Chapter 191: A Battle to the Death?
Chapter 191: A Battle to the Death?
"Lord Hagoromo!"
Finally noticing Hagoromo Gengetsu's arrival, the Uchiha clan members present, including Sasuke, Izumi, and Hydro, respectfully bowed. They were grateful for Hagoromo's help, knowing that without him, they would still be hiding in the depths of the Uchiha district, merely surviving instead of standing on Uchiha land, seeking vengeance before their clan's gravestones.
Sasuke, with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, did not look up at the sky in awe like some of the others.
Hagoromo casually waved his hand and briefly said, "Mission accomplished. Prepare to return."
"Yes!"
The Uchiha ninjas responded promptly.
Sasuke glanced at Itachi's body on the ground, his eyes shimmering with complex emotions.
Hagoromo instructed Sasuke, "Take Itachi Uchiha's body with you. His Mangekyou Sharingan eyes will be yours from now on."
Sasuke silently nodded in agreement. In the end, he would be the one to possess both pairs of his brother's eyes.
'Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the pinnacle of the Sharingan... This was what you, Itachi, relentlessly pursued,' Sasuke thought as he looked at Itachi's peaceful face, his eyes forever closed. Sasuke reached out and pulled out a sealing scroll, placing Itachi's body inside and sealing it away.
Hagoromo and his group were about to leave when they heard the sound of rushing wind approaching from outside the Namika Shrine.
It was the Leaf ninjas, having dealt with Hagoromo's senjutsu and now rushing to the scene.
As they flipped over the rubble and finally appeared before the true owners of the land, they were greeted by a sea of Sharingan eyes, each pair more unnerving than the last.
"Sharingan! They all have Sharingan!"
A Leaf ninja exclaimed in excitement, only to realize soon after that the eyes that once brought him a sense of security as a teammate, despite the arrogance of their owner, were now staring at him from the enemy's side.
'Why did it come to this?' he wondered, confused and unable to make sense of the situation.
Even if he asked, no one would answer, as the truth involved the higher-ups of Konoha.
Tsunade, who had previously summoned Katsuyu and divided her into hundreds of parts to provide protection and healing for the Leaf ninjas, thus avoiding any casualties, now carefully examined the group led by Hagoromo.
"As expected! They were all once members of the Uchiha clan. However, they were all marked as deceased before the night of the Uchiha massacre."
As the Hokage, the highest leader of Konoha, Tsunade had specifically looked into the personnel files of the Uchiha clan after learning about Hydro and Izumi's names from Yamato.
She quickly recognized all the Uchiha members present and their past as registered ninjas of Konoha.
"They all have three tomoe in their Sharingan, just like Itachi Uchiha, and there are even three of them with Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Jiraiya, standing beside her, had a grave expression on his face as he scanned the crowd, his gaze finally resting on the sealing scroll that Sasuke had just put away.
There was no need to guess; Itachi Uchiha's body was sealed inside.
"Itachi Uchiha, who had been a part of Akatsuki for so many years, was defeated by Sasuke and his companions..."
Jiraiya felt a headache coming on.
Despite the numerical advantage of the Leaf ninjas, he knew that it was still not enough, and the situation was far from ideal.
Even if they sent for reinforcements, the outcome would not be favorable.
"Sasuke!!!"
With Naruto absent, Sakura could only take on the role of appealing to Sasuke's better nature. Seeing Sasuke once again, she couldn't help but call out to him.
To her surprise, Sasuke, who usually ignored her, actually looked her way and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Happiness came to her so suddenly.
Kakashi, standing beside her, was not as naive.
The first thing he noticed was Sasuke's Sharingan, which was completely different from the ones he had seen before.
"A Mangekyo Sharingan," Kakashi mused, thinking of his own left eye.
After two years of training, the Sharingan eye that once belonged to Obito had now evolved into a Mangekyo Sharingan. (In fact, it was just a reactivation of the Mangekyo Sharingan that had evolved long ago.) Kakashi, all too familiar with the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, could imagine the kind of power that would be unleashed with a pair of them.
However, it wasn't just Sasuke; Izumi and Hydro from the Uchiha clan, whom Yamato had mentioned earlier, had also unlocked their Mangekyo Sharingan.
In addition, there were over a dozen three-tomoe Sharingan ninjas, each stronger than a typical Jonin.
And most importantly, Yuhi Xuan Yue, whose brilliance could not be overshadowed even by twice the number of Mangekyo Sharingan users.
With such a lineup, aside from wondering if they could be defeated, Kakashi feared that if a real battle broke out, the entire Konoha village would be reduced to rubble.
Thinking of this, Kakashi quickly glanced at Tsunade.
As the Hokage, she seemed to have come to the same realization, and at the moment, she looked conflicted.
On the other side, Yuhi Xuan Yue, the only one among them without a care in the world, scanned the group from Konoha, noting that their numbers hadn't decreased much.
"Not bad," Yuhi Xuan Yue said with satisfaction.
After all, these people were his future sources of medicine, and their growth pleased him.
It was worth noting that while the planet currently could only accommodate one or two Kekkei Genkai users, the total chakra on the planet was steadily increasing.
Initially, when the God Tree descended and Kaguya Otsutsuki consumed the chakra fruit, becoming the progenitor of chakra, the total amount of chakra remained constant.
However, as Ninshu spread and more ninjas learned to cultivate chakra, the total chakra on the planet began to increase slowly.
Yuhi Xuan Yue hoped to see this trend continue and even accelerate. He even considered spreading a "divine cultivation manual" throughout the ninja world, allowing everyone to cultivate "internal energy" and produce large amounts of chakra, thus increasing his chances of success when he truly needed chakra.
However, chakra cultivation also depended on one's talent. Some people, no matter what methods they used, were unable to cultivate chakra. And even if they did, their limited talent resulted in a meager amount of chakra.
Yuhi Xuan Yue's grand plan of conquering the world could only be a pipe dream.
For now, he could only rely on the ninjas of the ninja world.
Seeing that Tsunade and the others were merely surrounding them and hesitating to make a move, Yuhi Xuan Yue, standing on the small hill where the Namika Shrine was located, looked down at the bustling village center in the distance and understood their hesitation.
He turned to Tsunade and said with a faint smile, "The Uchiha clan's revenge has been fulfilled. We won't disturb Konoha any further."
With that, Yuhi Xuan Yue waved his hand and began to descend the hill.
Without a moment's hesitation, the Uchiha clan followed suit.
"Hokage-sama," some Konoha ninjas standing in their path called out, unsure what to do next.
But before Tsunade could respond, Yuhi Xuan Yue calmly swept his gaze over them, causing them to involuntarily dodge to the side.
A clear path was formed, unobstructed by any obstacles.
