Itachi's Truth

The numerous Shadow Clones perfectly completed their tasks.

In an extremely short amount of time, they had already read through the entirety of the Naruto anime and manga.

After the Shadow Clones dispelled, these fragmented pieces of information converged in Naruto's mind, forming a complete storyline.

Having just briefly reunited with his parents only to be separated again, Naruto didn't even have time to feel much sadness before his mind was completely occupied by the vast amount of information about the future that had appeared out of nowhere.

Setting aside the filler and unimportant content, he extracted all the key events and major incidents of the future, which constituted the main storyline.

It began with graduating from the Ninja Academy, being assigned to Team 7 and forming bonds with Sakura and Sasuke, obtaining Kakashi's approval as their Jonin team leader by stealing the bells, and then starting their daily Genin missions.

Then came the Land of Waves mission, the Chunin Exams, the Konoha Crush, and Sasuke's defection.

Tsunade was brought back to become the Fifth Hokage, setting the stage for the major crisis of the Akatsuki organization, after which he went on a training journey with his master Jiraiya.

The first part of Naruto ended there.

Then came Shippuden.

This chapter began with Naruto returning to Konoha after nearly three years of training.

The Akatsuki organization, which had been dormant for many years, finally completed its final preparations and began executing its plan to capture the Tailed Beasts, sending out two S-rank Rogue Ninja, Deidara and Sasori, whose strength was comparable to that of a Kage.

The two attacked the Sand Ninja Village and kidnapped Gaara, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki who had become the Kazekage.

The Sand Ninja Village requested help from Konoha, and Naruto and the others accepted the mission, beginning their efforts to rescue Gaara.

Then came the Akatsuki's immortal duo, Kakuzu and Hidan, also S-rank Rogue Ninja. Sarutobi Asuma died, and Naruto created the Wind Release S-rank ninjutsu Rasenshuriken to kill Kakuzu.

After that, the Three-Tailed Beast appeared, Jiraiya infiltrated the Rain Ninja Village, Sasuke defeated Orochimaru, who wanted to take over his body, and formed Team Hawk, battling Deidara...

Naruto quickly browsed through these memories. Although most of them were related to him, his future enemies, and his friends and family, he didn't feel much of a connection to them.

After all, he in reality was a completely different person from that hot-blooded idiot in the manga.

Apart from the skills the other used and the information about the enemy ninja, which were of some reference value to the real Naruto, there was no extra sense of immersion.

He completely didn't understand why the Naruto in the manga, who grew up in the same environment as him, could still maintain such enthusiasm and optimism, as if he had a constant positive energy personality buff.

Was the brainwashing effect of the Will of Fire that strong?

Anyone else in that environment would be considered well-adjusted if they didn't take revenge on society.

And the extreme avenger Sasuke in the manga was fundamentally different from the Sasuke in reality, who, although somewhat gloomy, was still relatively normal and able to distinguish right from wrong.

Naruto could understand Sasuke's change a little better, after all, the Sasuke in reality had his companionship and encouragement.

But the one in the manga had suffered the betrayal of the person closest to him, carrying everything alone.

Until Naruto saw the final battle between Sasuke and Itachi.

And when he heard the truth about Itachi from the masked man who called himself Uchiha Madara.

Naruto's expression changed for the first time.

Skipping the rest of the content, Naruto deliberately began searching for information about Itachi, finally piecing together the truth about the massacre of the entire Uchiha clan.

"From the time the village was first established, due to the lingering hatred between the Senju and Uchiha clans from the Warring States Period, Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, who was also a high-ranking member of the village, maintained an attitude of suspicion and distrust towards the Uchiha clan."

"Therefore, the Second Hokage at the time handed over the seemingly high-ranking but actually offensive position of the Military Police Force to the Uchiha clan."

"In addition, the Uchiha clan was inherently arrogant and easily angered, a family of ninjas passed down through generations, with little education and limited wisdom, not understanding what crisis management was, nor what smiling service was, and even less understanding that the powers of the police and urban management should be separated."

"Thus, they easily fell into the Second Hokage's trap, successfully offending most of the villagers, becoming the target of public criticism, and cutting off the possibility of their clan becoming Hokage."

"But at the same time, the Second Hokage did not go too far; he took Uchiha Kagami, who was not limited to his clan and possessed the Will of Fire, as his disciple, not completely isolating them from the higher-ups."

"It was a kind of appeasement amidst vigilance, deeply understanding the way of balance."

"Subsequently, the Second Hokage passed away, and Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Third Hokage, forming a new high-level group with Tobirama Senju's three disciples, Torifu Koharu, Shimura Danzo, and Mitokado Homura."

"They inherited the Second Hokage's practice of excluding the Uchiha clan, but did not inherit his use of the way of balance, completely unaware of the principle of excess."

"Therefore, their other fellow disciple, Uchiha Kagami, either framed or accidentally, died young to protect Shimura Danzo."

"After this, the Uchiha clan, one of the key families that founded the village, continued to be excluded by everyone in the village and was completely isolated from the higher-ups, cutting off their path to advancement."

"Then, there was the Nine Tails Fox incident, where Kurama was controlled by the masked man, and the Sharingan in its eyes became evidence for the higher-ups to continue excluding the Uchiha clan, this time directly driving the entire Uchiha clan to a place far from the center of the village."

"At this time, the Uchiha had completely lost the hearts of the people in the village, even arousing deep disgust."

"And the Uchiha clan, living in such an environment, hated the higher-ups even more, seeking to regain their due power and status, the conflict between the two intensified, and the Uchiha began to develop the idea of a coup."

"In this context, Uchiha Shisui appeared, a member of the Uchiha clan who was concerned about the village and the clan, wanted to ease the conflict between the two, had a broader mind and pattern than the average Uchiha, was a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, and was deeply influenced by the Will of Fire."

"He had extremely excellent ninja talent, and at a young age, he had already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and also awakened a genjutsu like Kotoamatsukami that could change other people's will silently."

"But in the end, Shisui's efforts failed, the conflict between the village and the clan became more and more intense, and had reached the point where it could not be eased. They regarded Shisui, who had awakened the Mangekyo, as their trump card and wanted to launch a coup."
