Chapter 570: Sasuke: Senju Yecheng? Never Heard of Such a Minor Character
Chapter 570: Sasuke: Senju Yecheng? Never Heard of Such a Minor Character
After receiving a Palm Strike from Yecheng, the energetic girl adorably clutched her head and crouched down on the spot.
However, while Rin looked at him with an aggrieved expression, Kakashi, standing beside her, was thrilled and asked, "Yecheng, do you mean there's another way to save Rin?"
If Kakashi had to choose between Rin and the village, he would probably be the most tormented.
Especially after Rin's selfless willingness to die and her smile as she asked him to kill her, Kakashi swore he never wanted to see that again in his life.
"Isn't the solution simple? Without knowing the enemy's plan, we would probably take Rin back to Konoha, and their plan would succeed.
But now that we know their intentions, can't we bring Konoha's sealing experts here and solve the problem?"
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Kakashi and the others were stunned. They hadn't thought the solution would be so straightforward, especially after their previous dramatic farewells.
Rin was also surprised, slightly opening her small mouth. No wonder Yecheng had been angry earlier; their previous actions had indeed been foolish.
"This is indeed a good idea, but it's not easy for Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, to leave the village.
Forget it... This little girl seems to match my personality, so I'll go back to Konoha.
As for you, Yecheng, stay here and protect these two brats. They can't return to Konoha now, but leaving them here isn't ideal either."
Rin's kind and strong character impressed Tsunade, so she offered to help.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, it wasn't easy for Kushina to leave the village, especially during wartime.
But if Tsunade pleaded, there was still hope, as the Third Hokage felt indebted to her.
Tsunade's participation in the upcoming ninja mission would also require the Third Hokage to make a decision.
Soon after Tsunade left, something unexpected happened! The seal on Rin's Tailed Beast was only a partial seal, and it was on the verge of breaking.
Shortly after Tsunade's departure, the Three-Tails, which had been quiet within Rin, suddenly started to rampage.
Rin, who had been calm, now showed signs of pain on her face, and Tailed Beast Chakra resembling a fiery mantle began to emerge from her body.
Apparently, someone had likely guessed their plan, and the once-dying chuunibyou was now fully exposed, causing the Tailed Beast within Rin to go berserk!
Several dozen minutes earlier, after Yecheng had defeated the Mist Hidden Shinobi and mentioned digging up Sasuke, Kakuzu also returned to Sasuke's hideout with many doubts.
"Senju Yecheng? I've never heard of this character. Is he related to Hashirama?"
In a dimly lit cave, a frail, emaciated man leaned against the wall, his body reduced to little more than a skeleton, with branches and vines resembling IV tubes wrapped around him.
No one would have guessed that this man, whose life seemed as fragile as a flickering candle in the wind, was the legendary Uchiha Sasuke, the same man who had fought alongside 'God of the Shinobi World' Hashirama Senju, and was believed to have died in the Valley of the End.
In reality, Sasuke had faked his death and had been alive all this time.
The mist-concealed ninjas who had previously captured Rin were also manipulated by him.
Even with Hashirama's cells, Uchiha Sasuke's life was nearing its end.
He was about to die, but his dreams and ambitions remained unfulfilled, which was unacceptable.
Kakuzu, created by his own hands, was loyal but a weak fighter.
Thus, after his death, Uchiha Sasuke needed to cultivate a new puppet to carry out his unfinished tasks.
Indeed, the person Uchiha Sasuke chose was none other than Uchiha Orochimaru.
To make Orochimaru an excellent puppet, certain preparations were necessary. Kakashi Hatake personally killing Haruno Rin was a staged event orchestrated by Uchiha Sasuke to immerse Orochimaru in hatred and better control him.
The plan was going smoothly, but Kakuzu suddenly returned with unexpected news—an unforeseen individual had intruded upon their scheme.
What's more astonishing was that this person seemed to know that Uchiha Sasuke was still alive, which surprised Uchiha Sasuke.
His fake death should have been flawless; even the careless Senju Hashirama, let alone the cautious Senju Tobirama, had been completely deceived by him.
But now, who was this Senju Yecheng, and why could he sense Uchiha Sasuke's existence?
"Senju Yecheng, like Konoha's 'Golden Flash' in this shinobi war, is one of the genius ninjas of the younger generation in Konoha.
He has no direct blood relation to Senju Hashirama, but he is a disciple of Senju Tsunade, Hashirama's granddaughter."
In response to Uchiha Sasuke's inquiry, Kakuzu revealed all the information he had.
Not only was Uchiha Sasuke surprised, but Kakuzu was also shocked. Kakuzu had witnessed the birth of the entire shinobi world and was not some mere hundred-year-old brat like Uchiha Sasuke. He had endured for many years, carrying the heavy responsibility of saving his mother. The current reincarnations of Asura and Indra were the most promising generation he had ever seen for freeing his mother.
To cultivate Uchiha Sasuke, Kakuzu even went to the Uchiha clan's territory, altering their history and clan records to achieve his ultimate goal.
It had been a thousand years, and this was the closest he had ever come to success. Uchiha Sasuke, the puppet, had been following the plan Kakuzu had devised.
Before Kaguya otsutsuki's seal was broken, Kakuzu and Uchiha Sasuke were still bound together.
Only if Uchiha Sasuke's plan succeeded could his mother be freed, so Kakuzu felt a strong sense of unease towards Yecheng, who might disrupt Uchiha Sasuke's plan.
If Uchiha Sasuke failed, a century of planning would be wasted, but Kakuzu had waited for a thousand years!
"The younger generation of Konoha, just an ordinary brat?
Whether he's bluffing or genuinely knows something, we'll take care of him this time."
Upon learning that Yecheng was just a twenty-year-old brat with no direct relation to Senju Hashirama, merely an ordinary Senju clan member, Uchiha Sasuke instantly regained his composure.
The only person Uchiha Sasuke considered a worthy opponent was Hashirama, and a mere Senju clan member dared to challenge him?
