Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 146 The Intention Was Good

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Inside Sasuke's residence, Byakuya wielded dozens of pens with incredible speed, writing swiftly and boldly throughout the house.

After writing each page, he would toss it aside, and then Sasuke would pick it up and read it. Even the Uchiha's reading speed couldn't keep up with Byakuya's typing speed.

"The series is complete! Hooray!"

After a long while, Bai Ye strummed the collected manuscripts and said with a satisfied expression that he had copied the entire Naruto novel in just a few hours.

During this time, Sasuke skimmed through the text, picking out the parts about himself and reading them, and he also saw the parts about his brother.

"Uchiha Itachi, he really is..." Sasuke held a page of the manuscript, looking at Obito's explanation of him, and trembled all over.

"That's right. After killing your entire family to protect Konoha, he fled and became a rogue ninja," Byakuya said casually. "Now, what do you think?"

"Although what he did was really outrageous, he really liked you. He even accepted the death of his own parents, but he still insisted on keeping you with him."

"Were you moved after learning the truth, and did you want to forgive him?" Bai Ye asked, her words piercing to the heart.

"How could I possibly forgive this!" Sasuke gritted his teeth, his hands gripping the manuscript paper, his whole body trembling violently.

"Both his parents died because of him, and in the end, he used his own death to atone for his sins. It's not that simple."

"Being stubborn won't help. I know you're wavering right now. After all, in the end, you forgave him," Bai Ye said with a smile.

"Think it over carefully before making your decision, so you don't regret it later," Bai Ye said.

Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. From an outsider's perspective, Itachi is certainly a beast, but for Sasuke, who is only 12 years old, his dearest brother, although mentally challenged and harmed the entire clan, truly loves him. Anyone would be devastated by this situation.

Of course, it's true that the entire Uchiha clan is insane.

According to the setting of the anime Itachi no Den, Fugaku also had a Mangekyou Sharingan. In the case of the night of the massacre, he had an elite Uchiha clan with two and a half pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, plus the Nine-Tails controlled by the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Given the small, insignificant village of Konoha at the time, even if the rebellion hadn't succeeded, at least escaping the village and preserving the lives of one's clan wouldn't have been a problem.

Not to mention, given Obito's level of hatred for Konoha, if Itachi asked him for help—a good thing that would weaken Konoha—he might not just stand by and watch, but he might even join in on the spot to lend a hand.

As a result, what was originally a 50/50 or even 28/30 situation was turned around by an incredible series of plays.

When Fugaku saw his son, he chose to commit suicide instead of resisting. Obito, who was about to leave, was invited by Itachi to kill his own clansmen. This move can only be described as amazing.

Sasuke stared at the manuscript in his hands, remaining silent for a long time, his heart filled with turmoil. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what Itachi does, Konoha must be destroyed!"

"Oh, really? If you destroy Konoha, your friends there will be heartbroken and might even hate you," Byakuya added, leaving Sasuke silent once more.

"This is what bonds are!" Byakuya sighed inwardly, looking at Uchiha Sasuke's expression.

It is this tangled web of interconnected relationships that hinders progress and slows down your sword-wielding speed.

Bai Ye shook the manuscript in his hand and said, "Think about it carefully. I'll leave for a bit."

"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked, looking up.

"Of course, we'll spread this manuscript." Bai Ye activated his ethereal form and slowly descended through the wall.

There's still a month until the official competition, and it's a bit rushed to let the whole continent see it in such a short time.

Half a day later, Kakashi approached Sasuke and asked, "Sasuke, where is Byakuya-kun from yesterday?"

Looking at his teacher, Sasuke suppressed his various questions and asked, "He's already gone back. He said he'll come back to watch the game in a month. What happened?"

"According to the investigation, his identity may be false; no emperor of any country looks like that."

Kakashi said, then glanced at Sasuke and added, "If you see Byakuya next time, remember to let us know."

Sasuke nodded, and Kakashi hesitated for a moment: "There's still a month until the official competition. Let me teach you one of my unique techniques."

"Chidori..." Sasuke thought to himself, then nodded slightly. No matter what choices he made in the future, improving his strength was never a bad thing.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye traveled alone through the five great nations, and under duress and enticement, successfully got the publisher to print the entire manuscript without revealing his face, and then sell it to the public.

After resolving this matter, Bai Ye chose to return to Marvel, intending to let the public opinion there take a while and give the Naruto natives and reincarnators a little spoiler.

Inside the White House in New York, as White Night appeared, Kingpin and his men immediately stood up from their seats.

"Mr. Bai, your phone." Kingpin respectfully presented the item in his hand: a new phone, a 1:1 replica of the phone that Bai Ye had destroyed before, inside a plain white box.

Taking the phone casually, Bai Ye looked at Rodriguez and said, "Kingpin said you were going to give me a surprise?"

"Actually, it's like this," Rodriguez slowly explained, "like this, like this, and like this."

"Hmm?" After hearing Rodriguez's plan, Bai Ye frowned slightly and said, "This is your own idea."

The other party immediately held his breath and said, "Mr. Bai, please forgive me, my intention was good."

"But the execution was flawed. Your actions were somewhat presumptuous. Remember, there won't be a next time." Bai Ye tapped the table lightly, a slight smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes." Rodriguez bowed and nodded vigorously.

"Stop flattering us, they're gone," Stark said from the side. Sure enough, the area in front of him was empty; the people from White Night had vanished.

Outside the White House, Bai Ye picked up her phone and dialed the number she had called before. After a few rings, the call was answered.

"It's me, Bai Ye." He said with a slight smile, "I've been very busy lately, so I only have time to contact you now. You're not angry, are you?"

"It's okay, my life has been pretty chaotic lately too," a pleasant female voice said in a somewhat dejected tone.

"It's the weekend today, so how about I take you out to have some fun? You wait for me at home now," Bai Ye said.

"...Okay." Gwen said hesitantly on the other end of the phone.

Bai Ye gently hung up the phone, a smug smile appearing on his face.

Rodriguez did a good job; if he wanted something, nothing could escape his grasp.
