Chương 295: Chapter 295: Sasuke's Shock: Was Itachi a Spy Within Akatsuki?

"Back then, Danzo actually attacked Shisui and even took his Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"Shisui was considered the strongest Uchiha back in those days. Was Danzo really not afraid of triggering a full-on war between the Uchiha and Konoha?"

"It seems that the Uchiha's coup attempt was largely the result of the pressure from Konoha's upper echelons."

Sasuke watched the events unfold, shocked by what had happened back then.

At the time, he had only been a six- or seven-year-old child. He was completely oblivious to the bigger picture, only vaguely aware of bits and pieces.

Now, seeing everything through Itachi's perspective, Sasuke finally understood what had truly happened. He finally knew the truth.

But still, at that time, he was just a kid. The same age as Akira. Yet, Akira had already involved himself in these monumental events.

For instance, it was Akira who had rushed into Sasuke's home to call Itachi, urging him to save Shisui. At that moment, Sasuke had been clueless, merely sitting at the dinner table, unaware.

Back then, Akira wasn't particularly strong either. He could only open a few of the Eight Gates, pushing himself to barely reach the strength of a Jonin.

Then came the matter of Shisui's death.

Sasuke never knew why Shisui had chosen to end his own life—no one had told him.

But now, Sasuke understood.

Shisui had truly been determined to prevent an all-out conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha's upper echelons. He had been so committed to that goal that he chose to take his own life.

Even more astonishing was Shisui's other Mangekyou Sharingan, capable of wielding the powerful genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami.

One of Shisui's Mangekyou eyes had been taken by Danzo, and the other... Itachi, respecting Shisui's dying wish, had given it to Akira.

Seeing all of this, Sasuke couldn't help but feel deeply moved, along with a hint of unease.

Shisui and Itachi had shared similar beliefs, both wanting to prevent the Uchiha from breaking completely with Konoha.

But Akira held a different view. He believed Konoha had grown utterly corrupt and needed to undergo drastic reform to regain its vitality.

Akira had been just a six- or seven-year-old child back then, yet he was already discussing these heavy topics about the village and the Uchiha with Itachi and Shisui?

Compared to him, Sasuke had merely been a first-year student at the Academy.

And then there was Itachi. Despite seemingly falling into darkness, he had resisted the temptation of wielding the most powerful genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, and had willingly handed it over to Akira.

From this alone, Itachi's actions didn't seem entirely evil, at least not back then.

The visions continued to shift, showing Itachi unlocking the Mangekyou Sharingan due to the emotional shock from Shisui's death, while Akira awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Their names soon became known throughout Konoha as geniuses.

After all, a six- or seven-year-old Uchiha awakening the Three Tomoe Sharingan, reaching Jonin-level strength—that was truly astounding.

Sasuke still remembered the shock he felt when he first heard that Akira had achieved such a feat at such a young age.

From there, things only escalated. Both the Third Hokage and Danzo called Itachi in to monitor the Uchiha's activities.

At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, and the rest of Konoha's leadership had already become aware of the Uchiha's desire to stage a coup.

This realization made Sasuke's heart pound in anxiety.

Back then, there was no way the Uchiha could have defeated the entire village, especially with Itachi already swaying towards Konoha's side.

With the village elders already aware of the Uchiha's intentions, how had the coup even succeeded?

The vision shifted again, showing Danzo kidnapping Keiko to use as bait to lure Akira into a trap.

Little had Sasuke known that Akira had managed to open the Seventh Gate and defeat Danzo.

This event marked the point where the last shred of pretense between the Uchiha and Konoha was torn apart.

With the appearance of two wielders of the Mangekyou Sharingan—Fugaku and Itachi—the Uchiha's morale surged.

The desire for a coup only grew louder after that, and then the man wearing a spiral mask—claiming to be Madara Uchiha—appeared.

He represented the Akatsuki and was, in fact, an ally of Danzo, helping Itachi carry out the Uchiha massacre plan.

Sasuke was stunned to learn this. He had never imagined that during the night of the massacre, Danzo had been in cahoots with the Akatsuki.

Danzo, the man who had been in contact with such an evil organization for so long?

And the most shocking part: to prevent an internal conflict in Konoha, Itachi had actually agreed to the massacre?

In Itachi's mind, the village came first, then the clan.

So, on the night of the massacre, Itachi coldly marched into the Uchiha district, starting his slaughter.

The bloodline suppression of the Mangekyou Sharingan was overwhelming—ordinary clan members were no match for Itachi. In mere moments, dozens had fallen to his blade.

This included even the elderly and children.

Watching this, Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief, his heart filled with rage. Had Itachi really lost his mind?

He had truly turned his blade against his own clan for the village?

Shisui's ideology was merely to prevent internal strife, not to sacrifice the Uchiha to protect Konoha.

Next came the Uchiha's retaliation.

With Fugaku—wielding the Mangekyou Sharingan—standing alongside Akira, the clan struck back.

That night was bloody. Both Konoha's Root and Anbu suffered heavy losses, but the Uchiha also paid a heavy price.

The Uchiha were powerful, but they were not strong enough to overthrow the village's leadership.

In that critical moment, Akira stepped forward, executing the "decapitation strategy."

He returned to the Uchiha compound in the state of the Death Gate—the Eighth Gate.

With the power of the Eighth Gate, he suppressed everything.

Seeing this, Sasuke was profoundly shaken.

Although he had heard the stories of Akira's deeds, hearing was one thing, but seeing it unfold was completely different.

No wonder Akira was called the hero of the Uchiha.

After that battle, Itachi was labeled a traitor for slaughtering his own clan and was imprisoned, while the Uchiha rose to power.

Later, while in custody, Akira came to visit Itachi.

Sasuke remembered it well. It had been he who had begged Akira to spare Itachi's life.

Back then, Sasuke hadn't known much about right and wrong—all he knew was that Itachi was his brother, and he couldn't sit by and watch him be executed.

So he begged Akira, and Akira, in a rare moment of indulgence, had agreed to his request.

Looking back now, Sasuke felt a pang of regret.

He hadn't anticipated that, once out of Konoha, Itachi would join the Akatsuki, continuing his attacks on Konoha and the clan, eventually losing his life.

Before Sasuke could fully process his thoughts, a conversation between Akira and Itachi interrupted his reverie.

They were discussing the Akatsuki.

And Akira had requested Itachi to join the Akatsuki as Konoha's spy?

Realizing that Akira's coup had succeeded, and knowing the threat the Akatsuki posed to Konoha, Itachi agreed, driven by a desire to atone for his sins.

Hearing this conversation left Sasuke utterly stunned.

Itachi had joined the Akatsuki to act as a double agent?

And it was Akira's idea all along?

Why? If Itachi joined Akatsuki for Konoha's sake, then why had he repeatedly attacked Konoha?

Why had he gone so far for the Akatsuki that it ultimately cost him his life?

As the scenes in the vision progressed, Sasuke realized that the truth was vastly different from what he had originally believed.

Instead of answering his questions, this revelation only added to his confusion.

The vision continued, showing Itachi joining the Akatsuki.

During the seven years that Akira had been missing, Konoha had used every moment to grow stronger.

Itachi had, bit by bit, passed on vital information about the Akatsuki to Konoha.

At the time, Fugaku and the Hokage—had been the one liaising with Itachi.

"So Itachi joined the Akatsuki because Akira suggested it, to act as a spy for Konoha!"

"Akira knew, and Father knew, but they kept it from me—they all kept it from me!"

"Damn it! So Itachi's initial purpose in joining Akatsuki was to spy on them?"

Realizing this, Sasuke finally understood many truths, but his heart was filled with an even greater frustration.

From their perspective, he could understand why they had kept him in the dark.

But from his own perspective, Sasuke felt nothing but bitterness.

The vision continued—after seven long years, Itachi finally learned of Akira's reappearance.

He found an opportunity to meet with Akira and have a proper discussion.

Eventually, when Urashiki Otsutsuki invaded Konoha, Itachi used Tsukuyomi to pull Akira's consciousness into the Tsukuyomi world.

There, the two of them discussed many important topics.

And in the end, Itachi admitted something crucial.

His Mangekyou Sharingan had grown too blurred, his body was failing—he didn't have much time left.

Chương 296: Chapter 296: Forgive Me, This Is the Last Time!

"My eyes are almost going blind, and my body won't hold on much longer," Itachi confessed, his voice filled with resignation. "I served as Konoha's spy within the Akatsuki to atone for my sins, but this is as far as I can go. Fortunately, Akira, your strength now surpasses anything this world has ever seen. My role as a spy is no longer needed."

In the illusory world of Tsukuyomi, Itachi and Akira Uchiha were having a conversation, which played out from the time when Urashiki attacked Konoha. Sasuke could only watch silently, unable to change anything.

Through this final Tsukuyomi, Sasuke was finally able to comprehend many things he had been confused about. Answers to questions that had haunted him now came into focus.

He finally understood why Itachi left Konoha and joined the Akatsuki. He finally understood why Itachi had chosen to act against the Uchiha clan. The truth was clearer now than it had ever been.

Yet, one question still troubled Sasuke: why did Itachi, during his final moments, go all out to protect the Akatsuki members from the Konoha ninjas? During Urashiki's attack on Konoha, Itachi and Akira were able to chat peacefully in Tsukuyomi, which showed that Itachi's true intentions had never changed, right?

"So, do you intend to take Sasuke's Mangekyou for yourself?" Akira asked with a relaxed demeanor, as if he were just casually asking about the weather. He was so nonchalant that all that was missing were some sunflower seeds to snack on.

"No," Itachi shook his head in response. "I want to give my Mangekyou Sharingan to Sasuke, to ensure that he will have the light of sight forever."

"You know, theoretically, if you two brothers were to swap eyes, it could work for both of you, right?" Akira offered.

"But what if something went wrong? Besides, if I suggested this, Sasuke might refuse. He would probably insist on returning the Mangekyou to me," Itachi explained, his gaze unwavering. He was determined that his brother should carry on, even if it meant deceiving him.

Akira paused, thought about it, then nodded. Itachi's argument made sense, and seeing Itachi's conviction, Akira accepted the plan.

Through Itachi's perspective in Tsukuyomi, Sasuke understood the true depth of his brother's thoughts. It was clear that Akira's suggestion of swapping eyes had no real chance of working, as Mangekyou transplantation wasn't just about replacing one pair of eyes with another—the crucial part was adding the power of one Mangekyou to the other.

Itachi then explained how he intended to make the eye transfer happen. He suggested that Konoha should attack the Akatsuki, and during the ensuing battle, he would purposely fall, giving Sasuke the perfect opportunity to transplant his eyes.

The truth was finally laid bare.

Seeing all this, Sasuke finally understood everything he had once struggled with. The attack on the Akatsuki had been orchestrated to provide a fitting justification for him to inherit Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan. No wonder Itachi had seemingly sought death; it had all been part of this carefully crafted plan.

"Sasuke..." The entire truth now clear, Sasuke stood in the Tsukuyomi space, feeling his emotions surge uncontrollably. At that moment, the figure of Itachi suddenly materialized before him in the illusion.

Itachi stepped forward, looking down at his younger brother, his eyes filled with an uncharacteristic gentleness. "Sasuke, forgive me. This is the last time," he said softly.

With that, Itachi reached out and tapped Sasuke gently on the forehead with his finger. In the next instant, his remaining spiritual form dissolved into countless particles of light, fading into nothingness.

Back in the real world, Sasuke jolted awake, emerging from the Tsukuyomi space. He reached up, touching his forehead, the spot where Itachi had touched him. The sensation still lingered—as if it had just happened moments ago.

Sasuke climbed out of bed, feeling his emotions raging within him. Anger at being kept in the dark. Akira and his father had both known the real reason Itachi had joined the Akatsuki, yet they had never told him. That betrayal stung deeply.

There was also sadness and regret—regret for how much he had misunderstood Itachi, and guilt for having been the one to end his brother's life.

"Why?! Why did Itachi and Akira decide everything for me, without even telling me?" Sasuke roared in frustration, his fist pounding his bed. Tears began to spill from his eyes, the grief pouring out uncontrollably.

Through Itachi's final Tsukuyomi, Sasuke had come to understand everything about his brother. Only after Itachi had died did he finally learn the whole truth. And in the days that followed, Sasuke challenged Akira to spar, a way to vent his frustration at being kept in the dark.

With Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou now fully awakened, he was eager for a fight—and Akira was more than willing to oblige him. They fought fiercely, each clash more intense than the last, but as expected, it ended with Sasuke being thoroughly overpowered by Akira.

Through Sasuke's ranting during their fight, Akira learned that Itachi had embedded a transcription seal in Sasuke's eyes, revealing everything at the end. Hearing this, Akira couldn't help but feel a sense of bittersweet admiration.

"So, Itachi's words, even at the end, were laced with deception." Akira chuckled wryly as Sasuke collapsed, exhausted. "He led Sasuke by the nose, never revealing the truth until his last breath."

"Well, at least you have the Eternal Mangekyou now," Akira said, glancing down at Sasuke lying on the ground, worn out but no longer burdened by rage. "Make sure you don't waste the gift Itachi left you."

With Itachi's true intentions finally clear, Sasuke started to pull himself together. His mental state improved, his focus sharpening. He knew now that Itachi had never truly betrayed Konoha, and that realization brought him some comfort, even if the guilt of being the one to kill his brother still lingered.

But knowing that Itachi had been dying anyway, his body failing him, helped to ease some of the pain.

Sasuke threw himself into training, pushing himself to grow stronger every day. He had the Eternal Mangekyou now, with two Mangekyou Sharingan stacked together, and he wasn't about to let that power go to waste. He had to live up to Itachi's legacy.

The following days were relatively peaceful. After being thrashed by Konoha, the Akatsuki had relocated their headquarters and kept a low profile. For the time being, there would be no more conflicts with Konoha.

Urashiki, who had fled after his defeat, had also gone quiet. Even Sasuke began to wonder if he had left this timeline entirely.

Similarly, Toneri—who had attacked Konoha in Akira's absence but was driven off by Sasuke—had also gone into hiding.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The shinobi world seemed to have entered a rare period of peace, though the people of Konoha remained vigilant, knowing this peace was probably the calm before the storm.

During that month, Akira had burned through his two-hundred million funds entirely, along with the twenty million sent by Kirigakure and another eighty million brought in by Kakuzu.

Yes, Kakuzu had been particularly generous this time, delivering a full eighty million.

Akira had initially been puzzled by the sudden generosity, but after thinking about it for a while, it made sense. Last time, there had been fewer Akatsuki activities, so Kakuzu had less opportunity to pocket any extra money for himself.

Now, however, with the Akatsuki relocating its base, there were plenty of expenses—provisions, supplies, equipment. All these needs made it easier for Kakuzu to siphon off some funds, hence the generous delivery.

In just a month, all that money was spent on life simulations, making Akira's simulator a true money pit.

But the return on investment was substantial. His power had increased significantly, primarily in terms of chakra.

Previously, after returning from his mission against the Akatsuki, Akira's chakra reserves had been around 160,000 to 170,000 units. Now, that number had swelled to roughly 250,000 units—a nearly 60% increase.

This chakra growth alone was equivalent to adding Nagato's entire chakra reserves, or even the combined reserves of seven or eight Kakashis.

During that month, Akira had also made it a point to visit Hinata in the Konoha hospital every day. Over time, he noticed her spirits improving, her fever gradually subsiding.

In terms of chakra, Hinata had already touched the threshold of kage-level strength. Her chakra reserves had finally reached the point where she could maintain the Tenseigan.

Originally, Orochimaru and Tsunade had estimated it would take about two months for Hinata to fully recover. Judging by the timeline, there were only a few days left until she reached full recovery.

Akira found himself looking forward to that day more and more.
