Sasuke, the Spokesperson for Chuunibyou

"I'm... the protagonist?"

Sakura pointed a finger at the tip of her nose, her pair of jade-like beautiful eyes widening slightly.

Hearing this, even Naruto, who had already been stunned by his true identity, turned around, his face also full of curiosity.

"That's right, the protagonist."

Wang Yan said with a serious expression, "You know about prophecy techniques, right?"

Naruto and Sakura both shook their heads.

It was inevitable that the former wouldn't understand. Although the latter had good grades in theoretical classes at school, the Ninja Academy wouldn't teach them "unimportant" things.

Sasuke nodded slightly, indicating he had heard of it before. "I saw in the Uchiha Clan's secret scrolls that it's said the Great Toad Ancestor of Mount Myōboku and the Great Prophet have the ability to predict the future. I don't know if it's true."

The Great Prophet's real name was Gamamaru, not Jiraiya. He had predicted the existence of Jiraiya and the Child of Prophecy over a hundred years ago.

However, the Uchiha Clan's records were not detailed, and Sasuke only had a general understanding, not a true grasp of it.

"Mmm~ Prophecy techniques do exist. Many beings possess the ability to observe timelines, such as predicting the future and knowing the past."

Wang Yan smiled slightly. "Have you heard of the Multiverse and the Infinite Planes?"

This time, even Sasuke looked bewildered.

The three young ninjas of Team Seven suddenly felt like unsophisticated bumpkins in front of Wang Yan, knowing nothing.

Fortunately, they were still young and did not feel ashamed of their ignorance, so they all spoke up to seek advice.

"Perhaps you once thought that the Five Great Shinobi Nations encompassed all forces under heaven and earth, but that is not the case. In the boundless universe, there exist many colorful worlds."

"For example, the Hero Academia World, the Marvel World, the Pirate World, the Bleach World... In many worlds, there are Great Prophets named 'Timeline Observers' who know the past and predict the future."

Wang Yan paused for a moment, giving them space to digest, and then continued, "And many Timeline Observers, besides their own worlds, occasionally predict things that will happen in other worlds."

"You mean..." Sasuke's dark pupils instantly contracted into needle-like points, like a startled Fold cat.

If everything in the future was already determined and predicted, what was the meaning of everything he did? Were his struggles, his ambitions, and his efforts all in vain?

"Your reaction speed is quite fast. I'll give you a little reward."

Wang Yan tilted his head and gave Sasuke a look of approval.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke to himself, "Itachi was indeed the executor of the Uchiha Clan's annihilation, but he also had his own difficulties."

"Difficulties?!"

Sasuke's entire body exuded a dark and violent aura. "What kind of difficulties could make him personally kill his own parents?"

A strict father who always expected too much of himself yet protected me!

A gentle and kind mother!

Both were killed by that bastard brother!

Drowning in pain, Sasuke made a resolve: no matter what reasons the other party had, he would never forgive him!

"Having experienced the horrors of the Ninja Wars, Itachi always detested war. But after finally enduring until the war ended and peace arrived, the conflict between the Hokage faction and the Uchiha Clan began to escalate."

Speaking of which, Wang Yan's tone was slightly mocking: "Heh, without external wars to release pressure and divert contradictions, all that's left is internal strife."

"Because they were suppressed too severely, the Uchiha Clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, was unwilling to endure any longer and formulated a plan to rebel against Konoha."

Hearing his father's name, Sasuke's eyes reddened, the muscles in his forearm twitched, and he clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms.

Drip... drip...

Crimson blood splattered onto the ground, seeping into the earth, leaving only a patch of black stains.

"Actually, at this point, Clan Leader Fugaku's plan was flawless, and the success rate was extremely high. If there were no accidents, perhaps he would be sitting in the Hokage's seat now."

Wang Yan's tone was calm: "However, at that time, the genius Uchiha Shisui, who possessed the strongest Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, decided to prevent this coup d'état. Because of his intervention, most of the Uchiha Clan's combat power was temporarily crippled that day."

Shisui wanted to shed less blood, but the outcome evolved into the Uchiha Clan Downfall Night.

"Under these circumstances, Itachi, who loved peace, believed that once the Uchiha Clan, with its greatly diminished strength, rebelled, they would inevitably fail, and the entire clan, down to the last person, would be slaughtered, with no one left alive."

"To protect his beloved younger brother, he accepted Danzo's proposal and decided to join forces with someone calling himself 'Uchiha Madara' to kill everyone else in the clan, including even his own parents."

At this point, Sasuke completely blackened.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse and piercing: "Enough, you liar spewing falsehoods. If you want to make excuses for that guy, at least put in a little effort to find a better reason! You just said that because of that traitor Shisui, the Uchiha Clan's combat power was only temporarily crippled! A mere Genjutsu, at most a day, and everyone could recover to peak combat strength!"

Even so, Sasuke still held a sliver of hope in his heart.

If he had truly made up his mind, he wouldn't have listened to Wang Yan.

"You can't talk about ice to a summer insect; your knowledge is too shallow."

(When telling the truth, no one believes me...)

Wang Yan's expression was strange, and he looked at Sasuke with a half-smile, saying, "Perhaps in your heart, Genjutsu is just a minor art, even inferior to some powerful Fire Release ninjutsu?"

"Am I wrong?" Sasuke retorted, not agreeing with Wang Yan's statement.

"Your Sharingan has already evolved to Two Tomoe, and you still haven't realized it? From yesterday's assessment until now, you have been under my Genjutsu's control."

With that, Wang Yan clapped his hands.

Sasuke Uchiha woke up as if from a deep dream, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He remembered!

He remembered the memories he had deliberately ignored!

After returning home yesterday, he found a stack of paper and repeatedly wrote one sentence until dawn.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha, I have a brother who dotes on his younger brother, and I represent chuunibyou."

The simple-minded Sasuke didn't know what "brother-dotes-on" meant, nor did he understand what chuunibyou meant.

However, this extremely bizarre event had indeed happened...

Before Wang Yan voluntarily dispelled the genjutsu, he hadn't even felt anything was wrong!

A chill rushed from his tailbone to the top of his head. Looking at Wang Yan, who was incredibly calm beside him, Sasuke's skin crawled.

How could someone with such an ability be an ordinary Jonin?

What conspiracy did he have for staying in Konoha?

He also discovered that Naruto and Sakura seemed not to have heard the conversation between him and Wang Yan during this time, and instead kept repeatedly asking about "the protagonist."

"That's fine too."

Sasuke's mindset changed quickly. He quickly returned to his expressionless, emotionless face, his tone slightly solemn: "No matter what conspiracy or scheme you have, it has nothing to do with me. Also... thank you for telling me the truth about that year."

Wang Yan didn't need Sasuke's gratitude.

After all, everything he did was following his own heart.

To divert the trajectory of others' destinies in the direction he favored...

This kind of thing was interesting, wasn't it?

"What will happen in the future of the Ninja World is all in this book."

A mischievous smile showed on Wang Yan's lips. Dozens of comic books flew out of the Coiled Dragon Ring and landed beside Sakura, piling up into a small mountain.

"This is the gift I give you."
