Sasuke Seeks Refuge

Because Feng opened the gates of the clan's territory and made everything public, Sasuke knew the truth about Itachi's massacre of the clan and was also aware of the role played by the Konoha High Command in it.

Therefore, taking revenge on Itachi and on Konoha became his only wish for the rest of his life.

But the older he got and the more he saw, the more he realized that the difference between his mere pair of One-Tomoe Sharingan and Itachi's was like heaven and earth. To think of revenge was simply wishful thinking and a pipe dream.

He could only be kept by Itachi's side, spending his days and nights in vain under his watchful eye.

That's why he felt despair and chose to take his own life to avenge himself on Itachi.

Now, although he didn't die, he has temporarily escaped Itachi's control and been reborn. Sasuke needs to think carefully about the future path he never thought of before.

But suddenly, the image of someone he had seen during the day flashed into Sasuke's mind.

Uchiha Hiroto!

Don't be fooled by the other person's composure and confidence now. He had met the other person before he left. Back then, the other person's ninja talent was not as good as his own, who was two years younger, and he looked just as Tenten and resentful as he is now.

But now, everything about the other person is so good that it makes people envious and jealous.

Although his strength may not seem as good as Itachi's, it has already surpassed his own by a great deal.

No longer filled with bitterness and hatred, living without any constraints, confusion, or obsession, and able to do what they want according to their own thoughts and desires.

The reason why people who are now living much better lives than I was is because they can control their own lives as they please.

This was all thanks to Uchiha Feng, who was once considered a traitor to the Uchiha Clan and a sinner of Konoha by his father, that beast Itachi, and the former Hokage of Konoha.

Over the years, wherever he went, he heard all sorts of rumors about the other person.

However, before the establishment of the Land of Whirlpools, those were just rumors.

After all, Uchiha Feng had been leading the Uchiha Clan into hiding and had never shown his face in the Ninja World.

But now, in Konoha, in Akatsuki, and even anywhere else in the Ninja World, when he hears rumors about the other party again, the other party has finally led the Uchiha to reclaim the prestige that belonged to the Uchiha and become famous throughout the Ninja World.

Sasuke, through various scattered pieces of information about Uchiha Feng, snippets of conversation from others, and especially Uchiha Hiroto's casual chats over the past few days, roughly learned about the current situation in the Land of Land of Whirlpools.

That country, established by the Uchiha Clan and a few remaining members of the Uzumaki, with the Uchiha Clan leader Uchiha Feng as its Sovereign, had no ninja villages, no ' Will of Fire ' that was always trying to brainwash people, no various rules and regulations that restricted human nature, and no high-ranking officials who were always scheming against their own people.

That was the true new home for the Uchiha Clan.

With the clan leader Feng, who is hailed as the number one Ninja World, in charge, no country or power dares to act recklessly towards the Land of Whirlpools.

Although the so-called god didn't acknowledge this during the "Akatsuki" era, nor did he admit it during a casual chat with Black Zetsu, they didn't challenge Chief Feng to refute the rumor.

This is enough to show that even if some people do not acknowledge that Clan Chief Feng is the number one Ninja World today, no one dares to actually provoke him.

In particular, Sasuke learned from Hiroto that although the clan leader Feng disliked Itachi, he had a very high opinion of him.

Under these circumstances, Sasuke felt that the Land of Whirlpools, to the clan chief of the Fuu clan, might be the place he should go next.

With Chief Feng around, Itachi couldn't even get close to the Land of Whirlpools, let alone try to control or manipulate his life again.

Moreover, if he could receive the excellent guidance that transformed Hiroto, he would likely gain the strength to avenge himself against Itachi and clear his name as a sinner.

As for the price to pay, Sasuke didn't think about it, nor did he care.

As long as he could kill Itachi, he would accept being left to the fate of the clan chief, Feng, to do with as he pleased.

With his mind no longer confused and having made a decision, Sasuke raised his hand and removed the Forehead Protector that symbolized his status as missing-nin, casually tossing it into the river.

Since there are no ninjas wearing Forehead Protector in the Land of Whirlpools, he doesn't need to bring one when he goes to join them.

"Itachi, Konoha, hmph! Just wait, I will definitely come back for revenge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke and sped off towards the Land of Land of Whirlpools in the south without looking back.

"Hey, Sasuke, don't run around like a madman!"

If I really lose you, the Jueshiman will definitely kill me.

Seeing this, White Zetsu took off running and chased after him.

About half an hour after Sasuke left, Itachi finally retrieved the Forehead Protector that Sasuke had discarded from the lower reaches of the Naka River.

"Hahaha, I knew it, Sasuke isn't dead."

It's just a cliff, how could he die so easily?"

Seeing the knot in his Forehead Protector that had clearly been torn not long ago, he was overjoyed.

Then, Itachi immediately began to follow the river, searching for Sasuke's whereabouts step by step.

"They headed south!"

As an excellent ninja, Itachi easily found Sasuke, who had only attended school for a year and spent the rest of his life completely unsupervised. Sasuke had only a superficial understanding of ninja knowledge and had never learned how to conceal his identity or whereabouts before Sasuke for the Tea Country.

Sasuke arrived in the capital of the Land of Whirlpools a day later.

Gaara, who was touring the capital to observe the true state of the people, suddenly saw the other person—an Uchiha he had never seen before.

"Sasuke Uchiha, how could you...?"

However, Gaara recognized the other person a moment later.

Because the other party's brother was so famous, he had come across the other party's wanted poster when he was looking at Itachi's wanted poster.

"I wish to see your Sovereign."

Sasuke didn't know Gaara, but this was the capital of the Land of Whirlpools, and he didn't believe anyone would dare to impersonate Feng's subordinate here.

"Okay, follow me."

If an ordinary person said that, Gaara definitely wouldn't pay any attention to them, let alone agree to it.

But Sasuke's surname Uchiha, and under Feng's command, that surname alone is enough to qualify him to meet Feng.

Then, a moment later.

"Knock knock!"

A knock sounded at the door outside the Sovereign's private office in the capital Palace.

"Come in."

As the person inside spoke, Sasuke finally saw the legendary number one Ninja World — Uchiha Feng— once again.

His posture remained upright and his demeanor serene, yet he inspired awe and a desire to worship him.

He was more dignified than Sasuke had imagined, more like a ruler of a country.

Meanwhile, Feng was reviewing several funding applications from the Land of Wind, handed to him by Mei Terumi and Uchiha Izumi.

He looked up at Gaara and Sasuke, Gaara had brought with him.

"Sit."

He only said one word, without any pleasantries.

There was no doubt as to why Sasuke was there.

Neither Gaara nor Sasuke sat down. One was still somewhat reserved, not yet fully integrated into the group, while the other simply dared not be presumptuous.

But seeing that Feng didn't speak, Sasuke mustered his courage and spoke again:

"I hope to return to the family."

Feng, still intently studying the documents in his hands, replied without looking up, "Return? Why!?"

Sasuke hearing this, Sasuke activated his One-Tomoe Sharingan.

"I need time and guidance to become stronger, strong enough to kill Itachi."

Elsewhere, I didn't have that kind of time, and no one could guide me on how to kill Itachi.

Then I thought of you. You led the Uchiha Clan to leave Konoha without hesitation, and then led the Uchiha Clan to become famous throughout the Ninja World, taking charge of the country and establishing the Land of Whirlpools.

And you and the Uchiha you lead must also hate Itachi, that beast who betrayed the clan, so you will most likely help me, who also wants to kill him.

After all, nothing is more satisfying than me, that guy's younger brother, personally killing him who had harmed our people!

So, I came here.

When he mentioned Itachi, Sasuke seemed to turn his head slightly, as if still feeling a lingering fear, to see if Itachi was still behind him.

But at this moment, behind him were two powerful Uchiha clansmen standing guard outside the office door, beside him was Gaara had brought him here, and in front of him was the dignified Uchiha Feng.

This instantly put his mind at ease.

Then, Sasuke continued, "And... those in Konoha who forced him to make a choice."

The office fell silent for a moment.

Mei Terumi and Uchiha Izumi, who were processing documents, couldn't help but look up at Sasuke.

The alliance between the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha is well-known in the Ninja World, and the kinship between Tsunade and her Master is also widely rumored.

Under such circumstances, someone actually dared to say they wanted to deal with Konoha in front of Feng!

They wanted to see what such a brave Uchiha looked like.

Feng put down the documents in his hand, a smile of appreciation playing on his lips as he looked at Sasuke.

"You said it yourself, you're that guy's brother, and your father is an incorrigible good-for-nothing."

So why should I believe you would actually harm Itachi or Konoha?

He asked again.

Upon Sasuke did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment whether to tell the truth or lie.

"It's because of Senior Uchiha Hiroto."

You sent him to Konoha as Exchange Student, and I happened to be taken to Konoha by Itachi as well.

I learned from Senior Hiroto that you recognized and praised me.

As for myself, I saw the changes you brought to the Uchiha through Hiroto- senpai.

They are no longer extreme and can truly think about and solve problems.

No longer obsessed with the power of the Sharingan, they will improve their strength by diligently training in other abilities, and firmly believe that this will not be weaker than the power brought by the Sharingan.

This change is what I want, and it's necessary.

Otherwise, I would not be a match for Itachi.

But in the end, he chose to tell the truth.

The look of approval on Feng's face deepened.

Suddenly, Quan spoke.

"Hiroto did report to me that he had been in contact with you, but he didn't expect you to come directly to the Land of Whirlpools."

"But where else can I go besides here!?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke let out a low growl, as if in response, yet also as if questioning himself.

"Lord Feng, please help me. I'll pay any price if it means I can kill Itachi with my own hands."

Then, he suddenly knelt down in front of Feng, prostrating himself on the ground.

As for the arrogance and pride of being Uchiha?

Feng Ke is the head of the Uchiha Clan, while Sasuke is just an ordinary Uchiha who considers himself helpless and burdened with a blood feud.

Why worry about anything else when you're asking your elders for help?

Hehehe!

Any price? What if I make you give up your revenge against Konoha?

Feng, whose lips had been slightly upturned, couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and burst out laughing, but he set up a small test for Sasuke.

Sasuke's expression froze instantly upon hearing this.

He abruptly raised his head, the Tomoe in his Sharingan spinning wildly, and couldn't help but question:

"Why?! You know better than I do that the weasel was just a sword used to slaughter its own people."

If revenge is merely about destroying the knife while ignoring the person who wields it, then isn't the revenge essentially meaningless?

"Who says I'm going to ignore the person wielding the knife?"

I only told you not to make a move, I didn't say the Uchiha wouldn't seek revenge on Konoha."

Feng raised an eyebrow and explained with a strange expression.

But he didn't say much, since he guessed that Sasuke, Naruto, Hiroto, Naruto had probably changed some things.

He no longer spoke as recklessly as before, to avoid being overheard by the Sage of Six Paths in his soul form, who might then cause some trouble.

"This..."

Sasuke was speechless for a moment. When it came to avenging Konoha, how could he, a descendant of a sinner from the Uchiha, be more legitimate than the head of the Uchiha Clan?

"Hehe, get up. You haven't disappointed me."

Although the answers to each question were unpleasant, they were the reactions a normal person would have, and that is what is most valuable.

Therefore, Sasuke Uchiha, as the head of the Uchiha Clan, I grant you permission to return to the clan.

As for becoming stronger... you excel at Lightning Release and swordsmanship...

"Damn, you look pretty much like me."

At this point, Feng himself couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

His commonly used techniques include: Susanoo, Flying Thunder God Technique, Lightning Release Body Tempering, swordsmanship, Senjutsu, Iron Release, Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique, and various Rasengan.

The adult Sasuke in the original timeline Susanoo, Amenotejikara, and Chidori Stream to enhance his physical abilities, Uchiha Style Swordsmanship, the Rinnegan, and various Chidori Stream.

Aside from lacking Senjutsu, their abilities are almost identical.

Therefore, the young Sasuke in front of him could simply follow Feng's own model and train accordingly.

After all, while that adult Sasuke was similar to Feng, most of his combat power relied on the Rinnegan and Mangekyō.

The young Sasuke before them had already been abandoned by the Sage of Six Paths, so he could no longer possess the Rinnegan, and his Amenotejikara was gone. Clearly, it was not suitable for him to rely on the adult Sasuke.

Wait... he doesn't have Amenotejikara, but the future Sasuke who traveled back in time has Kamui as his Mangekyou Mangekyō ability.

'Hehe, no wonder, now I understand!' Feng instantly realized.

Sasuke, couldn't learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he used Kamui to replace the role of the Flying Thunder God in Feng's combat system.

As for where those two Mangekyō of Kamui came from...

Feng's Mangekyō was stolen from someone else; will his future fixed eyes also be stolen from someone else?

Given this situation, it's highly likely that Sasuke, a descendant of the Feng lineage, got his eyes from somewhere—is that even a question?

"From now on, you'll be just Gaara, following me directly."

Hehe, I'll teach you myself.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke looked at Feng in disbelief, but then, overjoyed, kowtowed again in gratitude.

"Yes, Chieftain! We will follow your instructions."

The office fell silent again.

Mei Terumi, Uchiha Izumi, and Gaara looked at Feng in disbelief, then at Sasuke, wondering what was so special about this kid that Feng was willing to personally take him under his wing and teach him.

Given Feng's current status and position, this is truly an incredible thing.

Ke Feng smiled, and couldn't help but think to himself:

'Heh, the Sage of Six Paths just replaced Indra's reincarnation with another Uchiha under my command.'

Now! The abandoned reincarnation of Indra has joined my ranks, and if I train him to be even stronger than the new Indra reincarnation.

Well... hahaha! Should the old man regret revising the script?

Or will they come up with some other tricks?

Just thinking about it made Feng secretly delighted.
