The Failed Kotoamatsukami
Itachi Uchiha's idea is good.
At the very least, he didn't want his younger brother to be with those dangerous people.
However, the only mistake was that this war represented the end of the Shinobi World's conflicts, and many people and things underwent some unexpected changes during the war.
For example...
His younger brother Sasuke Uchiha.
Konoha Village.
A group of former classmates are having a reunion.
The twelve best young talents of Konoha sat in a Barbecue Restaurant, including Naruto Uzumaki, who had been forcibly brought back to Konoha by Sasuke Uchiha after returning from the Sage of Six Paths. This was their first gathering in many years.
Sasuke Uchiha sat somewhat awkwardly next to Naruto Uzumaki, but his classmates and friends didn't seem to have any prejudice against him. They were all listening attentively as Naruto Uzumaki recounted the final battle between Kaguya Otsutsuki and Shirou Emiya.
At that time...
Everyone has fallen under the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Of those present, only Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha witnessed the final battle firsthand, so they were naturally asked a few more questions.
But...
Sasuke Uchiha, however, seemed somewhat disinterested.
Because both he and Naruto Uzumaki were losers in the war, neither of them was able to save the world like the Sage of Six Paths.
"This is truly unexpected..."
Shikamaru Nara listened to Naruto Uzumaki recount the outcome of the battle between the two Ten-Tails, he murmured in amazement, "Shirou Emiya's power was actually this strong..."
This kind of thing...
This was far beyond their imagination.
"It looks like..."
"We are truly powerless."
Shikamaru Nara gently shook his head.
Shikamaru Nara glanced at the drinks on the table, wanting to exchange them for alcoholic beverages, but since they were underage, they obviously wouldn't be sold them, and he didn't care anymore.
"The Daimyo has announced his abdication..."
"All the nations in the entire Shinobi World will begin to merge..."
Shikamaru Nara looked out the window of the Barbecue Restaurant, watching the bustling crowd, and sighed, "I wonder how much longer our village will exist..."
"It will definitely continue to exist, right?"
"Shirou Emiya didn't intend to continue the attack on Konoha..."
These young people didn't understand why their classmate Shikaku Nara would make such a remark, even though they knew about the agreement signed between the Five Kage and Shirou Emiya.
The Five Great Shinobi Villages ...
Everything will be preserved.
Their strength may even have increased to some extent.
After all, other small ninja villages were going to be eliminated, and the ninjas from these small villages would choose to migrate to the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Konoha managed to gain the participation of quite a few small villages!
Shikamaru Nara didn't argue with his friends because he and his father, Shikaku Nara, had carefully analyzed the agreement in front of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade. The signing of that agreement was the countdown to the annihilation of the Five Great Shinobi Villages...
But...
This is already a blessing.
At least he didn't kill tens of thousands of ninjas after the war ended.
This class reunion eventually ended in disappointment, because they really didn't know how to continue to dream about a better future as losers, especially after they learned more about the horrors of Shirou Emiya from Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
After the party ended.
Naruto Uzumaki, clutching his head, strolled through the village with Sasuke Uchiha. As the only two of them possessed the power to put up a fight against Shirou Emiya, and carrying the hopes that came from the Sage of Six Paths, they had much to say to each other in private.
"It looks like..."
Naruto Uzumaki recounted what they had seen and heard since returning to the Shinobi World, and said in a low voice, "Sasuke, now everyone no longer wants to rebel against Emiya."
"They also lacked the power to resist."
Sasuke Uchiha had to remind his friend, saying in a deep voice, "It's not just them; even if we wanted to do something now, it would only cause that guy more trouble..."
"It's fine as it is."
"All systems are inherently governed by the strong..."
"But..."
Naruto Uzumaki still had some reservations.
However, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't quite put his finger on it. He didn't think that Shirou Emiya was right, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with him either.
"Naruto."
"Don't think about it too much now."
"What if Konoha and Shirou Emiya clash again in the future..."
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha earnestly said a few heartfelt words to his friend, "Even if you want to protect Konoha, we need to digest the power given to us by the Sage of Six Paths as soon as possible. Only by becoming stronger can we have the strength to fight back against that guy..."
"Sasuke..."
"Will you come with me?"
Naruto Uzumaki's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Snort..."
Uchiha Sasuke Uchiha snorted coldly, but his gaze was fixed on the land on both sides of the road, the old land where he had grown up.
Naka River ...
Naka Shrine ...
Actually...
He didn't know where he was going.
However, Naruto Uzumaki brought him back, and he also planned to renovate his clan's old grounds here. The Konoha High Command did not raise any objections to this, and his teacher Kakashi Hatake, also told Sasuke Uchiha some stories about Itachi Uchiha.
The brother who protected him...
Sasuke Uchiha thought it would be fine for him to stay here. He didn't plan to return to the dangerous Akatsuki Shirou Emiya, because he preferred to spend time with his former classmates, Naruto Uzumaki, rather than Shirou Emiya and Madara Uchiha.
However...
Somewhat surprisingly...
While tidying up the Naka Shrine, Sasuke Uchiha was surprised to see a strange black Ninja Crow, which stirred something within him.
Ninja Crow.
This was the Summoning Beast of Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha in the past. They always regarded it as a high-level Summoning Beast for casting Genjutsu, and it was quite useful in battle. They never expected that such a miraculous Summoning Beast would still exist at this time.
Sasuke Uchiha thought for a moment and decided to sign Summoning Contract with the Ninja Crow, but he was shocked when he saw the true appearance of the Ninja Crow!
This Ninja Crow ...
He actually has a Sharingan!
How could a Ninja Crow possess the Sharingan of Uchiha?
Sasuke Uchiha immediately wanted to investigate the secrets of this Ninja Crow!
However, to Sasuke Uchiha's surprise, the Ninja Crow's Sharingan instantly transformed into the Mangekyo Sharingan when it saw his eyes!
"How is that possible!"
Sasuke Uchiha was startled.
The Mangekyo Sharingan is incredibly precious, and the Dōjutsu it contains are equally valuable. What secrets lie behind its transplantation into this Ninja Crow?
The next moment!
Sasuke Uchiha's expression changed!
Because he had clearly sensed the effect of that Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique, which contained a technique that altered his will through transcription and sealing!
The effect of the procedure is...
Let him protect Konoha.
Before obtaining the Yin Power and the Rinnegan, I might not have been able to contend with the Dōjutsu contained within this Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Protect Konoha..."
Sasuke Uchiha's gaze suddenly turned exceptionally cold, Rinnegan appeared in his eyes as he stared intently into the eyes of the Ninja Crow.
Actually...
He doesn't mind protecting Konoha.
Because he had many friends in Konoha.
Anyway, at this point, he didn't know what he should do.
However, what a person subjectively wants to do is completely different from what someone forces them to do or even what someone uses Genjutsu to modify their will!
Anyone...
They cannot accept having their will altered!
Anyone...
They can't accept having another idea implanted in their brains!
Besides this Genjutsu...
It also contains Itachi Uchiha's memories.
Sasuke Uchiha accepted all the memories stored inside with a grim expression, his eyes dark as he watched the Ninja Crow turn to ashes after fulfilling its mission.
"Nisan..."
Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fist and slammed it onto the Stone Tablet at the Naka Shrine. His heart ached with a sharp pain at that moment.
"I almost really thought..."
Sasuke Uchiha slowly turned around, his figure shrouded in darkness, yet his eyes were fixed on the brightly lit Konoha: "You were forced to do all those things back then to save me..."
