Uehara Naraku was in good spirits.
Uchiha Itachi, however, was in a foul mood.
According to the story crafted by Uehara Naraku, Uchiha Itachi could basically confirm that Uchiha Sasuke was now completely loyal to this group.
If Uzumaki Naruto were to try persuading Uchiha Sasuke to return to Konoha now, the difficulty would be much more than a level higher. Uchiha Itachi was almost relieved that he placed the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan on Uzumaki Naruto.
"My story is finished."
Uehara Naraku watched as Uchiha Itachi's expression gradually calmed down, and he smiled while continuing, "Mr. Itachi, now it's your turn to decide whether to hand over Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan."
"It's unnecessary."
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes, speaking softly, "Even without the Kotoamatsukami Sharingan, Sasuke won't betray you. Moreover, that Kotoamatsukami was already destroyed due to inadequate protective measures on my part."
"Sigh..."
Uehara Naraku shook his head and sighed, addressing everyone present, "Hey, don't you think what he said is really funny?"
The people present fell into a silence.
What's funny about what Uchiha Itachi said?
Only due to Uehara Naraku's authority could Uchiha Obito manage a few chuckles, while Hoshigaki Kisame gave a polite laugh.
Yakushi Kabuto slowly pushed up his glasses, looking at Uchiha Itachi with a face full of cold sneers, "Such words might be enough to fool others, but not us... You should know that your brother, Uchiha Sasuke, is still in our hands!"
Uehara Naraku tilted his head, speaking coldly, "We always only care about the results, never the process. If the outcome you speak of doesn't satisfy us, we'll ensure Uchiha Sasuke has a very long process to his death."
"... ..."
Uchiha Itachi's brow furrowed slightly.
This Uehara Naraku seemed to be quite unreasonable!
How could this guy not play by the rules? At the very least, you should show some disbelief or ask questions!
However, Uchiha Itachi steadied his resolve and decided to fabricate: "Back then, when Shisui committed suicide in front of me, I indeed obtained his Kotoamatsukami Sharingan, but I unlocked my own Mangekyo Sharingan after his death..."
"Hmm hmm hmm... Please continue fabricating."
Uehara Naraku waved his hand, laughing lightly as he looked over at Yakushi Kabuto, "Kabuto, I think it's unnecessary to keep Mr. Itachi's Mangekyo for Uchiha Sasuke..."
"I think so too."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded with a smile, then slowly raised a small bottle in his hand, and slowly loosened his grip, "Then let's allow Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan's power to drain until blindness! After all, our strength is enough..."
"Wait!"
Uchiha Itachi's expression changed, hastily and loudly stopping Yakushi Kabuto's actions.
Originally, he didn't take the threats from Yakushi Kabuto and Uehara Naraku seriously, but now it seemed they really didn't care about this!
Then he'll have to resort to the second plan!
Uchiha Itachi's gaze fixed tightly on Yakushi Kabuto, speaking in a deep voice, "I've hidden the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan on someone, and that person will only reveal themselves upon seeing the power of my Mangekyo Sharingan."
"On who?"
Uehara Naraku curled his lips, let out a light chuckle, "Now tell us the name, and we'll take you to find him..."
"... ..."
Uchiha Itachi remained silent for a while.
Though his face was still silent and hesitant, Uchiha Itachi had already made up his mind internally, because he had already weighed the pros and cons at the beginning.
Now, if he reveals the truth about Uzumaki Naruto, and these people take him to see Uzumaki Naruto, the crow holding the Kotoamatsukami Sharingan will emerge and use Kotoamatsukami to rewrite his will, allowing him to escape to freedom.
Once free, the first thing he would do is use Amaterasu to burn the crow to death, and then reclaim his Mangekyo Sharingan from these people!
The plan seemed feasible.
At this moment, Uehara Naraku suddenly raised his finger, and Uchiha Obito suddenly spoke, "If we take Itachi to find the Kotoamatsukami, I'm a bit worried he'll pull some stunt...
Why don't we transplant Itachi's Mangekyo to Sasuke, and then take Sasuke to find that person? If the Kotoamatsukami isn't found, we'll let Itachi kill Sasuke, how about it?"
"... ..."
Yakushi Kabuto and Hoshigaki Kisame looked at Uchiha Obito in surprise, then glanced at Uehara Naraku, clearly knowing this was Uehara Naraku manipulating Obito's words.
Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but look up at Uchiha Obito.
Honestly, Uchiha Obito's suggestion didn't seem bad either?
Uchiha Itachi started contemplating again, and Uchiha Obito's proposal aligned well with his plan. As long as Sasuke obtained his eye power and unlocked the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, when he met Uzumaki Naruto, he would have his will altered by Kotoamatsukami.
A Uchiha Sasuke with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan would have even greater strength, and there would be an even greater chance of clearing everyone present, and even if they couldn't be dealt with, Sasuke would certainly manage to escape, using the opportunity to return to Konoha!
Uchiha Itachi's expression slightly calmed, he hadn't expected Uchiha Obito to be so foolish. According to his suggestion, it seemed more advantageous to him!
Thinking this through, Uchiha Itachi no longer hesitated and spoke in a deep voice, "If you obtain the Kotoamatsukami Sharingan's eye afterwards, please take good care of Sasuke, which is also the condition I want to propose to you."
