Uchiha Sasuke had always wanted to know about this.
Because for a long time, he couldn't believe his brother would do such a thing.
There were some rumors in the village about the Uchiha clan massacre. Shimura Danzo and Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned it during the Chunin exams, hinting at some hidden truths, but these snippets quickly disappeared.
At that time, only Uchiha Sasuke remembered them.
The other Uchiha didn't care about these things, they only cared that Uchiha Itachi killed their family, and Uchiha Sasuke never asked about it…
"Is that so…"
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes.
Now, Uchiha Itachi's mind was only on one question…
It was beneficial for his brother that some clan members survived the night of the massacre, giving Uchiha Sasuke a sense of belonging, so he did not have to worry about Sasuke's future…
However…
Was there a conspiracy behind this?
If nothing unexpected happened, on the night he and Uchiha Obito conspired to massacre the clan, all clan members were eliminated by him. Those who hid were either killed or should have been wiped out by the Tailed Beast Ball controlled by him…
Unless…
Someone saved them before he used the Tailed Beast Ball.
In an instant, Uchiha Itachi thought of the truth, he subconsciously locked onto the suspect, Akihara Kagura was the only one with the possibility of doing this.
That guy deliberately saved some people who had grudges against him, letting them come for revenge, which was all too normal…
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen probably had a part in it too, otherwise, these people couldn't have hidden in Konoha, but Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was already dead…
Shimura Danzo probably…
Shimura Danzo was not that kind of person.
If Shimura Danzo wanted to save some Uchiha, there was no need to persuade him to massacre the whole clan, he could even directly say to spare some people…
Forget it.
Thinking further is of no use.
Now, the most important thing is that the plan can proceed smoothly!
As long as he fulfills his purpose today, letting this brother awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan and transplanting his own Mangekyo Sharingan to gain eternal ocular power, he can reach the level Uchiha Madara once stood at, capable of resolving any conspiracy.
No matter what happens…
The original plan is what's most important!
Moreover…
Sasuke's progress has been great…
He may not even be his match now!
But he must also let him know the most important power of the Uchiha clan!
Since Sasuke is asking now, it's just the right time to take this opportunity to first tell him about the defect of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyo Sharingan…
"Want to know these?"
When Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes again, his Sharingan appeared, with shock in his eyes quietly fading, replaced by his past indifference and pride.
"It's simple."
"It's just for power."
Uchiha Itachi reached out to touch his eye socket, coldly speaking: "This matter is a secret of the Uchiha clan, related to the defect of the Mangekyo Sharingan…"
"When someone from our clan awakens the Mangekyo Sharingan, they fall under the curse of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and each use of it consumes ocular power, leading to a decline in vision…"
Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Sasuke, whose body was vaguely blurry, his voice continuing icily: "To restore the Mangekyo Sharingan's power, one can only transplant another's Mangekyo Sharingan…"
"Of course, this method still has its flaws."
"But…"
"Among the Uchiha clan, there happens to be another person who obtained the secret of the Mangekyo Sharingan. That's when the curse of the Mangekyo Sharingan found its true resolution."
"Who?"
Uchiha Sasuke furrowed his brow.
"Uchiha Madara."
Uchiha Itachi mentioned the name of Uchiha Madara.
Elsewhere.
In the corner of the warehouse.
A black and white figure lurked here.
Besides this group of Uchiha, there was another visitor here, the intelligence agent of the Akatsuki Organization, Zetsu.
Of course.
This intelligence agent was somewhat incompetent.
Because even after the Akatsuki Hideout had been destroyed, this intelligence agent was still here keeping an eye on the brotherly duel between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.
However…
This time, Zetsu was actually a bit relieved they came!
"There are actually other Uchiha who survived…"
White Zetsu looked at the group of Uchiha inside the warehouse in surprise, not daring to believe: "We never discovered them…"
"Akihara Kagura!"
White Zetsu suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem and promptly asked Black Zetsu beside it: "These people are Akihara Kagura's subordinates, he actually hid this from us…"
"A trivial matter."
Black Zetsu no longer cared about such small issues.
Now the Moon Eye Plan was proceeding methodically, and there was no need to dispute with Akihara Kagura over such trivial matters since Akihara Kagura held the most crucial aspect of the Moon Eye Plan—Uchiha Madara's body.
"However…"
Black Zetsu still felt a bit uneasy, speaking in a hoarse voice: "We must have Kagura revive Madara soon, we cannot let the initiative remain in his hands…"
Just at that moment, White Zetsu Awei appeared beside them, gently reminding: "Hey, hey, the kid now wants to use Edo Tensei to revive Madara, but he needs a sacrifice…"
"Now?"
White Zetsu and Black Zetsu were both taken aback.
This timing…
That guy wants to bring up reviving Uchiha Madara?
"Right…"
White Zetsu Awei eyed White Zetsu and Black Zetsu, cautiously speaking: "The kid told me, to give Madara powerful combat strength, he needs the original to serve as Madara's resurrection sacrifice…"
"What!"
White Zetsu immediately wanted to object!
"..."
Black Zetsu took control of White Zetsu's body without a word, speaking in a hoarse voice: "Where is Kagura?"
This so-called White Zetsu original was irrelevant.
As long as Uchiha Madara could be revived through Edo Tensei, as long as their Moon Eye Plan continued on its established path, they could have as many White Zetsus as they needed!
"Nearby."
White Zetsu Awei hurriedly led the way ahead.
Evidently.
Everyone was quite anxious about this matter.
In the forest outside the ruins, Akihara Kagura stood under the shade of a tree, beside him lay Uchiha Madara's body.
Black Zetsu, controlling the White Zetsu original, emerged from the ground. Upon seeing the body beside Akihara Kagura, its demeanor immediately eased: "Kagura, why choose to revive Madara at this time?"
"It's about time."
Akihara Kagura leaned nonchalantly against the tree trunk, glancing down at the body on the ground: "Today's battle is a grand event for the Uchiha clan, letting Lord Madara participate doesn't hurt…"
