[Hiruzen Sarutobi: It seems Sasuke still harbors resentment towards the village because of Itachi's actions.]
At this moment, everyone could see that Sasuke now hated his older brother, Uchiha Itachi.
Even his apprenticeship under Orochimaru was solely for revenge against Itachi.
At this moment, Orochimaru recalled his encounter in the dungeon, how Sasuke had chosen to become his disciple in order to avenge Itachi.
This is incredibly embarrassing. Didn't I know Uchiha Itachi's strength back then?
Orochimaru still vividly remembers the power in those eyes.
[Uchiha Fugaku: Itachi, there's absolutely no need to use such radical methods to change the Uchiha Clan. After all, our Uchiha Clan was one of the Founder of Konoha.]
At this moment, Fugaku simply wanted to tell Itachi that the Uchiha Clan also shed blood in the founding of Konoha, and that they had a part in this village.
We can't abandon the Uchiha Clan for the sake of the so-called village.
The situation at this time was extremely chaotic.
Deidara of the Akatsuki wanted to harm Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi's younger brother, while Sasuke wanted to find Itachi through Deidara.
Meanwhile, Konoha dispatched an elite team to capture Uchiha Itachi alive. This time, all of Konoha's Konoha, including Sai, were assembled.
The Taka, the Akatsuki, Konoha Shinobi Village —all three forces converged.
At this point, Deidara still doesn't know who the prey is and who the hunter is.
Having gathered Suigetsu, Karin, Jūgo, Sasuke embarked on his journey to find Uchiha Itachi.
After assigning search areas, the group began to act independently.
Only Karin stubbornly stayed by Sasuke's side.
"Sasuke, it's just me and Sasuke." Seeing that no one was around, Karin quickly moved closer, as if afraid she wouldn't see Sasuke.
Ugh, this is so annoying! This is probably the first time Sasuke has ever felt a headache over his irresistible charm.
"You go too!" Sasuke didn't choose to keep Karin by his side, in case a battle broke out and he wouldn't be able to spare the time to protect her.
Why not let him try his luck?
At this time, Sasuke was unaware that people from Konoha had also arrived nearby, and they even brushed past each other during Karin's subsequent search.
Neither Sakura nor Karin noticed the other.
After some time, just when Sasuke thought he couldn't find Itachi, he suddenly realized he was being followed.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
Sasuke clung tightly to a tree, a figure faintly appearing behind him.
"This outfit... you are..." Sasuke looked at the figure slowly walking towards him.
If I'm not mistaken, this guy is a member of Akatsuki, though I don't understand why seeing him makes me want to laugh.
"So you're Sasuke?" At this moment, Tobi's slightly goofy voice made his identity obvious.
Obito Uchiha, it's you again!
[Kakashi: Obito?]
[Rin: Obito?]
[Obito: Ah, this, what, it's just...]
How embarrassing! Why did you suddenly reappear at this time? And didn't you know that your tone just now sounded really silly? And you didn't need to pretend to be an idiot to hide your identity.
At this moment, Tobi, who had just walked over, still recklessly brought up Sasuke's brother.
"I knew it! You're just like Itachi."
Sasuke clearly had no intention of fighting this oddball in front of him; he only moved slightly, and Tobi was instantly so frightened that he took dozens of steps back.
Sasuke Uchiha:??
Are you faking it or are you really? It sounds like you have a brainstem deficiency.
At this moment, Sasuke looked at Tobi with the same eyes one would use to look at someone mentally challenged.
At that moment, a sudden commotion came from the sky as a giant Explosive Clay bird swooped down.
"Drink!"
"Boom!"
The massive explosion left a huge crater where Sasuke had just been standing.
"That's awesome, we took down Sasuke!" Deidara exclaimed with a hint of joy.
[Ōnoki: Why does my future apprentice act like he has a blood feud with the Uchiha Clan?]
[Mei Terumi: More than that, I think he wants to devour Sasuke Uchiha alive.]
"What?! You want to Sasuke?!"
Upon hearing this, Itachi immediately stood up, eager to eliminate the danger beforehand.
Honestly, my brother is such a handful, making enemies everywhere and I have to clean up his messes.
When the smoke cleared, Sasuke appeared unharmed before them, along with a giant python.
It's obvious that Sasuke summoned the summoning beast from the Ryūchi Cave just now.
"Truly worthy of being a senior!" At this moment, Tobi was still trying to sarcastic remarks about Deidara, even though Sasuke's clothes weren't even dirty.
[Rin: This... Obito shouldn't be that kind of person, right?]
At this moment, Rin, who knew Obito very well, also expressed her doubts. She and Obito had known each other since childhood, and it was impossible for Obito to say such a thing.
[Obito: (Excitedly) Could it be that I've been framed?!]
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Impossible. His final identity has been revealed. One Sharingan, a mask—it's obviously you. Although I don't understand why his personality seems so different.]
"Shut up!" Deidara also scolded Tobi.
Honestly, didn't you see I hadn't even used my full strength yet? I was just testing the waters a little. What's there to be nervous about?
"I still can't believe that someone like that could defeat Orochimaru." It seems Deidara doesn't believe that Sasuke could defeat Orochimaru.
After all, they were once part of the same organization, so they had some understanding of Orochimaru's strength.
The Sasuke in front of me isn't enough!
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Ah, this!]
[Jiraiya: Did you hear that, Orochimaru? You let your own student kill you!]
[Tsunade: Orochimaru, you're a real piece of trash. You even tried to kill your own student.]
[Orochimaru: Jiraiya, you seem to have no right to talk to me like that.]
[Yahiko: Um, hello Master and Mistress! Wishing you a long and happy marriage!]
[Jiraiya: Yoshi, Yahiko's right.]
As for things like disciples, masters, and master-killing, they were all thrown to the back of their minds.
At this moment, Orochimaru was also contemplating his future. Based on the Cursed Seal he had obtained, his future self was unlikely to die.
Moreover, even in a life-or-death situation, no one would know that Anko actually carries her own Cursed Seal.
As long as the Cursed Seal is not completely removed, one cannot die.
It seems that I've used the Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique too many times, causing my soul to become unstable.
Otherwise, there's no reason why he would be killed by Sasuke.
At this moment, Sasuke looked at the blond-haired man in front of him, who seemed to harbor a deep-seated hatred for him.
Sasuke couldn't remember ever provoking him, but since he was in the same organization as that man, he had to get information from him.
