The Uchiha clan is not innocent.

Whether it is Uchiha Obito or Uchiha Madara, neither can erase the mark of their family.

"That's impossible. At that time, the Uchiha clan should not have the Mangekyō Sharingan that can control the tailed beasts."

Mizuki's words were beyond Uchiha Sasuke's expectations.

“There is nothing absolutely impossible in this world.”

Mizuki waved his hand to stop Uchiha Sasuke from making excuses.

"Who is this person?"

If it was a frame-up by an outsider, Sasuke would feel better.

In this matter, Sasuke believed that Teacher Mizuki would not lie.

"In the Akatsuki organization, there is a middle-aged man wearing a whirlpool mask, possessing extremely advanced fire-style ninjutsu, and possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan. He calls himself Uchiha Madara, and he is the murderer who caused this consequence."

"Uchiha Madara should have died long ago. That person must have been an imposter..."

"Your reasoning was not very rigorous, but the result was correct. That person was not Uchiha Madara. It was him who attacked Uzumaki Kushina who was giving birth, released the Nine-Tails and controlled it. As for who this person is? It's up to you to confirm it!"

"Okay."

Although we didn't get the murderer's name, it didn't make much difference knowing who it was.

As long as we kill the murderer, we will naturally know who he is.

"Thank you, Mr. Mizuki, for clearing up my confusion! I also want to know the specific details about Uchiha Itachi. What was the agreement between him, the Third Hokage, and the village leaders?"

"You ask this kind of question, do you really think I know everything?"

Shuimu sneered.

"Only the parties involved know this kind of secret. What I can tell you is that you should have been eliminated. After all, you have already torn your faces apart and fought each other, and there is no room for maneuver. Ninjas are not soft-hearted people, and they still understand the principle of cutting the grass and eradicating it. But Uchiha Itachi came to negotiate with the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen as an undercover agent in the Akatsuki organization, so you are what you are now."

The situation is already very clear. Itachi Uchiha's stigma of being a traitor is actually just the result of the village's mission requirements.

But the reality is so cruel. It is impossible to make the truth of these things public.

Sasuke fought back the tears in his eyes and maintained a calm appearance.

But his trembling hands and lips still showed his excitement.

"So that's how it is! Is it because I'm too weak that I don't even have the qualifications to know the truth?"

Sasuke muttered to himself as he recalled every detail of the past. Countless memories flooded into his mind, and many inconsistencies that had been ignored before finally had answers.

After a long while, Sasuke, who had managed to regain his composure, asked softly:

"Does Mizuki-sensei also think that the Uchiha family has brought this upon themselves?"

As a member of the Uchiha clan, his stance is inconsistent with the justice of Konoha Village in many things.

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi chose to be loyal to the village; Uchiha Fugaku, as the clan leader, chose to remain strictly neutral; but the other Uchiha clan members stood on the side of family interests without hesitation.

What choice should Uchiha Sasuke make? Having just accepted this shocking fact, he has not yet made up his mind.

Shuimu shook his head and said calmly:

"The Uchiha family actually has no stake in me. As long as it doesn't cause me trouble, I have no opinion. You asked the wrong person this question!"

"Really? I'm sorry!"

This is a very subjective view, so of course you have to make your own decision.

References provided by others are of little value.

"But the Sandaime who knew the truth is already dead. Should I go to the Pure Land to question him?"

Mizuki said to Sasuke meaningfully:

"If you go to the Pure Land, you probably won't be able to see the Sandaime Hokage..."

The four former Hokage are all in the belly of the Grim Reaper, so if you want to ask, you might as well ask Mizuki.

"Besides, the object of your resentment may be the wrong person. How could the good-natured Sandaime be planning to exterminate the Uchiha clan? In fact, the Sandaime has been trying to ease the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan. But unfortunately, some people do not think so. Instead, they regard the Uchiha clan as the biggest threat and want to eliminate the hidden dangers in this village at all times."

"Mr. Mizuki said that these are the people who fueled the situation, right?"

"Almost. I'm sure you've noticed the target. Yes, it's the Root organization headed by Shimura Danzo. They were the ones who killed the Uchiha clan."

Danzo Shimura, who was deeply influenced by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, has always viewed all threats in the village with suspicion.

The Uchiha family, which is not clean itself, naturally became the focus of their attention.

"This person is the one who presided over the demise of the Uchiha clan, right?"

Mizuki confirmed Uchiha Sasuke's guess.

"There were several opportunities to temporarily ease the relationship, but they were all ruined by Shimura Danzo."

Uchiha Shisui's strongest illusion, Kotoamatsukami, is the last chance to stop the war.

Although Shuimu did not think that the false peace created by illusion could last long, it could at least postpone the problem temporarily and wait for the opportunity.

"So that's what's going on. No wonder Shimura Danzo treated me so strangely."

If the two were enemies, there would be an explanation for why they had been targeted in the past.

"No wonder you need to possess the Mangekyō Sharingan to know the truth. Otherwise, I would have been killed as a threat with my face full of resentment."

"This is the truth you wanted. Are you satisfied now?"

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

"If possible, I would like to ask Shimura Danzo in person. Also, if I kill Shimura Danzo, will I become a traitor?"

"It's up to you. There are so many traitorous ninjas in the ninja world, and we don't need you. I've disliked that old guy for a long time. If he wasn't lucky, I would have killed him two years ago!"

"As expected, Mr. Mizuki has no respect for the village at all."

"I am the deputy chief of the Security Department. You are so bold as to say in front of me that you want to become a rebel ninja. You are really brave."

"You should have said that before you spoke ill of Elder Danzo Shimura. I envy you for being able to live your life as you please!"

"Because I'm strong enough, no one in the village wants to mess with me."

Shuimu looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he decided to call it a day.

"Think carefully about what to do next."

He received a lot of shocking facts today, which overturned many of Sasuke's previous cognitions. No matter the village or the family, they are no longer as black and white as before. What determines the actions and destiny of a ninja is his own position and choice!
