"Xiao Nan also needs my help with something, it's not what you think."
Upon hearing the clan leader's words, Itachi merely lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the ground.
"Then, Chieftain, should I remain wary of that Xiao Nan?"
If she turns against us, we'll be in a very passive position.
Indeed, Konan is the vice-leader of Akatsuki, and is part of the organization's leadership. If her relationship with the clan leader wasn't close, Itachi wouldn't trust her.
Upon hearing Itachi's words, Uchiha Kakuyama's eyes darted away, and he said:
"Don't worry, Xiao Nan is my person, she would never betray me."
Itachi wasn't surprised at all by Chief Qiushan's words. As an excellent subordinate, he had served the chief for many years.
Furthermore, since the clan leader wasn't very discreet, Itachi knew almost everything about the clan leader's women.
Therefore, he was already used to Xiao Nan's sudden appearance.
Seeing that the instructions had been given, Uchiha Kakuzan, holding Sasuke, said with a serious expression:
"Itachi, pack your things and leave the village. I'm taking Sasuke to Tsunade."
Remember, once you leave here, don't trust anyone easily again.
After all, only a limited number of people know the truth about your betrayal, and apart from those few, anyone could potentially be a threat to you.
Therefore, you must be vigilant. If something really happens to you, I won't forgive myself.
Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha's expression turned serious. He placed his right fist on his left chest and said earnestly:
"Don't worry, clan leader, Itachi will definitely return safely."
Uchiha Kakuyama gave Itachi a deep look after hearing his words, then teleported away with Sasuke.
Itachi glanced at the empty ground in front of him, then looked around at the surroundings with some reluctance, before disappearing from the spot.
Early the next morning, some shocking news spread from the Uchiha clan's territory and Konoha Hospital.
Itachi Uchiha, a member of the Uchiha clan, killed his parents last night and gouged out their eyes.
He also severely injured his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, to the point of near death. If it weren't for the Hokage's intervention, he would have truly died.
Even if he survives, it's unknown how many days he'll remain in a coma before waking up.
Uchiha Itachi was also listed as an S-rank rogue ninja by Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan, and was wanted by both forces.
This news quickly caused an uproar in Konoha and the Uchiha clan, and Itachi Uchiha's name became widely known.
A ward in Konoha Hospital
Uchiha Kakuyama gently wiped the sweat from Tsunade's brow with a hint of tenderness, and said:
"You can leave these things to Shizune and the others. You can just guide them from the side. Why are you doing it yourself? Take care of yourself, you're pregnant."
Tsunade clearly enjoyed Qiu Shan-jun's care, and only spoke after he had wiped her sweat:
"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. Besides, Mikoto came all the way to me for help, so I just came to check on her."
Furthermore, I'm also quite curious about the injuries caused by the Mangekyou Sharingan of your Uchiha clan, so I came to take a look.
Tsunade then looked at Sasuke, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, and said:
"Sasuke's physical injuries are not very serious, but he is mentally traumatized. Even if I don't intervene, he will wake up after a week of being unconscious."

Chapter 340 Sasuke Awakens
Uchiha Kagami nodded knowingly upon hearing Tsunade's words.
He also had some medical knowledge; before Tsunade arrived, he had already given Sasuke a simple examination and treatment.
Now that he has received confirmation from Tsunade, a medical expert, he can finally give Mikoto an explanation when he returns.
After finishing his business with Sasuke, Qiu Shan-jun went to Mikoto's former house, where there were many things that needed his attention.
Otherwise, if some things fall into the eyes of those with ulterior motives, they can cause some trouble.
Uchiha Kakuzan pushed Sasuke and Naruto to grow not only because he wanted to stay behind the scenes,
The most important reason is that Sasuke and Naruto are the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, and can be said to be the grandsons of the Sage of Six Paths. It was for this reason that the Sage of Six Paths finally granted them the power of the Six Paths.
Once Naruto and Sasuke reach the Six Paths level, given their bond with Qiu Shanjun, they can ask him to do anything.
In this way, Qiu Shanjun wouldn't have to do everything himself.
Whether it's Kaguya's resurrection or the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan, he can first send Naruto and Sasuke to test them.
If they truly cannot withstand the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan, then it will be the turn of Okayama-kun and his children.
······
After finishing these tasks, Uchiha Kakuyama hurriedly returned to his spatial dimension.
He knew that poor Mikoto must have been waiting for a long time in the space.
After he arrived at the space, he used his senses to find Sister Mikoto on the roof of the house.
Standing on the rooftop, Mikoto was gazing intently at the distant sea, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair, creating a slightly disheveled yet beautiful effect.
Uchiha Kakuyama walked up and hugged Mikoto, whose body was slightly cold, saying with some heartache:
"Don't worry, Mikoto. Sasuke is fine. Tsunade has already checked him out, and he'll wake up in a few days."
Mikoto, as was her habit, leaned against Qiushan-kun's chest. After hearing his words, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Mikoto gazed at the sea for a long time, then said with some worry:
"Sasuke is going to suffer in the future, and Itachi will probably feel even worse."
When Itachi told me about this plan a few days ago, I initially disagreed. I thought we could face whatever comes our way together.
It was only later, when he told me it was your task, that I agreed.
"I know you well. If there wasn't a reason, you wouldn't have made Itachi and Sasuke do these things."
Uchiha Kakuzan opened his mouth, but in the end, he hugged Mikoto and told her about what was supposed to happen and about the Sage of Six Paths.
After saying all this, Uchiha Kakuyama assured him;
"Don't worry, Mikoto. Once all this is settled, Sasuke's strength might even surpass that of all the previous Hokage."
Even in the entire ninja world, there are very few who can surpass him.
Mikoto hadn't expected things to be so complicated. Finally learning the truth, she turned around and emotionally cupped Qiu Shanjun's face, saying...
"If it weren't for Qiushan-kun, I would have died long ago, and there would be no Yuta and Kana."
"To be honest, it was Lord Qiu who saved me."
Uchiha Kakuzan embraced Mikoto's slender waist, enjoying the warmth and delicate fragrance emanating from her, and said...
"Mikoto-nee has long been an inseparable part of my family. Even if I don't save the Uchiha, I will still protect Mikoto-nee well."
After a while of being affectionate, Qiu Shanjun suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:
"Mikoto, Sasuke hasn't woken up yet. If you're worried, I'll take you to see him, okay?"
Upon hearing Qiu Shanjun's words, Mikoto hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said:
"King Qiu, I am now dead in the outside world. If I were to show myself rashly, it would unnecessarily affect your plans. Let's just forget about it."
Sasuke's future path will be full of hardships, and I can't visit him every time.
For Sasuke's sake, consider myself dead.
Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Mikoto to react this way.
That's true. Mikoto's talent and intelligence were originally quite good, but she concealed them after becoming a housewife.
Even when faced with important matters, she can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.
Uchiha Kakuzan didn't say anything more, but instead stayed with Mikoto and let the sea breeze blow in silence.
A few days later, Sasuke, who had been in a coma, finally woke up.
During the days he was in a coma, Naruto and Karin visited him almost every day, and even Kakashi came to see him several times.
When Sasuke opened his eyes, he was greeted by Naruto's bright smiling face.
Sasuke was startled when he saw Naruto. Then, he recalled his memories before he lost consciousness and everything he experienced in the Tsukuyomi space.
However, Sasuke was still somewhat dazed after waking up, and he was unsure how much of what he remembered was true and how much was false.
Sasuke suppressed his anger and looked at Naruto, asking:
"Naruto, have you seen my mother?"
Naruto was overjoyed that Sasuke had woken up from his coma, but upon hearing his words, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked at Sasuke with a hint of hesitation, unsure of what to say.
Sasuke's heart grew colder with Naruto's silence. He looked at Naruto and asked again:
"Naruto, I've been unconscious for several days. How did I end up here?"
Naruto opened his mouth, then hesitated before saying:
"Sasuke, don't be anxious, let me explain slowly to you."
"You, you must have been unconscious for three days. I heard you were almost dead when you were brought here, and it was the Fifth Hokage who saved you."
Upon hearing these words, Sasuke already had a truth he didn't want to admit, and he hurriedly asked:
"Naruto, have you seen my mother? If I've been unconscious for so long, she should have come to see me by now."
Because Naruto and Sasuke had a good relationship, he had met Sasuke's mother many times.
Therefore, Naruto was also very upset after hearing Sasuke's words.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at Sasuke.
Some faint sounds came from him.
"I heard them say that Aunt Mikoto was murdered, and that Yuta and Kana are also missing."
"Now, now, the Uchiha clan's territory is completely deserted. It's been sealed off by the Hokage, who says she'll wait until you wake up before handing it over to you for disposal."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke's last shred of hope was finally shattered.
What he considered a nightmare was actually true.
Chapter 341 Meeting in the Land of Rain
Chapter 341 Meeting in the Land of Rain
After hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke realized that what he had experienced was not a dream, but reality.
Just like a network delay, at this moment, Sasuke felt as if his heart was being squeezed by something, and he felt a sharp pain. He couldn't help but raise his hand and tightly grasp his heart, as if it could relieve some of the pain.
Not only that, Sasuke was gasping for breath as if he were being suffocated, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Just as Naruto was about to go over and comfort Sasuke, he suddenly stopped. He seemed to have encountered something that made him feel dangerous, and stared intently at Sasuke.
As if sensing Naruto's unusual movement, Sasuke raised his head, which had been lowered, and looked at Naruto.
Sasuke's eyes seemed to be stimulated. His Sharingan, which had just evolved into two tomoe, began to spin wildly, as if it had absorbed some kind of nourishment. The Sharingan spun faster and faster until it became a blurry mess, and it was impossible to tell how many tomoe there were.
After a while, Sasuke's Sharingan finally slowed down. However, Naruto could clearly see that the Sharingan, which originally had two tomoe, had become three.
Seeing Sasuke's change, Naruto hesitated for a moment before saying, somewhat tentatively:
"Sasuke, your eyes..."
At this time, Sasuke's discomfort had improved somewhat, and after hearing Naruto's words, he clearly sensed the changes in his Sharingan.
At this moment, the Sharingan allowed Sasuke to clearly feel a sense of clarity about the world and his own strength, which in turn caused his mental power to surge.
Originally, the evolution of the Sharingan was something Sasuke had been looking forward to for a long time.
In this way, he would have hope of catching up with his brother, or at least see his brother's back.
However, Sasuke felt no joy or happiness whatsoever.
Because he knew exactly what he had traded for the evolution of his Sharingan.
That was the most important person to him in this world.
How could Sasuke possibly be happy when he just disappeared from this world like that?
