The Uchiha Tragedy, Sasuke Joins Forces with Obito

Between the mountains.

Sasori stared coldly at Chiyo and Sakura.

Grandma Chiyo had been watching Sasori's body the whole time.

In her eyes, it was obvious that the enemy before them was a puppet.

"How did you learn to make the poison that you used on Kankuro?"

Grandma Chiyo asked coldly.

"Is that so strange?"

"Who else could it have been?"

Sasori replied to Grandma Chiyo in an unhurried voice.

A figure flickered through Grandma Chiyo's mind.

She stared intently at the Sand Scorpion before her.

She still couldn't be sure whether he was her grandson.

"Bastard! Hand over the antidote!"

Without another word, Sakura charged straight at him.

Sasori sneered.

The sharp Steel Spikes on his back instantly took aim at Sakura.

"Watch out!"

Grandma Chiyo hurriedly controlled a puppet to block Sasori's attack.

At the same time, Chiyo controlled a puppet she had already hidden, sending it charging at Sasori from the left.

Sasori furrowed his brow and leaped straight up.

The next second, Sakura suddenly appeared above him.

"Blind Falling!"

Her tremendous strength exploded in an instant.

Sasori's body couldn't withstand the attack.

It broke apart in midair.

A figure leaped out from the shattered puppet.

The moment Grandma Chiyo saw him,

she froze completely.

Red hair and a handsome face.

He looked exactly as he had back then, without the slightest change.

After all, so many years had passed.

It was terrifying that Sasori could still look the same.

But Chiyo quickly figured it out.

Sasori had turned his own body into a puppet.

Meanwhile,

after Chuan Yu emerged from the cave with Karin, he headed toward Sasori.

After a long battle,

Sasori ultimately chose to face death.

It wasn't that Sasori wanted to be killed.

But how could he dodge the embrace of the puppets he called "Father" and "Mother"?

At the crucial moment,

Chuan Yu and Karin hurried to Sasori's side.

They blocked the puppets' attacks together, then helped Sasori retreat to the side.

"Wait!"

When Grandma Chiyo saw Chuan Yu, she suddenly froze.

Memories flooded back.

The figure who had slaughtered the entire Sand force—that had been him!

"Uchiha Chuanyu...?!"

Chuan Yu slowly turned around.

Grandma Chiyo's face went deathly pale.

"You still remember me. I must have left you with a pretty terrible impression back then."

How could she forget!

Yet no matter how hard she tried, Grandma Chiyo couldn't understand why Uchiha Chuanyu had joined the Akatsuki after all these years.

Seeing the cold sweat running down Grandma Chiyo's forehead, Sakura was puzzled.

"Granny, you know him too?"

Grandma Chiyo nodded emphatically. "I'll never forget what happened that day for as long as I live!"

"If he joins the Akatsuki, the whole Ninja World will be caught up in chaos."

Sakura looked at Uchiha Chuanyu with disdain.

"You're Sasuke's brother too, aren't you?"

"Where's Itachi?!"

Hearing Sakura say that, Chuan Yu froze for a moment.

What did this annoying pink-haired girl want with Itachi?

And where was Sasuke?

"Why isn't Sasuke with your three-person team?"

Chuan Yu asked coldly.

"Sasuke? You're with Itachi, aren't you?!"

"The Uchiha were wiped out. How could you not know?!"

Sakura scrutinized Chuan Yu with suspicion.

It hit him like a bolt from the blue.

Chuan Yu's heart suddenly clenched.

"Y-you said what?!"

"The Uchiha... were wiped out?!"

The next second, chakra burst from Chuan Yu's entire body.

He stepped in front of Sakura and grabbed her by the throat, lifting her into the air.

"Sakura!"

Grandma Chiyo was alarmed and hurriedly sent her puppet charging at Chuan Yu.

"Get lost!!!"

The instant he turned his head,

the pupil of his left eye suddenly widened.

Before Grandma Chiyo could react, she lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

"What happened?!"

"Tell me!"

Chuan Yu tightened his grip around Sakura's throat. She struggled to breathe, feeling death draw closer with every passing moment.

"Yu! Stop!"

"Get a hold of yourself! If you keep this up, she'll die!"

Karin suddenly ran over.

At last, Chuan Yu regained a little of his reason.

He loosened his grip, and Sakura dropped to the ground.

"Cough... cough..."

Sakura gulped down air, gasping for breath. The marks around her throat had already turned purple.

She looked at Chuan Yu, still shaken.

"Talk..."

Chuan Yu fought to control his emotions as he looked at Sakura.

"It happened one night, two years ago."

"The entire Uchiha clan was wiped out."

"And everyone knows Itachi did it!"

"That's why Sasuke defected from Konoha at the very end of the Chunin Ninja Exams!"

Sakura shouted hoarsely, her voice full of hurt.

"Bullshit!"

Chuan Yu kicked Sakura in the stomach.

The ground collapsed beneath her. Her expression went blank, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood before passing out.

"Impossible! It's impossible!"

"How could Itachi have done it!"

"I got everything right! I didn't make a single mistake!"

"Why... why did a tragedy that should never have happened happen all over again?!"

Chuan Yu clutched his hair in agony.

Remembering Fugaku and Mikoto's faces, Chuan Yu sank to his knees in grief.

The blowing sand stung his eyes.

Not far away, Sasori looked at the unconscious Grandma Chiyo and suddenly smiled.

At the very end, he had seen his grandmother's true feelings.

At last, he could let go.

"Two years..."

"Two years..."

"So the Uchiha were wiped out two years ago..."

"Sasuke still went to find Orochimaru in the end..."

Chuan Yu refused to believe that Itachi had wiped out the Uchiha, no matter what.

He got up and turned to look at the northern sky.

"Take Sasori back to the Akatsuki first."

"I'm going to find Itachi myself!"

With that, Chuan Yu leaped onto the rocks and climbed over the mountain.

On a large tree not far away,

Obito, wearing the Spiral Mask, suddenly smiled with interest.

A spiral appeared around his right eye.

Obito was sucked inside.

Konoha's border.

Itachi stood atop a high peak, gazing out at the scenery of Konoha.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled, and moments later, rain poured from the sky.

"This isn't good for your health."

Kisame appeared behind him.

Itachi said nothing. He looked up at the sky, letting the rain wash over his face.

"What are you thinking, you coldhearted man? I have no idea."

"But from where I'm standing, it looks like you're crying."

With that, Kisame opened an umbrella and walked over to Itachi.

"Don't catch a cold, Mr. Itachi."

Otogakure.

Deep in a dark underground laboratory,

a delicate-looking young man pulled the Kusanagi Sword from the body of a monstrous snake.

The boy wore a pure white kimono and dark blue pants.

A small clan crest was emblazoned on the back of his kimono. Dark gray guards covered his forearms and extended to his hands.

A purple rope was tied around his waist.

"Sa... Sasuke..."

"You... can't escape my grasp..."

The monstrous snake looked extremely weak, its body covered in wounds.

"Katon..."

"Gokakyu no Jutsu!"

Flames burst from Sasuke's mouth.

The fire roared, and the giant snake was instantly engulfed in flames.

"Now, let's go."

A spiral appeared out of thin air.

The next second, behind Sasuke.

Obito, wearing the Spiral Mask, slowly walked out.

"Then, from now on..."

"We're on the same side..."
