Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Itachi's Transcription Seal
After leaving the Hokage's office, Akira first made his way to Konoha's hospital to check on Hinata.
Hinata's body was still feverish, but her spirit seemed slightly better than before. Her chakra reserves had also significantly increased.
Akira spent some time talking with her, sharing how much he had missed her during the past half month of separation.
Of course, during their conversation, Akira subtly brought up the incident regarding Toneri Otsutsuki's attack on Konoha.
Hinata only knew that a powerful enemy had attacked the village, but she was unaware of who it was or why they had come.
This was something that Akira found quite satisfactory. She didn't know that Toneri had come specifically for her, and that was a relief.
In fact, perhaps only two people in the entire Leaf Village-Sasuke and Fugaku-knew the true reason behind Toneri's attack.
Fugaku knew because Akira had confided the truth in him.
As for Sasuke, he knew because, in his timeline, he had already experienced Toneri's attempt to kidnap Hinata.
However, neither of them had told Hinata the reason behind the attack.
After spending some time at the hospital, Akira returned to the clan compound by evening. Konan had been staying at the house quietly without causing any commotion.
After being away from home for over two weeks, Akira took the time to catch up with his grandfather as well.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
At fifteen years old, Akira listened as his grandfather spoke about how his health had been declining recently.
Akira accompanied his grandfather for several laps around the compound, allowing the elderly man to stretch his legs a bit.
Chakra is a fusion of spiritual energy and physical vitality, and as one ages, both the body and mind inevitably weaken.
In the original story, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, had also experienced a decline in strength as he grew older, and it was evident that Akira's grandfather was no different.
After a long walk and some heartfelt conversation, Akira returned to the clan compound with his grandfather once night had fallen.
Once home, Akira sought out Sasuke to ask him about Toneri's attack.
In fact, the moment Toneri Otsutsuki attacked Konoha, Sasuke had immediately sensed his presence.
After all, Sasuke's primary purpose in staying in this timeline was to guard against an attack by Urashiki Otsutsuki.
Thus, Sasuke had raised Konoha's defense to a level meant to counter super-kage-level threats.
The battle between Sasuke and Toneri was intense, but Sasuke's Rinnegan proved powerful. In the end, since Toneri had not activated his Tenseigan, he was no match for Sasuke and was ultimately driven away.
"That's the gist of what happened," Sasuke concluded, summarizing the incident involving Toneri's attack for Akira.
Akira nodded approvingly, acknowledging Sasuke's success in repelling Toneri.
"By the way, how did your mission to attack the Akatsuki go?" After wrapping up the discussion on Toneri, Sasuke inquired about the mission against the Akatsuki.
He knew that the current timeline was different from his own and was curious whether Konoha's current strength was enough to take on the Akatsuki alone.
Akira didn't hold back, briefly explaining the mission to Sasuke.
As these memories surfaced, Sasuke's own childhood recollections began to become clearer. Indeed, long ago, before the Uchiha rose to power, his fellow clan members had not been on good terms with the villagers.
The Uchiha were arrogant, considering themselves superior to everyone else.
At the time, Sasuke was only six or seven years old, so many of these events had been vague
and abstract to him.
Now, revisiting those moments through Itachi's memories, the fifteen-year-old Sasuke saw things clearly-the relationship between the Uchiha and the rest of Konoha was indeed
fragile and volatile.
Borrowing Itachi's perspective, Sasuke could see even deeper. More and more members of the
Uchiha were secretly planning a coup.
Itachi, at that time, was playing the role of a double agent, walking a dangerous path between
the Uchiha clan and Konoha's leadership.
The Uchiha wanted Itachi to monitor the village's leadership from within the Anbu.
Similarly, the village elders wanted Itachi to keep an eye on the Uchiha's movements.
Caught between the village and his clan, Itachi endured unimaginable torment. Throughout these visions, Sasuke noticed Itachi gradually becoming aware of Akira's
existence.
Akira's talent had naturally attracted Itachi's attention.
Initially, it was because Akira was Shisui's disciple.
But over the course of just one year, Akira went from unlocking the Sharingan after a fall to
passing the graduation exam on his very first day at the Academy. This caught Itachi's eye, and he began to pay more and more attention to Akira.
Amid the clan's growing calls for a coup, Itachi and Shisui often discussed how best to prevent
an internal conflict between the village and the Uchiha.
And then, things finally took a turn.
One day, while Itachi was home, he heard Akira calling for help. The message was simple:
Shisui was in danger.
Upon hearing that Shisui was in trouble, Itachi immediately followed Akira.
They quickly found Shisui, who was indeed in a fight against members of Danzo's Root.
More importantly, one of Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan had been taken by Danzo. Through the genjutsu, Sasuke was now able to witness these events from Itachi's perspective
for the first time.
