Chapter 144 Orochimaru, the Difficult One to Kill

To be fair, Itachi Uchiha's behavior was indeed extremely perverted.

For the sake of Konoha, they did not hesitate to forcibly change Sasuke's will.

So here's the question: Did Itachi love Sasuke more, or did he love Konoha more?

The massacre of the entire clan could be seen as a way to protect Sasuke from persecution by the village after his clan was suppressed by Konoha.

Conversely, it could also be said that it was for Konoha.

The strength of the Uchiha clan is evident to all in the ninja world.

If the clan rebels against Konoha, regardless of who the final victor is, Konoha will suffer heavy losses.

Giving Sasuke his own eyes, allowing Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan so that he no longer has to worry about going blind, is enough to prove his love for Sasuke.

At the same time, he also wanted to use Shisui's eyes to modify Sasuke's will, as if to say that he didn't love his younger brother that much.

It's really hard to say whether he loves his younger brother or the village more.

"Teacher, what do you think of Itachi?"

In Tobirama's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi's feelings for Itachi were complicated.

He both admired Itachi's dedication to protecting the village and was somewhat disgusted by his behavior towards his younger brother.

On a personal level, he couldn't quite accept Itachi like this.

But from the village's perspective, the more people like Itachi who protect the village, the better.

"Me? I don't like Uchiha Itachi."

"Huh? Why?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised.

He thought that Itachi's actions in protecting the village would please Tobirama-sensei.

After all, he was an Uchiha.

"It's right to protect the village, but you also need to be mindful of the methods and approaches. The rest is up to you to figure out."

Hiruzen: "."

Even Tobirama Senju couldn't do anything about it.

He's the Hokage of the village.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi thought, Tobirama could never have too many Uchiha like that.

But he would never change his brother's will for the sake of the village.

When Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha established Konoha, it was to protect their families.

Hashirama was ambitious and treated everyone who joined the village as family.

Madara didn't have such grand ambitions; before building the village, he only wanted to protect his younger brother, Izuna.

As a result, Izuna was killed by Tobirama.

After the village was established, Madara originally wanted to protect the Uchiha clan, but when he was about to leave, his clansmen chose to betray him, leaving him alone in Konoha.

The actions of Hashirama and Madara show that family is more important than the village.

However, Hashirama treated everyone in the village as family, which is why he fought against the returning Uchiha Madara in order to protect the village.

Anyway, Tobirama Senju felt that he didn't have the same magnanimity as his older brother Hashirama.

If he had to choose between his younger brother and the village, he would definitely choose his younger brother.

Of course, he couldn't say this outright; he could only let Hiruzen Sarutobi figure it out for himself.

After killing Orochimaru, Sasuke teamed up with his classmates from Sound Ninja University to form the Snake Squad.

The team's purpose was simple: to kill Itachi Uchiha.

Despite Itachi being seriously ill and nearing his physical limit, he and Sasuke agreed to a duel three days later.

"Heh, I never thought I'd die at Sasuke's hands."

On the screen, Orochimaru used the Reanimation Jutsu to try and take over Sasuke's body, but was unexpectedly killed by Sasuke.

Orochimaru wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he found it quite entertaining.

"What a strange person, he can still laugh when he sees himself dying."

Naruto's voice came from the side, making Orochimaru smile again.

"Naruto, I'm very hard to kill."

"You're lying. The image on the screen clearly shows you dying at Sasuke's hands."

"Is that so?" Orochimaru asked Sasuke, whose face was extremely pale. "Sasuke-kun also believes I will die by your hand?"

Sasuke sneered upon hearing this, "I don't believe you'll be killed by me so easily."

"Hehe, it seems Sasuke-kun understands me best."

"Of course, how could a disgusting creature like you die so easily?"

"It's really hurtful. I'm your teacher, can't you say something nice to me?"

"Nice words? Do they even make sense?"

"Hmm, it doesn't seem to make much sense."

"That settles it then."

"Sasuke-kun is really not cute."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Sasuke didn't reply this time; he stared intently at the screen, which was showing his battle with Itachi.

During their fight, Itachi's acting skills shone through once again. He pretended to gouge out Sasuke's eyes (for his own use), but in reality, he had no intention of harming Sasuke whatsoever. Furthermore, he even acted as a scorer for Sasuke's strength.

He mainly tested Sasuke on these points.

First: Illusion.

[Assessment criterion: After putting VR glasses on the opponent, do they experience a sense of immersion?]

Second: Shuraken (shuriken).

[Assessment criteria: Does it involve any flashy or innovative techniques that catch the eye?]

[Third point: Physical skills.]

[Key assessment point: After taking so many drugs from Orochimaru, can he become a champion in a traditional triathlon?]

[Thus, after a series of tests, Itachi Uchiha felt that the Sound Ninja Academy's education of Sasuke was effective, but not enough.]

However, Itachi Uchiha's current physical condition is not very good, and he doesn't have much time left for Sasuke.

At this moment, all Itachi can do is free Sasuke from Orochimaru's cursed seal and push Sasuke to his limit before he dies.

[After Sasuke unleashed his S-rank ninjutsu Kirin, Susanoo was used to block it.]

After Itachi successfully withstood the Kirin attack, Sasuke's side was also exhausted.

Just then, Orochimaru, who was inside Sasuke, seized the opportunity to emerge and attempt to take over his body.

"As expected, you're not that easy to kill. But can you explain to me why you, on the light screen, managed to emerge from my curse seal?"

Hearing Sasuke's slightly reproachful words, Orochimaru shrugged and replied, "In order to achieve immortality, I created the Reanimation Jutsu. The key to this technique is to transfer one's own soul into the body of the person whose soul has been taken, thereby achieving a comprehensive invasion from body to soul."

"To create such a technique for the sake of immortality, you truly live up to your name, Cold Lord."

"Thank you for the compliment. Getting back to the point, since I was able to create the Reincarnation of the Undying in order to achieve immortality, it makes perfect sense that I would put fragments of my soul into a cursed seal in order to be resurrected after death."

"So, as long as you don't kill all of us with the cursed mark, you can be resurrected no matter how many times you die?"

"Hehe, more or less."

"Originally, your soul would be damaged once for each reincarnation. In order to revive, your soul had to be split and placed into a curse seal. No wonder your illusion resistance is so low."

"These are necessary means in order to achieve immortality."

"Whether you're physically or mentally disgusting, Orochimaru."

"Sasuke-kun, you've hurt me again."

"Really? I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, I forgive you!"

"hehe."

"hehe."
