Chapter 118: Danzo is Out, So is Mizumi
Chapter 118: Danzo is Out, So is Mizumi
Three days later, it was the wedding day of Uchiha Mangetsu.
The village of Lock Port was filled with festive cheer.
Sasuke, who had been training diligently, hadn't forgotten about the promise he made. He arrived at the wedding venue on time, bearing the gift he had prepared beforehand.
Hayato Kon, who had been busy mastering his Mangekyo Sharingan and exploring new perspectives, took the time to attend the wedding as well. From a generational perspective, he should have referred to the bride as his grandmother—a wedding between a girl from the Hayato clan and Uchiha Mangetsu, devoid of any political implications, and solely driven by the sincere emotions between the couple.
"Grandfather, I never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be considered an elder."
Hayato Kon, who was younger than many present and maintained peak physical condition, felt a sense of emotion. After offering a toast to the newlyweds, he bid his farewells, aware that his presence might make others feel uncomfortable due to his identity.
Before leaving, Hayato Kon instructed Sasuke to prepare to leave the village in seven days.
Sasuke was taken aback but diligently began making preparations as instructed.
One week later.
Outside Hayato Kon's experimental base.
Sasuke, dressed for a long journey, stood patiently waiting at the door.
Soon, the gate opened.
To Sasuke's surprise, a man dressed in the same blue Uchiha kimono, with a white swirl mask covering his face, stepped out.
"Let's go."
A familiar voice, unmistakably Hayato Kon's, emanated from behind the white mask.
"Who are you?"
Instead of complying, Sasuke gripped his ninja sword, his expression grave as he eyed the stranger warily.
Despite the identical voice, Sasuke's instincts told him that the man before him was not the Hayato Kon he knew.
"You've noticed, haven't you? Seems like your training hasn't been for naught," the man said as he voluntarily removed his white mask, revealing a stranger's face.
"This is a special clone I created," he explained.
As he finished speaking, the real Hayato Kon appeared before Sasuke and said, "For the foreseeable future, he will be the one guiding you on your travels."
The man with the white swirl mask was indeed a Yin-attribute White Zetsu clone crafted by Hayato Kon.
With the Spirit Transformation: Projection Technique, Hayato Kon could effortlessly control both his body and the White Zetsu clone, swapping between the two as needed. For this distant journey, he chose to send his White Zetsu clone.
Continuous battles, rather than solitary training, would accelerate the research and analysis of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Seeing the real Hayato Kon relieved Sasuke, and he loosened his grip on the sword hilt.
However, as he took a closer look at the face of the White Zetsu clone, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Sharingan!!!"
Sasuke froze as he recognized the all-too-familiar crimson color in the clone's right eye socket, unsure why the Uchiha clan's Sharingan was present in Hayato Kon's clone.
Then, upon noticing that the Sharingan in question bore not the usual three tomoe but a pattern resembling a black blade, Sasuke's pupils constricted further.
Unlike before, Sasuke, now well-versed in Uchiha teachings, clearly understood the significance of such a pattern.
"Mangekyo Sharingan!!!!"
It was the Mangekyo Sharingan, akin to that of Uchiha Itachi!
Sasuke could never have imagined that he would witness the Mangekyo Sharingan, the pinnacle pursuit of countless Uchiha clan members, here of all places, and on Hayato Kon's clone, no less.
"This is Uchiha Izuna's Mangekyo Sharingan," Hayato Kon stated nonchalantly.
He had never intended to keep it a secret, which was why he had removed the mask earlier.
"Uchiha Itachi?"
Sasuke had heard others mention this clan member, but he didn't know much about him.
"See for yourself."
Words could never be as impactful as a visual image.
Yuyi Xuan Yue manipulated the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the black pattern on it swiftly shifted.
In an instant, Sasuke felt as if the world had turned upside down.
When he blinked and looked forward again, Yuyi Xuan Yue was no longer there.
Instead, he saw a young Uchiha ninja confronting an elderly man and a group of apparent Konoha ANBU ninjas.
"I actually fell for an illusion?"
Sasuke was surprised that he, with his three-tomoe Sharingan, had so easily fallen prey to a genjutsu.
He didn't have time to think further as the battle between the Uchiha ninja and the Konoha ninjas had already begun.
"Uchiha Itachi!" the elderly man, leading the Konoha ninjas, shouted as he called out the name of the Uchiha ninja.
"So that's Uchiha Itachi?"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he focused his attention on the scene.
Reality.
Watching Sasuke fall for the genjutsu with just a glance, Yuyi Xuan Yue was still surprised by the power of Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, despite having anticipated this outcome to some extent.
The Divine Power was still cooling down.
For now, even an ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan genjutsu held such power.
No wonder during the Third Great Ninja War, the Kirigakure ninjas never even caught a glimpse of Uchiha Itachi before falling one by one to his genjutsu.
Even during the Warring States period, no member of the Uchiha clan had developed the Sharingan's genjutsu to this extent.
Among the Mangekyo Sharingan wielders, neither Uchiha Madara nor Uchiha Izuna had achieved this level of mastery.
"Konoha's Uchiha clan has produced quite a few talented individuals. It's a shame that some of them lack the necessary ruthlessness, while others take it too far."
Yuyi Xuan Yue shook his head slightly and dispelled the genjutsu.
Sasuke immediately snapped back to reality.
Realizing what had happened, he asked with a hint of resentment, "Lord Yuyi, who was that old man?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue showed Sasuke the scene of Danzo stealing the eye.
There were some discrepancies from what actually happened, as Yuyi Xuan Yue hadn't witnessed the event himself.
However, the simulation had reconstructed the truth to a large extent.
"Danzo, the Elder Consultant of Konoha."
Yuyi Xuan Yue's clone put the mask back on and replied indifferently.
"I will definitely kill him!" Sasuke said, his eyes turning cold.
"There's no need. I've already taken care of it for you. Otherwise, where do you think this Sharingan came from?"
". " Sasuke's expression froze as he realized he hadn't even considered this.
"Let's go," said Yuyi Xuan Yue as he started walking out of the village.
As for his main body, it remained in the experimental base, continuing various research projects.
Sasuke glanced at the slowly closing door of the experimental base and hurriedly followed the somewhat unfamiliar other body of Yuyi Xuan Yue, asking curiously, "Lord Yuyi, where are we going?"
"The Land of Fire," Yuyi Xuan Yue replied casually.
"Konoha?"
"The Land of Fire is vast. Of course, if you happen to encounter your old friends along the way, feel free to stop and greet them."
"No need. I have no interest in them."
"Is that so."
