Behind the Scenes in Naruto World

Chapter 221: Uchiha Itachi: Help Me Take Care of Sasuke

The more people in the world know, the more dangerous it was.

Itachi did not think so. He thought that he had to know enough to perfect his next plan. It was too dangerous if a person was spying on him and Sasuke in secret.

Especially this person who had seen through his thoughts and used his feelings for Sasuke to threaten him. How could he not be wary of this?

Asked.

Of course, he had to ask.

He had to continue asking.

Itachi looked at Kisame. He wanted to continue asking. He wanted to find out who was the mastermind behind the scenes from Kisame’s words.

“I should have seen that person, right?”

“What you have seen is never everything he has.”

After Kisame finished speaking, he added with a smile, “Itachi-san, if you know enough, you and your brother will be in danger.”

“If I don’t know this, isn’t Sasuke more in danger? At least a visible threat can be avoided, right?”

After Itachi finished speaking, he began to analyze Kisame’s words. At least he could determine the target because the person standing behind Kisame was someone he had seen before.

No, that wasn’t right.

This was a bit difficult to analyze.

Because there were too many standards that met the requirements.

Everyone may have their own other side. It was very difficult to analyze it simply. The person hiding behind Kisame must have hidden it very deeply.

A person who has never been exposed.

Instead of analyzing the hidden black hand, it was better to analyze Kisame’s companion. This way, there may be a chance to find a suitable person.

Guyi.

Itachi subconsciously thought of Uehara’s teammate in the organization. The guy who rarely spoke but never acted was given the title of Guyi by Pain.

Because that guy always wore a hat, he never revealed his true face, and he never really attacked!

Undoubtedly, this person was the most suspicious.

If he asked this, would Kisame admit it?

Maybe, maybe not, maybe there was only one fake answer.

The most troublesome thing for Itachi was that he did not understand the person called Guyi at all and only knew that he was Uehara’s teammate.

Itachi thought for a while and suddenly glanced at Kisame. He whispered a name, “Uehara…”

“…”

Kisame subconsciously felt his heart tighten.

Was the performance between them obvious? Itachi actually guessed Uehara’s identity directly!

To be honest, Kisame did not expect it either.

Unexpectedly, Itachi suddenly opened his mouth and continued, “Uehara… In fact, he has also become your chess piece, right?”

No matter who he suspected, Itachi would not think that Uehara would be the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, this was too unreliable!

Uehara relied on the favor of Konan and Pain. Almost everyone knew that Uehara might become the leader of Akatsuki.

Moreover, Uehara was also quite arrogant…

Looking at Uehara’s performance at the meeting and his respectful appearance towards the elders of the organization, and directly suppressing the new members of the organization.

Fearing the strong and bullying the weak…

No matter how one looked at it, he did not look like a mastermind behind the scenes.

Moreover, how could a mastermind be on good terms with the Genin’s of the five great countries and even participate in the childish Chunin examination?

Therefore, Itachi believed that Uehara was also a pawn.

Perhaps Uehara did not know the truth at all, or perhaps Uehara might know a part of the truth, but at most, Uehara was just a pawn.

After all, when Itachi joined Akatsuki’s organization, Uehara also join the same day as him. At that time…

Itachi, thirteen years old.

Uehara, twelve years old.

The two people fought under the instigation of Obito. Relying on the advantage of Sharingan, Itachi revealed a flaw and directly defeated Uehara.

To tell the truth, at that time, Uehara was very weak.

Facing a member of the Uchiha clan, he actually didn’t know how to avoid eye contact. At that time, Uehara probably didn’t know the function of Sharingan, he only knew that the reputation of the Sharingan was very big.

For so many years, Uehara’s progress was very fast. Perhaps he already had the qualifications to become a chess piece, and his personality also changed with the growth of his strength.

Itachi felt that it was very likely that Uehara was a chess piece.

This also couldn’t be blamed on Itachi’s wild thoughts.

After all, a person who had seen through the reason why he created the night of extermination could not be a twelve-year-old little fellow, right?

Kisame’s heart immediately relaxed. The corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a look of amazement, “As expected of Itachi… That little brat Uehara is too naive. He will always be easily used by others.”

After Kisame finished speaking, he wanted to splash some dirty things on Uehara, “How should I describe Uehara? We did not treat him as a qualified chess piece.

When he was in Akatsuki, Uehara was a member who would do anything for the organization; When he was in Amegakure, Uehara was a guy who colluded with Konoha for Amegakure; Even he himself did not know how to choose.

As long as someone convinced him, he would go against his previous promise.

This is a genius without his own Ninja Way. He will be used for a moment, and he will go back on his promise in the next moment. He can’t be called our chess piece at all.”

“I understand.”

Itachi slowly nodded.

Uehara was a guy who could be used.

If possible, maybe he could consider using Uehara to send information to Konoha about Akatsuki’s organization. As long as Uehara and the Ninjas in Konoha were connected, he might reveal a flaw.

“Ringo and Mangetsu are your companions.”

Itachi immediately brought up two names. After all, there were a total of four people who joined Akatsuki’s organization at that time. Three of them had a good relationship with him. Only Zabuza was subconsciously excluded by them.

Wait…

Did that mean that Zabuza could also be the mastermind behind the scenes?

Because Zabuza was their superior, they were not willing to talk to Zabuza to avoid revealing a flaw. Moreover, Zabuza was also wrapped in bandages, so they could not see his true face clearly…

Itachi subconsciously started to have a headache.

In order to find out who the mastermind behind the scenes was, it was not something that could be found with just a few words. He had to find a way to find out as soon as possible.

Itachi knocked on his table and whispered, “I will pay attention to the secret of protecting the members of Akatsuki’s organization information. Will you help me protect Sasuke?”

This was also a probe, but also an inquiry.

If Itachi wanted to use this opportunity to probe the people who captured Sanbi, some of them might be Kisame’s companions or superiors.

If Kisame agreed to protect Sasuke, then the people who captured Sanbi must have Kisame’s accomplices and even superiors…

For example, Zabuza that Itachi suspected.

“Rest assured.”

Kisame grinned at Itachi and chuckled, “It seems that we can only make this deal. Is Itachi really unwilling to join us?”

“To be honest, I am very tempted.”

Itachi looked at Kisame and said softly, “But before joining an unknown group, I have to at least know your purpose, the leader, and the existing members, right?”

“… Then there is no other way.”

Kisame looked at Itachi with a face full of regret and sighed in a low voice, “Actually, recruiting Itachi is my selfishness. I can’t bear to see a ninja like Itachi disappear. I can only report to my superior after Itachi agrees.

After all, in the eyes of my superior, Itachi is a very troublesome person! He may not like Itachi to join us. I also need to put in a lot of effort to persuade him to agree to accept you and your brother. “

Kisame said this as if their small group was quite amazing, and there was a kind of VIP threshold system.

However, it was really amazing.

Itachi looked at Kisame with some surprise. It seemed that he could not react for a moment. It turned out that it was Kisame who had been recruiting him. Was it Kisame’s own intention?

His superior actually did not agree or even know about it at all?

What did this mean?

Itachi’s brain spun quickly. He immediately realized a terrible fact. That was the person behind Kisame. It was very likely that he thought that Itachi had no value at all. Or perhaps he had already foreseen that he was about to die.

That’s right…

Since that person could see that he had exterminated his clan in order to protect his younger brother, and had done a series of things for his younger brother, how could he not see through the possibility of Itachi dying?

The latter had not left him a spot at all!

It was not that Itachi was boasting, but that he knew his own strength and was definitely among the best in the entire Akatsuki organization.

Itachi was not a worthless person himself.

However, because the latter knew that Itachi was bent on dying, the latter simply gave up on him.

But…

Itachi slowly raised his head and stared at Kisame who was sitting in front of him. He looked at his teammate who had been with him for many years.

But…

However, Kisame did not want to see Itachi die, so he took the initiative to recruit Itachi to join them!

This was an extremely dangerous move.

Perhaps Kisame knew that this was nothing and would not affect the people behind him, or that Kisame would risk being executed by his superior.

Itachi was unclear.

Itachi knew that his teammates wanted to save him!

According to what Uehara said at the meeting when Sasuke and they captured Sanbi, they would let Itachi and his brother have a life and death duel.

Itachi was actually ready to die.

However, before he died, Kisame had already seen through all of this, so he wanted to help him.

“Thank you, Kisame.”

Itachi stared at Kisame. After a moment of silence, he continued, “I have already seen my own fate. I have already seen through what kind of person I am. I have already found the path I have to walk.”

Itachi bluntly rejected Kisame.

During the night of the extermination of the clan, Itachi had already prepared an ending for himself in advance, and he would never change it for anything.

Even he admired this teammate of his very much.

“Itachi-san…”

Kisame’s expression immediately became ugly. He grinned and revealed an ugly smile, “I took a huge risk. Can’t you consider it? After all, I don’t want to lose my partner.”

“I’m sorry, Kisame.”

Itachi put his hand on Kisame’s shoulder and whispered, “In fact, you should be clear. The person standing behind you did not reserve my position at all.”

“…”

Kisame froze for a moment.

Itachi looked at Kisame and continued, “If you forget what you said to me tonight, I will also forget these words. Do you understand? Don’t let yourself be in danger…”

“I got it.”

Kisame stood up, revealing a mouth full of shark teeth, “Then that’s it! Remember, Itachi-san, you are absolutely not allowed to leak the intelligence of the organization to anyone. This is the price we have to pay for protecting Sasuke. If you leak it, even if it is a clue, we will have a way to find out the source of the intelligence. We are not without spies among the five great countries.”

“I will remember it.”

Itachi nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly said, “Wait, Kisame, if the person behind you wants to rope in Sasuke, I hope you can take good care of him.”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Kisame nodded and said, “Even if Sasuke is not Itachi’s most beloved brother, he has been my teammate for a few years. I will not sit by and do nothing.”

“Then I am relieved.”

Itachi nodded.

After Kisame left, Itachi suddenly covered his mouth. Drops of blood oozed out of his fingers.

His body was about to collapse.

Therefore, when he returned to Country of Fire this time, he had to think of a way to plan Sasuke’s future.

Hiruzen died, Danzo went missing, and no one knew about Itachi’s past.

If he did not find a place for Sasuke in Konoha, it might be a good idea to entrust him to Kisame.
