Chapter 290: 283: Uchiha Night (1)
"You are ten minutes late today. What happened, Itachi?"
Arriving at Root's surveillance room, a Root nin inquired of Itachi.
Wearing a mask, Itachi remained silent in response to the Root ninja's question. Despite his best efforts to restrain his anger, the desire to kill the Root ninja in front of him lingered.
However, such an act would be meaningless. The one responsible for attacking Shisui was Danzo, and these Root ninjas no longer had their will, they were mere puppets following Danzo's orders.
Killing them would not provide the satisfaction of revenge.
Moreover, succumbing to senseless hatred would only distance him further and further from his ideals. Shisui wouldn't want him to live a life consumed by hatred and pain.
Bearing Shisui's will, envision the long path ahead, live strong and brave, and not give in to revenge.
Killing a hypocritical and cunning figure like Danzo would complicate Itachi's existence in Konoha and tarnish the clan's reputation. Such an outcome needed be avoided at all cost.
"It's nothing. I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable."
