"Am I dead? Satoru..."
Itachi didn't quite believe it, even though he heard a familiar voice. After all, he had been suffering from illness before, and after regaining feeling this time, his body had no pain. Moreover, his vision was completely dark.
"Of course not. Ichidaiichi-chan. The underworld is much more painful than this." Hatake Satoru seemed much more excited after Itachi regained basic consciousness.
Seeing Itachi wake up, Sasori drove Hatake Satoru out and began to examine Itachi. After half a day, it was basically determined that there were no major problems before Hatake Satoru was allowed to return to see Itachi.
As soon as they met, Itachi eagerly asked about his younger brother Sasuke's condition.
"How is he? Was he still there when you arrived at the scene?"
"Alright, alright, you really dote on your brother. Sasuke is fine. When I got there, he was almost uninjured, except for his Chakra being depleted." Hatake Satoru answered impatiently, seeing Itachi like this.
"You're already worried about your brother without even figuring out why you're not dead yet." Hatake Satoru voiced his inner complaint.
Itachi was indeed very curious why he wasn't dead. However, his plan was just to die in front of Sasuke, and this situation was indeed beyond his expectations.
But he also guessed why he lost his vision after being revived, as Zetsu was present at the time. No matter how fast Satoru was, it could only be after Zetsu notified Obito. At that time, his Sharingan would definitely have been taken back.
"You really didn't need to rush to save me." Although Itachi was grateful, he didn't express it in words.
"I had no choice. After all, I like you more than Sasuke! How about it? Do you want some sweet dumplings to boost your spirits after just waking up?"
After Itachi thought through these things, he learned from Hatake Satoru what had happened during the time between his death and resurrection. Although he had no interaction with Granny Chiyo, he still felt touched that she used the *Reanimation Justu* to save him.
"How many people know that I am still alive?"
Itachi asked Satoru. Obito must not know that he was still alive. Obito would definitely be suspicious after his body was lost.
"Don't worry, I thought of this the moment you died~."
Hatake Satoru answered truthfully. Although he usually appeared frivolous and unreliable, he could still make the most beneficial decisions for their side at critical moments. My sense of smell is very sharp in this regard.
After hearing this, Itachi felt relieved.
"When I just woke up, I touched a strange face. The eyelashes were long, and the eye shape was also unfamiliar. But I felt a sense of familiarity."
"Oh, stop it. Don't praise my eyes like that, and you even reached under my eye mask to touch them. You pervert."
Hatake Satoru's affected tone almost made Itachi leave this beautiful world again.
...
In the cave of the Eastern base of Akatsuki.
Sasuke was clearly much more energetic than before. Obito had not come to see him today. Sasuke walked directly out of the cave, curious about the abilities of the Mangekyo Sharingan his brother had left him.
There was a dead tree at the entrance of the cave. After Sasuke activated his Mangekyo, he used it as his guinea pig.
"Is it really the same as my brother's?"
When Obito returned to the cave entrance, the dead tree had already burned to ashes, leaving only some residual black flames flickering on the ground.
"You're full of spirit, but he's so impatient. His eyes will be blind soon." Obito walked into the cave and saw Sasuke putting on his clothes.
"Do you already have a plan?"
"I can't just stand by after knowing the truth and losing my last brother."
"I will definitely kill Danzo."
The Akatsuki organization had suffered many casualties in the process of capturing the Tailed Beasts, and very few were able to serve Obito now. They absolutely could not let Sasuke seek revenge; he had to be used for their own purposes.
"I will help you with Danzo, but you have to do something for me first." Obito confirmed his thoughts and began his mouth-skill persuasion on Sasuke.
"Danzo's Root, which he built with his own hands, is very troublesome. I can create an opportunity for you to fight Danzo alone for revenge. And you will help me capture Gyuki."
"What about the people I arranged to meet earlier?"
"Who? Karin and Jugo?"
Sasuke nodded coldly.
"They are still waiting for you at that place."
After Obito finished speaking, Sasuke put his Kusanagi sword at his waist. Without answering, he walked out of the cave.
"Zetsu will tell you Gyuki's whereabouts." Obito's following words made Sasuke stop.
"Are you sure I will help you?"
"You definitely will."
Sasuke returned to the vicinity of the Uchiha Clan's armory to find Karin and Jugo, and walked into the forest for a short distance. There was movement ahead, and Karin rushed over, shouting. After all, she was a sensory ninja, and she could detect it as soon as she got close.
"Sasuke!!" Karin rushed over to hug Sasuke but was pushed away.
Pushing people away on their first meeting, the cool Sasuke-kun is really irresistible, love it, love it.
Karin had a love-struck look on her face. No matter how many times she saw Sasuke, she was still not used to it. She always felt that the current team was completely incomparable to when she was with Itachi, but Nii-san already...
"If you hadn't come back, I would have thought you were dead, Sasuke."
"Jugo can't help at all, he's useless except for going berserk."
Listening to Karin's complaints, Sasuke fell into deep thought.
After losing his brother, his companions may only be them.
"Yo yo yo, you're very energetic, little Sasuke." A frivolous tone brought Sasuke back to reality.
This annoying guy is here again.
"How did you know I was here?"
Sasuke was a little surprised to see Hatake Satoru who suddenly appeared. First of all, how did he know, and why couldn't Karin sense anything before he came.
Maybe this is the benefit of not having Chakra.
"Because I watched you grow up from wearing open-crotch pants with Itachi together, oh ho ho."
Hatake Satoru looked at Karin and Jugo.
"How can you talk to Sasuke like that, pervert."
Karin scolded Hatake Satoru unhappily.
Hatake Satoru didn't react, turned around and asked Sasuke.
"What are your plans for the future? You won't directly attack Konoha village and kill that old man Danzo after your brother died, will you?"
"I'm not stupid enough to go and die myself."
Sasuke refuted Hatake Satoru's words.
"Oh? Are you going to help Obito collect the Tailed Beasts too?"
"How do you know these things?"
Sasuke always felt that Hatake Satoru knew more than he did, but this was too much.
"With just you guys alone, dealing with one Jinchuriki is probably as difficult as attacking Konoha."
Hatake Satoru curled his lips and became sarcastic.
Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan lit up.
"Oh? Are you really so sure?"
"That's why I don't like you, you're far from your brother."
