Chapter 220: Hoshigaki Kisame: Itachi-san, I Know All Your Secrets!

Too arrogant.

Even Obito, the mastermind behind Akatsuki back then, was not as arrogant as Uehara. Why didn’t this guy just fly to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the moon?

Uehara looked at Obito’s expression and chuckled, “Tsk, just looking at your expression, I can tell that you are just a frog at the bottom of a well. Go do your work!”

“…”

Obito cursed in his heart as he turned into a space-time vortex and disappeared. After a while, his figure appeared in Kisame’s residence.

When Kisame saw the masked Obito, he was a little surprised.

Didn’t Uehara kill this guy? Why did he appear again?

“Kisame, it’s me.”

Uehara’s voice appeared in Obito’s mouth. He said softly, “In order to avoid wastage after I killed Obito, I pulled his soul back from the Underworld using Impure World Reincarnation and resurrected him. This guy is now my puppet.”

“…”

After a moment of shock, Kisame grinned and said, “As expected of Uehara-sama. Even the dead can’t escape your control!”

“There’s no need to say more nonsense.”

Uehara controlled Obito and continued, “This time, when you go to the Land of Fire, I will make Obito follow you quietly if Itachi turns against you. You, Ringo, and Mangetsu may not be able to take down Itachi!”

“Itachi would not dare, right?”

Kisame frowned and softly replied, “Over the past few years, Itachi did not hide his secret care for Sasuke in front of me, not to mention that there are people in Konoha who believe him?”

“What if he secretly leaks my information?

Uehara ordered in a low voice, “After all, what I have been doing recently is too dangerous towards world peace. Even if Itachi does not dare to betray us directly for Sasuke’s sake, I do not want to see him secretly leaking information!”

Kisame, “…”

It turns out, Uehara-sama also knew that what he had been doing was not good. Wasn’t it easy forcing people into a dead end?

Uehara-sama has really grown up!

Since he knew that what he had done was not humane, then he should restrain himself a little!

Looking at today’s meeting, he clearly knew that Itachi was a brother complex and even forced his brother in front of Itachi. He was clearly trying to force these brothers to die!

“Before we leave, you should go and threaten Itachi!”

Uehara did not care about that. He just continued, “If anyone deliberately leaks my information or inadvertently, I will feed Sasuke to the Sanbi!”

“…”

Kisame nodded and asked with a puzzled face, “Uehara-sama, in this case, it will force Itachi to target us, right?”

“No, he won’t.”

Uehara chuckled and explained, “Since Sasuke’s life is in our hands, that guy will not be willing to take the risk. He must make his younger brother stronger to protect himself since he knows the secret to make Sasuke stronger!”

Mangekyo Sharingan was far from enough.

Then what about Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan? It could never be blinded and can even open a complete Susanoo eye technique. This was the power Madara used to conquer the world and compete with the Ninja God Hashirama!

Itachi did not dare to take the risk for Sasuke’s sake.

After all, as long as Sasuke opened his Mangekyo Sharingan and then transplanted Itachi’s eyes, he would be able to obtain the legendary Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. At that point, Sasuke would definitely be at the peak of this world!

Itachi had already arranged a path for his younger brother, so how could he take risks?

Kisame faintly sighed and said, “If we’re worried about leaking information, why don’t we just kill Itachi? Or not let him go to the Land of Fire to carry out a mission together?”

“He must go!”

Uehara resolutely interrupted Kisame,

If Itachi didn’t go to the Land of Fire, how could he reveal the whereabouts of Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan?

This was the main reason why Uehara made Itachi go.

As long as he got rid of Kotoamatsukami’s Sharingan, Itachi would no longer be a threat. He just needed to quietly walk to the end of his life.

“As for why I didn’t kill him…”

Uehara used Obito’s body and said in a low voice, “We haven’t squeezed out the last bit of his value. I still need to squeeze the last bit of nourishment for Sasuke and make him stronger. Anyway, we all know that this is what he wants, right?”

“Okay, I got it.”

Kisame nodded helplessly.

What else could he do if his superior told him so?

“Do you know why I asked you to explain the stakes to Itachi?”

Uehara chuckled and said scornfully, “Because he will soon be a dead man. A person who is about to reach the end of his life does not need to be afraid. His life and death are in my hands!”

Kisame, “…”

How sad!

Kisame couldn’t help but look at Obito in front of him. If he thought carefully, Obito, Itachi, and Sasuke had all been played by Uehara.

He really didn’t know why Uehara-sama liked to use him to deceive the Uchiha… Was it because their clan was very strong and had value?

Late at night.

Kisame knocked on Itachi’s door.

After entering, the first thing Kisame said made Itachi’s heart tighten, “I’m sorry, Itachi-san. I’m really sorry for disturbing you in the middle of the night, but someone wants to use my mouth to threaten you. If any information from our organization is leaked, Sasuke will be torn to pieces.”

“…”

Itachi slowly released his palm and calmly said, “It’s just killing Sasuke. What does it have to do with me? Anyway, I will kill him sooner or later…”

“There’s no need to pretend.”

Kisame sat in front of Itachi and knocked on Itachi’s heart word by word, “Itachi-san killed the whole clan just to save Sasuke’s life. Why is there a need to be so stubborn about this? There are very few people in Akatsuki’s organization who know about this matter. Unfortunately, I am one of them.”

“Who told you? Obito?”

Itachi clenched his fists again as if he could explode at any time.

The feeling of being caught in his soft spot was very uncomfortable.

Itachi liked to plan three steps at a time, hide behind the scenes, and do everything flawlessly, making those who thought they could control him realize that they had lost control when the final moment came.

Now that other people did not care about those messy things, directly grabbing Sasuke’s life to threaten him, this made Itachi very difficult to control.

At the last moment, Itachi still wanted to try to turn the tables. For this reason, he did not hesitate to reveal the biggest secret in his heart to Kisame, “At that time, I left Sasuke with his life only because my eye power had been exhausted. I needed Sasuke’s eyes to allow me to regain the power of Mangekyo Sharingan…”

“Puff…”

Kisame couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He waved his hand and repeatedly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I really couldn’t hold it in…”

Itachi’s expression immediately turned ugly.

Was he seen through? Or was there a different reason?

For some reason, he felt like a clown.

The Kisame in front of him had always acted like a standard ninja and would only rigidly carry out orders from the higher-ups.

However, at this moment, Itachi had a faint feeling that Kisame had seen through everything he hid!

Itachi looked at Kisame with an ugly expression. After confirming this in his heart, he asked, “You know everything? Or have you always known?”

Two sentences, two meanings.

The meaning of the first sentence was that Kisame had only discovered it recently. The other sentence was that Kisame had seen through his thoughts a long time ago.

If it were the first one, it would be fine…

If it was the second, then Itachi must have always been a clown in Kisame’s eyes.

“Sorry, I always knew.”

Kisame grinned, revealing his mouth full of shark teeth.

Itachi’s heart trembled, and his expression became more and more ugly. At this moment, he finally stopped hiding his expression and said in a low voice, “So you have been secretly watching everything between Sasuke and me. You were laughing at me in your heart, right?”

Damn, I’m so angry!

Itachi thought about how he tried to avoid Kisame and secretly asked Sasuke to copy his ninjutsu. He suddenly felt like he was a joke.

Every time Sasuke provoked him, Itachi would beat him up and call him trash, which motivated Sasuke’s hatred and unyielding will. This bastard Kisame must have been hiding to the side and laughing!

He didn’t want to endure this anymore!

Itachi felt that his life in the past few years was like a clown in a circus. Every day, he would perform jokes for Kisame without hesitation!!

How could this happen!

Itachi was in a bad mood, and he could barely suppress his anger. He was an Uchiha, a very proud person!

The ninja world should have been the ones the Uchiha had within the palm of their hand. How did he become a laughing stock?

Moreover, every time Itachi secretly taught the ninjutsu to Sasuke under Kisame’s surveillance, he still felt a bit of contempt for Kisame in his heart…

Unexpectedly, he was a big joke in the eyes of Kisame!

Shame… anger…

These words were far from enough to describe Itachi’s mood. He felt as if his entire body had been stripped and thrown into the light for Kisame to judge.

Itachi clenched his fists, looked at Kisame, and asked word by word, “So you know all of this, yet you still bully Sasuke in front of me. Are you deliberately provoking me?”

“Ah?”

Kisame was caught off guard and asked this question. Why should he ask about this? Shouldn’t Itachi feel too ashamed at this time?

Kisame was feeling very good in his heart!

Previously, every time Itachi secretly thought of a way to let Sasuke learn ninjutsu, he would probably despise him in his heart for being useless and unable to find out…

Now you know, right?

He, Kisame, knew everything!

But he didn’t say anything. He just quietly watched the two of you play with each other!

His mood was simply too good!

It was like suddenly being soaked in cold water and taking a cold shower on a hot day. The comfort was simply indescribable.

As a result, when Kisame was secretly happy in his heart, Itachi asked this question, which made him not know how to answer.

This…

How should he say it?

To tell the truth?

“If…”

Kisame looked at Itachi and calmly said, “What if I only feel injustice for Itachi-san?”

Kisame looked straight into Itachi’s eyes, unafraid of the scarlet Sharingan, and said in a low voice, “Itachi-san, are you really going to sacrifice yourself for a little brat? Your talent and strength are very high, and you are one of the two strongest people I have ever seen in my life.

You should have a bigger stage in this world. As long as you are willing to kill Sasuke, illness is just a small problem that is easy to solve. You will have a chance to see the truth of this world!”

Kisame was telling the truth.

He really wanted to persuade Itachi to surrender.

Itachi was the ninja that Kisame recognized the most in his heart, while Uehara was the boss he recognized the most.

If Itachi were willing to submit to Uehara, then Itachi would definitely have a bigger stage!

Everyone under Uehara was equal, and he would also give them generous rewards, including a long life, and he would let his subordinates live with no worries.

Kisame knew the truth and obtained great power. Mangetsu obtained a new life and could secretly protect and guide his younger brother. Ringo was also cured of her illness.

If Itachi sided with Uehara, according to Uehara’s regard for Itachi, he estimated that Itachi would gain more, and there was no need to worry about the safety of his younger brother, Sasuke!

For example, Mangetsu’s younger brother, Suigetsu, always acted so arrogantly. Why did no one go around looking for trouble with his brother? Wasn’t it all because there was a guy called Kabuto who was secretly protecting him?

“As long as you are willing to join my boss…”

Kisame looked at Itachi, and his face became solemn, “Itachi-san, although the boss occasionally has bad taste and treats this world as a game!

The Boss treats his own people very generously. Boss will heal your body and protect your brother. There is nothing in this world that he can not do. He is the god of this world!”

“There is no god in this world.”

After Itachi calmly shook his head, he suddenly tentatively said calmly, “Kisame, your superior is not Obito… right?”

“…”

Kisame curled the corners of his lips and looked at Itachi with a playful smile. “Itachi-san, you’ve already heard enough today. Are you sure you want to continue asking after your trump card has been revealed?”
