Conversation With Uchiha Itachi

One day later at night.

Yami was shuttling through Konoha with Shunpo, going to the top of the Hokage mountain.

He had previously hypnotized an Uchiha member to pass on the information for a meeting to Uchiha Itachi with the message that it is about something important regarding Akatsuki and Sasuke.

When Yami arrived, he sensed Uchiha Itachi in a hiding place, with a Kunai in his hand.

Looking straight in his direction, Yami, who had disguised himself with a mask, called him out.

"Itachi, come out. I don't want to brag but with your current strength, you simply have no qualifications to have a battle with me."

As soon as Yami said that, he blasted his Chakra Aura in Itachi's direction. The ground underneath him cracked and Itachi felt extremely suffocated.

After a few seconds as soon as Yami regained his Aura, Itachi took a deep breath helplessly put away the Kunai in his hand, realizing the strength gap between them.

But Yami felt it was not enough yet, he wanted Itachi to understand that the gap between them is so big, that he doesn't need to bother to scheme against him at all. Otherwise, there would always be some suspicions left in Itachi.

Taking out his sword, Yami slashed it lightly in the opposite direction of Itachi and an incredible scene appeared. The slash annihilated a large area of the forest, making Itachi feel extremely shocked. After calming down a bit, Itachi turned to Yami and asked with a cautious and frustrated expression.

"May I know, why I got the attention of such a strong ninja?"

Yami laughed a bit when he saw the frustrated expression on Itachi's usually paralyzed and emotionless face, which he always showed in the Anime.

The current Itachi is still a bit young after all, has not developed the state of mind from later periods.

"Come here, let's talk.

So, I don't want to tell you my identity, let's just say I am someone who likes teaching disciples. I found out about Akatsuki's plan to exterminate the Uchiha clan. I believe that guy with the orange swirl mask, who likes to call himself 'Uchiha Madara' has already contacted you?"

Itachi was shocked about the amount of information this mysterious ninja had but still listened silently.

"Well, it's like this. I am not sure what your exact plans are, but I believe you should be trying to get the trust of that guy and ambush him with Uchiha Shisui at the critical moment, right?

Then I will tell you that it's impossible, not only is the Mangekyo ability of that clown incomprehensibly strong, but also his organization the Akatsuki is not something the Uchiha or Konoha as a whole can deal with at all.

The Uchiha-clan is already hopeless, but there is still something that can be done. I plan to accept a disciple from the Uchiha clan and of course as my disciple he will get my full protection and training.

I like your talent, so what do you think, do you want to be my disciple Itachi?"

Itachi almost collapsed when he heard the words of Yami. He had indeed planned to ambush the masked man with Shisui and then resist Akatsuki with his father and Shisui, but now Yami told him that it's impossible to resist with their strength, even with the help of Konoha.

Although Itachi also knew the information of Akatsuki from the mouth of the masked man, he still had some hope before, but now he recognized reality and felt despair.

The Uchiha clan is almost hopeless and when he thinks of the inevitable death of his parents and brother, a tingling sensation appeared in his eyes.

A special Chakra poured into his eyes and the three-tomoe Sharingan combined into a Mangekyo pattern.

Touching his eyes with his hand, Itachi mumbled in a low voice.

'The same eyes as Shisui, but...'

It's not enough! The despair in Itachi's heart grew even stronger.

"What an incredible talent, Itachi. You should be almost twelve years old but you have already activated Mangekyo Sharingan. I want you as my disciple more and more."

In fact, Yami did not plan to accept Itachi as a disciple from the beginning, he only made the offer with the special condition of "my disciple will be protected and trained by me", so that Itachi recommends his younger brother Sasuke to him, from his own initiative.

Otherwise, with how protective Itachi is about Sasuke, he would get suspicious, if he wanted Sasuke from the beginning.

"Sir, if I become your disciple can you save the Uchiha clan?"

Yami shook his head with regret.

"I am sorry Itachi, although I am indeed very strong I can't save the Uchiha clan. The leader of Akatsuki has Rinnegan and can completely annihilate a village with his strongest blow, if it's one on one I would still have a chance against him, but the whole Akatsuki is impossible for me to deal with.

Okay let's do it like this, I can still take in one other child aside from my disciple. At least the Uchiha lineage will be preserved then."

Itachi bowed his head and clenched his fists with force. Blood gushed out of his hand, showing his frustration and helplessness.

Annihilate a village with one blow? Although Itachi is not sure if this is true, the information about the leader having Rinnegan should be true, otherwise, the lie would be revealed too easily.

'How can I deal with someone like this?!'

With tears in his, Itachi raised his head and looked at Yami. He knelt down and begged.

"Please senior, accept my little brother Sasuke as a disciple in my stead. I beg you, please!"

Yami also felt a little bad for Itachi, although he did not like the act of killing one's own parents at all, the current Itachi has neither done nor ever thought of something like that yet.

"Okay, okay, then you explain it to your brother and do it well. Also, talk to your parents, it would be humiliating if the Uchiha clan doesn't take down a few of the enemies before dying right?

About Sasuke, it does not matter if he has revenge thoughts or something like that, but I at least don't want him to resent me. Understood?

Also, I will have a way to upgrade Mangekyo Sharingan to Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in the future, without transplanting your eyes to him, so don't have any dumb ideas. Oh yes, I said I will protect one other child, you can decide who it will be. Bring the children twenty kilometers south of the village, I will take them with me tomorrow night."

Itachi was both shocked and grateful, lowering his head, he said.

"Thank you, senior, Thank you! I will be forever grateful. I will arrange everything."

"Good."

With a word Yami disappeared, leaving a dazed Itachi kneeling on the ground.
