Chapter 198: Sharingan, A Goal to Strive For!
Chapter 198: Sharingan, A Goal to Strive For!
To have survived all the way to the Boruto era, one could only imagine the self-preservation skills of the two elders, Mito Menyan and Transleep Koiharu.
Feather-Clad Genesis had experienced this firsthand.
When he was in Konoha earlier, he had sought out the duo during his free time.
Yet, despite the huge commotion in the village, they failed to show themselves, and he had no idea where they were hiding.
One could only commend their mastery of "qi cultivation."
"Mito Menyan. Transleep Koiharu," Sasuke muttered to himself.
From Feather-Clad Genesis's narrative, he was more inclined to seek out the two masterminds behind the Uchiha clan's annihilation—the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura.
Unfortunately, Danzo Shimura had already perished at the hands of Lord Feather-Clad.
As for the other conspirator, the Third Hokage, who had died even earlier...
Sasuke's eyes turned cold as he recalled the benevolent face of the Third Hokage, who often visited him in his loneliness during his childhood.
What should have been fond memories now evoked nothing but disgust.
It was the Third Hokage who ultimately decided on the extermination of the Uchiha clan.
Sasuke's survival was due to Uchiha Itachi volunteering to be the executioner in exchange for Sasuke's life; it was never out of the Third Hokage's compassion.
This mastermind behind the Uchiha clan's massacre had feigned ignorance after the fateful night, donning a facade of kindness as he occasionally offered Sasuke warmth and encouragement.
Did he not feel any disgust towards his own hypocritical behavior? Sasuke wondered. Thinking back to his emotions during the Third Hokage's displays of concern, Sasuke now felt extremely uncomfortable.
Will of Fire? What a joke!
"By the way, there's one more person," Feather-Clad Genesis added, "Uchiha Itachi alone couldn't have eliminated the entire Uchiha clan. There was another Uchiha with a Mangekyo Sharingan who was invited to join him. That man wore an orange spiral mask and called himself 'Uchiha Madara.' Of course, that wasn't his real identity."
"So there was indeed another Mangekyo Sharingan user," Sasuke muttered. He had wanted to find out more from Uchiha Itachi, but the latter remained silent on the matter. Now, he had finally learned the truth from Lord Feather-Clad.
Feather-Clad Genesis explained, "The reason I'm telling you this now is that your current strength is sufficient to face all of this. Informing you earlier would have only added to your troubles."
"I understand, Lord Feather-Clad," Sasuke nodded solemnly.
"Whether it's Mito Menyan, Transleep Koiharu, or that Mangekyo Sharingan-wielding Uchiha, I will deal with them personally and put a final end to the Uchiha clan's tragedy," Sasuke declared.
Feather-Clad Genesis smiled faintly, "In fact, we're about to meet that Uchiha soon. You might even encounter him ahead of schedule."
"Be prepared. But before that, you should think about how you want to explain the truth to the Uchiha clan members here," Feather-Clad Genesis advised.
Hearing this, Sasuke, who had been brimming with determination, stiffened momentarily.
He had almost forgotten about that matter.
Sasuke shot a pleading glance at Feather-Clad Genesis.
Feather-Clad Genesis responded with a smack on the back of his head.
This was something he wasn't adept at, nor did he want to be involved in such matters.
In the end, Sasuke could only descend from the rooftop with a heavy expression.
Although he was reluctant to face it, he didn't want to hide the truth from the others.
Soon, while Feather-Clad Genesis remained on the rooftop, taking in the scenery, he heard faint sounds of shock, anger, and questioning coming from below.
He shook his head.
Such outbursts of emotions were something the reserved Feather-Clad Genesis always tried to avoid.
Thus, he decided to wait a while longer.
Half an hour later, Feather-Clad Genesis descended from the rooftop and joined the gathered Uchiha clan members.
Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't pry further.
Based on his understanding of those present, even if they learned the truth about the Night of the Uchiha Massacre, they wouldn't let go of their grudge against Uchiha Itachi. After all, this guy had sided with Konoha and carried out the massacre under their orders.
Sasuke himself was also conflicted.
Hate Uchiha Itachi? Now that he knew that everything Itachi did was for his sake, he didn't know how to continue hating him.
But the fact that Itachi had stood with Konoha against the Uchiha, even with his knowledge of Itachi's ideals, still bothered him, and he harbored resentment towards his brother.
Betraying one's own clan and bloodline for the sake of the Will of Fire.
This was something Sasuke, who viewed his clan as family, would never understand or accept.
Regardless.
Uchiha Itachi was now dead.
For Sasuke and the other Uchiha, this moment united them in their shared hatred towards Konoha.
Without adding fuel to the fire, Yuyi Xuan Yue simply gave a brief instruction and, with a grand gesture, continued their journey.
What had been a group of three tomoe-sharingans and two regular sharingans before their departure had now transformed into three Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and a full set of three-tomoe sharingans upon their return.
As the Uchiha returned triumphantly, reuniting with their longtime allies, the Yuyi Clan, the waves they had created swiftly spread throughout the ninja world.
The sensational news that once shocked countless people in the ninja world—the annihilation of the renowned Uchiha Clan—had taken a new turn. Uchiha Itachi, the perpetrator, had been slain.
And the one who delivered the fatal blow was none other than his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, along with a group of unknown Uchiha ninjas who had seemingly appeared out of thin air.
Additionally, this battle took place within the confines of Konoha Village. As the host, Konoha had merely spectated, and afterward, a significant number of Konoha villagers were rumored to be highly dissatisfied with the village's leadership.
These developments stirred up the once quiet ninja world once more.
In a secret underground base within the Land of Fields, after a long absence, Orochimaru, who had kept a low profile for the past two years, twirled a Noh mask in his hand as he perused the latest intelligence on the ninja world provided by Kabuto Yakushi. A long tongue flicked across his lips, and a cold smile curved his mouth as he said, "So, Uchiha Itachi is dead after all."
Beside him, Kabuto adjusted his glasses and added, "It's said that he fell to the combined efforts of Uchiha Sasuke and others. I never expected that there would be so many surviving members of the Uchiha Clan."
"But the most outstanding among them is still Uchiha Sasuke, especially now that he possesses Itachi's eyes," Orochimaru said, his face filled with greed and regret.
He had come so close to obtaining Uchiha Sasuke years ago.
However, the existence of so many surviving Uchiha clan members was also a boon for him.
Even if he couldn't get his hands on Sasuke, he could lower the difficulty and target other Uchiha individuals.
The time limit for the Impure World Reincarnation was almost upon him.
Orochimaru looked at his hands, which had regained their human appearance.
Back then, after scouring through various records of the Uzumaki Clan, he had finally found a clue and reached the Uzumaki Repository just ahead of Yuyi Xuan Yue, where he discovered the Shinigami Mask. His hands had regained their souls, and he had even stumbled upon the good news that the souls of the previous Kage were missing.
Now, his strength had returned to its peak.
It was time to venture out and find a new vessel for himself.
A Uchiha would always be his first choice.
The Sharingan—he was determined to obtain it!
