehara took a deep breath, and a very cold smile appeared on his face again, “Then please answer my last question, Itachi-san. Is Kotoamatsukami’s Mangekyo Sharingan sealed with an instruction to be loyal to Konoha?”

“…”

Itachi’s heart skipped a beat.

How could they possibly know about this?

Or could it be that these guys were so sharp that they could even guess what kind of instruction he would seal in Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan in advance?

Itachi’s heart was in turmoil, but his face was still calm as he shook his head and said, “That Kotoamatsukami’s Mangekyo Sharingan can only be used once every ten years. I intend to keep it for Sasuke to use against the most difficult enemy in the future.

According to my estimation, the strength of this Kyuubi Jinchuriki should be the strongest in the future, and also the enemy who is most likely to harm Sasuke.”

“Very, very good!”

Uehara stretched, waved his hand, and said, “Kabuto, seal Itachi-san! In the future, take him to find that Kotoamatsukami Sharingan!”

After saying that, Uehara stopped Kabuto and asked, “By the way, Itachi-san, I forgot to tell you something. When you went to see Naruto for the last time before your death, it was actually under my control.”

“What?”

There was a hint of surprise on Itachi’s face.

The next moment, Itachi understood all of this. Did this mean that they had already guessed that the Kotoamatsukami Crow was hidden on Naruto?

Moreover, Uehara had just mentioned that the Kotoamatsukami’s eye was sealed with an instuction that was to be loyal to Konoha, which meant that they had already guessed it. At least when they went to seize that Kotoamatsukami, they would be prepared!

Or was it that Naruto was also one of them!

Uehara was also very good at communicating, such as how he easily convinced Sasuke, and Naruto had the same characteristics, such as how he easily convinced himself.

Maybe Naruto had long been a spy planted by these guys in Konoha!

Itachi’s face finally couldn’t be maintained. He looked straight at Uehara and said, “Did you guess that I would put Kotoamatsukami on him after seeing him? Or is Naruto also one of your people?”

“Hehe…”

Uehara looked at Itachi with a smile and said, “If you went to Country of Fire for the last time before your death, wouldn’t you want to find a safer home for your brother?

So I specially arranged for you to meet Naruto so that you can think that there are still Sasuke’s friends in Konoha who are looking forward to him going back.”

The smile on Uehara’s face was even wider. He looked at the progress of the main mission on his system panel with satisfaction. He chuckled and continued, “From the moment you set foot on the Country of Fire, I have already arranged everything.”

“Uehara!”

Itachi’s expression suddenly changed.

He had never thought that he would be plotted against like this! Even Obito or Danzo, could not plot against him like this!

How terrifying were these guys?

What was the purpose of these people?

Itachi did not know about this. He had only seen their true faces twice in total; every time he saw them, he was greatly shocked, and even faintly felt fear!

“Uehara!”

Itachi’s expression was extremely ugly. He only asked, “Naruto is one of your people? Is that Kyuubi Jinchuriki, a spy you planted?”

It was not Itachi’s fault for thinking too much. After all, these guys were too terrifying. They hid so deeply. Who knew if the always upright Naruto was pretending or not?

After all, Itachi did not know before that the Uehara that he never cared about had such a terrifying side to him today!

If that was the case…

There was no place for Sasuke in the Ninja World!

“Hehe…”

Uehara curled the corners of his lips and waved at Itachi with a smile, “Alright, don’t be angry. You can guess carefully!”

To be honest, Uehara hoped that Naruto was his man even in his dreams.

Unfortunately, an idiot restrained a genius, and Naruto did not fall for his acting!

An honest, childish, and stupid Naruto was much more difficult to fool than a guy with a high IQ like Sasuke.

Until Kabuto put Itachi in the coffin, his face was still very ugly, staring at the people present, “I really didn’t expect that it was you guys who had been hiding behind the scenes and arranging other people’s lives…”

“Shh, don’t say that…”

Uehara stretched out a finger to his lips and said with a smile, “Itachi-san, aren’t you also arranging Sasuke’s life? Why do you feel so unhappy if someone else arranged your life?”
