Dispute (2)

Konoha Sasuke gazed calmly at his other self.

Although the Sasuke opposite him was a year older than him, he surprisingly felt that he was actually a little more mature than him!

He wasn't primarily emotional; he too wept bitterly over Sakura's feigned death. However, missing-nin 'Sasuke words made him feel subtly uneasy.

Is this what Sakura's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is like...?

"I'll explain this part," Obito Earth Flow the other side and interrupting their conversation.

"After all, Sasuke learned the truth from me..."

Before Obito could finish speaking, a figure suddenly rushed out, transforming into a swift bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, the figure reached Obito and delivered a fierce punch!

Boom--!

Dust filled the air, and sand and gravel flew everywhere.

The earth seemed to have experienced a massive earthquake; soil and rocks tumbled, gullies cracked, and after being ravaged by numerous battles, it became even more devastated.

"W-What happened!" Karin's body jolted, and she tripped and fell awkwardly. She quickly got up and asked, "Are they fighting again?"

"It doesn't seem so..." Sasuke hesitated for a moment before answering.

Thick dust billowed across the field, obscuring the view of outsiders.

A cold, murderous female voice came from within.

"What happens between the two Sasuke is none of your business... Otherwise, I'll kill you, Madara Uchiha!"

That was Sakura Haruno's voice.

The dust gradually settled.

The scene slowly emerged: Sakura Haruno's punch caused the earth to collapse and mountains to crumble, and the ground to cave in, turning a once flat piece of land into a huge crater!

However, they still failed to defeat Obito.

The Masked Man stood before Sakura Haruno, remaining in a blurred state, and lazily said as he backed away, "Oh my... what a fierce girl."

"But even if you threaten me like this... if I want to continue, it seems like you can't do anything about it, right?"

Obito also sensed it; this Sakura seemed even more formidable than the previous Sakura Haruno... The difference in their Taijutsu levels was evident from that single punch.

However, no matter how strong she was, she couldn't do anything to herself when she entered a ethereal state.

"At least, I should be able to finish this sentence without any problem," Obito casually.

He then turned to Sasuke, who was still Konoha Ninja: "I'll start from the beginning..."

"From the moment the Nine-Tails unexpectedly went out of control."

"An unexpected loss of control?" Konoha's Sasuke suddenly interrupted him. "The Nine-Tails' power, besides Jinchūriki, can only be controlled by the Uchiha's eye power... This is also the source of the rift of distrust between the village and the Uchiha..."

"You're telling me that such a major event as the Nine-Tails going out of control was an accident?"

"Of course. That was just a natural disaster," Obito said calmly, "It has nothing to do with the Uchiha."

"Where's the evidence?" Sasuke retorted.

Obito was taken aback. He was the one who orchestrated the Nine-Tails Incident; proving it was premeditated was easy for him. But proving it was a natural disaster? Where did he get the evidence?

The Sasuke of this world never asked him for any evidence...

He scoffed coldly, showing no remorse, and said, "The evidence has already been fabricated by Konoha. The greedy face of Konoha High Command— "

"That's enough. I think I understand what you're capable of."

Sasuke waved his hand, interrupting the Masked Man, and found it amusing.

This term sounds exactly like the "conscientious inventor of history" that Sakura Haruno mentioned. It seems like that was something Sakura said when they were chatting back in the Ninja Academy; he had never understood the meaning of this bizarre term, but now he suddenly seemed to understand it.

There's no need to listen to what that kind of person has to say.

In fact, he even suspected that the Nine-Tails Incident was more likely a conspiracy orchestrated by this suspicious Uchiha than a natural disaster!

He ignored Obito, turned to the other Sasuke, and said calmly, "So, just because of a few words from this suspicious man, you're going to seek revenge on everyone in Konoha?"

The missing-nin Sasuke frowned as he looked at him. "You don't believe me?"

Why should I believe in something like this, where the judgment is made at will?

"I think you've been corrupted by Konoha, both physically and mentally, and you can't bear to give up your warm and happy life," the missing-nin Sasuke sneered, "That's why you're blind to the truth!"

The Yakumi between the two gradually escalated.

"And what about you?" A flicker of anger rose in Konoha Sasuke's heart. "What have you done this time?"

"You defected from the village and even tried to kill Sakura!"

Even if the village is at fault, it's not Sakura and Naruto's fault! They are your comrades and friends, no matter what!

"Shut up!" the missing-nin Sasuke roared, his face contorted with rage, veins bulging on his cheeks. "What do you know?"

"I defected from Konoha to gain greater power for revenge! The people of Konoha will never be my allies! Every single one of them is a target I will kill without hesitation!"

Konoha Sasuke stared intently at the other Sasuke had made such a declaration.

Is this the person he will become in the future?

The Sasuke keeps vowing to kill everyone in Konoha... is he really the same Sasuke from this world?

"Leaving aside the rest... defecting for power?" He sighed. "But I don't think you're that powerful!"

The missing-nin Sasuke's face suddenly darkened.

"You're a useless piece of trash, hiding in your warm home and comforting yourself with lies. You have no right to say such things!"

"Hiding in a warm illusion, afraid to hear the truth? Is this how you survive—by deceiving yourself and acknowledging a traitor as your father?" His expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and his emotions grew even more agitated. "Damn it... Have you forgotten the glory of the Uchiha, forgotten the tragic deaths of your parents, forgotten Itachi's love for you?!"

"Of course I won't forget!"

Konoha 'Sasuke also got excited and shouted loudly.

"But I will never forget the bonds we formed in Konoha! I won't be like you, swayed by some suspicious people, turning innocent comrades into targets for revenge! You believe everything they say?"

"The people of Team 7, the people of Konoha, your bond with them is not a lie!"

I can't emulate your cold-bloodedness and stupidity!

The four identical Mangekyō Sharingan stared at each other, their emotions surging.

"Stubborn fool..." missing-nin Sasuke a deep breath, forcing himself to regain his composure, and said coldly, "Then let me use my fists to wake you up!"

A struggle of wills, if it yields no result, will eventually escalate into a struggle of strength.

Konoha Sasuke gritted his teeth, suppressing his intense emotions, and shook his head, saying, "Yoru Uo, you smell of snakes, so you defected to that Orochimaru, didn't you?"

"Very well... then let me see how the power you cultivated in the snake pit is stronger than what I obtained in Warm Land!" he said indifferently while silently Hand Seals.

"Sakura... this is a battle between us, please don't interfere..."

Sakura Haruno looked at him, lost in thought, and finally sighed helplessly.

Meanwhile, Obito added, "After this match, we should leave..."

"I will finish this quickly."

The missing-nin Sasuke stretched his body and stepped forward.

Opposite him, the slightly younger boy had completed the Hand Seals.
