Uchiha Itachi's analysis wasn't wrong.
The only thing he didn't clearly analyze was that Uehara Naraku's goal wasn't to obtain Kotoamatsukami, but to completely destroy the two Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan.
Uehara Naraku's power will undoubtedly continue to grow, and sooner or later, there will be no one in the ninja world who can match him, so Uehara doesn't want such a dangerous ability to exist in the ninja world.
Moreover, Uehara Naraku has always wanted to use Uchiha Sasuke as a tool to provide progress in the main storyline. No matter what, he has to use Sasuke for a period of time, right? How could he let Sasuke be arranged by Uchiha Itachi!
Only the true mastermind in the ninja world can control fate.
This mastermind can only be Uehara Naraku himself.
Uchiha Itachi glanced at Uehara Naraku, who was lightly applauding, with eyes slightly dim: "I have to say, I'm really curious about your intelligence channels. Unfortunately, the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan has long been destroyed by me..."
"Then there's nothing we can do."
Uehara Naraku clapped his hands at everyone, smiling lightly: "Hey, everyone, since Mr. Itachi has already destroyed that Kotoamatsukami Sharingan, do you think there's any meaning in keeping Uchiha Sasuke?"
"Ho ho ho ho..."
Uchiha Obito's sinister laughter echoed in everyone's ears as he spoke coldly, "Of course, there is no meaning! This place is not an orphanage or a shelter!"
"Insulting an orphanage isn't very nice, is it?"
Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses up and refuted Uchiha Obito, then looked up at Uchiha Itachi and laughed lightly: "Perhaps there's something you don't know. Your Mangekyo Sharingan is in my hands, and Sasuke is waiting for me to help him transplant it!"
After finishing, Yakushi Kabuto took out a small bottle containing two eyes from his pocket and slowly shook it at Uchiha Itachi.
Yakushi Kabuto's action was like shaking a potion.
A potion strong enough to break through the defenses of Uchiha Itachi's heart.
Uchiha Itachi's expression instantly soured; in there were the Mangekyo Sharingan he left behind, the power that would allow Uchiha Sasuke to stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world in the future!
What on earth is going on with his brother?
Uchiha Itachi frowned and said in a deep voice: "So, it was you who took my Sharingan and lured Sasuke to your side?"
"No, how should I put it?"
Hoshigaki Kisame rubbed his brow and looked at Uchiha Itachi: "Mr. Itachi's brother is a bit...abnormal. After Mr. Itachi died, Sasuke entrusted everything about his future to us."
"And at that time..."
Yakushi Kabuto had a faint smile, tinged with extreme confidence: "It was just a few hours after Mr. Itachi's death, we didn't even have to persuade much, and Uchiha Sasuke decided to join us to destroy Konoha."
"Hey, Kabuto, I did try to talk him out of it for a few hours!"
Uehara Naraku frowned and retorted to Yakushi Kabuto, then turned to Uchiha Itachi and smiled lightly: "It's a pity, I kept trying to persuade him to return to Konoha to be a ninja, but Sasuke insisted on joining us..."
Uehara Naraku's smile gradually turned proud: "He was like a homeless orphan looking for a place to belong, unwilling to leave, desperately wanting to follow us, to inherit your so-called last wishes and destroy this decaying world with us."
Yakushi Kabuto: "..."
Hoshigaki Kisame: "..."
Doesn't Lord Naraku understand why little Uchiha Sasuke is unwilling to leave?
With your methods, no one in the ninja world can escape!
Uehara Naraku's efforts to persuade Sasuke made even someone as insightful as Hoshigaki Kisame doubt reality, while Yakushi Kabuto, a renowned spy, had never seen such a bizarre maneuver.
Listening to Uehara Naraku's words, Uchiha Itachi's expression darkened further. What on earth is going on with his brother? Why would he trust this group!
And why entrust such crucial eyes to others for safekeeping!
If he could, Uchiha Itachi really wanted to rush over and snatch the eyes back, but unfortunately, his body was being controlled by Yakushi Kabuto, making it impossible to move.
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but long for the Kotoamatsukami he had hidden within Naruto's belly. If he had Kotoamatsukami now to alter his will, perhaps he could break free and make a desperate move.
Unfortunately, that Kotoamatsukami isn't here!
Uehara Naraku, noticing Uchiha Itachi's expression, suddenly said, "Mr. Itachi, don't bottle up your concerns. If there's anything troubling you, speak up. Maybe others have encountered worse situations than yours?"
Uehara Naraku pointed his finger at himself with a light smile: "Like when I was on the way here, I felt terrible, but after seeing you, I feel much better..."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi remained calm.
Compared to the helpless and astonished expressions on others' faces, Uchiha Itachi's face remained expressionless.
Finding it pointless to argue with Uehara Naraku's mockery.
Now, he needed to gather intelligence!
As long as he gathered enough intelligence, Uchiha Itachi believed he could find an opportunity to turn things around. Perhaps he could persuade these people to genuinely accept Sasuke?
If they realize the benefits Sasuke's power can bring them, it could be an opportunity to turn the tables. Therefore, Uchiha thought he must first find a way for Sasuke to gain the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
