Chapter 106 The Death of Sasuke
Chapter 106 The Death of Sasuke
Kakashi, having stopped the enraged Naruto, felt both amused and relieved, thankful that Naruto hadn't managed to unleash the Fairy Law.
After all, Mavis had previously emphasized the dangers of the fairy law.
However, Kakashi's gaze subtly swept over Naruto's hand, and he couldn't help but admire Mavis's reliability.
With the restrictions set up by Mavis, even if Naruto hadn't failed just now, he probably wouldn't have been able to use it until he completely mastered the Fairy Laws.
On the other hand, the power of Susanoo is undeniable, but Sasuke's eye power is limited after all, not to mention this imposter Sasuke in Konoha now.
Eri could sense that Sasuke's eye power was gradually fading away, the most obvious sign being that the outer shell of the purple Susanoo was gradually crumbling.
Tsunade and Jiraiya noticed this and were a little confused, but they just assumed that Sasuke couldn't hold on any longer. After all, ninjas of their caliber naturally knew more about the inside story.
Especially Tsunade, as a member of the Senju clan and the most outstanding medical ninjutsu user, she was well aware of how much of a burden the Mangekyou Sharingan placed on the Uchiha's body.
He gestured to Jiraiya, who nodded slightly. The two then decided to wait until Sasuke ran out of chakra, which was the lowest-cost method with the least impact on Konoha.
Noticing that Tsunade and Jiraiya's offensive became more conservative, avoiding direct confrontation with Susanoo, Eri couldn't help but purse his lips.
Humans are indeed cunning...
Suddenly, Eli thought with amusement that if the person here was really Uchiha Sasuke, he probably would never have been able to leave Konoha.
Sensing that her eye power was about to be exhausted, Ellie shifted her feet slightly, knowing that the main plot was about to begin.
Susanoo suddenly roared to the sky, seemingly unleashing a final, furious attack before helplessly dissipating completely.
Aili staggered, tears of blood streaming from his eyes, staring intently at the Konoha members opposite him.
Seeing Sasuke like this, Danzo's eyes flashed, and he commanded the Root ninja to rush forward: "Go and capture this Konoha rogue ninja!"
Kakashi's expression changed. Sasuke, now in the hands of Root, would only suffer endless torment, a fate worse than death.
Without thinking twice, he stepped forward and stopped the two Root ninjas.
Seeing this, Danzo slammed his cane heavily on the ground and shouted sternly, "Do you want to protect a rogue ninja! Hatake Kakashi!"
Tsunade glanced at the silent Kakashi and retorted, "I did not agree to let Root take over Sasuke."
Then, turning to the two Root ninjas, he said, "Step back! This is the Hokage's order!"
The Root ninjas looked at Danzo behind them. Danzo had a gloomy face, glanced at Tsunade, and then gave a heavy snort without saying a word.
Upon receiving the signal, the Root ninja silently retreated behind Danzo.
"Tsunade! You'll regret your womanly compassion!"
Ignoring Danzo's harsh words, Tsunade turned to Sasuke, who was almost unsteady on his feet, and said in a deep voice, "You've already lost, Sasuke! What exactly do you want to do by returning to Konoha! What conspiracy do Orochimaru and Zeref have!"
Naruto's voice was filled with confusion: "Why, Sasuke? If you sincerely wanted to return to Konoha, Granny Tsunade would definitely have accepted you back..."
"shut up!"
Aili's acting was superb, and he shouted with great emotion.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Sasuke" swept his hateful gaze over everyone present.
Being stared at by Sasuke's gaze, which was filled with hatred that they had never seen before, Naruto and Sakura felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, and for a moment they could only stare blankly at Sasuke.
"Konoha is so hypocritical it's disgusting!" Eli continued, fully immersed in the role. "Even if I die, I will never surrender to Konoha! This is Konoha's debt to the Uchiha forever!"
Having laid the groundwork, Ali decisively removed his outer robe, revealing a self-destruct rune on his body that was easily recognizable to everyone present. He then activated the rune amidst the incredulous gazes of the people opposite him.
Seeing Sasuke's strange behavior, Naruto felt a sudden and immense panic. He couldn't help but rush forward and shout, "What are you doing, Sasuke!"
Tsunade and the others, recognizing the runes on Sasuke's body, were too late to stop him and could only retreat with Naruto and Sakura.
The next moment, a deafening explosion resounded throughout Konoha.
Soon, news spread throughout the ninja world—Sasuke Uchiha, one of the last two members of the Uchiha clan, had died in Konoha.
……
"What! You let Eric impersonate Sasuke and get killed by Konoha?!"
Inside the Sound Village, Mavis, having learned the entire plan, slammed her hands on the table with a loud thud.
Seeing Mavis slam her hand on the table, stand up, and look furious, Zeref, sitting across the table, didn't change his expression, but his body subconsciously leaned back slightly.
With a slight flicker in his eyes, and seeing Mavis's raised eyebrows, Zeref subconsciously defended himself, saying, "Sasuke also agreed to this."
Sasuke, who was sitting in the other corner polishing his ninja tools, froze, looked up abruptly, and stared incredulously at Zeref, who was trying to shift the blame.
Fortunately, Jelf's attempt to shift blame did not work on Mebbs.
She grabbed Zeref by the collar, and seeing the barely perceptible hint of guilt in his eyes as he tried to hide his intentions, she said angrily, "Sasuke would never come up with such a convoluted plan! Don't try to shirk responsibility, Zeref!"
Sasuke nodded subconsciously upon hearing this, but then suddenly froze, and couldn't help but glare at Mavis again, what did he mean by not being able to come up with such a convoluted plan!
Looking at Mavis's face, which seemed to say "This isn't over until you explain yourself," Zeref reached out and grasped Mavis's hand at the collar, saying honestly, "It was wrong of me to keep this from you. I was just angry about Itachi Uchiha using genjutsu on you and wanted to teach him a lesson."
Mavis paused, her brow furrowing, but the anger on her face didn't subside. She continued her questioning, her face stern, "Even if you're angry, shouldn't you consider my feelings first? I have no intention of seeking revenge against Uchiha Itachi!"
Mavis pulled her hand away from Zeref's grasp, put her hands on her hips angrily, and shouted, "Not only have you tarnished Sasuke's reputation, but you're also making his comrades believe he's dead! You..."
"I don't care about fame, and I don't have any companions."
Just as Mavis was about to continue arguing with Zeref, Sasuke suddenly interrupted her coldly before she could finish speaking.
After carefully gathering up the scattered ninja tools around him, Sasuke said in a cold tone, "There will be no more so-called bond between me and Konoha. Even if there is, it will only be revenge and hatred."
Seeing Mavis and Zeref stop arguing and turn to look at him, Sasuke concluded, "So, I have no objection to Zeref's plan. One day, I will personally go to Konoha and Danzo to settle this score."
After saying that, Sasuke turned and left without hesitation.
Mavis's feelings were complicated as she watched Sasuke gradually change from being arrogant to becoming increasingly indifferent.
She thought about Sasuke's surroundings: either the research madman Orochimaru, the black magician Zeref, or the smiling tiger Kabuto Yakushi. She couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. It must be because Sasuke's environment was too bad!
Sasuke was such an adorable kid when he was with Naruto and Sakura!
