Chapter 555: Please Deliver My Message
Naruto didn’t quite understand the conversation between the resurrected Itachi and the others. Regarding genjutsu, Naruto himself only had a vague understanding—it wasn’t really his area of expertise.
But about Sasuke’s situation, he understood more or less.
"So, Sasuke is safe now? Where is he? I have to find him and bring him back to the village!"
Naruto looked at Nagato. He could see that the boss on the opposing side was still Nagato-senpai, so he hurriedly asked.
"Sorry, I can’t grant your request. Naruto, you can’t take Sasuke away."
Nagato refused directly.
Besides the fact that he himself didn’t have a good impression of Konoha, if Sasuke really returned to Konoha, how could he control Itachi?
Later, even if Itachi was forced to stay, he would only be ’physically there, but his heart elsewhere’.
If that happened, Nagato would be sadly forced to ’eliminate’ this key member. So it was better to prevent that scenario from happening.
Of course, if Sasuke himself wanted to return to Konoha, Nagato wouldn’t stop him either.
It was just that Sasuke now was probably the person who most wanted to destroy Konoha in the entire world...
