Summoning the shikigami of Konoha

After Sasuke opened his eyes, his first reaction was to stand up, but he failed due to the constraints of the vines on his body. After trying twice to break free and finding that he could not be untied, he lay calmly on the ground and stared at the four people.

"Sasuke"

Seeing Sasuke's appearance, Sakura felt uncomfortable. She was about to step forward and say something, but Katsuragi held out his hand to stop her.

"I never thought you would become like this." Gui Mu took a step forward, looked down at the silent Sasuke, and then manipulated the vines to make him sit up.

In response to Gui Mu's words, Sasuke's face did not waver at all. He silently turned his head and looked at the yellow sand in the sky around him, not knowing what he was thinking.

"This guy"

Sasuke's look made Naruto extremely unhappy. When he wanted to rush over and give Sasuke a lesson, he suddenly saw Sakura's sad look. In the end, he clenched his fists tightly and stayed there without moving.

"Hey, get out of here first and find a safe place."

Looking at the collapsed desert around him, Katsuragi was not in the mood to talk to Sasuke here. Although the location was very remote, there was no guarantee that the movement here would not be noticed by Sunagakure.

After saying that, Katsuragi removed the restraints on Sasuke's feet, wrapped his upper body, and then said coldly: "If you want to escape, you can try, but you have to consider the cost."

After hearing Gui Mu's words, Sasuke just glanced at Gui Mu calmly, showing neither fear nor anger.

The five of them were walking in the desert, and the atmosphere was very depressing. No one spoke on the road. Although Sakura wanted to talk to Sasuke, she didn't know what to say several times when she opened her mouth.

Hinata could tell that Katsuragi was in a bad mood, so she didn't bother him. She just stayed by her side and held Katsuragi's hand, hoping that this could help him share some of his heavy heart.

As for Naruto, he seemed very depressed. Firstly, it was because he had lost to Sasuke again in the previous battle. Secondly, like Sakura, he didn't know how to make Sasuke return to his original appearance. In other words, neither of them understood Sasuke until now. Why exactly is this happening?

Night fell slowly, and because they had Sasuke with them, they could not go any faster. When the sun completely set, a few people found a cave and prepared to take a short rest. At the same time, Gui Mu also wanted to know something.

"Naruto, Sakura, can you go find some branches."

In the cave, Gui Mu first said something, then turned to look at Hinata and said: "Hinata, you should also go with them. Send a signal in time if anything happens."

"Hey, I'm going to go, do you want to pick up so many?"

The stupid Naruto ignored Katsuragi's intention, but both Sakura and Hinata saw that Katsuragi wanted to be alone with Sasuke for a while, so Sakura pulled Naruto over and said, "Just follow me."

After the three of them left, Katsuragi turned around and looked at Sasuke, who hadn't said a word along the way. He sighed and asked straight to the point: "Have you met Itachi yet?"

Sasuke raised his head and looked at Gui Mu attentively, nodded and replied: "Yes."

"That means you asked him something."

"He let me see the truth of what happened back then," Sasuke said with a cold voice. Katsuragi's words reminded him of the previous incident. At his urgent request, Orochimaru found the Akatsuki organization with Katsuragi's information. Let Itachi trade information.

Out of fear for Gui Mu, Payne agreed to Orochimaru's conditions, allowing Sasuke to finally

He met his brother, Uchiha Itachi, whom he had never seen since the clan was wiped out.

Until now, Sasuke recalled everything he knew that day, and his heart was still full of anger. It was for this reason that he rejected the kindness of Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi last time.

"What kind of truth"

Gui Mu looked at the suddenly angry Sasuke and asked calmly. He really wanted to know what Itachi said.

Sasuke took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Katsuragi and replied tonelessly: "He asked me to go through what he went through, how Konoha made him an undercover agent, and how he used me as a threat to get him to kill him. Kill your own compatriots, even your biological parents."

Seeing the emotional Sasuke, Katsuragi paused slightly. He didn't expect Itachi to actually tell Sasuke everything. I have to say that Tsukuyomi's technique is really convenient.

"You can't blame all this on Konoha."

At this time, Gui Mu didn't know what to say. Itachi's life was indeed miserable. No matter what, he couldn't change the fact that he killed his own compatriots and his parents.

"You knew about this from the beginning, right?"

Sasuke suddenly looked straight at Gui Mu and asked seriously: "As early as when you told me that this matter was related to Gen, you already knew everything about it, right?"

"Yes, even earlier."

Gui Mu did not deceive Sasuke and said: "I have some special abilities in intelligence and can know many things. I was indeed clear about this from the beginning."

"Then why don't you tell me"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke asked excitedly.

"So what if I tell you?" Regarding Sasuke's excitement, Gui Mu just looked at him calmly and asked: "After the genocide, you only thought about revenge. If you knew the truth, given the original situation, you would only be seeking death. It’s just a road.”

"After that, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi-sensei, I, in order to prevent you from being immersed in hatred, tried our best to change you. In order to prevent you from resenting Itachi, I also told you that there is a hidden secret in this. ."

"I don't know why Itachi suddenly chose to tell you the truth, but I want to ask you, is he satisfied with the path you have chosen?"

"In other words, are you worthy of all that he has done for you?"

Katsuragi's words were like a sharp sword going straight into Sasuke's chest, making him lower his head, recalling the disappointment and loss in Itachi's eyes when he saw him here in Orochimaru.

"You have reason to resent those who asked you to exterminate your clan, but do you have reason to resent Konoha as a whole?"

Looking at the silent Sasuke, Katsuragi continued: "Like Sakura and Naruto, they did something wrong. They even risked their lives to find you. They just want to find their former teammates."

"I said, I am no longer the same person I was before."

Sasuke took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Although you are right, I still can't forgive Konoha."

After hearing Sasuke's words, Katsuragi asked directly: "Then what do you want to do to take revenge? Like Orochimaru before, destroy the entire Konoha?"

Sasuke stood there unable to answer. In fact, he was confused in his heart. On the one hand, he was facing the family's misfortune and Itachi's unfair treatment, and on the other hand, Naruto and Sakura were persevering to save him.

This made him not know what kind of choice to make.
