Chapter 147 - The Intention Was Good

"Swish swish swish! Swish swish swish!"

Inside Sasuke's house, Byakuya's brush danced wildly. Controlling dozens of pens at once, he swept across the room, writing at an incredible pace.

Each time he finished a page, he tossed it aside. Sasuke had to scramble to pick them up and read, yet even the reading speed of a Uchiha couldn't keep up with Byakuya's typing speed.

"Done! Time to celebrate!"

After a long while, Byakuya tapped the stack of manuscripts with satisfaction. In just a few hours, he had copied the entire Naruto story into novel form.

During this time, Sasuke skimmed ten lines at a glance, specifically chasing down the parts about himself — and he also read the sections concerning his brother.

"Uchiha Itachi… he really…"Sasuke trembled as he held a page containing Obito's explanation.

"That's right. He wiped out your entire clan to protect the Leaf, then ran off as a rogue ninja," Byakuya said lightly. "So how do you feel now?"

"What he did was absolutely insane, but he truly cared about you. He even accepted your parents' deaths, yet still insisted on leaving you alive."

"Now that you know the truth, aren't you feeling emotional? Maybe thinking about forgiving him?"Byakuya asked, every word aimed straight at the heart.

"How could I possibly forgive him?!"Sasuke gritted his teeth, shaking violently as he clutched the manuscript pages.

"Mom and Dad both died because of him! He used his own death to atone — that's nowhere near enough!"

"Being stubborn won't help. I know your heart is wavering. After all, in the original story, you forgave him in the end," Byakuya said with a bright smile.

"Think it over carefully. Don't regret your decision later."

Family matters are the hardest to judge fairly.From an outsider's perspective, Itachi was certainly monstrous.But for a 12-year-old Sasuke, whose beloved older brother had a broken brain, massacred the clan, yet truly loved him… anyone would break down.

Of course, saying "the entire Uchiha clan was full of lunatics" isn't wrong either.

According to Itachi Shinden, Fugaku also had a Mangekyō. On the night of the massacre, the Uchiha's elite plus two and a half pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, plus the Nine Tails under Mangekyō control…

Given Konoha's "two cats and one dog" combat power at the time, even if they couldn't start a full rebellion, they could've at least escaped the village and saved the clan.

Not to mention: with Obito's hatred toward the Leaf, if Itachi had simply asked, Obito would have happily watched Konoha burn — maybe even helped.

A situation that should've been a 50–50 fight (maybe even 20–80) was turned into a complete disaster by sheer stupidity.

Fugaku saw his son and chose suicide instead of resistance.Obito was originally going to leave, yet Itachi personally invited him to help kill their own clan.Truly legendary bad decisions.

Sasuke stared at the manuscript in silence, torn apart inside. After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said:

"No matter what happens with Uchiha Itachi… Konoha must be destroyed!"

"Oh? Really? If you destroy Konoha, your friends there will be heartbroken — maybe even hate you," Byakuya added, stabbing again.This silenced Sasuke once more.

So this is what 'bonds' are…Byakuya sighed inwardly at Sasuke's expression.

These messy, tangled, family-like ties — the kind that can't be cut cleanly — always slow your steps and weaken your killing intent.

Byakuya shook the manuscript."Think it over. I'm heading out for now."

"Where are you going?" Sasuke looked up.

"To spread this manuscript, of course."Byakuya activated Hollowfication, slowly phasing down through the floor.

Right now, the official matches were only one month away. For the whole continent to read this book in such a short time would be tight…

Half a day later, Kakashi arrived and asked Sasuke,"Sasuke, where's Byakuya from yesterday?"

Suppressing all his questions, Sasuke answered,"He went back. He said he'd return in a month to watch the finals. Why?"

"Based on our investigation, his identity may be fake. No emperor in any nation looks like that."

Kakashi said this, then gave Sasuke a meaningful glance."If you see him again, be sure to notify us."

Sasuke nodded.Kakashi hesitated, then said,"There's still a month before the final rounds. I'll teach you one of my personal techniques."

Chidori, huh…Sasuke thought, then nodded slightly.No matter what he chooses in the future, getting stronger is never wrong.

Meanwhile, Byakuya traveled across the Five Great Nations alone. Through threats and "persuasion," he successfully convinced publishing houses to print the entire book without revealing his face — and sell it publicly.

After finishing this, he returned to Marvel, intending to let public opinion simmer a bit, giving the Naruto natives and reincarnators a little "story shock."

In New York, inside the White House, as Byakuya's figure appeared, Kingpin and the others immediately stood up.

"Mr. Byakuya, your phone."Kingpin respectfully presented a simple white box containing the new device — a 1:1 replica of the phone Byakuya had destroyed earlier.

Taking the phone, Byakuya looked toward Rodrigues."Kingpin said you had a surprise for me?"

"Well, it's like this…" Rodrigues explained slowly. "This happened… and then that…"

"Hm?"After hearing the plan, Byakuya frowned."So this was your own decision?"

Rodrigues didn't even dare breathe loudly."Please forgive me, Mr. Byakuya. My intentions were good."

"But the outcome was bad. You overstepped. Make sure it doesn't happen again."Byakuya tapped the table lightly, smiling a little.

"Yes, yes, of course."Rodrigues bowed repeatedly.

"Stop flattering him — he's already gone."Stark commented. Sure enough, the seat was empty; Byakuya had disappeared.

Outside the White House, Byakuya lifted the phone and dialed a familiar number.After a few rings, the call connected.

"It's me, Byakuya."He smiled. "Things have been hectic. I only have time to call you now. You're not mad, right?"

"It's fine. My life's been pretty chaotic lately too."A pleasant female voice answered, tinged with weariness.

"Since it's the weekend, how about I take you out? Stay home — I'll pick you up," Byakuya said.

"…Okay."Gwen hesitated, then agreed.

Hanging up the phone gently, Byakuya smirked with satisfaction.

Rodrigues really did well.If he wanted something… nothing could escape the palm of his hand.
