Chapter 603: The Despicable Leader Nagato
The stares of everyone made Edo Itachi feel as if thorns were pricking him, his heart skipping a beat.
Unconsciously, he even began to doubt himself—had he really done it?
Clearly, though he always leaned toward Konoha and had intentions of stabbing Akatsuki in the back, due to the actual circumstances, he hadn’t taken any concrete actions from start to finish.
How could he have secretly sent information to Naruto through a dream?
This was blatant slander! Utter defamation!
"It wasn’t me."
Itachi responded coldly, his heart calm.
He hadn’t done it, and he wouldn’t be anyone’s scapegoat again!
However, given the stereotypical impression he’d left on everyone before, almost no one at the scene believed his explanation.
Even Sasuke, who trusted him, couldn’t help but harbor doubts.
Sasuke didn’t deny his brother’s love for him, but he knew better that his brother was a master actor—otherwise, he wouldn’t have been deceived for years.
