Chapter 584: Yecheng: Our Shukaku Clan Leader Has Been Mined Countless Times
As he watched Uchiha Sasuke, who had died on the spot, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
The once-renowned Ninja, who would have thought that he would end his life in such a manner?
And until the very end, they still didn't understand what Uchiha Sasuke's true intentions were when he faked his death during his battle with the First Hokage.
Why would such a powerful figure take away his own unpromising student?
Even though it might not be fair to say this as a teacher, no matter how Naruto looked at it, Orochimaru didn't seem to have any particularly outstanding qualities...
Even if he wanted to find a suitable Uchiha as a pawn, with Uchiha Sasuke's abilities, there should be many better candidates within the current Uchiha Clan, right?
Uchiha Sasuke was dead, but Yecheng didn't leave his body to rot in the wilderness. Instead, they took it away, adhering to humanitarian principles.
When Naruto saw Yecheng using a Chakra scalpel to dig out Uchiha Sasuke's remaining Sharingan, he couldn't help but show a strange expression.
Uchiha Sasuke's matter was too significant. Collecting the corpse and confirming his identity were indeed essential.
But Yecheng's current eye-digging action, in terms of procedure, was not in compliance with the regulations.
"If the Uchiha Clan finds out that you covet their Sharingan, they'll probably tear you apart alive, won't they?"
Everyone in the Shinobi World was well aware of how much the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans, among other Bloodline families, valued their Bloodline Limits.
Unlike other Bloodline Limits in the Shinobi World, Genjutsu Bloodline Limits could be stripped away by simply digging out the eyes. This led to the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans taking extreme measures to protect their Bloodline Limits.
The Hyuga Clan even developed the "Cage Bird" sealing technique to control their branch family members and prevent the Bloodline from leaking out.
If someone from another clan possessed the Sharingan, they would undoubtedly be considered an enemy by the Uchiha Clan. Moreover, since Yecheng was from the Senju Clan, the relationship between these two clans was already strained.
"Regarding Uchiha Sasuke's matter, I don't plan to report it to the village. After all, there are too many things involved.
You should understand the current relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the village. At this time, if Uchiha Sasuke were to appear, do you think it would be a good thing for the village?
As for digging out Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan, I'm not doing this for myself. Have you forgotten?
Your student, Uchiha Sasuke, gave one of his eyes to Kakashi. Do you intend to let one of them remain a one-eyed dragon?"
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Naruto couldn't help but show a guilty expression.
In theory, both Kakashi and Orochimaru were his students, and as their teacher, he should have taken care of them. However, whether it was Rin in the past or Orochimaru now, he felt that as a teacher, he was far less dedicated and diligent than Yecheng.
"Yecheng, I think you're more suitable to be a Jonin Instructor than me. You're so meticulous; why don't I go back and recommend you to the Hokage?"
"You must be kidding. I'm enjoying my freedom now, so don't bother me with unnecessary trouble.
What's the point of teaching disciples well? You have to be on guard against being backstabbed by them one day. Whoever wants to be a teacher can be one. I'm not interested."
Yecheng's words made Naruto smile bitterly, but he didn't take it to heart. He assumed that his friend was making such an excuse due to his lazy personality.
A student backstabbing their teacher, how could such a thing possibly happen?
In the Shinobi World, the relationship between master and disciple is sometimes even closer and more intimate than that of one's own parents.
"Since you don't intend to report the matter of Uchiha Sasuke to the village, what's the point of taking his body away? Why not bury him here instead? After all, he was once one of the founders of Konoha and a legendary figure in the Shinobi World. Even though he's dead now, let's at least give him a proper burial."
Indeed, the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the village was quite tense at the moment. Naruto also agreed with Yonkage's decision to hide Sasuke's body, as exposing this matter to the village would only worsen the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the village, bringing more harm than good.
"Naruto, you are still too naive. In this world, you can lower your moral standards as much as possible to survive.
Our Senju Clan's Sage of Six Paths is even more revered by all, and he should be a true hero in Konoha, right?
But I can tell you without hesitation that his grave has been dug up several times, and the first to do so was probably Uchiha Sasuke, the very person you wanted to give a proper burial.
Why should only Uchiha Sasuke be allowed to dig up our Senju Clan's graves? Why can't I take his body back for research? Isn't this double standards?
I'll tell you, don't try to play the moral high ground with me, or I'll really beat you up."
With Yonkage saying this, what could Naruto say in response?
He didn't know that the First Hokage's grave had been dug up, but considering that grave digging might be a tradition between the Senju and Uchiha Clans, he didn't bother to get involved. After all, Uchiha Sasuke was already a "dead" person.
Naruto certainly wouldn't hold a grudge against his dear friend over such a minor matter.
Yonkage naturally needed to retrieve Uchiha Sasuke's body, even though doing so might not prevent the Reanimation Jutsu from being used on him. After all, the Second Hokage's forbidden technique only required a small piece of skin to summon the soul, and Kakuzu most likely had a part of Uchiha Sasuke in his possession.
However, with the accumulation of knowledge from multiple worlds, Yonkage was now considered a researcher.
Uchiha Sasuke's body still held value to him, and he might even be able to extract some Yin-Yang Style power from it.
Even if he couldn't extract any value, as long as he sold it to the crazy scientist next door who was always washing his face with his tongue, he believed the scientist would be very interested.
With Uchiha Sasuke taken care of, the cave he had been staying in had also collapsed by half.
Naturally, Yonkage couldn't find Kakuzu's traces in the cave. That dog must have sensed the danger and fled early on.
As for Uchiha Obito, Yonkage and Naruto did find him. While the outside world was in chaos, this guy was sound asleep here.
After checking Obito's condition and finding no major issues, Naruto, seeing Obito blowing bubbles in his sleep, was so angry that he gave the sleeping Obito a physical wake-up call.
"Teacher Naruto, Lord Yonkage, why are you here? Hey, where is this place? Shouldn't I be dead?"
