Chapter 638: Sasuke's Visit!
Chapter 638: Sasuke's Visit!
Meanwhile, on the other side!
As soon as he left the Hokage Tower, Touhei began making arrangements.
Using Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu, he dispersed to various places to spread rumors.
And so, the news about Enma Hayate and the sale of the Second Hokage for the position of Hokage exploded instantly.
After all, anyone who knew the process of the incident would have their suspicions.
How could the Second Hokage, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, escape, while his disciples, tasked with protecting him, returned unharmed?
Furthermore, upon their return, they became the Hokage and Advisor Elders.
When the White Fang's mission failed, they were expected to commit suicide as an apology. So why didn't these people, who failed to protect the Second Hokage, do the same?
Additionally, there was the matter of Chujian Cells and the Uchiha Clan's annihilation, which was intentionally allowed by the higher-ups to obtain the Sharingan. Otherwise, who would believe that such a large clan could disappear without a trace?
The villagers under the Leaf Flag were incredibly bold, even daring to spread rumors about the Uchiha Clan in the past, let alone now.
The rumors spread throughout the village in an instant!
Moreover, Root Division often engaged in such activities, so the Security Force wouldn't intervene.
The issue was that this time, the main characters were Danzou and Enma Hayate. The situation was getting out of hand.
In other words, if Konoha had a trending list, this would be at the top in an instant.
Whether in taverns or secluded corners, everyone was discussing this topic.
Today was supposed to be the Hokage election, with everyone focused on related matters. But with the sudden revelation of these events, the entire village was in an uproar.
When it came to manipulating public opinion, Touhei, who had witnessed countless methods in his past life, casually employed a few techniques, creating a devastating impact.
"The Second Hokage... was he really killed?"
"Definitely. Otherwise, how could they have become the Hokage and Elders after failing in their mission?"
"Yeah, and their families even gained such great benefits!"
"Should Konoha be renamed 'Apefly' Village now?"
"The Uchiha Clan is unlucky, targeted because of the Sharingan!"
...
There was no way to stop the spread of various rumors.
If the Uchiha Clan was in charge of the Security Force, they could control the situation to some extent.
After all, under the Sharingan Genjutsu, anyone trying to spread rumors could be easily traced.
But with the Security Force now under the Hokage Clan, there were indeed fewer complaints.
However, their abilities had diminished! Those who came were slackers, and many weren't even ninjas.
If there were no issues, being a ninja might not matter.
But when there was a problem, being a ninja would make a significant difference.
At the very least, during such times, the Security Force couldn't seal off the village.
The news naturally reached the ears of one person.
Ichiraku Ramen.
Bang!
The sound of a broken ramen bowl echoed in the shop.
"Sasuke?" 2
Two puzzled voices sounded simultaneously.
Sakura and Naruto's Team 7 had come to eat here, and just as they arrived, they overheard passersby discussing Danzou's dozens of embedded Sharingan and how the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan was orchestrated by the village's higher-ups.
Whoosh!
Sasuke immediately rushed out of the ramen shop.
At this moment, he had one thought.
He needed to find out if what those people had said was true.
Soon, Sasuke caught up with two villagers.
"Where did you hear about the Uchiha Clan from?"
At this point, he didn't care about his tone or attitude.
"Hmph, why should I tell you, you little brat... We also heard it from somewhere else!"
Just as one of the displeased villagers was about to lose his temper, he caught sight of Sasuke's crimson Sharingan and immediately backed down.
Even under the Leaf Flag, one wouldn't want to provoke an orphan of the Uchiha Clan.
Especially since the discussion involved the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan, they naturally became cautious and truthfully answered.
Upon hearing this response, Sasuke immediately let the two villagers go and rushed off in another direction.
Since the entire village was discussing this, Sasuke naturally heard about the 'great achievements' of the Hokage Clan's higher-ups.
Instantly, the image of the Third Hokage crumbled in Sasuke's heart.
It was only now that he realized the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan was related to Konoha's higher-ups, and Danzou even had numerous Sharingan embedded in him.
"This won't do, I must uncover the truth!"
Sasuke's mind was now solely focused on this thought.
However, he didn't know how to investigate the truth.
If it were Kakashi, even though he was Sasuke's teacher, Sasuke couldn't easily trust him due to his relationship with the Hokage higher-ups.
Suddenly, he thought of a name.
Uchiha Touhei!
He also has the surname Uchiha, so he can ask him.
So, he quickly rushed to the Pavilion.
The Pavilion is where Touhei and his group are staying, but it's an officially designated reception location for Konoha, hence the name.
For a village, it's not qualified to be called an 'Embassy'.
Soon, Sasuke arrived at the Pavilion.
Touhei is 'obediently' staying here, proving that the rumors circulating in the village have nothing to do with him.
Whether the other party believes it or not, as long as he believes it, that's fine.
Sitting in the lobby and drinking tea, he ensures that he is under Konoha's surveillance, and naturally, he sees Sasuke who has arrived.
"Nidaime?"
"Yes, he should have heard those rumors too!"
"Looks like his mind is still clear, knowing who to ask!"
...
These thoughts flashed through Touhei's mind, but his expression remained cold, and he merely signaled to Minoko, Korin, and Mizu to stay calm.
As for Kaori, naturally, she went to prepare lunch, as she likes to cook personally.
Yamagami Kousuke is naturally at the training ground.
Whenever he has some free time, he doesn't waste it, and he trains like a self-torturer.
If not for this, he wouldn't have touched upon the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates, and his taijutsu is even stronger than Gai.
As for Hyuga Sougetsu, he is currently busy with the Hyuga Clan, and naturally doesn't have time to see his 'disciple'.
"You...are you also an Uchiha?"
Sasuke, who entered the Pavilion, naturally recognized that Touhei was the leader of the previous group that came for the exchange, but what he didn't expect was that his name was 'Uchiha Touhei' instead of 'Souhei'.
"Nidaime...Sasuke, you finally came. Mizu, go greet him!"
Touhei almost called him Nidaime, but fortunately, he corrected himself in time.
It can only be said that currently, Nidaime, aside from being a bit cold and tsundere, his mind is still normal. Only after the finale, when he is hit by Naruto's 'Personality Correction Fist', does he completely transform into that person.
"Sasuke!"
Mizu put down the tea set, and her heart was filled with complex emotions as she looked at the youth before her.
She and Sasuke do know each other.
However, because she has grown up, and with changes in her temperament, it made it so that Sasuke didn't recognize her at first sight.
Their relationship is extremely complex.
Logically, she should hate him, after all, her mother died at the hands of his older brother.
But looking at this youth, who overnight lost both parents and whose older brother became a missing-nin after the clan massacre, Mizu still softened a little.
But towards 'Daizuo', she hated him even more.
"You...Mizu-nee?"
Sasuke recognized this female ninja with a teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of her eye, and her gentle demeanor.
"It's me!"
Mizu's eyes turned into the Sharingan, but she closed them immediately.
"Mizu-nee, how could you..."
Sasuke was extremely excited, and at this moment, he had countless questions in his mind, but his words were interrupted.
"I'm now a disciple of Teacher Touhei, and also a wandering soul who escaped on the night of the clan massacre!"
Mizu spoke up.
However, she only said this much, and naturally, she would see if Touhei was willing to say more.
"Go take care of those loose ends, and make those spies forget about Sasuke's arrival!"
Touhei signaled for Mizu to take action.
With her strength, erasing the memories of those surveillers is not a problem at all.
After all, she is still the transplanted Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, with its illusion enhancement off the charts. These tasks are completely without any difficulty.
"Yes!"
Mizu instantly disappeared from the living room.
And at this moment, Touhei also slowly began to speak.
"Twelve years ago, Konoha experienced the Nine-Tails Fox's Rebellion, and the village suffered heavy losses. Furthermore, someone saw traces of manipulation by the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes!"
"Then, the Uchiha Clan faced suppression..."
"The Uchiha Clan, driven to desperation by the village, prepared to launch a rebellion!"
"At this time, an Uchiha, in order to protect the village from being attacked by other villages due to the civil war, planned to slaughter all the clan members before the rebellion!"
"However, he pleaded with the Hokage to spare his younger brother's life..."
...
Soon, the story was told.
Touhei wouldn't beautify Daizuo like other time-travelers.
Instead, from a third-person perspective, he narrated the events.
In short, this is what happened after an Uchiha went dark and lost his mind.
