P.S.: Thank you all for your monthly tickets and flowers! Here's a short chapter of 4,000 words! Just to reiterate, this story does not have a romantic pairing... Thank you everyone.
Chapter Sixty-Four: The Battle of the Valley of the End (Part 1)
This scene takes place at the Valley of the End, where the stone statues of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha stand facing each other, with a person standing on each of their heads.
They are Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted.
Upon hearing Naruto call his name, Sasuke Uchiha didn't react immediately. After a brief pause, he prepared to leave.
"Are you running away from me?" Naruto Uzumaki asked, seeing that Sasuke Uchiha was ignoring him and trying to walk away.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke stopped in his tracks and slowly turned his head!
Naruto was visibly startled by Sasuke's appearance. Sasuke's eyes were cold, his left cheek was now marked with the cursed seal, and even his eyes had changed shape.
"Yo, you utterly idiot," Sasuke Uchiha said coldly, "Is it your turn now?"
Sasuke's transformation not only startled Naruto, but even the viewers found it hard to accept.
"Is that Uchiha Sasuke? The Uchiha boy who saved Naruto from the hands of the White Hunter?"
"It's him! Even though he hasn't awakened the Sharingan, I can't be mistaken, this person is Uchiha Sasuke."
"They were fine yesterday, going to fight the Wind Flower Fury together. How did things turn out like this today? Naruto, this is bad."
After so many days of airing, not only Naruto Uzumaki, but also Sasuke Uchiha has many fans. Seeing their idols suddenly become like this, some people said they couldn't accept it, and discussions began in public squares around the world.
"Sigh! If I'm not mistaken, this scene means Uchiha Sasuke is about to escape Konoha." Some of the reborn individuals knew the inside story; seeing the Valley of the End, they roughly knew what had happened! After all, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto fought twice at the Valley of the End, leveling it completely. And since both Naruto and Sasuke later became famous figures in the ninja world, this event naturally became common knowledge.
"Defection? What do you mean? Explain yourself," someone asked.
"Yes, yes, tell us quickly!" Hearing that Uchiha Sasuke was going to defect, a large crowd slowly gathered around the reborn individual.
"Okay, I'll tell you! Here's what happened..." The reborn person slowly recounted the events.
"Orochimaru, this cursed seal is your doing, isn't it!" Jiraiya said. As one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya was very clear about Orochimaru's methods.
"The ninja world should be thanking me. Under my careful tutelage, Sasuke Uchiha's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he even saved the ninja world with Naruto Uzumaki," Orochimaru said, seemingly ignoring the question.
"It was because of your guidance that Sasuke Uchiha went down so many wrong paths and almost couldn't turn back," Tsunade said.
"That's none of my business. My dear Sarutobi-sensei knows far more about the Uchiha clan than I do. I'm only responsible for helping him become stronger; nothing else concerns me," Orochimaru said hoarsely.
Tsunade scoffed, knowing Orochimaru was telling the truth, and ignored him, continuing to watch the video. She remembered that for this mission, only Nara Shikamaru was a Chunin; the others were all Genin. This was because Konoha had just finished a war with Sunagakure and their strength hadn't recovered. All the Chunin and above had been sent out on missions, leaving only a few Genin. Even Nara Shikamaru was a newly promoted Chunin. Furthermore, the pursuers were severely injured; if they hadn't called for help from Sunagakure ninjas in time, the consequences could have been even worse.
In the video, Naruto clenched his fist and said, "Why? Sasuke, why did you become like this?!"
"What I become is none of your business," Sasuke Uchiha said coldly, looking at Naruto. "I have my own path, and no one, regardless of who they are, has any right to criticize me."
Upon seeing Sasuke's words, Naruto gritted his teeth, clearly angered.
"To put it bluntly, the days of me fooling around with you guys from the Wood Industry are over," Sasuke Uchiha said, ignoring Naruto Uzumaki, and continued, "Go back."
Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto recalled the experiences of everyone since he began chasing Sasuke. Some of his companions had even faced life-threatening situations. All they wanted was to bring Sasuke back. But the thought that he had finally caught up with him, only to receive such an answer, was unacceptable to Naruto!
"Everyone, everyone is desperately chasing you," Naruto whispered.
"That must have been hard work," Sasuke Uchiha replied coldly, ignoring everyone's kindness. After saying this, he continued walking forward.
"Sasuke Uchiha is going a bit too far with what he's saying! I remember back then, many Konoha ninjas were seriously injured because of him," Kankuro from Sunagakure said as he watched the video in the plaza.
"Yes! Fortunately, Lady Tsunade had already returned to Konoha by then, otherwise Konoha would have suffered a great loss. Even Naruto Uzumaki was seriously injured at that time!" As one of the Sand Village ninjas who rescued Konoha at that time, Temari knew the situation and couldn't help but say when she recalled the scene!
"What do you take our fellow timber industry workers for?"
In the video, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't hold back any longer after hearing Sasuke Uchiha's answer. He lunged forward, knocking Sasuke down and delivering a powerful punch.
Sasuke Uchiha was beaten until he coughed up blood, but he ignored his injuries.
"Pah!" Sasuke Uchiha spat blood onto Naruto Uzumaki's face.
This action further enraged Naruto, who grabbed Sasuke Uchiha with both hands, intending to teach him a lesson.
"You mean companions? With your so-called companions, can I become stronger? I want to go to Orochimaru's place," Sasuke Uchiha said, his tone unchanged, as cold as ever.
"Itachi, you must take good care of your younger brother from now on. Don't let him say such outrageous things like in the video." Uchiha Mikoto was also watching the video at this time, but she was watching it in the hospital. Through the hospital window, she could clearly see the video in the square, which was specially arranged by Uchiha Fugaku!
July is the month Uchiha Sasuke was born, and the 23rd is Uchiha Sasuke's birthday. Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto have already learned about the reborn from Tsunade, and even know their son Uchiha Sasuke's birthday in advance. In the ninja files, the birthday is the most basic information, and there is no need to hide it. However, in order to prevent any accidents, Uchiha Mikoto started to be hospitalized in July!
As for Itachi Uchiha, he is still 5 years old, so the two of them did not tell him about being a reincarnated person.
Chapter Sixty-Five: The Battle of the Valley of the End (Part 2)
"Yes, Mother," Itachi Uchiha replied obediently as he peeled an apple.
At the request of the Fourth Hokage and Shikamaru Nara, the Uchiha clan had moved into the village and gradually began to interact with the villagers. Furthermore, since Obito Uchiha was now a student of the Fourth Hokage, their interactions increased even more. Therefore, while there were still some dissenting voices within the Uchiha clan, most of them got along well with the village, and the conflicts were naturally not as intense as before.
"You'd better wake up already!" Naruto Uzumaki said.
In the video, Sasuke Uchiha begins his counterattack, kicking Naruto into the water and grabbing his ninja bag in the process! Naruto, naturally, wouldn't give up so easily; known for his unwavering determination, he quickly emerged from the water.
"I've already woken up, I envision a future where I can live peacefully with my comrades and you all every day!" Sasuke Uchiha looked down at Naruto Uzumaki and said, "I woke up from that foolish dream, so I left the village, so I sought power! My dream had no future, my dream was in the past." Images of his time with his brother flashed through Sasuke's mind: "It only exists in the past," he repeated.
At this point, Sasuke Uchiha began to harbor murderous intent, and he showed no mercy whatsoever.
"Actually, Sasuke Uchiha was also a pitiful person. He had to go through so much at such a young age," someone couldn't help but sigh after listening to the reborn person's story.
In the future, Naruto Uzumaki exonerated Itachi Uchiha, and as a hero, he received the treatment he deserved. However, Itachi's actions also became public knowledge, so many people learned about them.
"Yes! It's all Black Zetsu's fault. If he hadn't messed with the stone tablet, there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings. If Madara Uchiha hadn't defected, the Second Hokage wouldn't have been so wary of the Uchiha clan, and perhaps many things in the story would have been different."
"Exactly, it's really unfair for those who came before to bear the burden of the mistakes made by those who came before."
Perhaps Sasuke Uchiha's greatest fortune was having Naruto as a teammate.
"That's right, and it's great that the ninja world has achieved peace in their generation, and everyone can live in harmony."
At first, Sasuke's transformation was shocking. Later, after the explanation from the reborn, some people began to feel moved. However, when Sasuke used his Dragon Fire Technique to burn Naruto, many still couldn't accept it.
"That being said, Sasuke Uchiha still went too far; he showed absolutely no mercy."
"That's right, Naruto just wanted to save him, he didn't want anything to happen to him, why did he try to kill him?"
"That's right, this is trying to kill Naruto!"
Negative voices against Sasuke are growing in various countries, and even many who were previously Sasuke fans are starting to change their minds.
Naruto, aka Sasuke, successfully escaped and then immediately attacked Sasuke.
Sasuke Uchiha neither dodged nor avoided Naruto's punches. Naruto landed several blows in succession, but Sasuke just watched with disdain.
"Is that all?" Sasuke Uchiha said. "If that's all, it's fine if I don't need to use that yet."
"What?" Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed.
"Didn't you notice? I wasn't using my Sharingan."
"Don't underestimate me!" Sasuke's words enraged Naruto, and his fist slammed towards Sasuke.
However, Naruto's attack failed, and Sasuke Uchiha caught Naruto's fist with one hand.
"It's not enough! Power, and longing too," Sasuke Uchiha said. "It's impossible to gain this kind of power by playing games with you guys." He remembered what his brother had told him, and then attacked Naruto Uzumaki without any mercy, knocking Naruto to the ground in just a few moves.
"Sigh, it's all the fault of those who came before us." At this moment, in the Wood Industry Plaza, Fugaku Uchiha was also watching the video. He knew perfectly well why Sasuke Uchiha had become like this!
Minato and Tsunade had already told the couple about the future, including the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. Although they were aware of how things were unfolding, seeing Sasuke like this still pained him.
It wasn't just Fugaku Uchiha who was heartbroken; Kushina also looked unhappy at this moment.
"Mikoto's son is really outrageous. I even treated her to dinner when he saved Naruto, and I never expected him to do something so terrible to Naruto so soon." Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha are best friends, and their relationship is very close. After the memory sphere appeared, the two of them often got together to discuss their sons' behavior! But seeing how Sasuke Uchiha treated his child today, she said with some displeasure.
Sasuke casually tossed the bag he'd snatched from Naruto back to him, his mind drifting back to his childhood.
"Perhaps Uchiha Sasuke has been living in the past all along," someone said, watching the video of Uchiha Sasuke's memories! From a happy family life to the later destruction of his family!
"Yes! He never came over. Perhaps he died after Itachi Uchiha killed their family..."
"Those who were left behind are the most tragic. Whether it's Itachi Uchiha or Sasuke Uchiha, for them, they were already 'dead' after that night."
"Yes! His most respected older brother killed his parents. For Uchiha Sasuke, this blow was simply too great!"
"Perhaps, deep down he actually hoped his brother would kill him that night too! That way, he wouldn't have to live such a tiring life..."
Those in the square who already knew the truth said with some emotion!
The ninja world is a daily drama of bloodshed, hatred, revenge, slaughter, and death. Only after Naruto Uzumaki changed the ninja world did things improve.
But the world in the video is the original ninja world, a pitiful world that has not been changed!
"Therefore, we should cherish the present; at least we can reduce many mistakes."
"Exactly, I just wonder what will happen when the Uchiha clan sees this video and learns that they were wiped out by their own people."
"Sigh, I hope they don't do anything too extreme. I really don't want to see so much bloodshed in the ninja world anymore!"
"Yes! Hopefully, this can be resolved peacefully!"
Many people are deeply moved by Sasuke Uchiha's past, but even more are worried that the Uchiha clan might retaliate after learning of their massacre. Even the Fourth Hokage hastily deployed personnel to monitor the Uchiha clan!
Chapter Sixty-Six: The Battle of the Valley of the End (Part Two)
At this moment, everyone in the Uchiha clan's territory was discussing the matter. Some people looked incredulous, some were filled with anger, and some were filled with sorrow!
"Am I seeing things? Our Uchiha clan has been wiped out?" a member of the Uchiha clan exclaimed.
"Yes! And they were wiped out by the group leader's son, Uchiha Itachi?" someone questioned.
