Naruto: This Uchiha is too Evil - Chapter 60
On a secluded high platform, Konan’s expression was fluctuating.
Itsuki’s words had shocked her to the core. Did he mean that the Sage’s eyes didn’t belong to Nagato? If that were true, it would mean they had been manipulated from the beginning, including Yahiko’s death. Everything they had been doing would be meaningless.
“What exactly do you know?” Konan’s eyes were filled with killing intent as she stared at Itsuki. This bastard had just invalidated everything they had done up until now, even Yahiko’s death.
Itsuki shrugged and said helplessly, “I know everything, but even if I told you, you wouldn’t listen, so why bother?”
“You…”
“Would you listen? Konan, look into my sincere eyes and answer honestly.”
Screw you! Konan couldn’t help but curse in her heart. Would someone agree if someone came to Uchiha Itsuki and told him he was wrong and needed to gouge out his eyes? It would be surprising if he didn’t hit the guy with a Water Release jutsu.
“You see? You don’t believe me, so what’s the point in saying anything?” Itsuki shrugged again. “Poor Nagato, being someone’s puppet all his life.”
Konan’s breathing became erratic. She wanted to angrily refute Itsuki and accuse him of lying, but a voice inside her told her to trust him. Uchiha Itsuki was worth trusting.
“Then what’s the point of telling me all this if it’s useless?”
“How can it be useless?” Itsuki grinned slyly. “I successfully messed with your mind, and you’ll definitely remember me deeply. You’ll think of me from time to time.”
“I’ve already taken the crucial first step towards winning you over,” Itsuki said, clenching his fists with a glint in his eye.
“Keep going, Itsuki! You can do it!”
Konan: “…”
This bastard!
“Take this!” Konan handed Itsuki a ring.
“Oh!” Itsuki’s eyes lit up with excitement. “This must be…”
“Yes, this is…”
“A wedding ring!”
Itsuki declared, “It must be a wedding ring. Konan, you even prepared this. Have you been eyeing me too?”
Konan glared at him sideways. This guy had thick skin and dared to say anything.
“What? Is it not!?”
Konan nearly laughed out loud in anger. “Where did you get the idea that I would marry you?”
Itsuki looked suspicious. “For Nagato’s life! If you marry me, I’ll have a reason to help him. Otherwise, I’d have to team up with Nagato’s enemies to take him down.”
Konan’s face went rigid.
Itsuki grinned at her. “Konan, am I right? You don’t want anything to happen to Nagato, do you?”
Konan’s face darkened. “Yes, you’re right.”
Itsuki happily put on the ‘Vermilion’ ring. In the original story, Itachi took on this identity after completing the massacre of his clan and joining Akatsuki. Now, Itsuki had become the owner of this ring.
Konan slowly said, “From now on, you’re a member of Akatsuki. This ring will allow us to communicate and… please take care of Nagato.”
“Of course!” Itsuki thumped his chest, making a resounding noise. “He’s your family, Uchiha Konan. I won’t let anyone harm him.”
Good one, Uchiha Konan…
Konan exhaled deeply, not denying it. She thought momentarily and frowned, “By the way, will you betray Konoha?”
“Not now, but maybe in the future,” Itsuki said frankly.
His plan was still in motion so that he couldn’t betray Konoha. As for the future, who could say for sure? If, by some unlikely chance, Hiruzen appointed a Uchiha as Hokage, his plan would be ruined. However, that possibility was practically zero.
Konan didn’t mind and said, “All Akatsuki members are rogue ninjas. This isn’t a requirement, but with you in Konoha, you might not be able to handle everything.”
The ring had many functions, but some things required personal attention.
“You don’t need to worry about that!” Itsuki smiled and looked to the side.
There, another figure dragging a bunch of things was approaching.
Konan focused her gaze and was shocked.
It was another Uchiha Itsuki, dragging all the Pain bodies behind him, tied up roughly with a rope, and dragged along the ground.
“Isn’t this your shadow clone? How can it be this strong?” Konan was in disbelief. These were the Pain bodies, the Six Paths of Pain, wielding the Rinnegan, the eyes of a living god. Could Itsuki’s shadow clone defeat them all?
As she watched Itsuki approach, she noticed that his handsome face, typical of a Uchiha, wore a gentle smile that seemed inherently evil. His entire being radiated a dangerous aura.
“I’ll tell you a secret!” Itsuki grinned at Konan. “Every Mangeky? Sharingan has its unique ability, and this is mine.”
“A unique ability?”
“Yes!” Since Konan was under Kotoamatsukami’s influence and trusted him completely, Itsuki didn’t mind revealing some things to her. Besides, he needed some people to know.
Itsuki’s gaze briefly swept over a dark corner.
To hide an ability, the best way was to give it a cover.
“My Mangeky? ability is Time-Space Clone.”
Itsuki’s eyes revealed the eerie Mangeky? pattern again.
Simply put, Itsuki could summon a particular clone using summoning jutsu. This clone would be Itsuki from a specific time. The Itsuki that fought the Six Paths of Pain was Itsuki from a day ago.
Konan’s face grew serious. “That means… there are two Itsukis?”
“Exactly!” Itsuki smiled. “How strong is my ability?”
“Why tell me this?” Konan asked, puzzled.
“To give you some confidence!” Itsuki shrugged. “A strong man makes a woman dependent.”
“Also, I want to tell you I have the power to save Nagato.”
Konan nodded slightly, her gaze towards Itsuki softening. “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
“We’re family! No need to be polite!” Itsuki grinned at Konan. “Aren’t you going to treat me to a meal?”
“Let’s go!” Konan didn’t mind and led Itsuki away.
As they left, Itsuki’s gaze briefly lingered on a certain spot, and he smiled strangely.
After they left, space twisted in the corner, and a mysterious figure wearing an orange mask with ripples appeared.
The masked man stared coldly at Itsuki’s back.
“Uchiha… Itsuki!”
