When Sasuke, who was engrossed in training, woke up again, it was already noon. Outside the room where he had been staying, the ANBU ninjas were already discussing whether or not to go in and check.

Before they could reach a decision, Sasuke had already opened the door and stood in the sunlight in the courtyard.

"Mom and Dad, I'll kill him, I'll definitely kill him..."

Standing in the sunlight, Sasuke looked up, the blinding sunlight causing tears to well up in his eyes.

'Sasuke...my child...'

Inside the room, the long-haired, spirit-like woman saw Sasuke's tears and began to cry as well.

She was heartbroken seeing Sasuke's condition yesterday, but she couldn't get close to him at all.

The couple were dead. After their deaths, they didn't see any other members of their clan; they remained in this room, only appearing when Sasuke returned...

'Mikoto...'

Fugaku Uchiha stood beside his wife, looking at Sasuke in the yard, his Mangekyou Sharingan surfacing once more.

He didn't know what was wrong with the child, but there was nothing they could do but watch.

"Uchiha Sasuke, this is your allowance for this month. It will be sent to you on the first of every month thereafter. Take a few days off and come back to school early; everyone is worried about you..."

At noon, Iruka, with a scar on his face and nose, arrived and gave Sasuke a money pouch containing his living expenses.

After checking on Sasuke's condition, he ultimately just told him to go back to class as soon as possible.

He seemed unable to say anything else.

The former young master became an orphan. Although the Uchiha clan had a bad reputation, he didn't think it had anything to do with a child.

"Um..."

Holding the money pouch, Sasuke nodded and gave a somewhat ambiguous response only after Iruka had already left.

With the money pouch in hand, Sasuke returned to his room, opened the door, and began to inspect the pouch.

There's a fair amount of money in my purse; if I eat three bowls of Ichiraku ramen a day, it should be just about enough.

But he needed to go to school and buy some ninja tools for training, so the money was not enough.

However, whether it's enough or not, let's leave it at that for now.

He doesn't need to train with ninja tools right now, and even physical training can be done in the simplest way.

"Boss, a bowl of ramen, please."

In the evening, Sasuke finally went out into the village and found Ichiraku Ramen.

Under the tacitly sympathetic gazes of Uncle Ichiraku and his daughter, an ordinary bowl of ramen was given extra pieces of meat.

Without saying anything, Sasuke paid and left, heading towards the market as he remembered the route.

He didn't need to come here before, but things are different now.

Sasuke bought some vegetables that didn't require cooking, and on his way back he also bought instant noodles, before carrying a whole bunch of them home.

Although he was carrying a lot, he was still young and small, so he couldn't carry too much.

He didn't encounter a single story mission along the way, even after school.

When night fell again, and after he curled up in the corner and fell asleep once more, the black cat that had been on Sasuke's shoulder left.

Because he was in spirit form, no one except the couple in the room who were also spirits could see Asura's presence.

After leaving the vicinity of Konoha Village, Ashura jumped down from the tree, and the moment he tumbled to the ground, he transformed into human form, completely different from Sasuke.

Chapter 257 I am Uchiha Sasuke, but I am not just Uchiha Sasuke

"Master, this seasoning tastes really good. I wish I had brought more. This little bit won't last for many more years..."

Ashura the kitten perched on Sasuke's shoulder. The two of them were currently at the Valley of the End.

The seasonings we use to marinate the grilled fish we eat now were prepared in the last century.

Not only were there marinade ingredients, but also various utensils for frying, stir-frying, and cooking. After Sasuke discovered that the Shikon Jewel had stored the teleportation well, he simply set aside an area to store his daily necessities.

Therefore, regardless of whether the living expenses provided by Konoha are enough, he will not allow himself to be truly restricted in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

As for the fact that Uchiha Sasuke is constantly being monitored...

What is the purpose of shadow clones?

The modified Flying Thunder God Technique isn't just for showing off.

Moreover, there's the protection that Huan Yin occasionally provides when she wakes up.

Let alone the Anbu, even if Itachi Uchiha went back now, he wouldn't be able to tell if that child was really Sasuke Uchiha.

As for whether he will be discovered after he comes out...

With the bone mask on his face, his hair a bit longer, and wearing a fitted long trench coat from Hueco Mundo, no one would ever guess that he was related to Sasuke Uchiha.

"That's about it. This one kind will last us for several years. We also have more than ten other varieties, all of which are your favorites..."

Sasuke reached out and patted Ashura's fluffy little head, feeling very happy.

He is Uchiha Sasuke, but he is not Uchiha Sasuke of the Uchiha clan.

He was ruthless, truly ruthless; he couldn't bring himself to be sincere with anyone.

Let's keep training hard!

He'll try to go back to the Prince of Tennis world once he finishes the storyline in this world.

In that world, he had family and friends.

At least, he can still feel the presence of family and friendship in that world.

As for Aizen in the Bleach world...

That guy, it's good enough if he doesn't cause trouble for me.

He was a playmate, but also a mischievous friend who could switch roles and become an adversary at any time...

"Master, are you really not bothered by this world..."

Ashura ate a few fish, then shrank back into Sasuke's arms and voiced the worry that had always been in his heart.

He could truly sense that his master had been particularly unhappy ever since he came into this world.

“It’s okay. Even if my identity is tragic, I don’t necessarily have to confine myself to that identity.”

Sasuke slowly ate the grilled fish in one hand, while stroking the fur of the little black cat nestled in his arms with the other.

He's just portraying a madman whose mental world is twisted.

He dislikes everyone in this world, so he has nothing to worry about.

The system hasn't said a word since it sent him here, and I wonder how long it can hold out.

"As long as Master is happy, I will always stay with Master, and little Huan Yin will always be here too..."

Ashura rolled over, exposing her belly, and clung to Sasuke's hand with her little paws, rubbing her head against his palm.

The cat's affectionate cuddling and comforting gesture made Sasuke look down, then smile and continue eating his grilled fish.

But those less-than-pleasant feelings vanished completely after the cat's affectionate gestures, like smoke blown away by a strong wind.

After eating and drinking their fill, Sasuke and Ashura practiced sparring for half the night at the Valley of the End. As dawn approached, they returned to their room in the Uchiha clan compound once again.

"Um..."

The small figure, who had been huddled in the corner all night, suddenly fell forward, injuring its head. The child got up, stared with big cat eyes, opened the door, and walked into the yard.

As dawn approached, the ANBU ninjas in the courtyard were getting sleepy.

Upon seeing Sasuke walk out the door, they instantly perked up.

Sasuke came to the courtyard and did nothing but stare blankly at the sky, looking at the moon that was about to disappear.

He was wondering if he could catch up with the school's curriculum if he went to school now.

The memory is a bit distant; if he had taken exams when he got to school, he might have had to take Naruto's place as the worst student.

But you still have to go to ninja school, no matter which world you're in; it's always good to learn more.

So, what should we eat for breakfast?

Having just finished eating, he was already thinking about breakfast again, but his absent-mindedness worried the Anbu ninjas, who then hurried to report to the Third Hokage.

"I'm going to class now, see you tonight!"

After dawn, Sasuke took a shower, went back to his room to change into clean clothes, and then, as always, stood in front of the door to say hello before leaving.

This suddenly felt like a return to a scene from a few months ago, leaving Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, who were still in the house, feeling conflicted.

This time, after Sasuke left, they thought they would disappear again for a while, but the black cat that had followed Sasuke for some reason suddenly appeared in front of them with leisurely steps.

"Fugaku Uchiha, Mikoto Uchiha, now you can make a choice: go to the Pure Land and wait for reincarnation with the other souls, or stay here and continue to take care of Sasuke Uchiha."

Ashura stood on the floor, looking at the couple with stiff expressions, waiting for their choice.

He didn't actually want the two souls to stay, but his master said he wanted to see how the couple behaved.

"who are you?"

Fugaku Uchiha sat down in front of Ashura, looking at the black cat before him. He needed to know the cat's identity first.

And why should they be made to make this choice?

"I have an identity as a Grim Reaper, but not the one you think I am. The focus now is not on me, but on your choices. Please give me your answers within half an hour. I need to go back and stay with Sasuke."

Ashura yawned. He didn't actually want to reveal any information. He hoped the two of them would hurry up and choose to go to the Pure Land.

"If we stay, will we just be stuck here forever...?"

Mikoto Uchiha knelt beside her; she wanted to stay.

But if they are trapped here, they will be unable to take care of Sasuke, or even get close to Sasuke's life.

“I will not answer any questions until you make your choice, but there is one thing I can tell you that is unrelated to your choice.”

Ashura looked at the couple, a smirk playing on his lips, his eyes filled with malice.

"A few years later, Sasuke Uchiha will kill Itachi Uchiha with his own hands."
