"...Yes."
After a moment of silence, Uchiha Itachi slowly raised his head and said softly, "I didn't expect you people could even investigate what happened that night."
"Nothing escapes our investigation."
Uehara Naraku narrowed his eyes, looking at Uchiha Itachi, and continued to smile, "The truly exciting story is just beginning, for we're about to witness the great love of a brother for his sibling.
Uchiha Itachi learned about the weaknesses and evolution of the Sharingan and decided to use his own methods to push his brother, Uchiha Sasuke, to become stronger. So, he chose to forcefully push and humiliate his brother against his own will, all to make his brother awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
This is something that we're all quite clear about, Mr. Itachi doesn't need to argue, since the more exciting story is yet to come."
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
This is dramatic enough...
How much more exciting could the other stories be?
Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Itachi, slowly curling his lips into a kind smile, "After slaughtering his clan, Uchiha Itachi found himself with no place to stand. After threatening the village high-ups with secrets to protect his brother, he and a boy named Uehara Naraku joined an organization called Akatsuki."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
Why does Uehara Naraku suddenly bring him up out of nowhere?
If Uchiha Itachi thinks he didn't guess wrong, indeed, his story takes a sharp turn here. To what extent will the rest of the story deviate?
Uehara Naraku did not disappoint Uchiha Itachi.
"Though Uchiha Itachi and Uehara Naraku were similar in age, Uchiha Itachi had greater strength and experience. Therefore, Uehara Naraku, respecting him, always wanted to be his friend and receive his guidance.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi refused contact with anyone, not even acknowledging Akatsuki's goals, until he discovered that some members of Akatsuki shared similar experiences of being secretly harmed by jealous village leaders. He finally began to learn to communicate and gradually became friends with them.
Just as these friends planned to work hard to change the Ninja World, Uchiha Itachi's brother Uchiha Sasuke defected from Konoha. To protect his brother, Uchiha Itachi went to pull his defecting brother into the organization.
Also, to ensure his not-yet-grown brother's safety, Uchiha Itachi decided to abandon those dangerous thoughts and chose to distance himself from his friends.
Until before his death, Uchiha Itachi chose to reconcile with his friends and entrusted them with his last wishes, which his friends tearfully agreed to fulfill.
Thus, after Uchiha Itachi died in battle, his best friend Uehara Naraku disclosed all the truths to Uchiha Sasuke and chose to help him transplant Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, allowing Sasuke to have the power of self-defense and understand his brother's painstaking love.
Moreover, Uehara Naraku hoped Sasuke would follow Uchiha Itachi's wishes and return to Konoha to live as a normal ninja, getting married and having children."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi's expression turned very unpleasant.
Honestly, Uchiha Itachi's mood was a bit on edge.
Damn it, how did the story end up like this!
If Uehara Naraku spins the story like this, it's unthinkable that the willful Uchiha Sasuke would agree to return to Konoha!
Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Itachi's expression, feeling increasingly pleased. His face showed a touch of regret, "It's a pity that Uchiha Sasuke decided to inherit his brother's former dream and follow his brother's friends to change the world. No matter how much Uehara Naraku tried to persuade him, he wouldn't change his mind..."
Uehara Naraku's face still symbolically showed a trace of sadness.
Uchiha Itachi, upon hearing this, couldn't help but want to hit someone; how could there be someone like Uehara Naraku in this world!
This is clearly a half-true, half-false story altering someone's life!
Honestly, except for the sudden intervention of Uehara Naraku, the story is indeed moving and largely mirrors his real life.
However, it's Uehara Naraku's intrusion into his story that completely destroyed it, as well as all his plans.
For so many years...
Uchiha Itachi never regarded Uehara Naraku as significant.
Unexpectedly, this shameless guy Uehara Naraku actually inserted himself into his life story and even used this to deceive Sasuke's feelings.
Uchiha Itachi's face darkened increasingly; he slowly closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "So this is the story you've fabricated for Sasuke?"
"Yes~"
Uehara Naraku nodded softly, his face still carrying a bright hint of sorrow, "Mr. Itachi, this is the life I've fabricated for you, do you like it?"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi doesn't want to answer.
