Chapter 132 Each with their own thoughts
"Hmph! He's nothing but a cowardly rat who dares not show his true face!"
Orochimaru's explanation drew a disdainful sneer from Sasuke.
Orochimaru looked at Itachi with a hint of inquiry in his eyes and asked, "It's not easy to impersonate Madara Uchiha with just the Mangekyou Sharingan, especially since you managed to fool him. Maybe he really does have some connection with Madara Uchiha, hehehe."
Itachi Uchiha fell silent. Orochimaru's speculation was not without merit. Much of the information the masked man possessed was a little-known secret.
Seeing Itachi's silence, Sasuke couldn't help but question, "Regardless of whether he was Madara Uchiha or not, he was still a member of the Uchiha clan, right? Then why did he turn a blind eye to what happened to the Uchiha back then!"
Itachi's silence grew ever deeper.
Orochimaru, however, had no qualms about saying what Itachi couldn't.
He even speculated with some interest: "The trigger for the deterioration of the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha was the night of the Nine-Tails' attack. The Sharingan pattern that appeared in the Nine-Tails' pupils could control the Nine-Tails, something that ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan users couldn't do."
"So, in other words," Orochimaru's gaze swept over Itachi and Sasuke, and he chuckled, "the Uchiha clan itself was the one that personally pushed the Uchiha clan to their doom, huh... Heh heh heh..."
The next moment, Orochimaru swiftly dodged the attack of Chidori.
He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Sasuke, but still smiled as he said, "Being angry won't change the facts, Sasuke... &34;
After all, he was a top-tier ninja who had been famous for a long time. No matter how much he endured, he would always have his edge.
Even someone as patient as Orochimaru couldn't always remain calm when offended by Sasuke.
"Sasuke, calm down," Itachi said, looking at Sasuke.
That's like adding fuel to the fire.
Sasuke stared coldly at Itachi, gritting his teeth as he questioned, "Is what Orochimaru said true? That guy is also involved in the massacre of the clan?!"
"...Yes." Itachi's voice was a little hoarse: "...On the day the Uchiha clan was massacred...he helped me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke's fist had already slammed heavily into Itachi's face.
Seeing Itachi lying on the ground without any resistance, Sasuke felt not even a trace of pleasure.
He gripped Itachi's collar tightly, his eyes burning with a raging fire of anger and resentment that scorched Itachi's heart, a heart so riddled with wounds that he himself thought it would never feel pain again.
"You are all from the Uchiha clan, aren't you! Why, why!" Sasuke's voice was even somewhat shrill at this moment.
After Itachi Uchiha arrived in Otogakure, those things that he had been suppressing deep in his heart, those things that kept him awake all night, finally erupted at this moment.
Punch after punch, countless punches landed on Itachi's face, each punch seeming to express Sasuke's pain and confusion.
Soon, blood began to flow from Itachi's mouth, but he remained lying on the ground without resistance, calmly enduring Sasuke's punches, with even a hint of relief in his expression.
This sense of relief, however, was like a bucket of cold water poured over Sasuke's head, sobering him up from his rage.
He stood up, his black hair obscuring his expression.
"You are not worthy of the title Uchiha!"
After leaving those words, Sasuke went straight away.
Unexpectedly, the masked man's identity revealed such hidden secrets. Seeing that the information about the masked man had been analyzed to a sufficient extent, Mavis thought for a moment and decided to go and check on Sasuke.
Just as Mavis was about to take a step, Zeref suddenly grabbed her arm. Zeref, who had been watching for some time, smiled slightly at Mavis and said, "I'll go talk to Sasuke. He probably won't listen to you right now."
......
At the edge of the cliff, Sasuke appeared to have regained his composure. He stared blankly into the distance, lost in thought.
The soft footsteps drew closer, and Sasuke turned his head slightly to see that it was Zeref.
"I thought it would be Mavis who came," Sasuke said casually.
Hearing this, Jelf smiled: "After all, Mavis is just too gentle, isn't she?"
Stopping behind Sasuke, Zeref continued, "She originally wanted to check on you, but I thought you and I might have more in common."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke smiled enigmatically and suddenly said, "My eyesight has started to deteriorate since I used the Mangekyou Sharingan."
This direct exposure of his weaknesses was unlike Sasuke's style, but Zeref didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
Sasuke continued, seemingly oblivious to his own words, "Itachi said that the only way to prevent the Mangekyou Sharingan from ultimately leading to blindness was for him to give me his own eyes."
Jelf raised an eyebrow and said, "But you don't want to, do you?"
Sasuke turned around, facing Zeref directly, and said without hesitation, "Itachi owes me something he can never repay, let alone try to find release through death. He can forget about it!"
Looking at Sasuke's increasingly cold and stern features, Zeref gazed at this child who seemed to have changed a lot since their first meeting, yet also seemed unchanged, and said with certainty, "So, you want me to help you solve the problem of the Mangekyou Sharingan."
"I can certainly do it, but why should I help you?"
Zeref's voice was calm: "Besides, Sasuke, is this all you want from me?"
Zeref's gaze was calm yet incredibly penetrating, as if it could see into the depths of his soul: "I've heard that the Sharingan is the eye that reflects the mind. Why is your Mangekyou Sharingan's ability related to space?"
"I'm not interested in lies, so give me a reason."
"A reason that might upset Mebbes, but which still allows me to choose to help you."
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a moment had gone by, before Sasuke spoke up: "I ask for your help."
"I'll let it slide because you understand the pain of losing a family member better than anyone else."
"Considering your determination to save your family, even if it means going against the world."
......
Itachi refused Kabuto's offer to treat him, and simply wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve, staring blankly in the direction Sasuke had left.
After gesturing for the others to leave, Mavis glanced in the direction Sasuke and Zeref had gone, sighed, and said, "Sasuke clearly gets along better with Zeref than I do. This is... a little worrying..."
Upon hearing this, Itachi couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that? Does Zeref mean any harm to Sasuke?"
Mavis was somewhat surprised that Itachi would interpret it that way. She shook her head and said, "If that's the case, you can rest assured. Zeref actually quite likes Sasuke, perhaps because he also has a younger brother and had a falling out with his brother before..."
However, if they successfully return to Asland this time, perhaps Zeref could try to reconcile with Natsu... Mavis's thoughts drifted away.
But she quickly brought her attention back.
Facing the brother who had deeply hurt Sasuke yet also loved him deeply, Mavis expressed her concerns: "Zeref always has a strange attraction. People who are confused yet yearn for power and change are often easily attracted to and influenced by him, just like I was back then, just like Sasuke now."
“He is adept at seeing through people’s hearts and possesses a treasure trove of power,” Mavis said.
Itachi's brow twitched suddenly, and he muttered, "Sasuke is very pure, like a blank sheet of paper, which is easily stained with all kinds of colors..." &34;
......
Not only were the people in Otogakure reviewing the battle, but the atmosphere in Akatsuki and Konoha was also somber.
Even ignoring Kakuzu and Hidan who died in the mission, Black Zetsu looked at the Three-Tails, which only had half a body, and felt a dizzying sensation.
Five Akatsuki members were dispatched, and Obito even took action personally, yet Kamui only managed to bring back half of the Three-Tails?!
How are we supposed to capture the remaining tailed beasts?!
This time it was half a fish, what about next time?! Will we end up with nothing at all, not even a tail?!
"Obito, we need to act quickly to capture the Tailed Beasts!" Black Zetsu said anxiously.
Obito glanced at the Three-Tails' torso, frowned, and said, "Indeed, let Pain take action himself."
Thinking about Pain and Konan's seemingly negative behavior recently, Black Zetsu couldn't put his mind at ease. He slowly said, "I know about Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation technique, otherwise we... &34.
Black Zetsu paused deliberately and glanced at Obito.
Obito's voice suddenly turned displeased: "What, you don't want to resurrect this old man with Edo Tensei, do you?"
Black Zetsu's heart sank; he knew that Obito had no intention of reviving Madara.
He didn't really care about Obito's little schemes anyway, since they were all under his control.
However, the situation has suddenly become so complicated and urgent. Since Obito and Pain are still useful for the time being, he can only test the waters first.
"The Impure World Reincarnation can't fully restore the old man's original power, so summoning him won't do any good. Zetsu, you just need to find the locations of all the Jinchuriki as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about anything else." Obito, who didn't want to see that annoying old man at all, waved his hand and said.
“I understand…” Black Zetsu replied.
Watching Obito leave through the Kamui dimension, Black Zetsu turned around and began preparations for the reanimated Uchiha Madara.
Do you trust the guarantee that everything will be fine with the Uchiha clan?
What a joke! These guys are always the most stubborn before they die.
Black Zetsu, a veteran Uchiha researcher, decided to immediately resurrect Madara Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique!
All the tailed beasts belong to the mother!
