Trees Chapter 236 This Is How You Protect the Village and Clan?!

"I... didn't die?"

Itachi looked around and found that he was in a desolate wasteland shrouded in thick mist, which obscured everything beyond a few meters.

"Is this... the Pure Land?"

Itachi checked his condition and realized all his previous weakness was gone.

The only possible explanation was that he had arrived in the world of the deceased… the Pure Land.

"Who's there?!"

"Show yourself!"

At this time, Itachi sharply turned his head and shouted into the fog. He could clearly sense someone's gaze fixed on him.

Tap, tap, tap…

Footsteps echoed, and Itachi instinctively took out a kunai and raised it defensively, but when he saw the person coming, he was dumbfounded and happy at the same time.

"Shi... Shisui?"

The person standing before him was none other than Uchiha Shisui, who had entrusted his eye to Itachi before leaping to his death years ago.

His appearance remained unchanged from when he was sixteen, and his eyes were still intact in their sockets.

"Shisui!"

"Is it really you?"

Seeing his closest friend again, Itachi was overwhelmed with happiness, even forgetting that he had just been sent to the Pure Land by his younger brother.

But Shisui showed no emotional reaction to Itachi's call. He stared at Itachi expressionlessly.

Then, as he stepped closer, Shisui suddenly drew the short sword from his back and attacked without hesitation.

Perhaps out of lingering sentiment, he used the back of the blade against Itachi.

Thwack, thwack, thwack…

Shisui swung the sword and began to hit Itachi's shoulder, cursing angrily while hitting.

"I told you to protect the village! To protect the Uchiha Clan... "

"And this is how you protected them!?"

Itachi's expression shifted between guilt and pain. He knew he was wrong, so he did not dare to fight back.

"Shisui... let me explain..."

"Explain your ass!"

Shisui raised his foot and kicked Itachi in the stomach, sending him sprawling onto the ground.

‘Explain?’

Shisui was really pissed off by this guy.

‘I trusted you so much!’

‘I even entrusted my remaining eye to you to protect the village and the Uchiha Clan.’

‘But what did you do?!’

‘Let's not talk about whether the village was protected or not, you wiped out the entire Uchiha Clan.’

Originally, he wanted Itachi to protect the Uchiha Clan while preventing a civil war in Konoha.

But no…

‘You just eliminated the root of the problem, huh?’

‘So my death was completely meaningless in the end?!’

Itachi dodged in a panic, and kept telling his friends the hidden story.

"Shisui, stop, stop!"

"I had no choice back then..."

"The clan’s higher-ups had already..."

Before he could finish, Fugaku's voice suddenly rang out in the mist.

"Susanoo!!"

"Itachi! I told you to properly guide Sasuke..."

"Tell me! Why the hell did Sasuke have a child with Orochimaru?"

Itachi: “???”

‘Sasuke… had a child… with Orochimaru?!’

Itachi’s mind went blank on the spot.

He did know he had a nephew, ‘But wasn’t that child, Mitsuki, supposed to be born from Sasuke and that girl Karin?’

‘Since when was it Orochimaru?!’

Itachi's pupils dilated instantly. He remembered that he had used a Genjutsu to defeat Orochimaru in seconds years ago, and a reasonable guess flashed through his mind.

‘That bastard Orochimaru...’

‘Did he go to Sasuke and do this for revenge against me?!’

‘Damn it!!’

At this moment, Itachi really wanted to take out the Sword of Totsuka and stab Orochimaru a few times.

Unfortunately, before he could dwell on it, his father’s Susanoo loomed over him, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the fog, all glaring at him with hostility.

It was at this moment...

Itachi knew...

He fucked up.

At this time, Fugaku and the rest of the Uchiha Clan’s members were already launched their attacks.

But when everyone's attack was about to fall, everyone was shocked to find that Itachi...

Had disappeared!?

…

The scene in Itachi’s eyes twisted, and he didn’t know how much time had passed. But just as he was about to open his eyes, he heard his younger brother’s voice.

"Single-colored Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, explode!!"

Boom…

And just like that, Itachi experienced death again. In the blink of an eye, he found himself back in the Pure Land...

…

"Sasuke, you are way too ruthless!"

Naruto was almost speechless at his friend’s behavior.

The moment Itachi’s body finished reviving thanks to the Totem of Undying, Sasuke was already staring at his eyelids.

The moment Itachi's eyelids moved, Sasuke would use Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.

And in order not to blow Itachi’s body into pieces, Sasuke considerately controlled the blast radius, detonating it mid-air to maximize damage while keeping the corpse intact.

Naruto had originally wanted to see if a fully healthy Itachi could beat Sasuke, but Sasuke had spawn-camped Itachi, not giving him even a second to fight back.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, his expression deadpan, and he didn't say much.

‘Aren’t you the one who teach me how to fight like this?’

‘In the end, you are the most ruthless one, right?’

"Naruto, again."

Sasuke said, and he had already formed a seven-colored Angry Buddha Lotus Flame in his hand.

…

The Uchiha Clan’s members who had been lying in wait for Itachi were losing their minds.

‘Damn it!’

‘What the hell is going on!?’

‘If you’re going to die, just die! If you’re going to live, then stay alive!’

‘Stop flickering in and out of existence like a glitch!’

Compared with those almost crazy Uchiha Clan;s members, Itachi himself was on the verge of a breakdown.

After dying and reviving multiple times, he finally figured out that he was resurrected by Sasuke using special means, only to be killed in an instant...

When Itachi thought about being killed again and again by his brother in the living world, and then facing the beatings and torture of his friends, father, and clan members in the Pure Land, the light in his eyes disappeared.

He really wanted to scream at Sasuke now...

‘JUST FINISH ME OFF ALREADY!!’

"Naruto..."

"I... I can't seem to see anymore."

Sasuke covered his bloodied eye sockets, his tone was puzzled and also a little aggrieved.

After killing Itachi for the 47th time, he noticed his vision was getting blurrier.

His Pupil Power was also decreasing rapidly.

Back when he used his Mangekyo before, it had never been this bad...

"No shit!"

"Do you think there is no cost to use the power of the Mangekyo?"

Naruto took out a few bottles of potion and threw them to Sasuke, but he wasn’t sure if they’d actually restore Sasuke’s eyes.

"Huh? There’s a cost???"

Sasuke's words instantly made Naruto speechless.

‘Okay, okay...’

‘So you didn’t even know that, huh?’

Naruto thought that Sasuke didn't use the power of the Mangekyo easily in the previous battle because he was worried that he would go blind too quickly, which would lead to his inability to fight Itachi.

But he didn't know that Sasuke didn't use the power of the Mangekyo easily because he wanted to show off at the last moment...

Sasuke took the potion and drank several bottles in a row, then turned his head to look at Naruto and shook his head helplessly.

"Whatever."

"Anyway, you can just use Itachi's eyes later."
