Konoha Sheriff

Sasuke looked at Itachi across from him and listened to him say such words with a sarcastic look on his face. He felt that the man in front of him was so strange.

How did that gentle Itachi, that gentle Itachi who treated everyone, become like this?

Yes, it was true that Beichen and his elder brother were not at odds with each other. Over the years, he had heard rumors from his tribe that there were some conflicts between the two.

But in the years since Itachi left Konoha, why had Beichen ever lacked attention to him and his mother?

As the leader of the Uchiha clan and the head of the police force, Beichen had so many things to do every day, but he was still willing to take time to accompany him and Naruto to practice.

I am willing to answer all my questions about cultivation.

Is this the attitude towards enemies?

If Beichen really had resentment towards Itachi, he could have told himself that Itachi was dead from the beginning, or he could have just like Itachi said and casually spread rumors to smear Itachi without confronting him.

But did he do this?The answer is no!

In the past few years, has Beichen ever said anything bad about Weasel?

When he pestered him and asked where his brother had gone, the answer he gave was that he didn't know whether Itachi was dead or alive. If he wanted the answer to this question, he should find it himself.

The more Sasuke thought like this in his mind, the more ugly he felt compared to Itachi's expression in front of him.

At this moment, Naruto on the side finally remembered Itachi's face, and recalled the scene in Konoha Village when Beichen protected him behind him and had a verbal battle with the scholars, but was eventually interrupted by Itachi. He couldn't help but feel angry. opened his mouth:

"You were from that time... It turns out that the brother Sasuke always talks about is this annoying guy like you!"

As soon as Naruto said these words, Itachi and Sasuke frowned at the same time.

Itachi felt that Naruto spoke such words at this time because he obviously didn't want him to reunite with his brother, and felt that Naruto had no good intentions.

Sasuke, on the other hand, had never heard of this matter. After all, before Itachi defected from Konoha, he had almost no dealings with Naruto. Naruto didn't know the specific appearance of Itachi, so he never mentioned it to Sasuke. this matter:

"Naruto, why did you say that suddenly?"

Although Naruto's personality has changed greatly, the impatience he inherited from Kushina has not changed much. He looked at Itachi's eyes as if he wanted to eat people, and said angrily:

"Back then, when people in the village thought I was a demon fox and beat and scolded me, Brother Beichen once stood up and tried to clear my name. However, at the most critical moment, your brother descended from the sky and forcibly interrupted the discussion.

If it weren’t for this, I might have been able to get rid of my reputation as a demon fox earlier!”

Listening to Naruto's angrily explanation, Itachi looked at Naruto and Sasuke as good friends again, and immediately "see through Beichen's plan" in his heart. He immediately sneered and said:

"Uchiha Beichen would stand up and speak for you back then, just to use you to put on a show. Only you would be naive enough to think that that guy really wanted to do your best."

"You bullshit!"

After hearing this, Naruto subconsciously retorted, and the Nine-Tails' chakra coat even appeared on his body due to the violent fluctuations in emotions.

"Am I talking nonsense? See for yourself what chakra is escaping from your body? Uchiha Beichen is so kind to you, just because he wants to use your Jinchūriki to check and balance the top management of Konoha headed by the third generation. It's a shame. You are still grateful to him."

Prejudices in people's hearts are like a big mountain. Itachi has always felt that he was reduced to where he is now because of Beichen, so even after so many years, he still doesn't want to think that he is wrong.

In his heart, he still felt that Beichen was a false and hypocritical existence. Everything he did was just to firmly hold Konoha in his hands and achieve dictatorship over Konoha.

"enough!"

Not long after Itachi finished speaking, Sasuke suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud shout.

He tried not to let his emotions show too much excitement, and then reluctantly said:

"I have my own judgment about Uchiha Beichen. Brother, now, I just want you to tell me what happened back then, why my father passed away suddenly, and why you chose to leave Konoha. He has never come back to see my mother and I for so many years."

In silence, Itachi subconsciously closed his mouth when he heard Sasuke ask about what happened back then. The incident back then was obviously a scar that he didn't want to face.

Although he later felt that he was just deceived by the high-level officials of Konoha, he didn't know how to explain all this to Sasuke.

However, his attitude in Sasuke's eyes made a thumping sound in Sasuke's heart. Many negative thoughts that he had suppressed in the past were now like uncontrolled fountains in his mind. surging in the middle.

At this time, Sasuke felt his chest was tight and his eyes were a little swollen. He stared directly at Itachi and said word by word:

"Answer my question... Just tell me!"

Listening to Sasuke's nearly collapsed cry, Itachi finally told the truth of the year after a long sigh. Under the disbelieving gazes of Naruto and Sasuke, Itachi was eager to bring down Beichen, so he was criticized by Konoha's senior management. He was deceived and planned to ambush Beichen, but all the truth that led to his father's death was revealed.

Although he repeatedly emphasized during the narration that "the top management of Konoha are not good people" and "he was too naive back then and mistakenly thought that they were really thinking about the development of Konoha", the content of his narration was still Naruto and the other three were dumbfounded.

There are some things, no matter how Itachi hides them from his own perspective, but for Sasuke and others who have lived in Konoha for so many years and witnessed with their own eyes how Beichen led Konoha and the family to eliminate the barriers step by step and move towards a better place. It's so pale and feeble.

After listening to Itachi's story, not to mention Naruto and Sakura, even Sasuke, who is Itachi's younger brother, looked at Itachi from the original complicated look to one of disbelief.

In Itachi's narration, although the top management of Konoha, headed by the Third Generation and Danzo, were hateful, the one who made Sasuke and the others feel more disgusted than them was Itachi in front of them.

Sasuke couldn't figure it out.

How could his brother, who was so smart and nearly omnipotent from his childhood perspective, be so stupid?

If Sasuke was still holding thoughts in his mind such as "Everything is just a misunderstanding" and "As long as the words are spoken clearly, everyone can settle the past and his brother can return to Konoha".

Now Sasuke looked in front of him, his mouth was so hard that it was almost twisted, and he stubbornly believed that Beichen was "a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing" Itachi. He only had this thought in his heart:

"I would rather you had died five years ago."
