Crossover Anime: Transmigrated as Sasuke, but Must Start from Prince of Tennis

As for whether they will choose the Sound Village in the future...

From the moment they started, they had no other choice in this situation.

After all, Konoha was beyond saving.

"Remember to let us know before you take action. We will not betray Konoha, but we will not stop the founder of Konoha from taking revenge."

Nara Shikaku made his stance clear this time: they would not pass on the information they saw here, nor would they help Sasuke's revenge plan.

What they want is to wait until everything is over and then choose the winner.

Of course, he also knew that this outcome wouldn't bring them much better treatment, but it was more suitable for their survival.

Chapter 285 Asuma's Death and Kakashi's Surrounding Attack

"The quiz game is over. You may all leave now. We look forward to welcoming you back to Otogakure next time!"

Ashura waved to the terrified group and opened a large door behind them.

The quiz game wasn't difficult for everyone else, except for Sarutobi Asuma, who was the only one to suffer.

Sarutobi Asuma is not dead yet, but he has indeed had his limbs cut off and is on the verge of death.

"Sound Village, Uchiha..."

Nara Shikaku, carrying Sarutobi Asuma's mangled body, glanced in Ashura's direction before quickly running away.

The limbs left on the ground were picked up by Shuiyue, who emerged from the shadows, intending to keep them as spare materials, even though they might not be used.

How did we get here?

When the group returned, they suddenly realized that they were not near the Sound Village at all, but had arrived at the Valley of the End.

The gate closed and disappeared behind them, and when they looked up, they saw a huge statue of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju standing opposite each other.

"Sarutobi Asuma, this is where your end will come."

A voice suddenly rang out, and Itachi Uchiha, dressed in a black robe with red clouds, sat on the head of Madara Uchiha's statue, looking down at the people of the five great ninja villages in the valley below.

"Uchiha Itachi, it really was you!"

Sarutobi Asuma is still alive. Even in his current state, he can still glare at Uchiha Itachi, attempting to kill him with his eyes.

Unfortunately, he wasn't from the Uchiha clan, so his eyes couldn't kill.

"Sarutobi Asuma, it's over!"

Uchiha Itachi, high above, sighed, and then saw Sarutobi Asuma's remaining torso explode in an instant, leaving only his head, which was then snatched away by another figure in a black robe with red clouds.

Having just emerged from their chakra depletion state and still recovering, none of the others remembered to give chase, and the person had already vanished without a trace.

The speed wasn't very fast, but the instinct to escape seemed quite strong.

The most unlucky one was Nara Shikaku, who was covered in blood from the explosion and stood there dumbfounded.

He didn't know about this beforehand!

"Shikaku... Nara Shikaku, where are you hurt?"

Several figures rushed over after hearing the noise. A man with light yellow hair appeared anxiously beside Nara Shikaku and reached out to pull off his clothes to check his injuries.

"No... I'm not hurt, it's Asuma..."

Nara Shikaku looked at his friend, sighed, and looked completely dejected.

"What happened to Asuma?"

The white-haired, masked Konoha ninja also appeared. Seeing Nara Shikaku covered in blood and with barely any chakra, he had a bad feeling.

Their mission this time seems to have had the worst possible outcome.

"It's blown up, completely gone..."

Nara Shikaku's voice was very soft, but everyone could hear it clearly.

Seeing Nara Shikaku collapse with his eyes closed before he could finish speaking, Yamanaka Inoichi was busy checking on him, while Hatake Kakashi kept his eyes on the others around him.

"This has nothing to do with us. It's all Konoha's own doing. We just never expected that the Third Hokage of Konoha, who prides himself on being merciful, would actually do something like destroying the Senju and Uchiha clans. It's truly an eye-opener!"

The bandaged man from Sunagakure laughed, and he laughed very happily.

Their relationship with Sunagakure and Konoha wasn't very good, and some of his relatives had died at the hands of Konoha ninjas.

Seeing Konoha in internal strife is incredibly satisfying.

"It's truly unimaginable. Speaking of which, there's the Uzumaki clan, who were practically part of Konoha, right? Could their destruction have been orchestrated by the Third Hokage?"

The long-legged beauty from Iwagakure covered her mouth and chuckled. Anyway, they were just watching the show, and now that they knew Konoha's secret, everyone except Konoha was on the same side.

Watching the excitement in Konoha together is truly fantastic.

"That's not all! The Fourth Hokage was so famous back then that he forced the Third Hokage to abdicate while he was still alive. But as you all know, the Fourth Hokage only served for a short time before dying, and his death was truly tragic!"

People from Kirigakure also came to join in the fun.

"I heard that the Jinchuriki of Konoha is the child left behind by the Fourth Hokage and his wife, but the village of Konoha beats and scolds the child every day. They are inhuman. This must be the Third Hokage taking revenge on purpose!"

The short-haired blonde female ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Whether it's true or false, nobody knows, but they're quite united in their efforts to cause trouble for Konoha.

At least in their village, no one dared to persecute the descendants of the first founder. Konoha is truly extraordinary; it directly exterminated the two major families that founded the village.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, they're enjoying the gossip, and if they go back and spread it around, they can make Konoha the target of everyone's criticism.

The so-called number one ninja village was nothing more than the Senju and Uchiha clans of that time.

Now that the extermination of these two clans has been confirmed to be the work of the Third Hokage, if they want to go further, the four great ninja villages might have a chance to destroy Konoha if they join forces.

They should really plan this out carefully once they get back.

What are you talking about?

Kakashi Hatake's eye glared at him, wondering how he could be unaware of so many of Konoha's secrets.

However, some things are true, such as the Uchiha clan massacre and the orphans of the Fourth Hokage and his wife...

Could it be that the other information is also true?

Did the three generations really do those things?

"Yo! Isn't this the copy ninja Kakashi Hatake?!"

You are a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, so do you know if the parents of Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, were the Fourth Hokage and his wife?

You should know that the Uzumaki clan was wiped out. Kushina Uzumaki married the Fourth Hokage and didn't change her surname, just to preserve the Uzumaki name.

Their child will definitely have the surname Uzumaki, and only the Uzumaki clan can become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki; these are generally accepted facts.

As this child's father's student, have you ever taken care of him even a little? At least made sure he's fed properly, instead of letting him starve to death and rely on the Nine-Tailed Fox for survival, as the legends say?

The other ninjas who had been separated earlier also gathered around, and one of them from Kirigakure stared at Kakashi Hatake and bombarded him with questions.

However, everyone could already tell the answer to his questions from his words.

This isn't curiosity; it's clearly an attack on Kakashi Hatake for neglecting his teacher's child and letting the child struggle between life and death.

"Where did you get all this information from?"

For the first time, Kakashi Hatake realized that wearing a mask had one advantage: it prevented people from seeing his expression.

What does it mean to let a child go hungry?

What do you mean by everyone knowing that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is Naruto Uzumaki?

Is this really common knowledge already?

"Everyone knows which village doesn't have people from other ninja villages, so you don't need to try to hide it."

The Nine-Tails is too special. None of our villages have the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan to serve as a Jinchūriki. Even if we knew from the beginning, no one would have tried to take it.

You, as a disciple, are really unreliable. You didn't even bother to help. We often wonder if the Fourth Hokage had some special grudge against you back then.

"Since we're all free right now, could you explain this to us?"

The ninja continued to light the Eight Trigrams Fire, and the other ninjas around, regardless of which village they came from, all nodded in agreement, then waited expectantly for Kakashi Hatake to explain himself.

This is a gossip moment where you get to know the people involved directly. You can get firsthand information and brag about it to your friends and family when you get back.

Of course, one can also take this opportunity to find clues to use when dealing with Konoha in the future.

Chapter 286 Orochimaru and the Fourth Raikage are fighting.

"No, none of what you're talking about exists..."

Kakashi Hatake had no choice but to deny it; he didn't know what else to say.

Some of the information is true, but some...

It's probably fake, right?

"See? Kakashi Hatake didn't even care about his father's death, so why would he care about a teacher? Remember to treat me to barbecue when you get back, and see if you dare to bet with me again!"

"No way, his father was forced to his death by Konoha. He was still young then, so it's not surprising he didn't feel anything. As for that Naruto Uzumaki thing, it's still unresolved. Don't try to get me a barbecue meal for nothing..."

"I don't care, you lost anyway!"

"No, I haven't lost yet! You ungrateful bastard from Konoha, can you say something useful? I can't let you fool me and I lose the money for a barbecue!"

The two, still arguing, eventually turned their attention back to Kakashi.

They even gave him a rather unpleasant nickname.

"Ungrateful wretch" is an insult, but Kakashi Hatake is currently in a daze and doesn't realize that the two are talking about him.

His mind was filled with only two images: his father being forced to commit suicide at home, and Naruto being beaten and verbally abused in the street, something he had once witnessed...

Is Konoha still the Konoha he knows?

After several years of firm belief, he was once again at a loss.

What exactly is wrong? Why does it feel like he no longer recognizes Konoha, let alone the Third Hokage and the leadership?

"Kakashi!"
