[Uchiha Madara: "Hmph, Sasuke, I'll forgive your rudeness since you resemble Izuna."]
[Uchiha Madara: "The Uchiha Clan Massacre has nothing to do with me; that was Obito's doing. Even if I was dissatisfied with the Uchiha Clan, I wouldn't have someone wipe them out. I, Uchiha Madara, disdain such actions."]
[Uchiha Madara: "Of course, if you say that Obito's actions led to later events because of me, I have nothing to say."]
[Uchiha Madara: "Look at Danzo's arm, and when he attacked Uchiha Shisui, what technique did he use to counter when controlled by genjutsu?"]
[Uchiha Madara: That was Izanagi. Even without the Nine-Tails incident, how many years could the Uchiha Clan Massacre be delayed? Moreover, they were disciples of the inherently evil Senju Tobirama, like rats in a sewer."]
After witnessing Black Zetsu dug out his heart, Uchiha Madara suppressed his rage.
He started looking into things related to Uchiha Sasuke.
As a result, he unexpectedly discovered two 'outstanding talents'.
Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Itachi.
Damn it, especially Obito, when did I tell you to release the Nine-Tails?
When did I tell you to wipe out the Uchiha Clan? Are you just going around smearing my reputation while using my name?
And even if you released the Nine-Tails, you were actually defeated by a mere Hokage. It's utterly disgraceful, a disgrace to him, Uchiha Madara.
[Uchiha Sasuke: "Still trying to quibble, Madara?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "What I said is the truth. The person you should be looking for isn't me, but your 'brilliant' older brother, Uchiha Itachi. Don't forget, he was the one who asked Obito for help."]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "You..."]
...
The two 'Mad Laughter Four' were furiously arguing on the Chat Group's public screen.
Most of the other Chat Group members continued to watch the projection, and even if they noticed the messages on the public screen, it was not appropriate for them to interject now.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Oh, eating melon, eating melon, it seems very lively, @Uchiha Madara @Uchiha Sasuke."]
The Group Leader, who had been silently lurking, suddenly appeared.
The two people arguing immediately fell silent.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Why did you quiet down? It's okay, continue! I love watching a good show."]
[Kumoko: "Um... Group Leader, isn't adding fuel to the fire a bit... not good?"]
[Asakura Hao: "As expected of the Group Leader! When it comes to breaking up fights, I, Asakura Hao, declare you the strongest!"]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "..."]
[Uchiha Madara: "..."]
Good heavens, Asakura Hao, you, a defeated opponent, dare to mimic my words?
[World's No. 1 Princess: "What does it matter? It's not like they can't be revived if they accidentally die."]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "Revived?"]
[Kurapika: "There's something called Dragon Balls in the Chat Group, but it seems they can only revive one person at a time."]
Unlike Uchiha Sasuke, Kurapika, after entering the Chat Group, had thoroughly understood the contents of the Chat Group in his mind, one by one.
He also looked for things he was particularly concerned about, like resurrection.
Upon seeing the message on the public screen, Uchiha Sasuke quickly searched the trading platform.
"Dragon Balls, resurrection..."
Uchiha Sasuke's body trembled slightly.
He uploaded the training method for Lightning Release: Kirin to the Chat Group.
He gained 300 points, but this was still a drop in the bucket compared to 5000 points.
[Uchiha Sasuke: "@World's No. 1 Princess, Group Leader, is there any way to quickly obtain a large number of points?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Ninjutsu, secret techniques, all of these can be exchanged for points. If what you upload is purchased by other group members, you can also receive an additional one-tenth of the points."]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "I want to revive all of my clan members. Is there any way?"]
If he could revive his loved ones, even his clan members, then revenge could be put on hold for a bit.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Feeling guilty? You really are a kind child."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Hmm, it's not impossible. However, before I answer your question, let me ask you something: what do you think of Uchiha Itachi? I mean his actions."]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "I don't know, Itachi did it for me..."]
Uchiha Sasuke's feelings about Uchiha Itachi were very complex.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Perhaps you're too focused on Uchiha Itachi and haven't noticed some other things."]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "I don't quite understand what you mean."]
[Uchiha Madara: "@Uchiha Sasuke, you really are a blank slate! Don't tell me you didn't notice Kotoamatsukami; that was something left for you."]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "He didn't use it on me, and in the end, he admitted his own mistakes."]
[Asakura Hao: "Tsk—, admit? If you connect Kotoamatsukami with Uchiha Itachi's last conversation with you, don't you have a deeper thought?"]
[Lumine: "@Uchiha Sasuke, I also have a brother. If my brother were like Uchiha Itachi, I'd run as far away as possible."]
Uchiha Itachi's desire for control is many times more terrifying than a brother complex.
[Lumine: "@Uchiha Sasuke, to put it simply, are you sure Uchiha Itachi did it for you, and not for Konoha?"]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "?"]
[Lumine: "Your last conversation, no matter how I look at it, seems like emotional blackmail. Uchiha Itachi kept talking about Konoha, and the truth he told you was mostly about how good Konoha was, but he never mentioned a word about Konoha forcing the Uchiha."]
[Lumine: "And at the end, he even said, 'I am Uchiha Itachi of Konoha.' He said he was giving you a choice, but at that time, did you really have a choice?"]
[Lumine: "If Kotoamatsukami could still be used, would he have directly used it on you? How much of what he told you can be guaranteed to be true, and not just him calculating your personality and deliberately saying it that way?"]
After watching the storyline involving the Uchiha clan.
Even Lumine, who was accustomed to the abyss's depths, felt a chill.
She completely failed to understand Uchiha Itachi's thought process.
What did he consider his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, to be?
A tool?
Would Sasuke, with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, not be able to survive in the Ninja World without Konoha?
This was like being a dog for Konoha, becoming addicted to it, and even dragging his family into it.
It was even worse than that dog belonging to Kamisato Ayaka.
...
Orochimaru's residence in the Sound Village.
Reading the messages posted by the Chat Group members on the public screen.
Uchiha Sasuke recalled scene after scene from the story in his mind.
Originally, he could still convince himself by saying that Uchiha Itachi had no choice but to do what he did for him.
However, after hearing everyone's analysis, he fell silent.
"Uchiha Itachi..."
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes slowly closed.
After an unknown amount of time, the aura around his body grew colder, and his closed eyes slowly opened, with two tear streaks flowing from the corners of his eyes.
In his pupils, the crimson three-tomoe transformed into the shape of a six-pointed star.
