NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32
"Me."
She pointed at herself, then at Sarutobi Hiruzen beside her, and finally at Uchiha Fugaku, and said;
"The reason why we are fighting so hard and risking our lives is not to destroy the stability of the village or to fight for the right to rule the village, but to fight for the Konoha in our hearts."
"........"
"Has anyone ever asked you this question before?" she said
""What's the problem?"
Uchiha Itachi asked. He knew his own strength. If the other party opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he would probably find it difficult to resist the other party's attack. Therefore, seeing that the girl took the initiative to choose the mouth-to-mouth mode, he was also happy to accompany her.
"is a question that takes the two things you value most in life and puts them on a scale. Then you ask yourself how much they weigh in your heart. Whichever is lighter, destroy it."
"So Uchiha Itachi, I want to ask, in your heart, is the village more important or the Uchiha clan more important?"
""Hmph" Uchiha Itachi snorted coldly."What kind of question is that? And am I not answering this question with my actions?"
""Okay, okay~" the girl soothed;
"Come on, why don't we play a simple quiz game? You may not know this now, but we used to like playing this kind of game very much."
"I ask you a question and you must answer it. After you answer it truthfully, you can ask me the same question and I must answer it according to the rules. Whoever fails to answer first loses. Isn't that fair?"
Miss Yang No, who had never played this kind of game with Itachi, felt the pleasure of playing a prank.
"Yes."
Uchiha Itachi said
"I choose Konoha Ninja Village"
"Very good." Yang No spread his hands."Now it's your turn to ask questions."
Seeing that the girl did not break her promise, Uchiha Itachi spoke;
"There are two choices. One choice is to lay down your weapons and leave the village, which will make the village better."
"The other option is to fight to the death. Even if you succeed in the end, it will cause great damage to the entire village. Which of these two options would you choose?"
"I will choose to take up arms, and then ask my enemies to lay down their weapons for the sake of the village and leave voluntarily, otherwise both sides will suffer."
Uchiha Yangno answered, this is the truth.
Uchiha Itachi frowned, this time it was the girl's turn to ask questions
"If, I mean if, our family's coup succeeds tonight, your father becomes the 5th Hokage, he chooses to forgive you and still wants you to be his successor, what will you choose? Or will you betray him like you did just now?"
Itachi's eyes really showed a trace of confusion at this moment, he was obviously thinking deeply about this problem.
Uchiha Yangno even doubted that if she launched a surprise attack now, there was a certain probability that she would succeed directly. But this was not in the girl's plan, she needed Itachi to be alive to do something, at least for now.
"I think, if that's the case, I will choose to leave the village. I never want to be a Hokage or the head of the Uchiha clan if this place really changes beyond recognition."
He then asked a new question without waiting for Yang No to answer.
"I know you once cast an illusion on me through my memory, but why did you ask me to pass on a piece of false information that basically no one would take seriously? Is it just to buy time for tonight's battle? Or do you have any other purpose?"
"To this question I can only answer, yes. I do have another purpose, but if you want to know what that purpose is, you need to spend another opportunity to ask a question."
"Now it's my turn. If Shimura Danzo or the 3rd Hokage asks you to commit suicide for the benefit of the village, and you know that your death can bring enough benefits to the village, will you do it?"
"Unless I can see the benefit with my own eyes, and it is big enough, I will wait and see. Next question."
He did not continue to ask, Uchiha Yangno could divert the topic once and continue to avoid talking about it. As long as it dragged on, he would have completed his task, so he asked a sharp question.
"When and how did you awaken your Mangekyō Sharingan?"
The girl shrugged and replied;
"A year ago, a close friend of mine from childhood died unexpectedly due to illness. I was grieving for a long time, and then I inexplicably awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
She said casually, and Uchiha Itachi did not believe that this was just an excuse made up casually, but he did not expose the girl's words, but only heard Yang No suddenly ask in a hurry;
"Uchiha Itachi! Which one is more important to you, Uchiha Sasuke or the Konoha Ninja Village?"
Dong dong dong~ This is the voice-over that the girl gave herself. Yes, after laying the groundwork for so long, she finally showed her true colors.
Silence, the only answer to the girl was a long silence. Itachi pursed his thin lips tightly, as if refusing to say the answer in his heart. But
Yang No sighed softly and said to him sincerely (fuck);
"In fact, I already knew it, Uchiha Itachi. To you, your beloved brother is the one you have to protect even if it means destroying this village or the entire family."
Itachi clenched his fists tightly and remained silent.
Only Yang No continued to speak;
"This is the deepest secret in your heart, a secret that even your family, parents, brothers, your superiors, the Third Generation and Danzo, and even Uchiha Sasuke himself do not know."
"Do you want to know why I know this secret?"
At this point she sighed again and made up a story with a somewhat regretful tone.
"Actually, you told me this yourself."
"What did you say?!"Itachi raised his head sharply, but this time he still did not dare to look into the girl's eyes, but kept his eyes on Yang No's chest. You will never look at me? This way, I can avoid seeing my eyes in the new memory. Itachi's combat awareness is really sharp, but it's good this way.
Yang No continued while thinking to himself;
"You heard it right, you told me this yourself.
Yang continued to make up stories.
"It's a pity that the memory has been sealed by your own illusion. Otherwise, if you could break the illusion now, you would immediately know the whole story.
Itachi sneered.
"I'm afraid this is your purpose? Do you think I will be so easily fooled by you?"
