The two sons fought each other, and only one could survive.

So, are you going to stay here and wait to see, or go to the Pure Land and wait directly for Itachi Uchiha's soul?

"I choose to go to the Pure Land!"

Fugaku Uchiha made a choice: he didn't want to stay here, and he didn't want to see one of his two sons die in the end.

Moreover, he is already dead, so there is no need for him to continue to linger in the world of the living.

"I...I want to stay. I haven't seen Sasuke grow up yet..."

For the first time, Mikoto Uchiha made a different choice from her husband.

Even if her child is trapped here forever, she wants to stay and see him from afar...

Chapter 258 School: Sasuke and Naruto

"Please confirm your choices one last time. Are you sure you don't want to change them?"

Ashura continued to watch the two, not in a hurry to send the one who was leaving away.

"Mikoto... there's no use in you staying. Sasuke has his own path to follow. Can you really bear to stay and watch those brothers kill each other?"

Fugaku Uchiha sighed, looked at his wife beside him, and wanted to persuade her to go to the Pure Land together.

"Even if they become brothers and kill each other in the future, I want to stay. I will wait, wait for Sasuke to grow up, and wait until Itachi is like us and we won't be afraid..."

Mikoto Uchiha shook her head; she was determined to stay.

It was painful to watch her two children become enemies and be powerless to do anything about it.

But she was willing to endure this pain; it was the punishment she deserved for failing to protect her two children.

She was the one who brought them into the world.

As a mother, choosing death before her child grows up is her sin...

"I'll stay too, I'll keep you company..."

Seeing his wife's pained expression, Fugaku Uchiha stopped thinking about leaving and decided to stay and suffer with her.

Whether it's pain or despair, he can't let Mikoto bear it all alone.

"If you don't leave now, it won't be so easy for you to leave later. Are you sure you want to stay?"

Ashura's eyes looked a little uneasy as he saw that the two of them wanted to stay, but he still made them confirm once again.

"We will stay."

The couple were in sync this time.

"Alright, since you've stayed, don't just sit around doing nothing. Here's a cultivation method for you. If you cultivate diligently for a few years, you'll be able to go out and see the world."

Ashura tossed the two modified artificial bodies to the two souls, and then casually taught them a basic cultivation method.

However, this prosthetic body is not just a modified version, it is also sealed.

They certainly can't go out in the short term, but if they work hard to cultivate for a few years and learn to use basic soul power, the seal can be removed from them.

"Thank you!"

Although they didn't know the cat's situation, the couple still sincerely thanked them.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan had a long history with cats, and after the black cat disappeared, the couple suddenly had a guess.

Legend has it that there are several sacred sites and immortals, and this cat...

However, they can only think about it and cannot ask now.

I'm just waiting to cultivate to a certain level so I can go out and see what's going on. If I can find a way to stop brothers from killing each other, that would be the best outcome.

Although the couple here felt that their cultivation was useless at first, they still had something to strive for.

On the other side, after Sasuke arrived at the school, he looked around at the gazes of the people around him and felt somewhat lost.

At that time, the students were all only 8 years old, right?

Sympathy, mockery, smugness, and...

What kind of look is that? Do you like him?

Aspirations?

These young people, aren't you all a little too complicated?

"Move aside, I'll sit inside."

Sasuke mentally scoffed, but still walked coldly to Naruto's side, kicked his stool, and made the guy move aside.

Actually, his relationship with Naruto wasn't that bad before.

At most, they won't say nice things to each other, but they'll help each other when they see the other being bullied or surrounded by people.

"Ah? Sasuke, you're back. I heard your family... mmm..."

Naruto stood up and made way for Sasuke to enter, but he immediately started asking about certain topics that had been seriously warned against being discussed.

Fortunately, someone nearby sensed something was about to happen and quickly covered Naruto's mouth, making him swallow his words.

"Everyone in my family except me is dead. What else do you want to ask?"

Sasuke sat down, looked up at Naruto whose mouth was covered, and at Shikamaru standing behind Naruto whose hand seemed to have been bitten.

Hearing his cold reply, the students in the classroom were all frightened and quickly sat up straight; they were still somewhat afraid after all.

The word "death" is still somewhat distant for these students at the ninja academy.

"Well... I just heard it from them... Anyway, don't be sad. You see, I don't have any family either. I've been alone since I was little..."

Naruto returned to his seat, quietly reached out and touched Sasuke's arm twice, and when Sasuke turned around, he tried to find something to say to comfort him.

However, Sasuke, aside from turning his head to continue looking out the window, did not want to give any response for the time being.

It's hardly a pleasant sight to see a child who has never had a family comforting another child who has just lost their entire family.

"It's been quite quiet today. We're about to start class... Sasuke's here. Come to my office after class; you still need to catch up on the lessons you missed..."

Iruka walked into the classroom with his textbook, initially thinking that the students had all learned their lesson, but then he noticed Sasuke looking out the window.

I told Sasuke to come with me after class, but the rest of the lessons will continue.

As Iruka explained, Sasuke took notes, memorizing each piece of information. His previously hazy memories were reconnected once again.

After the morning classes ended, Sasuke followed Iruka to the office under Naruto's hesitant gaze.

Although his combat prowess might not be the best, Iruka is genuinely very attentive when teaching his students.

Moreover, at noon, he even went out of his way to buy Sasuke a meal, so that Sasuke would take a few more glances at him.

"Sasuke, how much of this can you remember? The shuriken test is this afternoon, but since you've just recovered, you don't need to participate. I'll explain that part to you later..."

Iruka checked the time; the afternoon classes were about to begin.

But Sasuke was studying so hard that he was worried about whether the boy could actually learn it.

After all, even geniuses need time to learn from missing several months of classes.

"I've almost memorized it. I can participate in the shuriken test this afternoon, Teacher Iruka. You know my situation; not only can I not slack off at all, but I also need to work harder than the other students..."

Sasuke closed the book, stood up, looked at Iruka, and refused his special treatment.

His current task is to study and maintain his status as a genius in school.

"Okay, then work hard! Your teacher looks forward to seeing your performance!"

Iruka felt even more sorrowful, but he couldn't show it.

He led Sasuke back to the classroom, and then, together with the other students, headed towards the shuriken test area for the afternoon.

It's actually just a training ground, and there are many of these within the Konoha Academy.

"Now, we'll conduct the shuriken test. Everyone, quiet down, line up, and take your turn..."

Iruka stood to the side with his notebook, watching the students who had just been brought to the playground start chatting, and some even wanted to leave the group. He immediately felt a headache coming on.

Looking back at Sasuke beside him, and Naruto obediently following him, he realized for the first time that Naruto had actually learned to behave.

It seems that in the future, when forming groups, we can try to put Naruto and Sasuke together, which will reduce a lot of trouble.

As for Sasuke's studies...

This child not only needs to study, but also needs to communicate more with others, even if it's just arguing, to release their emotions.

Naruto Uzumaki would be a good fit, because even if nothing's wrong, he can always cause some trouble.

Chapter 259 They were too noisy during the kunai throwing training.

"Zusuke-kun is amazing!"

"So cool!"

! ”

"Zasuke-kun is so handsome!"

On the playground, as Zuo Zhu hit the bullseye with every single kunai, the girls around him screamed.

Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka, in particular, were shouting the loudest, which made Sasuke frown.

"You guys are making a lot of noise and it's affecting my training. Can you shut up?"

Zuo Zhu turned to look at the girls. They were just kids. Was it really okay for them to be so annoying?

"Sasuke-kun talked to me! Even when Sasuke-kun is angry, he looks so cool!"

Sakura Haruno, who was resting her chin on her hands, screamed, and Sasuke automatically muted her.

"Uchiha Sasuke, you got a perfect score on this test!"

Umino Yoruka reported Sasuke's test results and then moved on to the next person.

The next test subject behind Sasuke was Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto walked onto the stage with trembling fingers, his kunai shaking, his whole being exuding tension.
