Chapter 317 Sasuke: I've wanted to do this for a long time
Chapter 317 Sasuke: I've wanted to do this for a long time
All eyes turned to the one-armed Sasuke, and everyone was very curious about the sudden appearance of Sasuke and Boruto.
However, Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinne Sharingan is not fake.
In fact, even without the Rinne Sharingan with six tomoe, Fugaku could confirm that this was Sasuke, a connection of father and son by blood.
Even if Fugaku didn't ask, someone else present would.
Sasuke hesitated, wondering whether he should tell the truth.
Boruto looked at Sasuke, waiting for Sasuke to make a decision.
After a short silence, Sasuke finally spoke.
Sasuke told the truth after all.
From Sasuke's words, everyone learned about Otsutsuki Urashiki.
"Otsutsuki Urashiki?"
Everyone's expression was solemn.
After all, they were members of the clan of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, so their strength was definitely not weak.
Urashiki Otsutsuki's target is the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Naruto is still a child. Although he has some strength, he would struggle to deal with an ordinary Chunin. If he were to encounter Urashiki Otsutsuki, he would be completely powerless to resist.
If the Nine-Tails' chakra falls into the hands of Urashiki Otsutsuki, the consequences will be unimaginable.
“Urashiki’s target is Naruto, but he shouldn’t be in Konoha right now,” Sasuke said.
This is troublesome, since we don't know where Otsutsuki Urashiki is.
Even if he's not in Konoha now, he could appear at any time.
"Is Shisui dead? And... Itachi... is he now..." Sasuke hesitated for a moment before asking.
Chronologically speaking, Shisui must be dead, the Uchiha clan is about to be wiped out, and Itachi would become a rogue ninja and join the Akatsuki. But Danzo has become a rogue ninja, while the Uchiha clan is still doing well, which makes Sasuke a little confused.
“Shisui is dead. One of his Sharingan was taken by Danzo, which I later took back. The other one was in my hands. Shisui committed suicide by jumping into the Naka River. As for Itachi…” Fugaku hesitated.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained expressionless, but his heart was far from calm.
Originally, Sarutobi planned to execute Itachi.
Because of the annihilation of the Sarutobi clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost lost his mind. He not only lost all trust in Itachi, but also decided to kill Itachi.
Sarutobi hadn't expected Sasuke's sudden appearance, which completely disrupted his plans.
Would Sasuke just stand by and watch Itachi be executed?
Can the village's current strength withstand Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinne Sharingan?
……
Konoha Prison is located on the edge of the village, not far from the Forest of Death.
In some ways, it's even more terrifying than Ghost Lantern Castle.
Under the cover of night, the prison was eerie and terrifying, filled with the most vicious criminals.
Itachi was imprisoned deep inside the prison.
At this moment, Itachi was filled with resentment.
He hated that someone impersonated him and wiped out the Sarutobi clan, and he also hated that the village's higher-ups didn't believe him.
Actually, proving his innocence isn't difficult; for example, by making his memories public.
The Third Hokage clearly believed that he was the one who wiped out the Sarutobi clan.
Now that his chakra and eye power have been sealed, and he is in the village prison, he may be facing execution.
As Itachi pondered this, he felt unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the cell, getting closer and closer.
When the footsteps stopped outside the door, the prison door was then smashed open.
The thick prison door was easily shattered, and fragments of all sizes fell to the ground, making a clanging sound like metal striking metal.
Itachi looked on in surprise.
When Itachi saw a one-armed figure slowly walk into the cell and come up in front of him, his eyes widened.
If it weren't for seeing it with its own eyes, Itachi would never have believed it.
That air of someone who's mastered the art of pretense—there's no doubt it's his foolish older brother.
If he only has one arm, then he's Sasuke from Boruto.
Why would Sasuke from Boruto appear? This puzzled Itachi.
Putting aside Itachi's surprise, Sasuke slowly sheathed his ninja sword.
"I heard you wiped out the Sarutobi clan. That makes me look at you in a new light." A smile appeared on Sasuke's lips.
However, there was still something complicated in Sasuke's eyes.
Seeing Itachi again, in this way, filled Sasuke with many emotions.
"Two pillars?" Itachi was still surprised.
Itachi was quite used to being called "Two Pillars," so he just said it casually.
However, one-armed Sasuke does not accept this title.
"Don't call me Sasuke, I'm not some kind of fool, I'm your stupid brother." Sasuke's face turned cold.
"You're not Sasuke, are you? Uchiha Obito? You impersonated me and wiped out the Sarutobi clan? What are you trying to do by coming to find me now?" Itachi thought for a moment and calmed down.
Despite the damn familiarity, Itachi still couldn't believe that this was Sasuke from Boruto.
Sasuke from the future, whose original destiny was set in the future, has traveled to this timeline? This is truly unbelievable.
Sasuke was stunned.
Then, he looked at Itachi with amusement.
Sasuke found it funny.
Sasuke learned that the Sarutobi clan had been wiped out, and that it was by Itachi.
However, Sasuke felt it was unlikely that Itachi was the one who did it.
Now, according to Itachi's account, it was Obito Uchiha who impersonated Itachi and wiped out the Sarutobi clan?
Sasuke was certainly familiar with Obito; he was Kakashi's close friend and also the pathetic guy who was tricked by Madara Uchiha.
Obito's tragedy was all caused by Madara Uchiha.
As for Madara, he was outmaneuvered by Black Zetsu; it should be said that Black Zetsu was the mastermind behind everything.
Logically speaking, the name Obito should be someone who has been dead for several years to Itachi, a guy who was once called a loser but later became a village hero. He wouldn't know that the masked man is actually Obito.
But given Itachi's current state, who would believe he didn't know the masked man was Obito?
However, Sasuke understood when he thought of the light screen.
Sasuke exudes an air of pretentiousness in every move he makes.
At this moment, Sasuke lifted his bangs, revealing his six-tomoe Rinne Sharingan.
Although Itachi's chakra and eye power were sealed, he can still see.
When Itachi was first sent to this prison, he was blind because his eye power was sealed.
He is no longer blind.
When Itachi met Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinne Sharingan, his eye power broke free from the seal in the next moment.
"You, with your Mangekyou Sharingan, were actually restricted by a mere broken sealing technique. How shameful!" Sasuke mocked.
Then, Sasuke walked step by step toward Itachi.
When Sasuke reached out and flicked Itachi's forehead, he stood in front of Itachi.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time." Sasuke felt relieved.
Itachi:......
"My foolish brother, wait until you have eyes like mine~" Sasuke said with a smile.
Itachi: ? ? ?
It used to feel good when it 'bullied' Sasuke, but now Itachi isn't feeling so good about it.
However, as his eye power recovered, Itachi's eyes manifested as kaleidoscopes.
Immediately afterwards, the sealing technique that had been restricting Itachi's chakra began to loosen.
However, Itachi will need some time to break the seal that binds his chakra.
At this moment, Itachi finally realized that the one-armed Sasuke before him was not an imposter, but the real deal. Therefore, there was only one explanation: the future Sasuke had traveled to this timeline, arrived in Konoha, learned of the Sarutobi clan's annihilation, and then came to visit him in prison.
Although Sasuke's attitude wasn't very good, it was clear that he came to save him.
"Are you Sasuke from Boruto?" Itachi asked.
"Boruto?" Sasuke asked, puzzled.
Through the light screen and from Jiraiya and others, Sasuke learned a lot, but he was unclear about Boruto.
Seeing Sasuke's confusion, Itachi gave a brief explanation.
After hearing Itachi's explanation, Sasuke understood.
But Sasuke's heart was far from at peace.
So, the world he inhabits was created by higher-dimensional beings? Shippuden? Boruto? His fate, Itachi's fate, and even the Uchiha clan, Konoha, the ninja world, and even beyond the ninja world—was everything predetermined?
Everyone is following the script?
Isn't this absurd?
But as things stand now, it's not impossible.
At this time, a lot of people arrived outside the prison.
Almost all the survivors of the Sarutobi clan, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, came.
"Uncle Sasuke, isn't this a bit too reckless?" Boruto ran to Sasuke's side with a helpless expression.
Itachi also saw Boruto.
Now, it's even more certain that the one-armed Sasuke in front of me is from Boruto.
It has to be said that it's quite unexpected that Sasuke from Boruto would appear in this timeline.
As for Boruto saying that Sasuke is too reckless, Itachi can understand that.
Itachi is now a sinner ninja, but Sasuke comes to save him.
Furthermore, it seems that Sasuke didn't come secretly, but rather openly and honestly to rescue him.
So, is Sasuke going to fight the entire Hidden Leaf Village all by himself?
Sasuke, with his six-tomoe Rinne Sharingan, might be able to do it, but that's not what Itachi wanted.
Although he was somewhat disappointed with the village's leadership, Itachi still did not want the village to be harmed.
"It's alright." Sasuke remained calm.
Sasuke's confidence stemmed from his formidable strength.
Before he traveled here, Sasuke was the man behind the Seventh Hokage and the protector of Konoha. But in this timeline, in this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar Konoha, knowing Itachi's situation, he couldn't stand idly by.
Even if it means becoming an enemy of Konoha, Sasuke doesn't care.
Sasuke was certain that Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the others would not dare to attack him.
On one hand, his strength alone was enough to intimidate Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and others.
On the other hand, the Uchiha clan of Konoha must also be taken into consideration to some extent.
And then there's Urashiki Otsutsuki.
Knowing that Urashiki Otsutsuki's goal was the Nine-Tails' chakra, Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi had to think twice.
Therefore, Sasuke was almost fearless.
Of course, this also reflects Itachi's special place in Sasuke's heart.
……
Outside the prison, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
Indeed, Sarutobi was just bluffing.
Sarutobi wouldn't dare to risk everything to deal with one-armed Sasuke and Itachi.
Not only is the chance of winning slim, but we also need to consider the bigger picture.
Jiraiya, Mitokado Homura, and Koharu Utatane, among others, are not fools; they all have a clear understanding of the current situation.
Fugaku didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
In addition, something seemed to be brewing in Fugaku's mind.
Because Urashiki Otsutsuki was lurking in the shadows, and Sasuke with one arm was in the open, Sarutobi and the others dared not make any rash moves.
Ultimately, it all comes down to ability.
Actually, the Uchiha clan isn't strong enough!
If the Uchiha clan were powerful enough, the village's higher-ups would have to defer to them. At that point, the Hokage position might be decided by a single word from the Uchiha.
As mentioned on the screen, after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke was to become Hokage. He fought Naruto at the Valley of the End, and Naruto won by sheer luck. Therefore, Naruto became Hokage, and Sasuke married Sakura.
So, assuming Sasuke wins the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke after the Fourth Shinobi World War, will Sasuke become the Seventh Hokage?
Sasuke, a rogue ninja, became Hokage? What did he rely on? Mutual understanding between people? The Will of Fire? Bullshit, it's all about strength!
At that moment, Fugaku gained a clearer understanding of his own strength.
In the past, he thought that ninjas who were obsessed with power had gone astray, and that there were many things more precious than power.
But now, he doesn't think that way anymore.
Only those with power can control everything, and then protect what they cherish.
Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are good examples.
If Hashirama and Madara didn't have the power to suppress the powerful, how many people in the ninja world would listen to them?
Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya. Now that Sarutobi was no longer the Hokage, Jiraiya was. Sarutobi was in a dilemma and hoped that Jiraiya would step in.
However, Jiraiya remained silent.
Judging from Jiraiya's expression, he's letting Sarutobi handle everything himself.
This made Sarutobi feel even more resentful towards Jiraiya.
After all, does Hiruzen Sarutobi, the ninja king, have no pride?
Sarutobi made his stance clear, and then Jiraiya, as Hokage, stopped him from acting impulsively. Sarutobi then took the opportunity to back down and consider the bigger picture, but Jiraiya refused to cooperate.
Did Jiraiya know what Sarutobi was thinking? He really didn't.
At this moment, Jiraiya thought of testing the one-armed Sasuke.
Boruto is just a kid, and even with the Jōgan, he's not much of a threat, but Sasuke is a different story.
Sasuke possesses Six Paths level combat power.
Even if all the members of Konoha were combined, they wouldn't be able to defeat a Six Paths level fighter.
This is a good opportunity to test the waters with Sarutobi and Itachi, which will allow Jiraiya to make a more accurate judgment.
Not long after, Sasuke, Boruto, and Itachi walked out of the prison together.
The seal on Itachi has been lifted.
Although Itachi's eye power and chakra have recovered, his injuries are still there, which significantly impacts his combat strength.
Both Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu felt a pang of regret. They wished they hadn't imprisoned Itachi but had killed him instead. In that case, Sasuke and Boruto would only be able to visit the memorial stone to mourn Itachi when they arrived in Konoha.
Itachi had committed numerous crimes, including annihilating the Sarutobi clan. What was wrong with killing him?
Even if Sasuke is dissatisfied, he'll probably just have to put up with it!
The Uchiha clan wouldn't go to such extremes.
It will be difficult to kill Itachi now.
What a missed opportunity!
This made Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu feel a pang of regret.
Both Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu could understand Hiruzen Sarutobi's current feelings.
"It was Obito Uchiha who wiped out the Sarutobi clan," Sasuke said to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Actually, Sasuke wasn't sure if it was Obito, but Obito was a strong suspect.
If Obito could trick the Uchiha clan, then it wouldn't hurt to trick Obito in return.
Therefore, Sasuke remained very calm.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression shifted between light and shadow.
But this is the best option right now. Insisting that Itachi wiped out the Sarutobi clan is neither good for Sarutobi nor for the village.
The previously good relationship between Sarutobi and Itachi was completely broken.
