Itachi, you wouldn't want Sasuke to get hurt either, would you...?

Chapter 66 Itachi, you wouldn't want Sasuke to get hurt either, would you...? (Please read on!)

"You bastard, what are you trying to do to Sasuke?!"

Uchiha Itachi was like a powder keg that had been lit, completely forgetting his fear of the person in front of him. He stepped forward and grabbed Uchiha Jin by the collar, roaring as if he were insane.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha no longer cared about the village or the Will of Fire, as Sasuke's safety was at stake.

That adorable little brother...

The mere thought of Uchiha Jin, that ruthless and cruel guy, actually planning to harm his adorable younger brother, filled Itachi Uchiha with an uncontrollable killing intent.

"Itachi, what are you doing?!"

Fugaku obviously didn't notice that Uchiha Jin was deliberately suppressing his voice with his eye power. When he realized that his eldest son was treating the great contributor of the Uchiha clan so rudely, he quickly flew forward and knocked Uchiha Itachi back half a step. Then he turned around and bowed apologetically.

"Sorry, it seems that those eyes only recently awakened, and Itachi isn't able to control his emotions right now!"

"fine!"

Uchiha Jin casually flicked his slightly wrinkled collar, a strangely kind smile appearing on his face as he spoke softly.

"Isn't this a testament to the power of the Fugaku clan head's bloodline? Both father and son have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan; this is an extremely rare occurrence in the history of our Uchiha clan!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha burst into loud laughter, his carefree and unrestrained manner revealing just how smug he was at that moment.

So many years...

To achieve his secret, Fugaku, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, kept a low profile for many years. Now that he finally saw the results, he felt a sense of triumph.

Although Uchiha Shisui died, he also severely injured Root and Danzo.

After Uchiha Jin awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he led his clansmen to defeat Root, who had always been at odds with the Uchiha. In the end, he even forced the Hokage lineage leaders to kill Danzo, that bastard.

Such things were things that Fugaku Uchiha would never have dared to dream of in the past, but now they were happening right before his eyes.

At last!

His eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Whether as the head of the Uchiha clan or as an elderly father, Fugaku Uchiha had no reason not to be excited and joyful at this moment.

"Oh, right!"

Fugaku Uchiha slowly stopped laughing, and then asked a question with some curiosity.

"What were you talking about just now? What happened to Sasuke this time?"

"Father, Jin..."

Itachi Uchiha was about to remind Fugaku that Uchiha Jin had interrupted him to question why he was trying to disrupt the harmony between the clan and the village, and that he seemed to be trying to threaten him with Sasuke.

But before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Jin's slightly mocking voice interrupted him.

"I'm also in charge of clan training, aren't I...?"

"When I first saw Sasuke, I noticed a strange quality about him, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it at the time. But that feeling is very similar to the aura that Itachi has now..."

After saying this, Uchiha Jin turned to look at Uchiha Fugaku again and offered his congratulations with a touch of wistfulness.

"Perhaps the clan chief's family is about to produce their third pair of kaleidoscopes!"

Really?!

Fugaku Uchiha had no doubts. The words of Uchiha Jin, who was not only an education expert but also had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, were highly credible.

Furthermore, Fugaku Uchiha was also aware of his own abilities...

Could it be that my Uchiha clan is really going to have a fourth... uh... a fifth pair of Mangekyou Sharingan?

Our ancestors...

You can rest in peace now that you're in the afterlife!

"Father, that's not how it is..."

Itachi Uchiha could clearly sense the deep malice emanating from King Uchiha, so he hurriedly tried to remind his father, who had been bewitched.

"yes!"

However, Itachi's words were interrupted once again by Uchiha Jin, who spoke again with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Not long ago, Sasuke told me personally that he wanted to inherit the will of 'Gyokusai' (the ultimate act of annihilation) and lead the Uchiha clan to reclaim everything that was rightfully theirs!"

"I believe that with such talent and such a strong will, it's only a matter of time before Sasuke awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"What?!"

Itachi Uchiha's pupils suddenly contracted.

Although Itachi already knew that Sasuke had begun participating in the clan's training, he had been responsible for passing on information to Hiruzen Sarutobi ever since the Uchiha clan's unusual activities became more frequent.

thus……

He always felt a sense of unease rising in his heart, but he never had the mind to investigate it in detail.

Could it be Sasuke?!

Upon realizing this, Itachi Uchiha suddenly raised his head and instantly met the deep meaning in Jin Uchiha's eyes. A chilling coldness instantly rushed into his mind.

"You bastard..."

Itachi Uchiha's anger surged, but King Uchiha reacted even faster, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation and dissatisfaction.

"I heard Itachi-kun is working in the Anbu now?"

"Don't worry, Itachi is a spy I sent to the Anbu!"

Fugaku Uchiha was not angry at all; on the contrary, he seemed quite proud. After all, being able to send spies into the Anbu was enough for him and that old guy Setsuna to brag about for a long time.

However, now that the Uchiha clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi have completely fallen out, even if they were slow to react before, they probably wouldn't trust Itachi anymore now.

But Itachi, after all, possessed a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan...

Thinking of this, Fugaku immediately looked at Uchiha Itachi and said gently, full of pride and approval.

"Itachi, you can stop the undercover work now. The clan will need your strength more than ever!"

"Father?"

Itachi Uchiha's pupils contracted again as he suddenly realized a serious problem once more.

Originally belonging to the "moderate faction," Fugaku Uchiha only reluctantly expressed hostility towards Konoha due to the influence of his clansmen's opinions. Now, he has actually changed his political stance.

Are they radicals now?

Or perhaps the even more terrifying Jade Shattering Faction!

"I see. I even targeted Itachi-kun in the ring because of this before. I'm really sorry..."

Although Uchiha Jin apologized in his words, there was no remorse in his tone at this moment. Sensing the struggle in Itachi's eyes and heart, he added again.

"Although Sasuke has gradually shown his talent, he is still too young. Now that Itachi and the clan leader have both revealed their Mangekyou Sharingan, it's inevitable that some people will set their sights on Sasuke!"

As Uchiha Jin spoke, a chilling killing intent emanated from him, but his gaze remained fixed on Uchiha Itachi, whose expression was complex at the moment.

"Even within the clan's territory, there's no guarantee that someone won't take the risk and harm Itachi's adorable genius younger brother!"

"you……"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but when he thought of the powerful strength that Uchiha Jin had just displayed, and his cute younger brother who seemed to have been bewitched by the other party, his original desire to take action was immediately suppressed.

"Itachi, you wouldn't want Sasuke to get hurt, would you...?"

Sensing the compromise in Itachi's eyes, Jin Uchiha slowly stepped forward again, his gaze fixed on the Uchiha boy who was a head shorter than him.

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha's eyes filled with tears. He glanced helplessly at Fugaku Uchiha beside him, and seeing that the other man did not seem to sense the evil of Jin Uchiha.

Unable to speak and worried about his adorable younger brother, Itachi Uchiha managed to utter a single word with great difficulty.

"yes!"
