Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

If that's really the case, how can I face Uchiha Jun, Uchiha Izumi, and others who have lost their loved ones?

In response, Yu Yi Xuan Yue replied in a calm tone, "To be precise, it's for Konoha and for you."

Sasuke clenched his fist: "Konoha?"

"Yes. Itachi Uchiha is an outlier in the Uchiha clan. He loves Konoha far more than the Uchiha clan. Speaking of which, Konoha's ideological education is indeed outstanding, which I have to admire."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue felt a pang of emotion.

He continued, "At that time, the Uchiha clan was on the verge of a coup, and the Konoha leadership had decided to exterminate the Uchiha clan. For your sake, and for his own ideals, Itachi Uchiha chose to stand on the side of Konoha. In fact, he had another choice."

"Since the sword can be raised against the Uchiha clan, it can also be raised against the Konoha leadership. With his strength, if he joins forces with the Uchiha clan, he has a good chance of taking down the Konoha leadership by surprise. Then he can quickly cut the Gordian knot, become the Fifth Hokage, protect the Uchiha clan and you, realize his ideals, and continue to contribute to Konoha."

"As for the slight pain and bloodshed in Konoha after the coup, compared to the complete annihilation of the once-powerful Uchiha clan, which weakened Konoha's strength and greatly diminished its prestige, it is nothing."

“But he didn’t choose that possibility,” Sasuke said, taking a deep breath.

At this moment, the image of Itachi Uchiha pointing his finger at his forehead before his death kept replaying in his mind, as well as memories of the two of them together when they were young. Combined with the truth that Yu Yi Gengetsu had told him, he gradually stopped rejecting it and slowly began to accept the truth.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded: "You would definitely do it if it were Sasuke. But Uchiha Itachi, he is a steadfast inheritor of the Will of Fire. Just like your friend, Uzumaki Naruto."

"Naruto. Itachi."

If it weren't for the mention of Yu Yi Xuan Yue, Sasuke would never have connected the two of them.

After all, the two are very different in terms of personality, speech, and behavior.

The only similarity.

Just as Yu Yi Xuan Yue said.

"The inheritor of the Will of Fire. Heh."

Sasuke chuckled coldly a few times.

"Lord Hagoromo," he asked again, voicing the question that had been lingering in his mind, "why? Why did Ueto come this time?"

"Because he had no choice," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said calmly.

After Sasuke took refuge under his tutelage, and he himself took Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan from Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi Uchiha's initial plan to keep Sasuke unaware of the truth of what happened back then, and to ensure his return to Konoha, could no longer be realized.

"Having realized this fact, in his final moments, when faced with the choice between the village and you, he ultimately chose you, willing to sacrifice his own life to help you activate the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then offer his own eyes in return. In this way, with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, you will be virtually worry-free in the ninja world."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked at the sealing scroll on Sasuke's waist.

"This is Itachi's last wish. Go back and prepare for the surgery. Evolve your eyes to the Eternal Eye. Madara Uchiha was at this level back then."

Sasuke reached out and grasped the scroll sealing Itachi's corpse. Recalling everything he had just learned, he paused for a few moments, then nodded emphatically.

"I understand, Itachi."

Then, his tone suddenly turned cold and sharp: "So, the root of everything is that the Konoha higher-ups wanted to wipe out the entire Uchiha clan back then! Right, Lord Hagoromo?"

"To be honest, it was the Uchiha clan's coup that started it all," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said truthfully. "Of course, the Konoha leadership's ruthless elimination of the Uchiha clan members who were unaware of the plot and even those who opposed it was also extremely cruel. In the end, it was because the Konoha leadership was too afraid of the Uchiha clan's power."

"Afraid of the Uchiha's power? Haha~~ Back then, wasn't the Uchiha's power just the power of Konoha?" Sasuke was very puzzled and even burst into laughter without regard for his image.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue waited for him to finish laughing before saying, "Sasuke, you need to understand that what mediocre leaders least want to see is subordinates who are too outstanding. For exceptional leaders, however, the more outstanding subordinates the better."

Sasuke was silent.

At that moment, he suddenly felt very fortunate that he and the other Uchiha remnants were able to join Lord Hagoromo's school.

If it were any other force, upon learning that the Uchiha now possess three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, they would probably be restless and try every means to weaken them, or even completely exterminate them like Konoha did.

Sasuke looked intently at Hagoromo Gengetsu.

He's not like Naruto, who readily expresses his emotions.

But in his heart, he deeply respected Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who had given him light and hope in the darkness back then.

Although he was too shy to say it, he already regarded Yu Yi Xuan Yue as family, like a parent.

From now on, his Eternal Eye will forever remain open for the one before him.

However, there was one more thing he needed to understand.

"Lord Yu Yi, who were those high-ranking officials of Konoha back then?" Sasuke asked, his eyes flashing coldly.

"The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi; Konoha Advisor and Elder, Danzo Shimura; Homura Mitokado; and Koharu Utatane," Hagoromo Gengetsu explained.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is dead, and I killed Danzo Shimura. Now, the only ones left are Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, two old men and women who are quite good at preserving their lives."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 198 Sharingan, I'm determined to get it!

The fact that they were able to survive all the way into Boruto speaks volumes about the survival skills of those two old guys, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue experienced it once.

He had just visited the two people in Konoha when he had nothing else to do.

Despite the village's grand display, they were not attracted to appear, and no one knew where they were hiding.

All I can say is that his skill in "cultivating inner energy" is truly remarkable.

"Mitokado Bronchi. Utatane Koharu"

Sasuke thought to himself.

Through Yu Yi Gengetsu's narration, it becomes clear that he actually wanted to cause trouble for the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo, the two individuals who personally devised and orchestrated the massacre plan.

Unfortunately, Shimura Danzo had already died at the hands of Lord Hagoromo.

As for the Third Hokage, who died even earlier...

Sasuke's gaze turned cold.

He recalled the kind face of the Third Hokage who would often visit him when he was a lonely child.

What should have been a beautiful memory now makes me feel incredibly disgusted.

The decision to ultimately destroy the Uchiha clan was made by the Third Hokage.

Itachi Uchiha was able to survive because he voluntarily acted as the executioner; it was never because the Third Hokage took pity on him and spared his life.

This mastermind behind the massacre of the Uchiha clan pretended to know nothing after the night of the massacre, and even put on a kind and loving appearance, giving himself warmth and encouragement from time to time.

Doesn't he feel even a little disgusted by his own hypocritical behavior?

Now, whenever Sasuke thinks about how touched he was by the Third Hokage's concern and care back then, he feels very uncomfortable.

Will of Fire

joke!

“Oh, right, there’s one more person,” Yu Yi Xuan Yue added. “Itachi Uchiha alone couldn’t have wiped out the entire Uchiha clan. Back then, another Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan was invited to join him. That man wore an orange spiral mask and called himself ‘Uchiha Madara.’ Of course, he wasn’t.”

"As expected, there is another Mangekyou Sharingan user." Sasuke originally wanted to find out from Itachi Uchiha, but the other party remained silent. Now, he learned about it from Lord Hagoromo.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue then explained, "The reason I'm telling you now is because your current strength is sufficient to face all of this. Telling you before would only have caused you more trouble."

"Lord Yu Yi, I understand."

Sasuke nodded solemnly.

"Whether it's Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, or that Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, I will personally deal with them all and put a final end to the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Perfect timing. We're going to meet that Uchiha next. You might even run into him before then."

"Get ready. But before that, you should think carefully about how to explain the truth to Uchiha Jun and the others."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke, who was displaying his sharp edge, froze instantly.

I almost forgot about this.

He looked at Yu Yi Xuan Yue with pleading eyes.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue turned his head away.

He wasn't good at this kind of thing, and he didn't want to look at it either.

In the end, Sasuke could only walk off the rooftop with a heavy expression.

Although he was very reluctant to face it, he did not want to hide the truth from others.

Soon, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who was still standing on the rooftop admiring the scenery, heard faint sounds of shock, anger, and questioning coming from below.

He shook his head.

He has always been unwilling to face these kinds of emotional outbursts.

So, let's wait and see.

Half an hour later.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, whose time had ended less than expected, walked down from the rooftop and reunited with the Uchiha clan.

Looking around at everyone present, apart from Sasuke, everyone else's emotions had changed to some extent, but judging from how they still treated Sasuke as before, the overall situation was good.

Given the Uchiha's personality, they wouldn't play those tricks; if things really didn't go their way, they would definitely fight.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue didn't ask any further questions at the moment.

Based on his understanding of the people present, even if they knew the truth about the night of the massacre, they wouldn't let go of their hatred for Itachi Uchiha. After all, he was on Konoha's side, accepting Konoha's orders to slaughter the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke was also conflicted.

Hate Uchiha Itachi? After learning that everything the other had done was for his sake, he didn't know how to hate him.

However, even knowing Itachi's beliefs, he still complained and even felt hatred towards him for standing with Konoha instead of the Uchiha.

They betrayed their own kind and bloodline for the so-called Will of Fire.

For someone who considers his clansmen as family, this is something he will never understand or accept.

No matter how.

Itachi Uchiha is now dead.

For Sasuke and the other Uchiha, there was one thing in common at this moment: their hatred for Konoha was even stronger.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue didn't add anything more, simply gave an order, waved her hand, and continued on her way.
