Sasuke, My Foolish Little Brother

Obito turned his gaze to Kakashi, whose face showed a hint of unease.

"Teacher Kakashi? Who is Minato?"

Naruto's carefree nature had already buried the fear of having his Chakra sealed away.

Seeing Teacher Kakashi hesitate as if he wanted to speak but held back, Naruto narrowed his eyes into slits.

"He... was the Fourth Hokage..."

"And he had another identity... but... Lord Hokage instructed us... not to tell you for now..."

As Kakashi explained, he glanced at the two outsiders before him.

As for why Hiruzen Sarutobi had neither told everyone nor allowed them to tell Naruto that he was Minato Namikaze's child, Kakashi believed the Third Hokage must have had his reasons.

Naruto looked equally confused.

Lord Hokage? Not tell me? Why?

He recalled how Lord Hokage would always tell him to be kind and brave, to be willing to give himself for others and the village, to earn everyone's recognition and become Hokage.

But the people in the village... no matter what he did, they seemed to dislike him.

"Is it related to the Fourth Hokage?"

Naruto guessed wildly.

Obito and Kakashi exchanged a glance.

"The relationships between the people in this world seem really tangled and complicated..."

The two communicated telepathically.

Seeing that Kakashi did not want to talk, neither of them pressed for gossip. They could just ask Nagato later. His trip to Hidden Leaf Village would surely yield plenty of information.

"Master! I can already feel the Chakra inside me increasing slightly! It's just that my body is too weak to sustain this kind of training for long!"

Seeing everyone fall silent, Sasuke spoke up.

"Sasuke, you've already gotten started? Not bad. That's quite impressive already."

"This is like eating and drinking. You can't accomplish it overnight; it requires tireless training day after day!"

"Don't rush, Sasuke. Take it slowly. If you overdraw your body and damage it, it will affect your future potential instead."

Obito spoke gently, completely unlike the attitude he had shown Kakashi and Naruto.

He searched through the scroll, but unfortunately, most of its contents had been shredded during the cross-world transfer. Only a tiny amount of Tsunade Medical's recovery potion remained.

He handed it to Sasuke and told him to apply it to his body. Soon, Sasuke felt heat spread through his entire body as his cells rapidly began repairing themselves.

"Alright, Sasuke. Next comes the training for the unique ocular techniques of our great Uchiha Clan!"

Sasuke had wanted to hide it, but the excitement and anticipation on his face simply would not fade.

"Same as before. Relax!"

Obito spoke, then opened the Eternal Mangekyo in his left eye at the moment Sasuke was most relaxed.

Sasuke instantly fell completely into a deep Genjutsu.

Although Obito was not a ninja who specialized in Genjutsu, for members of the Uchiha Clan, as long as their eyes had awakened, their innate ocular power gave them greater talent than ordinary ninjas who trained bitterly.

Moreover, he was using the Eternal Mangekyo now, while his opponent was merely a Genin who had completely lowered his guard and emptied his mind.

Within the Empire, the awakening of Mangekyo Sharingan had long become something that could be mass-produced.

Uchiha eyes required extreme emotions.

It could be hatred, or it could be love.

Using Genjutsu for training could produce the same effect.

For example, right now...

Deep within Sasuke's consciousness.

After his master told him to relax, he had completely relaxed. But after waiting for quite some time without any reaction, Sasuke looked at Obito in confusion.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted violently.

Behind Obito stood someone Sasuke knew all too well!

The person he wanted to kill day and night, the person he wanted to question!

Itachi Uchiha!

At that moment, a short blade protruded from Obito's chest. Itachi's eternally calm, expressionless face revealed neither joy nor sorrow.

"Sasuke, my foolish little brother, your strength is so weak. You truly disappoint me!"

Itachi Uchiha pulled the short blade from Obito's chest, and Obito immediately collapsed to the ground without a trace of life.

Sasuke's face filled with terror, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

"You actually killed Obito?"

Kakashi's eyes were filled with disbelief as he drew the short blade from behind his back.

"Lightning Release—Thunderclap Flash!"

Kakashi turned into an afterimage and clashed with Itachi, but after only two exchanges, Kakashi too met his end.

After that, Kakashi, Tazuna, and Sakura all died at Itachi's hands.

Only Naruto remained now. Naruto shouted for Sasuke to run.

Sasuke's heart bled. He wanted to move, but his body would not obey him at all.

"My foolish little brother, I will make you understand that you are a disaster. I will make everyone around you die in agony, and make you regret forever that you were ever born into this world!"

Itachi killed Naruto. Then the Mangekyo Sharingan appeared, and Sasuke was dragged into the Tsukuyomi Dimension once again.

Outside, Naruto watched Sasuke stand there motionless and blankly staring ahead. He wanted to speak, but when he felt the complete absence of Chakra within his body, he immediately behaved himself.

His tone softened somewhat, but he still could not stop himself from using Talk no Jutsu.

"Hey! Obito... Senior! Sasuke calls you Master, so why are you using Genjutsu to torment him?"

Obito had no desire to explain in response to Naruto's question.

"Kakashi, you're his teacher. Since you once possessed the Sharingan too, you can explain it to him!"

Kakashi looked at Naruto while taking the time to recover the Chakra within his body.

"Naruto, this is using Genjutsu to stimulate Sasuke's emotions. This method of emotional stimulation can allow Sasuke to awaken a stronger Sharingan more quickly..."

Naruto did not understand, though he found it impressive.

Sakura's eyes flickered with distress.

"Alright, Kakashi, you're next. Let me place a Curse Seal on you, then we'll set off to complete your mission for you..."

Obito said as he walked toward Kakashi.

As for Sakura?

Her level of strength could not even be considered troublesome, much less have any effect at all.

Although Kakashi kept his eyes on Make-Out Paradise, he still sent two messages to the Empire.

After receiving no response, he edited the messages and sent them to Nagato.

"The Empire cannot be contacted for now. Be careful with any actions! We may have been discovered!"

"When you return, if you get the chance, remember to check the Valley of the End! Perhaps that is where the problem lies!"

"If possible, place a Protective Seal in that location!"

Kakashi guessed that the problem on his side might also have originated from that place. Because the transfer was one-way, it was the only location where something could have gone wrong.

Of course, the wristband might also have malfunctioned. But since he could still contact Nagato, the possibility of a problem there was relatively higher.

With no help to be expected from the Empire for the time being, they could only investigate according to the current logic.

"Received. I am currently heading to the Land of Fire and Konoha Village. Once this trip is over, I will immediately check the Valley of the End."

Only then did Kakashi turn his attention to the surroundings after receiving Nagato's reply.

The air began to grow damp, and visibility steadily decreased.

A vast blanket of white mist swept in. Before long, Kakashi's vision was completely swallowed by the fog...
