Chapter 109 Eric Returns to the Sound Village
Inside the Sound Village, Sasuke continued his diligent daily training as usual.
After learning the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre, he was confused for a while, but he quickly regained his spirits.
Mavis is right. In any case, only when his power becomes strong enough can he do whatever he wants!
News of Eli's faked death in Konoha also reached Otomura. Although he knew that this was an inevitable result deliberately created by Eli, it still served as a warning to him.
With his current strength, if it weren't Eri who went to Konoha, but Sasuke Uchiha himself, he would have absolutely no chance of escaping from Konoha!
Thinking of this, Sasuke's eyes darkened, and he swung the Kusanagi sword with even more force.
But so what? He now possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, and every day he can feel his power constantly growing stronger. The day he tramples Konoha under his feet won't be too long!
After a while, Sasuke sheathed the Kusanagi sword and turned to look at August standing to the side.
Augustus remained as composed as ever, but Sasuke, who was already quite familiar with Augustus, immediately noticed that beneath Augustus's calm exterior, he seemed somewhat absent-minded.
A flicker of doubt crossed his eyes, but in an instant, Sasuke's expression became somewhat subtle.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless, and asked, "Judging from your reaction, Mavis isn't still angry with Zeref, is she?"
Through their time together, Sasuke has come to realize that only Zeref and Mavis can influence August's emotions.
Augustus glanced at him upon hearing this but remained silent, indicating that Sasuke had hit the nail on the head.
Thinking about why Mavis was angry, Sasuke raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't even mind what happened to Eric, so what exactly is it that Mavis is bothered by?"
"Sasuke, you should also consider the feelings of your comrades Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi, and the others!"
Mebbs’s voice, tinged with anger, came from the side.
Mavis, who happened to be nearby and happened to be visiting Sasuke and August, overheard Sasuke's words as soon as she arrived, and a surge of resentment welled up in her heart again.
How can you not care about your companion's feelings!
Sasuke turned his head away without saying a word, giving the impression that although he wouldn't argue, he wouldn't listen either.
Mavis: ......
With a somewhat helpless gesture, she raised her hand to press her forehead, as if shrouded in a shadow of despair. She waved her hand and then walked away unsteadily.
August nodded to Sasuke before following Mavis away.
Mavis and August walked slowly through the woods. Seeing Mavis's somewhat dejected expression, August couldn't help but ask, "Are you still angry with your father?"
Hearing August's voice, Mavis snapped out of her thoughts.
She turned to look at the slightly worried expression on August's face and couldn't help but smile and reassure him, "Don't worry, August. Although you are still a little angry, Jelf has promised not to do anything more."
"I plan to go to Konoha in person to explain things and clean up the mess left by Zeref."
August pondered the implication in Mavis's words, realized what she meant, and asked with some surprise, "Mom, you still hope Sasuke can return to Konoha?"
“To be precise, I hope Sasuke can continue to have Naruto, Sakura, and the others as his companions,” Mavis corrected.
Thinking of Sasuke's increasingly resolute gaze each day, August looked at Mavis, hesitant to speak.
Seeing Augustus's unusually conflicted expression, Mavis couldn't help but smile.
She turned around and continued walking leisurely, saying to August behind her, "I understand. Sasuke's hatred for Konoha is something that will always separate him from Konoha because of the blood of his own clan. How can it be easily resolved?"
"But it's so pitiful without any companions..."
"The ninjas of this world are truly pathetic..."
Mebius's soft sigh seemed to ripple gently through the forest.
Compared to Mavis's insights, August said with utmost calmness, "In a way, these ninjas may have chosen this fate themselves."
With hearts yearning for peace yet acting ruthlessly, with powerful attacks yet fragile lives, these ninjas are contradictions in themselves.
Upon hearing this, Mavis couldn't help but turn around and look at him strangely.
Meeting August's questioning gaze, Mavis couldn't help but laugh and said, "That sounds just like Jelf. In terms of seeing through people's hearts, you're a bit like him."
August couldn't help but laugh, and said in a light tone, "Well, after all, I'm your child, so it's normal for me to resemble my parents."
Just as Mavis and Augusta were enjoying a tender moment, Itachi Uchiha, with a completely different state of mind, finally arrived near the Sound Village.
The one who arrived at Otogakure even before Itachi Uchiha was Eri, who had demon wings and was faster.
As a demon, Eri, who is naturally skilled at lurking and hiding, enters the Sound Village as if it were an empty place, just like a nimble black cat.
Although August and Mavis had left the training ground, Sasuke did not stop his training.
The buzzing of Chidori echoed continuously in the training ground. Compared to when he left Konoha, he had undergone a complete transformation in his control over the changes in the form of Chidori.
Sasuke raised his hand, and Chidori, like a sharp blade, pierced towards a tree in front of him.
Just as Chidori was about to pierce the tree, Sasuke suddenly raised his hand, and Chidori, which was supposed to pierce the trunk, instead split the tree in two from bottom to top.
The tree was lush with branches and leaves, and after it was split open, the branches and leaves fell to the ground.
Amidst the falling leaves, a figure landed lightly on the ground.
The next instant, the dazzling light of the Thousand Birds once again struck the figure that appeared from the tree.
The figure in the tree easily dodged the attack, and its face was finally revealed, causing Sasuke, who was preparing to continue his attack, to stop.
As if looking in a mirror, the person opposite Sasuke had the exact same face as Sasuke.
The difference was that the person opposite had two small, jet-black horns on their head. A slender, jet-black tail swayed gently behind them.
After seeing the person's face clearly, Sasuke's usually calm expression was unusually turbulent.
He looked Ellie up and down with a slightly disgusted expression, his gaze lingering on Ellie's horns and tail for a moment before his disgust deepened.
Sasuke said somewhat irritably, "Haven't you already completed your mission? Hurry up and change back to your original form!"
Ellie leaned lazily against another tree, grinned, and a fleeting, inhuman red glint flashed in her black pupils.
He chuckled lazily and said, "Anyway, all humans look pretty much the same. Your appearance seems to be quite popular. Your teammate, Sakura, right? She seems to like you a lot."
Sasuke's expression darkened further, and he continued to mock, "Hmph! Do you, a demon, even have any sense of aesthetics? The horns on your head are truly hideous, and what's that behind your butt? A tail? How disgusting! Stop adding all that nonsense to my appearance!"
Eric said with dissatisfaction, "You humans are the ones who don't understand aesthetics! Look at the perfect shape of these horns, their glossy black color, and my tail, how powerful it is! These are all symbols of strength!"
Increasingly defiant, Ali straightened up, his tail nimbly spun in the air, and the cone-shaped tip sliced through the thick tree trunk behind him as easily as a knife cutting through tofu.
The trees behind him swayed slowly, and the next moment the entire tree was cut in half by Ali's tail. And this was just pure physical strength.
