Ning Xue heard this and was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, with a calm determination in his tone.
"Yes, your enemies are the 'Danzo' people who gave the order, and the Madara Uchiha who doesn't know the depth yet."
After receiving a positive reply from Ning Xue, Sasuke lowered his head and murmured in a low voice.
"That's it..."
After saying this, he stood up slowly, with a hint of understanding in his eyes, and walked Earth Flow towards Itachi's body.
Seeing this, everyone silently made way for him.
He walked to the corpse, his body softened, and he knelt down in front of Itachi. His hair fell down, covering his eyes that were either sad or angry.
He looked down at the brother he respected the most and the enemy he hated the most.
He stretched out his left hand and opened and closed his lips.
"Nissan... I·you..."
"Pfft--"
Soon after.
On a hillside outside the ruins, a new tomb stood in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The tomb is not big and is made of gravel and soil. There are still fingerprints on the surface that were pressed by Sasuke himself.
There is no stone tablet in front of the tomb, only a regular-shaped stone standing in front of the mound, with a line of text engraved on the stone -
"Uchiha Itachi's Tomb."
Sasuke stood in front of the grave, holding a transparent glass jar in his left hand.
The jar was filled with a pale yellow liquid, and in the center of the liquid, a pair of scarlet eyes were floating quietly.
Everyone stood behind him without saying a word.
Karin looked at his thin back, his eyes were slightly red, but he did not step forward.
Suigetsu rarely put away his playful smile and just stood quietly, his eyes falling on the ground.
Jugo remained silent, but those eyes were full of sadness.
Ning Xue stood at the back, looking at the back, without speaking.
The silence lasted for a moment, until a sharp eagle whistle pierced the sky, breaking the tranquility.
A jet-black eagle circled down from a high altitude and landed on a rock not far away. It tilted its head and scanned the people below with its sharp eyes.
Sasuke raised his head and spoke slowly.
His voice was hoarse, but it carried an unprecedented determination.
"We have shed the snake skin... From now on, our team will be named Eagle."
His fists gradually clenched, and tears fell down his tears.
"Eagle has only one purpose - to help me... revenge Danzo, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Madara Uchiha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his eyes suddenly.
In those eyes, Three-Tomoe Sharingan has disappeared.
Instead, it is Mangekyō Sharingan with a more complicated pattern.
The eagle seemed to feel something. After a long cry, it quickly soared away in the direction of the sunset.
Taka officially sets sail at this moment.
After finishing his words, Sasuke slowly turned around and faced his companions.
The setting sun shone down from behind, coating several people with a golden-red outline.
The new pair of Mangekyō Sharingan rotated slightly in the backlight, and the complex patterns burned with the passion for revenge.
Karin was the first to react.
She stared blankly at Sasuke's face, her cheeks slightly red.
But after seeing those eyes and understanding the emotions contained in them, the blush on her cheeks gradually faded.
Finally, her expression became firm and she clenched her fists, as if she was silently announcing something.
Suigetsu found a rock to sit on, grinning as usual, revealing his iconic row of shark teeth.
"Taka? That's a good name. It sounds more majestic than snake."
He said frivolous words, but there was a rare seriousness in his purple eyes.
He picked up Kubikiribōchō, raised his chin towards Sasuke, and spoke in a brisk but firm tone.
"Since it is revenge, I must join in the fun. But you have to remember the reward. Help me collect Ninja Blade."
Jugo was silent for a moment, then slowly walked forward and spoke lightly.
"I will always follow you..."
Although his words were brief, his expression and words said everything.
Ning Xue stood at the back, quietly watching the scene in front of him, and did not express his position immediately.
At this moment, Sasuke's eyes crossed Karin and Suigetsu and fell on him.
Perhaps it was because Mangekyō Sharingan had increased his IQ. Sasuke looked at him and pondered for a moment.
After a moment, he spoke, his voice still hoarse, but with a touch of sharpness that was different from before.
"Fujiwara."
Ning Xue raised his head slightly.
"I remember you once said that you are also an Avenger."
Sasuke's voice was not loud, but several people present heard it clearly.
"Then who is your enemy from Konoha?"
This sentence is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples among several people.
Suigetsu was the first to open his eyes wide, and turned to look at Ning Xue, almost losing his grip on Kubikiribōchō in his hand.
Karin also looked surprised.
Even Jugo, who had always been silent, couldn't help but look at Ning Xue.
None of them thought that this taciturn, white-haired young man wearing a mask had a similar past to Sasuke. No wonder the two got together.
Ning Xue Hearing these words, a very light chuckle came from under the mask.
The laughter was short, but it contained a hint of helplessness.
He didn't rush to answer.
Instead, he slowly raised his hand, clasped the edge of the mask with his fingertips, and then gently took it off.
The white hair was coated with a layer of golden-red light in the setting sun, revealing a face that had lost its youthful innocence.
But what really made a few people hold their breath was those eyes--
The pure white eyes have no pupils, and the slightly raised veins at the corners of the eyes have not completely subsided, as if they have just exited the observation state of Byakugan.
Karin's breathing suddenly stopped.
Suigetsu's smile froze on his face.
Even Jugo showed a rare look of shock.
"Byakugan..."
Suigetsu murmured and couldn't help but stand up, with incredible shock in his voice.
"Are you from the Hyuga Clan?"
His eyes stayed on Ning Xue's pure white eyes for a long time, and he looked him up and down again, as if he was getting to know this person again.
"No, how could a person from the Hyuga Clan leave Konoha? You... where is the Caged Bird on your head?"
Ning Xue did not answer the first question, but slowly raised his hand and lifted the black scarf in front of his forehead, revealing the blue-black Cursed Seal under his forehead.
The texture of Caged Bird is clearly visible, no different from that of anyone with the Hyuga Branch Family.
Suigetsu looked at that Cursed Seal. He was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils shrank suddenly as if he thought of something:
"You didn't solve it... Then how did you get rid of the control?!"
There was a hint of incredible excitement in his voice, as if he had discovered some great secret.
"How did you do it? I've heard of this thing in Mist Village. It was Hyuga Main House's absolute means of controlling Branch Family! Even Hozuki Clan couldn't crack it--"
"Suigetsu."
Ning Xue interrupted him with a calm tone.
"We'll talk about these things later."
Suigetsu opened his mouth, obviously he still had a lot of questions to ask, but when he saw Ning Xue's calm white eyes, he finally swallowed the words back and muttered angrily:
"... Okay, let's talk about it later."
Karin stood aside, his eyes lingering on Ning Xue and Byakugan for a while, with a complicated expression.
She opened her mouth, and finally couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, with a hint of resentment in her tone.
"No wonder... the perception is stronger than mine..."
Sasuke never looked away.
He looked into Ning Xue's eyes and was silent for a moment, as if he was confirming something.
Then, he spoke slowly, his voice calm but with a hint of sharpness.
"Who is your revenge target...?"
Ning Xue faced his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, and there was no avoiding it:
"Konoha High Command--Danzo."
His voice was calm, as if he had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
Sasuke's brows wrinkled slightly.
The goals are the same.
Where do so many coincidences come from in this world? But he didn't question it directly, he just looked at Ning Xue silently, as if waiting for an explanation.
Ning Xue seemed to understand his silence, and sighed slightly, with a candid tone.
"You guessed it right.
I have long speculated that the demise of Uchiha may be related to Konoha High Command.
The reason why I said those words to you is precisely because I want to form an alliance with you."
Sasuke was silent.
The displeasure of being plotted surged in his heart, but was quickly suppressed by reason.
This person has really been helping him--
Help him solve Orochimaru and control the power of Cursed Seal.
Helped him sort out the doubts he had never thought about. Even just now, this person was the first to stand in front of him, facing the man who called himself Madara Uchiha.
"You took advantage of me." Sasuke's voice was a little complicated.
"But you did help me."
Ning Xue didn't deny it, just nodded slightly.
"So, this matter is written off."
