Chapter 704

At 18 years old, the Third Hokage died in battle, and he returned to Konoha.

All memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

"They say that when a person dies, all the past will emerge in their heart; it seems I'm almost there too!"

Uchiha Itachi murmured in a low voice and closed his eyes again.

Now he was suffering from a terminal illness, and his body had been maintained by medicine for a long time, already reaching its limit.

With no other choice, he could only arrange a battle with his brother in advance, hoping to help him remove the curse seal shackles and give him new power at the last moment of his life.

He didn't regret anything about his past.

But whenever it was late at night, he couldn't sleep.

Every time he closed his eyes, those bloody scenes would surge into his mind crazily, waking him up.

It had been eight years since the clan was wiped out.

In these eight years, he hadn't had a single full night's sleep.

Every time he closed his eyes, that scene would appear in his mind, lingering.

Physical and mental exhaustion, plus the excessive use of the Mangekyo 260 Sharingan, had long since brought his body to the brink of collapse.

If it weren't for his brother, he wouldn't have wanted to support it anymore.

Thinking of his brother, the corners of Uchiha Itachi's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Although his betrayal of Konoha to join Orochimaru was beyond his expectation,

the achievements were also extraordinary.

Last time he saw him, his strength had soared, and he could even kill Deidara alone.

With such strength, he should have the ability to protect himself in the ninja world.

After finding a way to kill Orochimaru in his body, and by killing himself, this "missing-nin," he should be able to return to Konoha.

And if he died at his hands, he could also awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

With these, he should be able to gain a foothold in the ninja world in the future!

Just at this time, he suddenly coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Tomorrow, as long as I wait until tomorrow, everything will be over!

My body, please, hold on a little longer; as long as tomorrow passes, I can completely let go of the shackles!"

PS: Uchiha Itachi is one of my favorite characters. Living alone carrying all the pain, I hope this time before he dies, he can get a glimmer of happiness.
